Chapter 4
'DO NOT play with fire-pokers'
It was the day after the midnight meeting and James, Lily, Sirius, and Reamus were all sitting in the common room. James was on the couch working on some potions homework. Lily was sitting in a chair by the couch trying to focus on her Arithmacy book. Sirius and Reamus were sitting in the corner of the room playing a game of chess. Lily closed her book with a loud snap and sighed.
James growled and crumpled up his Potions Essay and threw it into the fire. He had been working on it for the past half hour and all he managed to accomplish was writing Lily Potter about a billion times and drawing little hearts and tiny little snitches all over the parchment.
"So James, I hear your birthday is coming up soon," Lily said deciding to strike up on conversation.
"Yup, I'm getting to be an old geezer."
"Oh you! Your gonna be 16 for God's sake! Don't come complaining to me when your 80 with a head full gray hairs and a face full of wrinkles, and how many times do I have to tell you not to make fun of old people!"
"I don't know if I'll live to see 80 with your nagging!" James grinned.
"Its not nagging! Its constructive criticism!"
"Right---," said James sarcastically holding back laughs, "Nagging, Nagging, Nagging," James repeated over and over taunting Lily.
"Oh you! Shut your pie hole!" Lily said throwing her book at him.
"Nagging, Nagging, Nagging---"
"James Potter! I do not nag! Take that back! Or I'll-I'll---"
"Or you'll what?" James said smirking.
"Or I'll-I'll Poke you in the arse with the fire-poker thingy!" Lily said grinning as she picked up the fire poker that laid by the fireplace.
"Oh you wouldn't," James said darkly.
"Oh I would, dare me go ahead and dare me!" said Lily in the same dark tone.
"Make my day!" Challenged James with a grin.
Meanwhile Sirius was off in the corner taking bets on who was gonna win the little fire-poker battle.
"10 galleons says Lily pokes James in the arse!" Reamus betted.
"Oh your on little buddy!" Sirius smiled.
Before they knew it Lily was chasing James around the common room with the poker. James tripped over a chair and fell to the ground. Lily laughed evilly.
"Who's the clumsy one now?" Lily asked innocently, stabbing him in the butt.
"Owwwww," he said rubbing the spot where she poked him, "Oh your in for it now little missy!" he said kicking her fire-poker across the room giving him time to get himself a poker while she retrieved hers. Before you could say Snape is a greasy git Lily and James were in an all out fencing match, both of them failing to see Professor McGonagall enter. James and Lily were at each other's throats completely oblivious to McGonagall' s presence.
CRASH!
Lily tripped over the rug bringing the lamp and James down with her. Lily was on top of James, both of them breathing hard. They were so close that their noses were almost touching. Lily could feel James's warm breath on her face. They laid there for a few seconds staring into each other's eyes until Lily smiled evilly.
"I win!" Lily said smiling.
"You are a very evil person," James laughed.
"What can I say, you bring out the worst in me!" Lily said defensively. They both started laughing but their happiness was short lived.
"Mister Potter! Miss Evans!" Said a cold, stern voice. Startled Lily quickly jumped off of James and scrambled to her feet brushing herself off. Lily smiled nervously at McGonagall who was glaring.
James was still lying on the ground trying thinking of a plan. 'Maybe if a stay real still and be really quiet McGonagall wont notice me' he thought to himself.
"Mister Potter get up this instant!"
"So much for that brilliant plan" he mumbled to himself.
"The both of you! My office! This instant!" McGonagall yelled causing Lily to jump. James laughed silently at the horrified look on Lily's face. It was quite obvious Lily never gets into trouble. James had gotten in trouble so many times he lost count. Sirius and James were constantly getting into trouble for pulling some elaborate prank or disrupting class.
James and Lily walked to McGonagall's office in silence. As soon as they got to her office the yelling began.
"I cant believe you Lily! I can expect something like this coming from James, but Lily! I'm very disappointed in you! What possessed you two to start a battle with fireplace utensils!?!?!" McGonagall sighed and continued, "Its all fun and games until someone gets an eye poked out!" at this statement James and Lily broke out into laughter. McGonagall shot them a look and they both immediately stopped laughing.
"I have no choice but to deduct house points and give you both detention, now back to your dormitories!"
