Sirius, James, and James' parents arrived at the Potter house. Sirius smiled as he looked up at the house he had taken to calling home so long ago. Sirius had views that differed from his parents, and the only two places he felt safe and wanted in, was Hogwarts, and here, at James' house. If you could call it a house, considering it was a three story, it was more like a mansion.
"You boys go ahead and get inside," Mr. Potter announced, "I'll bring in your luggage for you."
"Thanks Mr. P.!" Sirius said cheerfully, bounding off towards the house, James grinned and shook his head, following close behind. Once through the great oak doors, the boys exchanged grins. "It's so good to be home." Sirius said.
James smiled, he was so happy that living here meant so much to Sirius. "Yeah, me too." James agreed. "Even though our real home is at Hogwarts."
Sirius smiled and laughed and wandered into the kitchen. He brought out some crackers and opened the box, munching on them hungrily.
"So…" Sirius said in between bites. "What do you want to do?"
"I don't know," James admitted, snatching the box from Sirius and grabbing a handful of his own before handing it back.
"Well, let's list our options. We could go upstairs and decide what to do, we could go way upstairs and then decide what to do, or we could go outside to decide what to do." Sirius said, counting them off on his fingers. Just then his face lit up eagerly. "You know James…I kind of wish I had someone to hang out with. Someone with very nice facial features." Sirius said, winking.
James put on mock confusion. "But Sirius…I'm already here with you."
Sirius laughed and threw a cracker in his direction. "Not you, you prat! The girls should be at Sara's by now, so…what do you say we go on a walk?"
James looked thoughtful before nodding. "Sirius, mate, let's go get our dream girls!"
Sirius held up the box of crackers and cheered before returning them back to the cupboard. "Let's go!"
James and Sirius flew outside, nearly colliding with the Potters.
"Hey there!" Mr. Potter said, laughing. "Where are you boys so eager to get to?"
"No where dad." James lied, swerving around his dad and beckoning for Sirius to come with.
"Later Mr. P." Sirius said before following James.
The two boys began there walk to Sara's. She lived really close, for which the boys were grateful.
"Wait." James said, once they were outside Sarah's house, swinging around and holding up his hands to stop Sirius from going any further. "We're the Marauders."
"Very good." Sirius said.
"What I mean is…these girls have got us groveling. We get home and sprint here, why don't we wait a while?"
Sirius nodded. "You're right, Prongs."
"Thank-you." James said, running a hand through his hair.
"James? Sirius?" Came a surprised voice from behind them. "Is that you?"
The boys exchanged ironic glances. "Why yes it is." Sirius laughed, turning around to face Sara, her three friends behind her.
"What are you doing here?" Marlee asked carefully.
"Um…we were just on a walk when you said our names." Sirius lied.
"Uh-huh, suuure." Lily said non-believingly.
"Hey Pretty Lily Flower!" Sirius sang, "Didn't see you there!"
"We were on our way inside when we saw you guys." Lily said.
"Well, we're kind of bored…so if you girls want to hang out with us, you're welcome too." James suggested, wiggling his eyebrows.
Sara rolled her eyes and glanced at the other girls for their approval. They all eyed her back with even glances. None seemed too thrilled. "Er…sure." Sara said hesitantly.
"You don't have to if you don't want to," James said quickly. "I mean we'd like you to, it'd be fun, but you don't have to if you really don't want to." Sirius eyed James with amusement. 'Way to not grovel, Potter.' He thought to himself.
"Okay, good." Lily said. "Bye."
"C'mon guys, maybe we can just walk around the neighborhood with them or something." Marlee said hesitantly.
The other girls gave Marlee a defiant look and then glanced back at the boys with dirty looks.
"Fine." They said finally.
James and Sirius gave each other uncertain glances and the six teenagers began their walk down the winding road.
"You'd think it was a muggle neighborhood it's so quiet." Sirius said in hopes of flaring up a conversation.
Silence followed, and more silence. Sirius noticed something brush his arm and he glanced over and saw Sara standing next to him, unaware of their quick contact.
"So…" Sirius said to Sara. He draped an arm over her casually. "You're looking pretty as ever."
"Black." Sara said through gritted teeth. She ducked out from under his arm and sped up.
"Nice try, Padfoot." James said, trying very hard to suppress a smile. "Nice try."
"Sod off Prongs." Sirius said teasingly.
They walked in everlasting silence. Finally James quickened his pace to catch up with Lily who was at the front of the group, taking quick, short strides.
"Why hello Evans," James said cheekily.
There was no reply. James sucked in his breath.
"Evans, Evans, Evans, don't act so happy to see me." James said, grinning slightly.
Still no reply.
"Okay, I see you're busy doing nothing, so I'll just ask up front. Will you go out with me Evans?"
There was a reply. And an angry one at that.
Lily stopped dead in her tracks and glared and James, her eyes emitting sparks. The group members stayed back as to avoid being hit by a hex.
"No Potter, I will NOT go out with you. Not now, not ever." She said coldly, turning around and walking faster than before.
Using his long legs, James caught up to her easily.
"I though you and Joey broke up." James said carefully.
"Yeah, yeah we did." Lily said, staring determinedly ahead. "but just what makes you think I would go out with you now?" She finally averted her gaze from the road and glared up at him. "I will never go out with you Potter, so quit asking. If hanging out with us was just another ploy to ask me out again, you've wasted your time."
"Why?" James asked earnestly. "Why have I wasted my time? I know you can feel it too, Lily."
"I don't feel anything," Lily said blankly, stopping once again to look at him.
James ran a hand through his hair. "I know you do Lily. When are you going to stop denying it? There's something between us, something more than we know."
Lily's eyes widened before narrowing again. "You are an arrogant pig, Potter, if you think that making me believe their might actually be something between us, will get me to go out with you, you're wrong."
James flinched. "Whatever, Evans. You think what you want to think. I don't care anymore."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
James and Sirius were seated in James' room, talking quietly.
"Well, phase one of 'get our dream girl,' failed miserably." Sirius moaned.
"I really don't care anymore." James said defiantly. "Lily can do whatever she wants, she's too stubborn."
"Ah, but that's just one of her famous qualities that made you fall in love with her." Sirius pointed out.
"Sirius, I just want to have fun this summer, we don't need to worry about girls." James reasoned.
"Prongs, mate, I think one of the only ways to have fun this summer is if girls are in it." Sirius laughed.
James gave him an exasperated look and sighed.
"Look, Remus and Peter will be here in about a week, so let's just forget about girls until then." Sirius said finally.
"I've been trying to forget about since I was eleven." James sighed, running his hands over his face.
Sirius looked a little taken aback by his friends' honesty. "Then just do it, find someone new."
James emerged from his hands and looked at him. "It's not that east Padfoot, not when she's your dream girl."
