A/N: I actually wrote this chapter a long time ago, but have been unable to post, mostly due to malfunctioning Internet, lack of time, homework, the list goes on forever. I would just like to apologize for the lateness of it and to thank: Crying Pixie, for her neat idea, which had made me laugh. This chapter is dedicated to you girl, you rock. Once again sorry, millions of sorry, a basket full. Now I won't keep you from your reading. Enjoy!

A united friendship

Ch.3: what's this?

'Perfect!' Lily thought. Everything was going well and according to plan. She had gotten up early that morning, despise the lack of sleep she had gotten the night before. She had set a booth right in front of the great hall. According to: Jinxed Times, the school's newspaper, it happened to be the busiest corridor in the school. She had charmed the two canisters to keep the cookies warm and so that the smell could waft through the school. A large banister hung over her head, it wrote: School uniforms?; under that, in smaller lettering: Ban this dominating rule that enables us to have a sense of individuality and creativity.

It was now seven, which meant most people, sensible people at least, would start waking up and heading down for breakfast.

At that moment Sirius Black came down the many steps, heading towards Lily. "Lilster, you got any clothes I can borrow? The guys locked me out and the girls would have a field day if I went around school all day in nothing but a pair of boxers." he said laughing.

Lily just stood there, rooted to the spot, looking at Sirius Black's incredible body. How come she had never actually noticed how incredibly sexy the boys she hanged around with all day were? She kept staring as his muscles gently rippled as he breathed, and then remembered why he was wearing nothing but a pair of silky red and gold boxers. She knew Sirius was right, if he went around like that today, God only knew that he'd finish the day wearing absolutely nothing at all. Not that any of the girls would complain.

"Lils?" he asked, a large smile playing on his lips. "You done ogling?"

"I wasn't ogling, and don't you say any different!" she snapped, coming back to reality at the sound of his voice. How long had she been staring? Oh no! This meant he would either brag about it or us it to black mail her, most likely the later. Black mail, no wonder his last name was Black, or maybe the terminology came from his name, he did black mail often, but only for the fun of it. He loved having something to brag about.

"So? Do you have any clothes or not?"

"Of course I have clothes, can't you see."

"I sure as hell can." he said managing to look sad, all the while looking below her throat with a slight smile.

"Sirius!" she screeched. "Yes, here." she said trowing him a sweatshirt. "Use this for now, I have something up in my dormitory you can use later, but it's not a good idea you go eat...looking like that." she finished as she swallowed hard.

"Of course, if word spread out that I had a sexy bod, I'd be reduced to well, a date every 15 minutes." he said laughing, "All right, I'll come and see you after breakfast and we can go together. By the way, what are you selling?" he asked his eyes lighting up.

"Cookies, want one? You did sign the petition."

"Sure." he said, greedily putting his hand in the canister. "See ya later." he managed to say through a mouth full of chocolate chips and baked dough, he made a slight face, then shrugged it off.

"Want a cookie?" she asked as a student walked by. It was too early she agreed but some people had still taken one.

"Lily! Heard about your cookie idea, bloody brilliant if I do say so myself." said James as he got closer to her booth. "How are the sales coming along?"

"Not bad, I was just..."

"Lily!" screamed Sirius at that moment.

"What? What's wrong?" she asked, looking at the tangled Sirius.

"Girls...attacking!" he managed to gasp out.

"But, I...I can't leave."

"I'll take over for a while." offered James.

"No offence James, but I wouldn't trust you if my life depended on it."

"Oh bloody hell Lily, give him the darn booth while you and I get me something to wear!" exclaimed Sirius.

"Oh alright, but if anything, and I repeat anything happens, I'll...I'll, I don't know yet what I'll do, but you can bet your lucky stars, it won't be pretty." she said, as she started running up the stairs, two at a time. She could hear off in the distance, the unmistakable sound of a ragging mob of girls.

"Cornish pixies!" she yelled, seeing the portrait off in the distance. Reluctantly, the fat lady swung open. "Hurry, get in." she said pushing Sirius in the portrait hole. "You wait down here." she commended, running up the stairway that led to the girls dormitory.

"Not that I have a choice!" he yelled at her retreating back.

"Clothes, clothes!" she said desperately, searching through the messy dormitory. You'd think boys lived in there if it wasn't for the makeup, bras, various articles of pink, that littered the floor. She lifted piles of books and found her favourite black shirt, "so that's where it went." she said aloud. Rummaging through all the things that littered on the floor proved to be quite a difficulty, she'd have to talk to her roommates about how a cleanup might be in order. How could they live like this? Looking for her things in the morning had never bothered her before, she always knew where everything was, despite the mess.

"Something a guy can wear?!" she said, racking her brain, trying to find something

"Aha!" she yelled, as she found what she was looking for. She left the dormitory, leaving a bigger mess behind her, if that was even possible.

She ran down the steeps, chucked the clothes she had found in his arms and ran out of the common room before he even had time to say a word.

Sirius looked down at the clothes she had given him. 'She can't be serious. Aw well.' he thought, shrugging it away.

Lily ran down the many steps, 'well this is one way to get a good workout.' she thought, 'I think I just lost five pounds! Not that I need it.'

'Whoa! What's that awful sound?'

As she got closer to the source of the sound, she found that it seemed to be angry students who were yelling. She went down the last flight of steps and saw it; a ragging mob of students who were pelting her cookies at James who was flattened against the wall in fright. 'Wimp.' she thought, 'wait! My cookies!'

"People! People stop!" she yelled but to no avail. She magnified her voice with the help of a nifty spell she had learnt over the summer. "PEOPLE! STOP! YOUR ALL ACTING LIKE ANIMALS! BACK AWAY FROM THE COOKIES! GOOD, NOW ALL OF YOU GO BACK TO YOUR REGULAR SCHEDULING! NOW! BEFORE I GET A TEACHER!"

"Lily! Thanks man, I thought they were gonna eat me alive." he said, chuckling nervously.

"WHAT THE HELL..uhm! What the hell do you think you were doing?"she asked angrily.

"What? It's not my fault, your cookies are awful!" he exclaimed.

"What? That's preposterous." she walked over to the canister and took a cookie. She took a bite and slowly chewed. "Ugh! These are wretched, what the hell did you do to them?" she asked accusingly.

"Me? I didn't do nothing."

"James, I leave you alone for five minutes with a batch of cookies and you decide to pull an other stupid prank, thanks a lot!" she said, stomping away. James was sure he saw steam came out from under her thick mane of red hair.

Sirius entered the great hall for super. He couldn't believe what Lily had given him, he was better off in her sweatshirt and his pair of boxers than this.

Ernest McMillan, a Hufflepuff idiot whistled as Sirius went by. The girls gapped, others clearly impressed and happy. Of course Malfoy couldn't help but add his little comment. Sirius straightened his back, and walk with pride all the way to a table. He sat down, as some went back to their meal.

"Padfoot buddy, the hell you wearing?" asked Remus.

"Don't ask." he said gloomily. He was wearing a purple wombat jumper and a polka dotted kilt with a strange pair of shoes that Guene had told him where what muggles called: golf shoes.

A herd of giggling girls came and circled him. "Well I guess it's not that bad, especially if it gets the girls." said Sirius laughing.

"Padfoot, it looks like what you wore last Tuesday." pointed out Remus.

"Damn, I knew it looked familiar."
