Time and Time Again Chapter 3: Home again

"Lil! How dare you leave me with that. . . that. . . UGH! I can't think of anything to call him at the moment. That hurts!" Riley smiled a brilliant smile and winked at her. "Aw I could never stay mad at you!"

"I know. That's why we're best friends." Lily said. Riley took a seat next to Lily and took out a book of parchment and began to write. She was interrupted by Sirius pulling her to her feet and pulling her out of the compartment. The others still in it smiled at each other. They knew that they would get together it was just a matter of time. When Lily and James made contact they quickly looked away. Through the years James didn't quite make it into the good graces of Lily. She actually despised him. She didn't mind Sirius at times. Peter irked her (and Riley), but Remus was her favorite out of the four.

Sirius took Riley into the last empty compartment. He ran a finger down her cheek and looked in to those eyes. Those eyes that showed so much of her personality, the eyes that he looked into the first time they met.

"Rye. . . "He couldn't think of anything to say. She put her finger to his lips to stop him from talking , he kissed and brought it to his cheek and yeah they started to snog like there was no tomorrow. They were in there for about two hours and twelve minutes (Remus timed it) when they got back into the compartment again the lunch cart was around. Riley bought a bag of peach cookies and passed one out to everyone. Remus, James, and Peter all gobbled them up but Sirius put it aside and started eating other stuff. Riley gave him a look a playful look of hurt and anger. After he was done he got a paper clip out and started poking holes in the cookie.

"You're insulting the cookie Sirius! How could you do that? What about the cookies feelings? How would you feel if someone poked you with a paper clip?" He gave her a look of indignance. (A/N: look in the Cassie Dictionary.) HE then ate it to make Riley smile.

The guys spent the rest of the train ride sleeping. Remus and Peter slep sleeping up. Lily had her head on James' shoulder and Sirius had his head in Riley's lap. Riley spent it thinking about her last year and Sirius; and stroking her fingers through Sirius' hair.

At about 7:00 they pulled into the station at Hogsmeade. They grabbed a carriage and sat anxiously. The marauders walked in first with Lily and Riley behind them. Unfortunately Malfoy was waiting for Riley in a corner and as she walked past him he grabbed her and pinned her to a wall. Lily was still talking not knowing Riley had disappeared and she only realized when James gave her a look of uncertainty.

"Look Lupin, I don't take rejection well. Actually I don't take rejection at all." Malfoy sneered in her ear. He liked the scent of her hair. He couldn't finish because dun dada duuun Sirius to the rescue. Sirius put a full body lock up hex on him. He grabbed a slightly shaken Riley and led her to the Great Hall with his hand on her waist.

When they sat, Ronda came and sat but Sirius and started to flirt profusely. She didn't know that he had a girlfriend and that she was sitting right next to him. Riley didn't say anything but Sirius kept looking at her with disbelief in his eyes. Ronda flirted with him through the sorting (12 new Gryffindor).

"Siripoo, we've heard the same stuff every year we've been here. Why don't we ditch the old man's speech and have a snog in the broom closet across the hall? Come on." Ronda got up and took Sirius' hand.

"Excuse me. But if he's going to have a snog with anyone, it's going to be me. The reason you don't have a boyfriend is because you don't know the concept of soap and water. I think you and Snape would be a perfect couple. Get away from him or I'll hex you into the next decade." Riley said very calmly. Ronda looked in between astonishment and anger. She stalked off with her lackey.

"Rye, I that wasn't the best example but you did keep your temper." Lily said approvingly.

"Lily, Lily, Lily, I don't have a temper." Riley said to her friend.

"Why didn't you stop her before?" Sirius asked upset.

"Because I wanted to see these wonderful people get sorted." She said pointing to the first years looking nervously at the Bloody Barron. "And you insulted the cookie. That will teach you to insult the cookie won't it?" Sirius looked at her seriously (NO PUN INTENDED) then laughed. "I looove you" With that she leaned over and kissed him.

After they finished eating Dumbledore stood and said, "I haven't introduced the new prefects and heads. For RavenClaw it will be Mark Green, Jenna Small, Harry Halton, Mellie Kinto, Gina Milton, and Greg Barnes. For Hufflepuff It shall be Bridget Wither, Mike Roth, Barnaby Michael, Beauregard Gill, Josie Alexander, and Christina Myers. For Slytherin it will be Luscious Malfoy, Bellatrix Black, Jo Heller, Marty (girl) Deathair, Kim Doomner, Marc Smart. For Gryffindor they shall be Remus Lupin, Riley Lupin, Sam Adem (girl), Adam Coone, Mike Snapple, and Christy Coda. Our Head Boy will be James Potter, and our Head Girl will be Lily Evans." As he said each one of those peoples names they stood. When he called Remus', Riley's, Lily's and James' names there was a very loud applauses. They were three of the most popular people in the school. The school started to get up andf go tot their common rooms. The first years looked around while trying to follow the right crowd.

They arrived at the portrait and they stopped.

"Kiwi Strawberry!" Lily said. Lily and Riley started cracking up.

"What's up with that?" Peter asked Sirius.

"Dunno. Must be a girl thing." He replied

Lily overheard them and decided to tell, "Well . . . we were sitting by my pool drinking Snapple and we both had Kiwi Strawberry and we were cracking jokes on what kind of Snapple we are, I was Mango Madness and Riley is Snapple Apple and we were deciding what kind of Snapple people at Hogwarts were and the Fat Lady Portrait was so Kiwi Strawberry. Don't ask why." Sirius had a bewildered look on his face.

"I'm going to bed goodnight." Riley announced, she twisted in Sirius' arms and kissed him deeply. Then she ran up the stairs and got ready for bed. But she didn't end up sleeping she and Lily stayed up all night talking. Unfortunately for Rhonda (who was trying to listen) they put a silence charm all around Lily's bed.

Marauders Dormitory

"So what's up with you and my sister?" Remus asked while taking off his clothes and getting into bed.

"Well you know dude, I've liked her for a pretty long time now and I finally asked her out." Sirius explained with a tooth brush in his mouth.

"Did anyone notice how pretty Lily looked?" James asked stupidly. Instead of yes' or no's he got four pillows (one was Frank Longbottom's) thrown at him.
