DETENTION AND MATCHMAKING
The Halloween feast was a blast. Lily and her friends sat with the Marauders, playing Truth or Dare as they eat. (Lame eh?) Everyone had noticed that Lily and James were ignoring each other on purpose, but no one made any comment. Well that is everyone except for Sirius and Melinda, who were shagging each other passionately while they played. "Lily, truth or dare?" Remus questioned.
"Um...I'll think I'll go for a dare." Said the challenged Lily.
Remus looked around at the others, who were nodding in James' direction. He grinned mischievously and announced,
"Lil, I dare you kiss James!"
"What?!" James and Lily jumped up at the same time. They stared at the others in disbelief and then stared at each other in repulsion.
"NO WAY!"
"Yes way. Besides, a dare is a dare!" giggled Melinda.
"Hey do I get a say in this?" James stipulated.
"Poor Jamsie-poo, looks like you don't," cooed Sirius.
"I think Lily shouldn't be forced into a dare like that!" Rachel piped up while Lily smiled at her gratefully. Melinda gave her a look of warning.
Lily glanced at James, who seemed a little shocked and embarrassed. She smiled to herself. Those eyes of his are really adorable. And that cheeky but irresistible smile. Even his hair is cute in it's own way...wait, what am I thinking? His eyes are NOT adorable, he does NOT have an irresistible smile and his hair is definitely NOT cute!
"Earth to Lillian Evans, who is now going to kiss Prince Charming!" Tamari teased gently.
"As if." She coughed.
"Are you going to do the dare or not?" Sirius was growing impatient.
James was trying very hard to look cool and expressionless. I don't care she kisses me or not. I can get whomever I want, whatever I want. But he knew that deep down he cared. A lot. He wanted to know what Lily thought of her. Was he really as stuck-up as she described?
"Come on Lily, don't be a chicken." Melinda urged.
"Alright, alright I'll do it! Geez." She hollered. Wait til I kill you, remus!
Avoiding James's eyes, she walked over and quickly pecked him on the cheeks. When I said quickly, I meant it was gone in the blink of an eye. They both turned slightly pink, but were determined not to show it.
"Hey that was not a kiss!" remus complained.
"That was more like dab of pimple cream on a pimple!" Sirius whined. (Don't ask me why I wrote that!?)
"Well you didn't say how long it should've been!" Lily defended. She was already planning a scheme to kill remus, even if he's nice most of the time.
"Ok ok. I guess you spin the bottle."
***** ~~Detention~~
James and Lily strode to Professor McGonagall's office. Their fight was resolved, but an awkward silence had taken over. Lily was wondering what she'd do for detention, since this was her first time ever.
"I need you two to clean away some graffiti Peeves had obviously done yesterday. You will require some Magi-Cloth (hands it over) and I expect it to be done by the time I check upon you. And no wands allowed." McGonagall spoke sternly.
So what could they do but to follow the instruction. The task was easy enough, all it required was a bit of strength and patience. They were both bored out of their head.
"Let's do something!" James suggested. He had broken the silence.
"Like what?' Lily pondered.
"Like go somewhere more interesting."
"Oh but we got to finish this."
"Watch me." James took out his wand and with one swish, every curse Peeves wrote had disappeared.
"Hey not fair. Didn't Professor confiscate your wand?"
"She did but that was Sirius'. Like I'm that dumb to fall for that!"
"Are you saying that I'm dumb" Lily raised her voice slightly.
"No sorry, Lilykins."
James making sure that no teachers were around, led Lily towards the painting of the fruits. He then tickled the pear, which immediately began to giggle and the door swung open. Lily gawped in amazement as the house- elves came rushing to help James.
"Mr. Potter, what would you like?" Minty the house-elf squeaked.
"Just bring in anything good." He stated plainly.
"Yes sir!" several house-elf dashed off to prepare some food.
"So you surprised, Lily?"
"Of course not. I always knew how you managed to sneak those food." She huffed. She must admit, she was slightly impressed with how good he was around the school. It was like he lived in Hogwarts the whole of his life.
"Yeah sure." James muttered softly. Still a feisty redhead.
Minty came running with a basket of goodies. You could smell it miles away. Lily looked inside. There was an endless supply of desserts.
"Thanks a lot!" she beamed. House-elves are so kind!
"Don't you mean thanks to me?" James said smugly.
"It's not like you prepared the food." Lily snapped.
Minty who was still watching the scene with confusion, said:
"Miss and Sir are very kind to Minty. Sir has a very beautiful girlfriend!"
"SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!"
"HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!"
"Minty is sorry. Minty is very sorry." The poor house-elf spluttered. She was on the verge of tears.
"Look at what you've done!" James hissed.
"It's you as well, you know!" Lily snapped back
"Look we're very sorry about this. We're going now. Thanks for the food!" Lily waves cheerfully.
"You keep the food." James placed the basket in her hands.
"Oh...well, thanks!" Lily grinned like a Cheshire cat. Sometimes he is so annoying but other times he can be pretty sweet!
*****
While Lily and James were in detention, the other six people were racking their brains trying to think of a good plan. Not just any plan, but the top secret L/J Matchmaking Scheme. It was, of course a secret between them, no way were they telling anyone. They had sworn secrecy. It's necessary when you had Sirius the big mouth.
Tamari had a great idea planting in her head, she was an ace when it comes to plans. She shared her plan and everyone agreed that it was indeed a clever one.
"Tomorrow night at 9'o clock it is." She confirmed.
Sorry, left it in a real cliffhanger didn't I? Oh well, guess you have to find out next week! I don't even know what it is myself?! Well cya! Don't forget to REVIEW!
