"Lily's got a cru-ush! Lily's got a cru-ush!" Sirius, Remus and Munguldus sang for nearly fifty miles. Lily pedaled faster, ahead of them, hitting Arabella square on her stomach every time she tried to catch up.
Finally, Lily got sick of Sirius's off-key singing and turned on the radio. It found the nearest signal (she had Charmed it way back) and she got Free's 'Alright Now'.
That got them to shut up and sing along.. It was practically their anthem whenever they could listen to it. Sirius did his version of an air guitar while (supposedly) still pedaling. Only then did they start taunting her again.
"Come on, Lily.. I didn't mean to.. It slipped." Arabella said as she caught up.
"Just like my fist is going to slip a little to the left and hit you in your stomach, again." Lily snapped, pedaling faster. The next signal picked up Abba's 'Fernando'.
"There was something in the air that night, the stars were bright.." Munguldus sang..
"Ah-Lilee.." Remus and Sirius crooned.
"There was something there for you and whatever his name is, for liberty.." Munguldus continued.
"Ah-Lilee.."
"Though you never thought that you could lose, what's for romance? If you could do the same again, you would, my friend.."
"Ah-Lilee."
About fifty miles later, they stopped at a gas station, and while Lily took an extra long time to lock up her bike, James came up to her.
"Psst.. Lily." He whispered, like he was some freaky secret agent.
"What, James?" She asked exasperatedly.
"Lily's got a cru-ush.. Lily's got a cru-ush." He whispered softly in her ear, leaving before she could punch him out. She locked up her bike and ran off after the boys good-naturedly. Except James.
"Oh well.. They're going to tease me for the rest of the summer anyway." She said in a tired voice. "Might as well play along."
An hour later, she was singing along to Fernando.
"There was something in the air that night, the stars were bright.. None of your business.. There was something there for you and me, for liberty, none of your business.. Though we never thought that we could lose.. So much for romance.. If I could do the same again, I would, my friend.. None of your business." She sang whole-heartedly, sticking her tongue out at a curious Sirius (A/N: RHYMES!!!).
"So, who is he?" Munguldus asked as they settled down at a new campsite, Lily making a bit of vegetable soup over the fire.
"None of your business." Arabella said while Lily said at the same time-
"Guess."
"Hogwarts?" James asked first as Lily served everyone soup and toast.
"Yes."
"Seventh year?" Sirius suggested.
"Nope.."
"Sixth year?" Munguldus pondered aloud.
"Will be." Lily said as she sat down. She began to eat her soup.
"Slytherin." Remus said disgustedly.
"Eww!!!!" Lily exclaimed from her soup.
"Hufflepuff?" James offered.
"He'd be offended if you called him that." Lily said simply. Arabella began to snort into her soup. Lily shot her a glare.
"Ravenclaw." Remus declared confidently.
"Not really."
"Gryffindor!" Sirius exclaimed with glee.
"Good night, gentlemen.. Later, Bella." Lily said, getting up and putting her bowl into the tub of hot water, then going into the tent and turning off the lantern inside.
"Gryffindor sixth year! I wonder who that could be. There's what, eleven of us?" James asked, ladling himself more soup and taking a spoonful.
"Thirteen." Remus corrected.
"Didn't that break a record or something?" Munguldus asked as Arabella bid them good night.
"Yeah.." Sirius muttered. "Let's narrow that down a bit, shall we?"
"Not Remus." Munguldus said quickly.
"Or Ronan.. Bella's on-and-off boyfriend." James added.
"Nor Sirius or Munguldus." Remus added.
"Nor James." Sirius said, as if that were obvious.
"I beg pardon! She could still like me!" James said in offense. "But, on second thought.. She did call me a big fat jerk, didn't she?"
The three boys nodded so silently the bugs made more noise.
"You guys are not that close!" Arabella shouted from inside their tent.
"That's still eight.. But she said she had a thing against in-house dating.. Too complicated, she said." Sirius stated.
"So whoever it is, they won't really date her.. They'd know she was interested already, wouldn't they?" James asked. "This love-tangle thingy is too much for my head. I'm off to bed."
The remaining boys began to clean up, and by the dimming fire, Sirius whipped something out of his backpack.
"Psst.. Guys- Check it out." Sirius whispered to them. It was the photo he hadn't given to the yearbook of James in Godric Hollow. The one where Lily was sitting in James's lap with her sweater-covered arms around his neck, on the gazebo steps. They looked at each other lovingly, and the three boys awwed.
"Isn't that sweet?" Munguldus whispered.
"Only peace and quiet we'll be getting out of them!" Remus said instantly. The three boys muffled laughs.
"It is cute, though, isn't it?" Sirius asked after a few moments of silence.
"Yeah." The other two boys agreed after a beat or two. It was really sweet.
