A/N Sorry for the delay, but I'll try and keep churning out chapters!
Lily poked Kaleb in the side, while the aforementioned brunette was slumbering peacefully. "WHAT?!" she said loudly, as she jumped about a foot in the air.
Then, seeing Lily she promptly cast a silencing charm, and beat her friend soundly with a pillow. "You, Lily my love, are damned lucky I don't feel up to murder tonight!"
Lily stopped laughing and divested her friend of her pillow. "Now that I'm safe for a while, I wanted to know what you thought about tonight?"
"Am I hearing correctly? Are you turning into a, gasp, girl? You want to stay up late and giggle about going out with the Marauders?" Kaleb looked at her in mock horror, and it was Lily's turn to beat her best friend with a pillow.
Kaleb managed to banish the pillow across the room, where it hit Jennifer Harris in the head, without waking her.
"I thought it was fun. I mean, a lot more so than I would have expected. Sirius and Remus can actually move when they want to, and I didn't see you complaining over there with James!" Kaleb accused.
Lily simply smirked a nearly obscene smirk and said, "Hey, no complaints here."
"Then go to bed. Or else I will tell James, in front of the whole school, that you sleep with a stuffed unicorn." Kaleb threatened.
"Go ahead, like I care!" Lily challenged, giggling madly.
"Dang it. This is one of those rare moments when I hate that you're an individual."
"Ah, you know you love me."
"yeah, and I'd love you even more if you'd let me get some sleep."
Lily sighed as if making some big sacrifice, then retreated to her bed. "The things I do for my friends."
When the pair woke up the next morning, they showered and dressed and went down to the Common room as usual, barely speaking, simply communicating with knowing glances.
When they reached the Common Room they burst into a round of knowing laughter, triggered by one of the expressions on the other's face. They were soon silenced when the Marauders headed over towards them.
"Hey Lils, Kaleb." Remus greeted them, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Hey Rems." Lily and Kaleb replied in unison, without batting an eye, it was normal, they just spent so much time together that they were constantly finishing each other's sentences and the like.
"What, no simple 'hellos' for the rest of us Tiger Lily?" James asked, grinning.
"Nah, we don't…" Lily started and Kaleb finished, "…greet Wankers."
"Has anyone ever told you how creepy that is?" Remus asked, shaking his head.
"If you hadn't noticed, we don't generally talk to people, so they haven't had the pleasure of discovering that little personality trait." Kaleb deadpanned.
"Ew, who called the loser patrol?" A familiar, snotty voice whine. Jennifer Harris was on the site again.
"Well it certainly wasn't us, maybe you should go see if they wanted you?" Lily said innocently.
Jennifer made a face, and then said in a menacing voice, "Now, Evans, I don't know what you think you're doing, maybe you think by hanging around the Marauders you'll be popular, but nobody. Likes. You. So just turn your punked out little self around, and go set a teacher on fire with that awful hair of yours, before something happens to you."
Lily smiled lazily, the sort of smile that a feline has when its circling its prey. "Now, now Harris, darling. You know its never been my aim to be popular, and was that a threat I heard escape your ditzy little mouth? You should know by now not to threaten me, I mean, after all, I know what you did last summer."
"I didn't do anything last summer!" Jennifer squeaked.
"So, you're worried that I'll tell the Marauders that you had breast enhancement charms done? Oops! Sorry. Doesn't look like it did anything, does it?" Lily smirked, her eyes flicking downward for a split second. "Maybe this'll help. Engorgio!" Lily hissed, and Jennifer's bum grew to be the size of a small sofa.
Jennifer shrieked and tried to run back up to the dorm, knocking over several people, pieces of furniture, and portraits before realizing she couldn't fit up the stairs! Her ditzy friends were all around her, trying to figure out the counter-charm, but ended up turning her bum blue and sprouting daisies.
Lily could barely contain her laughter, and a few giggles escaped.
"Well, that's a lesson she won't soon forget!" Sirius said, roaring with laughter.
"God, Lils, a bit dangerous are we?" Remus said, smiling at his friend.
Kaleb wrapped an arm around her shoulders and said to her, "So, Lils, how long do you think it'll be before they remember Finite Incantatem?"
"I'd wager until some third year tells her out of pity." Peter said thoughtfully.
"You know, Pettigrew, that sounds about right." Kaleb smirked.
"So, we'll be seeing you in detention tonight?" James asked Lily.
"Oh, I don't know. McGonagall rarely gives me detention. This one might be worth it though!" Lily laughed.
"here," Kaleb said and cast a loss of solidity charm at Jennifer's bum, making it wiggle all over with every move. "Now we've both got detention."
"You're the best Kaleb, my love." Lily grinned and headed towards the Great Hall with her friend.
"No, no, you're the best!" Kaleb replied, and Lily appeared to think about this for a while, then held her free arm (the right one was entangled with Kaleb's) out to Remus.
"I believe Rems is the best!" Lily said seriously, and smiled when Remus took her arm.
"Now that we've all agreed that we're the best, I'm hungry, so move it." Remus said, laughing.
"Right-o! Onward, fearless leader!" Kaleb said, with a flourish.
"I was thinking of a more, mon capitan?" Remus said, looking at Kaleb.
"You're both wrong, I'm more of a…Joan d'Arc." Lily said proudly.
"What, have you been burned at the stake lately?" Kaleb scoffed.
"Oh, come on, we both know that she didn't really die then, she just cast that Flame Freezing Charm, remember?" Lily laughed.
"Quite right. Well, how about…Guinevere?" Remus suggested.
"She was a wimp. Plus she had an affair with Lancelot, and I can't respect that. How about…Lily the Supreme Ruler and Head Llama Jockey of Gryffindor?"
"Oh yes, THAT works." Kaleb smiled.
"Llama jockey?" Remus asked.
"Lily went to these mountains and she rode llamas all over the place, now she won't shut up about it." Kaleb explained.
"Ah, I see."
"Hey! Are we going to breakfast anytime soon?" Sirius' voice called from behind them.
"Oh! I forgot you lot were back there!" Lily said.
"Well, now that you've been reminded, lets get a move on!" James insisted, and the group finally made their way into the Great Hall.
A/N Sorry, that chapter was pointless, I just though I'd show you a bit of the Pair's relationship with Remus, and how they're sort of disregarding the other Marauders still. Heh, more out soon!
