A/n: Ok, I just wrote chapter five like ten minutes ago and since I am utterly bored, I'll start on chapter six. Chapter five was suppose to be about the punishment, but I decided against it. Cuz I mean, if my story is going to be under 'Romance' and 'Lily' and 'James', I have to include it in my story somewhere. Anyways, this story is going to real long. I can see it already. It'll be amazing if I finish it before New Years!! School starts tomorrow and I'm dreading it. Not that I don't dread having to go to school everyday. But starting tomorrow, I'll be going to school eight days straight!!! AHHHH!! Our school gave us a vacation starting on Oct. 1, and is includes the weekends. They say that the weekends are included, but we already get weekends off!! Not fair! I don't know how their minds work, but it ain't fair!! Even the people who work have the same schedule as us!!! HMPH!! This sucks!

Anyways, if I keep writing a/n 's then the story won't start.

Ttly.

Lily and James Sixth Year War

The Punishment

"Ok, guys, we better start heading to the common room. Lils and Remus might be there already." Said Soph as she finished the last of her crumbs.

"Geez Soph! You're like Lily! You lick your plates clean until there is no sign left that you ate something besides your bulging stomach!" teased Bella.

"Hey!" screamed Soph, pretending to be offended.

"Well its true!" Bella said, playing along.

With that, the two , stood up and started to chase each other out of the Great Hall and towards the Gryffindor Common room.

"Well, I guess I better get moving too." Said James.

He felt lonely after Sirius skipped out the hall and Remus and Lily went off.

'I wonder where Wormtail is. Hope he's having a good time.'

With that, James stood up and left the Great Hall.

Gryffindor Common Room

"Ok everyone is here, right?" said Lily.

Soph stood up and started counting.

"Sirius, one,"

"Yes I'm here! I've been here with Lily and Remus!" cried Sirius, trying to sound offended though a grin broke out across his face. (no, there was already a grin on his face, he started to smile wider then!)

"Arg! Sirius, I was just counting!" said Soph, slightly annoyed.

"Here, I'll count." Volunteered Bella.

"One, two, three, four, five, si-"Bella counted.

"Wait a minute! Five?!?" exclaimed Lily.

"Lily?" asked Remus

"Doofus! You know I'm here!"

"Ok, ok, ok, just making sure!" Remus replied.

Lily blows a raspberry.

"Soph?"

"Here!" replied Soph, still annoyed by Sirius.

"Bella?"

"What!?" asked Bella, who was now also annoyed.

She and Sirius started to play a game of Gobblestones, and she was losing terribly.

"Geez! These girls have a serious PMS problem or something." Mumbled Remus a little too loud.

"I heard that!" all three girls cried out.

"Sorry!" said Remus, trying to get out of the situation he just landed in.

"PMS was last week you idiot!" screamed Soph.

Remus blushed a deep crimson.

"Th-that was a little too much info needed!" stammered Remus who flushed a deep color.

Click! Lily's camera shuttered again.

"LILY EVANS!!! WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH THAT PICTURE!!!" cried Remus

Click! Remus flushed a deeper color (not as close as the first one though) and Lily just used her camera.

"Don't worry, you might get them back!" Lily winked.

The moods of the three girls automatically lifted after seeing Remus flushing red and Lily taking pictures.

All three (Soph, Bella, and Sirius) were now on the floor clutching their stomachs and laughing real hard.

The Gryffindor portrait swung open and in came James Potter.

"Uh guys? What's going on here?" asked a confused James.

Lily and Remus still screaming and chasing each other took no sign of noticing the new comer, but Sirius stopped for a split-second and pointed at the two moving characters.

Click!

Click!

Click, Click!

"LILY!!! I DEMAND THAT YOU THROW OUT THAT FILM ROLL!!!" shouted Remus.

"NU-UH! YOU HAVE A BET TO LIVE UP TO!" Lily screamed back.

It took James about three minutes before falling to floor and laughing with the others.

Soph, gathered herself together and decided to get to work before people started filing in so they could get the charm up.

Sonorus (a/n: sp?) Soph whispered pointing her wand at herself.

"LILY EVANS AND REMUS LUPIN! I DEMAND THAT YOU GUYS STOP ACTING LIKE TODDLERS AND GET YOUR ARSES OVER TO THE FIRE PLACE!!!" Soph's voice boomed around the common room.

The laughter stopped and Bella, James, and Sirius, crawled themselves towards the fireplace, trying to avoid Soph's eyesight, for the fear of her anger being turned onto them.

Lily and Remus stopped chasing each other. Lily sent her camera back into her dorm and together she and Remus walked towards the fireplace.

Lily seated herself on her favorite armchair, while James and Sirius sat themselves on the couch directly in front of the fireplace where a coffee table lay for them to use.

Soph and Bella occupied the loveseat where Remus had sat, whereas, Remus, sat himself in the armchair across from Lily's.

"Ok, now that that's all taken care of," stated Soph, her voice, showing no trace of anger that occupied her voice three minutes ago, "Lily, would you do the honors and conceal us?"

"Yes." Lily stood up, and with her wand drew a line around the place McGonagall had instructed. Then, she whispered something while waving her arms like an orchestra conductor.

After Lily finished her little wand movements, something, clear, and yet silver (think of the invisibility cloak, when you just hold it up and not use it) shot up from where the line that Lily traced was. It bended and turned until the six was enclosed around the fireplace.

Lily then continued to walk around to everybody, muttering a spell, allowing each person to walk freely in and out of the territory.

"Good! Now, each of you can walk in and out of this area." Stated Lily.

"Ok. Down to work," started Bella, "But, we need parchment and quills."

"don't worry."

Accio parchment!

Accio quills and ink!

James and Sirius voiced shouted.

Seconds later, parchment, quills and ink, came zooming out of the boys dorm.

Sirius, unluckily, got splattered with ink that hit the edge of the table instead of landing on it.

This brought a new round of laughter while Sirius used the cleaning spell to rid himself of the black ink.

"OK. Lily, breathe in," Lily conducted herself, "and out."

"Whew. Padfoot man? You ok?"

"yeah, prongs, just nifty!"

"Whatever. Now, start writing, the quicker you finish the more time we have to ourselves." Stated Soph

"I've got homework to finish!" stated Lily.

The boys just rolled their eyes.

Accio homework!

The girls cried out at the same time.

"great minds think alike eh?" laughed Bella.

"you bet!" came Soph's voice.

"SoOo... Lily? Are you going to help them or am I alone?" asked Remus.

Sirius and James just stared at the girls, eyes wide with shock.

"No, don't worry, we'll help. We'll just do our homework while your at it, right girls?" came Lily's muffled reply.

Her head was already behind her books and she already completed half a page for her DADA assignment.

Soph and Bella nodded their heads, but it was almost impossible to see since they were also buried behind their books.

Remus just shook his head.

Sirius and James recovered from their shock and started on their punishment.

Headmaster's Office (roger n' out! Roger n' out!)

"Ah! Minerva! I believe the message is sent and dinner is over. Let's see what's going on." A slight glint could be seen in Dumbledore's eyes.

"Yes Albus, now lets see, what do we do now?"

Swish, flick, wave.

A hole in the floor appeared, but then images started to come in.

"Ahhh! The mirror spell! I should have known! No wonder you wanted them seated around the fireplace! Every fireplace has a mirror implanted in it."

"Yes, Minerva. Now lets see, shall we?"

Peeking into the hole they saw James and Sirius scribbling on the piece of paper, sometimes looking up to ask questions. Remus would lean over, helping them, while the girls shouted answers over their homework.

"Uh, Albus? What exactly are the girls doing? I don't recall a needing for books."

"Ahh, Minerva. There is no need. Those are simply their textbooks. Typical of these girls. They are using time wisely. They are doing their homework!" exclaimed Dumbledore.

"are they allowed to? I mean, shouldn't they be helping like the way you instructed?" questioned McGonagall.

"Ahh, but they are! You see, how sometimes, the boys lift there heads?"

Minerva nodded.

"the girls in turn, yell back their answers." Continued Dumbledore.

Minerva, was still baffled.

"But professor, how do you know all this? You can't hear anything through the mirror." Asked McGonagall.

"All, but I can!" said Dumbledore full of spirit.

Minerva wore a puzzled look on her face.

"Huh?"

"Ah, I see that you don't understand, or did you not take Muggle Studies?"

McGonagall blushed.

"I took Muggle Studies, but what does that have to do with this?"

"They don't teach it now, but back when I was at school, in my third year, I took Muggle Studies." Dumbledore paused.

Minerva nodded her head to show that she understood.

"Well, while taking that subject I learned how to read lips (a/n I know that this might not really happen but stick with me k?) and it comes in use now as you see."

"Oh" was the only thing that escaped McGonagall's pursed lips.

"you see there?" Dumbledore said, pointing at James' whose lips were moving.

McGonagall looked closely, pulling her glasses up.

"He is asking Lily how to spell the stunning spell."

"You mean, Stupefy?"

Dumbledore nodded his head.

"They used it?" McGonagall looked as if the spell rebounded and hit her instead.

"NO, but I bet they want to spice but their essay."

"Is that cheating?"

Dumbledore's eyes twinkled.

"Yes, but we are spying so that counts too."

The two then looked back into the hole, Dumbledore, sometimes explaining what is happening.

Gryffindor Common Room

"Hey Lily?" James asked.

Lily kept her head down, concentrating on her potions essay.

"Yeah?"

"What is the spell that stuns people?"

"You mean 'Stupefy' ?" asked Lily, no emotion in her voice what so ever.

"yeah. Could you spell it?"

"Why?"

"I don't know how to" said James sheepishly.

"S-T-U-P---wait a minute!" Lily tore her eyes away from her paper,

"Yes?"

"You used that spell?" asked Lily, her voice rising a little.

"No, but-"

"you're putting that on your paper? That you stunned Sirius?"

"Well-he said he stunned me!" cried James, getting defensive.

"if he stunned you, then how can you stun him?"

"Good thinking. I'll say you un-stunned me and then I stunned him!" said James.

"No, I bet I would have left you that-"Lily abruptly stopped, Remus glared at her.

"Lily are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine. Yeah sure you can right that."

Lily looked back at her paper.

The room was silent once more, except for the scribbling of quills on parchment.

"Hey Soph?" Sirius' voice broke the silence.

"Yeah." Still writing.

"Um, where did Madame Pomfrey put me in the hospital wing?"

"You were on the very last bed on the left side of the wing" came Bella's voice.

"thanx."

"No prob."

Silence,

Silence

Silence

"Achoo!" Remus sneezed.

"Ah!! Remus!! You got snot all over my paper!!" Cried Sirius.

"Sorry-Achoo!"

"Remus! Now mine is all messed up!"

"sorry." (ahh! No sneeze!)

"Achoo!" (I spoke too soon)

"Guys, I thought I told you to do the saving charm on it about two minutes before Remus sneezed sends glare at Remus just say the incantation while pointing your wand on the piece of parchment and everything saved you transfer onto the clean piece of parchment." Stated Lily, who was finishing up her Transfigurations essay. (a/n: stick with me ok? I know they probably don't have saving charms, but let's just say in this story there is?)

"Ok, thanks" said James as he retrieved the two parchments from his dorm.

murmurmurmurmurmur ( that is suppose to be the unknown charm incantation)

"Ah! Look! It does work! Bravo for Lily!" cried Sirius

He and James both said thank you to Lily who jus told them to shut up, because she was almost finished her essay.

After the thank you's, James turned to Remus,

"No offense Moony, but next time you sneeze, use a tissue, or direct it somewhere away from our punishment? K?"

Remus blushed, Click, Lily took a picture. (isn't it amazing how she has the camera when Remus blushes?)

"Sorry guys." Remus turned to Lily, "I won't bother chasing you, cuz, if I do, I'll get hexed bad since your in your homework mood."

"Good for you. Now shut up! I'm almost done!" Lily replied.

Silence.

Silence.

Silence.

Silence.

Silence.

Silence.

Silence.

Silence.

Silence.

Silence.

Silence.

Silence.

Silence.

Silence.

Silence.

Silence.

(Ahhh!!! I can't take any more silence!!!!!!!!!)

"COMPLETE!"

"FINISH!'

"DONE!"

The girls have this strong bond. All three completed their homework at the same time.

"Wow! Do you girls have this thing timed or something?" asked Remus.

"No. But being best friends with alike personalities, we tend to do things at the same time. Right girls?" answered Bella.

Lily and Soph nodded their heads. A big grin on each of their faces.

All three started to pack up. About ten seconds later (of course magic was used) the three sent their bags flying up to their dorm.

People outside of the barrier ducked their heads to avoid collision with the heavy bags.

Some whined, "Why can't we sit there?" or "that's not some punishment! They got the best seats!"

The six sitting in there, hearing these complaints just smiled and waved at whoever whined.

About three minutes after the girls finished James and Sirius did.

"Eureka! Completo!" came Sirius' remark.

"Ow! My hand hurts!" was James' remark.

"geez. I seem like the only person who doesn't finish something at the same time with my best friends!" remarked Remus, trying to sound left out, but failed terribly.

"Aw, Moony, feels left out! Well maybe that's because you didn't have anything to do. You could have done your homework you know." Pointed out Sirius.

"Well, I wanted to do it with you guys!" Remus replied.

"Ha! I highly doubt Sirius here will do it! Right buddy?" asked James.

"I don't know. I might do it, if we still get to you this area." Thought Sirius out loud.

"well, lets see. We owl these to Dumbledore and ask him if we can use this for your homework. K?" Lily spoke up.

"Yeah sure."

Lily whistled for her owl, one that looked a lot like Hedgwig (maybe his mother!?), Snowy (I know it's a cheesy name, but I didn't know what else to call it. If you have a name, email me it. K?).

Snowy flew down and entered the 'area' (I don't think the spell has to preformed on the owl). Lily attached the two parchments and all six started to work on the request one.

Professor Dumbledore,

James P. , Sirius B. , and Remus L. would like to request the use of the space around the fire place in order to complete their homework. If we may, may we please continue the use of this place. If this is not possible we will be glad to take the charm off and do our homework in some other area. Please consider this, and attach your reply on Snowy. Thank you very much.

You students,

James P.

Sirius B.

Remus L.

(a/n: I know it sounds corny and all, but that was all that I could think of ok? If you have better message, mail me it.)

With the attached message, Snowy flew off.

Headmaster's Office (oh no! the horror!)

"Albus, Snowy just flew in, but with one extra letter." McGonagall 's voice shot out.

"Ahh. Let's see. Hmm. Minerva, they are asking to use the 'punishment place' to do their homework. As you are the head, you may decide. I will read about their duel." With that, Dumbledore too the two messages and went to his desk and read them.

McGonagall on the other hand was debating whether or not to let them use the space.

"Oh why not, the other people are probably used to it already." Thought McGonagall.

With that, she wrote a yes for the reply.

Mr. Black, Mr. Potter, and Mr. Lupin,

Your wish has been granted.

Professor M. McGonagall.

With that, she attached the reply and sent Snowy on her way.

Meanwhile in the corner, Dumbledore, reread the essays.

"mmm. These are good. Minerva, are you done with your decision making?" asked Dumbledore

"Yes, sir. I just sent Snowy on her way." Replied McGonagall.

"Good. Here. Why don't you take these, read and put it into your file for Mr. Potter and Mr. Black."

"Yes, sir. "with that, she took the essays, left the headmaster's office (whew!), and returned to her office.

Gryffindor Common Room

"Hey! Guys its Snowy!" exclaimed Bella who was losing at another game of Gobblestones with Soph.

"and its caring a scrap of paper!" added Lily.

Snowy swooped down and landed on Lily's shoulder.

"here you go. Now let's see..." Lily gave Snowy a small treat and took scrap of paper from her.

Snowy took off with the snack still between her beak back into Lily's dorm.

"And..."inquired Sirius.

"Yes!" cried Lily.

"Good. Here you go James, Padfoot. I did the honor and bought your homework down already." Came Remus' voice.

The three boys gathered around the coffee table scribbling on answers, often sharing thoughts with one another.

Bella lost to Soph. No big surprise. Lily sat there reading a book.

An hour after the silence fell over the group, (Bella and Soph both bought out a book to read), Remus finally announced that he finished.

"What's wrong Remus?" asked Lily seeing the disappointed face on Remus' face.

"Nothing. I just thought, when I finished, my best friends would finish with me." said Remus.

"It's alright. I bet you that James will finish before Sirius. Last time was just outta luck." Said Lily, trying to cheer up Remus.

James looked up from his piece of paper. Bella and Soph stopped reading. Sirius was trying to finish before James.

"y-y-y-you c-called me James!" screamed James, very excited.

"Omigosh Lily! Are you ok?"

"do you have fever?"
"we should bring you to Madame Pomfrey."

Came the response of Lily's friends. James just looked like he was in heaven.

Lily laughed.

"No, I'm a-o-k. Yes I called him (pointing at James, careful not to use the middle finger) James."

"But why?" asked Soph.

Lily couldn't tell her about the bet. Remus would kill her, so she made up something else.

"Because, Remus said, that if I could be civil with James, he'd give me a chocolate frog box at the end of each month."

Everybody knew that Lily had a huge craving for chocolate, so it was accepted.

Remus looked like he'd been robbed.

He went over to lily and whispered, "I ain't that rich!"

"Don't worry, I saved us from trouble. Just buy me one box this month, and I'll return you the empty box for you to reuse." Lily whispered back.

"Ok, fine!" said Remus.

James, not hearing about the deal, sat down and started to continue his homework.

Two minutes later, Sirius cried out, "DONE!"

This shocked everybody, that the girls fell off their seats, Remus' jaw dropped, and James quill snapped.

"Holy shit! Sirius! Your joking right?" cried out James.

"Not at all." Sirius grinned.

The rest stared.

"so, are the three lovely ladies' arses (a/n: sp?) hurting." He bent down to offer a hand.

The girls though, still in shock didn't see the hand, or hear Sirius, if they did, Sirius would be in a very difficult state.

After about a minute of shock, everybody recovered.

Sirius left to go somewhere, most likely the kitchen, and the girls said that they were tired and went to sleep.

After the girls left, James finished.

"I'm done. Come on Moony. I'm tired." Yawned James.

"Yeah sure. You just want to dream about me sis (a/n: if your wondering, Remus and Lily are real real close, sista brother wise, so they refer to one another that way), but nonetheless, I'm tired lets go."

The left and went upstairs to their dorm, where each fell asleep immediately.

(a/n: if your wondering, after Lily left, the shield thing disappeared)
