-:HAVING FUN:-
"Damn it! Someone stole my wand!"
"Mine too!"
"But who?"
"Slytherins?"
"Nah. They're not the 'pranker' kind of people they are the 'prankees'"
"Is that even a word?"
"Yes"
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
"Is not!"
"You're no fun, Reemy!" said Sirius pouting
"Whatever! Let's just get to class"
"What's the bet that the girls saved us seats?"
"None" said Remus miserably "Rosiette's probably too embarrassed and Lily and Celina doesn't exactly like us - I mean - you two"
"They do too!"
"I don't have time for this! We're 10 minutes late!"
The Marauders ran to their first class, Potions, Sirius and Remus arguing all the way.
"What's the bet that they're still running?" laughed Celina
"None" said Lily, pointing at the door "look"
She pointed at the doorway where they saw the Marauders walking in, Remus sheepishly, James and Sirius proudly.
"Oh no!" Rosiette squeaked.
"Come on, Rosi! Get a grip! He's just a guy!" Celina gave Rosiette a little push
"I know but it's still embarrassing the way you yelled it!" She pushed back
"I most certainly did not!"
"You most certainly did!"
"Not!"
"Did! Did too!"
"Hm-hm" a voice coughed
Celina and Rosiette looked up and saw a very stern looking Professor Snotbottle.
"Do you two girls mind telling me what I just said?" asked Snotbottle.
"Um, well." started Rosi
"The properties of bezoars?" said Celina hoping that she was right
"That was 5 minutes ago, Miss Grey"
"The properties of dragon's stone," said Lily
"I wasn't asking you, Miss Evans"
"You know her Professor, she can't contain herself, she loves to answer questions in class, don't you Lily?" asked Remus nervously nudging Lily.
"5 points from Gryffindor for not paying attention, 5 points from Gryffindor for being late and yet another 5 points from Gryffindor for being cheeky"
"What?" whispered Lily sharply
"Do you want to say anything Miss Evans?"
"No sir"
"Good, then shut up and listen"
After a half an hour that seemed like an eternity to everyone, the class ended, the Marauders and the girls ran out to Transfiguration.
"Finally! The end of the first day of school! Now to plan the pranks," said Sirius jumping up joyfully after their last class, Charms.
"Remember, we have homeworks to do!" Remus said sternly.
"You guys go first. I need to do something first" said James
"Alright then" said Remus dragging Sirius to the common room.
James walked over to Lily.
"Lily?" asked James
"Yeah?" said Lily
"Well, uh...do…you…erm" stammered James
Rosiette and Celina looked at each other. They both knew that James wanted to be alone with Lily but they also knew that Lily doesn't want to be alone with James. They decided to let James ask Lily his question properly so…
"Lily, we'll be in the common room studying," said Rosiette, dragging Celina away.
"But our exams isn't until...until forever!" protested Celina, but followed nonetheless.
"Good idea, now we can spy on them without them knowing!" whispered Celina enthusiastically when they were out of the classroom.
"No, when I say 'study' I mean 'study'. Now be a good girl and follow me," said Rosiette firmly
"Lily?" James asked again.
"Hm?" Lily answered.
"Wangothogsmedwime?"
"What did you say?"
"Umm.. Do you want to go to Hogsmeade with me?"
Dumbledore had arranged a trip to Hogsmeade for the students on the first weekend of school so that they could get anything they forgot for classes.
"Well…I'll think about it. "
"Kay, see you then," replied James
"Yeah, um, see you" she said, watching James walk out the classroom.
Lily had expected him to say something like "please please please! It's just a dance!" She was surprised that he was so calm with her not saying yes or no straightaway.
"James is getting more mature this year, I mean he hasn't played any pranks or tricked anybody…yet," she thought "well, coz it's only the first day… But maybe I'll give him only one more chance, just one more. If he blows it then bye- bye ."
Lily walked back to her room in deep thought
That night, Lily decided she wanted to have a cup of hot chocolate in the kitchens, even though she knew it was against the rules for any student to be out of beds so late. If the teachers caught her, she'd be in big trouble but she decided she wanted to take the risk.
