Chapter 4: Magic has its downfalls.

Lily woke up to the sound of screaming. It was the rest of her dorm.

The room was covered in honey and sugar and to make matters worse everyone knew who had done it but didn't want to stand up for themselves.

Everyone had honey in their hair, everyone except Bella. Lily figured it was because she was dating Sirius.

After trying really hard to get the honey out, the girls figured it was magically attached. Lily was fed-up, she knew who had put honey in her hair, and she knew no one was going to stand up for them, so she did it.

"Lily, where are you going?" Mandy asked, still trying to get the sugar out of her bed. It made her think, if there was sugar in her bed, then someone must have been watching her sleep. She hated it.

"I'm going to set things straight. I'm going to talk to the 'Marauders'." She replied firmly.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the honey covered Lily" Sirius said trying to contain a smile. It didn't work.

The Marauders were all rolling on the floor with laughter. Lily hadn't laughed and didn't find it funny that they were.

"So, how long does it last and how do I get rid of it?" Lily asked ignoring the laughter.

"I last for as long as you want it to and you have to say the magic words." Remus replied with a smile.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Lily asked

"It means, once you say the magic words the honey will come off you and the rest of them." Informed Sirius with a look of triumph.

"The 'magic words' are?"

"You have to say that you'll go out with James. Until then you can't get the honey or sugar out, sorry." Remus replied.

This took a while for James to understand what was just said.

"Hey!"

"I agree with James, that is so unfair." Lily yelled trying to sound calm.

"Who said we had to play fair?" Sirius asked.

"But…but….but." Lily replied trying to get of this terrible situation.

"No buts. You either do this or none of the honey or sugar comes off." Remus informed her.

"That was not the agreement that we had before." James argued.

"Well, Siri and I voted and you lost." Remus said

"Don't I count?" asked a very confused Peter.

"Oh, sorry Pete, I forgot you were there." (A/N: so you should.) Remus said.

"Hey, but what about the spell, it only wears off if she says those other magic words", James said.

"There are more than one set of magic words?" Lily asked. At this point she was clearly lost and was about to agree to go out with James.

"No, just our ones." Sirius informed.

"Yeah, we made sure James wasn't looking last night, which was a cinch because his eyes never left your body, then we just said different magic words for you to say. It was easy" Remus said.

"Great." Lily and James (A/N: that sound soooo good together doesn't it?) replied at the same time.

"So Lily, will you go out with James?" Sirius asked

"If I do how long would I have to do it for?" Lily asked annoyed

"A week." Remus said.

"A week? I don't think I can last that long around him. And would that mean we have to act like we're going out? 'Cause if we do then I don't think I can. But wait, this also means James cannot cheat on me. I'll do it."

" Great, we have a deal." Sirius replied

"We do?" James asked

"Yes Jamie, you and Lily are officially a couple." Remus answered laughing

"Well I should probably go dump my other girlfriend. And you guys better hope she still wants to go out with me afterwards." James said

"Idiot." Lily muttered under her breath as James walked up the stairs.

"Oh, I've just remembered why i'm down here. Is the honey gone? Am I sugar free?"

"Yes and Yes. By the way, James' girlfriends sit with us at breakfast, lunch and dinner. So see you later, we'll tell James to wait for you while you get dressed." Sirius said.

"I'm not sitting on your lap." Lily said through gritted teeth as James started to edge towards her.

"Oh come on, I don't bite." James replied coolly

"Sure you don't, and i'm a perfect little angel. Give me a break."

"Listen Lilla…." James started

"Lilla? Where did you get Lilla from?" (A/N: I got Lilla out of a book My Place its an Australian book thingy.)

"I make up nicknames for all the girls in the school."

"Well don't, I was only doing this to get the honey out of my hair."

"Well its not like i'm the happiest person on the earth because Miss Perfect Lily is going out with me." James said sarcastically.

"Hey look, the couple's first fight." Sirius said stopping James and Lily form blowing each other's heads off.

"Couple?" Mandy, Emma and Bella said at the same time.

"What do you mean couple?" Bella asked her boyfriend.


"Oh, didn't Lilla tell you?" Remus asked

"What is with the Lilla?" Lily screamed getting the attention of the whole school.

"MISS EVANS!!!"

"Sorry professor."

"Lily and James are going out. And Lily, we like the name Lilla. Sorry if you don't." Sirius said.

"Well I don't ok? So can you shut the F**K up and leave me in peace to eat my breakfast?" Lily snapped.

(A/N: my sis Anna wrote that! She's really cool isn't she? Hehe)

"Ok, ok. No need to throw a temper tantrum." Sirius said hands up in defeat.

"Come on Lily, if you don't cooperate that honey can come right back on." Remus said, he knew he had won.

"Fine. But just leave me alone for the moment. Ok?" Lily asked.

"Ok. But James here has to stay with you." Remus said

"Fine. Just go. I'll see you later ok?" Lily said mainly to the girls

"Ok. See ya Lils." Mandy said with a look of disgust on her face. She really did hate James Potter.

"Magic sure has its downfalls. Doesn't it?" Lily asked

"You got that right." James agreed as the others walked away.

(A/N: ok so there you have the 4th chapter. Tell me if you like it or if you hate it ok? Anna only wrote that coz I was making her look through the story and find faults and check out that chapter. So its her fault if it sux because she said she likes it.

As you can tell I hate Peter so he is NOT going to be in the story much. If you don't like this than object coz you're the people i'm writing for. Ok.

Next chapter up soon.)
