PTBAC

"Moony!? Where are you going?," Sirius wailed, "Moooohooohoooooneyyyyyyy!"
"I'm going back to the common room," Remus stated.
"Whyyy?"
"Because I don't think I could bear to watch James get beaten to a bloody pulp."
"Oh," Sirius said, thinking about what Remus said, "But why? I mean, it's not your fault that they're stuck in there, it's mine, so you should enjoy yourself."
Remus sighed and made his way back to the classroom door.

"What happened?," asked Lily, looking around for the mysterious clicking sound.
"What sound, Lily dear?," James replied, gazing at her.
"The clicking sound," she said, walking over to the door. "Don't call me "dear", Potter."
"Well, okay, but I didn't hear a clicking sound."
Lily tried to open the door. "It's LOCKED!," she yelled and started to kick it. She turned towards James. "This is all of your fault," she said pointing at him. "You WANT me to go crazy, don't you?"
James looked puzzled. "I didn't lock the door," he said, going over to the door himself and trying to open it. "And of course I don't want you to go crazy, unless it's crazy in love with me."
Lily rolled her eyes. "I'd never be 'crazy in love' with you, or however you put it," she said, trying to charm their way out. "Who in the hell decided that /i should only be able to open doors locked from the outside?"
"Someone very smart," James said, obviously happy with their current situtation.
"Shutup, Potter," she said, resulting to banging on the door screaming from help. She could of swore she heard snickering from the other side. "SIRIUS BLACK! I HEAR YOU!," she screamed through the cracks through the door. "I SWEAR IF YOU DON'T LET ME OUT RIGHT NOW I'LL GIVE YOU A MONTH'S WORTH OF DETENTION!" She heard a muffled "No!" from the other side. "I HATE YOU!," she said, kicking the poor, beaten door once more then sat down.
James came over and sat down next to her, "Now it can't be all that bad. After all, you wanted to meet me here in the first place."
Lily looked up at him. "What are you talking about?"
James furrowed his brows. "The note you sent me this morning. See, here it is," he said, and took out the worn note from his robe pocket and gave it to her.
Lily read it obviously confused. "I'm sorry, but I didn't write this. Actually, I'm not really sorry, I just didn't write this."
"Then who would have?"
They looked at eachother. "Them," they said in unison, then looked over towards the locked door.
"I can't believe they would do this," James said, burying his face in his hands, "Next time I see them, I'm going to kill them."
"I'm with you," Lily said, then gasped at the thought of agreeing with James.
"So, Evans, what do you want to do to pass the time," James asked, smiling at her.
"Nothing. I'll sit over here, and you sit over there," she said, pointing towards the other side of the room.
"Fine," he said crossing the room then sitting on a pile of old books.
They sat in silence in what seemed like forever to James.
"You know, you're really pretty," he said genuinely.
Lily just rolled her eyes and kicked some books away from her.
"Will you go out with me?"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Pretty please?"
"No!"
"Pretty pretty pretty please with a cherry on top?"
"NO! NO! And for the last time NO! I'd rather date Snape than you."
"Why would you want to go out with that greasy haired git when you could get me?"
"That's the reason. You're the most conceided person in the world," she said, crossing her arms with a huff.
"Well, that's a pretty big decision to make. I mean, have you met every person in the world?"
Lily had had enough. She picked up one of the old moldy books off of the floor and hurled it towards James. James's Quidditch reflexes let him dodge it easily.
"What was that for!?"
"For your smart ass comments, now shutup for God's sake."
"God has nothing to do with this."
"That's it, I'm climbing out of the window," she said, standing up and crossing the room towards the single window.
"Lily, we're six floors up," said James worriedly.
"So? Dying isn't as bad as being stuck in a room with you."
"No, Lily," James said, "you wouldn't do it anyways."
Lily groaned. "This is the worst day of my life," she said, burying her face in her lap.
"You know, they aren't going to let us out until they're convinced that we like eachother," James stated.
Lily looked up from her current position. "I hate to say it James Potter, but you're right."
"I know."
"Well, so what's the plan? I'm willing to do anything at this point."
"Anything?," asked James, smirking. Lily caught on to what he was getting at.
"You know what I mean."
"Unfortunantly, I do."
"So, we just have to make them think we like eachother," she said.
"Exactly," James said, standing up, "Just say something like 'Oh James, you're the best person in the world' then run into my arms and I'll say something clever."
"You wish," she said, walking back over to her seat.
"It's the only thing that's going to get us out of here," he said desperately. "Away from eachother."
"Fine," she said, standing up again then clearing her throat. "OH JAMES, YOU'RE THE MOST WONDERFUL PERSON IN THE WORLD! I CAN'T BELIEVE I'VE HATED YOU ALL OF THESE YEARS!," she bellowed, running across the room then halting in front of James.
"I THINK I LOVE YOU, LILY!," James yelled towards the door, knowing that he really did in the back of his mind.

On the other side of the door Sirius's eyes brightened. "See! I told you!," he said, casting the spell to open the door.
Remus rolled his eyes knowing perfectly well that Lily and James were putting on a show.
Sirius opened the door, smiling. "So you like James now, huh Lily?" James and Lily ran towards the door and shoved past them.
"You've got a month's worth of detention, all three of you," she said pointing to Remus, Sirius, and Peter.
"So you don't really like James?," Sirius asked, sounding upset.
"OF COURSE NOT!," she yelled walking down the corridor then turning.
James walked right past his three fellow Maraurders as well.
"Jamesey!," Sirius yelled, "Come back!" But James was already gone.
"Good plan, Padfoot, you idiot," Remus said walking down the corridor after James.
"Yea, you know, he's probably going to kill us tonight," Peter said, following James.
"Guys!," Sirius screamed after them, "I'm sorry!," he said then ran after them.
