A/N- Here it is…

Sirius snuck in the common room late at night darting and hiding behind furniture. In his hand he held a paper bag with… something in it. Waiting patiently with an evil grin on his face, he continued plotting out the finer details of his plan.

"Alright Sirius. We're here. Now what do you want? And by the way, it isn't that smart to be hiding behind furniture when you're right by the fire… We can see you rather clearly," Claire said smirking as she drew away from the shadows by an armchair. Behind her stood Ayrah, Peter, and Remus.

Sirius scowled at Claire. "Well, then I suppose you just won't hear about my new BRILLIANT plan," he said sniffing.

"Okay. Can we go back up to bed then?" Ayrah asked.

"NO WAIT!" Sirius said before lowering his voice as it was around midnight. "Stay. I have just acquired the enchanted mistletoe," he whispered grandly dumping a grubby looking plant onto the common room floor.

"Sirius, it's still November! Let's wait until December to put that thing up! It'll just be a couple of weeks," Ayrah said a bit exasperatingly. In other words, she wanted to go back to sleep and not plan out something that should be done in a month's time.

"But we can't wait! Lily and James must be together as soon as possible," Sirius whined. They could all see that it was no use arguing with him so they all waited patiently (or not so patiently) for him to outline their plans.

"Okay! First I think we should do this tomorrow. I plan to levitate this in the Common Room. What better time than when they're arguing over homework or whatever they do argue about?" Sirius asked happily. The other five saw his point. It would make much more sense to do this in the privacy of the Common Room as opposed to the hallway. And Lily and James were both in here a lot. "All I have to do is wingardium leviosa it over their heads, and boom! They have to stay there in their position until they go smoochy-smooch!"

" 'smoochy-smooch?' Honestly, Sirius, the term is kiss," Claire informed him rolling her eyes.

Sirius glared at her. "I will say as I please! Okay, five o'clock tomorrow?" he asked.

"That's fine," Remus said yawning. "And now I'm going to bed." He gave all of them a quick wave and Ayrah a quick peck.

"We should go too… We need lots of energy to wake up Lily tomorrow," Claire said thinking of unwake-able Lily. The two girls all said their goodnights and went up.

Sirius picked up the plant gingerly and set it in the bag.

"This'll be really interesting!" he commented happily to Peter.

"Won't they be really mad though?" Peter asked worriedly.

"Trust me Pete, they'll thank me for this later," Sirius said confidentally.

"The last time you said those words I ended up with a detention and with Malfoy and Snape beating me up," Peter muttered.

"Yes, but those were Slytherins! James and Lily are so much more different," Sirius said waving aside Peter's comment.

"I'm not so sure about that…"

Lily woke up feeling very… refreshed. She felt wide awake and had a happy feeling. Wait a minute… LILY woke up feeling refreshed? She furrowed her brow at the impossibility of the statement. Where was Claire screaming at her to get up? Where was Ayrah, quietly dumping water on her head? Judging from the light streaming in the window it seemed to be about the end of breakfast… ABOUT THE END OF BREAKFAST? She gasped in horror, all curiosity gone. Jumping from her bed she saw that the drawn curtains around the other two girls were really because they were still asleep, not because they had already gone down. Lily sprinted toward her closet all the while screaming her head off.

"CLAIRE DUCRIA!!!! GET UP NOW! AYRAH YOU TOO!" Tousled heads peeked out of the blood-red curtains. By now Lily had changed into her uniform and was running a brush through her long, silky locks of auburn hair. She wouldn't have time to put it up and keep it out of the way she thought irritably. "CLASS STARTS IN TEN MINUTES!!! GET YOUR ARSES OUT OF BED NOW!" Lily screamed at their slightly sleepy and befuddled looks. That definitely started them.

"Lily!" whined Claire "Why didn't you wake us up EARLIER?"

"I was kind of asleep Claire," Lily said dryly. "Now I'm going down to class, you better hurry up. And why were you so late anyway? How late did you stay up?" she asked incredulously.

The two girls glanced at each other. They couldn't tell Lily that they were up because of Sirius's plan!

Lily rolled her eyes at their unwillingness to tell her. "Never mind, I will probably find out later anyways," she said and walked out the door. The two blinked at the door for a moment before immediately springing into action.

Lily narrowed her eyes at her stupid bird, which did not want to become a pillow. James was by her and had already made about a dozen pillows, but she wasn't about to ask HIM for any help. She looked around the busy classroom seeing many who didn't have any more luck than Lily. Her eyes rested on Sirius who sat behind her. He could transfigure, he HAD to help her. So dragging Sirius to her desk she forced him to help her.

"So how exactly do you do this, Sirius?" she asked him briskly.

"Li-ly! Jamsie is right next to you! You can ask him to help! I was in the middle of… socializing!" Sirius pouted.

"Ahh… 'socializing..' Your new word for 'flirting shamelessly with your fan club.' Help. Me. And I'm not going to ask James for help. He wouldn't help me anyways," she pointed out. This got James's attention.

"Hey, I'm not that heartless! I would too help!" he protested while Lily snorted. "See look, Miss Head Girl-"

"See Sirius? This is why he can't help me. He'll be making snide comments about how incompetent I am while he helps me!" she exploded to Sirius. But… Sirius had already started 'socializing' again. She sighed irritably.

"As I was saying…" James continued in a horribly condescending tone.

"James cut the crap and tell me what to do!" Lily hissed at him.

"Fine," James said shortly. "You must not be aiming your wand right. You have to point it directly at the bird's left wing after the second circle."

Lily tried it. And it worked. Her parrot had immediately turned into a nice, white, plump pillow. She scowled at James.

"What? No 'thank you?'" he asked her.

"Fine. Thank. You," Lily said spitting the words out. James looked immensely pleased at this while Lily sulked.

"Are you ready?" Sirius asked in a stage whisper to Ayrah and Claire who looked a bit impatient.

"Sirius, that whisper is loud enough to carry over to Lily and James, if you want to whisper, actually whisper," Claire hissed.

"And why wouldn't we be ready? We really don't have anything to do but levitate that little plant over their heads. YOU'LL have the hard job of getting them close enough for this to work," Ayrah said lowering her voice and glancing behind the sofa to where Lily and James were. They were each at a separate table, Lily working on her homework, and James being fawned over by the girls. Ayrah had just noticed how nauseated he looked. Before, she had just assumed that he enjoyed all the attention. Perhaps this was the better side of James Potter, the side that was constantly being irked by Lily since it knew that all she said was true. She stopped her musings and paid attention.

"Hey James!" Sirius said happily barging through the gaggle of admirers. The girls immediately parted for Sirius without a second thought. "Come over here!" he dragged James away from the girls over to two chairs at Lily's table. The girls saw this as a 'serious conference' between the 'two hottest guys in Hogwarts' and left with a bit of disappointment. Once they had all left Sirius poke Lily in the arm.

"SIRIUS!!!!" she yelled at him. "LOOK AT THAT! YOU JUST RUINED MY WHOLE PAPER!" she screamed at him brandishing her ink-blotted page. Scowling at the curious looks, she muttered something and flicked her wand. All the ink disappeared. "What was that for anyway?"

"I felt like it," Sirius said nonchalantly. "See? I'll even get James just so you won't feel all alone being the only one I poked," he said cheerfully. Lily sighed at his childlike behavior and immediately went back down to her paper. Sirius poked James's arm also. Well, actually he shoved James's arm so that James was in rather close proximity to Lily. He glanced behind him to the sofa.

Rose and Ayrah brought their wands up whispering, "Wingardium Leviosa," and aimed it right over Lily and James's heads.

"You didn't have to crush me you know!" Lily was saying to James.

"It's not my fault! Sirius pushed me!" James yelled back.

"Oh, and how mature is that? Blaming everything on everyone else? A little poke wouldn't make you fall into me!" Lily said angrily as she took out another huge inkblot. "Well, I'm going upstairs so I can actually continue this paper in peace," she said huffily as she got up. And crashed back down. "WHAT THE…?" she yelled looking for the invisible force that had pulled her back.

James wasn't even commenting on her rude descent back into her chair. He was looking above her head. She looked above too.

Mistletoe.

He was really going to have to kill Sirius for this. Sure, they'd used it for a lot of pranks on people, but playing a prank like this with him and Lily… That was out of line. Not that they were ever in line either, but it was out of Marauder line. Or James line. Obviously, Sirius was not giving up on his idea of having Lily and James be together.

"SIRIUS!" Lily screeched.

"Hmmm? Well, the girls and I must go and… research something in the Library. See you later!" Sirius said waving her goodbye before disappearing into thin air. Wait a minute… thin air?

"Sirius wherever you are give my cloak back," James hissed to the air next to him. Lily looked rather confused. "I mean it Sirius, give it back! And do the counter spell for this stupid plant!"

The air by him chuckled. "A true Marauder. Yet, you of all people should know that there is NO counter spell for enchanted mistletoe." Lily looked as if in deep thought.

"So you've got an invisibility cloak…" she said commenting to James.

"And look! Now you've given it away to her!" James said furiously.

"Hey you didn't have to talk to me," Sirius said.

"I refuse to… to… kiss that tub of guts across from me," Lily said furiously.

"Fine then. You'll be stuck like this for eternity," Sirius said gleefully.

James groaned in frustration. There was no way out of this. Well, he was going to take his time. He was going to annoy Sirius so much. He would not do this until he absolutely HAD to.

It was 11 o'clock and Lily had already finished all her homework. It had been three hours since Sirius had put the mistletoe over them and he stood in front of them now in the Common Room looking worn out and pleading.

"PLEEEEASE! James, Lily, PLEASE! Then we can all go!" he beggged.

"You can go now if you want," Lily said.

"And miss this? No way!" Sirius said incredulously.

"I'm not giving in," James said.

"Neither am I," Lily said equally as determined.

"ARGH! Well, remember guys, I'm doing what is right for all of us," Sirius said as he walked up to them. He tipped James's chair forward and pushed Lily toward James.

They kissed. Lily saw in slow motion as Sirius pushed her, coming closer and closer and closer… She saw James's shocked face as she was unable to defy the force of gravity and the connected at the lips. They stayed there for a second, too shocked to comprehend what had just happened, but then simultaneously moved apart as quick as they could. The mistletoe fell down onto the table and turned into ashes.

Lily wiped her mouth on her sleeve. "Sirius, you are a despicable person. Don't you ever do that again," she said warning Sirius.

James looked about ready to kill.

"Erm… so does that mean it didn't work?" Sirius asked timidly.

If Lily's glare could intensify even more, it did as she stomped upstairs. Sirius grinned apologetically at James.

"It was a good kiss?" he asked hopefully to James's scowling face. James gave no reply but stomped up much the same way as Lily had.

"Well, it was worth a try…" Sirius muttered.

A/N- I think I've become too lazy to do any real revising or editing… Anyhow, the next chapter will be new, and I'll try my best to get it on ffn soon.
