Chapter 15: Welcome to Miami
James woke up, once again, to Lily kissing him. Lily pulled back.
"I woke up an hour ago but I didn't want to wake you up. You looked so peaceful." Lily grinned. "We're going to arrive pretty soon though. The pilot just told us. Right now it's 7 o'clock in Miami."
"7 o'clock?" James said, fully awake now.
"Yea, time change, remember?"
"Oh, right."
(A/N: Don't flame me about the time, I have no clue how that'll work! I just remember that when I travel to the west the time gets earlier. . At least I think, yeah I'm pretty sure, but I'm not sure how far it is from Britain to Florida.)
James looked around and saw Bella sleeping, Veronica reading a muggle magazine she had picked up from one of the stands, Remus reading a fiction story, and Sirius also sleeping with his tongue hanging out of his mouth.
James smirked and then turned to Bella and gently started shaking her.
"Sheep go baa . . . what?" Bella looked up at James and James looked back at her. James burst out laughing while Bella still looked confused. James shook his head and turned back to Lily and started talking to her about some pranks the Marauders had done in their earlier years.
Sirius snorted in his sleep, gasped, and sat up straight, "DON'T LET THE BANANA WIN!"
"Sirius . . ." Remus couldn't even finish his sentence because he was laughing too hard.
The airplane started shaking and Lily gasped and closed her eyes as hard as she could.
After about ten minutes the plane finally landed and Lily let out a deep breath and opened her eyes, looking out the window. The sun was just setting.
The seat belt sign went off when the plane made a complete stop and everyone took their seat belt off and stood up stretching.
"My butt hurts!" Sirius said rubbing his butt.
"Whatever," Veronica said laughing also rubbing her butt, yawning.
A Slytherin who was behind them pushed past them, "Move it," he hissed, glaring at them.
They all shrug and Lily grabbed her backpack and they all headed off the plane and out of the airport waiting for their busses.
Once again Snape didn't say anything to them as they were waiting, standing about 8 feet away from him. He actually looked deep in thought . . . it was creepy.
And what was even weirder was when Snape gave Peter a nod and then Tricia gave Snape and Peter a nod. Of course, no one but Peter himself noticed.
"When will the bus come?" James said impatiently, tapping his foot, and just as he said that the bus rolled up and everyone cheered tiredly.
The Marauders ended up being the last people to enter the bus and to their disappointed they had to take the first seats.
"Welcome to Miami, I will be your host throughout your entire stay here in Florida! My name is Athena." A girl who looked like she was 19 years old said in an unenthusiastic, sarcastic American voice.
She had on baggy black pants with red stripes on the sides, a shirt with a muggle version of a fairy, tons of different necklaces and bracelets with one spiky ring, and black straight long hair, and aqua eyes. Athena wasn't skinny but she wasn't fat either.
Athena looked all over the bus and her eyes rested on Sirius. She rolled her eyes at him when he winked and kept talking, "If you have any questions throughout your entire stay, please ask me."
"Will you go out with me?" Sirius asked, giving her puppy dog eyes.
"You wish," Athena said sitting in the one seat open in front of the Marauders.
To everyone's surprise, Sirius actually looked disappointed. He looked out the window frowning and James turned to his best friend.
"Sirius, don't do that kind of stuff. Some girls don't like that!" James whispered.
"Well sorry! I didn't know! Most girls at Hogwarts liked it when I did that kind of stuff."
"But not ALL girls are like that!" James hissed back.
"You don't have to worry about this kind of stuff anymore James! You already have a girlfriend!" Sirius hissed back angrily, eyes flashing with hurt.
James sighed, "Look Sirius, I'm sorry, let's not start this trip off bad, ok? Just be more understanding and try actually talking with her instead of flirting!"
"It's okay James, I'll do that . . . You're one lucky man James." Sirius looked at Lily who was reading a muggle fantasy book, oblivious to the world around her and then Sirius repeated again, "One lucky man."
James sighed and took one of Lily's hands while she continued reading. It was amazing how he never noticed her before. He would've still loved her even if she still was fat.
Sirius stood up and walked over to Athena and sat in front of her on the floor.
"Look Athena, I'm sorry about earlier, you don't even know me yet and I don't even know you for the matter. So, I'm Sirius Black." Sirius looked down in his lap and started playing with his hands.
Athena studied Sirius for a minute then finally started, "It's all good. By the way, I absolutely love the British accent!"
Sirius grinned and said, "Yeah, well I like the American accent."
"British is better."
"American is."
"British"
"American"
"British"
"American"
"American"
"British"
"Ha! I got you!" Athena said laughing.
Sirius laughed along with her.
"I think one week." Bella said looking at Athena and Sirius. "Want to bet?"
"No because I know you're going to win!" Remus said grinning.
"TruuuuUUUUUuuuue!" Bella laughed. She rested her head on Remus's shoulder and closed her eyes.
"Bella?"
"Hmm?"
"I want to tell you something."
Bella looked up in Remus's eyes, worriedly.
'He's going to break up with me," was Bella's thought.
Remus bit his tongue and turned his head.
"Never mind," he mumbled.
"No, tell me Remus."
"Bella," Remus sighed and looked in her eyes. "You fill my head up with your smiling face, and I just can't get you out of my head. You'll all I think about and your kisses make my heart melt and just seeing you send butterflies through my heart." Bella felt tears in her eyes. This was it; he was going to break up with me. He was just trying to make me feel special before he did.
"I love you."
Bella burst into tears and in between her sobs she managed to talk, "Oh Remus! I love you!"
It was the biggest grin the other Marauders had ever seen on Remus's face. Usually Remus didn't kiss his girlfriends in public but right then and there he grabbed her face with his hands and pulled her in a passionate kiss.
"Aw, they're so sweet!" Lily said, giggling, her book long forgotten.
"Yeah," James agreed.
Something in the back of Lily's mind told her something. James hasn't yet told her that he loved her. Did he? Lily looked at James and James looked back. Lily went back to her book, shaking her head. If he did, wouldn't he have told her yet?
Peter from behind all of them, glared at all of them in front of him and then glared at James. (A/N: REMEMBER Snape thought JAMES was the mind reader, and now all the Death Eaters think its James ALSO because Voldemort told them!) Stupid boy, he had no clue that Voldemort did a spell so that when a mind reader like James read other people's mind, they would think bad thoughts about him. Peter shook his head in disgust. Pathetic love sick fool.
Veronica started talking to Peter and Peter inwardly groaned. He had been playing nice boy lately. Still acting like a goof ball like the others so there would be no suspension. But Veronica was getting on his last nerves.
Peter thought that Veronica was starting to talk to him because the others were too caught up in each other.
Silly girl.
Peter started talking to her, casually slipping some random jokes there and there.
"So who are all your friends?" Athena asked looking at all of Sirius's friends.
"Oh, well this is James, his girlfriend Lily, her friend Bella, Remus, Peter, and Lily's and Bella's friend Veronica," Sirius said pointing each one out.
Bella and Remus who were still grinning, waved, Lily nodded not looking up from her book, James smiled, Peter gave a short nod, and Veronica smiled and waved. Athena waved back, smiling.
"Poke," Athena said randomly poking Sirius on the arm.
"Poke," Sirius said poking her belly.
"Double poke," Athena said, poking Sirius twice in the ribs. Athena and Sirius 'ohh' and laughed.
"Well . . . infinite poke!" Sirius yelled, jumping up and tickling her. Athena squealed and gasped for air as Sirius kept tickling her.
"O . . . K! You . . . You win!"
"Yes! Ha!"
Athena shook her head and the bus stopped.
"Wow, three hours sure did fly!" James said, standing up and helping Lily up.
"Got that right!" Lily said, laughing.
James grinned at Lily.
"You're beautiful."
"Thanks James, now come one, let's follow Athena." Lily sighed looking away. The whole James not saying "I love you" yet was getting on her nerves. When the moment comes, Lily thought and then pushed it aside.
"Ok everyone! Follow me!" Everyone stood up stretching and yawning and followed Athena off the bus. "Ok listen up!" Athena called standing on a stool to get a better view of everyone.
Lily took a look around her and what she could see in the dark, looked nice. There were picnic tables in one corner and where they were staying in was a huge wooden place. Lily wished it was morning so she could see the ocean but decided she'd just have to wait till tomorrow.
"The boy's dormitories are on the left and the girl's are on the right. There are three dormitories of each. Decide where who you want to sleep with. Good night everyone!"
Sirius and the others said good night to Athena and hurried up the stairs to get a good bed and a room with all their friends.
Lily, Bella, and Veronica rushed to one of the girl's dormitories and Lily hurried over to the top bunk which was by the window and put her book bag on it, claiming it was hers, before anyone else did. Bella got the bottom bunk to Lily's and Veronica got the top bunk that was next to theirs and it shared the window with Lily. Athena came in and got the bottom bunk to Veronica's deciding not to sleep in her own room where it would bore her to death. Other girls entered and they all lucked out by not getting Tricia and her crew with them.
"I'm so tired!" Bella moaned while changing into her pj's. Just a second ago a girl brought their entire luggage up with her wand. Yes, they were all witches and wizards here at the place they were staying at.
"Same here. Good night everyone!" Lily said, already changed in her pj's, lying down on her bed and closing her eyes.
"Good night!" Everyone chorused.
After one hour, Lily opened her eyes and sat up looking around. It took forever for all the girls to get ready for bed!
Lily silently padded to the door and opened it. It squeaked loudly and Lily closed her eyes, waiting her someone to say something. Not one word came.
Lily let out a deep breath and squeezed through the door, closing it behind her and started walking down towards the bathrooms. Once she finally got there, she smiled when she saw James.
They had agreed to meet in the bathroom area once everyone was asleep.
James smiled back and whispered, "Finally!"
"Sor-" Lily was cut off short as James put his arms behind Lily's head and gave her a kiss.
"Hey, who's down there?" A guy's voice from one of the owner's room yelled.
Lily pulled away and was about to gasp but James just put his mouth back on hers and clumsily guided Lily into the girl's bathroom and into one of the showers still kissing her. James let go and put his hand over Lily's mouth to stop her from breathing so loudly as the guy who called out walked into the bathroom.
He looked into the bathroom fast and then walked out.
After about 5 minutes of making sure it was ok, Lily turned to James.
"That was close!"
"I know right!" James said laughing nervously and then stared at Lily.
"What? Is there something on my face?" Lily said wiping her face just to make sure.
"No," James laughed, "Lily, I told you on the plane but you were asleep at the time but I'm telling you again. I love you."
"What?" Did she hear right?
"I love you," James repeated.
"James," Lily said, tears forming in her eyes, "I love you!"
"I love you more!" James said, pushing Lily gently to the wall of the shower, hand on each shoulder.
"No I love you more!" Lily laughed, wiping away the tears.
"More, more, more, more!"
"No I love you ten billion times more!"
"More!" James said stubbornly, and then kissed Lily. If anything, this was their most passionate kiss they had ever shared. So much love was put in it.
"James!" Lily giggled as James's hands wandered. "James!" Lily said warningly when he didn't stop.
James removed his hands.
Lily sighed, "I promised myself I wouldn't until marriage."
"Ok sorry Lily," James said looking at the ground.
Lily sighed again, "Oh come here you big git!" Lily said grabbing his shirt, turning him around to where he was against the wall, and kissed him.
