Lily's Final Answer

Chapter 5 – Truth or Dare?

"Yeah, I don't think so.! I loathe every bit of Potter and I want nothing to do with him." Lily said furiously.

"I agree with Elise, but you can think whatever you want to think." Skyler said with a smile.

"Ok, can we please change the subject or…" Rosie started, but Remus interrupted.

"Hello girls." Remus said while smiling at Elise.

James obviously told Sirius and Remus about the crushes. Elise just looked down at the floor and was glowing a scarlet shade of red.

"Hey Remus, what's up?" Skyler said.

"I just stopped by to say 'hi' and to see if you four lovely ladies would like to join me and the others in the Marauders compartment."

Elise and Rosie looked at Skyler and Lily hoping they'd say yes. Lily owed them for telling their crushes aloud, so hesitantly she agreed. Skyler could care less so she answered.

"Yeah, sure, we could use a couple laughs."

The four girls followed Remus to the Marauders' compartment.

"Moony, we send you out for a snack and you come back with a whole meal. Jeez." Sirius said slyly.

"Where is number 4?" Lily asked.

"Who? You mean Wormtail? He isn't around much anymore. Oh well." James said with a hint of anger.

He was still a bit angry with Lily for what she did to him. Sirius told everyone to sit down and make themselves feel right at home. Remus sat down first. Rosie went and sat down next to Sirius, Elise sat next to Remus, and Skyler sat on the other side of Remus. Lily was still standing in the doorway when she noticed everyone was seated but her. There was only one seat left and it was next to…oh no…James. Everyone was staring at Lily, then to James and the empty seat, then back to Lily.

"It's ok Evans, I don't bite." James said.

"Watch out for Moony; though, he may bite." Sirius said jokingly to Elise.

Everyone laughed except Remus and Lily. Lily sighed and went to sit next to James.

"Would anyone be up for a game of Truth or Dare?" Sirius asked with a smirk on his face.

Everyone agreed.

"I'll start by asking." Skyler said.

"Ok, fine, you can start." Sirius said.

"Umm… Elise! Truth or Dare?" Skyler asked.

"Truth." Elise stated.

"Ok. Tell us who you have a crush on, and make sure everyone can hear."

"Re-Remus." She very softly said under her breath.

"Sorry, didn't catch that."

"I said…I LIKE REMUS LUPIN!" She said nearly at the top of her lungs.

Elise realized what she just did and turned red and looked down. Remus gently put his fingers under her chin to lift her head up. Her eyes met his and Remus kissed her on the lips very softly and sweet. Everyone clapped and whistled for the two. It was now Elise's turn to ask.

"Sirius, Truth or Dare?" Elise asked.

"Dare, of course." Sirius replied.

"Ooo…let me think. I dare you to… full on snog Rosie if she agrees, even though I know she will."

Rosie looked at Sirius and Sirius looked back at her. Sirius leaned in and began kissing her gently, but then soon it became a little rougher. It was definitely full on snogging. It had been 3 minutes and they were still at it like dogs. Skyler stood up and split the new couple apart. She then sat down in her seat. It was now Sirius's turn to ask someone, but who to ask?

"LILY!" Sirius said.

"Huh?" Lily replied.

"Truth or Dare?"

"I never back out on a good dare." Lily said.

"I was hoping you'd say that, because I have the perfect dare for you." Sirius said.

"And this dare would be…?" Lily was waiting.

"Prongs, this will benefit you as well." Sirius cracked a wide smile.
