A/N: Okay, I know I said this chapter would be about their first day at school, but I completely forgot that I meant to put this chapter in. School is next chapter I promise!
Gazette: I'm not really sure. When I was in England people I met knew what a barbeque was but they didn't recognise the Aussie slang 'barbie.' It may be different in other parts of Brittain though.
Emmelz: Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! Review again.
Stuckintexas: Thanks, I'm glad you don't think my OC's are maysues. Review again!

Chapter 5- Girl talk, Boy talk
'Erin, if you're finished shredding that letter into a million pieces, I need to tell you something.' Erin looked up. She had been busy making sure that there was no way possible that any of the guys could possibly read the owl she'd gotten from Dylan. If they found out, they'd pound him to a pulp, and that was something she wanted to do herself.
'Sure, Lily, what is it?' She threw the pieces of the letter into the trash and then joined Lily on the bed.
'Well, you know this afternoon, when we were playing cops and robbers, and I caught James?' Erin grinned.
'Yeah, that was part of the reason we won. He's too damn fast and could have freed the others really easily if he'd been free.'
'Yeah… well... when I caught him, I kinda knocked him over and… well…'
'Lily, is there a point to this story?' Lily rolled her eyes. Erin was too bloody impatient for her own good.
'Well…. I kissed him…' She trailed off and looked down at her hands.
'FINALLY!' Lily looked up, surprised at Erin's reaction.
'What do you mean 'finally'? You make it sound as if you were expecting this to happen!'
'Well of COURSE I was expecting it! He's liked you for ages!'
'What do mean he's liked me for ages? Of course he hasn't! We're ju-…wait a minute! He told you he liked me? You've been talking about me behind my back?' Her emerald green eyes flashed angrily. Erin gulped. Lily angry was a dangerous thing.
'NO! I just... ah… Sirius let it slip. On accident!' She added quickly. More for Sirius's safety then her own.
'Sirius knows too? How?' She seemed to have calmed down a bit now, but she was still looking frustrated.
'He's James' best friend. He knows him inside out. I think Remus knows too. He's really observant. I'm pretty sure Peter doesn't know though. Or Christine.'
At that moment, Christine walked in the door. Her face was blank and she seemed to be in a sort of trance. She slowly walked over and sat on the bed with Lily and Erin.
'Ah... Chris? You alright?' Erin said, waving a hand in front of her other best friends face.'
'He beat me.'
Lily and Erin exchanged confused looks.
'What?' Lily asked her, 'Who beat you?'
'Sirius Black beat me fair and square in a game of pool even though he's never played before in his life.'
Lily's jaw dropped open and Erin burst out laughing.
Once Erin got her giggles under control, she spoke.
'Well here's something to get your mind back on the real world. Lily snogged James.'
'What?' Christine seemed to come out of her trance and her eyes snapped to Lily, who was blushing deeply and staring very determinedly at her hands.
Christine squealed.
'Oh, Lily, I'm so happy for you!' She pulled Lily into a hug and then jumped up and started dancing around singing, 'Lily and James, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!' Erin jumped up and started singing as well, dancing around in a circle with Christine. Lily grinned.
'Okay, that's it! You two are going down!' She snatched up her pillow and started pounding the other two. Soon a full fledged pillow fight was under way.

'Oi! Pete, Moony, I need to tell you something. Anyone got any idea where Sirius is? This is something you all need to hear.' James said to his friends. He had just finished putting his stuff away, Remus was reading and Peter was transforming from a rat and back again every five seconds, so it was pretty obvious they had nothing serious to do. Remus raised his eyebrows at James.
'Couldn't you just tell us now and tell Sirius later?'
'Not a chance.'
'Why not?' Peter asked.
'Because I only want to say it once.'
'Come on!'
'No.'
'Tell me!'
'No.'
'Please?' He looked up at James with what he clearly thought was the puppy dog eyes look that usually got Sirius anything he wanted. James snorted.
'Only Sirius can pull that look off, Wormtail. Don't even try.'
At that moment, the door bust open revealing Sirius in a super hero pose.
'ALL BOW BEFORE PADFOOT, KING OF POOL!' Remus just rolled his eyes and went back to his book. James and Peter looked confused.
'Padfoot, What the hell are you on about?'
'I beat Chris in pool! I beat Chris in pool!' he was now dancing around, waving his hands in the air.
'What the devil is Pool?'
'Muggle game.' Remus said, not looking up from his book.
James shrugged and Peter looked even more confused.
'Anyway, now that you're here, Padfoot, I need to tell you all something.'
Peter sat up straighter, Remus closed his book and Sirius stopped bouncing around the room. They all looked at him expectantly.
'Well?' Siriussaid impatiently, 'We haven't got all day, Prongs!'
James grinned. 'Lily kissed me.' Peter fell off the bed in shock. Remus gave James a smile and said, 'Congratulations.' Sirius' jaw dropped, and then a grin quickly spread across his face.
'PRONGS SNOGGED EVANS!'
A/N: Okay short chapter, I know, but the next one will be longer, I promise. Please review.
