Finally it let me post the stupid chapter!

Bahh…

Chapter 5

"Professor!" Lily said in horror.

Sirius who had his head down on the table looked up, still chuckling silently. He stopped suddenly, crossing his eyes to look at a fork stuck to his forehead. "Hey!" He exclaimed in a failed attempt to pry it off.

"Serves you right Mr. Black!" McGonagall scolded, and everyone but her and Sirius snickered.

Sirius crossed his arms over his chest and pouted.

"But the school year's over! You can't punish us!" Remus stated.

"It's not quite over yet Mr. Lupin." McGonagall remarked. "Now, one of you reverse the spell immediately!"

Lily said the counter-curse and everyone's utensils clanged as they hit the floor or the students' heads (some were holding their hands above them trying to figure out why they were stuck), and all the chairs became unstuck from the students and the teacher's bottoms.

"Thank you." McGonagall said more calmly. "Now...as for your punishments..."

------

"The only good thing about this is that I don't have to do the punishment." James said walking back from the Great Hall.

"You're making Lily do it instead? I thought you said you liked her, now you're making her do your punishments?" Sara asked raising an eyebrow. "I'd hate to see what you'd make her do for you if you actually got together. You'd make her lick the dirt off your shoes!"

James pulled a face. "I didn't mean it that way." He said. "I wouldn't let Lily lick the dirt off my shoes...I'd at least get her a cloth."

Sara stared at him.

"You know I was joking."

"I know." James said rolling his eyes. "I was joking too."

Sara sighed.

"I don't know how Lily's mother is going to put up with you."

"Yeah I-hey!" James squawked, shoving her but she just laughed.

------

"Stupid James and his stupid pranks." Lily muttered, scrubbing the floor of the Owlery.

"What was that Prongs?" Sirius asked.

Lily continued to mumble.

"Prongs." Sirius said a little louder.

Lily still continued to mumble, scrubbing harder.

"PRONGS!" Sirius yelled.

Lily jumped and looked up in surprise, along with Remus and Peter.

"Huh?" Lily asked.

"I asked what you were mumbling about." Sirius said.

Lily went a little red, not realizing Sirius was talking to her.

"Uh...nothing." She said.

'Way to go Lily…' Her brain reprimanded. 'Think you could talk a little louder?'

Sirius raised an eyebrow at her. "You were saying something. Sounded a lot like your name you were saying."

"No, I uh...was just talking to myself." Lily mumbled, her face heating up even more.

'Oh good one Lily. Now Sirius is going to think you're nutters.' Lily thought.

Sirius shrugged and went back to cleaning.

Lily looked up at Remus who shook his head at her, a smile tugging on the sides of his mouth. She glowered at him and he went back to cleaning.

Sighing, she wetted her scrubbing brush, cringing at the dirty water bucket.

'This is disgusting' She sneered at the floor. 'James is going to get it when I get out of here!'

------

"I wonder if they'll make the train." James said thoughtfully. He was sprawled out onto the sofa, relaxing for the last few hours of his time at Hogwarts, Sara sitting on the floor with her back up against a chair. "That Owlery is hard to clean..."

"Of course they will, Potter." Sara said dryly, flipping through a magazine. "The teachers wouldn't want them here any longer than necessary."

James smirked at her. "Are you kidding? The teachers love us! I bet they would jump at the chance to get us to stay longer."

Sara laughed. "You must be…j-joking…I…" She couldn't even speak she was laughing so hard.

James's smirk fell off his face when he realized she wasn't going to stop, anytime soon. He watched her impatiently while she rolled around on the floor, gripping her sides.

"Are you quite finished?" James asked exasperatedly, propping his elbow up on the sofa pillow, and resting his head on his hand.

Sara nodded, wiping away the tears that had formed from her laughter.

"Good. Can you hand me that magazine?" James pointed to the magazine that lay forgotten on the floor beside Sara.

"So…what time do you think er…the guys and Lily will be back?" Sara asked.

James looked at her over the magazine that she had handed him. He quirked an eyebrow. "Why?"

Sara's face darkened. "Do I need to explain everything to you Potter?"

James rolled his eyes and went back to the magazine. "I was just wondering." He said. "You don't have to get snappy."

Sara glared harder at him, waiting for him to reply to her question.

"Well?" She asked after a few minutes.

"Well what?"

"You've cleaned the Owlery before haven't you? What time did you finish?" Sara asked.

James flipped a page. "You seem to know everything about us, you tell me."

Sara grit her teeth. "Potter! You think I would've asked if I knew?" She growled.

James smirked at her from behind his magazine. "All right, don't get your knickers in a twist." He set the magazine down delicately in his lap, taking his time.

Sara waved her hand, telling him to get on with it.

"Hm, let's see." James said squinting up at the ceiling. He lifted a hand, ticking off his fingers.

Sara waited, unamused, listening to James mutter to himself. She glanced around the common room for something to entertain herself with but came up short.

She noticed out of the corner of her eye that James was looking at her, so she turned back to him. "Well?"

"I don't remember."

Luckily for James, the portrait opened and in walked the three boys with Lily looking exhausted.

"How was it?" Sara asked putting away her wand.

Sirius didn't say anything; he just left for the boys' dorm, Peter trailing behind him.

James lowered his hands that he had put up in defensive against Sara's wand and smirked at Lily and Remus who trudged over to them. "Did you have fun?"

James hid under the sofa cushions when he received the worst death glare Lily had ever given him.

"That good eh?"

"Did you have fun?" Lily asked Sara who scowled at her.

"I swear, how can someone who destroys the school for fun be so bloody boring—"

"I most certainly am not! You just didn't have anything for us to do!" James said in defence.

Sara clenched her fists. "Oh now it's my fault—"

"Girls…" Remus intervened.

James gave him a withering gaze and he laughed, holding up his hands.

"I mean…girl and guy…sorry, I'm tired."

"Well you should be." Sara commented glancing at her watch. "You've been cleaning that tower now for hours."

"You also smell like owls." James said pulling a face and holding his nose.

Lily grinned wickedly and held out her arms. "Does someone need a hug?"

James eyed the brown, crusty patches on her robes. "Why do you have to ask me that now?" He asked dejectedly.

"Aw…poor baby." Lily said sarcastically.

"Hey Lily…since it's the last day an' all…" Sara said smiling sweetly at her. "D'you want to go down to the kitchens and grab some food?"

Lily rubbed her eyes and sighed. "Fine…" She mumbled. "Let's go then."

James watched them leave and turned back to Remus who had collapsed on the sofa.

"Last day…sodding Owlery…" Remus mumbled pulling a pillow over his face. "I hate you James…"

James rolled his eyes and whacked him with another pillow.

------

Sigh—I'm sorry for taking a while…ehh…I'd fill you with excuses but I'm too tired. I feel like I've been cleaning the Owlery…

Anyway, sorry for letting this be so short, but I'll get the next couple chapters (which will get longer…I promise) up as quickly as I can…

Oh and mess you, bloody Request Timeout!
