A/N I have no internet and nothing to do that's why I'm writing this
chapter for you (it rhymes and it's true!)
Sometimes Bad leads to Good
Chapter Four: Midnight Snack
Lily and James were hugging each other for a couple of minutes and then, rather embarrassed, let go.
"Well, I'm off to bed now." Lily said.
"Me too, good night." James said.
"Night" Lily said and they both went up each to his bed.
Lily opened the door and was surprised to see Lana sitting on her bed looking perfectly awake.
"Hey, aren't you supposed to be 'dead tired'?" She asked her.
"Didn't you get the message Lily?"
"What massage?"
"I only said I was tired because I wanted to have a privet talk with you!"
"Oh..." Lily suddenly understood "Sorry, I'm not so normal and sane in 12 o'clock in the night."
"That's ok..." Lana said "Can we talk now?"
"Of course" Lily replied.
She knew Lana from first year and since then they became best friends.
They knew each other almost like they knew themselves, and that meant a lot!
"You don't really have to answer, but what's going with you and James?"
Lily was confused "What do you mean?"
"Well, nobody just invites someone to join him to breakfast with no reason, do they?!"
Lily thought a bit before answering, it was quite complicated to explain, and she didn't think she was aloud to share all of their conversation with someone else.
"Last night I couldn't really sleep so I went to 'explore' the castle a bit. We met and started talking. We found out we had stuff in common and that's basically all."
"Oh... And are you like together?"
"No!" Lily, didn't expected that at all, "We're just friends, that's all."
"If you say so..." Lana said with a serious ton, but her eyes had a naughty look.
"Lana!"
But Lana just smiled mischievously and went to sleep.
Lily went to bed too and hoped that by the morning Lana would stop this nonsense.
On the next morning James, unlike normal teenagers who slept till noon, had to get up at 7 and get to Quidditch practice.
Near the end of the practice Remus, Sirius and Peter came to the Quidditch pitch to watch James.
After the practice ended they all walked together to lunch.
"So Prongs, are you and Lily boyfriend and girlfriend or something?" Asked Peter.
"Yes, what's going on with you two?" Remus asked.
"Like I told Padfoot there, we are only friends!" James, said a bit angrily.
Why does everybody think they are together?
"Or so he claims!" Sirius said, his eyes twinkling.
"Padfoot!!!" James shouted.
"Just kidding!" Sirius said, trying to run out of James's reach, which was chasing him like crazy with Peter and Remus laughing in the background.
After relaxing a bit they went to the great hall to see that Lana and Lily were already saving them seat.
They sat down and started eating.
"So what should we do now?" Remus asked the others.
"We can go visit Hagrid." James said.
"Ok." They all nodded.
"As long as we won't need to help him with was of his 'pets'!" Sirius said and they all laughed and headed to Hagrid's hut.
They knocked on the door and were quickly greeted by the enormous man.
"Hallo there! Come in come in I just baked a few rock cakes!" Hagrid greeted them.
They all walked in and sat in the giant sofa and armchairs.
"Hallo Hagrid, how are you?" Lily asked.
"Jus' fine!" Hagrid said.
Suddenly some barks were heard from a box in the corner of the hut.
They all exchanged terrified looks.
"Er, Hagrid, what's in there?" Remus asked while Sirius came near the box and knocked on it.
A few barks came in return.
"Oh, it's just a sweet pet I got last week!" Hagrid said happily.
Again terrified looks were exchanged.
Hagrid came near the box and they were all ready to jump out in any second when Hagrid pulled the cutest black dog they have ever seen.
"Oh! It's so adorable!" Lana cried and Lily took the dog from Hagrid's hands and started petting him.
Soon everybody were gathered around the dog.
"I've decided to call him Fang" Hagrid said.
"Now, all you're missing is a dragon!" Peter said.
"I'll get one of these one day too." Hagrid said and they all laughed.
They spent the rest of the day talking about classes, Quidditch and other stuff.
In bed again Lily only managed to say: "It has been a great day!" and fell straight asleep.
Lily felt she just fell asleep when she felt someone awaking her up.
"5 more minutes Lana." She mumbled and heard someone laughing.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw James leaning over her.
"Wake up Lily." He said.
"Why?" she complained.
"Because!" He said and pulled her out of bed "We're going to the kitchens for a midnight snack!" She was up immediately.
She looked around her and saw Peter, Remus standing near the door looking wide-awake and Sirius trying to awake Lana, who was mumbling in a strange way: "Is it morning already?" but was soon also awake after hearing Sirius explanation.
"We are going to sneak under my invisibility clock to the kitchens ok?" James asked quietly and they all nodded.
They all covered themselves with the clock. (A/N they cast a spell to make it big enough to cover all of them!)
And as silently as they could they sneaked down to the kitchens.
Sirius tickled the painted pear and they were in.
They all sat down and a second later came a sweet female house elf.
"Are the Marauders and their friends here for something to eat?" Asked the house elf.
"Why yes Silky! It will be very nice!!!" Peter said and the elf bowed and quickly left.
"So you visit here a lot?" Lily asked James while the elves were starting to hand delicious caked and cookies.
"Oh yes!" James said.
"These elves seem so nice!" Lana said.
"They are!" Remus replied.
"Especially when you need some food!" Sirius said.
"My favorite!" Lana cried when she reached the strawberries and the sugar. (A/N Its sooooooo good!!! :))
"Mine too!!!" Remus said and they both started digging the bowl.
In the mean time Lily was taking care of the whipped cream.
She loved it so much.
Suddenly she saw James dealing with the chocolate cake and a mischievous idea came to her head.
"Hey James!" She yelled and threw a handful of cream at his face.
Bull's eye!
At first he looked shock and slowly took of his glasses and cleaned them.
He sat down and suddenly -
"Take this Lily!" He threw a piece of the chocolate cake at her.
"FOOD FIGHT!!!" Sirius yelled and threw some cakes in the air.
Soon eating was forgotten and they all were full of food from head to tow.
Remus stuck almost a whole cake at Peter's face and Sirius was giving Lana a hair treatment with the cheesecake while Lily had her revenge on James.
James jumped on the table and yelled: "I'm the king of food fight!!!"
At this everyone stopped and yelled together at him: "NEVER!!!" and all the food was thrown at him.
They all started laughing, James the most, standing in the middle of the table looking like a food mountain.
A/N that was a really nice chapter, don't you think? It's been fun to write, especially the food fight part. That part is similar to the scene in the Peter Pen movie 'Hook' with Robin Williams where they have this totally cool food fight with the imaginary food that becomes real (ah. the power of the imagination!!!). I really like this movie.
