"Sh! Sh! She's waking up!" Lily could barely hear her friend, Melissa, as she opened her eyes to all her friends standing around her bed.
She rubbed her eyes and sat up, "What's going on?"
The girls around her giggled and whispered to each other almost silently. Lily's eyes were still a bit blurred from just waking up, that she could just barely make out something red and blue at the foot of her bed.
She touched the object lightly with her left hand. It felt velvety smooth, but it was not velvet. Whatever it was that was blue, was obviously something paper, like a note.
She gently picked up the red object and when her eyes had finally cleared, she saw a bundle of roses wrapped in an enchanted light pink mist. The mist had no wet feel, it was just eye candy. Laying them gently on the small table by her bed, she picked up the blue envelope, as she now saw.
After she had fully opened the envelope, the note inside slowly floated out to eye level and unfolded itself.
Dear Lily, I know we are not the greatest of friends, but please accept this as my apology for the past six years. I would just prefer us to be acquaintances rather than enemies. I'm not asking much, just for a little respect. I may not be the brightest star in the sky, but I am surely not the dullest. Just remember our meeting at five o'clock this evening. –J. H. P.
As she finished, the note ripped itself into small pieces then burned itself in a small flame. Lily was still in disbelief as she watched the flame burn, flicker, and die in a puff of smoke, without even leaving a burn mark on her bed sheets.
"What did it say?!" Melissa asked excitedly.
Lily simply shook her head and pulled her covers back. She put her feet on the floor and stood up slowly, not wanting to fall down at the time. Her friends cleared a path for her and quickly went back to their business, knowing they weren't going to get any information out of her.
-Meanwhile-
"JAMES! JAMES! JAMES! PRONGSIEPOOH!"
James sat up quickly only to hit his head on Sirius', "Ouch! What is it you want?"
Sirius stared at him blankly, as if waiting for James to answer his own question, "It got really quiet in the girls dorm. I heard it!"
"If it was so quiet, you wouldn't be able to hear it," James said blankly while rubbing his forehead lightly.
Sirius looking at James' head before he got off his bed and walked to the sink room wondered quietly, Does James remember that note he sent Lily?
James stood up and looked at the closed bathroom door, "It's Saturday, right?"
Sirius merely nodded while looking at James closely. It had been a while since Sirius had seen James so serious. It was just getting to the point to where it bugged him a bit.
"Hey, have you thought of any cool pranks lately?" Sirius asked excitedly.
James sighed and shook his head, "No."
"Hey, Prongs! Are you up?" James heard Remus yell from the bathroom.
"Yes, and I need to use the space you are currently occupying!"
Sirius stared at James, "Wow! You used big boy words!" And with that a large grin spread over Sirius' face as James tackled him to the floor with a series of playful punches. Not intending to hurt anyone, James sometimes didn't realize how hard he was actually hitting Sirius. It did not seem to matter anyway, Sirius was tough and strong.
Remus walked out of the bathroom just as James and Sirius had gotten up off of the floor. His jeans were worn and had holes where his knees were, but that didn't stop the other two Marauders from tackling him down to the floor in a three way match.
-Meanwhile-
Just as she finished brushing her teeth, Lily heard a loud thump come from the boys' bathroom. Sighing as she quickly put on her muggle clothes, the thump became more consistent and she ever heard laughter. Lily rolled her eyes and ran out of the bathroom, now fully clothed, and made a beeline for the boy's dorm.
"Lily?!" Melissa cried as she followed after her hot tempered friend.
Just as Lily flung the door wide open, Sirius stood right in front of her, a smug look on his face, "Hiya, Lillers! I sure did miss you!"
He swept Lily into a tight bear hug and swung her around for what seemed like forever. Listening to Melissa giggle the whole time, Lily finally kicked Sirius in the shin before he put her down.
Just as her feet touched the floor, she lost her balance and fell down in a heap, extremely dizzy. Everything was spinning, therefore she couldn't tell if it was James or Remus who had picked her up and put her on the nearest bed.
"Bloody hell, Sirius. What was that about?" Lily asked slowly.
Melissa giggle again as Sirius replied, "Dunno."
Forgetting why she had come, Lily closed her eyes and tempted herself to go to sleep. She was quite close, too, that is until she felt someone sit down on the bed. Lily groaned out her dislike and rolled over, away from whoever was sitting.
"Lily, did you get that letter I sent you this morning?" James asked her apprehensively.
Lily nodded, her eyes now closed. She was remembering Melissa's so called dare. Lily grinned as an idea sparked in her head.
Opening her eyes slowly, Lily smiled ever so sweetly at James and said, "Of course I did, James."
James smiled nervously and asked another question, "Do you agree?"
Lily nodded and looked at him for a brief moment before she embraced him in a tight hug. James, not expecting a thing, merely chuckled with relief as he hugged her back.
A/N- Oh, no. What's Lily doing now?!?! Not eve I know! (YET!) FWAH!
