Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, and probably never will, although I
am constantly sending J.K. Rowling owls telling her to leave Harry Potter
to me when she dies, but I don't get any responses. I wonder why?
Authors Note: Sorry I haven't updated. I'm not gonna make up excuses, I'm just going to say that I am lazy, because I am. Sorry that it took so long!! Also, in the last chapter, I said that both boats were to the right of them, but Remus and Selina's boat is to the left of them! Sorry!

Across the Lake part three
Hagrid stopped everyone while he waited for the slower boats to catch up again. James and Lily were still next to Sirius and Remus's boats. The boats kept tapping each other lightly and James got an idea.
Sirius was still busy sucking face with Amanda to care, so James started to rock his and Lily's boat. He started wailing like he was sick.
"Argh... Ooooh" He moaned in fake agony.
Lily peered at him suspiciously. "What are you doing Potter?!" Her knuckles were white from clinging to the side of the boat. "Sit down. Stop rocking the boat. You're not sick."
He peered at her good naturally and moaned again. Then he stood up and started rocking the boat even worse. He leaned to the right and fell into Sirius' boat and caused it to tip, throwing Sirius, Amanda, Lily and James into the water.
James was underwater, and he went under Remus' boat and tipped that too. It worked out perfectly. He tipped Remus and Selina to the left, and on the way in, they fell into Marissa and Peter's boat causing them to tip.
James came up spouting water, and laughing hysterically looking very pleased with himself. He had managed to get 8 people into the water on one go. A new Hogwarts record he was sure.
Sirius came up and tried lunging at James, but James dove under before Sirius could reach him. James came up about 15 feet away from where he was before and turned to Sirius. "Come on Padfoot. It was just a joke. New record I'm sure."
Sirius shook his head and broke into a grin. "Probably, but Amanda and I were busy. Why couldn't you wait?" he whined.
James gave him a false pitying look and said, "Poor baby. Get over it." Sirius guffawed and James left him smiling. Everyone started to laugh. Everyone except a certain fiery red head, that is. Lily was treading water with a scowl on her face.
Just then, the boats were tipped upright, and Lily was up out of the water. She was screaming and flailing like mad when the tentacle dropped her lightly into the boat. The giant squid picked up all of the other 7th year students who were stuck in the water and placed them back in their respectable boats.
James pushed his soaking black hair out of his eyes, and was wearing a look that could tell that he was very pleased with himself. He looked around to make sure everyone was back in their boats and then turned to Lily. He had hoped she would regard it as a joke and be smiling, but his hopes were dashed. If looks could kill, James would be a dead man.
"Lily, it was just a joke. Nobody got hurt did they?"
She gave an almost inaudiable "Hmph" and turned and ignored him for the rest of the ride.
The boat bumped the shore. James stepped out and onto land. He held his hand out to help Lily but she refused. She got out of the boat a little too quickley and slipped. She almost fell on her back, but James caught her easily in his arms. She got up quickly, ignoring James' strong arms before she got too comfortable.
"Lily, come on. Talk to me. I'm sorry?" James asked hopefully.
She turned quickly to face him, her emerald green eyes flashing. "You're sorry? YOU'RE SORRY! Well Mr. Big Shot Quidditch star, I have some news for you! Sorry isn't going to cut it! Not this time. You walk around school like you're a freaking God or something, rumpling your hair to make it look like you just came off the quidditch pitch. You hex anyone you see, just because you can and you have half of the school practically bowing down to worship the ground you walk on! You are the most arrogant prick I have ever seen in my entire life. I can't believe I even considered saying yes to you when you asked me out! You're head is so swollen I can't believe your "top notch" broomstick can even leave the ground!" Lily shrieked.
"So, you would've gone out with me if I asked you?" James asked slyly.
"You conceited twit!" Lily let out a cry of exasperation and turned away from James, only to be faced by the entire student body. "There's nothing to see here! Into the Great Hall. All of you! Now!!" Lily snapped.
Sirius then decided to take it upon himself and called out "You're new Head Boy and Girl! This is going to be an interesting year!" Everyone laughed, but stopped when they caught the look on Lily's face. They turned and trudged into the Great Hall.
Sirius was still laughing when James came up to him chortling himself. "That was interesting, wouldn't you say? What do you think she means?" James asked, staring in awe at Lily's retreating back.
"Difficult to say, but reading between the lines, I'd say she thinks you're a bit conceited mate."
James gave Sirius a look of disbelief. "You really think so?" He thought for a minute then answered his own question. "Nah, can't be. That girl is in love with me. You'll see. We'll get married some day."
"Yea, yea. And we'll all live happily ever after," said Remus coming up behind them with Selina. "Hurry up or we'll miss the sorting."

Authors Note: Ok, a little longer than usual. I hope. Anyway, the funny thing is about that last line of dialogue, everyone will live happily ever after. but I'll never tell how!! LOL. At least not until later. Well, I'm really lazy so I'm not updating as much as I could. Lately I've been working on a 32 page report about what else. Harry Potter! I get to write about the history and mythology behind everything. I'll have a website up soon with my information and report and everything, just in case you were interested in reading. It's due on Halloween, so after that I can get to updating even more. Dearc Allise, thanks for all the good reviews! YAY! Also, I'm thinking of changing my pen name to Moony something. I dunno yet. I'll have all the same stories, but a different name. Read my friend Laurens' story called "Harry Potter and the Vial of Hope." Her pen name is crewchic137. Read it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL. We're going to write a story together. she doesn't know it yet though. All right, well 3 day weekend coming up, so I'll type as much as I can! Bye!
Moony
