"Whatever, so lets hear your side," Lily said. "If you don't hurry, Anthony will think I am cheating and that would break our deal."

"Deal? Cheating?" Sirius was suddenly very interested and got off the ground.

"Yeah I date him for a year, with kissing and friendly demeanor, but no cheating if he proved magic was real," Lily explained. "And he did."

"Hmm, so you're only going out with him because of a bet," James said. "That explains a lot."

"No, that is not the only reason, but this is really none of your business," Lily said.

"I'd like to make it mine," Sirius raised his eyebrows up suggestively.

"Enough already!" Lily yelled, looking at her watch. "Just tell me about your perspective on the houses."

"Well, Ravenclaw is for the smart ones, really dedicated, academically ambitious, wise, philosophical types," Remus said.

"Hufflepuff is for the loyal, content type. Generally satisfied with what they have, very patient," Sirius explained.

"Gryffindor is for the brave, and tends to have the most conflicts with Slytherin. Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw generally side with Gryffindor, but the main battle, year after yeas is SSalazar versus Godric," James said. "It was, after all, Godric who ordered Salazar out of Hogwarts while Ravenica and Helga merely didn't intercede."

"Oh, yeah. Erik was telling me about that," Lily recalled.

James muttered to Remus, "How come they keep coming into this conversation?"

"Don't be jealous, James," said Sirius, who had overheard him.

"WHAT?!" James cried. "I am not!"

"Uh, guys," Lily said. "I'm gonna go find them now. See ya around."

When she started to leave again, she was dragged back, this time by Remus.
