A/N: I know the Quidditch match sucked so I changed it. So please read that
before you begin with this chapter. Oh and by the way, I got a tip not to
let James and Lily kiss after James told what happend, but I wasn't
planning to, you see, I know where this fic will end and how I want to end
it. It's just getting to that end.
Chapter 8
James and Sirius changed as quickly as possible. When they come back to Gryffindor tower to get some money, Remus and Bella had already left and Peter and Lily were discussing the match.
"I'm equally feeling sorry for Slytherin now."
"Don't be stupid, Peter."
"Well, you wouldn't want to be in their shoes, would you."
"Of course not, I would be a Slytherin if I was in their shoes, for GOD sake, who would want to be a Slytherin, except the Slytherins? Oh hi guys, nice match."
"Thank you Lily, but it wasn't a fair match, was it?"
"What do you mean, James?"
"We had a hyperactive Sirius, no match is a fair match if Sirius is hyperactive."
"Stop taking, Zonko's!"
"Don't worry, Padfoot. You can say were we're going because you were the star of the game."
"Please Prongs, don't say that. You know where we'll be all day if you do."
"Wormtail, don't worry, I don't want to spent all day in Zonko's, but Padfoot is STAR of the game, so he can say where we'll be going, but we must all agree with that."
"Not fair!"
"Sirius, that match wasn't fair either, so don't complain."
"Yeah."
"Nice friends I have."
"If you got a problem with us, ask Snivellus if you can be friends with him."
"You know, Prongs. I think you're the best friends ever."
"Prove it."
"How?"
"After Zonko's you let us choose where we go."
"Deal."
"Told you not to worry, didn't I, Wormtail?"
"You're a genius, Prongs."
"How many time have I heard that already?"
~~~~~~
At last they arrived in Hogmeade and went to Zonko's to replenish their tricks. Lily was surprised to see how ingenious the three boys were. They sometimes had a totally different use for the stuff they bought then it was meant for. Like frog-spawn soap, they didn't say what they were going to do with it, just that it would be charmed.
When they finally left Zonko's, Lily's mind was racing. She was trying to figure out what the boys wanted to do with the stuff they just bought, but she just couldn't. It was Peter who interrupted her train of toughts.
"Shall we go and get a Butterbeer in The Three Broomsticks?"
"Best idea I've ever heard from you, Wormtail."
"Padfoot!"
"What? I was only telling the truth."
"Well, it was Wormtail who thought of sending Snivellus shampoo."
"You win, sorry Wormtail."
"Doesn't matter, Padfoot. Now lets get that Butterbeer!"
"I totally agree with you. Last one there is a rotten egg."
With that both Peter and Sirius started running.
"Come on, Lily. You don't want to be a rotten egg, do you?"
"Definitely not."
Lily and James ran after the other two and took over Peter halfway to the pub. Sirius was already waiting outside for his friends to arrive. Peter was last and Sirius tried to turn him into a rotten egg, but was stopped by James and Lily. They threatened to tell Fungus who let a Dangbomb explode in his office to finally stop him from trying to escape their grip.
They entered the pub and saw Remus and Bella sitting in a far corner, but decided to leave them alone. There would be enough time to bug them when the got back to the castle. After they sat down the conversation soon was about the Quidditch match and Slytherin team.
"So when do you think they'll get out of hospital wing?"
"Lets hope not anywhere in the near future, Lily."
"Well, I'm just hoping that you don't get hyperactive again. I'll never feel sorry for Slytherin, but Hufflepuff and Ravenclow."
"Prongs, are you becoming soft?"
"Be honest, Padfoot. I know you have your eyes set on that Ravenclow Chaser, but I don't think you get a snog out of her when you sent her to the infirmary."
"Got a point there, Prongs."
"You know, Prongs. Come to think of it, you're the only one of us who has been single since we came back here and you're the most wanted of all the guys at school. Lost your touch?"
"Nope, just don't want to."
"Hell froze over, James Potter doesn't want to snog a girl."
"I didn't say that. I just said I didn't want to snog the girls who asked me out."
"Hé Potter, Black, nice game."
"What do you want Diggery?"
"Don't worry, I don't want anything from you. I just wanted to ask the lovely lady, who's sitting with you, if she wanted to go to the Valentines Ball with me."
"Isn't that a bit early?"
"You can never be to early to ask a lovely lady out on a date, so what do you say Lily?"
"Sorry, I'm already promised someone to go with him."
"Who?"
"You'll see."
With that Diggery left.
"That was just a lie, wasn't it? You just don't want to go with Diggery."
"No Sirius. Someone really did ask me to go already."
The three boys look surprised. James had forgotten, he asked Lily to go with him and was now remembered of there deal. Lucky for him no girl had asked him yet, else he might have had a double date.
"So, who you want to go with, Prongs?"
"Don't know, who do you two want to go with?"
When they were looking around for an idea, James took the opportunity to wink at Lily. She knew they would play the game of not telling and letting everybody wait and see.
"I don't know, what about you Padfoot?"
"Don't know, but it's October and the ball is February, there's enough time to think of someone to go with, but we don't have to ask who Moony and Bella will be going with."
"You can say that again."
"We don't have to ask who Moo...."
"We got it the first time, Padfoot."
"You said I could say that again yourself, Prongs."
"Not literally!"
"I know, I just wanted to bug you."
"Do that again and you're out of the Quidditch team."
"Ai ai, captain."
"Just drink your Butterbeer."
~~~~~~
After they finished their Butterbeer, they decided to walk around Hogsmeade for a while. They ended up looking at the Shrieking Shack.
"You know, I'd like to see how it looks like from the inside."
"You can if you want to, Lily. If you promise never to go there when it's full moon, we could show you how to get in there, but we have to ask Moony if he's alright with that."
"You'd really do that for me, Sirius?"
"You showed we can trust you, so yeah."
"Thanks."
"We'll ask Moony as soon as we get back."
"And if he says yes, you'll show me right away?"
"I got a better idea. Why don't we show you after the last full moon of this school year, just to on the safe side."
"Spoil-sport!"
"I just don't want what happened to Snivellus happen to one of my friends, oke?"
"Oke, oke, you win. We'll show Lily after the last full moon."
"I only agree with that if you promise, James."
"Promise."
There was a loud explosion and the Dark Sign appeared in the sky.
"Lets get out of here, it's not safe anymore."
"You read my mind, Padfoot. I might not be scared or Voldemort or his man, but I don't want to die just yet."
As soon as they got back down from the hill, they were caught in a flow of student trying to get back to school as fast as they could.
"If people don't watch out, someone might get hurt."
"You are Head Students, Lily, maybe you should use that."
"How, Sirius?"
"I don't know."
"CALM DOWN!"
Everybody was silent and looked at James.
"Oke, everything is gonna be alright, just follow me. Everybody who is allowed to do magic outside the school get your wands out and be ready for anything."
Several students got out their wands, even Slytherin. James and Lily made their way to the front of the front of the group. Sirius, Peter, Remus and Bella, who had came to their friends as soon as they heard James cry, stayed behind to guard the end of the group. The group began to move again, only much slower this time.
~~~~~~
When they arrived at the gate, a group of teacher, including Dumbledore, were waiting for the students. They were expecting scared and running students and were surprised to see, a scared, but calm group.
"Potter, Evans, my office please."
"Yes Professor Dumbledore."
"The rest of you go back to your dormitories."
Everybody went their on way, once they arrived in the Entry Hall. Lily and James, who had dropped back to join their friends again, said there goodbyes and headed to Dumbledores office. They were sitting there for God knows how long, when Dumbledore finally entered.
"Thank you for waiting. I wanted to thank you for getting all students back safe and ask you how you got them so calm."
"James jelled that everybody had to calm down and follow him, if they could use magic outside school they had to get there wands and be ready for anything."
"Good thinking, Mr. Potter. 100 Points for Gyffindor for both of you."
"Thank you, Professor, but do you know what has happened?"
"Just a joke from one of the Darth Eaters."
"Nice joke, we're lucky nobody got hurt."
"My thought's the same, Miss Evans. Now I think you'd better get back to your friends. Head of the houses should be telling what happened right now, so you wont get any question about that."
"Than you don't know Sirius, Professor. He'll want to hear what you had to say about it, before he believes it. And I got the feeling he's not the only one."
"You better go and tell them than. Oh before I forget, how is the ball coming?"
"Great, we may even have finished preparing before Christmas."
"It's good to hear that. Well of you go."
"Bye Professor."
"See you."
"Once again, I have to say, I hope not, Mr. Potter."
They laughed and left Dumbledores office.
A/N: So what did you think? Please review. Julia & Malu, Channy, Dutch Lily and Vegea Kalorale thank you for reviewing. Oh and trashcan, I would love to mail you when I upload a new chapter, but my e-mail keeps returning. I'm really sorry about this, but I can't help it.
