"James, come on.You need to get up," Sirius grunted, frustrated, then turned to Remus, who was getting dressed, "A little help here?
Remus finished pulling his shirt on, then walked to James bed.
"Prongs, get up."
James rolled over and put his pillow over his head.
"Maybe Evans can get him up." Peter suggested from the doorway, as he bent down to tie his shoe. Remus shrugged, as Sirius walked pass Peter, and down the stairs.
He walked through the common room, and began walking up the stairs to the girl's dormitories.
So, no one told you life was going to be this way.
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear.
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month
Or even your year, But..
"Evans!" He screamed, causing everyone in the common room to look over at him.
He had just gotten halfway up, when the stairs turned into a slide, and he slid down, landing on a 4th year.
"Good job, Black," Lily laughed from the top of the stairs.
Sirius laughed sarcastically, "Just get down here, Evans."
"Why?" She asked, as the slide turned back into stairs.
"Get your butt down here!"
Lily began to walk down to him, "What..do..you..want!" She asked slowly.
"You need to get James up."
"Why?" She asked.
"Because he hasn't gotten up since the funeral, and he won't listen to us."
"That was over a week ago." Lily replied.
"Thanks for the update, carrot top!"
Lily scoffed, and pushed past him. He followed her up the stairs and into the boy's dorms.
I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you
'Cause you're there for me, too.
"James?" She asked from the doorway.
When he didn't answer, she walked over to his bed, and sat down beside him.
"James, come on," Lily whispered.
He lifted the pillow off his head, "What?"
"You need to get up."
James shook his head, and put his pillow back. Lily sighed, and pulled the pillow away.
"You can not lie in bed all day."
"It's worked so far," He replied, simply.
"James come on. Get up. For me? We can talk, and get some food. You need to eat." Lily suggested.
James thought for a moment, then shrugged and pushed the covers off. As soon as he did, Lily realized he wasn't wearing anything but his boxers, and she quickly turned her head away.
James looked down, "Oh.
Sorry."
"I'll.. just wait in the Common Room," She
laughed nervously.
You're still in bed at ten, and work began at eight.
You've burned your breakfast, so far
Things are going great.
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world has brought you
Down to your knees, that..
Half an hour later, they were on their way to the Great Hall.
"So.. what do you want to talk about?" Lily asked. James shrugged his shoulders again
"Anything."
"Can I ask you something, then?"
"Sure," James replied as they turned the corner into the Great Hall. It was empty, except for a few Hufflepuffs, and a Ravenclaw.
"Why do you always pick on Severus?" She asked. They sat down at the Gryffindor table, and James shrugged as he picked up a pancake and put it down on his plate
"I don't know."
"Yes, you do," She insisted.
"I.. I was jealous of him, I guess." James laughed.
"Why?" Lily asked, taking a bite of her scrambled eggs.
"He has a crush on you, and you're always so nice to him."
"He does not," Lily snorted.
"Yeah, he does," He replied.
"Nu-uh."
"Yeah-huh."
"Did you just 'yeah-huh' my 'nu-uh'?" Lily asked, laughing.
"Yeah, I did. What are you going to do about it?" James teased.
Lily grabbed a handful of her scrambled eggs, and smashed it against the side of his head, laughing hysterically at him.
James looked at her in shock, before he smashed the remainder of his pancake in his hand and crushed it on top of her head.
"You look hilarious," He said, laughing.
"Speak for yourself," She giggled, brushing the pancake out of her hair.
I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you
'Cause you're there for me, too.
