Ch. 14 Double Crossing
The next morning, when Sirius, Remus, and Carly were waking from a good night's sleep in their respective beds, Lily and James were waking up to a hard bathroom floor, and stiff necks despite the pillows and sleeping bag. After a while, they began to sit up and roll their necks as to get all the creaks and pains out.
"Uh-oh." Said James.
"It's too early in the morning for uh-oh's. What's the matter?" Asked Lily groggily.
"I kind of have to use go to the bathroom."
"So go."
"But you're here. You're a girl."
"Just go, or stop complaining."
"Fine. But you better not look!"
"Ewww! Why would I want to?"
A knock came on the door a few minutes later, after both Lily and James had used the toilet.
" Good morning sleepyheads." Came Remus's way to cheerful voice.
"Good? Says who?" Lily retorted.
"Can you let us out now? Please?"
"Nope. We can't open the door. It will magically open when you ask Lily to go to the Christmas Ball with you." Carly replied.
Suddenly James got a brilliant stroke of genius.
"So you're saying that all I have to do is ask her to the ball?" James said, ignoring the questioning look on Lily's face. Suddenly she understood. "Lily, will you go to the ball with me?"
"Why of course, James. I'd love to." Replied Lily, in a sickly sweet voice. Then the door magically opened, and Lily and James stepped out of the bathroom.
"Ha, I win! I said they'd only be in there over one night. You owe me ten galleons Padfoot!" said Remus happily. Sirius grudgingly forked over ten galleons to Remus.
"You mean you not only humiliated and embarrassed us, and locked us in a bathroom, but you were betting on us too?"
"Yep. Funny how the world works isn't it? But at least you two are together now?"
"Together? Who said anything about together? Lily, did you say anything about us being together?" asked James, playing stupid.
"Nope, I don't know what they're talking about." Lily replied in a mock-confused tone.
"B-But," spluttered Carly, "you asked her to the ball!" she shrieked, pointing at James.
"So?" said Lily. "You only said he had to ask me to the ball. You never said we actually had to go together." She replied smugly.
"B-But! That's not fair!" said Sirius.
"Oh, well. That's what you get for locking us in the bathroom. You should've known we'd outsmart you somehow. Now give us back our wands before we have to hurt you.
Remus grudgingly forked over their wands, and the Lily and James proceeded down to breakfast, leaving three shocked and annoyed friends following in their wake.
