Left With YOU
Chapter 8
By Mrs. Prongs
Author's Note: You know, there were a few things I would have liked to address in this note, but I totally and completely forgot. I blame it on all of the Green Day I listen to.

After passing several shops, Lily stopped and turned towards her captive.
"James? Do you have any money?," she asked, with furrowed eyebrows.
"Er...," James checked his pockets.
James turned around and headed towards the area they had just stalked away from. Well, more like the place Lily dragged him away from.
"Where are you going?!," she called after him.
James looked back towards Lily. "Where do you think?," he replied, waving her off.
-------------------
"Hey, hey, I guess it's all," Sirius stopped to count heads. "Five of us now."
"Great." Stephanie said dully.
"It is great, isn't it, Steph?," Alex said, sighing. She walked over to Sirius.
"Oh, bloody fantastic."
Remus spoke. "Well, Jenny and I could leave-"
Stephanie's eyes widened. "NO. Don't leave. I don't want to be left with them. You don't know how terrible it is," she said, running over to the werewolf and grabbing his arm in protest.
"-or not," Remus smiled politely.
"Thank you. I really owe you one," she said sighing in relief. She noticed Jenny frowning. "Well, it wasn't as if you two were going to do anything, anyway!," she exclaimed.
"PADFOOT!," a voice echoed through the air before Jenny could answer.
The quintet turned to see James making his way down the cobblestone road.
"WHAT, PRONGSIE?," Sirius said, agitated as he was in the middle of talking to his favourite Ravenclaw.
"I need to borrow some money," James replied. Sirius glared. "Actually, Padfoot, old buddy, I need some of the money you owe me that I never expected to receive anyway." James slapped him on the back.
"Too bad, Prongs. It's all up in the castle," he said, pointing to the school.
"Well, then give me the firework!"
"No."
"Yes!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
"Yes before I hex you to death!," James said angrily. The bastard owed him money, and wouldn't even give him a measly Filibuster.
Sirius looked at Remus expectantly. "What do you want me to do?," Remus asked. "I'd give it to him. You know James."
Padfoot's face fell. "Thanks a lot, Moony," he said grugingly, handing the firework to Prongs.
"Thanks," James said and turned to walk away.
Stephanie stepped in. "Where are you going?"
"To find Lily. She's probably trying to catch up."
"Well, you could stay with us," she said, "and Lily can, too," the girl added as an afterthought.
James smiled. "That's a good idea. Then we can get twice the stuff on the list without the extra work. You know, split up into teams to get the items faster."
"JAMES!"
"Right here Lily!," he called.
"What are you guys doing?," Lily asked, jogging up to the crowd. "And where's the money?," she asked, looking at James.
James held up his hand in which the firework was held.
Lily looked from James's hand to Sirius, who was looking quite defeated.
"How did you get it?," she asked.
"That's not important," James said, grinning.
Alex gasped, walking over to her best friend. "What about James's underpants?", she whispered.
"What about them?," Steph asked, quite loudly.
Just as Alexandra expected, everyone turned towards them.
"What about what?," James asked.
Remus answered, realizing what the girls were discussing. Rather, what Alex was trying to discuss and what Stephanie wasn't following along with. "Nothing about nothing."
James shook his head. "You guys are really starting to scare me."
Author's Note: Mrs. Padfoot and I have decided instead of having our usual 10 chapter story, we're going to go up a bit higher this time. Not only are the installments shorter than usual, but there are just so many ideas in our head that can't be fit into 2 more chapters.
