Suddenly, Jenny sat bolt upright, and began to shout,
"Sirius Black! What the hell is your…" But Sirius didn't let her finish. He cupped her face in his hands and kissed her forcefully. When Jenny finally pulled away, she continued,
"Problem? Oh, what the hell!" And kissed him back.
School life went on, as usual, Malfoy being a git, Snape being a slime ball. Except for a few unorthodox incidents. As the marauders, especially James and Sirius, were dating the sorceresses, they were hated by the school's entire male population. The girls, as they were going out with the marauders, were hated by every other girl. And the fan clubs were anything but eager to leave them alone.
Once, Sirius's fan club left a nasty surprise in Jenny's Ancient Languages book, in the form of a gobstone, which squirted undiluted bubotuber pus. Another time, Lily was caught out by an enchanted statue, which performed the bat bogey hex on her every time she walked past. The boys didn't get off easily either. Jenny's supporters had crept into the marauders dormitory once, and cursed Sirius to look like an old woman. Unfortunately, their plan backfired, as Jenny got to spend more time with Sirius, as she was the only one who knew the complicated counter curses. And Lily's fans once attempted to turn James into a table, not that it worked that well.
Apart from these things, however, the excellent eight's lives carried on pretty smoothly, which brings us to a warm night in the middle of the summer term. Lily lay in her bed, tossing and turning. She glanced at her alarm clock face, which glowed in the dark.
"Midnight?" She thought, "I'll never get to sleep now." And with that she rose and crept down the stairs to the common room. There she saw James and Sirius, sitting talking on one of the long sofas.
"Couldn't sleep either?" James asked, sympathetically.
"Nope. So what's happening, pyjama party?"
"Kinda, hi Jen!" Was Sirius's answer.
"Hey. Restless nights for you guys too huh?" Was her lethargic reply.
"Right. I've an idea, truth or dare?" James responded, his eyes glinting.
"Neat, O.K., I'll go first, Dare." Lily said, a wicked grin lighting up her face.
"Right then," Jenny replied, all trace of Lethargy gone. "I dare you to run up and down the corridor outside, doing the chicken dance, and saying 'I'm a chicken, bok bok bok.' Over and over."
"Done." And with that, Lily led them out of the portrait hole, and proceeded to do her dare. She did it, and they returned through the open portrait hole, and carried on with the game.
"Right Jenny." Lily said, mischievously, "Truth or dare?"
"Truth." Was the prompt reply.
"You're no fun." Lily responded, exasperatedly.
"Name all your firsts." Said Sirius.
"If you insist." She replied, but you might not like it. First crush; Paul McCartney, I was only eight, first boyfriend; Gregory Andrews in Ravenclaw. First kiss; that 7th year Gryffindor, David Spinnet, first tongue, Michael Fenton from Hufflepuff, first love; Sirius Black, and first 'time', hasn't been one."
"You were right." Sirius stated, "I didn't like that. Except for the part about me"
"Relax anyway, I gave up dating in 4th year, unlike someone I could mention." Jenny sharply replied. "Anyhoo, Sirius, truth or dare?"
"I'll have a truth this time."
"Fine then, name all your firsts."
"If you're sure, but you might end up hitting me… first crush, Jane Asher, the 'it' girl. First girlfriend; Selena Insidia, 5th year Slytherin, first kiss; Miranda Elvin in Ravenclaw, first tongue; Wendy Mitchell from Hufflepuff, first love; Jennifer Black, I mean, Le Fae, and first 'time'; Michelin Derbyshire at Salem witches institute in America."
"You were right, you know."
"How?"
"I am gonna end up hitting you. How could you (whack) do it with a girl (whack) and then never speak to her again (whack) and Selena Insidia (whack) she's a bloody (whack) Slytherin!"
"Oww, please don't hurt me any more!" Sirius whimpered. Jenny was a very good aim, and she'd aimed for his head.
"You boy abuser, anyway, Jamesie, Truth or Dare?" Sirius continued, still rubbing his head.
"Truth please Bob."
"Name your firsts."
"Bugger you Sirius."
"I hope not."
"First crush; Helen Carter, was a Hufflepuff, left last year, first girlfriend; Eleanor Nissen, a muggle, first kiss; Nicola Mansion in Ravenclaw, first tongue; first love; the one and only Lilums, and first 'time'; hasn't been one. Now Lily, truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"Name your firsts."
"I said dare!"
"So? I dare you to name all your firsts!"
"Bastard, I don't know, bloody git." She muttered to herself. But to the rest she said,
"First crush; George Harrison, first boyfriend; Aaron Mendeylev in Hufflepuff, first kiss; James, first tongue; none. First love; Jamesie boy, and first time; none."]
"Squeaky clean, aren't you Lils?" Jenny commented, sarcastically. "By the way, is anyone getting tired, coz I sure am?"
"Know how you feel sis." Lily replied, accompanied by a huge yawn. The girls rose, and made a move to leave, the boys kissed their girlfriends goodnight, and the girls returned to the tower, leaving the boys behind.
"Guess what, guess what, guess whaat!!" Jenny sang across the breakfast table at her 7 friends. "My parents are away for the summer, so my brother and his wife are coming over! That means you guys can come to my house for the summer!"
"Your brother has a wife? How old is he?" Queried Remus.
"Yes he does, and he's 22 in August." Was the reply.
"Why couldn't we stay at yours anyway?" Asked Sirius confusedly.
"I'll answer, Jenny's parents are dark arts freaks, like your parents, except worse." Lily answered. "And they hate anyone who isn't a dark arts freak."
"Anyway, I'll be able to have all you guys at my house for weeks! We can see the lake, and the merpeople, and the unicorns, and the dragons!" Jenny continued, bouncing up and down in excitement.
"You have Dragons near your house? Where do you live?" Asked James, incredulously.
"On the mystical Isle of Avalon. It's unplottable, so it's ministry approved for a dragon sanctuary."
"Where is Avalon?" Was Peter's confused question.
"In the sea between Britain and Ireland. It was where King Arthur was laid to rest. It's fantastic!" Jenny replied. "And I bet we'll have a lot of fun."
"Sirius Black! What the hell is your…" But Sirius didn't let her finish. He cupped her face in his hands and kissed her forcefully. When Jenny finally pulled away, she continued,
"Problem? Oh, what the hell!" And kissed him back.
