On to the story:
Chapter 4: Water Hide and Go Seek
Jeremy and Jeannie walked downstairs to the kitchen where they met Kellen.
"Hey Kellen! Where's everyone?" asked Jeannie
"I dunno. I only got down here." Replied Kellen taking a sip of his orange
juice.
"Well that's weird! No one's upstairs or in their rooms at least." Jeannie
picked up a slice of peanut butter toast and took a bite, thinking. Kellen
just shrugged and left while Jeremy and Jeannie ate their breakfast.
"Hmm, well I don't want to go looking for them right now." Said Jeannie
after she had finished her toast. "I think I'd rather watch a movie!"
"What movie?" asked Jeremy.
"Oh! We can watch it in their home theater!" said Jeannie running off down
the hall in the direction of the theater.
"Home theater?" asked Jeremy, following close behind Jeannie.
"Ya! It really is a theater! It's got all the candy and big comfy seats and
a huge screen! Bigger than and TV. like a mini theater! It's so cool!"
Jeannie stopped outside of a huge room.
"Right in here is the biggest TV. you have ever seen."
Jeannie opened the doors and walked inside. Jeremy followed. It was just
as Jeannie had said. It was a room full of big comfy chairs and a couch or
two and all of them were faced towards the biggest screen that could fit
into a house. It was all along one side of the wall.
"Sit down while I get the movie!" said Jeannie, "Oh and you can have some
candy and stuff too."
Jeremy looked and saw cupboards full of every type of candy.
"WOW." He breathed. He grabbed some candy and sat on a couch in the very
center, so he could have a great view.
"What are we watching?" he asked as Jeannie came back.
"Well it's one of my favourite movies...Peter Pan!" she sat down besides him
as the movie started.
"Never seen it." Replied Jeremy.
Morgan and Lily walked into the kitchen, it was empty.
"I'm starving!" Lily said, rubbing her stomach.
"Same, all that running made me tired," Morgan said, helping herself to
a blueberry muffin. Lily grabbed a bagel and started to butter it. They
both sat down together at the counter, gossiping, like usual. But, they
were interrupted my Sirius running through the door.
"YOU!" He panted, pointing at the girls.
"Yes?" Morgan said, trying to keep a straight face.
"I'M GOING TO K-I-L-L Y-O-U!" he said and sat beside Lily.
"But why? What did we ever do?" Lily said, smiling.
"Everything! Why were you in my clothes?" Sirius asked.
"Long story..." Lily said, taking a bite out of her bagel.
"We have all day, do tell!" Sirius demanded.
"No." Lily said firmly.
"I have the right to know! YOU were wearing my clothes...and then you
stripped down...why?"
"It's for us to know and for you to find out," Morgan laughed stubbornly.
"But--" Sirius began.
"Hey Guys!" Remus said coming in with James. There was an awkward pause.
Lily was still upset and Remus.
"Ummm...Lily, can I talk to you?" Remus asked.
"Yes! Sirius and James, come on!" Morgan replied, answering for Lily.
"But I don't want to go!" Sirius said.
"Stupid boy, so clueless," Morgan muttered as she grabbed Sirius and James
and pulled them outside.
"I'm not hungry anymore," James muttered and walked upstairs.
"What's up with him?" Morgan asked.
"Long story..."
"We have all day...do tell!" Morgan giggled.
"I rather not! Let's go find Jeannie and Jeremy," Sirius suggested.
"Sure," Morgan said.
"Where should we start?" Sirius said.
"I know! We'll go to Jeannie's favorite place in the house..." Morgan said
and set off.
They came to a door way and opened it. It was dark.
"Where are we?" Sirius whispered.
"A mini movie theatre," Morgan whispered back.
"Cool"
On the screen, the Movie Peter Pan was playing. And Jeannie and Jeremy
were in the front row. They weren't watching the movie...oh no! They were
all over each other. They were snogging...Morgan turned the lights on.
"Well, well, well...what do we have here?" Sirius asked.
Jeannie whipped her head around. "Wha-what are you guys doing here?" she
asked.
"We came to find where you two had run off to." Said Sirius crossing his
arms and smiling.
"Well you found us!" Jeannie laughed slightly trying to pretend nothing had
happened.
"Yes we did." Replied Morgan. "Uh, what exactly were you doing though?"
Morgan was smiling now, and teasing Jeannie.
"What do you mean?" asked Jeremy nervously.
"You know." Said Morgan.
"Um...well you see it's quite embarrassing actually..." said Jeannie.
"Do tell." Said Sirius.
"Fine. Uh..." said Jeannie, trying to think of any other excuse than the real
one.
"I had never been kissed before, you know? And um, Jeremy, he
uh....demonstrated it to me!"
"Oh, DEMONSTRATED it did he?" Morgan had a silly grin on her face.
"Yes he did!" Jeannie was getting annoyed that she didn't believe her, even
though it wasn't true. "We were watching Peter Pan and they gave each other
kisses so I said 'I've never been kissed, wonder what it's like.'"
"And I told her I'd show her!" said Jeremy, finishing Jeannie's sentence.
"Whatever!" said Morgan, still smiling.
Jeannie turned around and pouted. Morgan and Sirius came to join the two
in, actually watching this time, Peter Pan. Then Jeannie thought of
something.
"Oh my gosh!"
"What?" asked Morgan.
"Don't you dare tell James!" she said nervously.
"Huh? Why not?" asked Sirius.
"Because! He may be really stupid and big-headed at times but I know he'll
freak out on me or Jeremy and I won't let him!" replied Jeannie.
Just then James walked in.
"What are you guys watching?" he asked.
"Peter Pan." Said Jeannie, her voice a little higher than usual.
James looked at her weird then came and sat next to her. Jeannie got
really nervous as he sat next to her. James seemed to notice because he
said.
"What's wrong? Am I not allowed to sit by my sister?"
"Of course you are." She replied. Jeannie could here Morgan and Sirius
snickering behind her.
Jeannie turned around and mouthed 'BE QUIET! HE"S GONNA FIND OUT!' She
turned back around and looked at Jeremy. She looked into his handsome blue
eyes. They melted her heart. She looked at his cute light brown hair
which she wanted to run her fingers through. She lent a little closer to
him but before she could do anything else, someone whacked her on the head.
"Ack!" Jeannie turned around.
"Sorry!" said Morgan but gave her a look. Jeannie had forgotten all about
James.
She frowned and instead rested her head on Jeremy's shoulder instead.
James gave her a look that said 'what the heck are you doing?' Jeannie just
mouthed 'what?'
*Lily and Remus*
"I don't know what else to say, Lily. I made a mistake, I'm sorry," Remus
apologised.
"I know, Remus, but your so above that. Even though it was a dare, I still
don't get why you would kiss me!" Lily explained, for the 4th time.
"But Lily, that's exactly it! It was a dare...I had no choice," Remus
said.
"But you did have a choice, everyone does. You didn't have to kiss me, you
really didn't," Lily said.
"I'm sorry Lily, I really don't know what else to say, I wasn't thinking.
Will you ever forgive me?" Remus asked desperately.
"Of course Remus, I could never stay mad at you! I'm tired of fighting,
you're my friend," Lily said, "Come on! Let's go find the others."
Lily and Remus walked down the hallway, trying to find everybody. Remus
seemed even more disappointed, for some reason.
'Is that all I am, her friend? Haven't I been obvious enough? How can I
show her?" Remus thought. But he really didn't have anything else to say
because he and Lily entered the Theatre. The movie, Peter Pan was just
ending. Lily sat down beside Morgan and Remus plopped down in the aisle
and rested his back on a chair.
"I do believe in Fairies...I DO, I DO! I do believe in Fairies...." The
kids on the movie screen were chanting this. Remus couldn't think, he had
to get away. He stood up, walked away from his friends and went up to his
room.
When the movie was over Morgan ran and turn the lights on.
"Now what?" Sirius asked.
"Oh! I have a question! Why are you too all over each other?" James said,
pointing in Jeremy and Jeannie's direction.
"None of YOUR business!" Jeannie giggled, slapping James in the back of his
head.
"What do you mean it's none of my business? I'm your brother, I need to
protect you!" James argued.
"Protecting from what?" Jeannie asked, "Besides, I'm older, I don't need
any protecting!"
"But YOUR a girl," James protested.
"And what is that supposed to mean, James?" Morgan asked, coyly.
"Yes James, tell us! Do you mean women can't fend for themselves?" Lily
joined in, throwing popcorn at him.
"No! I didn't mean that..." James said, blushing.
"Well what did you mean?" Jeannie said.
"I...I..." he began.
But Sirius didn't want to wait around for James' excuses and started to
throw popcorn at Morgan. Morgan, in turn, started to throw popcorn back at
him. In about 3 seconds, the whole room was full of flying popcorn and the
boys had ganged up on the girls.
"THIS IS SO UNFAIR," Lily screamed, hiding behind a chair while Jeremy was
chucking popcorn at her.
"Oh, I think it is," James remarked as he chased Morgan with a cup of soda.
"STOP IT JAMES, this is a popcorn fight, not a water fight," Morgan
screamed.
"This isn't water," James said, and he dumped the cup of soda all over
Morgan.
"YOU STUPID, PRICK...I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Morgan shrieked and ran after
James.
"SIRIUS!" Jeannie yelled. Sirius had a popcorn bucket and dumped it all in
Jeannie's shirt.
"What?" Sirius smirked.
Lily and Morgan ran out of the room with James and Jeremy chasing them.
Jeannie caught the drift and went out the door, but Sirius was in her way.
She pushed him. Sirius toppled over the rows of chairs and she set off at
a run.
When Jeannie caught up to Lily and Morgan, they were all running from the
boys and heading down to the lake. When they arrived there, the girls were
cornered. They had no place else to go. Lily jumped it to the water and
started to swim across the lake as fast as she could. Morgan and Jeannie
dived in after her....
*Remus*
"What can I do to show her?" Remus thought as he sat by the window of his
room. Something caught his eye. A gorgeous red head diving into the
water.
"What am I doing down here?" He thought, "I should be down there, with
her!"
Remus ran outside to join the group.
They were all in the water, splashing around.
"Lily looks beautiful," Remus thought.
"HEY REMUS!" Lily yelled, waving to him.
"CARE TO JOIN US?" James yelled. Remus didn't answer, he just ran at the
lake and did a cannon ball into the water, splashing everyone.
Everyone continued on with their water fight until Sirius came limping
towards them.
"What's wrong?" Morgan asked.
"Jeannie's fault!" Sirius said, quickly, not wanting everyone to know that
he was pushed by a...girl. Sirius jump in, right beside Morgan and started
splashing. The group ignored Sirius short answer and splashed around
anyways.
After about 15 minutes the group had swam off in different directions, they
had decided to play hide and go seek in the water. James started to
count. Morgan and Sirius had hid in the leaves of a willow tree, Jeannie
and Jeremy were snogging...I mean hiding behind a rock and Remus and Lily
were left hiding behind the water fall.
"97...98...99...100! Ready or not, here I come!" James yelled and started
to swim off.
*Behind the Willow*
"He's swimming in the other direction, he won't find us for a while,"
Morgan said, checking where James was swimming.
Sirius wrapped his hands around Morgan's waist and tugged her towards him.
Morgan gave him a questioning look.
"He was looking this way," Sirius said and let go of Morgan.
"Alright," Morgan said, not believing a word of his excuse.
*Behind the Rock*
Nothing much was happening behind the rock, except for Jeannie and Jeremy
snogging.
James swam closer to them, trying not to make a sound.
"What are you doing to my sister?" James smirked at Jeremy. Jeremy jumped
off of Jeannie.
"Nothing you need to know," Jeannie said and slapping him on the head.
"Whatever, you were found first, so swim over to the grass and wait until I
find everyone else," James said.
"Fine!" Jeannie said and swam off with Jeremy.
*James*
"Where else could they be?" James thought. But he didn't need anymore
guessing, because there was a noise coming from behind the willow and he
swam off.
"Gotcha!" James yelled. Morgan and Sirius jumped in surprise. Sirius some
how got up into the limbs of the willow tree and was trying to help Morgan
up. Sirius fell out of the tree into the water.
"Nice way to scare us, James" Morgan said sarcastically.
"Thank you!" James said, at took a bow, until his nose was touching the
water. Morgan put a hand on James' head and dunked him into the water.
"Anyways," Sirius said as James recovered from the dunking, "Were we the
first ones found?"
"No! I found Jeremy and Jeannie first. They were snogging..." James said.
"Awww...that's so sweet!" Morgan said.
"How is that sweet?" Sirius asked.
"Well, they're together..." Morgan began, but knew the boys wouldn't
understand, "never mind...It's a girl thing."
"Ok...well, make your way back to the grass. Jeannie and Jeremy are
waiting there. But I'm sure they have found a way to occupy themselves,"
James smirked. Morgan smacked him on the head before she and Sirius swam
off.
'Where could Remus and Lily be?' James asked himself, 'Where else could you
hide in a lake? The waterfall!'
James swam off towards the waterfall.
*Lily and Remus*
"I can't see anything! I don't know if James will find us!" Lily said and
she sat down beside Remus on a rock.
After a few moments, Remus asked, "What are you thinking of?"
"Oh, nothing!" Lily said.
"I can't believe we're going back to Hogwarts," Lily said.
"I know! I really don't want to go back to studying," Remus laughed.
"Really, even you?"
"Yes, even me!" Remus said and looked down at his hands.
"Don't be embarrassed!" Lily said.
"Oh, I'm not, I just really want to show you how I feel, Lily," Remus said.
"What is it?" Lily asked. Remus leaned in closer...
James walked on the rocks towards the waterfall. He was going to scare
them so bad. He edged his way closer to the moving water. He jumped,
"CAUGHT YOU!"
The smile faded from James' face. Remus leaned in to Kiss Lily, and he
almost did, the exact moment James jumped through the waterfall. Lily
looked confused and Remus was embarrassed.
"What are you doing?" James asked.
"I..." Remus said.
"He was just..." Lily began.
"What the hell were you doing Remus?" James asked, his voice rose.
"I was..." Remus tried to make an excuse.
"You knew, how could you betray me? I thought you were my friend?" James
said in a hushed voice. James wanted to strangle Remus.
"James, you have--" Remus began. James was so mad and Remus. James
walked closer to Remus and punched him in the jaw.
"JAMES!" Lily yelled, "WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?"
But James didn't answer. He just walked out of the waterfall...
He walked away from the lake and up into the tree house.
He couldn't believe it. His best friend had betrayed him. Remus knew that
James liked Lily, how could you not know? Yet, he still kissed her.
James ran his hands through his hair. He just felt like curling up in a
ball and dying. What was he going to do? He couldn't face his ex-best
friend and he didn't really feel like talking to anyone else. He just sat
there.
*On the banks*
Morgan and Sirius swam up to Jeannie and Jeremy who, yet again, snogging.
"Haven't you had enough of each other yet?" asked Sirius getting slightly
annoyed with all the snogging.
"I could never have enough of Jeannie." Stated Jeremy.
"Aww!" replied Jeannie and kissed him yet again.
Sirius just shook his head.
"You're just jealous because you're not snogging a certain someone."
Jeannie said.
"Like who?" asked Sirius.
"Sirius, you practically live with me, I know things. I'm, not going to
mention any names but I know you're thinking about snogging that person.
Plus, it's all in that little notebook you keep..."
"What!?" exclaimed Sirius.
"Aha! So I'm right!" said Jeannie triumphantly.
"Go back to your snogging!" said Sirius grumpily, turning his back on her.
"Gladly!"
"It's taking James an awfully long time to find Remus and Lily!" said
Sirius.
"Ya." Replied Morgan looking off towards the tree house. She suddenly got
up. "I think I left the stove on." And she ran off.
"Stove? When did we use a stove today?"
*Morgan*
'What the heck is James doing?' thought Morgan. She had seen James run off
towards the tree house, not too happily either. 'Where are Remus and Lily?'
Morgan reached the tree house and looked up. She couldn't see or hear
anyone but she climbed up anyways.
"James?" she called softly as she reached the top.
"Go away." Was the answer she received.
"James! What happened?" Morgan asked, walking towards James' voice.
"Nothing. Now go away!" James replied.
"It can't have been nothing because if it was nothing, you wouldn't be
upset." Replied Morgan, sitting down and facing in the direction that James
seemed to be in. It was too dark to really tell.
James didn't say anything for awhile.
"Why are you here Morgan?" He asked.
"I'm here because I love you James! Because I know when you're mad or upset
and stuff. I am your cousin you know."
"I know." Was all that James said.
"Come on James!" Morgan pleaded. "Please. Tell me what happened."
There was another silence. Morgan was just about to leave when James
started to talk.
"Well, I was going to find Lily and Remus. I heard a noise behind the
waterfall so I went to go get them. I was on the rocks and jumped out. But
guess what I saw?! GUESS!" Said James, getting angry. "I saw Remus back
there with Lily and he was trying to KISS her!"
Morgan gasped. "No!"
"Oh ya he did! And he knew that I liked Lily, He knew but he didn't
care. He knew but he still did it! So that is why I am not too
happy. THAT IS WHY!" If Morgan could have seen James right now, she would
see an angry yet also sad expression on his face.
"James...I'm sorry." Morgan whispered, moving over to him and hugging him.
James just sighed.
"We have to straighten this out!" Morgan said. "I'll go talk to Remus and-"
"No!" said James suddenly. "You will not talk to Remus."
"Yes I will! And I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind!"
"NO! Just leave him alone."
"You're gonna have to face this some time James." Said Morgan.
"Well I'll face it when the time comes. So about Jeannie and Jeremy. When
did this happen?"
"What do you mean?" asked Morgan.
"I mean since when have they liked each other? What's with all the snogging
all of the sudden?"
"Well Jeannie's liked him for a long time! And you'll have to ask her the
other one."
"Wait, she likes him? Since when? And why didn't she tell me?" James was
getting frustrated. Why didn't Jeannie tell him?
"Well she knows what you're like. You might've killed Jeremy!" replied
Morgan. "Well I'm really hungry! What time is it? It's probably late. Let's
go get some food!"
"Food. I would like that." James replied as he got up. The two made their
way back across the lawn to the mansion. James, considerably happier then
he was before.
*Remus and Lily*
After James had left, Lily was looking confusedly at Remus.
"What were you doing?" asked Lily her eyes wide.
"I...I...I have to go." Said Remus, trying to run off but Lily caught the
back of his shirt and pulled him back.
"Oh no you don't! You were going to kiss me and I know this time is wasn't
a dare!" said Lily. "Wait! Was the first one even a dare? I bet it wasn't!"
Lily slapped Remus hard across the face. "You liar!" Lily's eyes were
burning with that fire again, just like this morning.
"Lily! It was a dare! I swear it!" said Remus trying to get out of her grip
and rubbing his cheek at the same time. Lily slapped really hard.
"Sure, just like this time it was a dare! You disgust me!" Lily stormed off
to find the others. She realized why James was mad. This in turn made her
mad. James had to be mad because Remus had tried to kiss her but James
fancied her. That meant that he thought she was his girl. 'I am no one's
girl!' she thought. 'Especially not James'!'
*Jeannie and Jeremy*
Jeremy leaned in for another kiss, but Jeannie backed off.
"What?" He asked, confused.
"We need to talk," Jeannie said.
"Talk? Why? I thought that..." Jeremy asked, knowing that the phrase 'We
need to talk' never ended well.
"I just feel that we're taking this way to fast. We just started to
snog...I just...Are we together?" Jeannie asked sternly.
"I agree with you Jeannie, but your not my girlfriend," Jeremy said.
"I understand," Jeannie said, disappointed. She got up and started to
walk off. Jeremy ran after her.
"Jeannie! I'm not done," Jeremy said as he grabbed Jeannie's hand and
twirled her around so she was facing him, "Jeannie, your not my girlfriend,
but I want you to be, only if you want me."
Jeannie didn't answer at first, she just smiled at him. "Of course!" She
finally replied. Hand in hand, they walked up to the estate.
*Sirius*
Sirius walked up to the castle, slightly disappointed that he was all
alone. He made his way to the empty kitchen trying to find something to
eat. He found himself an apple and started to eat it. Remus entered the
room, quite disheveled.
"What's up?" Sirius asked, spewing his apple on the table.
"Nothing! Why would something be wrong?" Said a paranoid Remus.
"I dunno...just that you came in here looking a bit odd, that's all!"
Sirius explained.
"Whatever...I think I'm going to go upstairs..." Remus murmured and walked
to his room. Sirius shrugged and continued eating. Sirius heard giggling,
then Jeannie and James walked through the kitchen door.
"Hey!" Sirius said.
They didn't answer...they were too wrapped up in each other.
"Ok...bye then..." Sirius smirked and left the room. He walked down the
hall, not knowing where he was going but he bumped into Morgan who was
consoling James.
"What's wrong?" Sirius asked, finishing his apple and chucking it into the
garbage.
"Well...should I tell him, or do you want to?" Morgan asked James.
"I don't care anymore," James said as he sat on the stairs and put his head
in his hands.
"Ok....then I'll tell Sirius! OK, well when we were playing water hide and
go seek, James found Remus and Lily," Morgan began.
"So?" Sirius interrupted.
"Well, James caught Remus trying to kiss Lily!" Morgan finished.
"WHAT?!" Sirius yelled.
"Calm yourself!" Morgan laughed.
"But Remus knew James fancied Lily! How could he betray James?" Sirius
asked.
"Well, it's a little thing called feelings...besides, Lily isn't James'
"Girl" and he might of had feelings for Lily way before James had feelings
for her!" Morgan explained.
"Well, Remus should have acted sooner, cause James already told Lily he
liked her," Sirius stated.
"Not exactly. James told his friends that he liked her. And I'll tell
you, James really hasn't showed any of his true feelings, only his hormones
talking!" Morgan laughed.
"That sure makes me happy!" James said sarcastically.
"Don't worry about it James, what's done is done," Morgan said, "What you
need is to calm down, then you can talk to Remus. Let's go eat something."
"I'm not sure you want to go in there." Sirius said.
"Why?" Morgan and James asked.
"Well, Jeremy and Jeannie are in there," He explained.
"Oh..." said Morgan.
"Well I'm hungry!" complained James.
"We can wait until they're gone." Replied Morgan.
The three waited for a while.
"Are they gone yet?" asked James after his stomach had growled for the 4th
time.
"I don't know." Said Sirius.
The three poked their heads through the door.
"What are you doing?" asked Jeannie noticing them. Jeannie and Jeremy,
surprisingly, weren't snogging. In fact they were on either sides of the
room.
"Is something wrong?" asked Morgan, noticing how far apart they were.
"What? No." replied Jeremy.
"Then why aren't you two snogging?" asked Sirius, his eyes narrowed as he
looked at the two suspiciously.
"We don't snog all the time!" replied Jeannie frowning.
"Sure seems like it." He replied.
"Righhhht." Replied Jeannie.
"Well guess what!?" Jeannie had gotten all excited.
"What?" asked James.
"I've got a boyfriend!" she said.
"WHAT!? WHO?" yelled James.
"STUPID! Who else?" asked Jeannie as she pointed at Jeremy.
"WHAT!?" yelled James again.
"Just ignore him." Said Jeannie, seeing the look on Jeremy's face. "He
likes to act stupid."
James got really mad at this. "STUPID AM I!?!?! WELL I DON'T THINK I WAS
STUPID WHEN I JUST ABOUT KILLED REMUS! SPEAKING OF REMUS..."
"WHAT!?" asked Jeannie. "You almost KILLED Remus." But James had stormed
off in the direction of the guest rooms.
Jeannie and everyone ran off after him. James reached Remus' door and
pounded on it. Remus, not knowing who it was, opened. James was just
about to punch Remus, but Jeannie got in his way.
"OUT OF MY WAY!" James yelled. Jeannie was standing in front of a startled
looking Remus.
"I don't know what he did, but I won't let you hurt Remus." Said Jeannie,
not moving an inch.
"YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT HE DID? YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW? WELL! HE JUST ABOUT
KISSED LILY, IN FRONT OF ME!..." before James could say anything else,
Jeannie turned around. "Remus! I'm going to KILL you!" Jeannie pounced on
Remus leaving James dumbstruck. Jeannie had never ever, EVER done anything
like this before.
It took everyone awhile to realize that Jeannie, JEANNIE, was, at least
trying to, beat up Remus.
Morgan was the first to act. She dragged Jeannie off of Remus and took her
towards her room.
Everyone followed, including James, for they had all forgot, almost, about
Remus and the beating up off him.
"Wow." James breathed.
"What were you doing?" asked Morgan in disbelief.
"I was attempting to beat Remus up." Replied Jeannie stiffly.

On to the story:
Chapter 4: Water Hide and Go Seek
Jeremy and Jeannie walked downstairs to the kitchen where they met Kellen.
"Hey Kellen! Where's everyone?" asked Jeannie
"I dunno. I only got down here." Replied Kellen taking a sip of his orange
juice.
"Well that's weird! No one's upstairs or in their rooms at least." Jeannie
picked up a slice of peanut butter toast and took a bite, thinking. Kellen
just shrugged and left while Jeremy and Jeannie ate their breakfast.
"Hmm, well I don't want to go looking for them right now." Said Jeannie
after she had finished her toast. "I think I'd rather watch a movie!"
"What movie?" asked Jeremy.
"Oh! We can watch it in their home theater!" said Jeannie running off down
the hall in the direction of the theater.
"Home theater?" asked Jeremy, following close behind Jeannie.
"Ya! It really is a theater! It's got all the candy and big comfy seats and
a huge screen! Bigger than and TV. like a mini theater! It's so cool!"
Jeannie stopped outside of a huge room.
"Right in here is the biggest TV. you have ever seen."
Jeannie opened the doors and walked inside. Jeremy followed. It was just
as Jeannie had said. It was a room full of big comfy chairs and a couch or
two and all of them were faced towards the biggest screen that could fit
into a house. It was all along one side of the wall.
"Sit down while I get the movie!" said Jeannie, "Oh and you can have some
candy and stuff too."
Jeremy looked and saw cupboards full of every type of candy.
"WOW." He breathed. He grabbed some candy and sat on a couch in the very
center, so he could have a great view.
"What are we watching?" he asked as Jeannie came back.
"Well it's one of my favourite movies...Peter Pan!" she sat down besides him
as the movie started.
"Never seen it." Replied Jeremy.
Morgan and Lily walked into the kitchen, it was empty.
"I'm starving!" Lily said, rubbing her stomach.
"Same, all that running made me tired," Morgan said, helping herself to
a blueberry muffin. Lily grabbed a bagel and started to butter it. They
both sat down together at the counter, gossiping, like usual. But, they
were interrupted my Sirius running through the door.
"YOU!" He panted, pointing at the girls.
"Yes?" Morgan said, trying to keep a straight face.
"I'M GOING TO K-I-L-L Y-O-U!" he said and sat beside Lily.
"But why? What did we ever do?" Lily said, smiling.
"Everything! Why were you in my clothes?" Sirius asked.
"Long story..." Lily said, taking a bite out of her bagel.
"We have all day, do tell!" Sirius demanded.
"No." Lily said firmly.
"I have the right to know! YOU were wearing my clothes...and then you
stripped down...why?"
"It's for us to know and for you to find out," Morgan laughed stubbornly.
"But--" Sirius began.
"Hey Guys!" Remus said coming in with James. There was an awkward pause.
Lily was still upset and Remus.
"Ummm...Lily, can I talk to you?" Remus asked.
"Yes! Sirius and James, come on!" Morgan replied, answering for Lily.
"But I don't want to go!" Sirius said.
"Stupid boy, so clueless," Morgan muttered as she grabbed Sirius and James
and pulled them outside.
"I'm not hungry anymore," James muttered and walked upstairs.
"What's up with him?" Morgan asked.
"Long story..."
"We have all day...do tell!" Morgan giggled.
"I rather not! Let's go find Jeannie and Jeremy," Sirius suggested.
"Sure," Morgan said.
"Where should we start?" Sirius said.
"I know! We'll go to Jeannie's favorite place in the house..." Morgan said
and set off.
They came to a door way and opened it. It was dark.
"Where are we?" Sirius whispered.
"A mini movie theatre," Morgan whispered back.
"Cool"
On the screen, the Movie Peter Pan was playing. And Jeannie and Jeremy
were in the front row. They weren't watching the movie...oh no! They were
all over each other. They were snogging...Morgan turned the lights on.
"Well, well, well...what do we have here?" Sirius asked.
Jeannie whipped her head around. "Wha-what are you guys doing here?" she
asked.
"We came to find where you two had run off to." Said Sirius crossing his
arms and smiling.
"Well you found us!" Jeannie laughed slightly trying to pretend nothing had
happened.
"Yes we did." Replied Morgan. "Uh, what exactly were you doing though?"
Morgan was smiling now, and teasing Jeannie.
"What do you mean?" asked Jeremy nervously.
"You know." Said Morgan.
"Um...well you see it's quite embarrassing actually..." said Jeannie.
"Do tell." Said Sirius.
"Fine. Uh..." said Jeannie, trying to think of any other excuse than the real
one.
"I had never been kissed before, you know? And um, Jeremy, he
uh....demonstrated it to me!"
"Oh, DEMONSTRATED it did he?" Morgan had a silly grin on her face.
"Yes he did!" Jeannie was getting annoyed that she didn't believe her, even
though it wasn't true. "We were watching Peter Pan and they gave each other
kisses so I said 'I've never been kissed, wonder what it's like.'"
"And I told her I'd show her!" said Jeremy, finishing Jeannie's sentence.
"Whatever!" said Morgan, still smiling.
Jeannie turned around and pouted. Morgan and Sirius came to join the two
in, actually watching this time, Peter Pan. Then Jeannie thought of
something.
"Oh my gosh!"
"What?" asked Morgan.
"Don't you dare tell James!" she said nervously.
"Huh? Why not?" asked Sirius.
"Because! He may be really stupid and big-headed at times but I know he'll
freak out on me or Jeremy and I won't let him!" replied Jeannie.
Just then James walked in.
"What are you guys watching?" he asked.
"Peter Pan." Said Jeannie, her voice a little higher than usual.
James looked at her weird then came and sat next to her. Jeannie got
really nervous as he sat next to her. James seemed to notice because he
said.
"What's wrong? Am I not allowed to sit by my sister?"
"Of course you are." She replied. Jeannie could here Morgan and Sirius
snickering behind her.
Jeannie turned around and mouthed 'BE QUIET! HE"S GONNA FIND OUT!' She
turned back around and looked at Jeremy. She looked into his handsome blue
eyes. They melted her heart. She looked at his cute light brown hair
which she wanted to run her fingers through. She lent a little closer to
him but before she could do anything else, someone whacked her on the head.
"Ack!" Jeannie turned around.
"Sorry!" said Morgan but gave her a look. Jeannie had forgotten all about
James.
She frowned and instead rested her head on Jeremy's shoulder instead.
James gave her a look that said 'what the heck are you doing?' Jeannie just
mouthed 'what?'
*Lily and Remus*
"I don't know what else to say, Lily. I made a mistake, I'm sorry," Remus
apologised.
"I know, Remus, but your so above that. Even though it was a dare, I still
don't get why you would kiss me!" Lily explained, for the 4th time.
"But Lily, that's exactly it! It was a dare...I had no choice," Remus
said.
"But you did have a choice, everyone does. You didn't have to kiss me, you
really didn't," Lily said.
"I'm sorry Lily, I really don't know what else to say, I wasn't thinking.
Will you ever forgive me?" Remus asked desperately.
"Of course Remus, I could never stay mad at you! I'm tired of fighting,
you're my friend," Lily said, "Come on! Let's go find the others."
Lily and Remus walked down the hallway, trying to find everybody. Remus
seemed even more disappointed, for some reason.
'Is that all I am, her friend? Haven't I been obvious enough? How can I
show her?" Remus thought. But he really didn't have anything else to say
because he and Lily entered the Theatre. The movie, Peter Pan was just
ending. Lily sat down beside Morgan and Remus plopped down in the aisle
and rested his back on a chair.
"I do believe in Fairies...I DO, I DO! I do believe in Fairies...." The
kids on the movie screen were chanting this. Remus couldn't think, he had
to get away. He stood up, walked away from his friends and went up to his
room.
When the movie was over Morgan ran and turn the lights on.
"Now what?" Sirius asked.
"Oh! I have a question! Why are you too all over each other?" James said,
pointing in Jeremy and Jeannie's direction.
"None of YOUR business!" Jeannie giggled, slapping James in the back of his
head.
"What do you mean it's none of my business? I'm your brother, I need to
protect you!" James argued.
"Protecting from what?" Jeannie asked, "Besides, I'm older, I don't need
any protecting!"
"But YOUR a girl," James protested.
"And what is that supposed to mean, James?" Morgan asked, coyly.
"Yes James, tell us! Do you mean women can't fend for themselves?" Lily
joined in, throwing popcorn at him.
"No! I didn't mean that..." James said, blushing.
"Well what did you mean?" Jeannie said.
"I...I..." he began.
But Sirius didn't want to wait around for James' excuses and started to
throw popcorn at Morgan. Morgan, in turn, started to throw popcorn back at
him. In about 3 seconds, the whole room was full of flying popcorn and the
boys had ganged up on the girls.
"THIS IS SO UNFAIR," Lily screamed, hiding behind a chair while Jeremy was
chucking popcorn at her.
"Oh, I think it is," James remarked as he chased Morgan with a cup of soda.
"STOP IT JAMES, this is a popcorn fight, not a water fight," Morgan
screamed.
"This isn't water," James said, and he dumped the cup of soda all over
Morgan.
"YOU STUPID, PRICK...I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Morgan shrieked and ran after
James.
"SIRIUS!" Jeannie yelled. Sirius had a popcorn bucket and dumped it all in
Jeannie's shirt.
"What?" Sirius smirked.
Lily and Morgan ran out of the room with James and Jeremy chasing them.
Jeannie caught the drift and went out the door, but Sirius was in her way.
She pushed him. Sirius toppled over the rows of chairs and she set off at
a run.
When Jeannie caught up to Lily and Morgan, they were all running from the
boys and heading down to the lake. When they arrived there, the girls were
cornered. They had no place else to go. Lily jumped it to the water and
started to swim across the lake as fast as she could. Morgan and Jeannie
dived in after her....
*Remus*
"What can I do to show her?" Remus thought as he sat by the window of his
room. Something caught his eye. A gorgeous red head diving into the
water.
"What am I doing down here?" He thought, "I should be down there, with
her!"
Remus ran outside to join the group.
They were all in the water, splashing around.
"Lily looks beautiful," Remus thought.
"HEY REMUS!" Lily yelled, waving to him.
"CARE TO JOIN US?" James yelled. Remus didn't answer, he just ran at the
lake and did a cannon ball into the water, splashing everyone.
Everyone continued on with their water fight until Sirius came limping
towards them.
"What's wrong?" Morgan asked.
"Jeannie's fault!" Sirius said, quickly, not wanting everyone to know that
he was pushed by a...girl. Sirius jump in, right beside Morgan and started
splashing. The group ignored Sirius short answer and splashed around
anyways.
After about 15 minutes the group had swam off in different directions, they
had decided to play hide and go seek in the water. James started to
count. Morgan and Sirius had hid in the leaves of a willow tree, Jeannie
and Jeremy were snogging...I mean hiding behind a rock and Remus and Lily
were left hiding behind the water fall.
"97...98...99...100! Ready or not, here I come!" James yelled and started
to swim off.
*Behind the Willow*
"He's swimming in the other direction, he won't find us for a while,"
Morgan said, checking where James was swimming.
Sirius wrapped his hands around Morgan's waist and tugged her towards him.
Morgan gave him a questioning look.
"He was looking this way," Sirius said and let go of Morgan.
"Alright," Morgan said, not believing a word of his excuse.
*Behind the Rock*
Nothing much was happening behind the rock, except for Jeannie and Jeremy
snogging.
James swam closer to them, trying not to make a sound.
"What are you doing to my sister?" James smirked at Jeremy. Jeremy jumped
off of Jeannie.
"Nothing you need to know," Jeannie said and slapping him on the head.
"Whatever, you were found first, so swim over to the grass and wait until I
find everyone else," James said.
"Fine!" Jeannie said and swam off with Jeremy.
*James*
"Where else could they be?" James thought. But he didn't need anymore
guessing, because there was a noise coming from behind the willow and he
swam off.
"Gotcha!" James yelled. Morgan and Sirius jumped in surprise. Sirius some
how got up into the limbs of the willow tree and was trying to help Morgan
up. Sirius fell out of the tree into the water.
"Nice way to scare us, James" Morgan said sarcastically.
"Thank you!" James said, at took a bow, until his nose was touching the
water. Morgan put a hand on James' head and dunked him into the water.
"Anyways," Sirius said as James recovered from the dunking, "Were we the
first ones found?"
"No! I found Jeremy and Jeannie first. They were snogging..." James said.
"Awww...that's so sweet!" Morgan said.
"How is that sweet?" Sirius asked.
"Well, they're together..." Morgan began, but knew the boys wouldn't
understand, "never mind...It's a girl thing."
"Ok...well, make your way back to the grass. Jeannie and Jeremy are
waiting there. But I'm sure they have found a way to occupy themselves,"
James smirked. Morgan smacked him on the head before she and Sirius swam
off.
'Where could Remus and Lily be?' James asked himself, 'Where else could you
hide in a lake? The waterfall!'
James swam off towards the waterfall.
*Lily and Remus*
"I can't see anything! I don't know if James will find us!" Lily said and
she sat down beside Remus on a rock.
After a few moments, Remus asked, "What are you thinking of?"
"Oh, nothing!" Lily said.
"I can't believe we're going back to Hogwarts," Lily said.
"I know! I really don't want to go back to studying," Remus laughed.
"Really, even you?"
"Yes, even me!" Remus said and looked down at his hands.
"Don't be embarrassed!" Lily said.
"Oh, I'm not, I just really want to show you how I feel, Lily," Remus said.
"What is it?" Lily asked. Remus leaned in closer...
James walked on the rocks towards the waterfall. He was going to scare
them so bad. He edged his way closer to the moving water. He jumped,
"CAUGHT YOU!"
The smile faded from James' face. Remus leaned in to Kiss Lily, and he
almost did, the exact moment James jumped through the waterfall. Lily
looked confused and Remus was embarrassed.
"What are you doing?" James asked.
"I..." Remus said.
"He was just..." Lily began.
"What the hell were you doing Remus?" James asked, his voice rose.
"I was..." Remus tried to make an excuse.
"You knew, how could you betray me? I thought you were my friend?" James
said in a hushed voice. James wanted to strangle Remus.
"James, you have--" Remus began. James was so mad and Remus. James
walked closer to Remus and punched him in the jaw.
"JAMES!" Lily yelled, "WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?"
But James didn't answer. He just walked out of the waterfall...
He walked away from the lake and up into the tree house.
He couldn't believe it. His best friend had betrayed him. Remus knew that
James liked Lily, how could you not know? Yet, he still kissed her.
James ran his hands through his hair. He just felt like curling up in a
ball and dying. What was he going to do? He couldn't face his ex-best
friend and he didn't really feel like talking to anyone else. He just sat
there.
*On the banks*
Morgan and Sirius swam up to Jeannie and Jeremy who, yet again, snogging.
"Haven't you had enough of each other yet?" asked Sirius getting slightly
annoyed with all the snogging.
"I could never have enough of Jeannie." Stated Jeremy.
"Aww!" replied Jeannie and kissed him yet again.
Sirius just shook his head.
"You're just jealous because you're not snogging a certain someone."
Jeannie said.
"Like who?" asked Sirius.
"Sirius, you practically live with me, I know things. I'm, not going to
mention any names but I know you're thinking about snogging that person.
Plus, it's all in that little notebook you keep..."
"What!?" exclaimed Sirius.
"Aha! So I'm right!" said Jeannie triumphantly.
"Go back to your snogging!" said Sirius grumpily, turning his back on her.
"Gladly!"
"It's taking James an awfully long time to find Remus and Lily!" said
Sirius.
"Ya." Replied Morgan looking off towards the tree house. She suddenly got
up. "I think I left the stove on." And she ran off.
"Stove? When did we use a stove today?"
*Morgan*
'What the heck is James doing?' thought Morgan. She had seen James run off
towards the tree house, not too happily either. 'Where are Remus and Lily?'
Morgan reached the tree house and looked up. She couldn't see or hear
anyone but she climbed up anyways.
"James?" she called softly as she reached the top.
"Go away." Was the answer she received.
"James! What happened?" Morgan asked, walking towards James' voice.
"Nothing. Now go away!" James replied.
"It can't have been nothing because if it was nothing, you wouldn't be
upset." Replied Morgan, sitting down and facing in the direction that James
seemed to be in. It was too dark to really tell.
James didn't say anything for awhile.
"Why are you here Morgan?" He asked.
"I'm here because I love you James! Because I know when you're mad or upset
and stuff. I am your cousin you know."
"I know." Was all that James said.
"Come on James!" Morgan pleaded. "Please. Tell me what happened."
There was another silence. Morgan was just about to leave when James
started to talk.
"Well, I was going to find Lily and Remus. I heard a noise behind the
waterfall so I went to go get them. I was on the rocks and jumped out. But
guess what I saw?! GUESS!" Said James, getting angry. "I saw Remus back
there with Lily and he was trying to KISS her!"
Morgan gasped. "No!"
"Oh ya he did! And he knew that I liked Lily, He knew but he didn't
care. He knew but he still did it! So that is why I am not too
happy. THAT IS WHY!" If Morgan could have seen James right now, she would
see an angry yet also sad expression on his face.
"James...I'm sorry." Morgan whispered, moving over to him and hugging him.
James just sighed.
"We have to straighten this out!" Morgan said. "I'll go talk to Remus and-"
"No!" said James suddenly. "You will not talk to Remus."
"Yes I will! And I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind!"
"NO! Just leave him alone."
"You're gonna have to face this some time James." Said Morgan.
"Well I'll face it when the time comes. So about Jeannie and Jeremy. When
did this happen?"
"What do you mean?" asked Morgan.
"I mean since when have they liked each other? What's with all the snogging
all of the sudden?"
"Well Jeannie's liked him for a long time! And you'll have to ask her the
other one."
"Wait, she likes him? Since when? And why didn't she tell me?" James was
getting frustrated. Why didn't Jeannie tell him?
"Well she knows what you're like. You might've killed Jeremy!" replied
Morgan. "Well I'm really hungry! What time is it? It's probably late. Let's
go get some food!"
"Food. I would like that." James replied as he got up. The two made their
way back across the lawn to the mansion. James, considerably happier then
he was before.
*Remus and Lily*
After James had left, Lily was looking confusedly at Remus.
"What were you doing?" asked Lily her eyes wide.
"I...I...I have to go." Said Remus, trying to run off but Lily caught the
back of his shirt and pulled him back.
"Oh no you don't! You were going to kiss me and I know this time is wasn't
a dare!" said Lily. "Wait! Was the first one even a dare? I bet it wasn't!"
Lily slapped Remus hard across the face. "You liar!" Lily's eyes were
burning with that fire again, just like this morning.
"Lily! It was a dare! I swear it!" said Remus trying to get out of her grip
and rubbing his cheek at the same time. Lily slapped really hard.
"Sure, just like this time it was a dare! You disgust me!" Lily stormed off
to find the others. She realized why James was mad. This in turn made her
mad. James had to be mad because Remus had tried to kiss her but James
fancied her. That meant that he thought she was his girl. 'I am no one's
girl!' she thought. 'Especially not James'!'
*Jeannie and Jeremy*
Jeremy leaned in for another kiss, but Jeannie backed off.
"What?" He asked, confused.
"We need to talk," Jeannie said.
"Talk? Why? I thought that..." Jeremy asked, knowing that the phrase 'We
need to talk' never ended well.
"I just feel that we're taking this way to fast. We just started to
snog...I just...Are we together?" Jeannie asked sternly.
"I agree with you Jeannie, but your not my girlfriend," Jeremy said.
"I understand," Jeannie said, disappointed. She got up and started to
walk off. Jeremy ran after her.
"Jeannie! I'm not done," Jeremy said as he grabbed Jeannie's hand and
twirled her around so she was facing him, "Jeannie, your not my girlfriend,
but I want you to be, only if you want me."
Jeannie didn't answer at first, she just smiled at him. "Of course!" She
finally replied. Hand in hand, they walked up to the estate.
*Sirius*
Sirius walked up to the castle, slightly disappointed that he was all
alone. He made his way to the empty kitchen trying to find something to
eat. He found himself an apple and started to eat it. Remus entered the
room, quite disheveled.
"What's up?" Sirius asked, spewing his apple on the table.
"Nothing! Why would something be wrong?" Said a paranoid Remus.
"I dunno...just that you came in here looking a bit odd, that's all!"
Sirius explained.
"Whatever...I think I'm going to go upstairs..." Remus murmured and walked
to his room. Sirius shrugged and continued eating. Sirius heard giggling,
then Jeannie and James walked through the kitchen door.
"Hey!" Sirius said.
They didn't answer...they were too wrapped up in each other.
"Ok...bye then..." Sirius smirked and left the room. He walked down the
hall, not knowing where he was going but he bumped into Morgan who was
consoling James.
"What's wrong?" Sirius asked, finishing his apple and chucking it into the
garbage.
"Well...should I tell him, or do you want to?" Morgan asked James.
"I don't care anymore," James said as he sat on the stairs and put his head
in his hands.
"Ok....then I'll tell Sirius! OK, well when we were playing water hide and
go seek, James found Remus and Lily," Morgan began.
"So?" Sirius interrupted.
"Well, James caught Remus trying to kiss Lily!" Morgan finished.
"WHAT?!" Sirius yelled.
"Calm yourself!" Morgan laughed.
"But Remus knew James fancied Lily! How could he betray James?" Sirius
asked.
"Well, it's a little thing called feelings...besides, Lily isn't James'
"Girl" and he might of had feelings for Lily way before James had feelings
for her!" Morgan explained.
"Well, Remus should have acted sooner, cause James already told Lily he
liked her," Sirius stated.
"Not exactly. James told his friends that he liked her. And I'll tell
you, James really hasn't showed any of his true feelings, only his hormones
talking!" Morgan laughed.
"That sure makes me happy!" James said sarcastically.
"Don't worry about it James, what's done is done," Morgan said, "What you
need is to calm down, then you can talk to Remus. Let's go eat something."
"I'm not sure you want to go in there." Sirius said.
"Why?" Morgan and James asked.
"Well, Jeremy and Jeannie are in there," He explained.
"Oh..." said Morgan.
"Well I'm hungry!" complained James.
"We can wait until they're gone." Replied Morgan.
The three waited for a while.
"Are they gone yet?" asked James after his stomach had growled for the 4th
time.
"I don't know." Said Sirius.
The three poked their heads through the door.
"What are you doing?" asked Jeannie noticing them. Jeannie and Jeremy,
surprisingly, weren't snogging. In fact they were on either sides of the
room.
"Is something wrong?" asked Morgan, noticing how far apart they were.
"What? No." replied Jeremy.
"Then why aren't you two snogging?" asked Sirius, his eyes narrowed as he
looked at the two suspiciously.
"We don't snog all the time!" replied Jeannie frowning.
"Sure seems like it." He replied.
"Righhhht." Replied Jeannie.
"Well guess what!?" Jeannie had gotten all excited.
"What?" asked James.
"I've got a boyfriend!" she said.
"WHAT!? WHO?" yelled James.
"STUPID! Who else?" asked Jeannie as she pointed at Jeremy.
"WHAT!?" yelled James again.
"Just ignore him." Said Jeannie, seeing the look on Jeremy's face. "He
likes to act stupid."
James got really mad at this. "STUPID AM I!?!?! WELL I DON'T THINK I WAS
STUPID WHEN I JUST ABOUT KILLED REMUS! SPEAKING OF REMUS..."
"WHAT!?" asked Jeannie. "You almost KILLED Remus." But James had stormed
off in the direction of the guest rooms.
Jeannie and everyone ran off after him. James reached Remus' door and
pounded on it. Remus, not knowing who it was, opened. James was just
about to punch Remus, but Jeannie got in his way.
"OUT OF MY WAY!" James yelled. Jeannie was standing in front of a startled
looking Remus.
"I don't know what he did, but I won't let you hurt Remus." Said Jeannie,
not moving an inch.
"YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT HE DID? YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW? WELL! HE JUST ABOUT
KISSED LILY, IN FRONT OF ME!..." before James could say anything else,
Jeannie turned around. "Remus! I'm going to KILL you!" Jeannie pounced on
Remus leaving James dumbstruck. Jeannie had never ever, EVER done anything
like this before.
It took everyone awhile to realize that Jeannie, JEANNIE, was, at least
trying to, beat up Remus.
Morgan was the first to act. She dragged Jeannie off of Remus and took her
towards her room.
Everyone followed, including James, for they had all forgot, almost, about
Remus and the beating up off him.
"Wow." James breathed.
"What were you doing?" asked Morgan in disbelief.
"I was attempting to beat Remus up." Replied Jeannie stiffly.
