Saturday Morning Cartoons, French, and Snow Tag

"Wake up!" a voice whispered. Rose moaned.

"Ten more minutes mum," she mumbled.

"I am not mum!" the voice said. A hand, that presumably belonged to the same person as the voice had, shook her.

"I told you Lily, it's the summer, we sleep in," Rose told her and tried to go back to sleep.

"What if it's not summer?" Lily asked her.

"Then how did you get in here?"

"I have a better questions, why are you and Rachel in the boys' dorms?"

"Answer my question first and I'll answer yours."

"Well, I got the password from prefect privileges and I'm here because it's Saturday. Remember? We got Rachel to transfigure an extra desk into a TV so we could watch cartoons. It's in that room with the potion. Come on. And answer my question," Lily commanded.

"We were having a sleepover," Rose commented. She rose and slipped some pants over the boxer shorts she was wearing.

"What's going on?" someone asked from one of the beds. A messy head of brown hair rose above the covers and peaked out.

"They're going to go watch cartoons, go back to sleep," a calmer, more tired voice mumbled.

"Cartoons?!" Sirius shouted with enthusiasm. "I wanna watch too!" Sirius got up and started jumping from bed to bed, not caring if the bed was occupied.

"Sirius!" James yelled. He tackled his friend and pinned him to the floor.

"Now that you're up," Rachel said rising from where she had been lying down on the floor, "let's go watch some Tom and Jerry."

"Yay!" Sirius cried.

"Arg," was the universal reply from both James and Remus.

"Why are you people up," Peter muttered in his sleep, "it's ten o'clock.

"Is he asleep?" Lily asked cautiously.

"Yes," Remus replied. "He has an amazing sense of time." It was indeed ten o'clock.

"How about after cartoons we play tag on our brooms. There's snow outside so if we fall we will be ok," James suggested.

"There's snow?" Rose asked.

"It snowed last night, started around three in the morning," Peter mumbled again.

"He's good," Rachel said. "Shall we be on our way? And should we wake sleeping beauty?"

"Nah, he'll be moody unless we let him sleep till three. I would rather not deal with a moody Peter," James informed the group."

"Moi aussi," Lily agreed.

"What?" Sirius asked.

"Tu ne comprends pas?" Rose asked.

"What are you guys saying?" Remus asked.

"Vous ne parlez pas Francais? Nous parlons Francais," Lily replied.

"Comment va-tu?" Rose asked her sister.

"Tres bien, et toi?"

"Com ci Com ca. Je veux faire du ski."

"Je veux regarer le tele."

"Nous allons!"

"Faire attention!" Rachel yelled at them. The Marauders who were awake were stunned.

"You speak French?" James asked.

"Of course. Our mother is French and made sure we knew the language. Her nickname around the neighborhood is the Good French Lady," Rose informed them.

"I didn't know you lived in France," Sirius said. "Teach me!"

After many discussions about who was to be sympathized with, Tom or Jerry, the group made their way outside into the snow.

"Accido brooms!" Lily called. With that James', Sirius', Remus', Rose's and several school brooms flew toward them. They all caught their respective brooms. This display of charms strength won a whistle from James and a "bloody brilliant," from Sirius.

"Teams?" Remus asked as he mounted.

"Nah, every person for themselves," Rose laughed as she rose into the air. Soon everyone was in the air. Sirius did a daring maneuver and swept down toward the ground. He pulled up at the last minute in a sweep, catching snow in his cloak. He proceeded to dump the snow he had picked up on the nearest person, Rose. Rose shrieked with laughter.

"Lily! Help me!" she cried.

"Sorry sis, you're on your own," Lily told her and went back to creaming James and Remus with snowballs.

"I'll help you get James and Remus if you help me get Sirius," Rose negotiated.

"We might need help. Rachel, want in?" Lily asked her sister's friend. Rachel nodded solemnly. What followed this allegiance was one of the biggest, most horrible boys versus girls snowball fight that has ever taken place. Its ferocity has yet to be topped. For all of you who wish to know, the girls managed to get the boys to surrender before things got bloody. As they were celebrating their victory, they were assaulted by another attack.

"Unfair!" Rose shouted. "You gave up!" She tackled the closest person to her, Sirius, causing him to fall on James, who fell on Remus. Lily burst out laughing. It was a dog pile like no other and poor Remus was turning blue from lack of air.

"Rose, Sirius, James, will you kindly get off me," Remus croaked.

"Are your eyes supposed to be bulging like that?" Sirius asked. He made no move to get off. James shoved his way up and fell onto Lily and Rachel.

James looked down at Lily. He was on top of her because of a failed attempt to stand up. She had really pretty green eyes. 'You like Rose,' he told himself. He quickly put that thought out of his mind and just looked at her.

"Yo, Jamie boy, I think Lily and Rachel would like to be able to breathe," Sirius commented.

"I think my back is out," James complained dramatically.

"Old age?" Remus asked as he helped James up.

"Right on the nail old boy," James replied.

"Aye, I feel it too. Feel it in my bones. Not as young as I used to be. Never going to be in my prime again," Sirius said in his best old man voice. Remus, James and Sirius all started to walk around using their brooms as walking sticks.

"Old chap," James said hitting Sirius on the back, "I think the weather is getting to me, let's go in for a cup of Earl Grey."

"Good idea," Sirius replied in a cultured accent.

"Cheerio darlings, we must be making our way back to the common room," Remus said linking his arms with James and Sirius. The girls burst out laughing as soon as they were out of sight.

A/N I only wrote some French because I'm not taking it next year so I might as well use it for something. I know the grammar might not be correct. Anyway, I'm going to keep hinting at L/J, but nothing is going to happen till seventh year. (It's currently the middle of fifth) so if you guys want, I'll write a Sisters Speak chapter and than go on to seventh year. If you think I should do the next two years, I'll try. I just can't think of events to include.
