Wondering why I updated so soon? A-I have four days off from school, B-I
had exams this week and after them I did a chapter outline (my first, thank
you very much!), and C- I decided that I am going to reward myself with an
Apple 15 inch Powerbook when I finish this fanfict and the one I'm gonna do
right after it. I bought my iPod and I've been finding out more and more
about apples and I've fallen madly in love with macs. Who knows, maybe one
day you'll see me on one of those "I switched to mac" commercials. I could
see it now.*laughs*. I already have ALMOST enough money for one but this is
supposedly gonna be the one I use when I go off to college (I'm a freshman
starting my second semester of high school) and I'd have to empty out my
bank account which would really piss off my bank considering I opened up my
account on boxing day. Oh well.besides, I haven't even started my new
fanfict; which is good because I still have a few chapters left to write.
Thank you to all of my reviewers! You can check out my xanga here if you want spoilers or updates on what's happening: my xanga
Oh dear lord.my mom just came in my room to ask me how to spell "afterwards". She thought it was "afterwoods". That's why New Yorkers rarely win spelling bees. Their phonics skills are completely demolished and the English language is butchered. Lol, that's probably why me and my friend Kate always sucked at Spelling! Good times, good times.

Threesomes
On January 2nd, James, Sirius, and Lily all met up at The Leaky Cauldron to meet together for the first time since their party. James and Sirius were sitting at a nearby table waiting for little miss perfect to show up. They were drinking a butterbeer when Lily eventually showed up. "What took you so long?" Asked Sirius.
"My mum and dad where giving me their own randition of the Spanish Inquisition by asking me every little detail about Amos." Replied Lily taking a seat next to Sirius and across from James at their little table.
"Good. We were wondering weither you got the owl or not." Said James.
"Sorry. So how was everyone's holidays?" Sirius and James groaned. "What, was it something I said?"
"Yes, I think it was the word 'holidays'." Responded James sourly. Lily cocked an eyebrow.
"Why, what happened?" She asked with concern.
"Ugh, I don't want to talk about it." And with that Sirius turned his head and saw a lovely blonde sitting at the bar. She was absolutely gorgeous.
"Hey James, look at that girl over there. Damn she is hot. She's looking over here!" Sure enough, the blonde was looking directly at the two mauderers. To Sirius and James's luck, she smiled at them. "See that, she smiled at you!"
"She didn't smile at me, she smiled at you!" Protested James.
"Frankly I think its blatantly obvious that she was smiling at me." Said Lily. "She must know about your gigantic willy." Said James jokingly. Lily played along.
"Damn straight."
"Go talk to her!" Sirius exclaimed.
"Nah," replied James, "she's not my type."
"But she's hot! How can you tell if she's not your type if you haven't even met her?" Asked Sirius.
"I'm not the kind of guy who would pick up a woman at a bar anymore." Said James. Sirius went quiet and wondered why he wouldn't approach the girl at the bar. James quickly tilted his head towards Lily's general direction. Lily looked at the two men curiously.
"Um.what's going on?" She asked.
"We're imagining you naked in our heads." Said Sirius with a smirk.
"Oh fuck off." Said Lily. "Was that what you were really doing?"
"Oh come now Lily, you don't think we're that thick, do you?" Asked James.
"Prongs I need to talk to you in private." Sirius glared at James and the two men left the table leaving Lily to ponder what was really going on.
Sirius pulled James into one of the empty corners of the bar so Lily wouldn't hear. "Prongs what the hell is the matter with you? You and Lily broke up a long time ago! Its time to get over it already and move on. Look at her! Lily's already got- -"
"Don't even say his name or I think a may puke." Warned James. Sirius obliged and sighed.
"James, what happened to you? We used to have so much fun. Now you're always depressed." Said Sirius.
"Well wouldn't you be too?" Asked James starting to get angry. "I loved her. I always have. I changed for her, I became a better person for her. But that obviously wasn't good enough for her. Look what she did; she dumped me! She broke my heart and doesn't even seem to care.
"Over the summer I kept telling myself that I'd be okay and I'll move on. But then I saw her again and all of the old feelings came rushing back." James stopped and Sirius looked deep into his eyes. He saw the look of desperation and disappointment on his face. Suddenly, he knew how he felt. All of those years at Hogwarts playing pranks on Lily and teasing Lily, he was just trying to win her over. "I still love her." Said James almost in a whisper. There was a few moments of silence before James blurted out "I need to get laid." Sirius and James laughed.
"Yes you do mate." Said Sirius patting him on the back. "And you can if you just go and talk to that girl." James looked at the girl once more and smiled.
"Time to turn on that old Potter charm." Said James gleefully as he trodded over to the bar and sat next to the blonde. Sirius sat back down with Lily.
"He's doing it?" She asked. Sirius nodded.
"That man needs to get laid. Its been too long." Said Sirius.
"Shh! I want to try and hear them!"
"I'm James Potter." Said James suavely smiling and holding out his hand.
"Georgia." Said the blonde shaking his hand. James took her hand and kissed it.
"What a lovely name for a lovely woman." Georgia giggled.
About twenty minutes later, Georgia left the Leaky Cauldron and James returned to his friends looking happier than ever. "So how'd it go?" Asked Lily.
"Well, it turns out that she was smiling at Sirius but that's okay because she said I caught her eye first."
"What can I say, the Blacks are known for their ridiculously good looks." Interjected Sirius.
"What's her name?" Asked Lily.
"Georgia Shaw, and she's a secretary at the Ministry of Magic." Said James. "Anyways, we started talking and I asked her out on a date."
"All right Prongs! Good for you!" Exclaimed Sirius.
"Then she suggested that she hook you up with her friend Kristin and we all go on a double date together Saturday." Said James.
"Is she hot?" Questioned Sirius.
"From what Georgia said about her, yes."
"I'm in."
"Hey, what about me?" Inquired Lily.
"What about you?" Responded James.
"Why can't we make it a triple date? I could bring Amos along and we could all have a good time together." Suggested Lily. Sirius looked at James who had been hiding his annoyance quite well.
"Well, sure I guess. But I would have to owl Georgia and let her know and ask if its alright with her." Said James.
"Great, so its like a threesome?" Joked Sirius.
"Unless it envolves half of us having sex afterwards then no, it is nothing like a threesome. I think the word you're searching for is 'Triple Date'." Said James.
"But a Triple Date is kind of like a threesome! Besides, it sounds cooler if you say that you're having a threesome Saturday night when someone asks if you're busy or not." Sirius smirked and Lily and James laughed. A threesome it was.
~*~
The next day after a particularly boring class of Auror training (How to remember the proper encantation in a dangerous situation), James owled Georgia asking if his friend Lily and her boyfriend could come along with them. To James's dismay, she replied "The more the merrier" and told Lily. Lily was excited and ran off to tell Amos the news. James then scolded himself for not pretending that Georgia had said no.
Saturday night approached before they knew it and Lily was sitting in the boy's living room ready to go waiting for her two friends. "Come on!" She shouted. "You two are even worse than me." Sirius and James came into the living room looking very handsome and ready for their "threesome".
"Merlin, she moves next-door and already its like we're married to her." Complained Sirius. James thought to himself that he didn't half mind that she stopped by all of the time. Every man could use a woman's touch in life.
"Well if that what it takes to get out of here on time, then so be it. But I do have to admit that you two do look good tonight." Both of them smiled.
"Hey, do I smell alright to you?" Asked James.
"I don't know, come here so I can get a wiff." James walked up to Lily and bent down so Lily could smell where he had put the cologne on his neck. "Mmm." She replied. "Smells good."
"Lily, I'm expecting to get laid tonight. Do I look like I'm trying too hard?" Asked Sirius.
"You look fine. I guess you don't mind having me around all of the time now, do you?"
"How could we live without you Lily? You're our personal dating guide. Now all you have to do is cook and clean for us and we'll be all set!" Said James. Sirius gave him a high five.
"The sad thing is that I do that already. I can't help it if I'm motherly. It will come in handy when I'm a mother." Said Lily.
"Oh and do you expect to have Mr. Diggory's little babies or perhaps you'd prefer a little Sirius Jr?" James's blood boiled at the thought of Amos or Sirius impregnating Lily.
"Never in this life will I have your baby Sirius. And how dare you even think of impregnating me!"
"Don't worry Lily, I could never stand a child who nags as much as you do. And I mean that in the nicest way possible." Lily shook her head.
"Come on. We better be going." Lily dissapperated to the restaurant with a pop and just before Sirius followed he said "Besides, if I ever do knock her up it probably wouldn't be on purpose." Sirius winked and dissapperated. James laughed and caught up with his friends at the restaurant.
"James!" Called out Georgia. She was wearing tight leather pants and a tiny tank top. The restaurant they chose was an Indian Cuisine place so they didn't have to be too dressy. "Hey!" Said James walking to her. He gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. They walked over to a table where Lily, Amos, Sirius, and raven-haired beauty, he assumed was Kristin, were all sitting. "Kristin, this is James Potter. James, Kristin Jones."
"Nice to meet you James. Come sit down already! It feels like we've been waiting for ages!" Said Kristin happily. James sat down between Lily, who was next to Amos, and Georgia, who was on the other side of Sirius.
"Amos, you remember James from the party I assume." Said Lily turning to Amos.
"Not quite. Where you the one who took off your shirt and starting acting like a raving lunatic?" He asked.
"No actually that was my friend Peter." Responded James.
"Oh." Said Amos abruptly.
"James was Head Boy back in Hogwarts." Said Lily trying to lighten the tension between the two men.
"Ooh, James you were? That's so great of you!" Exclaimed Georgia who had started to rub his arm.
"Um, thanks, I think." Said James not really sure of how to respond.
"Yeah, we were all really surprised when he got it because he was one of the biggest trouble makers in the school next to yours truly of course." Said Sirius putting his arm around Kristin. Kristin "accidentally" moved her arm and knocked his arm off of the back of her chair.
"Oops." She said. "Sorry."
"No worries." Replied Sirius.
"You were a trouble maker, eh? Oh, now I remember! Potter! You used to play Quidditch on the Gryffindor team, right?" Inquired Amos.
"Ever since my third year."
"I remember you from a few games. I was the Hufflepuff beater, and you were a keeper?"
"A Chaser."
"Oh, sorry if I knocked a few bludgers into you then." Said Amos not sounding one bit apologetic.
"That's alright. Its part of the game."
"Tell me, why was it that you didn't pursue Quidditch as a career when you graduated? Lily told me that you were very talented on a broom." James felt extremely flattered that Lily had spoken so highly of his Quidditch talents to her new boyfriend.
"Well, I did consider it and I had the chance to travel around with one of Great Britain's top teams but I wanted to do something more in my life than Quidditch. So that's why I began Auror Training."
"Well in this day and age you must be very brave to become an Auror. Not that I'm questioning your bravery."
"Yes, you do have to be brave to become an Auror."
"Mmm, James, bravery is so sexy." Said Georgia downing her second glass of wine. She began to kiss James's neck softly and for some odd reason, Lily had the tiniest urge to go and blast Georgia into 10000 tiny pieces. The urge soon passed when she realized that slutty secretaries that hang around in pubs are never the greatest dates, even for gits like James.
~*~
The heated conversations didn't stop there. It seemed like Amos was testing him for something or trying to get something out of him. James felt like he had committed a crime and was being interrogated by the Ministry. Meanwhile, Georgia had doubled her alcohol consumption and was flirting with Sirius. James started to realize why he had met Georgia at a bar at noon. Lily had soon given up on trying to make nice small talk and was now discussing muggle literature with Kristin who happened to have a muggle grandmother who force fed her everything in the muggle world. They were discussing an author named Dickens and the two girls seemed to be having a good time.
"You know they say that beaters are the most important players in a game. They also happen to say that the Chasers are some of the least talented out on the field." Stated Amos cockily.
"Now wait just one minute.!" James began.
"I love all of the symbolism he uses throughout his novels." (A/N: I'm making this up. I wouldn't know symbolism in Dickens if it bit me in the ass. oh wait, the wine in A Tale of Two Cities was symbolic for blood! Haha beat that Ms. Sohn!) Said Lily.
"There's no way that Ludo Bagman could ever become Minister of Magic when he retires! That man is a bloody idiot!" Shouted James at Amos.
"Mmm, do you know what I want to do to you right now?" Asked Georgia slurring half of her words.
"What?" Asked Sirius. Georgia began to whisper pretty nothings into his ear and a grin spread across his face. "One minute G." He said to Georgia who looked some what disappointed. Sirius got up and pulled James aside, which was good for him because he looked like he was about to kill Amos Diggory right there at the table.
"Hey James, do you mind if I bring G back to the flat for the night?" Questioned Sirius.
"Uh?" Asked James not even paying attention to what his best friend was saying.
"Would you mind if you stayed at Lily's for the night or something? I want to bring Georgia back to the flat."
"But I thought Georgia was my date." Said James.
"She is your date. That's why I'm asking you."
"Do whatever you want. I sure hope Lily doesn't mind me crashing on her couch."
"Thanks Prongs. Hey, when you bring someone home, I'll go sleep at Lily's."
"Yeah right, like I'm ever going to bring someone home."
"What about Kristin? She's nice." Suggested Sirius.
"I don't know. I'm not in the mood. You better get going or I think Georgia might jump on top of you right here." Sirius grinned.
"You know, that might not be so bad if you think about it."
"Sirius, I don't want to think about it. Now get out of her already."
A few minutes later, Sirius and Georgia were on their way back to the flat and James felt like once again he was in the hot seat. Lily noticed the ever rising tension between her boyfriend and her friend and decided to put an end to it. "Oh, look at the time! I've got a job interview in the morning. James, don't you think its time you be getting home too?"
"Uh yeah, I have to go over to my mum's place to help her with some stuff." Said James thinking of a quick excuse.
"Nice meeting you Kristin. We should get together some time."
"Okay, I'll owl you tomorrow or something." Said Kristin
"Sounds great to me!" The two girls hugged and Lily turned to Amos and gave him a quick peck on the cheek. "We really must be going. I had a great time. I'll talk to you later Amos. James, aren't you going to say goodbye?" She asked turning to him.
"Diggory, it was nice talking with you. Nice meeting you Kristin." And with a loud pop, Lily and James in the hallway by Lily's door.
"What was your problem tonight?!" She exclaimed taking out her keys and opening the door.
"My problem, don't you mean his problem. You were there! He was absolutely ruthless!" Argued James as he followed Lily inside.
"Well that's just his personality." She said putting down her pocket book.
"So you mean to tell me that he's like that all the time and you're still attracted to him?" Asked James.
"Not all of the time and yes I'm attracted to him but for other reasons." Said Lily.
"Oh like what, his important job at the Ministry? His family? Or is it his big- -" Shouted James.
"That's enough of that! Besides, how would I know? I haven't slept with him yet."
"Yet?!" Yelled James. Lily sighed.
"James will you just please shut up?"
"No I will not."
"Fine then, would you like to know the real reason that Amos was acting like that? He's jealous of you, alright?" James was stunned. Here he was being jealous of him for being with the girl of his dreams, and Diggory was jealous of him?
"Jealous of me? Why?"
"He's jealous because he knows that you where my first real boyfriend and that you're still in my life. He's jealous because he knows that when I'm not with him, I'm with you or Sirius. He think you still have feelings for me James." Lily laughed.
"What's so funny?"
"Amos thinking that you still have feelings for me. That's not true.right?" James gulped. Right now he could tell Lily everything. Now was the moment of truth. James forced a laugh.
"Of course its not true! We broke up ages ago!" Exclaimed James trying to be the best actor he could be. Lily laughed.
"That's exactly what I told him." Lily smiled and James smiled back. He had the sudden urge to hold her in his arms and hug her tight but he resisted and settled for a smile. "So do you need a place to sleep since I assumed that Sirius screwing that Georgia girl?" James nodded and Lily reached under the couch and pulled out a pillow and a few blankets. "I wish I had a nightshirt or something to give you but it looks like you're going to have to sleep in your cloths."
"Lily, are you forgetting that I'm a full pledged wizard? I can just conjure up a pair of sweat pants and an undershirt. I'll spare you the glory of me sleeping in the nude."
"Mmm, don't make me excited just before I go to bed." She joked. "Well, goodnight."
"Goodnight." He said quietly. Lily blew out the last candle in the room and headed off to her room. And James had the best sleep of his life knowing that Diggory was back at his house being jealous of him.

"Yes, I think it was the word 'holidays'." Responded James sourly. Lily cocked an eyebrow.
"Why, what happened?" She asked with concern.
"Ugh, I don't want to talk about it." And with that Sirius turned his head and saw a lovely blonde sitting at the bar. She was absolutely gorgeous.

"Time to turn on that old Potter charm." Said James gleefully as he trodded over to the bar and sat next to the blonde. Sirius sat back down with Lily.
"He's doing it?" She asked. Sirius nodded.
"That man needs to get laid. Its been too long." Said Sirius.
"Shh! I want to try and hear them!"
"I'm James Potter." Said James suavely smiling and holding out his hand.
"Georgia." Said the blonde shaking his hand. James took her hand and kissed it.
"What a lovely name for a lovely woman." Georgia giggled.
About twenty minutes later, Georgia left the Leaky Cauldron and James returned to his friends looking happier than ever. "So how'd it go?" Asked Lily.
"Well, it turns out that she was smiling at Sirius but that's okay because she said I caught her eye first."
"What can I say, the Blacks are known for their ridiculously good looks." Interjected Sirius.
"What's her name?" Asked Lily.
"Georgia Shaw, and she's a secretary at the Ministry of Magic." Said James. "Anyways, we started talking and I asked her out on a date."
"All right Prongs! Good for you!" Exclaimed Sirius.
"Then she suggested that she hook you up with her friend Kristin and we all go on a double date together Saturday." Said James.
"Is she hot?" Questioned Sirius.
"From what Georgia said about her, yes."
"I'm in."
"Hey, what about me?" Inquired Lily.
"What about you?" Responded James.
"Why can't we make it a triple date? I could bring Amos along and we could all have a good time together." Suggested Lily. Sirius looked at James who had been hiding his annoyance quite well.
"Well, sure I guess. But I would have to owl Georgia and let her know and ask if its alright with her." Said James.
"Great, so its like a threesome?" Joked Sirius.
"Unless it envolves half of us having sex afterwards then no, it is nothing like a threesome. I think the word you're searching for is 'Triple Date'." Said James.
"But a Triple Date is kind of like a threesome! Besides, it sounds cooler if you say that you're having a threesome Saturday night when someone asks if you're busy or not." Sirius smirked and Lily and James laughed. A threesome it was.

The next day after a particularly boring class of Auror training (How to remember the proper encantation in a dangerous situation), James owled Georgia asking if his friend Lily and her boyfriend could come along with them. To James's dismay, she replied "The more the merrier" and told Lily. Lily was excited and ran off to tell Amos the news. James then scolded himself for not pretending that Georgia had said no.
Saturday night approached before they knew it and Lily was sitting in the boy's living room ready to go waiting for her two friends. "Come on!" She shouted. "You two are even worse than me." Sirius and James came into the living room looking very handsome and ready for their "threesome".
"Merlin, she moves next-door and already its like we're married to her." Complained Sirius. James thought to himself that he didn't half mind that she stopped by all of the time. Every man could use a woman's touch in life.
"Well if that what it takes to get out of here on time, then so be it. But I do have to admit that you two do look good tonight." Both of them smiled.

"How could we live without you Lily? You're our personal dating guide. Now all you have to do is cook and clean for us and we'll be all set!" Said James. Sirius gave him a high five.
"The sad thing is that I do that already. I can't help it if I'm motherly. It will come in handy when I'm a mother." Said Lily.
"Oh and do you expect to have Mr. Diggory's little babies or perhaps you'd prefer a little Sirius Jr?" James's blood boiled at the thought of Amos or Sirius impregnating Lily.
"Never in this life will I have your baby Sirius. And how dare you even think of impregnating me!"

Lily had soon given up on trying to make nice small talk and was now discussing muggle literature with Kristin who happened to have a muggle grandmother who force fed her everything in the muggle world. They were discussing an author named Dickens and the two girls seemed to be having a good time.
"You know they say that beaters are the most important players in a game. They also happen to say that the Chasers are some of the least talented out on the field." Stated Amos cockily.
"Now wait just one minute.!" James began.
"I love all of the symbolism he uses throughout his novels." (A/N: I'm making this up. I wouldn't know symbolism in Dickens if it bit me in the ass. oh wait, the wine in A Tale of Two Cities was symbolic for blood! Haha beat that Ms. Sohn!) Said Lily.
"There's no way that Ludo Bagman could ever become Minister of Magic when he retires! That man is a bloody idiot!" Shouted James at Amos.
"Mmm, do you know what I want to do to you right now?" Asked Georgia slurring half of her words.
"What?" Asked Sirius. Georgia began to whisper pretty nothings into his ear and a grin spread across his face. "One minute G." He said to Georgia who looked some what disappointed. Sirius got up and pulled James aside, which was good for him because he looked like he was about to kill Amos Diggory right there at the table.
"Hey James, do you mind if I bring G back to the flat for the night?" Questioned Sirius.
"Uh?" Asked James not even paying attention to what his best friend was saying.
"Would you mind if you stayed at Lily's for the night or something? I want to bring Georgia back to the flat."
"But I thought Georgia was my date." Said James.
"She is your date. That's why I'm asking you."
"Do whatever you want. I sure hope Lily doesn't mind me crashing on her couch."
"Thanks Prongs. Hey, when you bring someone home, I'll go sleep at Lily's."
"Yeah right, like I'm ever going to bring someone home."
"What about Kristin? She's nice." Suggested Sirius.
"I don't know. I'm not in the mood. You better get going or I think Georgia might jump on top of you right here." Sirius grinned.
"You know, that might not be so bad if you think about it."
"Sirius, I don't want to think about it. Now get out of her already."
A few minutes later, Sirius and Georgia were on their way back to the flat and James felt like once again he was in the hot seat. Lily noticed the ever rising tension between her boyfriend and her friend and decided to put an end to it. "Oh, look at the time! I've got a job interview in the morning. James, don't you think its time you be getting home too?"
"Uh yeah, I have to go over to my mum's place to help her with some stuff." Said James thinking of a quick excuse.
"Nice meeting you Kristin. We should get together some time."
"Okay, I'll owl you tomorrow or something." Said Kristin
"Sounds great to me!" The two girls hugged and Lily turned to Amos and gave him a quick peck on the cheek. "We really must be going. I had a great time. I'll talk to you later Amos. James, aren't you going to say goodbye?" She asked turning to him.
"Diggory, it was nice talking with you. Nice meeting you Kristin." And with a loud pop, Lily and James in the hallway by Lily's door.
"What was your problem tonight?!" She exclaimed taking out her keys and opening the door.
"My problem, don't you mean his problem. You were there! He was absolutely ruthless!" Argued James as he followed Lily inside.
"Well that's just his personality." She said putting down her pocket book.
"So you mean to tell me that he's like that all the time and you're still attracted to him?" Asked James.
"Not all of the time and yes I'm attracted to him but for other reasons." Said Lily.
"Oh like what, his important job at the Ministry? His family? Or is it his big- -" Shouted James.
"That's enough of that! Besides, how would I know? I haven't slept with him yet."
"Yet?!" Yelled James. Lily sighed.
"James will you just please shut up?"
"No I will not."
"Fine then, would you like to know the real reason that Amos was acting like that? He's jealous of you, alright?" James was stunned. Here he was being jealous of him for being with the girl of his dreams, and Diggory was jealous of him?
"Jealous of me? Why?"
"He's jealous because he knows that you where my first real boyfriend and that you're still in my life. He's jealous because he knows that when I'm not with him, I'm with you or Sirius. He think you still have feelings for me James." Lily laughed.
"What's so funny?"
"Amos thinking that you still have feelings for me. That's not true.right?" James gulped. Right now he could tell Lily everything. Now was the moment of truth. James forced a laugh.
"Of course its not true! We broke up ages ago!" Exclaimed James trying to be the best actor he could be. Lily laughed.
"That's exactly what I told him." Lily smiled and James smiled back. He had the sudden urge to hold her in his arms and hug her tight but he resisted and settled for a smile. "So do you need a place to sleep since I assumed that Sirius screwing that Georgia girl?" James nodded and Lily reached under the couch and pulled out a pillow and a few blankets. "I wish I had a nightshirt or something to give you but it looks like you're going to have to sleep in your cloths."
"Lily, are you forgetting that I'm a full pledged wizard? I can just conjure up a pair of sweat pants and an undershirt. I'll spare you the glory of me sleeping in the nude."
"Mmm, don't make me excited just before I go to bed." She joked. "Well, goodnight."
"Goodnight." He said quietly. Lily blew out the last candle in the room and headed off to her room. And James had the best sleep of his life knowing that Diggory was back at his house being jealous of him.
