A/N: This is kind of a filler chapter but have no fear, chapter 3 will be
satisfying.
Before reaching the hall, James pulled Lily aside so he could remind her about the Prefect meeting.
"Oh! I forgot! We'd better hurry!" she yelled in a panicked voice as she started dashing toward the Transfiguration Classroom. James gave a wink at the Marauders that had to stay back and rushed off to catch up with Lily.
They came to a halt in front of the Transfiguration classroom and came in. Dumbledore was sitting pleasantly in chair and said, "Welcome you two. Take your seats please." They immediately took a seat and Dumbledore started speaking, "I hope you've all had a wonderful summer! This will be a brief meeting, let's start off with..."
James didn't hear much after that, he was leaning on his desk, staring at a very focused Lily.
"Ahem. Mr.Potter, I daresay that you've been focusing on something else," said Dumbledore slightly lowering his glasses. He grinned and Lily gave a confused look. Dumbledore continued to talk.
A few moments later, they were dismissed and they headed back to the Great Hall, where they found the three Marauders fighting again. Lily and James walked towards the Marauders and smiled.
"Why hello Lily! May I walk you into the Great Hall?" said Remus while bowing, but before Lily could respond Sirius popped in.
"Why don't we all go together instead?" said Sirius. He smirked at Remus and whispered, "Guess we are all going to the Great Hall together. TOGETHER. Hear that? Isn't that just great?"
"Great! Let's go!" chanted Lily. Just as Remus was grabbing for her right hand, Sirius dodged for it and pushed him aside. Remus huffed and just stood in back of them. Peter tried to make a grab for Lily's other free hand but James slapped his hand before he could reach it and grabbed it himself. Seeing this, Peter and Remus each stuck out a foot in front of James and Sirius, making them both trip. Then they gracefully stepped on and over them and reached for Lily's now 2 free hands.
Lily's eyes widened and looked surprised. She tried to stifle the outbursting giggles. There they were, Sirius and James, flat on their faces with a look of disgust on their faces. Once they were seated, new students were sorted, and Dumbledore spoke, the food appeared, and then started more fun.
"Look Lily. Here's some steak," offered James.
"No James. She doesn't want STEAK. She wants mashed potatoes. Here you go Lily," said Sirius venomously.
Sirius pushed the steak towards James roughly and elbowed the gravy to spill on him. "Oops sorry James. You know mistakes happen." said Sirius smiling.
James was fuming and said, "I'll show you mistake!"
He deliberately took mashed potatoes and threw it at Sirius. Sirius ducked quickly to miss the flying potato but it hit Peter.
"I really don't want to be in this," said Remus calmly. With that comment Sirius ,James , and Peter threw what was on their plates to Remus' face.
And that started the war. "Maybe some peas with the mashed potatoes would be a delight!" yelled Remus. He levitated the bowls of peas over the other three Marauder's head and then let them fall. Unfortunately, Sirius used a blocking spell, which caused all of his peas to reflect to the rest of the Great Hall. Now every student in the Hall had peas on their foreheads.
"FOOD FIGHT!" a Slytherin cried and all the students started throwing food at one another. Even Dumbledore was tossing a few pieces of corn at Professor McGonagall.
"This is for losing Mr. MooMoo! This is for breaking my finger! And this is for setting Dumgbombs near me!!" screamed James while throwing corn toward Sirius at each statement.
This went on until the end of dinner, which was about 5 minutes later because most of the food was on the floor by then.
"Great! Now I've got pumpkin juice in my hair, peas up my nose, and corn in my ears!" Peter whined as they made their way up to Gryffindor Tower.
"Shut up fatty," the other three said at once.
"Shutting..." he whispered.
"This would of never happened if Mr.I-know-better-than-anyone-else here started the food fight. We wouldn't of gotten detention!" yelled Sirius.
"Well it's not my fault that you had a bad temper and had to retaliate! You should of known better!" retorted James. He then took a few moments to think of what he just said. "Wait! YOU started it!"
Sirius gave a smirk and said, "Yeah, I did didn't I? HA I love myself!"

"Its cold over there, sit here with me Lily," Remus said as he lightly tugged oh her robes.
"NO! OVER HERE!!" Peter squealed like a little girl as he yanked at her foot.
"Oh hey James! You can always sit by me," said Sirius winking at James.
"Sirius, stop it. You're scaring Lily," James said looking horrified.
"You know you like it."
Lily decided she was tired and went off to bed. After 5 minutes of repeated goodnights from the Marauders, she was finally free to go to her dormitory. The Marauders now sat by themselves in the Common Room, bickering over who would date Lily when.
"I call her first!" Sirius yelled.
"No I do!" Peter squeaked.
"No me!"
"Me!"
"NO ME!" Sirius was now jumping up and down on the sofa.
"STOP! There's only one MATURE way to settle this! Rock, Paper, Scissor competition! Remus with Peter, Me with Sirius. Two out of three wins and goes to next competitor. GO!" James screamed.
A moment later, it was down between Remus and James. Then Remus won so he got the first date on Monday. Followed by James on Tuesday, Sirius on Wednesday, and Peter was last so the other three decided he shouldn't be allowed to date. They then went to bed, each thinking of the best date to take Lily on.
