DISCLAIMER: ok, I own the plot, Jake the Cat and Kiki. That's all. Damn!
J.K. Rowling does own everything else, including Sirius *sob sob* so… yeah.
Thankyou to everyone who reviewed, I was astonished to realise that within 14 hours, I had received nearly 20 reviews! Thanks guys!

"I cannot believe that was Lily, man!" Sirius Black grinned. He was sitting in the virtually empty Gryffindor common room. He was sitting with Prongs and Moony; they didn't know where Peter was. (A/N- please don't kill me for not putting much Wormtail in the story, but I don't really like him. :( He's mean.)
"I know." Remus, the quiet one, spoke up from the overstuffed armchair he was lazing back in.
James said nothing. He just stared into the fire.
"Earth to James! Earth to James!"
"Wha-what?"
James jumped only to find Sirius and Remus looking at him with knowing and amused looks on their faces.
They sat there quietly until James drifted off again, looking into the fire, forgetting everything around them. Sirius and Remus grinned.
"LILY!!" they shouted.
James jumped a mile. "Hey! Guys! Don't do that!"
"Oh, so it is Lily."
"It is not."
"Is so."
"Is not."
"Is so."
"I cannot believe we are doing this." James shook his head ruefully. "Anyway, not to change the subject or anything—"
"Sure you're not trying to change the subject…"
"Shut up Sirius! Anyway, what are we doing to Snape this term? Got any ideas?"
"We need to expand our horizons," said Sirius, trying to look intelligent. "What should we do this year- transfiguration or potions?"
"Or charms," added Remus.
"Why not both?" came a voice from the door. It was Lily. She was dressed in green robes that brought out the colour of her eyes, and they hugged her figure in such a way they made even Sirius stammer.
"Uh…uh because…"
"Gee, they really have been teaching you guys a lot in school, haven't they?" she said sarcastically.
The three boys nodded.
"I'm a dork." She said suspiciously.
The three boys nodded.
"Snape rules."
The three boys nodded.
"Oh stop it!" she cried, hitting them all with a pillow. She immediately regretted this, when a moment later, all three of them shouted, "Revenge!"
And so began the pillow fight of the century.
***
One hundred and fifty points, sixteen pillows and four detentions later, it had ended. They were all covered in feathers, and even though, to Lily, James looked adorable with a tiny feather hanging off the end of his nose, they had to get dressed for dinner.
When they arrived in the great hall, Dumbledore (A/N I'm not sure if Dumbley was the headmaster in Lily and James' time, so lets make it he was, ok?) made an announcement.
"Good evening, students, and welcome back to another fine year at Hogwarts. I have a few announcements to present before we can feast, however. First, Professor Dean has offered to give extra Defence Against The Dark Arts lessons to those who are interested in becoming Aurors, they will start on Wednesday the twenty-first. Second, the candle of Keanhel is missing. Anyone who finds it will receive a large reward courtesy of Professor Geoff."
At that, a large buzz broke out over the hall.
"The candle of Keanhel…" Lily muttered to James. She usually sat with the Ravenclaws, but her and Kiki were sitting with the Marauders for tonight. "That wouldn't happen to be the large yellow candle in the middle of our Headquarters, would it?"
James flashed her a sheepish grin.
"Oh, James!" Lily started laughing.
Dumbledore cleared his throat, his eyes twinkling. "Since I already have my suspicions on who took it, I would like to see James Potter, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin after dinner."
The whole hall was silent. Then, by as if from an invisible signal, the entire hall burst out laughing. The three boys just sat there, grinning sheepishly.
"Oh, don't tell me you don't enjoy it," she whispered to them, her eyes sparkling.
Sirius stood up, and climbed on the Gryffindor table. "I would like to announce," he cried out, his eyes gleaming. "That by unspoken agreement, the candle will be returned, and the reward can be made out to me!"
Remus and James wrestled him to the ground, and sat him down firmly.
"What?" he asked innocently.
***
Catcalls and yells followed Sirius all the way from the common room to his bed. He sat down, grinning at his two best friends.
"Well, that was certainly an evening, Sirius." Remus Lupin's amused eyes started into Sirius'.
"Well," the black haired boy began.
"Don't even try to start, Sirius! What were you thinking, climbing up on that table?"
"You could have at least pulled us up, too!" said James.
"What do you think Kiki and Lily thought? James? James?" Remus' concerned face looked into James'.
"What?" he answered, his eyes faraway.
"Don't bother," said Sirius, swinging his legs off the bed and walking over to a chair. "Say the name Lily and we've lost him."
James didn't respond, but a faint tinge appeared in his cheeks.
"Aha!" They cried.
***
"I cannot believe what Sirius did," Lily told her best friend, Kiki.
"You have to admit, it was pretty funny."
"It was funny! It was just, I don't know. I could never do that."
"Why not?" Kiki sat down on her bed. The two had always arranged their beds so that it looked like they were sleeping in the same room. They dragged their curtains together, so they could have a private gossip, and no one could hear.
"I don't know. I'm going to brush my teeth." With that, she climbed out of bed and walked into the bathroom.
And nearly fainted at the sight that greeted her.

So… what happened in the bathroom? Will Sirius mortify the Marauders again at mealtime? And most important, WHEN are they going to embarrass the living hell out of Snape? All in Chapter 3…
Also, I love receiving reviews; I love reading all the things that you have to say. But if you are going to review, please do not criticise. It helps no one. If you have nothing nice to say, then please say nothing at all.
Thankyou to all you nice people who reviewed, I can't thank you by name yet, as I'm writing this offline, but thanks anyway!
