A/N: Please note that none of these characters are mine, but J. K. Rowling's (As you probably know) except for Tereesa and Clare. Sorry to keep you waiting, I know how much you want to read my story ;)
Chapter Two
"You know, I'm surprised that James didn't give you a Christmas present." Tereesa said after she, Lily, and Clare had finished opening all their gifts.
"You know, I'm surprised you were bold enough to say that." Lily said, hugging her knees to her chest, deep in thought.
"Oh, Lily, come off it. He's smart, funny, charming, althetic, and very cute. What's there not to like?"
"He's too obsessive, egotistic, self-centered, selfish, idiotic, stupid, dumb, moronic, obno-"
"Alright, alright!" Clare interupted,putting her hands in the air as if to say she surrendered.
"If you think he's so perfect, why don't you go out with him?" Clare sighed. "It's you he likes, not me." Lily stood up and looked out the window.
"What are those stupid prats doing outside playing quidditch when it's below zero degrees and it's snowing?" Lily asked and turned to her friends.
But instead of frowning in disapproval, she was grinning. "Oh no, what does Lily have in for us this time?" Clare said playfully, rolling her eyes.
"I say we pay the great 'Marauders' a little visit." Lily grinned evily.
"All right, we'll play that monkey-muggle game, only on broomsticks.""You mean Monkey-in-the-middle?"
"That's the one! Alright, I say James starts in the middle." Sirius said.
"Hey! Fine, I vote Padfoot gets sent in the middle." they both looked at Remus for support.
"Sorry, Prongs." Remus said, grinning.
"Mind if we join you?" Said a voice behind them.
James, Remus, and Sirius turned to see who talked. Just as they turned, three snowballs came hurtiling towards them.
One hit James in the face, and the other two hit Remus and Sirius in the chest. "Nice aim, Lily." Tereesa comented.
"Thanks, Terry, not too bad yourself." Lily said, dusting off her gloves.
"Not you...." Sirius groaned.
"Yes, us." Clare said, grinning evily before kicking off on her broom and circling above them.
"Your worst fears have been confirmed." Tereesa said before she too, kicked off on the ground.
"Damn Chasers...." James muttered.
"James, watch out!" But Sirius was too late, James was hit in the head by to more snowballs. Lily walked up to James.
"That was for insulting us Chasers, when the seeker is the real problem." And with that, she kicked off the ground to join her freinds.
All three of them started aiming hexes towards the Marauders, who dodged the curses, and mounted their brooms.
"Ready or not, here we come." Sirius grinned and chased after Lily. Lily shreiked and flew away, Sirius following close behind.
Sirius stretched out a hand. He almost got her, just an inch more.... WHAM! Lily dived, causing the end of her broom to hit Sirius square in the face.
Lily joined her freinds in hysterical laughter.
"Why you twisted little...."
"Sirius, please, let the master handle it." James said, holding his arm out in front of Sirius to prevent him from knocking Lily off her broom.
When James said 'master' he pretended to be holding out a mirror in front of him and combed his hair with an imaginary comb. Even Lily had to laugh.
"Thank you." James said bowing, and nearly falling off his broom. The laughter grew louder and he felt himself go red.
Lily looked at James. 'Maybe he wasn't so bad after all...HA! I will never have feelings for him.' Lily thought to herself. 'Never say never.' said a voice in the back of Lily's mind.
'Agh! Just shut up, Lily, you're confusing yourself-' but Lily was instantly out of her reverie when she saw, to her horror, that James just caught her staring at him.
Lily blushed and turned away. "Let's go now." Lily muttered to Tereesa and Clare. "Aww! But I'm having such a good time!" Clare whined.
"Isn't Sirius handsome?" Tereesa thought out loud. Lily laughed. "I know, guys, I'm sorry, but let's just go. I'm feeling...er...bored." Lily lied. 'Embarassed is more like it.' she thought.
Tereesa saw the pleading look in Lily's eyes. "Alright, c'mon, Clare. Oh, stop drooling!" Tereesa said, noticing Clare had been checking Remus out.
"Thank you, guys." Lily whispered and gave a fake shiver. "Damn, it's cooooold. I'm going in, bye Marauders, it was nice beating the shit out of you." Lily said and dived toward the ground closely followed by Clare and Tereesa.
"What was that all about?" Tereesa asked Lily. Clare was walking ahead of them, keeping a brisk pace. Lily looked at Tereesa. "You know I trust you, right?" Lily asked Tereesa.
"Um..yeah...." Tereesa said. Lily lowered her voice. "Even more then Clare, right?" Tereesa nodded. "Lily, I know I'm your best friend, and you're mine, but would you hurry up and get to the point?" Lily looked at the snow.
"It's just that...your fly is open." Lily said in a sorrowful voice. "Made you look!" Lily said and howled with laughter. Tereesa, clearly not thinking Lily's joke was funny, glared at her freind.
Lily looked at Tereesa and stopped laughing immediatly. "Tereesa, if there was something I needed to tell you, I would have already told you. I was just a bit too cold, that's why I left. Plus, those Marauders are B-O-R-I-N-G!" Lily said. Tereesa laughed.
"Lily, your such a damn good actor, I never know when you're joking or not!" Tereesa said.
Lily playfully hit Tereesa's arm.
Just then something hit Lily hard on the back. Lily turned around and saw James, Sirius, and Remus having fits of laughter.
James nudged Sirius. Sirius followed James gaze and saw the girls leaving."Oy! Moony!"
"Yeah?"
"You have good aim, right?"
"I think I know where this conversation is going...," Remus replied with a grin.
The Marauders quickly and quietly followed the girls to the entrance, Remus had a snowball in hand.
Finally, they were close enough to put their plan into action.
"Fire!" James whispered.
Remus threw the snowball directly at Lily's back.
Lily turned around abruptly and narrowed her eyes at Remus.
"Nobody get away with throwing a snowball at Lily Evans without payback! NOBODY!" Lily was chasing Remus around the snow-covered lawn.
"Damn, Lily, where'd you get so fast?" Lily stopped and looked at Sirius. "Actually, Sirius, I picked it up from-Ouch!" Remus seized the opportunity to trow another snowball at Lily.
"Oouh! Remus is in for it now!" But Remus didn't need Clare to tell him that, he could see the fire in Lily's eyes.
"LUPIN! YOU TWISTED, UGLY, STUPID, OBNOXIOUS, SELFISH, BASTARD!" Lily yelled while pelting Remus with snowballs.
"Damn, Lily, where'd you get such good aim?" James asked, amazed at how each time she threw the snowballs, it hit Remus.
"Pure talent." She said, while dropping the snow in her hands and chasing Remus once more. Remus was so tired he collapsed on the snow.
Lily came right up to Remus and sat on his chest while he lay down. "Damnit, Evans, you're heavy!"
Lily sniffed loudly and threw another snowball at his face. "Thanks a lot, now I'm all wet!"
