"SLOPPY JOES!" They screamed, and doubled over with laughter. Once they had recovered from laughing, they
being Susan and Lily, they took the two other trays and sat down. Opening them up, the boys saw they had
mashed potatoes, gravy, steak, the works.
"Hey! How come you guys get fancy food and we get slop?" James asked, eyeing Lily's food. Sirius swallowed
loudly.
"Lily, Susan, this is the best slop I've ever had. Can we get seconds?" Sirius asked. They all looked at
Sirius; he had already finished.
"Sure, there's plenty more in the kitchen, help yourselves!" Susan said. James dug in and discovered that
the sloppy joes were delicious. The boys ate the whole batch, which is a LOT of food.
"Boys..." Susan and Lily muttered at the same time.
"JINX!" They said in unison. They both almost fell out of their seat laughing.
"Anymore food?" James asked.
"Nope. You guys go do...guy stuff while I help Susan clean up." Lily said, shooing them out of the dining
room.
In Sirius' room (he is also staying with the Potters)
"Man, James, when you marry that girl, she's coming over to my house every night to cook me some of those!"
Sirius said, plopping down on the bed.
"No, you'll just have to race your ass over to our house and get some before I eat them all!" James said,
plopping down next to him.
"We have to get Moony some of those...those could make any werewolf hyper right after a full moon!" Sirius
said as Lily stepped into the door.
"LILY!" James exclaimed. "How much did you hear?" He asked nervously.
"Relax, I've known Remus was a werewolf since our first year." She said calmly, shutting the door behind
her.
"YOU FOUND OUT BEFORE US?!" Sirius yelled.
"Yeah. I confronted Remus right after I found out. I really don't care, he's a great person." Lily said,
sitting on the bed.
"What else do you know?" Sirius asked warily. James and Sirius stood up in front of her.
"That you sleep with a teddy bear, Sirius, that James asked that girl Molly B. in the third year out and
she beat him up, that you're secretly dating Lauren., that the longest time James' has had a girlfriend
is a year with Stephanie D, that all of your gang knows every password to every common room, that Peter's
never had a girlfriend, that you two are animagus, that Peter sleeps with rubber lining on his bed, that
you and James are scared of the guy on the oatmeal box, and much more. I'm going to go take a shower if
you don't mind." Lily got up, but James and Sirius pinned her to the bed. "Or not."
"How do you know about us being animagus?" James asked.
"And how do you know about Snuffles?" Sirius demanded. ((A/N: Haven't you always wondered how Sirius got
that name for the dynamic trio, Harry, Ron and Hermione? ))
"I was out on my prefect's duties one night and went for a walk around the grounds. I saw you guys
transform, but I decided not to tell anyone because I knew you guys did it because you were being
loyal friends to Remus. And about your teddy bear, I found him in the common room with "Property of
Sirius Black" written on the tag, and I levitated it up to your dorm." Lily said in one breath. "Happy?"
"Not completely. I've got one more thing. Sirius, we'll be right back." He took Lily's hand and dragged
her to his room ((A/N: Which happens to be the one where he put Lily, if you were wondering. ))
He closed and locked the door behind him.
"What else did you want?" Lily asked. James took her over to the bed, leaned in, and kissed her.
((A/N: Mind you, not a little peck, but the works. I'm not going to describe them because I
don't want to poison any little virgin ears. Let's just say that it involves a bit of saliva
exchanges.)) To James' surprise, Lily was VERY willing. When they stopped for air, James
noticed that any mistrust for him in her eyes was gone. Instead, he saw the faintest trace
of a mischievous glint. "Happy now?" She asked.
"Almost." They kissed again, and Lily buried her hand in his hair. James, seeing this as a good
sign, leaned in a bit more and they fell back into the bed. Coming up for air again, James smiled.
"I love you, Lily."
"I love you too, James."
