Hey everyone! Thanks for all the wonderful reviews. I'm so sorry for not updating sooner. I had writers block and a lot of things came up. I hope everyone likes this chapter!
Chapter 10- Under the Stars
James and Lily had finished their breakfast and were sitting on the couch next to each other in the living room. Lily was reading a book of some sort and James was reading Sirius's quidditch magazine. Suffie, Remus, and Sirius were all sprawled out sleeping on their sleeping bags in front of them. They were still in their clothing from the night before. The sun was out and it wasn't as cool out as it had been the day before.
"You know Sirius has been taking embarrassing pictures of us for the last two weeks, and tomorrow's our last day here. We should really get him back somehow," James said putting down his magazine.
"Yea you have a point, what should we do?" Lily asked. James smirked and put his arm around Lily.
"Got any whipped cream?" He said. Lily nodded and went to the kitchen, she came back with two cans of whipped cream spraying some in her mouth as she walked. James had gone through Sirius's bag and found his camera. Lily tossed a can of whipped cream to him and he caught it. They both knelt over Sirius.
"Sirius...you awake?" James said. Sirius didn't even flinch. "Good he's sound asleep." Lily squirted some whipped cream in Sirius hand and James tickled his face. Sirius hand shot up and whipped cream splattered his face.
"hmm...mmmm...purple pandas..." Sirius mumbled as he moved a bit. James and Lily burst out laughing. They both coated him with whipped cream, gave him a whipped cream beard and mustache and put it all over his hair. Lily ran back into the kitchen and grabbed a squeeze bottle of chocolate sauce which they dribbled all over him also.
"And to top it all off..." Lily pulled out a cherry and placed it on Sirius's nose. "Now we got ourselves a Sirius ice cream Sundae." James took a few pictures as they both laughed. The door bell rang and Lily went and got it.
"Oh hello Lindsey!" Lily said and smiled.
"Hey, what's going on?" She asked.
"Um...just making sundae's," Lily giggled. They both walked into the living room. Lindsey took one look and started laughing, she walked over and knelt down next to Sirius who was still sleeping.
"Must admit, he makes a pretty cute ice cream sundae," Lindsey joked.
"Well I know I'm sexy, and even hot, but a cute ice cream sundae?" Sirius mumbled. Lily leaned on James, who were both trying not to laugh.
"Um...Sirius?" Lindsey started.
"Yea," He mumbled.
"Well your kind of..."
"What the bloody hell am I covered with!" Sirius yelled as his eyes went wide and he sat up. The cherry went flying, Lindsey caught it before it hit her. Lily and James were now both on the ground laughing. Sirius sighed and licked the whipped cream around his mouth off.
"Wow, I taste good," Sirius said. Lindsey laughed and ate the cherry.
"No comment," She said and smiled. Sirius stood up as Remus woke up. "What's going..." He stopped when he saw Sirius, whipped cream slightly dripping down him. Remus poked Suffie's shoulder to wake her. She yawned and sat up. She took one look at Sirius and yelped.
"S...Sirius? What in Merlin's name happened to you?" Suffie said holding back laughter. Sirius looked at Lily and James and then saw the cans on the table and looked back at Lily and James with a smirk. James saw this and then lunged for the can of whipped cream. Too late, Sirius got to them both first and sprayed James in the face. James wiped it off his eyes. Lily continued laughing until Sirius faced her.
"Eep! Sirius, you wouldn't! It was all James I swear!" She said.
"Liar!" James yelled. Lily glared at him as Sirius sprayed her hair. James grabbed the other can that was in Sirius's hand but he wasn't using and started to spray him back.
"You guys feel left out too?" Lindsey said to Suffie and Remus, they were all sitting next to each other on the floor watching. Suffie and Remus nodded. James, Lily, and Sirius all stopped and faced them a gleam in all their eyes.
"Uh...I'll just be going now," Lindsey said standing up and slowly backing up to the door.
"Yea us too," Remus said as him and Suffie made their way to the front door too. Sirius, James, and Lily all ran after them spraying the whipped cream as they went. Suffie, Remus, and Lindsey ran into the back yard. The whipped cream was soon gone. Sirius tossed the empty container over his shoulder.
"Only one thing left to do now," James said and went to dive into Lily's pool. Lily grabbed the back of his shirt and dragged him away.
"No way you'll get whipped cream in the pool wash it off with the hose first!" Lily said and pointed to the hose on the side of the house. James shrugged and walked over to it. He picked it up 'Hmm...you probably pull the trigger thing...' James thought. He did so lightly and a trickle of water came out. He began to grin.
"Wash the whipped cream off? Okay if you insist Lils," James said and sprayed Lily upside the head with the water.
"James, I'll kill you!" Lily shrieked and chased after him as he ran around the yard. Lindsey, Suffie, Remus, and Sirius, not wanting to get involved went into the house to get cleaned. Lily tackled James and he flew to the ground. She pinned his shoulders down with her hands. He looked up at her.
"What are you going to do now, huh?" He asked. She grinned widely.
"Kill you," She said and giggled. He flipped her over so that he was now on top of her and pinned her shoulders down with his hands.
"Going to be kind of hard if you can't move isn't it?" He said and laughed. She tried to get free but he was stronger.
"No fair," She pouted. He moved a piece of hair that was in her face behind her ear and wiped a bit of whipped cream off with his thumb.
"I'll let you go on one condition," He said.
"And what would that be?" Lily asked.
"You owe me one wish that I can use anytime I want," James said.
"Fine, whatever get off me!" Lily said and laughed.
He pushed off the ground and stood up. He held his hand out, she took it and he helped her up. They walked into the house where everyone was already cleaned up.
"Do you guys want to go to my house for a bit?" Lindsey asked. They all agreed to go once Lily and James went and got changed and cleaned up.
Lindsey rang the doorbell to her house.
"Who is it?" Someone said in a sing-song voice.
"Lucy open up! Its me!" Lindsey yelled. They heard some giggling but the door didn't open.
"Sorry Lin, Mum and Dad said not to open the door for anyone except them," Another voice yelled.
"Luke you prat, open this door! Where are Mum and Dad?" Lindsey yelled while banging on the door.
"There out for a few hours," Luke said.
"Open up!" She screamed. They gave up after a while and Lindsey led them in back.
"The kitchen window's open. Someone give me a boost", Lindsey said. Sirius helped her up and she got through the window. Laughing and shrieks were heard. Lindsey opened a door on the deck next to the window she had climbed into. "Sorry guys, come on in."
They walked into the kitchen and she led them into the living room where her brother and sister were sitting.
"That's Luke and Lucy, Luke Lucy this is Lily, Suffie, Remus, James, and you already met Sirius," She said. "So what do you guys want to do?"
"Um...I want to do something..." Sirius started.
"Stupid?" Remus said.
"Yes, something stupid," Sirius said. Lindsey looked at him and raising an eyebrow. "Wait, no! I don't do stupid things Remus. Where ever did you get that idea!"
"I don't know, remember the..." Remus started but Sirius clamped a hand over Remus's mouth.
"No need to bring up the past Moony!" Sirius stuttered.
"You don't even know what I was going to say," Remus protested.
"Oh trust me, I'm pretty positive I do, I'm still having nightmares about that," Sirius said.
"Does it have anything to do with purple pandas" Lily said and then started laughing along with James.
"Wh...wha..." Sirius said.
"Nevermind" James said.
"Let's just go hang out in my room," Lindsey said "Luke, Lucy you guys stay here."
"Fine," Lucy sighed.
"Fine, we'll leave you and your boyfriend alone," Luke teased and pointed to Sirius when he said boyfriend. Lindsey blushed a tad.
"He's not my boyfriend," She muttered and led them upstairs.
When they all got back to Lily's house they ate dinner. Suffie and Remus were talking and so were Lindsey and Sirius, making James and Lily a bit uncomfortable. Lily fidgeted a bit and then stood up.
"Come on," Lily said softly and grabbed James hand. She dragged him upstairs and into her room.
"I have to get going," Lindsey said standing up from the table.
"I'll walk you home," Sirius said.
"No, don't bother. It's okay I can walk home by myself," Lindsey said. Sirius shook his head no.
"It's dark out, I'll walk you home," He insisted.
"Thank you," She said smiling. Sirius grabbed their jackets and they left.
"Where are we going?" James asked as she dragged him down the hall and into a room.
"Just my room. Needed to get away from the lovesickness in that room," Lily said. She went over to her window and opened it. She stuck her leg out.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"Going to sit on the roof. The garage is connected to this side of the house and the roof of it is only about 5 inches below my window, I go out here a lot...to think. You coming, the roof is barely slanted so it'll be fine." She explained and went out onto the roof. James followed her. They laid back on the roof next to each other and looked at the stars.
"Want to play a game?" James said.
"Um...what kind of game?" Lily asked
"You have to go back and forth naming constellations, if you can't find one you lose," James said.
"You just made all that up didn't you," Lily said plainly.
"Oh Lily, you know me so well!" James said. James picked up her hand so that the both had their index finger out, his was on top of hers, and pointed up into the sky.
"Um let's see..." He started and moved their hands around searching for a constellation "Theirs a good one to start with, that's Phoenix." (AN- umm I don't know if constellations are the same in England or in the wizarding world so bear with me here lol. You can probably tell I'm not a astronomy kind of person, I mean are constellations the same everywhere? Hmmm...gives me something to think about)
"Where?" Lily asked. James pushed next to her more, their shoulders were touching.
"There see?" He said pointing again. Lily nodded.
"Okay, my turn..." She said " There's Centaurus," She said pointing to each star of the constellation with both of their fingertips. They continued this for a while until James couldn't think of another. Lily grinned widely.
"I won," She said. She was still looking up at the stars, James still holding her hand. "You owe me a wish," James said.
"Well that was random. What are you talking about?" Lily asked.
"In the yard this afternoon, you owe me a wish," He said.
"Oh yea I forgot about that. It depends, what do you want?" She asked.
"What happened to Lily and James?" Suffie asked.
"Who knows," Remus said shrugging as they went into the living room. Remus sat down on the couch and pulled Suffie onto his lap.
"You know what I think that we should set Lily and James up together," Suffie said. Remus laughed.
"Maybe they should just work it out on their own," He said.
"Aw, your no fun," Suffie whined and gave Remus a kiss, which soon deepened. They was a small bump but they gave it no thought and continued to snog. Unaware to them a boy walk out of the fireplace. He dusted himself off. He had blonde hair, light blue eyes, and was very tall.
"What are you doing?" He yelled. Suffie yelped and fell on the ground.
"Orion? W...what are you doing here?" Suffie asked standing up quickly.
"We have to leave get your stuff," The boy said in a serious tone of voice. "Who is he?" He asked glaring at Remus.
"That's Remus. He's my boyfriend, and why do I have to leave! I thought I had another day!" Suffie protested. Orion shook his head.
"Get your stuff," He said. Suffie gathered her stuff quickly and stepped into the fire place but then stepped back out she gave Remus a hug and kiss.
"Tell Lily and everyone I said bye and that I'll see them later," She said.
"Okay,"
"Promise to owl?" She said.
"Promise," Remus said nodding, Orion smiled apologetically as he gave Suffie a bit of Floo powder. She stepped into the fire place.
"Moon Manor!" She shouted as she threw down the powder and disappeared.
"Better treat my little sister good," Orion said, he shook Remus's hand and then flooed away. Sirius and Lindsey walked up the street. Neither of them were talking. It was dark out but the street lights were all on. They walked up to her house and sat down on the front step.
"You coming over tomorrow? Its our last day and James's parents are either picking us up extremely late at night or very early the next mourning," Sirius said.
"I'll try, thanks for walking me to my house. I'll see you either tomorrow or at Hogwarts," Lindsey said. They both stood up and Sirius went to walk away. Lindsey turned him around and gave him a quick kiss on his cheek and then she walked into her house. Sirius smirked and raised a hand to his cheek and then started to walk back.
James flipped over so that he was above her, he had a hand on either side of her above her shoulders. He pushed a piece of hair behind her ear.
"Just a kiss, just one quick kiss," James said, his face an inch from hers.
"B..but James," She started but James cut her off with the kiss. He stopped and looked at her. Lily didn't say anything and neither did James. 'Oh hell with it...' Lily thought and she kissed him again. James was shocked but kissed back. They only snogged for a few minutes when Lily broke off the kiss.
"That was stupid of me, we shouldn't have kissed," Lily said and tried pushing him off her so she could leave.
"No, it wasn't stupid, why do you think it was stupid? Is it stupid that I like you?" James said a little ticked off only because he didn't understand.
"You don't have to talk to me in that tone of voice. You know it would never work. You only like me because I don't know. Like because my hair is brushed and my clothing is nicer. I don't have time to look perfect at school, school is for learning not looking like a supermodel or something. You like me now but the second we get to school you probably won't even talk to me ever again and will go back to playing pranks on me," She yelled and shoved him off and stood up.
"Well I thought we had all became friends and me, nor Remus, nor Sirius were not going to play anymore pranks on you. Also just because school is for learning it doesn't mean you can't run a brush through your hair or wear new clothing," he yelled back.
"Just leave me alone!" Lily yelled and walked inside. She stomped down the stairs. Remus was there.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Nothing where is Suffie?" Lily asked.
"Her brother Orion came and made her go home." He explained. Lily sighed and walked out the back door. She took her socks off and sat on the edge of the pool with her feet in the water. She sat there for a while until she heard the backdoor open and shut. Someone sat beside her but she didn't bother to look up from the water.
"Sorry." She heard the person next to her say. It was James, she figured as much.
"It's okay." She replied and leaned her head on his shoulder.
