Chapter Two

Lily breezed through her classes, and the prefects meeting that day, she was now in the Common Room with Arabella. They were discussing their Divination homework when they were rudely interrupted by a group 3rd years coming in from dinner.

"Well, that's it for Divination." Arabella frowned. Divination was her favourite subject.

"Oh well, Divination isn't my thing." Lily said turning to the second group of first years that came through the portrait hole, "could you PLEASE be quiet, there are people trying to work!" The noise in the Common Room returned to a low murmur and thankfully stayed that way.

"So Lils, you're in charge of the Hogsmeade trips, right?"

"Um, yes, why do you ask 'Bella?"

"Oh, just wondering when we get to go out and get some Honeydukes chocolate, I think my supply is running low."

"Oh!" Lily laughed, "Well I suppose there will be one in a few weeks, Dumbledore needs to finalize the dates, but I'm sure it'll be fine."

"Ok, sounds good to me." Arabella smiled "So Lils, I know you're going to hurt me for saying this, but I was watching you and James today."

Lily raised an eyebrow as if to say, go on.

'Well you two seem pretty close, and I was wondering what was going on." she trailed off.

"We went over this already but I suppose I can say it again," Lily sighed, "James and I are good friends, and that's all we'll ever be."

"'.and that all we'll ever be.' You make it sound like you want something more out of it."

"I don't want anything more." Lily growled.

"Ok, ok, I believe you, just don't hurt me!" Arabella laughed.

Lily shook her head and pulled out a book to read, just as she finished her first page a few handfuls of Fillbuster Firecrackers rained upon her head. Lily jumped up and turned around just in time to see Sirius and someone else, someone she thought as James, take off into the darkness of the balcony above. Lily shook her head and started up the stairs to get them.

"Sirius, I know you here!' she yelled.

No response.

"Sirius you bloody git, I saw you! Get out here now!"

Still no response, but the floor behind Lily creaked. She turned on her heel to catch whoever it was but no one was there. Lily just rolled her eyes and resumed her reading on the couch in front of the fireplace.

**** "That was great Padfoot! Did you see the look on her face?" James asked excitedly.

"Yea, it was hilarious, but we're in for it when she sees us again!" Sirius replied opening the door to their dormitory.

James removed the Invisibility Cloak from both of them, folded it and returned it to its proper place in James's trunk.

Remus was sitting up in his bed reading yet another Defense Against the Dark Arts book, his gray eyes scanning the page quickly before going on to the next.

"Oi Moony, you should of come along, it was hilarious." Sirius said sitting down on the end of his bed.

"I heard, but I'd rather stay here, I'm not feeling too good. Tomorrow is the Full Moon, we're going to have to leave right after classes." Remus stated, still reading his book.

"Ok, we should probably get packing though. It would be better if we could leave as soon as possible." James said, "We wouldn't want Moony transforming on us have way to the Shrieking Shack."

Sirius walked to the foot of his bed and opened his trunk. He started grabbing random clothing and putting it in a bag.

Just then Peter rushed in the door, slammed it behind him and leaned up against it. His blonde hair was stuck to his forehead with sweat. "Ok you bloody gits, who was the one who threw firecrackers at Lily?"

Both James and Sirius smirked and turned back to what they were doing. Remus finally looked up from his book to see what the problem was.

"You gits! Lily is fuming, she threatened to put me under a stupefy curse because she thought it was me. You might never want to leave this room! She may kill you." Peter said doubling over trying to catch his breath.

Sirius and James both laughed at this. Sirius was laughing to the point were he fell over, and James sat down on his trunk. Remus rolled his eyes and got up, "I suppose I'll go apologize for the actions of you gits."

****

Remus made his way into the Common Room, he could see Lily talking angrily to Arabella on the couch.

"Hey," he said sitting down on the table in from of them.

Lily glared at Remus, "If you came to laugh at me I swear..."

Remus cut her off, "I didn't, don't worry. I came to apologize for the actions of my idiot room mates."

"Right, and you had nothing to do with this?" She asked.

"Nothing at all Lily, I swear. I was reading the new Defense Against Dark Arts books that the library had."

"Ok, no need to explain, I believe you, but honestly. I'm going to put a stupefy curse on those gits."

"No need to put one on Peter, he wasn't here all evening, and I think you scared him enough already," Remus smiled.

"Well for all I knew he could been one of the culprits in this little 'game.'"

"Too true Lily, but it was Sirius and James, and I give you full permission to hurt them." Remus smiled, "but I think it should wait till tomorrow, it is getting late."

"Ok, I'll talk to you later then Remus."

"You too Lily."

A.N. That was it for now, I couldn't exactly figure out how to continue it from there, so I just left it as is. Hope you liked it, I should have another chapter up really soon.
