~*~Chapter 7~*~Till Then ~*~

(A/N: Hope you liked the last chappie, I worked hard for it!! Now comes the slightly surprising part. Most of you very attentive readers may have already guessed this so… sorry! Next chapter will probably be a Quidditch Match or I might have a leading to sort of chapter, not sure. Hey, *looks at the clock * It's 12 am! Exactly! Happy New…Day!! Well, it's now Monday, the second of February, in the year two thousand and four! Hooray! My Birthday in two weeks!! Please try and guess which day!! And remember, as a birthday gift, you guys have to give me loads of reviews! And even IF you hate the story, please review and just tell me about it… I really liked one of the first reviews I got… It was 'CRAP! That was pathetic' or something to that effect. But, the part I didn't like? The reviewer didn't tell me WHY it was so pathetic and crappy!

Miss Prongs : Yes, I know I've been an idiot & I will really try to get it finished with. I'm really sick of this little episode as well.

mika-mitch: It's nice to hear that you like this so much. A lot of my reviewers tell me how much they hate Peter & I agree with them completely. Yeah, and sometimes, when I'm reading a really funny story, I start laughing out loud & my sister looks at me like I'm crazy or something.

Windowseat Wonderer: I really like your id!! For some reason, it makes me think of Fairy Tales and castles and princes, etc. I hope you'll continue to read this fic!

LimeJuiceTub: So, you're from Australia or do you just know about the poem?

Cowgirl Up: I'm glad you see my point. Hope you enjoy this chappie.)

~*~Chapter 7~*~Till Then ~*~

RECAP:

What sort of a sick joke is this?" she asked the group, glaring.

"Just watch Lily, m'dear." Said Sirius as James quieted Lily.

Lily shut up and looked at the girl, unable to stand looking at Steven. There was something quite familiar about her, something that Lily just couldn't pinpoint.

The girl was about 5ft 4in, but she was wearing huge, out of fashion stiletto shoes, making her around 5ft 6in.

The girl's hair looked artificial, like a long wig.

 She was quite pudgy, bulging out in all the wrong places.

 Her cleavage was, um, shall I say too big for her body.

 Her neck was very long and unusually enough, there was something like an Adam's apple protruding.

Her eyelashes were practically painted with a weird green shade.

A slight amount of facial hair could be seen even through the dark red blush on her chubby cheeks.

Her eyebrows were badly out of shape, and looked frayed as though somebody had been attacking them with a fire torch.

Lily peered at her very pink lips, too pink, in fact.

 The lipstick had been slathered rather than applied, stray doodles emerging from the corners of her lips.

To sum it up, it looked as though her make-up had been done by someone, who had the very vaguest idea what a human face should look like.

Her dress was… a flashy gold color, short and revealing, quite cheap and ugly.

A frilly white lace was badly attached to its collar.

Her legs were unshaven, her fingernails and toenails were a bright red colour.

(A/N: Ughh, disgusting. So? Was that a very descriptive, um… description?)

Lily gasped.

"OHMYGOSH!!" Lily had suddenly remembered the bet.

"THAT'S PETER???" she screamed quietly. "DANCING WITH STEVEN?"

Four amused faces turned towards her and nodded.

Sirius rubbed his hands together. "Do you want to see something very funny?"

Suddenly, the faces had extremely mischievous looks on them. Lily nodded greedily.

Sirius went out of the hiding place and motioned to Peter to head towards the center of the hall.

Peter sighed and reluctantly waltzed to the center. The group followed him.

Steven leaned in. Peter was about to move back but the group urged him on.

Larika magically magnified her voice, "Ladies and Gentlemen! Your attention please! You all know Steven McConnell? Our head boy? Well, Steven was hiding something from us and he decided that today all of us should find out."

The lights went out, only a spotlight on Steven and Peter. (Remus)

A dense fog drifted the unmatched pair out of vision. (Lily)

Loud sounds of 'FIZZZZZ-BANG-Whooii' emerged from the fog, sparks flying. (Sirius)

The fog was blown away by a sudden breeze, more like a gale of wind. (Katrina)

There was an audible gasp from the collected crowd.

Steven grappling at Peter's blue dress robe, crying "Don't leave me, Peter darling!" (James)

Steven? Trying to feel up a..a Marauder?

A voice from the crowd called out in the silence, "My God! He's gay!"

Laughter emerged, rippling, spreading, unbelievably contagious. In two minutes flat, the entire student body was laughing their asses off.

Steven was the only one left standing, dumbly staring around, still in shock.

"Peter?" he cried out softly, his voice sad, the effects of the charm still working.

Peals of laughter erupted again.

At 1 o'clock, the dance was over, couples heading back to their common rooms.

Our friends were still in the now abandoned hall, plates and empty goblets lying scattered around.

Lily flicked her wand around, trying to clean up, Remus and Katrina helping her.

The rest were sitting around, Peter yawning widely.

Lara: Hey Lils! Get over here…

Lily: Don't hey me! Can't you see that I'm cleaning up?

Sirius: Yeah, don't hey her. She's not a horse, ya know.

Lily: Thank you, Sirius!

Lara: (Ignoring Sirius) Lily, it's past midnight…I'm tired. Can't we go to bed?

Lily: NO!

Lara: No? (Surprised) Why not?

Lily: Do you think that the reviewers would be very happy if stargirlr gave them such a small chapter?

James: Reviewers? Chapters? Stargirlr? What the hell? Are you feeling all right Lily?

Lily: Ughh! Stop disturbing me! Why can't you people let me clean? (starts singing the song "All I Wanna Do is Have Some Fun" by, um someone who I don't remember their name!) All I wanna do is cleaeaean! I've got a feeling that I'm the ONLY one!

Remus: Hey! You're not the only one! I wanna clean too!

Katrina: Hey! ME three! I wanna clean with you REMI!!!!!!!!

Lily: I thought I told you people NOT to hey me! (glares)

Sirius: Yeah, she's not a horse, ya know!

Lily: Thank you, Sirius!

Lara: Ookay! (rolls her eyes and turns back to the group) So! Anyone up for---

Lily: (Rushes over) Ooh, Ooh! I know! Truth or Dare!

Lara: Well, actually I was---

Sirius: Yeah, Yeah! Truth Or DARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lara: EXCUSE ME!

Lily: You're excused. (turns to Sirius) So, truth or---

Lara: (yelling at Lily's back) EXCUSE ME!!!!

Lily: (Raises her eyebrows in surprise) I thought I told you! You're excused now. You can go. Shoo! Shoo! Scat! Get away! (whines)James! She's not shooing away.

James: Lily, are you sure you're all right?

Lily: JAMES! MAKE HER GO AWAY! My MOM TOLD ME NEVER TO TALK TO STRANGERS!

Lara: STRANGER? Lily, I'm not a stranger! It's me—

Lily: Stranger Alert! Stranger Alert! Wahahah (Police sirens) Mommy, HELP ME!! Everybody on the floor! (Everybody but Lara ducks.) Tadahahahah! (gun noise)

Lara: Lily-

Lily: AHHHHHH! Stranger knows my name! Knows my name! Traitor! Traitor! (look around at people on the floor) There's a traitor in our midst! Traitor!

(Katrina gets off the floor suddenly) Traitor! (points to Katrina) Traitor!

Lara: Do it, Kat.

Lily: Do what? Do what, you traitor?

Katrina: Sorry, Lils. But you know the drill. (Arms herself with something that looks suspiciously like---)

Lily: Injection! Shot! Injections! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. (Katrina pokes) Ouch. (Lily falls to the floor)

Lara: (points wand at Lily) Levitatium! (Lily levitates)

Katrina: (smiles cheerfully) Goodnight boys! See you in the morning. (follows unconscious Lily's lead and Larika)

Peter: (looks at the other Marauders) What was that?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The next morning--

Lily: Bloody hell. My head hurts.

(A/N: Hope you enjoyed this chapter! It was a bit too short, so I added the dialogue thing in there. I wonder if it's really funny or not. Please tell me.The entire dance episode is over and the fat lady's singing. The fat lady happens to be my big fat dog in a nightie singing barking Lil' Bow Wow songs! Kidding of course. But I do have a dog. An adorable boxer named Leo (short for Leonardo Da Vinci) Do review so that I can get past at least the big 30~!! This must have been my fastest update. Please review and congratulate me coz reviews are like a breath of fresh air to me.)
