CHAPTER TEN

LOVERS' QUARRLE

The next morning, Lily was woken up very suddenly — and early — by a hyper Sirius. " Lilikins! Get up! Wake up and smell the bacon! Or is it the toast? Never mind. Just WAKE UP!" he screamed.

            "What do you want? It's too early to be up it's only — AH! It's eight! We're gonna be late. Sirius, why didn't you wake me up?" Lily screeched.

            "Lily! Will you shut up? It's too early in the morning!" Emily yelled from her bed.

            "Emily! Bridget! Jen! It's eight! Classes start in half an hour!" Lily wailed, grabbing her clothes and comb.

            "What are you talking about? I'm always the first one up and I don't wake up till 7." Bridget said through the opening of her curtains.

            "What?" Lily said, looking at Sirius. When she saw him struggling to hold back a grin, Lily ran at him, whacking him with her bag. "What did you do? Tell me!" Lily screamed, waking up all the girls.

            "OK! I — ouch — just turned your — ouch — clocks forward. Stop hitting me. There, now you know. OW! What was that for?" Sirius asked, rubbing the back of his head where Jen had just smacked him.

            "That was for turning our clocks forward. Now get out. As we're already up, we'll get dressed. Out!" Jen commanded, pushing Sirius out the door.

            Soon all of the girls were dressed with the exception of Samira, who slept with earplugs.

            "Why do you always sleep with them? You won't be able to hear your alarm clock." They had asked her once in 2nd year.

            "Because I need my beauty sleep and I can't get it with you four always jabbering away until one in the morning. Anyway, they have a special spell so I get woken up at the right time." She had told them.

            The girls quickly got dressed and went downstairs to find the Common Room completely deserted.

            "Ok, so Sirius decided to deprive of us of our beauty sleep. And then he went back to sleep. Do you see something wrong with that, girls?" Jen asked, looking at the others.

            "Defiantly. But how do we know which ones to blame?" Emily said. Jen looked around at her three friends. A smile soon spread across her face.

            "Well, let's see. Emily can take Remus. Lily, you'll have your boyfriend. Bridget, you can take James. As for me… I've got Sirius. Ready girls?" Jen asked.

            "Yes!"

            "Of course!"

            "Girl Power!"

            With that, the four girls crept up the stairs to the boys' dormitories. They slowly tiptoed up to their victims and pulled away their curtains.

            " Ready? Get set. Go." Lily mouthed. At 'Go' all four of the girls pounced on their prey and screamed as loud as they could.  

            "WAKE UP! ROSS! GET UP AND SMELL THE PERFUME. COME ON SNUGGLES! UP! UP! UP!" Lily crowed. Ross jumped up, but as Lily was right above his head, he hit her.

            "Ow!!" Lily yelled                                                                       

            "Ouch. Damn that hurt!"

            "WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE!"

            "WATCH WHERE YOU PUT YOUR HEAD!"

            "YOU SCREAMED AND SCARED ME!"

            "WELL YOU… YOU WOKE US UP AN DEPRIVED US OF SLEEP!"

            "What are you talking about? I didn't do anything. I was just sleeping. It was all Sirius." Ross said, calming down and rubbing his head.

            "Oops. Sorry." Sirius said sheepishly.

            "Come on Remus. We need to plan some revenge. And I don't want to get in the middle of this lovers' quarrel." James said, dragging Remus out. Sirius also went with them with another muttered 'sorry'.

            "So it wasn't you?" Lily asked, sitting on the bed.

            "Nope. Now. Say sorry. But you'll pay." Ross said, grinning. He touched his head. "Make it all better." He commanded. Lily obediently kissed his forehead and then settled onto Ross's shoulder. She sighed.

            "What's up?"

            "Nothing. I'm just tired. Too much work yesterday. What is it with guys and not wearing shirts to sleep?" Lily complained.

            "What, you want me to start now? How 'bout we switch?  I wear a shirt and you ditch yours?" Ross said, grinning.

            "How about not? But we better get up." Lily said, stretching.

            "Fine, fine."

            They got up and walked out of the dorm.
