Disclaimer: Honestly! Who'd be dumb enough as to think that we actually
own Harry Potter?! This is pointless. . . Oh yeah, and we didn't write
the poems in here. Sploogal got them out of a 'Girlfriend' magazine.
Chapter twenty-seven
The next morning, on the way to History of Magic, the Marauders spotted Amos Diggory with his arm around Katherine Enimilae. By the time they got into class, Amos and Katherine both had little tentacles all over their faces, and each little tentacle was holding a flashing love-heart.
"You didn't have to do that you know." Stated Lily.
"Yes we did," replied James. "We were defending your honour!"
"What? Was he insulting me?"
"Not directly, but every time he does anything with Katherine, he's insulting you. It's like him saying that she's better than you or something. Oh damn! I left my History book in the dorm! I'll see you later."
"Anyway, I'm going to get them myself." Lily announced just as McGonagall came into the room.
"I have an announcement to make." She said. "The prefects have decided that the school is going to stage a play this year. The play will be Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare. Anyone interested in trying out for it should see Professor Flitwick."
She strode out of the room before any chatter had started.
"Remus! Lily! Why didn't you tell us?" Asked Sirius, sounding outraged.
"Blame Lily, she's the director!" Said Remus defensively.
"It was supposed to be a surprise!" Lily responded matter-of-factly.
"Well, you still could've -" Sirius never got to finish his sentence, as Professor Binns floated through the blackboard at the front of the room.
Professor Binns' class was, without a doubt, the most boring class taught at Hogwarts. This was the opinion held by every Hogwarts student, except that is, for the Marauders. History of Magic class was the main class used by the Marauders for coming up with new pranks, and thus, one of their favourites.
Coming into class late with his books, James missed out on his usual seat next to Remus and Sirius, and ended up sitting behind Lily and Yvonne. He saw this as the perfect opportuinity to get her attention. He wrote her a note:
"I believe in angels, I believe in love, I believe in anything, Even what's above. I believe in honesty, I believe what's true, But way in front of everything I believe in you."
He could tell that she had read it when she giggle softly. Yvonne nudged her and she handed the note to her friend who also giggled at it. Lily sent a note back to James, who felt himself blushing as he read it.
"I love bumblebees, butterflies, and little fairies, too. But when it comes right down to it, I'm in love with you."
He was glad that Sirius and Remus weren't there, reading over his shoulder. They'd be laughing uncontrollably right now. He wrote a note back to Lily:
"Luv u muchly Tiger-Lily."
Underneath the writing, he drew a bear and a heart with the initials 'LE' and 'JP'.
Again, Lily and Yvonne giggled over his note before writing back:
"Smile - It makes people wonder what you're up to."
As much as James had been trying not to say or do anything that might come off as vulgar (to Lily, anyway), he just couldn't resist this opportunity.
"Smile if you're mentally undressing me!"
James wasn't too surprised at her reaction to this. He was, however, surprised that she didn't wait until after class. She giggled, then got up, kicked him (hard) on the ankle, then sat back down.
Unsurprisingly, the eyes of every student in the classroom were on either Lily or James, but Professor Binns just continued to drone on as though nothing had happened. James decided to send one last note to Lily:
"You smiled."
A/N How was that? Did you like the last line? That's my (Sploogal's) favourite line of the whole fic so far! There is a better one coming up in Britty-Bum's scene, though. Yeah, I know - It was a little too short to really be a chapter on its own, but cut us some slack, ok? You asked for updates, so we're giving them to you. Ok, so that was a lame excuse, but aren't all excuses lame? Anyway, the next chapter should be a bit longer. Um, I think I'm up to the bit where I thank the reviewers. Well, I think I'll do that next chapter, as I'm just about to type that one anyway. Thanks to all reviewers, who will be mentioned in the next A/N.
