Chapter 13

(A/N-Real quick FYI: This is the Friday afternoon before the Hogsmeade trip, Saturday, and the Halloween dance, Sunday. Now enjoy the rest of the story!)

"Padfoot, you lazy arse," James hollered as he pushed Sirius off the couch.

"What?" Sirius asked innocently from the floor.

"First of all-"Peter cut himself off when Sirius gave him an icy glare.

"I don't think it will be possible to finish the rest of this bloody homework in here," Remus said as he gathered his books and parchments into his arms and carefully stepped over Sirius who had made himself comfortable on the floor in front of the couch that James was now occupying by himself, "so I'm going to go to the library."

Lily and Monica had made their way through the crowded common room to where the four guys were and had been standing unnoticed behind James' couch for the past five minutes.

"Do you mind if we join you?" Lily asked.

James looked behind him and grinned when he saw Lily standing there, and thinking she was asking him, patted the empty space beside him, "Not at all."

Lily chuckled, "Not you," and pointed towards the sandy-haired boy who was about to go to the library, "Remus."

"Oh," James pouted.

"Don't worry, Jamsie-poo," Sirius, now sitting up with his back leaning against the couch, "you two can snog later. And, if you're lucky, that is," he added with a smirk, "a great sha-"

Sirius was cut off by James' hand smacking him hard on the back of his head, "Don't even finish that statement."

"Gee Prongs, couldn't have hit me any bloody harder, could you?" Sirius replied sarcastically with a grimace while rubbing the back of his head.

Everyone, excluding Sirius and a red-faced James, were laughing at the exchange.

"I'd love to stay and watch more, but I really need to finish this," Remus nodded down to the pile of books in his arms, "before this weekend."

"Suddenly," James jumped up from his seat on the couch, "I feel the urge to go to the library and do my homework. Sirius..."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," he grumbled.

"Miss Evans," James held his arm out for Lily, "may I be your escort for this fine evening?"

"James," Lily laughed, "I kind of need my books, as do you."

"I need books to do my homework!" Sirius burst out. "I'll be right back!" he disappeared up the boys' dormitory as he shouted this over his shoulder.

"I would've asked him to get my stuff," James looked thoughtful, "but it's in the Head's room."

"Then go get it," Peter looked at him like he was an idiot.

James looked down and shuffled his feet.

"Do you want me to get your books while I'm in there?" Lily asked.

James looked up with a grin because he was hoping she'd say something to that effect. "Nah, I'll just go with you."

"You guys don't have to make excuses to go off and snog," Monica smirked, receiving a glare from James and a blush from Lily. "You're ALLOWED to snog when you're boyfriend/girlfriend."

James stuck his tongue out at Monica.

"Real mature," she said very sarcastically.

"Ignore her, James," Lily commanded and walked over to the portrait hole. When she realized he wasn't following her, she turned around and placed her hands on her hips. "I'm not waiting all day!"

"Coming, darling," James grinned like and child at a candy store and ran over to where she was waiting. "Couldn't resist my famous Potter charm, eh?" he winked at her and interlocked his fingers with hers.

He leaned in close to Lily and whispered something in her ear, to which she giggled in delight and pulled him through the portrait hole.

"Prongs," Sirius called, running down the boys' dormitory stairs and to the place he had left his friends, "I found my trans..." He drifted off when he noticed everyone in the common room, excepting James and Lily who were already gone, staring at him peculiarly. He looked around, as if expecting an answer.

"James and Lily went off to snog in the Head's room," Monica offered.

Sirius gave a wicked grin, "Lucky, lucky man."

Remus looked at his watch impatiently, "I don't know about you guys, but I would really like to get all of my homework done today so that I can enjoy this weekend!"

"Moony," Sirius paused, "you do realize that we are getting Monday off, right?"

"Yes!" he replied even more impatiently.

"Sirius, dear," Monica patted Sirius' chest, "I think he just wants to enjoy this weekend, seeming as the Halloween dance is Sunday, which he probably has a date to," she scowled at Sirius, "without having to worry about bloody homework."

"You think Moony has a date?" Sirius asked incredulously.

"I am standing right here, incase you forgot," Remus snapped.

"I di-"

"-Anyhow," Monica cut Sirius' response off. "I am going to the library so that I will be able to finish my homework and ponder over how I should spend my dateless weekend," she hinted to Sirius and got a puzzled look in return.

Although Sirius didn't quite catch the hint, Remus did. "You bloody git!" he gave Sirius a pointed look and then turned to Monica, "Would you care to accompany my dateless self to Hogsmeade this weekend and pick out a costume for Sunday?"

"Why I'd love to," she glared at Sirius, not because she didn't mind going as friends with Remus, but because he was too thick to pick up her hint. Monica walked off to the library, expecting the guys to follow her.

"Hey-"Sirius started.

"You missed your chance," Remus said with a grin and turned to follow Monica to the library.

"Do you know what just happened, Wormtail?" Sirius asked and turned to his quiet friend who just chuckled and brushed past him.

Sirius stood with a puzzled look on his face before jogging off to catch up with the other three.

Lily and James were sitting on the couch, fingers intricately entwined, in the Head's common room with mussed hair and clothes.

"James," Lily breathed into his ear, "I think we should go to the library now."

"You're right," he sighed and leaned over to kiss her lightly on the lips before standing up and offering his hand to her. Lily obliged and he pulled her up so that she was standing next to him.

James surveyed Lily and started chuckling. "You might," he put his hand in her brilliant auburn locks, "want to fix this."

"I could say the same to you," she laughed.

James' reply was to sweep his hand through his hair and grin cockily. "Same as usual now, eh?"

"I like it better this way, though," Lily replied and tangled her hand in his hair and tugging it into different directions.

He pulled her hand out of his hair and grasped it firmly. "Well, I like your hair better this way," the hand that was still in Lily's hair starting rubbing all over her scalp, tangling and knotting whatever came into the hair.

Lily gasped and backed up, pulling her hand out of his and his other hand out of her hair.

"You don't like the mad sex hair?" James' gave her a mischievous grin.

"Actually," Lily replied truthfully, "no." She pulled her wand off of the coffee table where she had set it about twenty minutes ago and muttered a charm that caused her hair to become glossy and soft again.

James stepped forward and ran a hand through her hair, "It's also nice this way, though."

Lily took a peek at her watch, "I'd love to stay here longer, but we told everyone we'd meet them there and it's been twenty minutes already."

"Only twenty," James muttered in a shocked voice.

"It would appear so."

"I guess it's time to go, then," James replied and grabbed his and Lily's books and headed towards the portrait hole with Lily following closely behind.

"Prongsie!" Sirius jumped out of his seat and ran to where Lily and James were standing. "Prongisie, mate! I can't take any more of it," he whined when he reached the couple.

Madame Pince rushed over to the three friends with furious eyes and screamed, "GET OUT OF MY LIBRARY!"

Sirius happily obliged and pulled the other two out with him.

"Look what you've done now, Sirius," Lily screeched.

"What?" he asked innocently. "It's just the library, after all."

"Urg," Lily growled at him, causing him to burst out in laughter, and stomped away.

James shook his head and turned and followed his girlfriend.

"Party pooper," Sirius muttered and went the opposite way of James and Lily.

Minicrouton86- I'm trying to update more but Charles Dickens and his blasted Great Expectations, which is actually quite good, are getting in the way. I guess I'll just have to try harder, lol.

Tiffyrose- Umm...that's okay. I can't believe he took our table! Damn that Jewish Nazi bitch and her lover, Coach Bitterman the ass who makes freshman girls cry! LOL

Rosina- I'm trying to include more Sirius. And about it being fast-paced, it's already the end of October and my plans have yet to be completed.

MissMrprk- All I have to say is, LOL!
