Turning to address the crowd he laughed. "You heard it hear first folks. Miss Lily Evans appreciates my firm arse." The other students laughed along with him, all apart from three. Kate, Sarah and Chris turned to follow their friend.
When they arrived back at the common room it was deserted. Making there way up to the dormitory the discussed what they would say to Lily, she was always pretty touchy after these encounters, and Sarah and Chris didn't want to be on the end of another Lily rant. Kate however couldn't resist she was just too easy to wind up, and plus firm arse, this was just too good to miss.
Entering the dormitory they saw an extremely red looking Lily sitting on the edge of one of the beds. She looked up when they entered. "Lils, that shade of red you've painted your face really clashes with your hair you know" started Kate.
"Don't start, Kate" Lily started
"Don't start what Evans?" Kate asked innocently.
"You know what."
"Do I? I know they say ignorance is bliss but I can assure you its not. I'm just very confused."
"Kate" Sarah cut in laughing. "You'd be able to pull off the innocent act if it wasn't for that smirk, gives it away a bit. Maybe Lily doesn't want your opinion about her statement about Potters fine backside."
"I can't believe I said that, what was I thinking?" Lily moaned.
"About Potters rear?" Kate added helpfully.
"Ahhhh, Shut up Kate, go and.........go and..."
"Go and think dirty thoughts about Sirius" Chris finished for Sarah. All the girls burst out laughing, Kate had had a crush on Sirius for the past year, told her friends she wouldn't say anything to him as they were both quite good friends.
"Hey better idea why don't we pop down to the common room and get us some decent seats" said Lily. Her friends looked at each other startled, shed got over this embarrassment quickly.
The four wandered down to the common room and sat down on two of the big sofas by the fire. Talking quietly none of them noticed the portrait door open and a string of Gryffindors walk through, until a large laugh brought them back. Lupin it appeared was having the whole corridor seen re-enacted by Sirius, playing Lily and James.
".....but the best part was when she'd left and Jim spoke to the rest of the school. I reckon the mob wants to see them two together" finished Sirius.
Lily was looking murderous. Who cared about the mob, what about what she wanted. "I'm going to the Library gang, see yas later" she said leaving. The group looked up, but they weren't surprised, she was better left alone in these moods any way. The Marauders walked over to where the other girls were sitting.
Sirius squeezed himself between Kate and Chris, with Remus and James sitting either side of Sarah on the other sofa. "You all right their hun, or should I move?" said Kate to a rather squashed Sirius.
"Move." Said Sirius, testing her.
"Not bloody likely." Kate replied.
"Why did you ask then?"
"I was being polite, evidently you don't even know the meaning of the word" Said Kate primly. At this the group burst out laughing.
"You polite that'll be the day" said James.
"Shut up. You may have a nice butt, but that don't give you the right to be rude to me." Kate came back quickly. James looking proud of himself, said" you think so too?"
"Don't be thick prongs she fancies me" cut in Sirius, slipping his arm round Kate's shoulders.
"Sure" said Kate rolling her eyes, but her usual sharp sarcasm was not as evident as usual, and this was not even lost on Sirius, who was looking rather happy, with his arm still round her.
Looking up they saw Lily enter the room, observing her best friends sitting with her enemies, one who had his arm round Kate, obviously she had missed something, she would catch up later but now. "Potter," she said quietly. He looked up. "We're wanted in Dumbledore's office now" Throwing a worried look at his friends he followed Lily out of the room.
