Chapter seven
Sharon, Sirius and Remus were giggling about the newest book that had toped the charts: Holidays with Hags, by Gilderoy Lockhart. Peter was reviewing a report and Lily and James were sending looks at each other, trying not to be noticed.
But Sirius," Sharon argued, "He is amazing! He deserves all this attention! To think he saved all of Northern Africa from that horrid hag-"
"He's making it up!" Sirius disagreed, "Or soooooooooooo exaggerating. I think-"
"He's thinking! Now there's a new one!"
"I passed with flying colours, thank you very much!"
"Why don't we play a game?" suggested Remus quietly.
"Like what?" asked James.
"Well, someone asks a question, and everyone answers. Truthfully." he added, to avoid any misunderstandings.
"Like truth or dare just that we only have truth," said Lily. Everyone looked puzzled, and Sirius scratched his head.
"Nothing." she muttered, "Just a muggle game."
"Can I ask the question? Can I? Please!" shouted Sirius.
"If you stop acting like a baby!" said Sharon.
"OK, what are your pyjamas like?" he asked, looking smugly at Remus, who had fallen back against the couch. "Sharon, start."
"Ok, I wear a white Tee- shirt and a light blue pair of pants. Sirius?"
"I wear red and blue striped PJ's. Remus?" He was grinning broadly at him. Remus blushed and looked at his knees. "A pair of Susie's stockings and a Tee-shirt she bought me." He knew it was no use lying. The others would tell anyway. "Lily?"
"I have a nightgown made out of the sheet my mother died on." Everyone looked sadly at Lily. They all knew how much Lily's mother meant to her. "Go on Peter."
"Green velvet pyjamas. James?"
Remus piped in, determent to embarrass someone. "He wears his old Hogwarts Quidditch robes."
And that small conversation made Lily and James blush like the sun.
Lily stared at her muggle computer. Dream, dream, what rhymes with dream? Mean? Team? Cream?
Because Lily was going to try and find out for certain whether her dream was real. Or not.
" And now, Lillllllllllllllllllllly EvansThe crowds went wild. Lily took a big breath. 'This is it. The big one,' she thought. She put on a big fake smile and stepped onto the stage. The music blasted. Lily started.
"Last night I had a dream,
As crazy as it may seem,
That you were by my side
And said you loved me.
And now you avoid my eye
when you are walking by,
So I just wanna know
If it's true."
Lily was staring straight at James, watching his expression very carefully. James knew this song was made for him. He sighed. He turned and caught Sirius's arm and pulled him out to the lobby.
I would like to thank my beta reader, who almost rewrote the damn thing herself, except in blue. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although I don't thank her for calling me evil.
