Oh God, I have been so busy and I forgot about this fic so sorry if this takes a while.
Puffy Marshmallow: I hate science, also. ARGH! But none of them could be as bad as my Geography teacher. *Shudders* Thanks for the review!
dweem-angel: Thanks for telling me that you love it! Please review again!
toysintheattic7: I hope you weren't too loud… I'm giving myself WAY too much credit.
the watcher in the water: I've already given you a response to what you said.
Cap'n Phoenix: That's okay! My Mum is a lot better but I do need to help her a lot, thanks for caring!
lildaemongurl (queen of sprinkelz): No, they cannot fly but that doesn't mean that Sirius can't tease them about it! ^_^
Samara-Morgan-101: I know, poooor Sirius.
sora-doragon: Out of interest what do you think happened between them? I swear, it's just out of pure curiosity!
roytyoiuyreiuipyt6rihjfddsyghiuyyeuiuyytulktdkyteuj: Not long if you copy and paste it like I do! :D
Raven176: You'll have to wait and see!
veld: Thanks for the reviews, I really appreciate them.
For those who have commented about my Mum, like I was saying to Cap'n Phoenix, she a lot better but I have to help around the house a lot more than I used to. She can't even bend down in case she dislocates her hip!
No!
"Please tell me," Alice pleaded in a baby voice.
"No!" Sirius shouted. "Do you WANT to get your feet washed or not?" Alice nodded. "Then shut up!" Alice screwed her eyes and made her face go red.
"Sirius is getting irritable." She did a fake cry. "Frank won't be happy."
Sirius swore under his breath and kept rubbing her feet.
"I think I'd better go now," said Peter running into Lily's room. He heard what sounded like a hair dryer. Burrrrrrr. Peter entered and saw Lily having the time of her life. She was laughing like crazy while Remus was brushing her hair.
"W-what is wrong with Lily?" Peter dared to ask.
"A tickling charm," replied Remus with a grin. Lily now had tears running down her face. "Do you give in?"
"Y-yes – giggle – please." Remus muttered the counter curse and the burring stopped but the giggling did not.
"It's not working," said Remus.
"R-R-Remus, p-please – giggle – t-t-tell me that y-y-you're kidding. Please?"
"I don't know what's wrong, it should be working," said Remus sounding very perplexed. "Hey, where's Peter?"
Peter was nowhere in sight. Remus shrugged his shoulders and examined his wand.
"I t-t-told you that – giggle – the ssssound your w-w-wand – giggle – was making wasn't right!" said Lily with a slight smirk on her face. "But no, you w-w-wouldn't llllisten – giggle – would y-you?"
Remus raised an eyebrow and said, "Just let it out, Lily. I know you want to laugh."
Lily burst out laughing. "Y-you're a t-t-tease, you kn-kn-know – giggle – that, Llllupin."
Remus raised an eyebrow again. "I really do not know why the counter curse isn't working."
"I-I-I do!" said Lily. "It's y-y-your terrible wand's – giggle – f-fault that I-I can't ssstop lllaughing."
Meanwhile, Mrs. Longbottom was listening in on Remus and Lily's conversation. Although she could only hear snippets she (thought that she) could tell what they were on about. Poor James! Imagine being cheated like that, with one of his best friends too! Mrs. Longbottom couldn't imagine what she'd do if her husband cheated on her with her friend.
"Llllet's talk!" cried Lily.
"What do you call this?" Remus asked.
"No, I-I mean let's really talk," she replied.
"About what?" Remus queried.
"Hmm, love," she responded. "What about you?"
"What about me?"
"How is your love life?"
"You really beat around the bush, don't you?" Remus said sarcastically.
"But I'm booooooored," whined Lily.
"You sound like Sirius."
"Well, Sirius always comes around our house so I guess I picked it up from Sirius," answered Lily. "That's not the point! Anyway, how is your love life?"
"You haven't giggled or stuttered for ages."
"Shut up!" said Lily. "Quit changing the subject!"
"Oh, I didn't know we were still at Hogwarts."
"Remus!"
"Fine, fine… I'm bored," he said trying to get away with it.
"You are answering this question if it's the last thing I do!"
"Okay, okay, don't get irritable!" said Remus.
That is familiar. Thought Mrs. Longbottom, now where had she heard that line before?
"I think I know what you would do if you could change one thing about your love life," said Lily eyeing Remus.
"If you knew then why did you bother to ask me?" Remus growled.
"I was just checking!" defended Lily. "Besides, I might be wrong."
"I think that you'll be right," said Remus.
"Okay, is your object of your affections still the person who you went out with in the sixth and seventh year?" Lily asked.
"I'm not sure," replied Remus. "I think it is but…"
"You'd rather eat a book," suggested Lily.
Remus looked shocked at very thought of it. "That's one way of putting it? Why are you so interested in my love life?" he asked sarcastically.
So they joke about it, thought Mrs. Longbottom. Then she heard, "Remus! Just admit it!" So they were arguing about something, maybe James didn't have anything to worry about at all.
"No! Or I'll tickle you with my bare hands!" Maybe not, Mrs. Longbottom wondered if the baby that Lily was carrying was James' or not.
"Oh no! Oh great master tickler! But I've heard that you're sometimes the tickled!"
"Whoever gave you that idea?"
"I reliable source!"
"Riiiiiight."
"Shut up or I'll go into labour!" threatened Lily.
"You can't make yourself go into labour," replied Remus. "Is it me or have you gotten more immature since I last visited you and James?"
"I dunno," she said. "I guess I picked it up from James."
Lily suddenly threw up. "That was nice," joked Remus.
Lily wiped her mouth and said, "Don't even joke about it, Remus. I hate throwing up."
Remus cleaned the room using a cleaning charm (duh!) and said afterwards, "I'll go see if Sirius needs help with anything, okay? If you need anything then just shout."
Lily grinned and nodded.
***
When Remus had gotten to where Sirius was everyone had gone downstairs to watch TV so he spent half the time just looking for them when he found them Sirius gave the usual routine of giving Remus a giant hug that could rival anyone. Remus hugged back, (but not quite as powerful as Sirius' (*)) and asked where everyone was.
"Why do you have to talk with everyone? What's wrong with meeeeeee?" Sirius whined.
"Nothing is wrong with you," assured Remus. "But I enjoy socialising with other people as well."
Sirius heard the back door open. Peter was gone and Mrs. Longbottom's things had disappeared.
Traitors!
***
I know what you're thinking, I didn't get any of the characters to pranks Mrs. Longbottom… yet. *Grins evilly*
(*) I included this particular sentence for two reasons. One is because I think that Remus and Sirius always greet each other with a hug and like usual in this fic it is usually Sirius who does the hugging. However, it is Remus who hugs Sirius in the Shrieking Shack so Remus is showing that he cares. Do you get what I mean?
