A Joke Gone Too Far
Chapter 2.
Lily woke hours later. She found herself snuggled deep in James's chest, his arm wrapped around her. And, for some strange unknown reason, she just smiled and fell back asleep.
He's a half decent pillow, I'd have to say.
It's kind of nice.
James woke up a few minutes after Lily had gone back to
sleep. He realized his position and immediately tried to pull apart. But then
he caught himself.
I fell asleep.
Now I don't know what the others said about
me and Lily.
But, you know, it's kind of nice having Lily
right here. With me. Idiot that she is.
She can be cute if I really imagine. And it
takes less energy now than it did just a few hours ago.
He fell back to sleep, his thoughts disappearing and his subconscious flying into the time known as dreaming.

Sirius and Remus reappeared in the common room less than
fifteen minutes later. They looked at each other.
"Can two people really sleep that long?" Remus asked.
Sirius looked at him. "Correction. The question is: can two
enemies sleep that long in each other's arms?" He looked back at the two on the
couch.
"This is getting really boring." Remus started towards the
stairs.
"Wait." Sirius started walking towards the sleeping James
and Lily. Remus followed, intrigued.
Sirius prodded James in the shoulder with his fist. James
stirred.
"Good morning, Harry," he said sleepily.
"Harry?" Remus mouthed. Sirius shrugged and proceeded to
ask James some questions.
"So, how's your teddy bear, James?"
"Really cuddly." He squeezed Lily into a one-armed hug.
Remus and Sirius sniggered.
"I love it. Where'd you get it?"
"It's really Harry's. I like it, though; it's much more huggable than some things."
"Like what, spiders?"
"Definitely."
"Really."
"Yes."
"That red hair on her is really befitting, James. It really
matches your black."
"Her? This bear is a she?"
"Yeah."
James woke with a start and sat up. "What is she
doing in my lap?"
Remus and Sirius looked at each other and burst out
laughing.

A/N [drum roll please] [trumpet fanfare] Here it
is! The long awaited second chapter! I know all you people have been waiting
forever for this, and now you have it. But, everything in life comes with a
price. I think I just made that up. Anyway, the third chapter will be up in a
few days. Today, meaning the day I wrote this, I had an audition for a state
honors orchestra. Yikes! Well, results don't come till June 1st… and
my friend, the best girl in the school orchestra, second best in the whole school
orchestra, tried out yesterday. on the bus yesterday, we agreed that we would
never make the honors orch. But we tried. Who cares. And, sometime in may, I'm trying
out for the local youth symphony. [myso] am I busy enough? The thing that
sucked is that on Friday, yesterday, was the school lock-in, and I had to miss
it because of my stupid audition! I was so mad at my dad when he said I couldn't
go. Well, now you know the story of my life. oh yeah, don't forget to review!
Disclaimer… as you all know, I am the
lovely, the talented, the j.k.rowling. Yeah, I wish. Actually, I'm shana, and I
own no one that sounds familiar. Ok?
