Chapter Three…Long awaited Doom
The Marauders sat in Lily's dark green den for a few hours. James in her father's favorite rocker, Sirius on the floor right in front of the Television, Peter on the couch sitting as straight as humanly possible, and Remus sitting on the couch, between Peter and Lily.
The Television was turned on cartoons until Lily could stand it no longer and turned it to the Discovery Channel to watch Unsolved Mysteries.
"Personally, Lily, I think your sister is an unsolved mystery," Sirius said without caring if Lily's hot temper flared up again.
"SHHHHH! She can hear you!" She said in a complete whisper.
Remus looked at his wristwatch, "It's nearly one o'clock. I think we should make lunch right about now."
"Right, right," Lily was striding into the kitchen to fetch them some ham sandwiches when little Petunia hoped down the stairs. She turned right on Sirius, sat in his lap, and whispered in his ear, "If I wanted to hurt you in particular, I would've already done it."
Sirius just grinned sheepishly and ran into the kitchen into the safety of Lily. When Sirius bumped into her, she looked him straight in the eye and said, "She must like you a lot, Sirius."
"Yea. That's what I'm afraid of," He grinned at her and walked back to the den.
Lily came back into the den about five minutes later with a plate full of ham sandwiches. The Marauders grinned at each other and chowed down while dainty little Petunia snatched one and took it back up to her room.
"A little ball of happiness, isn't she?" James asked Lily putting his arm around her shoulders.
"Yes," she replied, removing his arm, "She really is."
A/N-Don't ya just love me for takin' so damn long? LMAO! Anyway, I thought it would add suspense to it! All right, I get it; I'll never take THAT long again. I was just getting' lazy to tell you the honest truth.
