Shrieking Shack part three

For the second time in a week, Lily and James were woken up by annoying prodding. Lily was the first to wake and when she saw who it was, she jumped up and gave them both hugs. Sirius Black and Remus Lupin were looking down at them with amused expressions on their faces.

Lily hugged Sirius first, then moved to Remus. "She hugged him very tightly, then burst into tears again. "Oh Remus! I'm such a horrible friend! I should have known!"

Remus was patting her head awkwardly, then embraced her in his arms. "You aren't a horrible friend. I'm glad you didn't know. Don't tell Selina though, okay?"

"Of course!" Lily let go of Remus and turned to look at James. He wasn't awake yet. When Sirius had poked him, he had just rolled over and mumbled, "Mum, give me another five minutes." Lily crawled back on the bed and started tickling him. He eventually rolled over and started tickling back, before realizing that Remus and Sirius were standing right there. He got up hurriedly, readjusted his glasses and grinned embarrassed.

"Two times in one week Prongs. I don't know about this one Lily!" James hit him over the head with a pillow and Sirius easily deflected it. "You need to watch for this one!" This time, James' pillow made contact with Sirius' head. Sirius grabbed a pillow off the bed and started attacking James.

Lily stepped between them and went to the only responsible one in the room. "Remus, what time is it?" She asked through a yawn.

"Almost ten."

"At night? Wow. This seemed a lot longer!"

Sirius lost interest in the pillow fight and looked at Lily. "Silly goose, it's ten in the morning. If it was ten at night, I'd probably be on the couch curled up with Amanda doing naughty things like-"

James hit Sirius over the head with a pillow again. "I don't want a visual Padfoot."

"Ten in the morning!" Lily shrieked. "Oh my gosh! I've missed class! I'm a horrible role model! Professor Dumbledore will revoke my title of Head Girl. I missed Arithmancy! Professor Vector will kill me! I've got to go apolog-"

Sirius cut her off. "It's Sunday Lily. Calm down a bit! I would normally still be sleeping but someone," he threw pointed glare at Remus, "decided it was necessary to pour a bucket of freezing water on my head."

Remus was looking away, pointedly ignoring Sirius, twiddling his thumbs and whistling a random tune. "Huh? What? All I heard was, 'Blah blah blah, I'm a lazy git.'" Sirius snarled and lunged himself at a pillow so he could hit Remus with it. James stopped him and motioned towards the door.

"Ready to leave Lily?"

Lily was looking around the room. "Shouldn't we clean up first?"

James looked at Remus and Sirius. "What do you think they're for?"

At that, Sirius bent down and imitated a house-elf. "Anything I is doing for you sir."

James grinned at that. "See? Lets go." Lily took his arm and they walked down the hall. They distinctly heard disgruntled muttering coming from the room they had just vacated, but took no notice. They entered the trap door and when they were back on the Hogwarts grounds, James led Lily over to the lake.

Nothing was said. They just sat down in each other's arms. Everything was peaceful for about an hour until a big black dog came ambling up to them. Lily reached out to pet it, but James took her hand and told her not too. He gave an incredulous snort and muttered, "I should've known." He stood up and transformed into the stag. He and the dog got into a vivacious wrestling match.

Remus came up behind Lily. He shook his head. "Some things will never change."

Lily was looking horrorstruck. "What if James hurts that poor dog?"

Remus let out a snort of indignation. "Poor dog? That's Sirius!"

"Oh." Lily calmed down but was still looking a bit apprehensive. Remus was just about to reassure her that they did this all the time when Sirius and James transformed back into humans. They were laughing heartily.

Lily was trying to look disapproving, and failing miserably. She had managed to get something out about them being immature and irresponsible when Selina joined them. She was slightly winded. She took a moment to catch her breath. She was leaning on Remus for support.

"Dumbledore sent for you two," she said, pointing at Lily and James. "He had me search the entire school! He said it's urgent so you'd better go."

Lily and James looked at each other. Lily looked worried. James grabbed her hand and walked up to the castle.

Another thing, I'm not sure if I have my author alert thing on, so if you want to receive news about when I update, please feel free to let me know in an e-mail or review.
