The carriages came and they rode to Hogwarts. When they arrived there, the Marauders decided work on a new prank and Lily and Minnie decided to work on their weekend homework. Shay and Riley went outside to practice Quidditch by themselves. They were back in about two hours, flustered with the cold wind, and joined Lily and Minnie to work on their homework. Lily and Minnie finished with their Transfiguration and DADA homework by the time the guys came in. Minnie decided to go to the Soojin room and talk with her old friends.
"Hey Lily, want to go outside for a little while?" James asked.
"Sure." She said, not having anything to do.
They walked out into the hall. The sharp sunlight burned through a bank of windows and people were swarming out from a fleet of carriages outside. They walked out onto the other side of the school, where the Quidditch field was.
"So Lily. Who do you really want to go to the Mistletoe Ball with?" He asked, hoping to hear, 'I want to go with you James.'
"I don't have a particular someone in mind at the moment." Lily said pointedly.
"Oh." He said. The 'oh' was as round and buoyant as a bubble. "Well, um, same here."
'Damn it. I want to go with him… I don't have a chance. He'll never ask me. Some stupid slut will ask him first and he'll say yes to her.' She thought. Another voice popped in her head. 'Then you ask him!' 'No way. I don't want to ask him! He probably doesn't even like me.' She fought in her head.
"Are you looking forward to it though?" He asked.
"Not really. I mean, it's not like I don't want to go. I never really have fun at balls." She responded.
"So are you going to go?" James said hopefully.
"I guess I'll go if someone asks me." Lily said slowly. 'Gosh. Can you be more obvious…' She thought.
"Hmm…" James said, stopping and leaning on one of the Quidditch goal posts. He brushed the green grass with the bottom of his foot and put his hands in his pocket. He gazed into the grey atmosphere.
"Tell me. Why do you like Quidditch?" Lily asked out of curiosity.
"It's fun. The excitement." He said simply. He felt around in his pocket and pulled out a chocolate frog. He offered it.
Lily shook her head and James instead unwrapped it and popped it his mouth. He sucked on the chocolate and continued.
"It's like the only good magic sport you know. There are no other good ones." He finished.
"I see." Lily said, walking in a circle.
"Hey! I just got the greatest idea!" He shouted, making Lily jump. He swallowed the rest of his chocolate frog before continuing. "Have you ever ridden on a stag?"
~*~*~*~*~
Lily and James barged into the quiet common room, laughing out loud. Lily's usually neat straight red auburn hair now had odd assortments of burrs and leaves in it and James was panting with a pink tinge in his cheeks.
"Wow. Looks like you guys had a… wild time." Sirius said, raising his eyebrows.
Lily stopped laughing and frowned at him.
"I meant. I mean, I didn't mean what you though I meant." He recovered quickly, confused about the way he said it.
"Sure." She said sitting down next to Shay.
"Where were you guys?" She asked.
"Oh, just out." Lily said. "Are you done with homework yet?"
"Of course. It's been," Shay said, checking her watch. "Like three hours since you left. It's almost dinner already."
"Oh!" Lily said. "I'm going to wash up." She said running upstairs.
"Jeez James. What'd you do to her?" Sirius said.
"I gave her a ride." James said.
"YOU WHAT!" Remus yelled, his eyes wide.
"No! No!" James said, shutting his eyes and shaking his head. "You know, I let her ride me…"
Remus, Sirius, and Peter raised their eyebrows and leaned forward.
"Gosh. How can I put this?" James said, cocking his head. "You know, stag, ride like horse?" He said.
"Oh!" Remus said relieved.
"We thought you meant, you know—" Sirius said.
"Yeah, yeah. I know." James cut in. No matter how much he liked Lily, he knew that Lily would never have sex until marriage and didn't want to push that.
Lily ran upstairs and went into her dorm room. She changed her dirty blouse into a fresh white one and walked up to her long narrow mirror. She grabbed her brush and brushed the tangles and little twigs out of her hair. Soon it was in its usual neat straight form. She vigorously scrubbed her face. She put her hand in her make up bag, but drew it out, deciding she didn't want to put any make up on. She grabbed her robe before rushing out and joining the others.
~*~
"There will be two games today Lily. They're Whaler vs. Livingstone and Soojin vs. Denver. Are you going to any of them?" James asked during breakfast the next day.
"I don't know. I guess I'll go to Soojin vs. Denver." She replied, buttering her biscuit.
"All right. I was thinking about going to that one too. I heard Soojin's pretty good." James said, stuffing a piece of bagel in his mouth. "Which one are you guys coming to?"
"Soojin vs. Denver." Remus and Peter said.
"I show school spirit! And this is how McGonagall praise me! Detention!" Sirius complained, attacking his pancake with hard stabs with his fork. A sausage rolled under and flew out of the plate into Lily's hair. It was dripping with maple syrup.
"Eww." She whined, lifting a strand of hair covered in sticky syrup. She tried to wipe it off with a napkin.
"Sorry." Sirius said. "Here." He squirted some water onto his napkin and wiped it out of her hair.
"Thanks." Lily muttered. "I'm going to go to the library and try to get the rest of my homework done." She said, collecting her books.
"I'll come with you." Minnie said, following her. "I have to start on my Divination essay."
"I'll see you in an hour. Me and my friends are going to do something." Remus said.
Minnie and Lily walked slowly to the library, taking the long way around the castle where they could watch the sun beams of each new morning enter the hallway. It was such a bright morning. Lily watched the silent beams of light radiate in the colorful dust motes she had stirred up.
"Who do you think will win the Championships?" Lily asked.
"Hmm… I was thinking about Soojin but now I'm leaning more toward Hogwarts. I was impressed by how they played yesterday. But then it depends on how Soojin plays this afternoon." She said. "How's it going with the Slytherins? Are they still pushing you around?"
"No, not really. They've been kind of ignoring me. I hope they forgot about me. I'm so glad." Lily chuckled to herself. "But I'm regretting that I never really stood up for myself. It was always James, Remus, you or Shay who stood up for me. Thanks."
"You're welcome." Minnie replied. "You like James, don't you?"
"Um, why?" Lily said nervously.
"Just a random guess." She said. "and noticing you were staring at him the whole Quidditch game yesterday. I was sitting on top of the stands."
"Oh well. What does it matter? He doesn't like me back." Lily said, kicking a loose pebble.
"How do you know?" Minnie asked.
"Well, he doesn't show any signs of liking me." Lily said.
"He's really nice to you. You guys spend a lot of time together." Minnie said.
"He's nice to everyone. And we're both prefects, that's why we spend a lot of time together." Lily explained.
"What about yesterday? Remus told me about it." Minnie said, talking about the afternoon.
Lily shrugged as they stepped into the library. They chose a table and started to work on their homework. A few minutes later, Shay and Riley came by, sat down for 10 minutes, decided that they didn't want to do homework, and left. An hour later, they were joined by James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter. However, Remus, Peter, Lily, and Minnie were the only ones doing their homework. James and Sirius were poring over a book called "Hilarious, Heinous Hexes". As nice and friendly as James and Sirius could get, they were mean when it came to pranks.
"James, shouldn't you do any of weekend homework? You worked only a little bit after dinner last night." Lily said, scowling at his blank parchment which had the title 'Social Hierarchy of Modern Muggle Society'.
"Awww. Don't make a fuss Lily. Don't worry. It's due on Tuesday, the day after tomorrow." He said, smiling his lop-sided smile.
"What's the length requirement?" Lily asked, raising her eyebrows.
"Uh, just about three feet." James said. Lily crossed her arm and sighed loudly. "Fine. I'll work on it tonight after the game. I promise." Lily gave an approving smile and returned to her work.
James and Sirius soon left after taking some notes from their book, whispering excitedly. Shay and Riley came back to work. Lily and Minnie got done before all of them and went to the common room to read by the fireplace. The Quidditch game was going to be about half an hour after lunch. Soon enough, lunch came and passed.
