Chapter XXI +Continuing



"Let's get some ice cream for celebration!" Sirius cried happily, after Maria had left the infirmary.

"WHAT is there to celebrate for?" Maria asked, rolling her eyes.

"Well, we've got an hour left before you're skin turns back to normal." Sirius said. "We should celebrate the fact that it's still blue!"

"And you're still insane." Maria muttered, but followed Sirius to the kitchens anyway.

Sirius did, hear Maria's remark, but just toothily grinned and began to sing "If you're happy and you know it…" complete with hand claps and feet stomps.

Maria shook her head, but her lips were forming a small smile. This boy is just insane.

"I want to ask Maria about it." Alison whined. "I need to, I have to…"

"If you're so desperate then do so." Remus said.

"But I'm not speaking to her, or Lily."

"Then maybe you should just call the fight off."

"No." Alison insisted. "I can't."

"Then you'll never know what's going on."

"But…" Alison began. "I want to know."

"So you should talk to them."

"But…" Alison whined. "I DON'T KNOW!!"



***

"I still can't believe you boxed Alison and Lily." Sirius said, laughing. "If I have grandchildren, I will tell them the story of today."

"Yes… that is, if you live up to that day." Maria said. "Who knows what I could do to you before that? Maybe you got me really mad and made you unable to have kids."

"Haha. Well, that won't happen. You're as stubborn as Alison and Lily."

"Hm." Maria said. "Imagine Alison running to me, apologizing."

"Yep." Sirius scoffed. "That will be the day James and Lily get together."

"Are you implying that to a never?"

"Nope. Just a maybe in the future."

"You should really stop doing this." Lily muttered, pushing James away for the 5th time that evening. (A/n: wink wink… oh what were they doing?? ;) hehe)

"Sorry." James replied, adjusting his glasses. "I got carried away."

"Okay." Lily said, fanning her face. She was probably as red as a tomato now. "Jam-Potter, please… stop it."

"Just call me James, please?" James pleaded. "Seriously, I'm getting tired of you calling me Potter."

"Alright. James, pleasee… stop it." Lily repeated, covering her face with a sofa pillow.

James let out a big sigh and sat, arms folded, next to Lily.

"What are you doing, what are you thinking!?" Lily asked. "Why are you suddenly doing all these things to me?"

"Well," James began. "I don't know what I'm thinking cause when I'm with you I don't think right."

"Stuff it Romeo." Lily said, rolling her eyes. "Enough b.s, just tell me what prank you're playing on me now."

"You think this is all a prank??" James said incredulously. "It's no prank, Lily Evans. Except if you say falling for you is the biggest joke on earth."

"Excuse me?" Lily stammered, not believing her ears. "What did you just say?"

"I said, I am falling for you." James repeated. "Hard."

"No way, you can't be, um, James." Lily said, laughing nervously. "No way…"

"Is it hard to believe?"

"Dear Lord, of course it is! We've hated each other since FIRST YEAR!!"

"NO, we haven't. We didn't hate each other." James said.

"Well, maybe you didn't but I sure did." Lily snipped. James's face clouded over, a look of hurt pasted on his face. Lily immediately regretted what she had said.

"I see. How could I have been foolish enough to think you could have liked me back." James murmured.

"Listen to me James, You do NOT like me. You must be on some love potion or some sort."

"NO Lily, YOU listen to me. I DO like you."

"NO, you DON'T." Lily said exasperatingly. "You don't, you didn't, and you never will…"

"What makes you think that? Why are you trying to deny this?"

"Because it's the truth," Lily answered. "You. Don't. Like. Me."

"Yeah, I don't like you, I just really love you." James muttered.

"Pardon?"

"I can't believe you don't believe me. All right, fine. I'll figure out SOME way to show you that I do." James said, getting up and leaving the common room, leaving Lily in some trance.

"Okay, you're coming with me mister." Alison said, pulling Remus's arm.

"Where to?"

"To talk to Maria."

"So you're going to apologize?"

"Hell no." Alison replied. "I didn't do anything wrong."

Remus sighed. His girlfriend could be so stubborn sometimes.

"Then what are you going to do."

"Ask her about Lily and James, of course."

"But you're not talking to her, so wouldn't it be weird?"

"Oh, I didn't think about that." Alison said. "Oh no. What am I going to do?"

"Apologize." Remus pointed out.

"No!!"

"You'll never know then."

Maria and Sirius had just taken bowls and bowls of ice cream from the kitchen, and finished it all in one second. They were now walking back to the common room, Maria's blue spots fading from her skin.

"Get your freak on," Sirius sang. "Get your freak on, get you freak on, get get get get get get your freak on…"

Maria made a face.

"You no like? Ok. I give you another song." Sirius said in a fake Chinese accent. "I like big butts and I cannot lie, u other brotherz can't deny, when a girl walks in with a itty, bitty, waist

and a round thing in ur face u get sprung!"

Maria's face cracked up into a huge grin. "SIRIUS!!"

"Want to pull up tough, cuz u noticed that butt was stuck, beef to the jeans she's wearing

I'm hooked and I can't stop staring, oh baby I wanna get wit cha, and take ur pictcha

my homeboys tried 2 warn me, but that butt u got makes me so horny" Sirius sang.

Maria's grin broke into laughter.

"Ooooooo rumple smooth skin, u say u wanna get my benz, well use me use me cuz u ain't that average groupie, I seen her dancing, to hell with romancing, she sweat, wet, she's got it going like a turbo jet…" Sirius sang, jumping up and down. "I'm tired of magazines, seeing flat butts are the thing, cuz the average black man ask him that, she's got 2 pack much back."

Maria was practically on the floor laughing.

"So fellas, YAH! Fellas, YAH! Cuz ur girlfriends got the butt, HELL YAH!" Sirius grinned. "Shake it yah, shake it yah, shake that healthy butt, baby got back!!" Sirius sang, complete with some dancing jigs and shaking his erm, bottom.

"That was an entertaining performance, Mr. Black." A voice behind them quipped.

"Oh! Professor Dumbledore!" Sirius cried, and Maria swore she could see embarrassment on Sirius's face.

"A bit late to be out, don't you think?" Dumbledore asked.

"No, certainly not sir. It's just 8 o'clock." Sirius answered, grinning widely.

"Well, I suppose so. I was thinking of getting myself a sundae." Dumbledore said, smacking his lips.

"We just did sir. My compliments to the House Elves." Sirius grinned.

"Good Night, Sirius, Maria. I do suggest for you two to get back before curfew." Dumbledore said. "You never know what might happen."

"Of course sir. I am escorting Miss White back to the common room." Sirius said. "Good bye professor!"

Dumbledore smiled, and turned the corner. Sirius and Maria got back to the common room, surprised to find it packed again.

"Where did James and Lily go?" Sirius asked his little brother Aries.

"I don't know. Maybe in some broom shed…"

"Very funny Aries." Maria said dryly.

"Hey, come on!! Didn't you people SEE James's expression when he said 'I'll take care of Lily'? He's in love." Aries said, grinning toothily.

"How would you know if he's in love?" Sirius scoffed. "You just passed the 'girl's have cooties' age."

"I know, my dear brother. Unlike some of James's idiotic friends." Aries said haughtily.

"HEY! I'm going to tell mum YOU finished the whole apple pie that day when I did!!" Sirius threatened.

"Oh, Sirius, I am so scared." Aries said sarcastically.

Maria began to giggle, god, even his family's insane.
