Chapter Six: Party Over Here! Woot Woot!
James was in awe. What was Sirius hiding from him? Unfortunately, as it was past curfew as James walked to the portrait of the fat lady, he was caught by Filch, who gave him a detention for the next day. He needed to plan Lily's surprise party! It was in one day! And the detention was to clean the Hospital Wing floor, without magic. And, James still needed to know what upset Sirius. So many things to do, so little time.
Instead of falling asleep, James grabbed his invisibility cloak and Marauders Map, and headed towards the Room of Requirement. As he was passing by, he noticed a small gap in between a humped witch and a wall. Tapping it, he whispered "Dissendium", and the gap widened.
James went through the tunnel for what seemed like an hour, but he soon was in the cellar of Honeydukes. Grabbing candy, chocolates, and prank items from all his favorite shops (and leaving money to pay for them), James scurried back to the tunnel, and ran to the Room of Requirement, where he sat up all night and made decorations and invitations. This would be one hell of a party!
The next day, before James's detention, invitations were secretly passed out to Remus, Peter, Sirius, and all the ELVES except Lily. James didn't have enough time to talk to Sirius, but Sirius was looking quite cheerful.
After detention, James checked up on Lily. She was sitting alone in the Common Room, with tears in her eyes. She was reading a letter. James went up to her.
"Lily…? What's wrong, honey?"
Lily handed James the letter.
Dear Ms. Evans,
It is my mournful task to inform you that your parents have been unrightfully killed by Lord Voldemort. This occurred yesterday at midnight. You and your sister have the right to decide on a date for the funeral.
Sincerely,
The Minister of Magic
Toby Maguire
James hugged Lily. I bet she doesn't want a party now…And Lily cried herself to sleep, in James's arms.
The next day, Lily was dressed in all black. Her robes, her slacks, her shirt. James was down in the dumps. He worked so hard to plan Lily's party. Reluctantly, Lily came to the seventh floor to see what James wanted. She walked inside the Room, and to her surprise, all her friends jumped up and shouted "Happy Birthday Lily!". Lily broke into tears again.
"Lily! Don't cry!"
"Oh, stop it James! She's not crying-crying, she's happy crying," Emma said.
Lily nodded, still crying.
And they partied.
And ate.
And Sirius got drunk.
But they partied.
And partied.
And when it was midnight, they stopped partying and urged Lily to open her gifts.
Peter had given Lily the latest romance novels. Remus had gotten her earring in the shape of lilies. Emma and Elizabeth had gotten her hair accessories. Vanessa gave her a purse with make-up inside, and Samantha got Lily an ipod. A magical ipod. And what did our dear ol' James give her? A promise ring, a promise necklace, a promise bracelet, and a promise toe ring.
Lily gazed at James lovingly.
"I hope I didn't get carried away with all these…," said James.
"Never," whispered Lily. And she put them all on.
Sirius, still drunk, grabbed James and wildly started dancing, and sang "You're so yesterday." That was Lily's favorite song.
James slapped Sirius silly, and grabbed his love and sang along. Laughing for the first time today, Lily sang too. "you're so yesterday, James," Lily whispered.
"We can be so yesterday together, love." And they danced the night away.
