review.I haven't gotten any in a very long time! Please! Questions?

"Good times." James sighed.
"Yup." Lily agreed. After they finished looking at the scrapbook, James cleared his throat to make an announcement.
"I'm sad to inform you that I, James Potter, am this year's head boy." Gasps were heard throughout the compartment, but only one was real-Lily's.
"Uh.James, you don't happen to know who the head girl is, do you?"
"No." Lily paused after that.
"Well who is it, then?" James asked, curious.
"Me." James let out a great laugh and then grabbed Lily and proceeded to waltz with her around the compartment.
"You know what this means, don't you Lily?"
'Oh, God,' Lily thought, 'He's dancing with me! He's dancing with me!' But Lily collected herself and said,
"No."
"Let me quote you, shall I, "BREAK THE RULES THEY MAKE!" By that time, James has stopped dancing and was holding Lily by the shoulders, looking at her mischievously. Lily mentally kicked herself back into reality.
"Yea!" she exclaimed. I was bright for a first year, don't you think?"
"Naw." James began, "I was smarter."
"I'm just going to let that one roll off me."
They discussed various other things-Suzie's budding romance with Frank Longbottom namely. The discussion seemed to end with Suzy leaving to go get Frank who joined them in a game of "Bet you can't". In what seemed like a second, they were pulling into Hogsmeade Station, in the carriages, watching the sorting, eating, and climbing the stairs to Gryffindor Tower. Lily showed the excited first years to their dorm while James told them stories of the violent spirits that reside in the Shrieking Shack. Finally the 10 friends sat down in the common room.
"So." Lily started. "When do you all want to do the handprints?"
"Tomorrow." Cooper said, "It's Saturday tomorrow."
"Yes, that's right." Lily answered, "I'm so out of it lately." James laughed as she purposely banged her head against a table holding a vase. This caused the vase to fall and Serena to dive to catch it.
"AAAHH!!" Lily jumped up in frustration, but as she was jumping up and down, she tripped and lost her balance causing her to fall straight on her bottom.
"Could I get any klutzier?!" She asked, looking up at the ceiling. Just as James opened his mouth, she pointed her finger in his direction massaging her temple with the other and said, "Don't answer that."

The next day, everyone trooped up to the girl's dorm to put the final set of handprints on the wall.
This year the color was blue. After they made the prints on the wall, it was time to take the picture.
"Damn." Lily cursed, "I forgot to get out the camera. for the 7th damn year! Couldn't one of you have reminded me? You all know how forgetful I am!"
"Quit whining, Lily. I'll get the camera."
"Okay." Lily said happily as James made his way toward her trunk.
"That's so nice of you." Lily complimented.
"No, it's not." Sirius said, "All he wants to do is see your bra size."
"Ha. Ha. Ha. .Sure Sirius." James laughed. He was busy doing something else.something concerning Lily's favourite pair of pyjamas.
"Ah, ha!" He exclaimed, "Got it!" James quickly set it up and put on the timer. Lily drew the classic beard on James, and James drew a handsome moustache on Lily. 5.4.3.2.1.. * Flash *!
The rest of the day, was spent in many different ways by each different member of their group. (A.N. They are not called the "Marauders" Think about it: The Marauder explorer's map. They aren't the marauders, the map is used by marauders.)
But Lily and James chose to spend the day playing "I bet you can't". Bad choice. By the end of the day, Lily had done everything James asked and visa versa. This was bad because at this very moment they are sitting in Professor McGonagall's office.
"I can't believe it! I don't want to believe it!" McGonagall said, raising her voice with each word.
"Lily-tripping poor Professor Kettleburn when he only has one leg! And James, you are not.as Miss Evans so.indelicately put it, a man whore. So I suggest you both clean that off the wall in the Great Hall. But before you start the damage control, tell me, what inspired the two of you to do these things?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"Uhh. It's a game, Professor." Lily answered
"A game? Tell me all about it." She ordered.
"James," Lily said, "You can do the honours."
"Sure. Well, Professor," James said flirtatiously, flashing her a smile to rival Alexander the Great's. In Lily's opinion, though, nothing could rival James's smile.except maybe his elfish ears.
"It's called 'I bet you can't'. I'm sure that tells you a lot already. All you do is challenge someone and they do what you say or they have to do the week's 'I can't'."
"I see." Professor McGonagall said, "From this day forth, the game "I bet you can't" is banned from Hogwarts School. Clean up the slanders about James and you both may go back to the tower. Good day."
From there, Lily and James made their way to the Great Hall where they began scrubbing "James Potter is a man whore" off the wall in back of the staff table.
"Ha!" Lily laughed, "McGonagall let us off easy this time!"
"What are you talking about?" James replied, upset, "We can't play "I bet you can't" at Hogwarts anymore!"
"Well," Lily replied, "You're right about that, but we can play "Or face the consequence."" She smiled mischievously.
"Hmmm." James said dramatically, "I like it! You're really clever Lily, you know that?"
"I know, I know."
"Good times." James sighed.
"Yup." Lily agreed. After they finished looking at the scrapbook, James cleared his throat to make an announcement.
