Authors Note: Ok. I haven't gotten any reviews on my last chapter yet.
Either you guys hate it, or no one has read it yet. Any way, I've decided
to keep dividing chapters into three parts. It's easier to type and update.
Review!

Across the Lake part two
Lily and James rode in silence for a few minutes, and then the Hogwarts castle came into view. "Wow." Lily breathed in amazement. "I've forgotten how beautiful and miraculous it looks from down here."
"It really is something." James added staring. "Hard to believe that at one time, this was just wood and rock."
Lily turned to him. "Well I'm glad you can appreciate real beauty."
James looked taken back. "Are you crazy? Of course I can appreciate real beauty. I like you. Remember?"
Lily smiled bashfully then turned to hide her scarlet face. She wasn't used to getting compliments from James Potter. In order to change the subject, she turned back to James and asked "Seriously, why were you picked to be Head Boy. No offense, but you aren't the best role model."
James looked hurt and said "Moi? Not the best role model? I'm hurt!" He laughed, but then his face turned serious. "Honestly, I don't know why Dumbledore picked me. Maybe because I got 12 O.W.L.s. I'm not really sure."
"12 O.W.L.s? Wow. I didn't know you got that many. When I heard you and Sirius talking you said you only got 6."
James grinned sheepishly. "Well, I didn't want him to think I was that smart or anything, so I lied."
Lily grinned. "Lying to your best mate. Tsk tsk tsk."
James laughed. "It was for his own good." The two of them started laughing, but stopped when they reached the rest of the students out in the middle of the lake.
"Bout time you two." Sirius said, unattaching himself from Amanda. "What were you doing? Supervising the little kids? I can see it now. It'll be the same when you two get married and there are tons of little Potters running around." Sirius laughed at his own joke. Lily turned scarlet again. She was just about to say something, but Sirius and Amanda went back to their game of tonsil hockey.
The two boats tapped each other lightly while they waited for the slower boats to catch up. Lily and James were in the middle of Sirius and Remus' boats. Remus and Selina were sitting to their right still talking about the book. Sirius and Amanda were sucking each others faces off to the right of them, and Peter and Marissa were to the left of Remus and Selina. Marissa kept trying to hold Peter's hand, but he wouldn't let her. James caught that and nudged Lily. "Either your friend has absolutely no sex appeal, or Peter hasn't been this close to a member of the opposite sex since he was born." He whispered. Lily giggled lightly.
At that moment, the rest of the boats had caught up and Hagrid yelled "E'ry one here? Good. Forward!" The boats lurched forward.
Lily and James continued polite conversation. James brought up the thestrals. "Hagrid said the Thestrals are gone on important business. What are thestrals?"
Lily went into her genius mode and said "Thestrals are winged horses. I guess they're supposed to be really bad luck. I read somewhere that you can only see them if you die, otherwise they're invisible."
"Oh. Then they must pull the school carriages right?"
'"Probably. I've never seen anyone die, so I don't know for sure but if we can't take the carriages because the thestrals are gone, it makes sense to assume that the thestrals pull the carriages." Lily said that all very fast and in one breath.
They sat in silence for a moment before James voiced what they had both been thinking. "What kind of important business?"
Lily shook her head. "I don't know. We'll find out soon enough I guess."

Authors Note: There you go. Second part of the third chapter. Sorry if it seems like I'm rambling on. This is just a bunch of fluff I guess. It gets better in the next installment. Just some foreshadowing stuff. The fact that Amanda and Sirius were sucking each others faces off could come back to haunt them. There is a reason Amanda's last name hasn't been mentioned yet. It doesn't take a genius to figure out where the thestrals are. If Voldemort is rising around this time. where do you think they could be? That's why I put so much emphasis on the thestrals. They are pretty important. Also, the boats tapping each other aren't really foreshadowing, but it's a reference to something funny coming up in the next chapter thing. I need a name of something that Argus Filch has to ban from Hogwarts. Kind of like Ever Bashing Boom-a-rangs, but not that. Something made up. Leave it n a review and if I use it, I promise to credit you!! Read and Review!!!
