James and Sirius walked back into James's room. Lily must had run to her house quickly to get a pair of shorts and a shirt because she had her sporty look back. She was sitting on the floor playing cards with Remus and Peter.
"What are you guys playing?" asked James, sitting down between Remus and Lily. Sirius sat between Lily and Peter.
"21, Black Jack, whatever it is you wanna call it. Lily is good. She's better than Remus." Peter said.
"Peter, hate to break it to you but when you already have 20, usually you want to stay. Especially when your opponent has 19." Lily said.
"I thought you wanted to get over 21." said Peter. Remus rolled his eyes.
"It's called 21 because you want to get as close as possible to 21 with out going over you dufus. Even Sirius knew that one." said Remus. Sirius puffed his chest out proudly.
"Hey guys." came an annoying voice from the doorway. Everybody burst out laughing except Peter.
"Petunia, two words of advice. Go-away." Lily said coolly.
"Lily, two words of advice. Bite-me." Petunia replied.
"Cat fight." muttered Sirius.
"Uh…who is that?" Peter whispered to James, obviously frightened.
"She's a smerf." said James. The guys laughed.
"Petunia, why are you hear anyway?" asked Lily.
"Well I saw your cute little friend and I'd thought I'd introduce myself." said Petunia, going up to Sirius.
"Help me." he mouthed to Lily.
"Petunia, as much as you may dream about actually having a boyfriend, it's never going to happen." Lily said, getting annoyed with her sister's attitude.
"Shove off Lily." said Petunia. She then did the unexpected. She kissed Sirius on the lips. The guys laughed (except Sirius of course who shoved Petunia off him).
"Sorry, Smerfs aren't my type." he said to Petunia, who was glaring at Lily.
"You brainwashed them you little witch." said Petunia.
"No, they just have common sense and yes, I am a witch no shoo before I turn you into a frog. Hocus Pocus, Abracadabra." Lily teased. Petunia ran out of the room, screaming. The guys were still laughing. Sirius was spitting and wiping his lips.
"EWWW! Now I'm going to have to disinfect my mouth." Sirius whined.
"Poor you." the 3 boys chorused.
"Shut up." spat Sirius.
Lily tossed the card box onto the bed. "I'm too hyper to play cards. Lets go do something fun."
Sirius smiled evilly and looked at James. James returned the grin.
"Pranks." they said together.
"On who?" Peter asked.
"Well there is a muggle restaurant through the woods, I go there a lot. We can play some tricks on a few muggles." said James.
"Not exactly what I had in mind." said Lily.
"Well, Miss 'I-Want-To-Do-Something-Fun-But-It's-My-Way-Or-The- Highway', what is your idea?" asked Sirius. Lily playfully smacked him upside the head.
"I don't know but maybe we-" Lily was interrupted by a squeel from the doorway.
"James! Oh I missed you so much!" Lily saw a blonde haired girl, about her age and height, rush over to James and give him a hug.
"Beth…wow. I didn't expect to see you here." said James, and he sounded like he wasn't pleased to see her.
"Your mom said she was having a party and I was invited. Hi guys. You must be Lily. I've seen you around school. I'm Beth Hardisty." said the girl. Lily looked at James who was just looking at the floor.
"Hello Beth. You must be James's girlfriend. I've heard so much about you." she said. She knew James hadn't broke up with Beth the moment he was hugged by her.
"I hope they were good things." she shot a glare at Sirius.
"Oh yes. Wonderful. Hey, now that we have 6 people how about some Quidditch?" Lily said. Everybody agreed. James grabbed some brooms.
"We'll just play with the quaffle. Two chasers and a keeper. Since Sirius and I are on the team we will be captains." James proclaimed.
"I pick first." said Sirius. James nodded his approval. "I pick Lily." Lily grinned.
"I figured you would want to play against James." he whispered in Lily's ear. They picked everybody else. Here were the teams.
James [C] Sirius [C]
Beth [C] Lily [C]
Peter [K] Remus [K]
"Let's play." Sirius shouted and tossed up the quaffle. Lily grabbed it and wooshed by James. Beth moved in front of Lily, causing her to have to stop in mid air. James then came up behind Lily and made a grab for the quaffle but Lily passed it to Sirius before he could catch it.
"You'll have to try harder than that Potter." she spat. James stared at her in shock. She had just stopped him form getting the quaffle…and he was the best Chaser on the House team. Sirius scored.
"Way to go Sirius!" Remus called from the posts at the other end of the field. Sirius gave Lily a high five and flew over to Remus.
"It's about to get rough between Lily and James." he said.
James had grabbed the quaffle and was flying down the field. Lily knocked into him, causing him to drop the quaffle. Sirius caught it and scored.
"Oops. My bad." Lily said to James. The game continued like that and the score ended 80-10.
"Tsk tsk. I guess your not all that Potter." said Lily.
"Shut up Evans." replied James. Lily walked up to James and was nearly inches from his face.
"What did you say to me?" she asked.
"I told you to shut up. Got a problem with that?" James said coolly.
"Yeah I do."
"What are you going to do about it?"
Lily and James continued to bicker, everybody else watching in amusement, except Beth who tried to stop it…but only made it worse.
"James, just leave her alone." said Beth.
"Stay out of this." Lily snapped at Beth.
"Don't talk to her like that you stupid mudblood!" shouted James.
"How dare you!" Lily shrieked and slapped James with full force. She ran off. Sirius and Remus were furious.
"Who do you think you are? Your turning into a friggen Slytherin!" Sirius said to his best friend.
"Stay out of this." spat James.
"No. I'm not going to stay out of this. She ahs every right to hate you. First, you lie to her about breaking up with Beth and then you call her a mudblood. She gets enough crap from those Slytherins let alone from you." Sirius said in a deadly voice.
"How would you know what she's been through?! You just met her today!" James said.
"That's what you think. I know more about her than you ever will. Especially if you continue at this rate." said Sirius. He ran off after Lily. Remus than confronted James.
"Beth, can I talk to James alone?" asked Remus in a relatively calm voice.
"Sure." she said and she walked over to talk to Peter.
"You have some nerve." Remus began to walk with James. Emus didn't sound mean or rude but just…calm.
"I know." he said with a heavy sigh.
"I'd let her be for a while." advised Remus. James nodded. The began to walk back to where Peter and Beth were.
"One question though." James blurted out.
"What?" asked Remus.
"How would Sirius know her so well?" said James.
"Who knows. I mean, this is Sirius we are talking about." said Remus.
*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*
Sirius found Lily in the front yard, skipping rocks across the road.
"Lily, I need to talk to you about something." said Sirius. Lily wiped her eyes.
"Sit down." she said. Sirius sat down on the side walk with Lily.
"What's up?" she asked, still skipping rocks.
"Look. You can't tell anybody what I'm about to tell you okay?" Sirius looked around to make sure no one was watching. Lily looked at him.
"I promise. What is it?"
"Your mom. She disappears every other weekend doesn't she? Says she going to her sisters or to a friends or has to work over night?" said Sirius.
"Yes, she does. Why?" Sirius took a deep sigh.
"I'm your half brother." he said to her.
"H-h-how?" she asked.
"Your mum is my mum. We just have different dads. I'm not going to launch into the history now because it's not a nice story but I just wanted you to know and that every home video there is of you, I've seen it." Sirius joked. Lily gave him a hug, tears of happiness running down her cheeks. She then burst out laughing.
"Oh my god. If your related to me than your related to Petunia and Petunia kissed you…on the lips!" Lily laughed.
"Why do you think I was so grossed out. I've known for a while." said Sirius. Lily gave him another hug.
*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*
As the clock chimed 10, all the kids were ready for bed (except Lily and James) but the adults were still up and about. They turned on a movie and everybody fell asleep. Lily absolutely loved the movie they were watching. It was Grease.
"We should do that." said James.
"Do what?" she asked. She was a little nicer to James but there was still a lot of tension. James was one of those guys that would have to do something really really mean to stay mad at.
"Do a play. Like Grease." said James.
"That's it!" said Lily. "Remember, Professor Dumbledore was saying that this year the Prefects are allowed to organize some sort of special class. We can teach theatre. I took a summer class for 3 years."
"Perfect. And at the end of the year we can put on a musical." said James. Lily and James began planning a bunch of different ideas. Lily went to go restart the movie for about the 5th time.
"Lily?" James said as she began to rewind it.
"What?" she asked.
"I'm sorry." He truly did look it.
"I know you are." said Lily. She sat back down on the couch.
"Than will you please forgive me." James pleaded.
"I don't know." she said. He sighed. They continued planning until the song "Summer Lovin" started.
"Sing with me Lily." said James, getting up and beginning to sing. Lily grinned. As Sandy's part started Lily began to sing. They didn't know that the others were silently watching.
"Summer lovin had me a blast." James sung.
"Summer lovin happened so fast." Lily sung.
As the song ended, the two just smiled at each other.
"You have a good voice." Lily said to James.
"Same to you." said James. She just smiled at him, the smile that made him melt inside, that made him forget everything. He had only known her for 2 days and she was already perfect.
"I forgive you." Lily said. James smiled. It wasn't his normal, cheezy smirk, but an actual smile. Beth was silently watching, realizing that she was never going to be able to have the same spark with James. Slowly, the two moved closer to each other. James put his arms around Lily's waist and kissed her. She put her hands around his neck and kissed him back. Beth cleared her throat.

A/N: Thanks to my first reviewer, DancinCheerChick! I know this one isn't as long but I was eager to put it up. I know it may seem a little…cheezy but for some odd reason I love the idea of doing Grease, mainly because I love the movie (I'm watching it now) and I'm sure you guys can all guess who plays who, or at least who plays the main roles. J
Much love,
SexyDMalfoyGirl (Ya' all can call me Ash)
