Authors Note: Sorry for the super long wait, I had Midterms and the stupid science teacher almost failed me (mother fu….oppps sry) Anyway midterms and unit tests took up a lot of my time and also I didn't really know how I wanted to write the next two chapters so that was really hard but I have them both written but I'm only going to post one because I'm evil and I'll post the next one as soon as I hit 75 reviews (and no double reviewing) mmmuuuuuaahhhhhh lol I'm serious.
Disclaimer: I own nothing now that the beloved pencil has left me alone and broken…
In loving memory of the pencil
I found you lying on the classroom floor
Chewed and bitten left at the door
I picked you up because I was poor
And had nothing to write with my fingers sore
Our time together was short and sweet
You always made my work look neat
I'll always remember you as my friend
Even though our time had to end…
Chapter Eleven part 1: Showers, doves and toilets
"I can not believe I actually agreed to this" muttered Lily to herself as she pulled on her favourite pair of broken in denim jeans and her favourite mint green sweater.
"Actually" came Nikki's voice from behind the hangings of her four poster "by the way you were yelling in the entrance hall the other day one would think that you were begging him to go out with you."
Lily chucked pillow at where she was guessing Nikki was.
"Jeez Lily" said Nikki as she finished changing and came out from behind her hangings "I was just teasing you."
"Yeah well" said Lily as she dragged a comb through her hair "I'm not really in a joking kind of mood right now.
"Oh calm down Lily it's just Hogsmeade, and besides" she added " me and Sirius will be there just to make sure you guys don't get into any…trouble" she finished with a suggestive wink. Earning a second pillow from Lily which she gracefully dodged heading for the bathroom. Lily pulled the comb through her hair again trying to smooth it out and checking herself in the mirror. 'It's just one date that's it said to herself hoping to convince herself of this even though she knew in Potter's mind it was far from that.
"Bloody hell James!" cried Sirius from outside the boys washroom hammering on the door "you're probably spending more time in there then Lily!"
"Yeah but Padfoot" said James as he stepped out of the loo "When a girl wants to go out with you that bad you have to look good, not that it would take me that long but"
"Whatever Prongs you're not the only one who needs to use the loo," said Sirius as he pushed James aside and stepped in.
"What was that all about?" asked James as he sat on the edge of Remus's bed giving him a quizzical look.
"I don't really know," said Remus looking as bewildered as James at Sirius's strange behavior." So what do you have planned for the trip?" asked Remus as he pulled on his trainers and brushed his blonde hair off of his face.
"I'm not really sure" said James easing himself onto Remus's four poster "it's not like I ever really planned anything on any of the other dates I've had" he finished stretching and looking thoughtfully out the window.
"Well this isn't really just any girl now is it Prongs?" said Remus looking at James quizzically, "I thought that she was the girl."
"Well she is but it's not like I had any time to really plan anything did I " asked James sitting up and looking at his friend trying to figure out was he was trying to say.
"Ok, you're right James, I'm sure she's just expecting you to go into the Three"
"WHAT!" yelled James absolutely terrified "you think she's actually expecting me to do something?"
"No I didn't say anything Prongs would you relax!" said Remus rolling his eyes as he pulled on his blue jumper with much difficulty.
"Ok fine" said James in an exasperated voice himself too pulling on his green jumper with a picture of the Chudley Cannons on the front "you didn't say it in those exact words but you still think she's expecting something special"
"Well yeah, Prongs" started Remus "You've only been trying to get her to go out with you for the past three years, and look at the way you asked her to Hogsmeade if I was Lily I would be expecting you to lead me into a restaurant with a cage of doves or some romantic shit like that. Not that she'd like it very much, but that's the kind of thing I'd come to expect if a guy had been practically stalking me for the last three years." Finished Remus smiling at James as the look of utter horror became more pronounced on his face.
"Oi! I haven't been stalking her" called James to Remus who was unlocking the door to the boys loo with a knut from his pocket as the sound of Sirius's singing voice could be heard all throughout the boys dorm as he showered … "I'm too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my car, so sexy it hurts" (An: I love that song and it is so something Sirius would say.)
"yeffsure" called Remus from the bathroom, a toothbrush sticking out of his mouth.
"What the bloody hell did you just say Moony?" asked James too stepping into the loo against Sirius's muffled yells of Bloody hell I'm flattered and all but I'm TAKING A BLOODY SHOWER!"
"Never mind" said Remus as he grabbed the mouthwash and gargled.
"He said surrrrrre you haven't been stalking her" came Sirius's voice through the red and gold shower curtain "most guys can barely remember their girlfriends birthday, but you can remember what she wore last week, and she's not even going out with you!"
"Well it's kind of easy to remember what she wore last week Padfoot seeing as though we wear bloody uniforms."
"You know what I mean" replied Sirius sticking his head out of the shower and frowning at his friend "Oi! Moony throw me a towel will you?" Remus reached for a face cloth and chucked it at his friend.
"Oi! Very funny Moony" came Sirius's voice as Remus through a proper towel at him.
"Yeah I know what you mean I just want this to go right, but according to Remus I should have rented a horse drawn carriage or something like that." Said James trying desperately but with no success in flattening his unruly hair.
"Don't worry about it Prongs" said Sirius as he ruffled James's hair ruining any progress that he had made.
"Now if you don't mind" started Sirius in a polite voice "could I have two bloody minutes in the loo without an entire congregation!"
"Oh sorry mate" replied James stepping out of the loo sitting on his four poster and pulling out a copy of witch broomstick. Trying but failing to be interested in reading an article on 'How to get rid of broom tail lice in just 5 easy shampoos!'
He turned his attention to the window looking outside at the first and second years enjoying the day before the dark clouds heading their way threatened to pour rain on their day of relaxation. His eyes drifted from the lake to the forbidden forest trying to think of something romantic that he could do to make their 'date' special "this isn't even a date and you know it Prongs" he thought to himself, "Lily would kill you if you even mention the word date" he sighed he would just have to make the date special wouldn't he? Maybe the doves' thing wasn't such a bad idea he thought to himself smiling.
"Well may as well get down there right? We don't want to keep our dates waiting," said Remus with one last look in the mirror.
"You mean your date Moony," said Sirius emerging from the washroom "and our forced and lady friends"
"Well that too I guess" said Remus laughing at the horror stricken look on James face as they rounded the corner from the boys dorms into the common room, and awaited the arrival of the girls, James standing rigid as a wall.
Then he spoke breaking the silence "Sirius?" James asked wrinkling his noes.
"Yeah mate?"
"Are you wearing cologne?"
"Well…you know…just wanted to… smell nice"
With that Remus and James burst out in fits of laughter
"Oh my god! Nikki get the bloody hell out of the washroom!" yelled Lily frustrated banging on the door to the girls washrooms.
"Hang on a minute" called Nikki through the door "why do you care anyway it's not like you want to look good, what ever happened to "this isn't a date Nikki!'?"
"I'm not trying to look good" said Lily as Nikki came out and she rushed in locking the door. I just think that it would be highly embarrassing for me to wet myself" she finished as a flushing sound could be heard within the washroom.
"uuummmmhmmmm" came Jenny's voice from the entrance to the girl's dorms "were you two ever going to come to breakfast?"
"We were just as soon as Lily was finished emptying here bodily fluids," said Nikki with a smile.
"Whatever" said Lily as she emerged form the loo and grabbed her purse "are we all set then?"
"Oooooo aren't we anxious" said Jenny with a knowing smile.
"Yeah" said Nikki and Lily in unision "anxcious to get the bloody day over with."
