An Amusing Morning (Part 2)
James and Sirius ran down the stairs, mostly because the exhilaration of running down stairs is exciting when someone *chough*Remus*cough* wasn't at the top speaking loudly on how he was planning to use one's things when one fell and cracked one's skull open. Well, maybe that was fun in its own way, but not having to playful grumble at the bottom was fun too. The other part was a bit of anxiety on Sirius's part, and if you asked him at the time why he was so anxious, he wouldn't have been able to tell you. That annoyed him, the seemingly random knot it is stomach.
At the bottom of the stairs James and Sirius suddenly stopped and began scanning the room for the exulted Lily Evans. They looked rather like a pair of police searching a busy room for a fleeing suspect, but as half the room didn't know what police were, and a quarter were convinced they were call "please-men", most people wrote it down James' and Sirius's usual antics.
James, unfortunately, was the first to spot Lily, "Hey! Lily!" James called across the common room.
Lily didn't even let him start, "James Potter, mind your own Business, and no, I won't go out with you, so stop asking."
"But..."
"Zipt," and along with that rather amusing not-word, Lily made a little hand motion which James took as a hint to shut up.
And no subtle hint would have worked with James.
"Lills--" tired Sirius, but Lily just sent him and acid glare, and turned back to her friends.
Sirius wasn't going to be ignored, "Lily, it's Remus."
That comment caused her to turn around and look at Sirius critically (she had no faith in James being honest about. well, anything, in her eyes) and said, "your kidding, right?"
Lily didn't get and answer, but she didn't need one, she'd heard the difference in Sirius's voice. They stared at each other for a moment before Lily said "Show me."
-
After Remus had become a prefect, and Lily one as well, they had actually taken time to talk to one another and find out what the other was really like. Lily's opinion of Remus rose highly after she found him to be intelligent and hardly as egotistical as his friends. There was one point they disagreed on, Remus's choice of friends.
Back up in the dormitory Lily Evans walked over to the still enshrined Remus.
"Remus? The boy's were so worried they came crying to me."
"We did not!" cried Sirius indignantly.
Lily ignored the comment and leaned in closer as if to hear a whispered message from the other side of the curtain.
"All right boys, out!" commanded Lily in all her redheaded fierceness.
In their curiosity Sirius, James and Peter had all slowly inched closer, and they got Lily's shout right in their faces. The effect of her command was immediate, the boys scampered out, cowed by receiving a Lily Order right in the face.
As soon as they got out the door, Lily locked it, and the boys were sorry to find that none of them had their wands, and they couldn't bust the door down. Sirius and James decided the next best option was leaning against the door and trying to hear what was being said. Peter stood on the side and watched.
"Hmm, they're mumbling too much, I can't hear them," said Sirius.
"No wait, Lily said Remus," said James.
"Well, that's bloody helpful isn't it!"
"Shh, Shhh, they're talking louder."
". did she just say we're the same size?"
"Oh, I think she accio-ed something in."
"Shhhhhh!"
"How'd she get it in if not through the door?"
"Through the bloody window! Now shut up!"
"Hm. I wonder. blast, they're talking quietly again."
"Now what's that about a sash?"
"Well. maybe-"
Peter cut in at that point, "James I do -not- want to hear what your sick mind has cooked up!"
James looked a little put out by the comment, after all, his worshipful follower had just insulted him, but he mutter and, "Okay Pete."
Soon afterward Lily opened the door, and Sirius, who had still been leaning against it, had to quickly catch himself before he fell atop Lily.
"Okay, one thing before I let you pass, absolutely -no laughing-," said Lily in her sternest voice.
The three boys nodded solemnly, or, in Sirius's case, semi solemnly, and were allowed to enter.
But when they saw Remus, James couldn't help but start laughing; Peter looked shocked and maybe a bit confused.
It was Sirius's, however, who spoke first, "Remus! You look like a -girl-!"

A/N: sorry about another cliff hanger, I couldn't help myself! I've been writing another rather depressing fic, and I've been working off and on on this one. If you don't know what Lily retrieved from her room, you don't need to know. Hopefully I'll get up the will to write the next chapter (encouragement would be nice) if anyone wants to read beta, that'd be nice. Sayla! Have a good evening.
Er. Sayla is a made up word, if it means anything, feel free to tell me.
