The Damsels Of Distress
Chapter 8- Heads Full of Thoughts and Rumbling Stomachs

"Minerva has informed me of your outburst during her class," Dumbledore stated after each of them had taken a seat. He found the death glares James and Lily were shooting each other highly amusing. " She also seems to think that Peter Pettigrew is in danger, in fact she insist that we put him under a protective charm." The Marauders and the Damsels groaned loudly in unison.
"See fire head, I told you this would happen! If you learned to keep your mouth shut we would all be better off," was James curt reply.
"Excuse me, but can I take the advantage to tell you once again that you were the ones to burst into Minny's class and started the fight," snapped Lily. "I would also like to point out that I am in an extremely bad mood, and if you don't watch it your going to be in the hospital wing for a long time!"
"Oh sure, go ahead and try it girlie," chortled James. He knew that this probably wasn't the best thing to say, but he liked getting Lily worked up.
Fortunately for James, as Lily was already raising wand, Dumbledore decided to interrupt.
"Excuse me but there is the little matter of your detentions," Dumbledore had his usual twinkle in his eyes as he said this. "You will all be reporting to Hagrid at eight tonight to help him find look for hippogriff eggs."
"Professor wouldn't be easier to find hippogriff eggs in the daylight," asked Iris.
"Hippogriffs leave their nest unprotected when they hunt, and they hunt at night time. It would be extremely hard and dangerous to take the egg out from under the mother hippogriff," he explained to them. "Anymore questions?" All of them shook their heads no.
"Lily, James, will you two stay behind a few moments? The rest of you may go to lunch," just as he said that Sirius's stomach let out a loud growl, and he and Remus bolted out the door, Channing and Iris following closely. James and Lily shot exasperated glances at each other, and turned their attention back to Dumbledore who had a perceptible expression of amusement on his face. "You two are both exceptionally bright, but unfortunately you both have horrible tempers and you both know it." Here James and Lily snuck glances at each other to see the others expression after this statement. "It would be useless to tell you not to fight, because we all know that no-matter what I say, you will fight anyway. You are both determined, which is one of the reasons I made you Head-Boy and Girl, but you are both very stubborn and proud which is not something to be pleased about. Let me impart some of my wisdom to both of you. This will help you the rest of your lives: Always make sure you mean what you are saying. When you lose your temper it is extremely easy to say things that you don't really mean, and it can make you hurt each other. Hurt may be forgiven, but it will never be forgotten. Always remember that." Lily and James both nodded and headed out the door, with heads full of thoughts and grumbling stomachs.
"Man it's 7:45," exclaimed James as he looked at his watch. "Not only did we miss lunch, but we are due at Hagrids in 15 minutes. What are we going to do?"
"I don't know about you, but I am going to the kitchen and getting some food to carry with me, and I am going to eat during detention."
"Shit, I forgot I told Merril that I would come discuss some extra credit potions project with him! I gotta go see what he wants. Will you please get me some sandwiches for me too Lily?"
"Whatever," Lily shrugged her shoulders. James gave her an appreciative nod and bolted down the hall towards the Potion Dungeon, while Lily walked in the opposite direction toward the kitchen.
