CHAPTER 6: YOU SAY HOGGY, I SAY WARTY

The Marauders and the Girlies were flopped along the shoreline of the lake, summer was showing its biggest sign of life since August and it was hotter then hot, so the entire student population was milling about. Sirius was lying on his back, hands behind his back, shirt off and sweating profusely, and it was attracting quite the amount of girl's gaping. Remus was sitting under the shade of the tree, a muscle tank top on and a pair of low-cut shorts that showed off his boxers. Peter, (who wasn't attracting very much attention) sat in cut-off jeans and a t-shirt. The Girlies were all spread out in a little circle on their stomachs. They were attracting quite a big amount of attention from guys, mostly because of their matching, cute little American outfits that Caitie had bought them all over summer vacation. They all had on a different colored tube-top that barely reached to their bellybuttons (Caitie had a diamond stud in hers) and either white or tan cargo tiny, tiny shorts. They were talking lazily, occasionally splashing each other with water, and the boys especially liked this.
All of the sudden James caught the eye of a fiery red-headed girl, who was chatting animatedly with a brown-haired girl who wore glasses and a tall, thin blonde girl who would be considered pretty if she did not have warts on her fingers, toes and chin. James jumped up and brushed himself off, pushed his fingers through his already sexily messed-up hair and walked, or rather, sauntered grandly so that the whole of Hogwarts was watching him.
"Hey! Evans!" he shouted in what he considered his most sexy voice. Lily turned around half-heartedly, a glare already creeping onto her face. The two girls turned around and stood behind her, as if to provide moral and physical support.
"What the hell do you want, James?" she asked disdainfully, and his grin faltered a little, but it came back nonetheless.
"What do I always want, my lovely Lily flower?" Lily's hands balled into fists and the brown haired girl was practically shooting daggers at him through her glasses, "I want you to go out with me, love and cherish me, and live happily ever after together, Evans."
Lily almost looked as if she was going to break into a grin, but caught herself and just glared at him even more.
"So I'll take that as a yes, then," He said happily, walking over to her and putting his arm around her waist.
By this point practically the whole grounds had stopped what they were doing and were staring avidly at the odd scene taking place before them, and Sirius had walked over to James' side. Lily did not mean yes, though, and promptly pushed him away from her in disgust.
"I'd die before going out with you, you arrogant little asshole!" James looked temporarily speechless. He had never been turned down by a girl before though, well, yes he had, Lily turned him down nearly every day, but not in front of the whole Hogwarts student body before. Pride hurt, he tried another, much less daft route.
"I don't think that's true, Evans. I mean, you might not want to admit it, but I know you had an amazing time in my bed last night, you wild, sexy beast!" He shouted so that everyone could hear, not that he needed to, it was like everyone was holding there breath to see what happened next.
"POTTER! YOU ARE SUCH A FUCKING ASSHOLE AND I SWEAR IF I NEVER TALK TO YOU, SEE YOU, OR HEAR YOU AGAIN I'LL BE SO GOD DAMNED HAPPY. YOU ARE ARROGANT AND A COMPLETE JERK AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO CRACK YOU HEAD OPEN AND KNOCK SOME SENSE INTO IT, AND I'LL GLADLY BE THE ONE YOU ARE NOTHING SHORT OF A HOG!!" she seethed and raged at him, breathing hard and face a brilliant shade of red. James went slack-jawed and said nothing, but Sirius made one of his brilliant recoveries for him
"Well now we got the 'Hog' part, so all we need is the 'warts' and I do believe that'll be your friend right there," he said pointing to the blonde. Both Lily and James stamped away, James towards the Whomping Willow and Lily towards the castle, leaving a tear-streaked blonde, and the brown- haired girl, who Sirius remembered as being Becca.Becca something, he couldn't really remember that much. She looked so livid she couldn't even open her mouth. But she didn't have to. All she had to do was pick up her fist and give him a really hard punch in the jaw and a good kick in the balls and stomp away, leaving Sirius on the ground and moaning in pain. Everyone got her point.
*~~~*
"Well, now, that was an interesting scene," said Jessi to Remus later that day. It had gotten a little bit chilly, as evening was beginning to approach, so most had gone back inside. The only two who remained on the grounds were Jessi and Remus, talking quietly.
"Yes it was, although if you ask me, they were both kind of being prats," he said, hesitating, not really sure how she was going to react. Jessi seemed to be the least stuck-up out of the group of Girlies, but he hadn't really talked to her one-on-one in awhile, so he couldn't really be sure.
"Definitely. James totally disrespected Lily, and even though I don't like her, no woman or girl should be disrespected in that way. And Sirius shouldn't have said that at all, or he should've at least waited 'till she wasn't around.
"Yeah, well, they're kind of 'in-the-moment' guys, they don't really think before they speak.or act for that matter," he trailed off, deep in thought. Jessi nodded and rolled over on her back.
"Hey, look, the sun's setting, it's always so pretty." She patted the ground next to her, "Here, sit right here so you can see it properly." He moved over mutely and they sat and watched as the sun set.
For a few minutes after they just sat in complete awe, until Jessi broke the silence, and said rather timidly,
"It's so beautiful that it brings tears to my eyes sometimes. It makes me feel really small, and insignificant. I'm just a little dot compared to that great big sun, that has so much power and so much beauty, but it can destroy so many things and people. It has the ability to make people warm, it has the ability to burn them. It's so complicated," she finished, looking at Remus, hoping he wouldn't think her a complete nutter.
"Yes, it is," he said and she smiled, relieved, "It's almost scary to think about. But people can be like that too. So strong and so beautiful, yet they can destroy themselves or other people so easily. It's a beautiful tragedy." They lapsed into silence for a few minutes, completely wrapped in there own thought, until Lupin realized Jessi was shivering.
"C'mon, let's go in," he said, and put his arm around her shoulders and they walked inside.
