Lily and Halley/ 6:30pm
"Hey Halley, can I borrow your broom for tonight?"
"Um…sure, I guess…"
"Thanks"
"What do you want it for?"
"Oh just to show that git Potter someone can beat him at his own game"
"Oh can you fly, Lily? I didn't know that. Have you tried out for the team?"
"I haven't flown since lessons in first year!"
Halley's Broom

Quiddich pitch
Lily is striding out confidently. James is already there, hovering off the ground. The pitch is illuminated by enchantments on the stands and the goal posts. The opposers glare at each other. Lily is determined. James is cocky. James called out
"Didn't know you had a broom lying around Lily"
Lily responds "Why do you think you know anything about me? Now are we going to get this over and done with? Because I can think of places I'd much rather be, like on the other side of the world from you"
"James smiles smugly and says "Oh really? I though we would make the most of these moments together, by staring up at the stars. Our first hot date together, and with any luck, the first of many."
"Oh just get over yourself, Lily snapped. "I'm flying now. If you can get as high as me, good for you. I am NOT scared."

Falling
Falling. Gravity. Cold. Timeless. Silence. Blurred. Panic. Slow. Thud. Landed. Soft. Looking up at him from his arms.
Most embarrassing moment
Honey: I like got this massive pimple on my chin, and because I wanted to look my best for James, I tried to disguise it by covering it with a natural eye shadow. Unfortunately, it was the type that changed colour in the sun, and everyone saw the blue splodge, including James!
Hallie: Getting changed in my parent's car at night, and being pulled up by the police when I had my snow pants off, but my jeans not on yet.
Remus: I was out at the three broom sticks, talking to this really great girl, getting really into her, dancing and pashing her. Suddenly a friend of her's came up and said "Norma, did you get those charms essay's marked?" I WAS PASHING MY CHARMS TEACHER! And worst of all, the first lesion on Monday morning was….Charms.
Sonja: My Life???
Claudia: I predicted wrongly one divination lesion! I said that Peter's watch would stop at 1:52, and it was Honey's!
Sirius: I publicly thanked Polly for an exciting night, only to be told it was all a dream
Peter: Professor McGonagall asked me, in front of the entire class, to describe different types of wand movements, but I though she said movies, so I started talking about the differences between Action, Horror and Comedy. I didn't go to transfiguration after that for weeks!
James: Right now
Lily: Right now
Why Sirius Couldn't Concentrate In Potions
-There are so many more interesting things than hovering potions.
-He didn't have any use for a hovering potion anyway, because he was already floating on air
-Who wants to add fluxweed to crushed scarab beetles?
'-What if one of those scarab beetles was one that saved my life the other day by landing on that insane cat Snape owns?'
-Honey wouldn't be impressed by a hovering Potion
-He was alone friend wise in this class as he was the only marauder doing double potions extended.
-Honey's smile
-Claudia, his cauldron partner was trying to steal ingredients from the cupboard to make an inner sight potion, to predict the future more correctly.
-Honey.
Sirius's Angel
Excuse me Professor Rictoor? My Name's Honey Crownth. Oh I do wish I was still studying potions. It looks so fascinating. What are we doing today? Wow a hovering potion. That's so amazing. I do so wish I hadn't dropped potions. I regret it so much now. Of course, you weren't teaching when I made my decision. Oh by the way, I was wondering if I could borrow one of your students? Sirius Black? For the rest of the lesson? Oh thank you very much Professor.
Sirius and Honey
"Thank you. I'm forever in your debt"
"So hovering potions didn't thrill you?"
"Um…no"
"I'm glad. Like would they thrill anyone?"
"Rictoor it seems"
"Oh him! He like totally fell for the potion deprived school girl act! I like so can't believe that, honestly!"
"He seemed thrilled that someone actually seemed to care about his teaching, even if it is someone who dropped potions at the first point possible"
Did you really think I'd risk my nails by chopping up those ghastly plants? The thought of that just didn't thrill me I suppose."
"Do you want to know what would thrill me?"
And with that, Sirius grabbed Honey around the waist, and pushed her behind a suit of armour. Sirius's last though before he let his mind slip in to a trance when Honey kissed him was 'This is what happens when you use the direct approach, James'
Imaginifff….you were a source of water, what would you be?
Honey: A Beautiful Fountain
Sirius: A Raging river
Peter: A Tap
James: A river more raging than Sirius's
Sonja: A well
Lily: A Waterfall
Remus: A Lake
Claudia: A Mystic bird bath
Halley: A swimming pool
Professor Rictoor : A compound of 1 part oxygen and 2 parts of hydrogen
Calm Before the Storm
Lily is lying on her bed, cursing the fact that her discman refuses to work in the Hogwarts grounds. She is thinking about various things including how much she hates flying, how much she hates James, how she wish it had have been anyone except James who saved her life last night. She is also wondering what on earth Honey could see in James, which was quite a usual thought for her. She is blissfully unaware of what Honey is going to tell her when she bounces through the door in the next few seconds. After that, there will be no bliss for quite a while.
