A/n: OMG!OMG!OMG! So sorry!! I really wanted to, and planned to update this story like every weekend, but this skool is SOOOOOOOOO hectic!! So much hw!! I sometimes don't even have enough time to get to go out and REAL fun!! Yeah, I get on the computer everyday, cuz, well there's msn and aim, but because of my horrid grades (a B, it aint bad!! ... except to me mum) I have LIMITED time on the computer, like 20 minutes, and I've tried, but that isn't enough time to write a GOOD chapter, and with msn and people constantly chatting with me, I cant concentrate!! Now, I am still under a lot of pressure, we have FINALS coming up, I have LOTS of projects to do, and one that I need to translate into Chinese (which is hard!!) and a Chinese speaking test…I am really nervous, but I still found time…that's cuz my bro's not at home…yay!! Now…ON WITH THE STORY!! (hopefully all this other stuff going on doesn't disturb my writing….)

Lily and James Sixth Year War
Remus' and Lily's Bet
It was the fifth day of December and Remus was really worried. He and Lily made a bet, and he had six days left before it was the eleventh, which is two weeks before Christmas and the Christmas Ball. Remus was so nervous, he actually forgot to go and eat lunch. He walked to the next class, which was DADA (and was still 2 hours away) in which was with the Ravenclaws. Which meant he would be able to see Jessica!! The thought thrilled Remus that he almost crashed into Lily.
"AHH! Remus! I've got hot coffee!! Watch where you're going-" screamed Lily as she moved the cup away from her shirt.
"Wait a minute! I know that look!! You've been daydreaming again about Jessica haven't you?" teased Lily.
Remus blushed…again, but tried to hold it back because he knew that if he did Lily would swipe out her camera and start clicking away.
"So!? What if I am? What are you going to do about it?" Remus shot back, not to be taken.
"Are you thinking about asking her out? You've got…lets see…SIX DAYS LEFT!!" laughed Lily.
Remus didn't know what to say back, yeah, he was. Lily was taking the bet easy. She and James were on better terms, and she had gotten used to the face of calling him "James" and not Potter, or some other rude name. But occasionally, you could hear Lily saying the name Potter to her friends when she was not in a good mood, or the Marauders played a prank that she didn't really like.
"What if I was?! I'm not going to suffer complete embarrassment in front of my pals, and the girl I like!?!" Remus retorted back, the last part was said a little bit too loud and the girls in the corridor started talking, murmurs echoed around the corridor.
"Good Job Remus, you just sent another wave of rumors around the school. Now I bet all the girls are gonna start flocking about trynna figure out who the 'special' girl that you like is." Said Lily. She never really liked the thought of rumors going around the school about the Marauders, because normally, she would be the one who everyone comes to ask questions and tries to solve the problem. Remus just started blushing…and…yup! You guessed it!
CLICK!
Remus blushing just sorta 'lightened' Lily's mood as the camera started fluttering capturing the dramatic color on Remus' face. Remus, of course, did not like this, and started to go into another rampage
"LILY EVANS!! U THROW OUT THAT ROLL IMMEDIATELY!!" screamed Remus.
Lily just started to swiftly glide out of Remus' grasp and giggled like a young school child, "Nope, Sorry! No can do!! Remember the bet!! If you can live up to it, you get to save your arse, and if you don't, aww!! Sorry!! Poor baby!!" l
Remus leaped at Lily, and all Lily did was side step and avoided the collision. The two went around the whole castle, chasing each other, well, Remus chasing Lily, and Lily taking picture after picture. After about 20 minutes of chasing and two rounds around the castle, the shuttering of the camera stopped.
"AW! BLOODY HELL!! THERE'S NO MORE FILM! And I don't have another film roll with me!!" Lily slumped down onto the steps in front of the Gryffindor tower.
"HAHA! That's what you get in turn for taking all these pictures of me!!" exclaimed Remus, feeling triumphant.
Then the rest of the gang (Sirius, James, Bella, Soph) came, the site of a sad, but thinking Lily, and a grinning Remus, told the four of them that something happened and a switch in feelings had happened. At first, the four just stood there, carefully examining over the two bodies. Remus and Lily didn't seem to see the others either, they were deep in thoughts…or just re-thinking their win, for Remus at least. Finally James decided to speak up.
"Ahem, uh…I'd like to go inside. Do you…statues, mind if I get through?" asked James.
Remus and Lily immediately snapped out of their world in total shock.
"Wha-"
"Huh-?"
"Oh, sorry..." blushed Lily (amazing it ain't Remus!!)
"Its ok, but, can I ask, what exactly was it that you guys were doing? I mean, Remus was standing there like the Cheshire cat! And you, you were…uh….thinking." questioned James, stuttering over the last bit, unable to think of anything better to describe Lily any bit better.
Then Sirius spoke up, "Uh, guys, I'd like an explanation, because, I really have to know why Remus just looked utterly silly, standing there, grinning like a maniac and as to why Lily is with you and why you guys didn't show up at lunch!! But, seeing as to how I want an explanation to all these questions, I suggest we go inside the common room and talk."
The girls were still thinking about what Lily was thinking of and just followed the others into the common room and settling themselves into their seats (just think the same seats they sat during the punishment).
"ok, now..EXPLAIN!!" said Sirius, using his most serious voice possible, which really had no difference in his usual voice.
"ok, ok. This is what happened. I was doing my prefect duty patrols, past the DADA room-" started Lily.
"with a cup of HOT COFFEE" interrupted Remus.
"yeah, but that's not a main fact…anyways……..Remus here, comes wandering…in a trance about MISS RAVENCLAW (wink) and ALMOST crashed into me. Then I started talking about HER…and he started blushing…and I got my cam, and started taking pics, and he started chasing me around the school-"
"TWICE! And then…she ran out of film…got all depressed-right?" smirked Remus, "and then…we stopped…and you guys found us….and now we're...HERE!!" explained Remus
"oh…doesn't seem as complicated as I thought." Soph's soft voice filled the room.
"AHHH!!" screamed Bella.
"WHAT?!" everyone, alarmed, asked back, as they jumped up in their seats.
"WE HAVE THREE FRIGGIN MORE MINUTES TO GET TO DADA!!!!" yelled Bella.
With that, everyone dashed out of the common room, down the stairs, through the corridors, crashing into people, and then-
crack the door opens
DING!!!
Everyone and half of Sirius' body is in the door.
"whew! We made it…" exclaimed Lily.
The six walked slowly to their seats and allowed the teacher to let the class begin.
A/n: SORRY!! I am so sorry for the short chapter! I wanted to update something quick, and, actually, I didn't know how'd I continue it. But I do got a new idea forming for the next chapter. So sorry…but it'll havta do!
