There was only one blueberry scone and two hungry (well, semi-hungry) boys.
James and Sirius stared across the table at each other, daring the other to make the first move. Peter watched their standoff with avid curiosity and Remus, all too accustomed to this situation, merely moved to sit with another group of students.
James moved first, grabbing his cup of orange juice and splashing it onto Sirius's face. Sirius sputtered and snatched up the first thing he could find, which happened to be a slice of toast and threw it at James. James was ready, ducking, and the toast hit another student.
Moments later, hell was unleashed. Food flew everywhere, ranging from marmite to porridge, and not a single student was spared. The teachers were shouting for calm, but they went unheard in the chaos.
In the middle of it all stood two boys, one drenched in orange juice and the other with toast covered in jam stuck to his face. At some point, Sirius had hurtled over the table so he could get a better aim.
In the midst of their battle, they forgot what they were battling for. The scone lay behind Sirius, neglected.
Of all the things Lily had been anticipating that morning, none of them had been a food fight. However, she had the foresight to encase herself in an invisible shield so any food headed in her direction would rethink its course.
Strolling through the disheveled student, Lily spotted a scone resting untouched at the center of the table. She did not see James or Sirius, but she picked up the scone and —
James saw Lily take a bite out of the scone and his face drained of color. Seeing this, Sirius whirled around and blanched.
"Evans — !"
Lily swallowed her bite. "What?" she asked.
"I — you — "
"Speak English, Black," she said irritably. Gesturing to the pandemonium, she asked, "I'm assuming this is all your fault? Have you lost your mind?"
Both of them opened their mouths, but at that moment the food froze in mid-air.
Lily smirked as she saw McGonagall storming towards them, her face contorted with fury.
"POTTER! BLACK!"
"Oh shi—"
