Chapter Sixteen
DC: I don't own Harry Potter
And so the Marauders did sleep in. Lily was up first this time, and had fun coloring as she waited for the boys to wake up. She drew a picture of what it was like outside. It was still sort of dark, so it was mostly a big blob of black.
But after a few more coloring blobs of black, Remus woke up. It was nearing six o'clock. "Well…" He said. "I guess…I didn't sleep in."
"'Morning Uncle Remie!" Lily said, setting down her coloring supplies.
"What are you doing so early, Lily?" Remus asked.
"I don't know." Lily said, hoping off the chair, and standing next to him.
"Well…" Remus took a step, and Lily followed him. "I'm going to use the bathroom…"
"Can I come?" Lily asked.
"No…"
Remus left her standing in the middle of the room. Lily shrugged, and went to Sirius's hangings. He was sleeping, making little snoring sounds. She giggled, and climbed on his bed. Remember now Sirius doesn't wake up for anything.
She sat on his legs, and looked around his bed. It was nothing special, still the same color she had made Remus make weeks before. After a few moments of looking around, she dipped under the covers and crawled down to where his feet were.
Lily poked his feet. They shifted around, and she poked them again. Getting nowhere, she threw off the covers. Sirius didn't wake up still. She looked at his face. He had a slight smile on it.
Lily had the sudden idea to do his hair. She had some extra little hair ties, and decided to go get it. She left his bed, went to her trunk and grabbed the bands. She then went back and pulled all of Sirius's hair into a ponytail, then left.
When she shut Sirius's hangings, there was a knock on the door. Neither Sirius nor James woke up. Remus was in the shower, so Lily opened the door.
There stood McGonagall.
"Hello Lily." McGonagall took a look inside the room. "Are you all alone?"
"Nope, Grandma." Lily said. "Everyone is aseep, and Uncle Remie is in the shower. I can get them up, if you want me too."
"That would be nice." McGonagall said. She thought it just might be a little amusing.
Lily giggled, and ran to James's bed. She pulled open the hangings and proceeded to climb on his bed. She stood up, McGonagall carefully watching, and jumped. She didn't land on her feet, but on her butt, and James rolled off his bed.
James hit the ground, and woke up with a start. He sat up on his knees, and grabbed his glasses. He looked first at Lily, who giggled, and pointed to the door. James gave her a glare, then turned to the door. He jumped a little, and grabbed his pillow to cover his chest. He was only in shorts.
She then went to Sirius's bed. She opened his hangings, and went to his head. She opened one eye, and blew on it. Sirius shook his head, violently, and chased Lily out of his bed corner.
Sirius first saw James sitting on the floor cross-legged, and then saw McGonagall at the door. He waved to her, like nothing happened with Lily, and then sat down next to James. James gave him a weird look.
"What?" He asked.
"Your hair, Mr. Black." McGonagall said, with a slight smile on her face.
Sirius felt the bow, and quickly pulled it out. He laughed nervously, and then gave Lily a glare.
But Lily was already heading over to the bathroom door. She knew of only one way to get someone out of the shower. She silently went into the bathroom, and flushed the toilet.
Lily ran out, shutting the door behind her, and everyone heard a scream.
Remus came out seconds later, with a towel wrapped around his waist. He felt supremely embarrassed when he saw McGonagall, and went back inside to change.
The boys sat in front of James's bed, including Remus who came out a few moments later, and Lily sat on his bed behind them.
"Thank you Lily." McGonagall said. "That surly made my day."
"Your welcome Grandma!" Lily said cheerfully.
"Well, your room is certainly…colorful." McGonagall commented. It was hard to describe the room. The walls were pink, the ceiling was red, the carpet was green, and on the walls, in black writing, was, 'Lily's Tower'. Also, in littler writing below it, was, 'Like Gryffindor Tower only better, because there are only four people.' "And your beds are just so…"
"It's okay, Pro—Mum…we know…" James said.
"Yes well, I've come to give you something. Since today there are no… holiday's, you are to take a test."
"Really?" Sirius asked. "What kind?"
"A Parent evaluation test." McGonagall said. "You must have learned something while taking care of Lily."
"Okay…so where is it?" Remus asked.
McGonagall pulled out her wand, and gave it a flick. A piece of parchment, with writing on it, fell onto the boys' lap. "There you are. Give them to me by breakfast, and I'll mail them out then."
She then left.
James pulled out the table, and the three of them sat down. Lily sat next to them, with her coloring things, and colored.
Some of the questions were:
What would you do if your child were drowning?
What would you do if your child were choking?
How many times have you relayed information wrongly?
If your child were bad, how would you discipline them?
If your child ever asks you about anything, will you lie? Or will you tell the truth?
What age will you let your child, if or you are going to have one, stay at home alone?
How would you teach your child about the basic things in life? (Ex: How to handle fire, fire escape routes, ect.)
They basically asked what would you do if your child was drowning, sick (or choking), had bad behavior, had accidents (in many ways), got into things, started a fire, and so on and so forth.
The first to be done was Sirius, who zipped through it. Second was Remus, and James took his time.
By the time James was done, it was almost breakfast. They didn't need a clock for that one, Lily's stomach told them the time. They could hear it growling about an hour earlier.
"Alright Lily." James said, stacking the written parchments. "Slip on your sandals, and we'll go to breakfast."
"Oh it's breakfast time?" Lily asked, with a smile on her face. "Well I am a little hungry."
"Are you sure it's only a little?" Sirius asked. "I mean most the time it's like we never feed you because you're hungry so much."
Lily's smile just broadened. "Oh don't worry, Uncle Siri. I'm really hungry."
Lily grabbed her sandals, and slipped them on. James grabbed the Parent Evaluation tests, and the four of them were soon out the door. Lily was first out of the door, and first to reach the door to the Great Hall. James, Sirius, and Remus could hear her stomach from a mile away, or at least it seemed like it.
