=Chapter 14=
'Damn! I'm late!' Lily thought to herself as she ran into the Great Hall. Carrying her shoes and books, she took a seat between Ness and Belle, "So hungry… 10 minutes before classes!"
"You're lucky I'm here," Ness muttered, handing a plate filled with eggs, toast, and 2 sausages to Lily, "I had to wrestle a few people to make sure you got a balanced breakfast.
"Thanks, Ness," Lily said, taking up a spork. She stuffed the sausages into her mouth and took a bite of her eggs before saying, "James! Pass me the ketchup, will you?"
At this, Sirius spit out the orange juice in his mouth, "James? WOMAN! ARE YOU DRUNK?!"
Lily ignored him. "Ah, getting close with my best friend, are we? How close have you gotten? Second, Third Base? Oh, wait! HOMERUN!"
Everyone in the Great Hall looked at him as he stood up and his seat and began to dance. Lily just glared as Peter, Remus, and James clapped their hands to the beat their friend was going.
"Did I get any mail?" Lily asked, finishing off her eggs.
"Oh, yeah!" Belle took out two packages, "I had to take away this from those blasted owls! They wouldn't stop pecking me. By the way, you owe me money!"
"I'll pay you back later!" Lily said, taking her packages. The first one read:
'Dearest Lily-kins,
We miss you so much! How's school going? We're sorry, we didn't know what to get you, so we just got you these items and taught Nick how to owl you! We hope you like them, and have a happy birthday!
Love,
Mom, Dad, and Petunia'
'Petunia,' Lily thought bitterly to herself, 'It's not even in her handwriting!' She tore open the first package. It was a book called, 'Magic Spells to use Muggle Items.' Lily smiled to herself as she looked through the table of contents, 'Chapter 3: How to play records, Chapter 4: How to Listen to Muggle News, Chapter 5: How to have a temporary computer…' She then remembered the package from Nick:
'Dear Lils,
Have a happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy BIRTHDAY! Sorry, I didn't know what to get you, so I just got you these! I hope to see you soon, and best wishes on meeting some guys!
Your beloved, beautiful, handsome, magnificent, amazing, surprising, ETC cousin,
Nick'
Opening the package, she found albums including the Turtles, the Monkees, and the album to her favorite Broadway show: Chicago.
"I'll go put these upstairs, and see you in class," Lily said with a sweet smile on her face.
=
"I'll go put these upstairs, and see you in class," Lily said with a sweet smile on her face. She then got up and ran out.
"Okay," James said, pulling out a parchment with instructions written all over it, "Time to commence operation Surprise Birthday Party, or SBP for short!"
"Roger," The group of people around him said.
=
First of all, we'll need to do something that not only will stop the last class from happening, but will also distract all the teachers.
Sirius quietly ran past Hagrid's hut Reaching out to the animal behind it, he took a bow. He then walked up to it and-
=
"YEE-HAW!" Sirius's voice rang throughout the whole school. "HI- HO YOU PRETTY SILVER THING, AND AWAY!" Students gathered around to see one of the famous Marauders flying around on a Hippogriff.
Next we gotta make sure Lily will be distracted for a whole day. She can't walk in on our plan, and she can't follow anyone other than that person.
"Lily!" Ness said running up to her friend, "What's going on? Is this some kind of a prank?"
"No clue!" Lily said, eyeing Sirius.
"I need help on that new charm we learned! Do you think you could help me?"
"Why not," Lily said, "Professor Flitwick will probably let us use his classroom right now. Let's go!"
=
We especially need to make sure that everyone is in the crowds and no one is using the room of requirement.
Belle watched Ness and Lily walk away, and quickly sprinted towards the Room of Requirement. She walked passed it three times thinking of a nice decorated room for a birthday party. She looked inside, making sure no one was learning a lesson on their own. "Score," she smiled to herself and took out a portable mirror. Quickly, she started shining some light on it.
=
Remus stared from across the hall to a glimmering light that was Belle's mirror, A/K/A, the it's all clear signal.
We need to make sure we have all the foods for a good party. Every good thing for a nice birthday, get it!
He quickly sprinted down the hall filled with pictures of fruits. Going up to a specific bowl, he tickled the pear and entered.
Peter walked up to him and held out an arm full of different foods.
=
We'll also need people. It would be dull if it were only us going! Make sure you get people that Lily is fond of!
Alice and Frank walked through the crowds in search of worthy people. Whispering instructions of what to do after 10 minutes, a pastry came down and hit Alice on the head.
"The sign," Alice grinned, "Frank! Go!"
They ran in different directions. Frank sped through the crowds and finally found James, leaning against a pillar, "All set," he breathed heavily.
"Good," James gave a thumbs up to Sirius. Sirius pulled out James's Invisibility cloak and wrapped it around himself and the Hippogriff.
=
As soon as all that is done, make sure to contact Ness and Lily.
Alice ran into the Charms classroom, and then up to Ness, "Ness! LILY!" She breathed heavily, "My diary disappeared from the dorm!"
"WHAT?" Both girls yelled and sped towards the common room.
=
"Nothing," Lily sighed as she put a pillow back, "Are you sure you tried the summoning spell?"
"Sure as sure can be," Alice murmured. Her eyes brightened up, "Ness! Let's go to the great hall! Maybe I left it back from there!"
"Good idea," Ness clapped her hands in merriment, "Lily, stay here just in case you find a guy carrying it!"
"Sure," Lily said, "Good luck"
=
The rest of it is my job. Just get everything ready.
Lily sighed to herself, 'They must've forgotten my birthday.' She wore her old school uniform. It was the last thing she wore when she last shared her birthday with her family. 'Can't blame them, though. There has been a lot going around on Hogwarts lately, anyhow.' She sighed again.
"Why the gloomy face?" Lily was so surprised she jumped. Looking up, she saw James Potter looking down at her, "Nice outfit."
"Whatever," Lily said looking back down at her book.
"You never answered my question," James walked towards her, "Why the gloomy face?"
"None of your business," Lily snapped back. "Sorry," she mumbled. 'It's not his fault no one remembered my birthday.'
"Then I'll make it my business," He grabbed her wrist and they sped off.
=
Passing many classrooms, James turned around and walked again. Then he turned around and walked.
"Lost your path?" Lily asked sounding amused.
"Never do," James said turning around and walking towards a door that just appeared. Opening it, all they saw was darkness.
Lily was very confused now. "Are you sure you didn't lose your path?" and then-
"SURPRISE!"
The lights went on to reveal many Gryffindors, a few Hufflepuffs, a few Ravenclaws, and no Slytherins.
"You-You-You-" Lily began to stutter, "You Remembered? Or is this some sad prank?"
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY LILY!" The crowd cheered.
=
"Thanks again," Lily repeated for the umpteenth time that night. It was now 10:00 PM, and everyone was escorted back to their common rooms (for being drunk) or just left. James and Lily stayed back to help with the cleaning, and (happily) they were almost done.
"If I had a knut for every time you said that phrase tonight, I'd be rich!" He laughed, picking up one of the last scraps.
"You're already rich, if you hadn't noticed," Lily responded pointing to the very expensive dress robes he was wearing.
"Yeah, right," he replied sarcastically. Then eyes brightening up he walked over and asked, "Say, why don't you go out with me for a thank you?"
Lily laughed silently and shoved the last of the scraps into his hands, "Never in your life," and she ran off.
"Odd girl," he muttered to himself, "Cleaning up the room of requirement."
