Chapter 45
The next morning, Lily walked down to breakfast and sat near the marauders. She picked up a spoon as the marauders watched with open mouths. She poured a bowl of cereal and went to dig her spoon into it when Sirius suddenly snatched the spoon from her hand.
"Lily! What are you doing?" he asked her in a disgusted tone.
Lily stared at him for a moment. "What?"
"You should know better than to anger the spoon!" Sirius replied slowly.
"Are you feeling ok, Sirius?"
At this point, Remus decided to back Sirius up. "He's right you know. You shouldn't be nasty to the spoon, Lily."
Lily rolled her eyes. "Why not"
Sirius turned to James. "You didn't tell her?!"
"Err. . . No." James replied sheepishly.
Sirius and Remus looked furious and shouted in unison, "JAMES!"
Lily and James, also in unison, asked, "What?"
"What are you lot on about?" Lily asked.
James looked at her meaningfully. "The spoon controls the weather."
There was a moment's silence.
"You're nuts."
"Who's nuts?" asked the marauders, looking around.
"All three of you!"
"Hey!" said James indignantly. "We're not the ones trying to eat out cereal with a spoon you know!"
Lily sighed and picked up a fork. "This better?"
"NO!" Yelled all three marauders at once.
"The fork's more powerful than the spoon." Sirius explained.
"Yeah," Remus agreed. "It's been trying to seize control of the weather."
"In fact, if it weren't for the knife," James started.
Lily groaned, rolled her eyes and moved to the Hufflepuff table.
"Hi Helga! Do you mind if I sit with you?" Lily asked.
"Sure." Helga smiled. "But why aren't you sitting at the Gryffindor table?"
"Boys." Lily replied. "They're going on about pieces of cutlery controlling the weather."
"Oh really?" Helga said with a glint in her eye similar to the one that Sirius got when he was up to no good.
"Lily, why are we sitting here today?" asked Yvonne, sliding in next to Lily and Helga.
Lily relayed the story to her quickly.
"So, I was thinking," Helga began, the glint still in her eye. "We could jinx the boys so that whenever they touch their cutlery, they get rained or snowed on or something."
The girls laughed.
"Helga, you're a genius."
"I know!" Helga replied matter-of-factly before the three of them dissolved into giggles again.
A/N I'll try and get another chapter out tonight if I can. Maybe more than that. Reviews please!
