James tiptoed back to his room, not wanting to walk up his friends. They always stayed up late planning pranks and stuff, but never this late. Yet, when he walked in the door, Sirius was waiting there with a big grin. "So, wrestle any big pieces of metal lately?" Sirius said, referring to the knight's armor.
"Were you watching me all night?" James asked. "Wow, I knew you had no life Padfoot, but this is just sick."
"To quote Remus, 'be quiet, fool!' Yeah, he actually said that." Sirius said to James' look of disbelief.
"So, what is it, 3:30?" James said, looking at the clock that said 2:30.
"The clock says 2:30." Sirius said with an eye roll.
"That clock is an hour slow." James said getting into his pajamas.
"Yet not as slow as Wormtail. Amazing." Sirius said. "So why were you fighting the knight's armor?"
"I was being romantic." James said. He explained the whole knight in shining armor thing and Lily's dream. "Best of all, Lily told me she loved me."
"Oh, wonderful!" Sirius said, lacking a bit of enthusiasm. After all, if Lily really did love Prongs, then there is really no chance of her liking him.
"Yeah, I know." James said as he yawned. "While, g'night!" James climbed into bed and went to sleep. Sirius looked at the moon. 'I wonder if Lily is looking at the moon now, too. Would she be thinking about James...or me?'
Lily was, in fact, looking at the moon. Not in real life, but in yet another dream. She was locked away in a tower, and looking out her only window she saw the moon. She was in full stereotype pink princess dress, complete with a pink, pointy hat with the veil on it. As she looked out the window, two brothers looked at up at her lovingly. There were princes and heir to the throne of the country. "Dear brother, you know I love the lady, why must you feel that way as well?" Prince James asked his brother.
"Well, brother, I love her for the same reasons you love the lady." Prince Sirius said, never taking his eyes of Princess Lily. "Only more."
"We are twins and both heir to the throne." Prince James said. "Who's queen shall this lady be?"
"I propose a bet." Prince Sirius said, reluctantly looking away from Lily. "The first to get the lady to tell him she loves him gets her hand and the throne." Prince Sirius was sure that the lady would love her. Though many of the maidens loved his brother, many more loves him. Why would this lady be any different?
"I accept your bet." Prince James said, "On one condition. We must not tell her we are princes."
"You mean try to win her love as though we are no more than a peasant?" Prince Sirius asked in confusion and scorn.
"That will be the real challenge. If we tell her we are princes, she will love us for our royalty, not for us." Prince James said looking up at the lady. "To win her loves as peasants shall be much more rewarding, do you think?"
"Yes, it will be." Prince Sirius said as he got on his horse. "I shall tell you all about it." Prince James watched as his brother rode away. He looked up at Lily again, and then rode off to catch up with his brother. 'Thy lady shall love me.' Prince James thought as his horse galloped on.
Prince Sirius was just about to beat Prince James back to the castle when Sara started shaking Lily to wake up. "Lily, you missed breakfast! Don't worry, we brought up some oatmeal for you." Norma said.
"Lily never sleeps late, what is up with this?" Sara whispered.
"She did get in late last night." Norma pointed out.
"Do you think she had another dream about You-Know-Who?" Sara asked.
"She probably would have waked us up again." Norma said.
"True. Make sure she gets up. I have some, uh, business to do." Sara said.
"Is it about getting revenge on the Slytherins?" Norma asked, crossing her arms.
"Does it matter?" Sara asked.
"Look, if you get in big trouble with the Slytherins, they'll get you expelled. You know Malfoy will. His daddy is very important with the Magical World. Not to mention with the Dark Side." Norma said.
"Look, don't worry. I'm just going to try to get the stupid Mark off, okay?" Sara said. "Can I go now, Mommy?"
"Whatever." Norma said and she started shaking Lily again.
"If you shake me anymore, you'll rattle my brain." Lily said getting up. "Oh, oatmeal!" Lily started eating her oatmeal and getting ready for the day. She still had some homework left from the weekend to do. She would have gotten it done earlier, but she was too busy thinking about James. 'I hope I don't think about Sirius too much.' Lily thought as she opened her copy of Hogwarts, a History.
