AN/ Thank you all for the reviews. Here is the next Chapter. Hope you like it!
"No! No! Not the Meatloaf!" Sirius grumbled. Remus sighed, rolled his eyes, climbed out of bed and walked over to open the curtains like a daily routine. "WAKE UP CALL!" he shouted.
Sirius' head shot up. "It was the Queen of England, I swear!" he explained dazed. James looked up from his pillows just long enough to give Remus a rude gesture and Peter grudgingly obliged to get up.
"The Queen of England?" Remus asked slightly amused, as they headed down to breakfast. "You don't want to know." Sirius explained as he caught his flying food from Peeves. "You're no fun Black." Peeves explained as he hit a poor unsuspecting first year in the face with a plate of scrambled eggs. Sirius shrugged his shoulders. "What can I say? I'm special."
The marauders walked over and took a seat next to Lily, Jade, and Serena. The three girls had already been joined by two Slytherins.
"Hey ,Lexi, Vanessa. What a pleasure to see you here." Both girls ignored the boys' sarcastic greeting. "James you have to be in the potions dungeon by 7:00 p.m. If you're going to be late don't bother." Lily explained curtly.
"Oh that's right Jimmy has tutoring lessons today!" Alexis said with false interest. "I'm not surprised after he turned the whole class into the people sitting closest to them."
James was not sure which duo were more annoying, Alexis Rhode and Vanessa Rollins, or Severus Snape and Lucius Malfoy. They always seemed to be in competition for that title and happened to keep besting each other every day.
James thoughts were cut off as the great hall emptied with everyone leaving for classes.
"Take that you horrible ovaly-shaped spud!" Sirius yelled brandishing his knife wildly. "Sirius…?"
"Yes Jade?" "You're shouting at a potato." "And your point is…?"
"Is ovaly even a word?" Remus asked looking up from slicing his own potato. James laughed.
"Well I hope you all know that this is not just any ordinary potato." "Oh do enlighten me!" Jade exclaimed. "Well this potato is a mysterious ancient potato! And we my friends are the chosen ones to destroy this potato and break the ancient curse. All for one and one for all!" Sirius yelled throwing his knife up in the air.
"So let me get this straight." Remus explained looking truly interested though mildly amused, "This is a mix between Indiana Jones, Star Wars, and The Three Musketeers"? At that exact point in time a bell sounded signaling the end of classes for the day.
Jade, Remus, and Sirius retuned to the Gryffindor common room as James took a turn down to the potions dungeon. He pushed open the large, heavy, metal, double doors. James was shocked to find that he was not late, but he was early!
Lily pushed open the doors to the potions dungeon. She half expected James wouldn't show. She'd give him five minutes. The last thing Lily expected was for James to be standing there waiting for her. In fact she was so shocked she screamed.
"Oh! James! You're here! Okay then, let's get started." James' hand shot up in the air. "Yes?" Lily asked slightly confused. "Ms. Evans should I sit?" James indicated to the desk. To Lily's surprise she giggled. "Yes Mr. Potter take a seat." She explained in the most teacher like voice she could muster.
"Now we are going to do the body switching potion", she explained pacing the room back and forth like Professor Slughorn. James chuckled. Lily grinned and walked over to help him.
James was actually acting like a person. Maybe he changed. Maybe he isn't so bad after all. Maybe he was never so bad. Oh come on Lily of course he was bad. What did he ever do? He…he… Face it Lils you just don't know him. Of course I do and he is that bad. How would you know? You never spend any time with him. Now that you are, your starting to realize he's not that bad.
"Lily, I finished it!" Lily looked down she hadn't been paying attention. He had finished it and it looked right. "Well I'm not going to taste it!" Lily laughed. "And you think I am!" James answered also laughing.
"Well it didn't blow up so that's a plus." Lily explained seriously then she burst out laughing. "Okay you can go. Come back tomorrow at 7:00 and well be done by the end of the week!" Lily explained. Was that a hint of disappointment in her voice? Did she like spending time with James? No Way. That's Silly. Of course not.
Lily walked up to the girls dormitories. "Chocolate Frogs." The portal swung open. "So how was it!" Jade demanded as Lily entered. "It was actually okay." Lily replied truthfully. "So you think he's okay then?" Serena tried. "He's still a pompous, bullying, egotistic, toe-rag!" Lily lied.
"I think you like him." Jade stated matter-of-factly. "What! Of course not! Why would you think that!" "Lily, you may not realize it, but all you talk about is James this and James that."
"Oh I get it! So it's like all you ever talk about is Sirius!" Lily argued. "What!" Jade screeched. "I don't like Sirius!" "Oh sure you don't! You're obsessed with him!"
"Guy's cut it out!" Serena yelled. "You have nothing to say about this Serena!" Jade growled. "Yeah, we all know you like Remus!" Lily finished. "Guy's that's not fair! I don't like him! He's just really nice!" "Right. Whatever Serena"! "No really I don't!"
Suddenly Serena's face split into a wide smile. She began to laugh hysterically. Jade and Lily stared at her confused. In between laughs Serena was barley able to choke out an explanation.
"You…guys don't know…how pathetic…this seems!" Serena explained cackling.
Jade and Lily blinked. Then they too burst out laughing. "Okay..." Jade explained gasping for breath. "It's a truce. From now on none of us like any of the marauders, okay!" "They all nodded their agreement and climbed into their beds.
However all three lay awake in their beds wondering if they really did like that person.
