Open To Interpretation
When Jessabelle, Remus and Peter came back, they had a few things to get used to. Firstly, Lily was slowly getting back to her old self and secondly there was the whole Arabella/Sirius romance. Remus and Jessabelle had a lot to say on that matter but Peter seemed to withdraw into himself. He had become very quiet and the Marauder's brought this up on numerous occasions but he ignored them or walked off. Needless to say, they were all worried about him but they didn't want to push him away further by constantly bringing it up.
It was one night in the middle of January that had the girls sitting around the common room fire talking with the Marauders "mysteriously" absent.
"How long have you and Sirius been going out now, Bella?" Jessabelle asked cheekily.
Arabella groaned, "Honestly! One more day than yesterday when you asked me the SAME QUESTION!!!!"
"Which is?"
"Three weeks." Arabella giggled.
"Aww...Aniversary!!!" Lily exclaimed.
"Don't be silly, Lily." This caused the girls to start laughing hysterically.
"Why are we laughing?" Lily asked gasping for breath.
"I haven't a clue!" Arabella chirped.
"Do you mind? Some of us are trying to do work!" A snotty sixth year yelled at them.
"Tsk tsk. Talking to your head girl with such disrespect, detention Lils?" Arabella grinned.
"Oh, screw you. " The sixth year packed up her stuff and left the common room in a huff.
"Another enemy for your list, Bella! Gees, dating Sirius isn't as great as you thought it would be."
"Yeah, and you know from experience, doncha Lils!"
"UGH! ONE date, that's all...talk about a nightmare." Jessabelle and Arabella laughed at Lily's despair. "And plus that was in Fifth Year."
"Alright enough boy talk. I wonder how the boys are going."
"Nice way to contradict yourself Bella."
"Oh, screw you!" Arabella mimicked the sixth year from before sending the girls laughing again.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"You boys don't look too healthy!" Arabella said a little louder than she needed to as the Marauders sat down to breakfast.
"Oww...Do you need to be so loud, Belle?" Sirius whined.
"Do you have a hangover, Sirius?" Lily asked innocently.
"Hangover? From what...we don't have anything to dri- Oh, yeah, God I'm so tired I don't know what I'm saying."
"Smooth, Padfoot. Real smooth." James said amused.
"Shutup, Jamsie-poo." James groaned.
"Don't start, Padfoot."
"JAMSIE-POO! Where are you?" a high-pitched voice yelled over the Great Hall.
"Quick! Hide me...I need to escape!" James ducked down under the table.
"Have any of you seen my Jamsie-poo?"The owner of the voice came over and asked them.
"I think he went looking for you, Sarie-poo!" Sirius replied in an overly cheerful voice.
"You're so adorable, Siri." She pinched his cheek and walked out of the Great Hall singing. James popped his head out from under the table.
"She gone?"
"Smooth, Prongs. Real smooth." Sirius grinned.
"Shutup before I make you." James said as he sat back down, a scowl on his face.
"Prongsie here is being courted by the lovely Miss Sarah Parker. Although I don't think he returns her feelings. The poor disillusioned girl."
"Courted? Doesn't that mean she wants to marry you?" Lily asked Sirius. James was looking very angrily at his plate.
"And I quote," Sirius turned to James, "Jamsie-poo!" he giggled, "Mummies said that it would be absolutely fabulous if we were to marry. So, like, I was wondering," Sirius giggled again and then continued on, "When do you want to propose? How about a July marriage, I would say June but I don't think we should get married while we're still at school. So...?" Sirius batted his eyelashes at James. Half the Gryffindor table were laughing at poor James.
"Oh, James. What did you do?" Arabella asked him.
"He ran!" Sirius replied for him.
"As fast as I bloody could! Oh, shit guys. Does the hall seem a bit quiet to you?"
"We're all late! SIRIUS!" There was a mad stampede for the door and the Gryffindors that had stayed and listened to Sirius' story ran as fast as they could to their classes.
"We're already late, what's another 10 minutes?" Remus said sauntering along, the rest following his lead. It turned out another 10 minutes warranted a detention in Professor McGonnagal's opinion.
"20 MINUTES LATE! THAT'S PRATICALLY HALF MY CLASS! THE HEAD BOY AND HEAD GIRL AS WELL! I'm extremely disappointed in you two, not to mention the rest of you." She lowered her voice at the end, which was more effective then yelling at them. Lily and James couldn't meet the Professor's eyes. "Sit down all of you, I will have your detentions ready by the end of the class. In the meantime, you can study chapter 10 of your books, we will put it into practical use next lesson. That is if you bother to turn up on time."
Nobody spoke a word the whole time and as they walked out of the classroom they were still pretty quiet.
"Have you ever been put on a guilt trip like that before?" Sirius asked, breaking the silence as the walked to Herbology.
"I wonder how the rest of them went." Remus said, referring to the rest of the Gryffindors who would have been late as well.
"Probably not as badly as they RAN!" Arabella looked pointedly at Remus. Remus grinned sheepishly.
"Kill Remus!" Sirius yelled chasing Remus outside with Arabella, Peter and Jessabelle following closely behind.
"Are you okay, Lils?" James asked her as everyone ran off.
"Hmm? Oh, yeah I'm fine." Lily replied cheerily.
"You've had a detention before, Lils."
"Not while I've been Head Girl." Lily ran off to catch up with the rest of their group leaving James to walk by himself.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"This is so megally unfair. I bet those stupid Slytherins made this mess on purpose." Arabella complained as she scrubbed the dirty potions room floor.
"Ha! My guess is this is what it always looks like after they've been in here for an hour. I mean those dirty, disgusting Slytherins will make this sort of mess just by sitting in a room. Do I need to list examples?" Jessabelle looked at all of them as they stared at her in amazement. Remus was the first to start laughing. "What?" Jessabelle asked grinning at them. Mcgonnagal had assigned the potions teacher to supervise them for their detention but he had been called away by Madame Pomfrey for some emergency.
"You're always surprising us Jess. Who knew that your innocent little mind could think of insults worthy of a Marauder?" Sirius grinned.
"Just the tip of the iceberg, my young friend." She replied.
"Lils, you're awfully quiet." Arabella remarked.
"Just thinking." She answered.
"Must hurt." Remus laughed. Lily threw her dirty sponge at him. "Bad mistake Lils. I'll get you my pretty." He cackled.
"Have you been watching The Wizard From Oz?" Arabella asked him.
"Yeah, I have a T.V. in my room..." Arabella stuck her tongue out at him. "Nah but I have seen it."
"Where's Oz...and what's a T.V.?" Sirius was looking very confused. The others just laughed at him. While James was explaining to Sirius what everyone was laughing about, Remus had crept up behind Lily with his bucket of dirty water in his hands. Just as she spun around, he dumped the whole lot on her head. The whole room went silent waiting for Lily's reaction. She sat there in shock for a minute before grabbing her own bucket and throwing the contents up at his face. Thus started a water fight that flooded the potions room and landed the whole lot of them another detention for the next night.
