A Tigerlily and a White Stag

Most of the school was already eating when the group that had been dancing came in, soaked to the skin and laughing.

James, Lily, and a few other Gryffindors made their way to their table, waving a goodbye to the Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs that had joined them.

"That was fun!" Sarah told Lily as they ate. "You have a great boyfriend!"

"Yeah, I know," Lily replied, hugging James lightly. He smiled a bit sheepishly.

"I've got a great girlfriend," he said quietly, hugging Lily back.

Sirius walked up to them. "Um... Prongs? I... need to talk to you."

James blinked. "Okay... See you in a little while, then, Lils," he said, getting up and following Sirius back to their dorm.

"Look, I know I've been a real... a real prat to you and Lily, and... I'm sorry," Sirius said as James closed the door behind them. "I was just afraid you would... I guess that you would like her more than us, and I know it's really immature, but-"

"It's okay, Padfoot," James interrupted. "It's okay. And I owe you an apology too. I've been spending most of my time with Lily, and barely any with you and Moony and Wormtail. So what d'you say we go find Moony and Wormtail and set up a prank for McGonagall, hm?"

Sirius grinned. "She probably thinks there's something wrong with us. I don't remember the last prank we all played on her, or any other teacher."

"Seriously," said James with a smirk.

"Stop it," Sirius laughed, pushing James at the door and right into Remus and Peter.

"Hey!" Remus and Peter fell over, but James managed to grab onto Sirius's still-outstretched arm. "What the heck are you two doing?"

Sirius and James were each leaning against one side of the door and laughing uncontrollably.

"Well, at least they're back to normal," said Remus as he got up.

Sorry about the delay... had to go do chores, then got writer's block(after I got to the 'I have a great girlfriend' part, I couldn't decide if I should make this chapter J/L fluff or angsty Sirius), then got distracted by Pirates of the Caribbean. ORLI! WOOT! Eheh... :cough:

Anyways, three requests got honored in this chapter. I updated (per HG and Shannon's requests) and Sirius and James are no longer mad at each other (Lisa's request). And the 'seriously' joke... that's not only from some fanfic I read somewhere, but is also a very good way to annoy both Padfoot and Hikari. :laughs:
