*~*~* Chapter 2: Please Forgive me. *~*~*
Lily went to bed late that night. Tomorrow was a Sunday so she could sleep in.
It was 2 in the morning when Lily was woken up by a scream.
"Sorry Arabella I was looking for Lily's bed." a familiar voice said. A hand flew up and pointed to the bed next to her. Lily suddenly realised that this person was Sirius. As Sirius walked over to lily's bed, Arabella sat up suddenly understanding who he wanted to see.
"But Sirius, Lily is just another one of your prank victims. Why do you want to speak to her?" She asked looking more and more awake. Arabella was a very popular person that did not approve of what the Marauders did. Especially on a fellow Gryffindor.
"Arabella Shh. I need to talk to Lily. This is no prank." Sirius said firmly. She quickly got up and pushed Sirius away. Since she was the only one that said 'hi' to Lily she knew she was a light sleeper and was already awake.
"First I want to know what's it about before I let you wake Lily." She told him firmly.
"Ok I want to apologise for what I did it was really mean what we used to do and I guess I just went along with it because it was either that or I had no friends. I'm really ashamed of myself." Sirius bowed his head.
"Why Sirius Black. I never knew you would care so much about me." Lily said. Sirius spun around to see a smiling Lily looking at her.
"You…you…you heard that?" Sirius stuttered.
"Yes and I'm very glad I did. I don't think you could've gotten that out of you again." Lily was still smiling with wide eyes.
"I didn't think anyone cared about my feelings." She admitted.
"Are you kidding me. If I wasn't always told what to do I would've tried to befriend you ages ago." Arabella told her.
"Nobody has to tell you what to do." Lily assured her.
"Well then will you be my friend Lily Evans?"
"I would love to be." Lily replied with a giggle.
"Oo…Oo…me to…me to." Sirius jumped up and down
"Of course you to." Lily told him
"Wow I should have done this years ago. It feels great." Arabella said
"You feel good because you did something for yourself for a change." Lily told her.
"Well it still feels great." Both Arabella and Sirius said at the same time.
They all burst into laughter. Not long after that Sirius left back to his dorm.
*~*~* Later That Day *~*~*
"Hey Sirius, where did you go last night? Because I heard you leave and I heard you come back. You didn't sneak into the girls dorms again to see Stephanie did you?" A curious James asked through breakfast.
"Well mate I did go to the girls dorms but not to see Stephanie." Sirius said as plainly as could be.
"Well then why did you go up there?" Remus asked.
"Isn't it obvious, Sirius likes someone else." Peter said matter-of-fatly
"I do not. Don't jump to conclusions." Sirius snapped
"Well…?" James, Remus and Peter all said at the same time
"Well what?"
"Well why did you go up there?" James told him. Irritation in his voice.
"Oh… I went to see Lily. I went to ask for her forgiveness." He said quite slowly.
"WHAT" Everyone yelled all for different reasons (James because he talked to Evans, Remus because he talked to Lily, Peter because he talked to Lily.) causing the whole hall to look at them.
"What are you looking at?" James yelled at them.
"Well I asked her for her forgiveness and she said yes. Arabella was there as well. Look there they are sitting together." He pointed to his fellow Marauders to Lily and Arabella sitting and talking like they have been best friends forever.
"Well bye guys." Said Remus and he walked over to Lily and started talking to her.
*~*~* Over with Lily *~*~*
"Hi Lily." Remus said.
"Hey Remus. What's up?" She said so bright and bubbly that it was like there was nothing wrong with her.
"Well um…um…um…um…" He stuttered.
"Hurry up Remus. I'm taking Lily out to Hogsmeade today and we don't want to be late." Arabella told him.
"Right well for some odd reason I cant get the words out so you go off and I'll catch up with you later. Bye." And with that he turned and went back to the Marauders.
'What is the matter with me?' Remus thought. 'I can usually talk to Lily. Oh well, I'll just have to try again later. Hopefully I won't have second thoughts. I just am afraid she will say no. I mean after all the things I've done to her.'
"Hey Remus what happened?" Sirius had knocked him from his thoughts.
"Oh nothing. Hey I just thought of a great prank we could play on Snape and Malfoy." With those words, they all huddled in close together to discuss the plan.
*~*~* Later That Night *~*~*
"Ok so you know what to do?" James asked
"Yes" he heard from three voices.
"Right, the minute Snape goes for a bath Sirius will follow him. Then while he is out of the way we go find Malfoy. Sirius you have to set the charm 9:00 sharp. Snape will be in the bath so it shouldn't be hard. Remus once we have found Malfoy, you will charm him, Peter will charm his clothes and I will charm he brain. This will be the best prank ever…"
A/N: Ok well that's it for the second chapter. If any of you ask me what the prank is I will never tell you. You will just have to wait…* Readers give a SIGH Now! *… Now I would like to thank all my reviewer's and I'd like to say that this story will go on until I finish it. Even if starts to sound really bad. (But thanks to my reviews it probably wont) but anyway. Please review and I will start the next chapter tonight.
