The Famous Marauders

Chapter four: Detention

When James, and Sirius entered McGongicals office Lily was already sitting in a chair.

"Please take a seat" Proffesor McGongical said as she gazed up at the three "This detention will be held in the trophy room. You will clean each trophy by hand on the very left hand side of the room you will find everything you need. A warning Mr. Black if you do use magic 50 house points will be taken, each." She added to Lily and James "off you go now"

Every thing was as McGonical had said. After a half hour of cleaning the silence was broken by Sirius.

"This is so boring, lets play exploding snaps"

"Are you completely mad? If we do that we'll be hear all night" Lily snapped

"I got it well play truth or dare, something we can do while cleaning" James suggested

"Works for me" Lily and Sirius said at exactly the same moment

"Ladies first, Lily truth or dare? Sirius questioned

Lily considered her choices for a moment deciding she didn't want to know what sick twisted thing she was in store for she chose "truth"

"Your no fun, wait I got it" a smile pierced Sirius's lips

"If you say you don't like James, who do you like and why?"

James put down his rag and looked at Lily with sad eyes.

"I well. erm. I, I like James" she muttered

"What, we couldn't hear you" Sirius said amusing himself

"I like James, ok" Lily said louder turning scarlet

James gasped and very puzzled "then why wont you go out with me?"

"Because, erm. I'm scared of you and you need to learn you can't get everything you want."

"But, you like me"

"Ja- I mean Potter" she stopped she couldn't bring herself to insult him right now.

Turning away instead she tears started falling down her face and found another trophy in the back and started cleaning it. She looked down at it and just her luck it was awarded to James Potter for special services toward the school.

She sat crying over it while.

On the other side of the room James stood in complete shock.

"Earth to James, wake up James" Sirius was jumping around in front of James, trying to get his attention

"She likes me, she really, really likes me" James spoke with a goofy look on his face

"So go talk to her mate" Sirius spoke in a what-are-you-doing-here-when-the- girl-of-your-dreams-is-crying-over-you

James didn't say anything just left and started to look around the huge room for Lily.

He found her cleaning a medal that look oddly familiar to him, from somewhere. She was sitting on a bench that sat at the very end of the room. Tears were falling from her gorgeous green eyes that were red and swollen around them.

She hadn't noticed he was watching her and continued to scrub the medal.

James recognized the medal by now and sat down next to Lily who was so lost in thought she hadn't noticed him. Five minutes had passed and Lily still hadn't noticed.

"I think it's clean"

Lily let out a surprised screech and was stunned, to find James sitting next to her, making her drop the medal.

"Hey, don't drop it, I worked hard for that medal." James joked knowing nothing else to do

Lily laughed lightly before bending down to place the medal back on to the shelf.

"Erm. Lily look I'm really sorry"

"For what" Lily said puzzled

"You said back there that you were scarred to go out with me so I'm sorry for whatever I did to make you scared"

"Potter, I mean James I was scarred you would leave me with a broken heart. I mean there are so many other girls that like you. Face it you have your own fan club. Once you dated me for a week or less you'll get board and move on to another girl."

James looked at her, with concern written all over his face before he graved her hand and sincerely said

"Lily, I love you and would never hurt you"

"James lets just be friends for now and see if you still like me later, come on let's finish cleaning."

James nodded happy to be at least friends with Lily Evens.

They rejoin Sirius and finished cleaning. Sirius decided to wait until James and him were back in the boy's dorm before asking questions. They worked in silence finishing another hour later.

Lily bid them good night and hurried of to the girl's dorm while Sirius and James were about to go up to the boys.
