¤.¸¸.·´¨»«´¨·. ¸¸.¤
Early in the morning Remus escorted Kiah to her common room, but ended up sleeping next to her on the couch instead. Sirius, Marissa, James, and Lily all spent the night in the Marauder Headquarters. Remus burst down there an hour later saying the train was leaving in thirty minutes. Since Lily and Marissa were packed and Sirius and James were not, they left to go pack the boys' things (after being paid a Galleon each) while they said goodbye to their Headquarters.
"We had some good times here," Sirius said, patting the wall.
"Yeah, I'm going to miss this right here. All four of us together, Marauders forever and always," James said.
"Since you'll be getting married soon it won't be just the four of us any longer," Remus said. He saw a flicker of jealousy in Sirius' eyes, but it disappeared quickly.
They stood there for a moment longer, just looking around and reminiscing. Finally they decided to go help the girls pack for them.
As soon as they walked in the common room Lily rushed over to them. "I can't find the map," she said hurriedly.
"No problem, we'll find it," Remus said walking swiftly up the stairs. They searched out every square inch of the dorm room and didn't find it. Then they started to panic.
"Where is it? I know we had it last night!" Sirius said in a voice higher than usually, ripping apart his bed.
"Maybe we just dropped it last night. Yeah, we'll go retrace our steps," James said.
"We only have fifteen minutes!" Peter squeaked.
So the boys rushed around the castle, searching everywhere that it would be. They came upon a dark hallway leading to the now sealed up headquarters when they heard a voice.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here my pet?" All four of the boys gulped. Filch.
Mrs. Norris meowed. "Well I think I'll just take this back to my office. Seems strange to find such a carefully folded large piece of parchment. Come, my sweet."
The Marauders decked back to the tower and up to the dormitories where they collapsed on their beds. "Did you find it?" Marissa asked anxiously.
"Nooooo," moaned Remus, burying his head in his pillow.
"We'll never see her again! There is no time to get her back!" Sirius said, banging his head against the wall.
"What happened?" Lily asked, sitting on the bed James was lying in.
"Filch found it. He was curious about it. We know it was blank, but he took it back to his office. We would be able to get it back if we had more time! But the train is leaving in," James consulted his watch and yelped. "Five minutes!"
The boys and girls scurried about getting all their stuff ready, the boys moaning the whole time about losing the map. They ran to the entrance hall, magically toting their trunks behind them. They met Kiah in the entrance hall, tapping her foot impatiently. They told her about the situation and she tried to console them, but they were too depressed to hear it.
"Well it will be the last time we'll here as young care-free adolescent kids," James said, lacing his fingers through Lily's.
"Shame isn't it? For the rest of our lives we'll be worrying about bills and jobs," Sirius said. They looked around one last time and then ran for the train like there was no tomorrow.
They found a compartment at the end of the train and they shoved their way in. Since they were no longer small eleven year olds, it was a little hard to fit in there. Lily and Marissa had to sit in their boyfriend's laps, which they didn't mind at all, and Kiah and Petula had to be squished to their boyfriend's sides. Eventually Peter and Petula decided they would go sit with some one else and the remaining couples had much more room to spread out.
The train began to move and Lily looked at the castle one last time. "Goodbye Hogwarts," she whispered, tears slipping down her face. Kiah and Marissa were also crying and the boys looked crestfallen.
"We'll see it again," Remus said reassuringly, hugging Kiah to his chest.
"Guys! We have to do the big prank!" James said suddenly.
They boys gasped and each said a different incantation. The train was filled with exploding sounds and then there was crying everywhere. And not just normal crying. Baby crying.
The six friends burst out into the hallway to see little babies crawling all over the hallway. People from other years laughed at the little kids crawling around.
"What did you do?" Lily asked.
"We turned all the seventh years, besides us, into babies! And the best part is they won't know that anything happened to them when they change back in an hour," Remus said.
"I want to see what Snape looks like!" James said, bouncing up and down.
"Aww, wait!" Lily said, scooping up a little baby who was sucking his thumb and saying mama over and over again. He had black hair and big grey eyes. He was wearing a blue onesie and had a yellow blanket that he was pulling behind him. Lily smiled at him and said, "It's ok, stop crying." The little baby smiled and cuddled up to her.
"I wonder who that is," Marissa said, putting her hand on his head.
Lily pulled him away from her body and everyone crowded around, studying him. The Sirius gasped. "It's Snape!"
"No way! This baby is cute!" James said. But they all saw the resemblance.
Lily frowned and put him down quickly. "Let's go back to the compartment."
Snape looked scared as Lily walked away. "Mama! Mama!" he said, tears filling his eyes. He started crying.
Lily groaned. She couldn't just let a baby be by himself. She saw a fourth year and called her over. "Can you put him to sleep or something?" Lily asked, picking up Snape who wrapped his tiny arms around her neck.
"Sure!" the girl said brightly and pulled him off of Lily.
"Thanks," Lily said as she walked back to the compartment.
"Man, that girl is going to get a huge surprise in an hour when he changes into Snape," Kiah said.
They all laughed and headed to the compartment. They talked for the next hour, until the heard a series of loud pops as everyone changed back into themselves. Then they heard a scream. The friends ran out into the hallway again.
The fourth year was pushing Snape out of her compartment. "EW! GET OUT NOW!" she screamed, slamming the door shut. Snape looked very confused at the situation. The couples broke into a fit of giggles and hurried back inside their compartment. After a while the 7th years learned what happened and Remus had to seal the door so no one could come barging in again threatening the Marauders with various hexes.
All of the couples were very tired, so they spent the rest of the train ride sleeping. Sirius and Marissa had their own seat so they spread out and laid down on it. Remus and Kiah cuddled up by the door and Lily and James rested on the window.
To their misfortune, Snape looked in the compartment and saw them sleeping, glaring heavily at Lily and James, who were wrapped around each other. He grinned evilly and unlocked the door with his wand, thinking of a good spell. But something else came to his mind. He pocketed his wand and then took Lily's engagement ring off her finger. He looked at the other couples and took off both Sirius and Marissa's promise rings and Kiah's silver locket. Snape pocketed the items and walked back to his compartment, whistling all the way.
Kiah awoke first and carefully stretched, then rested her head back on Remus' chest. He subconsciously pulled her closer to him. Kiah smiled and subconsciously put her hand to her locket. But it was gone. Kiah sat straight up and checked all the seats and the folds of her clothes.
Remus felt her move and slowly opened his eyes. "Whatcha doin'?" he asked sleepily.
"Remus my locket is gone!" Kiah said panicking.
"What?" Remus was fully awake now and started searching.
Kiah paused for a moment, thinking, and looked over at Lily, seeing her engagement ring was missing. "Remus Lily is missing her ring!" Kiah said anxiously.
"Oh no," Remus said. He looked over at Sirius and Marissa and saw their promise rings were missing. "Look at Marissa and Sirius' hands."
Kiah gasped and started waking everyone up. "What is it? I was having a good dream," Lily said, rubbing her eyes. She looked down at her hand and gasped. "Oh my gosh, where is it?" Lily said, standing up and searching the cushions.
"That's the thing. Lily's engagement ring is missing, Kiah's locket is missing, and Sirius and Marissa's promise rings are missing," Remus said.
Sirius and Marissa looked at their hands and gasped. "This cant be coincidence," Sirius said, grabbing Marissa's hand.
James frowned. "Snape," he uttered. They all looked at each other and leapt up, Lily taking an angry lead. She found Snape's compartment and burst in.
Snape looked up. "What do you want?" he asked slimily.
"Give me back my ring!" Lily yelled.
"What ring?" Snape said, almost too innocently.
"Waddiwasi!" Lily yelled, not even pulling out her wand. Snape was thrown backwards against the window, leaving a crack in it.
James stood up and looked at window, making it repair by itself. Sirius, Marissa, Remus, and Kiah watched in disbelief. James then took Lily's hand and at the same time they both said, "Accio jewelry!" The silver locket, engagement ring, and promise rings all flew out into Lily's outstretched hand.
James burning eyes looked deep into Snape's. Snape gasped and grasped his head in pain. James kept eye contact with him, his iris' turning into fiery flames. Snape's arm caught fire and James blinked, making his eye color return to normal. Everyone stared at him in disbelief.
"This best be the last time I see your ugly face, or I will do much worse. Don't ever come near me or Lily or my friends ever again. If you do, you will regret it for the rest of your life. Got it?" James asked.
Snape just sneered, pulling out his wand and making water shoot out of it, smothering the fire. James took this as a yes and wrapped an arm around Lily's waist, leading her out of the compartment. "Wait…hold on, what the hell happened in there?" Sirius said, running a hand through his hair.
"How—how did you guys do that?" Remus asked in disbelief.
Lily and James looked at each other and shrugged. "I'm not sure, we just did it," Lily said.
"Snape's bloody arm was on fire, James!" Sirius burst out suddenly. "That's not just coincidental!" James just looked at his best friend and shrugged, wishing they would all drop the subject. "Damn…I'm never going to forget the look on his face when you pulled that on him!"
They talked about it for a little while longer, and then the loud speaker announced, "We will be arriving at Platform 9 and ¾ shortly. Please change into muggle clothing. Also note that only sixth years and Hogwarts graduates are allowed to do magic outside of school. Thank you and enjoy your holiday!"
The girls found an empty apartment to change into while the boys stayed there, already dressed in muggle clothing. Remus looked at them and said, "I'm going to do a repeat of last year, but, I was wondering," Remus trailed off, taking a deep breath.
"What is it?" James asked.
"Well, I was thinking about asking Kiah to marry me on Valentine's Day," Remus said cautiously.
There was a stunned silence for a while. "Really?" Sirius asked.
Remus nodded. "What do you think?"
"I think it's brilliant! She'll say yes for sure!" James said.
Remus grinned, then turned to Sirius. "I don't know why all you guys choose to get married right after school, but I totally approve of it!" Sirius said, grinning.
Remus let out a sigh of relief and gave a small smile. "I could use your help James. I know how I'm going to do it, but I don't know where to find a ring or what kind or anything."
"No problem. How are you going to do it?" James asked.
Remus described it and James grinned. "That sounds great!" James said enthusiastically.
Sirius listened in on the conversation, feeling slightly left out which was a new feeling for him, and when there was a pause he asked timidly, "Do you think I should ask Marissa?"
They all whipped their heads around to Sirius. "Seriously?" Remus asked.
"Yeah. I mean not as soon as Valentines Day," Sirius said nervously, starting to sweat, "but like next year sometime. I really do love her and I get the same mushy gushy feelings James talks about when I'm around her."
"Wait, seriously? I mean not that I don't support this decision, but I thought you were terrified of commitment," James said questionably, as if he was waiting for Sirius to say, "Ha Ha! You fell for it!"
"Seriously. I think I'm going to do it," Sirius said.
James and Remus smiled. "Of course you should! Maybe on her birthday or something," Remus said thoughtfully.
They had to stop the conversation though, for the girls had just walked back in. They talked a few minutes longer until the train slowed to a stop. They got their trunks and walked off the train. Lily gave Sirius and Remus a hug. "Bye guys. Even though I will probably see you tomorrow, but still I'm going to miss you until then!" she said.
They both laughed. "I'm going to miss you so much!" Sirius said, fake crying and giving her another hug. Lily laughed and gave Marissa and Kiah a hug, saying they could pop over anytime they want.
Sirius turned to Marissa and wrapped her in his arms. "Can you come over tomorrow?" he asked hopefully.
She nodded. "Kiah and I will pop over sometime tomorrow and visit." Kiah and Marissa were sharing an apartment and Sirius and Remus were sharing a flat that James would move into when the summer was over.
Sirius kissed her. "I'm still going to miss you."
Marissa played with the ends of his hair; giving Sirius chills and making him want to melt into her. "Me too. Maybe I'll even come over tonight." Mara said, grinning slyly.
"That sounds good to me," Sirius said. He gave her one last kiss and another hug. He smiled and with a pop he was gone. Marissa sighed and Apparated to her new home.
Remus and Kiah were going through the same ordeal. They were hugging, each wishing they could stay like this forever. "I'll come over tonight. Or you can come to my place," Kiah said.
Remus nodded. "I'd better go." But he made no move to Apparate. He just stayed there. Remus saw Sirius disappear and decided he had better go too. He kissed Kiah on her forehead and then Apparated to his new flat.
Lily and James were having no goodbye problems. They just grinned and Apparated to Lily's house, both of them winding up in her room.
"Mum! Dad!" Lily called. There was no answer. "I guess they're not home," Lily said, smiling at James.
"Really? Well how are we going to entertain ourselves without them here?" asked James, wrapping his arms around Lily's waist.
"Plan the wedding!" Lily said happily and went to open her trunk.
James groaned. "I was thinking something else, but whatever." He sullenly sat down on the bed as Lily pilled binders and magazines and invitation samples on his lap.
Meanwhile, Remus and Sirius were unpacking all their things in their rooms. Sirius and Remus had made a list of all the things they needed and sent it, along with money, to Sirius' mum so she could buy and decorate the newly acquired flat.
"Remus have you seen Cuddles?" Sirius asked, searching though the piles of clothes he had dumped on the bed.
Remus sighed. "No, Sirius, I haven't." Cuddles was Sirius' stuffed worn down baby lamb. He had had it with him since he was three and wasn't about to get rid of it.
"You don't think I left it there do you?" Sirius asked in a panicky voice.
"Doubt it," Remus called, setting up framed pictures around the room.
"Help me! I can't find it any where!"
Remus sighed and held up his wand. "Accio Cuddles!" A little gray lamb with a missing ear flew into Remus' hand. "You must've forgotten you were a wizard," Remus said sarcastically.
Sirius walked into the room and yanked Cuddles away from him. "Oh ha ha ha, very funny. I'm laughing it up."
"I thought it was funny. At least I don't have to sleep with a widdle lamby wamby!"
Sirius sent a hex his way but Remus dodged it. "Wow, I guess I did remember that I was a wizard!" Sirius replied sarcastically.
Across town Kiah and Marissa were encountering similar problems. "I can't find my mood ring you gave me!" Kiah said, searching through her jewelry box.
"Well I can't find Fuzzy. You don't think I left him there?" Marissa asked worriedly. Fuzzy was Mara's little brown teddy bear. Like Sirius, she had had him since she was three and couldn't sleep without him. A match made in heaven.
"No you didn't, I saw you pack him. I can't find my headache relief potion either!" Kiah said, dumping out everything in her trunk on her bed.
"Where is he?" whined Marissa. They heard a pop and saw Lily coming into the room that Kiah and Marissa shared with a bag.
"In my trunk I found Rissa's wand earrings, some potions, Kiah's mood ring, and Fuzzy," Lily said, dropping the bag on the floor between the two beds. "Now I need to go deliver some things to Bri and Dani."
"You sure you want to go over there? Bri has acted very cold towards you lately," Mara said.
"I think I know why. She has been trying to flirt with James quite a lot. James told me about it," Lily said, sighing heavily and flopping on the bed.
"Maybe we should go with you and talk about it," Kiah said. Lily nodded and stood. The three girls Apparated to Bri and Dani's apartment.
"Brielle? Danielle? It's Rissa!" Marissa called.
Danielle poked her head out of the kitchen and smiled. "Hey! We'll be out in a minute."
The two girls came out of the kitchen, Brielle's face darkening when she saw Lily. "What is it?" Bri snapped.
Lily took a deep breath and stepped forward. "James told me you were flirting with him," Lily said straightforward.
Bri shrugged. "Yeah, so?"
Lily glared at her, she could feel her temperature rising. "What do you mean so?"
"So what's the big deal?" Bri said slowly, as if Lily was an ape that couldn't comprehend English.
Lily flushed red. Kiah and Marissa took a step back. They knew she was going to explode soon. "The big deal is he's my fiancé."
"That doesn't mean you own him."
"Actually it means that you cannot try to pick up on him."
"Whatever. Listen you were never invited over. Why don't you just leave and save yourself some embarrassment," Bri said with an arrogant wave of her hand.
"Don't you dare tell me what to do!"
"I can do whatever the hell I please. Leave!"
"No! Not until you understand that James is mine, not yours, mine. He would never even pick you over me because you're a slut. He saw what you did to Remus. We both saw! He would never go out with such a two timing whore."
Brielle's face turned an angry red. "What did you just call me?"
Lily grinned triumphantly. She knew she hit a nerve. " I called you a two timing whore."
"That's it!" Brielle said, punching Lily in the nose. Lily stumbled back a few inches. Both Marissa and Kiah gasped. Lily put a hand to her nose; wincing and feeling blood come out. Lily pounced on Bri. The two began a vicious fight, pulling each other's hair, punching and kicking and pinching everywhere they could.
"We've got to get help!" Kiah said desperately. She looked down at her locket and Marissa looked down at her promise ring. At the same time Kiah opened her locket and Marissa pushed on the three diamonds in her ring.
At the flat, Remus heard a sweet song and knew immediately Kiah was at Brielle and Danielle's apartment. Sirius yelped as his promise ring grew hot and he knew exactly where Marissa was.
"What is it?" James asked. He, like Lily, went over there to drop off some things.
"Marissa pushed her ring," Sirius said urgently.
"Kiah opened her locket. They're at Brielle and Danielle's apartment," Remus said.
"I'll go with you," James said as all three of them Apparated to the scene of the chaos.
When they arrived they saw Kiah and Marissa trying to pull Bri and Lily apart, and Dani was cowering in a corner. Bri was on top of Lily, pulling her hair. Then Lily kicked her in the shin and Bri collapsed. Lily took this opportunity and rolled on top of Bri, pinning her down and kneeing her hard in the stomach. Bri groaned and she clawed Lily's ear with her carefully manicured hand, causing a rip in the flesh.
James, Remus, and Sirius jumped in quickly, James and Remus pulling Lily off Bri and Sirius scooping Bri up by the arm. Lily and Bri were both trying to lunge for each other. Marissa and Kiah had to help Sirius hold Bri back.
"What happened?" James said urgently, pulling Lily further away from Bri.
"She was trying to steal you from me!" Lily screamed, trying to kick Remus so she could get away.
"You're just scared that I could take him away from you!" Bri screamed back. Lily broke free and lunged at Bri. They fought some more, everyone in the room, with the exception of Dani, trying to pull them apart. Both girls momentarily forgot they were witches.
"We're not friends any more! I don't even know how I was your friend in the first place! I just can't believe how selfish and uncaring you are!" Lily screamed.
"Oh thank God you said that! You want to know something? I have never liked you ever. I'm just glad that I don't have to be a part of your damn wedding!" Brielle screamed back.
"That's perfectly fine with me!" Lily said.
Lily gave one last look at the two of them, then Apparated back to her room. She threw herself on the bed and cried into her pillow.
The rest of them Apparated back to the flat. "We should go talk to her," Kiah said.
"No, I'll do it. We'll see you guys tomorrow," James said. He Apparated to Lily's bedroom and found her crying in her pillow. James silently walked over to the bed and kissed the top of her head. Lily hiccupped.
James lay down next to her and wrapped his arms around her waist, resting his chin on the top of her head. "I'm sorry. It has to be hard loosing two of your friends."
Lily turned to face him, her eyes red and puffy, one of them bruised, and her nose swollen. To James, she still looked beautiful. "I don't care about them. I was never really friends with them. We just shared the same dorm room."
James wiped the tears off her face. "Then why are you upset?"
"Would you ever leave me for some one else?" she asked bluntly.
James felt hurt by this comment and looked deep into her eyes. "I would never, ever leave you. There is no one else in the whole world that could compare to you, ever. I love you more than anything and I would die for you."
Lily buried her head in his shoulder. James pulled her close to him. "I love you so, so much."
"I love you back."
¤.¸¸.·´¨»«´¨·. ¸¸.¤
Lily recovered from the incident and after having dinner with Rob and Jen (she healed her bruises from the fight so Rob and Jen wouldn't ask a million questions), the four of them started doing some heavy duty wedding planning. Well, at least Jen and Lily did. James was telling Rob about wizard's chess. Rob immediately wanted to play so James Summoned the chessboard and set everything up.
"Brilliant!" Rob said, chuckling as the queen knocked a pawn off the board. After they finished chess, James taught Rob how to play Exploding Snap. Lily, who was absorbed in wedding dresses, heard this and looked up.
"James, I don't want you to kill my father," Lily said sternly.
James laughed. "Don't worry, the worst damage he'll get is third degree burns." Lily just rolled her eyes and Summoned the phone in case they were in need of a hospital visit. A few moments later Marissa popped in the room, startling Rob and causing the cards to explode, singing his hands.
'"Bloody hell!" Rob said delightfully, chuckling at his slightly smoking cards. Marissa smiled and shook her head, sitting down to help with the wedding plans.
"What's new?" Mara asked.
Lily sighed. "Well, I have narrowed my wedding dress choices down to fifteen."
"Well that's better than the forty seven you did have," Mara said helpfully. She picked up the cut outs and looked them over, trying to imagine Lily in each. "Why don't you ask James to help? I like all of them but this one, it's too frilly."
"James can't help, he's not allowed to see the dress. But you really don't like this one?" Lily asked.
"I don't either. Or these two," Jen said, plucking away two others.
"Well now I'm down to twelve," Lily said, sighing heavily. Kiah popped in next, once again causing Rob to make the cards explode.
"This is fun!" Rob said. "We should build a card house!"
"Yeah!" James said and like little schoolboys, they carefully began building.
Kiah helped with the wedding dresses and they had it narrowed down to two. Lily studied both of them. One was an off the shoulder white dress that was tight around her torso and fanned out into a bell shape. The torso had a complicated stitching design with beads on it. The veil had a train that was five feet long.
The other one had long sleeves that started at the shoulders and went halfway over her hand. The torso was also tight but it had no design on it, it just sparkled in the light. The bottom half loosened a little and twisted around near her ankles, making a large white circle. The veil went to her ankles.
"Oh I just don't know! I like some qualities of this one but others of this one. I like the whole long sleeves thing, but I like the bell shape, without the stitching design because I like the sparkles better. I also like the short veil! This is just too difficult!" Lily said hopelessly.
"Do you need my help?" James asked, carefully setting a card on top of the bottom row of cards.
"You can't, its wedding dress business," Lily said.
"Oh well, if you insist," James murmured.
After a few more moments of debating, Lily threw down her choices. "That's it! I give up! I'm going to bed!"
Lily left in such a hurry that she bumped the table that James and Rob were playing at, causing the whole card house fall and the explode. James rubbed the soot off his glasses and said, "Damn, we were almost there too."
Marissa laughed and stood up. "Well I'm dead tired, see you all tomorrow."
"I'll go with you. Oh Jen, I found a cute little bridal shop in Hogsmeade. Maybe we should all go there tomorrow," Kiah said.
Jen smiled. "That will be perfect! Goodnight!" Marissa and Kiah waved goodbye and disappeared with a pop. Jen then had to drag Rob and James away from the table, Rob pleading "Just one more game!"
James went to his room, changed, brushed his teeth, and tried desperately to lay his hair flat. "It's much cuter when it's all messy," a sweet voice said from the doorway.
James turned to see Lily standing in white pajama pants and James' Beatles t-shirt that he had been looking for. Lily wrapped her arms around his chest and James wrapped his around her waist.
"You know, if your dad walked in here right now I would be thrown out the window," James said, lightly kissing Lily.
"Well knowing him he'll be checking in on us to make sure we're alone," Lily said slyly. James yelped and tried to push her out of the door. Lily giggled and said, "I'm just kidding! He's probably in a coma right about now."
James gave her a mean look and climbed into the single bed. "Convenient how my room is the only one in the house that has a single bed in it," James thought aloud.
Lily climbed in next to him and said, "Well then we'll try our best to fit in here."
Since it was a little past one in the morning, they both fell asleep quickly, listening to one another's heartbeats and dreaming about what the future would bring.
¤.¸¸.·´¨»«´¨·. ¸¸.¤
Jen awoke early the next morning and decided to check on Lily and James before Rob woke up and did. She knew that for the past few nights they would sneak into each other's rooms and fall asleep together.
Jen carefully padded down the hallway to Lily's room and saw that her bed was empty. Smiling to herself Jen creaked open the door to James' room, seeing James and Lily curled up next to each other, James' chin on Lily's head and Lily's hands were wrapped tightly around his neck. Jen tearfully smiled, thinking of when Rob and herself used to do the same. Sighing pleasantly, she walked down to the kitchen to get an early start on breakfast.
An hour later James slowly woke up, smelling bacon. James shifted his arm and Lily opened her eyes a crack. "Is it morning?" she asked.
James smiled and kissed her. "Uh huh, Jen is making bacon."
"Mm, your breath smells bad."
"Yours is worse."
"Thank you honey."
"You're welcome sweetie."
Lily smiled and climbed out of bed. James frowned. "Where are you going?"
"To make myself pretty for the day," Lily said simply.
"You don't need to, you're already beautiful," James said sweetly, grabbing her wrist.
"Thanks, but its not going to work. See you at breakfast!" Lily said. James groaned and slid out of bed, tripping over his blankets and falling.
¤.¸¸.·´¨»«´¨·. ¸¸.¤
"I'm bored!" Sirius said, playing thumb war with himself.
"Me too! There's nothing to do!" James whined.
"Will you two shut up? This is the good part," Remus said quietly, reading a book. The three boys were at Lily's house because Sirius and Remus were bored. Then Rob had to go to work and Lily, Marissa, Kiah, and Jen went to go pick up a few things at a bridal shop. So they were all sitting in James' room, bored out of their minds.
"Hey Sirius! Let's play truth or dare!" James said, jumping on the bed.
"Yeah! Ok you go first. Truth or dare?" Sirius said excitedly.
"Um, truth!"
"Oo, wrong choice! Ok, when we were seven did you take Mr. Wiggles from my room and throw him in the fireplace?"
"Yeah, that thing was nasty. It was missing two legs and it was brown instead of its original pink color and it smelled like old gym socks from 1935. Trust me I did that pig a favor!"
"Yeah but I miss Mr. Wiggles!"
"Oh go cry about it! Truth or dare?"
"DARE!" Sirius yelled. "Dare! Dare! Dare! Dare!" Sirius said repeatedly, jumping around the room.
"Oooooooo, I got a good one!" James sang. "Go in a muggle elevator and scare people!"
Sirius stopped bouncing and scratched his head. "How do I do that?"
Remus, more interested in the game than his book, spoke up and said, "I have a few ideas!"
¤.¸¸.·´¨»«´¨·. ¸¸.¤
Sirius Apparated to a muggle corporation and slipped inside carefully. Without the secretary looking, he jumped inside an elevator. There was no one in it, so he set up a magical camcorder in the corner, performing a vanishing spell on it.
The doors opened and a very pretty woman came on the elevator, holding a briefcase. Sirius grinned and got down on one knee. He took her hand and said, "Will you marry me?"
The woman looked shocked and as soon as the doors opened she ran out of the elevator. Sirius smiled and saw a heavyset man come on. Sirius waited until he looked the other way, then tapped his shoulder. When the man turned towards him, Sirius snapped his head away, whistling. Sirius did this to more times, causing the man to go red in the face.
When he got off three more people came on. When the doors closed Sirius got out a piece of chalk and drew a small square on the floor. He stood in it and glared at every one else, saying, "This is MY personal space!"
¤.¸¸.·´¨»«´¨·. ¸¸.¤
A small man came on the elevator and pressed the six button. Sirius slid very close to him. After a few seconds Sirius sniffed his shoulder. The man looked scared and moved a few steps to the left. Sirius followed and sniffed his hair. The doors opened on floor eight and the man hurried off.
Sirius quickly turned around so he was facing the corner. He heard two people come on. After a little bit he started humming. Then he moved his butt back and forth. He suddenly stopped, then started humming again. The people quickly left the elevator.
Sirius faced the doors again and saw a tall older woman come on. Sirius smiled graciously at her. After a few moments, he grimaced and starting hitting his forehead. "Shut up! Shut up all of you!" Sirius muttered, clutching his head and shaking it. The woman looked at him questionably but still stayed on the elevator. Sirius shook his head one last time, then stared at her. She looked at him nervously. Sirius then gasped in horror. "YOU'RE ONE OF THEM!" He screamed and started banging on the elevator doors, pressing all the buttons.

There was a large group of people on the elevator. Sirius stood in front of the doors and smiled at all of them. "Hi! I'm Sirius and I'll be going over emergency procedures with you today! Now, let's pretend the doors won't open. There is a secret emergency escape window here," Sirius pointed to a square on the ceiling, "You press and lift with your right hand. Now do it with me." A lot of people mimicked him. "Press, and lift! Press, and lift! There you go! Now in case the elevator starts dropping at a fast rate with no control as it flies downward faster and faster, don't panic! Take one of these emergency life jackets," Sirius passed a yellow inflatable life jacket to each of them, "and put it around your head. Good! Now pull the cord and it inflates!" Sirius pulled his cord and a rubber duck popped out.
"How would these help us?" a skinny guy with glasses asked.
"They won't! I just love the widdle duckies!" Sirius started talking baby talk to the ducks. When the elevator doors opened everyone ran out. Sirius smiled and waved. "I hope you enjoyed your ride! Have a nice day!"

Next, four people came on the elevator. Sirius held open the doors, smiling at all of them. When everyone was on he kept holding the doors open. Sirius began tapping his foot. Five minutes later he let the doors closed, then turned to the wall and said, "Hi Greg! How's your day been?" Sirius continued carrying on an invisible conversation. The doors opened again and Sirius said, "Bye Greg! We should do lunch sometime!"
More people came on and Sirius grinned at all of them. He took out a pen and dropped it on the floor. Everyone looked at him but Sirius was looking at the ceiling, rocking back and forth on the balls of his feet.
A blonde woman bent down to pick the pen up and Sirius screamed, "THAT'S MINE!"

A large group of people came on the elevator. When the doors closed Sirius yelled, "GROUP HUG!" and gathered everyone together, squeezing them tight. All of them scrambled away quickly.
Sirius waited stood there a few seconds longer, smiling at all of them. Then the elevator music came on and Sirius squealed. "I LOVE this song!" He grabbed an old woman's hands and started dancing around the elevator with her. The old lady giggled and started doing the jitterbug. Before she left the elevator she gave Sirius her phone number. "Call me!" she said. Sirius winked at her.
There was still three people on the elevator, all of them looking at Sirius as if he were a bomb about to go off. After a few floors Sirius got out a phone and dialed a number. "Is this the Psychic Hotline? Good, could you tell me what floor I'm on?" Sirius listened for a while. "No. No. Yes! Wait, no. No. What kind of psychic are you?"
The three people hurriedly left the elevator and a fat guy came on. Sirius turned and stared at him, wearing a goofy smile on his face. After two floors, Sirius said, "I have new socks on."

Remus, James, Lily, Marissa, Kiah, Rob, and Jen were laughing hysterically. They were all watching the tape of Sirius in the elevator, tormenting muggles.
When it finished it took them all ten minutes to catch their breath. "I can't believe you did that!" Marissa said, wiping the tears from her eyes.
"It was fun! Plus I got an old lady's phone number," Sirius grinned.

Author Notes: Lol, I love the elevator thing. The only part I didn't like in this chapter was the whole Lily and Brielle fight. Do you think I should take that out or leave it in? I haven't mentioned them in a couple of chapters and I think they popped up randomly but I wrote it anyways. I am also immensely proud of myself for thinking of a way for the Marauders to loose the map so Fred and George could "knick it from Filch's office" and give it to Harry.
xx-Heartbroken: Wow this is going to be the shortest review response to you ever! Kelly's best friend is Jessica (but she calls her Jebbie) and she signed Kelly up for American Idol after Kelly's apartment burned down in LA and no one would sign her for a record deal.
CASOCCERCHIC02: Yes it's going to get a lot sadder…so be prepared! Lol. And thank you so much for the compliment, I really hope I can be a novelist, you made my whole day! Lol.
