Chapter 46
James, Sirius and Remus sat down for lunch in the Great Hall. They noticed that Lily, Yvonne and Helga were already seated, and were watching out of the corners of their eyes. The boys decided to think nothing of this.
"It's nice weather today," James said, looking up at the charmed ceiling. "Perfect for quidditch."
"Yeah, why don't we go flying?" Remus suggested.
"Food first." Sirius said forcefully before picking up his spoon.
The air around them was illuminated for a second before a crack of thunder was heard and a rain cloud appeared above them.
"What's going on here? Now we won't be able to play quidditch!" James whined, unaware that only the marauders were affected by the rain cloud and that the weather hadn't actually changed.
Remus rolled his eyes, grabbed a piece of toast and picked up his knife. As he did so, the rain cloud floated away.
"I could have sworn the weather just changed." Sirius said suspiciously.
"At least it doesn't look like it's going to rain anymore." James said, picking up his fork.
The cloud returned.
"Ok, what the heck is going on?" James demanded.
Remus opened his mouth to answer but Yvonne beat him to it.
"We thought you knew the spoon controls the weather."
"And the fork's more powerful than the spoon, right?" piped up Helga.
"Of course, but remember that the knife is the most powerful of all and is preventing the fork from taking over." Lily put in.
Sirius touched each piece of cutlery in turn, making the clouds change with each touch. He grinned and began touching pieces of cutlery at random. Lily and Helga rolled their eyes and returned to their meals.
***
The girls correctly figured that since it was a fine day, the boys would be planning to go flying after breakfast. As they ate, Lily told Yvonne and Helga about James' promise to stuffy more. She saw the boys finish eating and get up from the table, so she rushed to head them off.
"Just where do you think you're going, James Francis Potter?"
James looked at Lily as though she was doing the Mexican hat dance in the nude or had suddenly sprouted celery sticks from the top of her head, and replied, "We're going flying, mother. If that's ok with you?"
"Did you forget your promise already?" Lily demanded. "You should be studying!"
"Aw, but Lily, the weather's perfect!" James whined.
Lily simply gave him a stern look.
James groaned and told Sirius and Remus that he'd join them later. His friends sniggered in his general direction as he allowed Lily, Yvonne and Helga to tow him away to the library. As he went, he muttered (Sploogal: *screams*) derisive comments under his breath.
A/N Thanks to all our faithful reviewers! There will be more today!
Thanks "Hoover" "Rogue Misfit Marauder Jedi" "Shnark" "ReBelleRose" "saxistwriterchick" and sorry if we missed anyone.
Hoover - Are you serious? I thought we still had two weeks of blissful ignorance left before we had to go back to school!
Rogue Misfit Marauder Jedi - You can't hex my computer! You can't you can't you can't! *cries* I updated please don't hex my wonderful super- computer! Ok, so it's not so wonderful, and it's not a super-computer. It actually crashes every couple of hours just to annoy me, but please don't hex it anyway!
Shnark - Yes, we watched Lily and Stitch. We didn't actually realise we'd gotten that bit from there until we read it through the second time, then we were like, "Oh damn". I forgot to put that in the disclaimer. I should go and do that. Actually, I've decided that I'd like to continue living in Australia, but go on holidays ever month or so.
ReBelleRose - Yeah, maybe Remus should be a prophet. . . Lol. No that wasn't the 'best chapter' so far. I'll be putting a note at the top of that one. Does ice-cream age? What kind of a question is that? Actually, I really have no idea. I've never thought about it. Glad you liked Debra. We thought the charm was a bit under-done too, but we'll probably be re- doing that bit in a couple of months, so you'll just have to put up with it until then. I'll be sure to tell Gnome how sadistic she is. Again. Lol. I'll let Carmen know what you said, too, when I see her.
saxistwriterchick - How do we do it? Good question. Let us know if you think of an answer! Lol.
