A/N Sorry, sorry, sorry, and sorry! The last two chapters were...heh...what you can call S-H-O-R-T! This one will be long, don't worry ;)
Chapter Three
Lily went inside with the Marauders and her freinds. "Lily, if you don't mind me saying so, you're kind of scary when you're mad." Sirius said, grinning.
Lily shrugged. "Just don't get me mad and we're all better off." she threw a glance at Remus.
They reached the portrait before long. "I can't wait to take a nice, long, shower." Tereesa said, smiling to herself.
"Me neither. You'll just have to wait because I'm taking it before you." Tereesa and Lily stared at eachother before bounding up the stairs.
Clare shook her head and laughed, "They don't act like their sixteen, more like eight. Well, I should go, too. Merry Christmas, you guys. Bye, Remus." she smiled at Remus before following Lily and Tereesa.
Remus blushed.
"Look at Moony's face. He looks like a strawberry." James muttered to Sirius.
"Let's go." Remus said rather loudly, "I'm still wet from Lily."
The Marauders went up to their dormatory. Sirius and James waited for Remus to get out of the shower.
"What if Lily changed her mind about me? I mean, why else would she come out and play Quidditch with us?" James asked and Sirius shook his head.
"No, no, no, Prongs, you have it all wrong! I'm the good looking one here, they came down to see me!"
At this point, James started throwing pillows and books at Sirius, "I mean, I am so damn handsome, they just can't resist." Sirius grinned.
James laughed, "She's not that kind of girl. She doesn't go out with people just because they are handsome!"
"You're obsessed with her! You know every little detail about her!" Sirius said.
"I'm not obsessed...I just want her to give me a chance."
Sirius didn't say anthing.
"Prongs, you can use the shower now, I'm finished." Remus came out of the bathroom with a towel tied around his waist.
James nodded and went in the bathroom.
"I'm going to go read in the common room." Sirius said, and picked up a book a left.
"Remus was so cute when Lily was chasing him around, don't you think? Poor guy, did you see how wet he was?"Clare was hugging a pillow and Tereesa was writing in her journal.
"Remus is nothing compared to Sirius. He was gorgeous! I wish I could run as fast as Lily. Did you see how impressed he was when she ran?" Tereesa said, and sighed.
"Remus is cute, Sirius is hot. Now let's please talk about something else before I get a headache." Lily said as if that settled it. She had just come out of the bathroom with wet hair and green pajamas on.
"How did you know what we were talking about? You were in the shower the whole time." Lily walked over to her bed and sat down on it.
"Oh, please, Clare. People who live in France could hear you blabbing on about how cute Remus is."
Clare blushed and hid her face behind a book. Lily brushed her long, wet hair thinking about James and if she liked him or just thought of him as a freind, because even she can't deny that she doesn't hate James.
'Do I hate James? I mean, the term is pretty harsh. To be completly honest, I don't remember why I ever hated James so much! I mean, yeah, he pranked me quite often, but it was just to get a few laughs, right? I guess if he asked me to, I would forgive him...but I only like him as a friend, but that's only when I'm in a really good mood...'
"Why don't we go down to the common room? It's more comfortable down there." Lily suggested.
"No, I have to stay here and take a shower." Tereesa said while she walked in the bathroom.
Lily looked at Clare. "I'd rather stay here, but you can still go if you want!" Clare said.
She was reading Tereesa's journal.
Lily grinned and mouthed the words 'Tell me what she wrote later!' to Clare and Clare nodded.
Lily picked up her book and went downstairs.
When Lily got to the bottom of the steps, she saw Sirius sitting on the couch and reading a book.
"Hey Sirius." She said and sat down next to him.
"Hey, Evans. What are you up to?"
"Just reading, unless of course, you have a problem with that."
"What if I have a problem with it?"
"Does it look like I care if you have a problem?"
"What the hell are you guys talking about?" Lily and Sirius looked at James, who was standing at the bottom of the stairs.
"Hey, James, out of the shower already?"
Lily laughed, "Well, apparantly," she said.
"Thank you Miss Obvious." James said and yawned.
"Care to join us in our reading?"
"Reading? I have never done an ounce of it in my life. Hey, let's play exploding snap." James suggested, sitting next to Lily.
"I have a deck, I'll go get it." Sirius said and left, grinning. Lily started reading and James reached across her and picked up Sirius's book.
They stayed silent for fifteen minutes until Lily threw her book down.
"What is taking him so long! Here I am, reading a book like I'm interested in what the author has to say, when my brain is rotting from boredom!"
Lily stomped up the stairs and knocked on the Marauders door.
James was highly amused.
Sirius answered the door.
"Having a good time?" Lily asked him impaciently with her arms crossed.
"What did I do?" Sirius asked, clearly quite confused.
Lily let out an exasprated sigh and pushed pass him into the dormatory.
Remus was on his bed reading, and on the dresser was an exploding snap card deck.
Lily threw the card deck at Sirius and he caught it.
"Does that refresh your memory?" Lily asked.
"Oh! Sorry, I forgot."
"I figured that out already."
"What's the big deal?" Sirius asked.
"I was bored out of my mind. Remus, you can come if you like." Lily said, while pulling Sirius down the stairs by his wrist.
"No thanks, I'd rather not." Remus said, and was obviously very interested in his book.
"Lily, let me at least get a shirt on!" Sirius said halfway down the stair case.
Lily rolled her eyes and released him.
He ran up the stairs and came back with a T-shirt on.
"Ok, go wait over there with James. I'm going to go get Tereesa and Clare."
Lily said and Sirius shrugged.
Lily opened the door a tiny bit and peeked inside and heard shouts.
"Clare! You were reading my journal!"
"Well, Tereesa, how can I resist if it's just laying there, open, waiting for someone to read it!"
"You're supposed to close it and put it on my bed without looking in it at all!"
Lily shut the door quietly and went back downstairs.
"Are they coming?" Sirius asked while shuffling the cards.
"No, they said they were busy." Lily lied and pulled a chair over so she was across from James and Sirius, who were both sitting on the couch.
Sirius dealt the cards and they started playing.
"HA! I beat you both six times in a row! Losers!" Lily stuck her tongue out at James and Sirius just when the cards exploded.
"Nice going, Lily, look what you did to the cards."
"It wasn't my fault!" Lily said defensivly and James started laughing.
"Oh, shut up." Lily said and threw a pillow at him.
"Oh, she's vicious!" Sirius said, and he too, was laughing.
Lily yawned.
"Alright, you guys, I think it's time to call it a night."
Lily said and got up to leave.
"Hey, Lily?" Lily looked at James, "The Marauders and I were going to go to Hogsmeade tomorrow, because McGonagall gave us permission and all, and I was wondering if you wanted to come with us." James looked hopeful.
"Oh...I don't know..." Lily started, but James interupted her, "You can bring your friends, if you want."
Lily's expressioned brightened.
"I'll think about it..."
"Well, if you decide you want to come, meet us down here at 11:00 o'clock. If you're late, we'll go without you." Sirius said and he also got up.
"Alright, well, goodnight James, Sirius." Lily said, smiling at them as she said their names.
She then went up the stairs and into the dorm.
