Weekend with the Marauders!

Two sisters stood side by side equally not interested in the conversation that was trying to be held between their parents and themselves. The older sister just rolled her eyes, clearly no interested in hearing the lecture, again. The younger sister held captive by the flashing lights, the music and the smell of Muggle junk food, she would rather be buying some fairy- floss.
"I want you two to stay together, you hear me? If I see either of you off by yourselves I'll." Their worried mother warned. "You just can't trust people around here, especially carnival folk."
"Yes mum," Two sisters replied dryly.
"I want you two to have fun tonight," Their father added, "Just try to get along for Christ sake. Lily's only been home for two weeks."
"Off you go and behave,"
Lily and Petunia sighed, happy to be dismissed from their parents' sides they set out. Lily, who was walking slightly behind her older sister, took in the sights of the Muggle fair. It had indeed been too long since she had spent time in the Muggle world. The lights of the amusement rides and the candy stores caught her eyes causing her to look in every direction.
"You're looking around like you've never seen lights before, Lily. Like you were ten or something." Petunia sneered from in front, never turning to face Lily.
Lily just stared at the bleach blonde hair on the back of her sister's head in disbelief. The only reason she said that was because she was embarrassed by Lily's curiosity; Lily hadn't been to a fair in ages. But she wasn't ten, she was eighteen, she would be starting her last year at Hogwarts in a few short weeks.
Lily doubted she would get her sister onto any of these amusement rides around her, her sister was way to good for that sort of thing. At least her sister thought so. Lily however wasn't too fond of going on the rides by herself either but she knew no one else here. She had been cooped up in a completely different word for six years so the people she did know before she went to Hogwarts probably wouldn't remember her anyway. Not that she would be running into them here; her family was on holiday in a completely different town to the one she and Petunia had grown up in.
At first she thought she would be enjoying the fair going on amusement rides and stuffing her face with corn-dogs and waffles and cream but instead she found herself bored out of her brains in the one place she thought she would defiantly have fun.
. . ** * . .
"I thought this place was meant to be fun James?" Sirius asked, walking along as though had he been given the chance he would fall asleep right then and there on the ground.
James shook his head. "You're not the only one disappointed here. I'd rather fly on my broom you know. These 'amusement' rides aren't very amusing at all."
"I know it was your mum's idea for us to come here to kill time but common, man. This is killing my sense of fun here." Sirius complained. He looked at the strange food in his hand, he liked it, he just wasn't sure what it was. The pink fluffy stuff he had bough just sort of melted in his mouth, it was very sugary and seemed to make up for the lack of enjoyment that this place supplied. "Although the food is good." He added.
"And the chicks. I like how Muggle chicks wear less clothes. Not full length robes but teeny-tiny clothes that cover, like nothing." James added thoughtfully. Sirius snorted, but he had to agree, all the girls their age seemed to be wearing little half shits and tight jeans. They were quiet forward too, which Sirius and James weren't used to because the witches they knew were brought up to let the guy make the first move and to cover their bodies. A few girls had asked the two boys for phone numbers even, and when they said they didn't have one, because they didn't even know what a phone really was the girls got all upissed and stormed off.
The two leaned up against a fence watching the people pass in a mad rush to spend their money in another place. Silently Sirius ate his pink fluffy cloud stuff while James stared up at the big spinning wheel that he had heard someone call a Ferris Wheel. This place was definitely meant for Muggles, he thought. He and Sirius were finding no real amusement in this place, but their were Muggle screams and laughter everywhere form the sheer joy of being on one of those 'amusement' rides. Yawning in boredom he turned and looked at Sirius.
Sirius was smirking as if he had just got the best Idea in the world. "What is it?" James asked in curiosity. Sirius just lifted his arm and pointed at the closest food trailer.
"Evans..."
. . *** . .
"Hurry up Lily," Her sister exclaimed.
Lily shook her head. Her sister was being unbearable. She was thirsty so she was lining up to get a drink but her sister didn't want to wait around. It wasn't like Petunia desperately wanted to see something. No, she was doing this just to annoy Lily. She was thinking of letting people cut into the line just to piss her sister off but then she thought that Petunia would loose the plot; if she hadn't done so already.
"Hey I can't make the line get shorter just for you, you know, no matter how much of a freak you think I am." Lily said with a smirk.
Her sister did think she was a freak. That was nothing new. 'Geez Lily could you just wave your wand and piss off' or 'Isn't there a spell that can make you less of a loser?' The tension in the Evans house was unbearable due to the constant bickering of the two sisters.
"I didn't know this was your vicinity Evans," said a voice from behind. Looking at the ground she shook her head. She knew the voice; she just didn't want to hear it, not now, not ever. "Come on Evans, admit it, your happy for me to be hear aren't you?"
Lily looked up at the boy who was much taller than she was, "Brush your hair Potter."
"Now that's no way to greet your favorite person is it?" He joked, hitting her up the back of the head gently.
"You mind nor touching me. I don't want to sprout warts or anything. And I suppose its not the right way to great my favorite person but James, you are my least favorite so don't hold your breath." Lily said dryly before turning her back on him.
"Owch Evans. You break my heart you know."
"Well that's generally the point, yet you never get the hint do you Potter?"
"All I'm trying to do is say hello Lily, don't have to get all touchy about it." He said as if he was trying to teach her some manners.
Lily turned to look at him. "Fine. Hi James. Now leave me alone, you have plenty of time to bug me at school all year."
"Nope," He said looking over her head. "I want to know who the blonde chick your with is,"
"That." She said sounding disgusted, "Is my sister."
"I feel the love," He said looking down at Lily briefly before looking back up. "Well she's taken a liking to Sirius no matter how much you don't like her."
"WHAT?" she exclaimed, looking quickly at Petunia. She roller her eyes at her sister who was practically throwing her self at Sirius. She'd seen girl after girl do the same at school, and just like at school he was soaking it up like a sponge. Lily started laughing hysterically.
"I really don't see it as that as all that funny Evans." James sounded sort of confused.
"Well you see. Argh never mind. Just let him go... She deserves it." Lily said between fits of laughter.
"Your laughing at her not Sirius right?" He asked unsure.
"Yeah of course. Sirius picking up stopped being funny in second year."
They stood silently watching Lily's sister flirt with Sirius. Lily couldn't wait until Petunia found out Sirius was a wizard. Boy would that be worth a laugh. Slowly the line for the food cart shortened and when she finally got served she ordered a can of Coke.
"What on earth is 'Coke'?"
"A drink James. It's probably the most popular Muggle drink there is."
"I'm not a Muggle, I wouldn't know." James smiled stealing the can from Lily and tasting the drink. "Hey this is, kinder nice." He said as though he gave it quite a lot of thought.
Lily watched him take another drink. "Hey, I just lined up for that. Give it back, I'm thirsty." She made a grab for the can.
"Say that magic words Evans." He joked.
"Hahaha funny."
"Excuse the pun, but I believe the word I was looking for was please."
"Potter, can I 'please' have back my own drink that I brought with my own money because I was thirsty that you stole off me with out asking?"
"When you put it that way, you make me sound bad."
"No matter how you say it, Potter you sound bad all the time."
James gave her back her drink and looked at Sirius and Evans' sister. She had to be older and he could tell that she wasn't really blond because her hair looked practically canary yellow. She had Lily's eyes, or maybe Lily had her eyes, the same nose, they were about the same height but Lily's sister had something else going for her that Lily didn't. Lily's sister had a more famine look to her. Lily had jeans on; her sister wore a short skirt. Her sister's hair was out and in her face giving her a sexy look. Lily would wear her red hair back in a ponytail, always, with only bit of hair in her face just leaving Lily with the runners up prize as just 'cute'.
"Do you mind not gawking at my sister please."
"Touchy, What's her name?"
"Petunia." She spat. "PETUNIA! BLACK! DO YOU MIND?? I'M NOT GOING TO STAND HERE ALL DAY WITH JAMIE YOU KNOW!" Lily yelled across the crowd to the pair. They both looked up from their conversation; Petunia looked pissed.
"Then fuck off," She said dry and slow, just to make sure Lily got the point.
James watched Lily. She just glared and stomped off. Whenever he insulted her, in fact whenever anyone insulted her Lily made a big song and dance about it but then. She said nothing.
"You're just going to let her get away with that?" He asked hoping along behind her. Lily muttered underneath her breath. James had never seen her like this. She was absolutely furious. "Ok, look. In my experience you crack the biggest tantrums I have ever seen when someone pisses you off and if I'm not mistaken you're pissed off. So tell me Lils why do you let your sister get to you so much?"
Lily just turned and looked at him briefly still walking along as fast she could. She hated it so much when people called her 'Lils'. Before she knew she felt an hand grab her upper arm from behind and pull her to a halt. "Look Evans I can tell you pissed but common it can't be that bad."
"James I'm sick of fighting with her. I have come to the conclusion that when I leave home the only time I'll ever talk to her or see her is when I visit mum and dad for Christmas . If she can swallow her pride enough. I hate her, I hate her boyfriend." Lily said bitterly, not looking at his face but rather diverting all her attention at a button on his shirt.
"Boyfriend?"
"Oh yeah, Vernon this and Vernon that. He's rich and he's got a family company and he has a future. blar blar blar. She's a fucking snob. I hate her so much. She going to want to kill me if anything happens between her and Sirius you know." Lily said looking up at James, his face blank except for his concern. "She hates me because I am a witch. She thinks I'm a freak. She thinks we are all freaks." She finished quietly looking at her feet. She kicked the dirt around with her sneakers. She felt a hand on her chin.
James lifted her face up so he could look her in the eyes. "Good for her." He said simply.
