I would like to say a MASSIVE thank-you to the following reviewers:
alecatq: For being my first reviewer. spacecow: For being my second reviewer. Wierd, though, you were the second person in a row to tell me James was too rough. So I tried to easen him up a bit on this chapter. Quinn: LOL, Agne is actually based on a REAL friend called Agne. She's exactly the way I described her only not TOO studious. Musicizdbest: For pointing out my big mistake. I fixed it now. Thanks a bunch!! Yes, it was the wrong story * blush, kick myself!! *.
I would like to say I'm open to any ideas you guys might wanna give. Although, I really would prefer if you e-mail them to me privately so it wouldn't be publicly posted on the reviews and give them away to everyone else. I'm kinda stuck (-_-;;. OK, on with the story-
Chapter One: Outside The Library.
Next morning, Lily was heading to the library to finish off a Potions essay, when she saw the Marauders surrounded by some Hufflepuffs who were obviously laughing at something Sirius was telling them.
Lily tutted to herself as she stalked passed their circle, causing them all to gawk at her in annoyance.
Just before she entered the almost empty library, someone grabbed her by the shoulders and turned her around to face him.
"Potter, not again." Lily moaned, "I promise I haven't told anyone. Not even my best friends."
"It's OK," James grimaced, "I just wanted to -um- apologize myself for my tough attitude and the pain I caused you yesterday." Lily was taken aback at his sudden change; he continued, "I also wanted to tell you- that uh-"
Lily, trying to look as patient as she could, watched him expectantly with raised eyebrows as he tried to form his next sentence. "Well, I re- AHHH!!! Sirius, I give up!! You won, OK? You were right. I couldn't do it. You can come out!"
Lily almost collapsed from shock.
Sirius and Peter came out behind a suite of armour. Sirius was nearly crying with mirth and Peter was grinning broadly.
"YAAY!!" Sirius yelled, "So I've won the bet!!" He shot James an I-Told-You- So look.
Remus just walked passed them, his head barried into a book, into the library. As though unaware of what was going on around him. Apart from that, no one else was on the scene. They were the only ones there.
"Uh, guys," Lily said, her face turning red with anger. "My time here is kinda limited. I've got some stuff to do, you know? So stop wasted my bloody golden time!! An explanation, if you please."
"You do it," James mumbled to his friends and stalked away in a huff down to the Quidditch pitch.
"Uh, it's really simple," Peter began-
"Yeah, we put James on a bet," Sirius continued, "we told him he can never say anything nice to anybody. He protested, so I bet him his leather black jacket he can never compliment you. He accepted the challenge."
"We heard about what happened last night," Peter piped in.
"And, as you just saw, he failed!!" Sirius said, torn between triumph and amusement.
"Next time," Lily began, her voice volume increasing with each syllable she spat out, "choose someone else as your victim!! You wasted 10 fucking minutes of my time!! I could have been halfway through my homework by now, if it weren't for your shit interference!!
At that second, Agne appeared out of the library. "Lily! I heard you yelling!! Why are you late for our meeting? I though we were supposed to study together." While she was saying that, Sirius had nudged Peter and they had both began creeping away while they had the opportunity.
"No problem," Lily said, shooting the boys' backs eye daggers while they disappeared around a corner. "We'll just go in and do it now and then meet Lana when we're done."
"Lily, I've already finished off everything." Agne protested.
Lily groaned. "All right. I'll do it alone. Go ahead. But where should I meet you guys later?"
"How about-" Agne suggested thoughtfully, "By the lake?"
"Ok, I've got stuff I wanna tell you all about." Lily said.
"See you then." And Agne hurried off to search for Lana.
Right after Lily was done with her last sentence, she popped her quill and parchments carefully into her bag, and headed out. But just before she turned down the hallway, someone gagged her mouth with their hands and pulled her away into a corner beside the suite of armour the guys were hiding behind earlier. She let out a muffled scream.
