Chapter 25: The Makeup Bandit
-----
Julia sighed and turned to Alex for support. It was annoying how goddamn stubborn Lily could be.
"I said no, and that's that," Lily said simply, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Fine," Alex said. Julia gaped at her.
"But-," Julia started.
"We'll leave you alone about the James thing," Alex said as she glared at Julia out of the corner of her eye. Lily raised an eyebrow.
"Really?" Alex nodded and dragged Julia out of the dormitory with her, leaving a suspicious Lily alone in the dorm.
"Really?" Julia asked Alex. Alex starred at her.
"YES!" she said in a frustrated tone. She sighed and waited for Sirius, Remus, and Peter.
"What happened?" Peter asked when he saw Alex and Julia's faces. They looked up at the newly arriving boys.
"She said no," Julia informed him. "There goes Plan A."
"Ok, so Plan B is to force her," Remus stated. And the girls knew just the thing.
"5 more days till Christmas!" Julia sang as she and Alex entered the dorm later that evening. Lily was on her bed reading, her eyes red. She was obviously crying.
"Whatcha reading?" Julia asked as she skipped over to Lily. She glanced down at the book and saw a picture of Lily and James holding hands in Hogsmeade. Lily slammed the book shut.
"NOTHING!" she shouted nervously. She put on a fake smile. "I need to go... um... re-apply my lip gloss," she stuttered. She crossed the room and entered the bathroom to find all of her makeup gone.
"Who took my stuff?" she asked as she searched for it. Alex and Julia peeked their heads into the bathroom.
"Erm... I dunno... Samantha maybe?" Alex suggested. They helped her look and then heard laughter from outside.
"Oh goodness..." Lily started as she figured out where her make-up had gone. She stomped out of the dorm with Julia and Alex following her closely and say a black-haired somebody being laughed at.
"Oh, Jamie... you look so... hot!" Sirius shrieked as he air-kissed James. James laughed and turned around.
Lily gasped. James had all of her makeup on his face. He had sparkly eyes- shadow and bright red lips. His face was pink and he had the word "LOSER" written on his head in pink lipstick.
"JAMES! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO!" Lily screamed at him. James saw her and turned so red, the color could be seen underneath the makeup. Lily glared daggers at him.
"I... uh..."
"Do you and your friends have a dressing-up-like-girls fetish or something?!" Remus went red too at this point and Sirius snickered, re- calling Remus's little act at the beginning of the year.
"Er... um..." But Lily didn't hear his sorry excuse because she stomped into the dorm shouting "YOU IMMATURE TWIT!"
"Not so smooth, are ya, Prongs?" Sirius asked and a deep voice. James hit him.
The next day...
"LET'S PLAY HIDE-AND-GO-SEEK!" Sirius yelled in his usual happy voice.
"Hmm?" Remus groaned from him bed. James looked over at his clock that said 8:00 am.
"Five more minutes..." Peter muttered. Sirius frowned. He rolled up the sleeved of his button-up white shirt and started shaking his friends.
"Come... on!" he shouted. "The girls are waiting for us!"
"LILY? Where?" James yelled as he jumped out of bed. He messed up his already messy hair and threw on a shirt and pants extremely quickly.
"10 seconds, Prongs, you didn't beat your record on fastest time gettong dressed," Remus commented as he too got dressed. They all jumped as they heard a rather loud snore from Peter's bed. James muttered a spell and Peter was instantly dressed. One problem though: he was still sleeping. His three friends rolled him off of his bed and he woke with a start.
"Ouch, guys, that was un-called for," Peter said as he rubbed his head. He threw on his shoes (A/N: is that possible? To throw on your shoes? I should try it one day...) and they rushed down the stairs, causing A LOT of noise.
"Could you guys be ANY louder?" Lily asked. But they headed outside anyway.
"All-castle game?" Alex asked, her eyes gleaming. She always liked hide-and- go-seek (A/N: just like me!).
"Yeah, and I want to be it this time!" Peter said. So he counted to one hundred and was off on his journey.
"Ow, Sirius, get off of me!" Remus hissed as Sirius practically stood on him in a cupboard.
"Sorry, Moony," Sirius said, "but I can't get off."
"Why... not...," Remus asked him in great pain. He was on all fours and Sirius was standing on his back.
"Because... I heard Peter before. He's around here somewhere," Sirius whispered as he peeked out the door.
"Oof!" someone yelled from the hallway. Remus and Sirius sniggered as they saw James slip and fall. He had forgotten to put on his shoes, so he slid on his socks. He stood back up and continued down the hall, passing Remus and Sirius's cupboard. He was about to walk upstairs when he heard Peter.
"I'm gonna get out guys!" he called from the second floor. James ran the opposite direction, sliding on his socks again. He hurried into the door nearest him and he smashed right into someone.
"Watch where you're going Potter," Snape spat. But James didn't notice him. He ran past Snape and hurried into the dungeons.
Then James had an idea. He rushed into the potions classroom and filled a bucket of water. He stuck his head out into the corridor to make sure Peter wasn't there yet.
"James!" someone hissed 5 minutes later. He stopped running and looked at around. He then saw Alex sprinting toward him.
"Come on," she whispered. He grabbed his wrist and pulled him down the corridor. She pushed him into a closet. She was about to step in also, when there was a noise down the hall.
"Bloody hell," she whispered and she ran off in the other direction. James sighed and turned around at see a growling Lily.
"Hello, my lo- Lily," he said, turning slightly pink.
"Did you do it?" Julia asked as Alex met her down the hall. Alex nodded and Julia put her wand away.
"That was such a good idea... making the noise so I could get away," Alex mused. "He probably thought it was Peter... Lily too."
"I know," Julia said as they snuck into a secret passage way. "That was the point."
"I just hope they actually talk," Alex sighed as they started to walk faster.
Back in the closet...
"What are you doing here?" Lily whispered sharply.
"Hiding, what do you think?"
"Why in here?"
"Did you not see Alex throw me in here? Why are you so mad at me?" James shot back at her. Lily rolled her eyes.
"I think you know the answer to that," she snapped. Then there was a splash of water from up the corridor.
"What was that?" she asked nervously as she looked out the door. James grabbed her shirt and pulled her back in.
"It's just Peter," he told her. "I put a charm on a bucket of water so that it would fall on him when he stepped under it. We have to run, or he'll find us!"
"You know what? You are so immature! I can't believe you! Why the fu-," she started but he had pushed her out of the closet and dragged her down the hall. He took her into the passage that Alex and Julia had taken and started to run down it as he heard Peter drawing nearer.
The passage went on for a good 20 minutes. James was leading Lily, not really paying attention to her babbling on him acting like a "bloody 3 year old all the bloody time". They finally reached the end and stepped out to find themselves in the back of the library.
"... and the way you're always hurting others, making them feel bad, is so wrong James! I just want to straggle you sometimes!" she concluded. She gasped for breath, as she had been talking non-stop for 20 LONG minutes.
"Err, that's nice Lily, but really, why won't you talk to me about the kissing thing!" he asked her as they snuck behind a bookshelf.
"Because I know you're gonna make up an excuse!" she breathed as she glued herself to the wall.
"No!" James said defending himself.
Lily snorted. "Then tell me, what happened?"
"After Tracy pulled me in the store, she explained that she needed help finding a Charms book! She pulled he into an aisle and then kissed me! I swear I didn't want it!"
"There you go again with the "I didn't want it" story! God, I've heard that one so many times, it's getting really old!" Lily snapped. James was lost for words. Why didn't she believe him?
"Lily, you've got to trust me!" James yelled finally.
"I trusted you before and you went and kissed another girl. I don't know if I can trust you again," she screamed and she went to find a different hiding place.
----- Ok, that's my pathetic chapter 25. I noticed that the fic isn't as funny anymore so I'll try to get really hyper or something and then write a chapter. Okay? Okay, so THANK YOU TO ALL MY REVIEWERS! 98 reviews so far! Yay! And can you guys please read my new fic called "Trapped!"? It's during the Harry, Ron, Hermione period. It's a wacky plot but hopefully it's semi- good at least. Thank you! Love you all!
