Fifth chapter. R&R please. :)
Lily and Tonks walked up to the to the seventh floor, where the Gryffindor common room was. They stop out side the Fat Lady portrait when she asked for the password..
"Password?" She asked.
"Devils Snare." Lily replied, she followed Lily into the common room, which was covered in red and gold.
"Hey Lillies!" James cried. "Hey Tonks! What are you doing in here?"
"Sleepover." Tonks replied, Lily however said nothing, instead she walked up the stairs to the girls' dormitory, Tonks followed after her.
The dormitory looked completely different to the Hufflepuff version. All the beds had been pushed to the side of the room, and there was bowls upon bowls of sweets on the floor.
"I thought you wanted me to buy sweets?" Lily asked, looking at the amount they already had.
"You can never have too much sugar." Claire replied, picking up a jelly bean.
"By the looks of things, you've proved that we can. We have enough sugar to put someone into a coma." Tonks replied. "Where should I put my things?"
"If you just put them over there." Sarah pointed to the wall at the back of the room. "But wait, first we need to change into our pyjamas."
Tonks went first in the bathroom and was out in about a minute. She packed long red pyjama which were covered with little monkeys holding a daisy each . She had a white tank top with the same design as the pyjama bottoms, except it was just one big monkey holding a daisy.
Tonks exited the bathroom, then Lily entered it. She emerged wearing the same as Tonks excluding the monkeys and her pyjama bottoms were green. Claire went after Lily, then Sarah went after Claire.
"Someone turn the radio on!" She shouted from the bathroom.
Lily walked over to the radio and flicked a switch, and soon the room was filled with music.
"I love this song!" Claire cried, and she started to sing along.
la, da da da
The smell of your skin lingers on me now
You're probably on your flight back to your hometown
I need some shelter of my own protection baby
Be with myself in center, clarity
Peace, Serenity
When the Chorus began, Sarah joined in singing.
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightening out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their
blanket
But I've gotta move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry,
Don't cry,
Don't cry
Lily joined in now, and Tonks thought that the three of them sounded good together.
The path that I'm walking, I must go alone
I must take the baby steps till I'm full grown,
Full grown
Fairy tales don't always have a happy ending do they
And I for see the dark ahead if I stay
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightening out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their
blanket
But I've gotta move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Tonks knew the words from here, so she decided to join in to.
Like a little school mate in the school yard
We'll play jacks and Uno cards
I'll be your best friend and you'll be my
valentine
Yes you can hold my hand if you want to
'cause I wanna hold yours too
We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret
worlds
But it's time for me to go home
It's getting late, dark outside
I need to be with myself in center, clarity
Peace, Serenity
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightening out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their
blanket
But I've gotta get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry,
Don't cry,
Don't cry
La Da Da Da Da
The four of them sang together until the song finished, then collapsed into a fit of giggles.
"Wow Tonks! You can really sing!" Sarah said, eating some popcorn.
"Thanks, you're all really good yourselves." Tonks replied, eating some chocolate. "What are we going to do now?"
"How about we play a game?" Claire suggested.
"Ooh! I know a really good game. It's called truth or dare." Lily said.
"I've heard of that. You either pick truth or dare. If you pick dare, someone dares you to do something, and you have to do it or else you receive a forfeit which you can't back out of. If you pick truth, you'll get asked on question and you have to tell the truth. I think we should use veritaserum." Sarah explained.
"I've got some in my trunk." Lily said. "I confiscated it off of a third year." Lily opened her trunk and produced a bottle of clear liquid.
"Okay, I'll go first." Claire said. "Tonks, truth or dare?"
"Um, truth."
"Lily, give her the veritaserum." Claire said, and Lily handed Tonks the bottle, she sipped it and felt like a sheet of ice was passing through her.
"Tonks," she said, a grin spreading across her face. "who do you fancy?"
"I umm, I. I fancy Remus Lupin!" Her mouth was in control and it had to shout it out.
Lily grinned and squealed. "I knew it!"
"Okay, so its my go right? I pick…Lily. Truth or dare?" Tonks said, waiting to get her payback.
"Dare."
"I dare you to go and kiss James Potter!" Tonks said, a mischievous smile spreading across her face.
"Never! I choose the forfeit!" She shouted.
"Okay then, the forfeit is to ask him to the Christmas Ball." Tonks replied.
"Fine." She got up and started to leave when Sarah shouted. "Wait! Someone needs to go with her, to make sure she actually does it."
"I'll go." Tonks volunteered, and she and Lily made their way to the Boys' Dormitory.
They reached the top of the stairs and Lily just froze, so Tonks stretched her arm out, and knocked on the door.
"Come in!" She heard her cousin reply.
She gently pushed Lily in through the door and she saw James and Sirius lying on their beds and Lupin sitting looking at a book.
"Lillies! Tonks! What brings you here?" James asked sitting up.
"Actually James, I wanted to talk to you." Lily grimaced.
She walked over to him and Tonks heard Lily ask James to the Ball really fast, but she heard her say it was a dare about five times.
"Hey Loopy. Hey Sirius." Tonks said.
"Alright Tonks?" Sirius said.
"Hi Dora." Lupin replied, smiling at her.
She seen Lily approaching her and she said, "Have you done it?" Lily merely nodded. "We have to go." Tonks hurried Lily out of the dormitory.
"What did he say?" Tonks asked.
She groaned and replied. "He said yes, this is going to be the worst night of my life."
"I'm sure it won't be that bad." Tonks replied.
They entered the girls' dormitory to see Claire and Sarah eagerly waiting for them to return.
"What did he say?" They both asked in unison.
"He said yes." Lily groaned.
"Anyways, back to the game. Lily it's your go."
"Tonks," She said through gritted teeth, eager to get her revenge. "Truth or dare?"
Tonks thought for a minute and said. "Dare." From the minute she had picked it, she instantly regretted it.
"I dare you, to ask Lupin to the Ball."
"Oh, how original." She joked. "Coming then?"
'Just ask him then leave, it's simple really. But what happens if he says no? Things will never be the same again. Come on Tonks! Calm down, just knock on the door.' her thoughts were running through her head, and before they knew it they were outside the boys' dormitory.
Lily knocked on the door and entered. Tonks had just noticed that there was clothes everywhere, and the room was really messy compared to the girls.
"Couldn't wait until tomorrow, huh Evans?" James said.
"No, actually Tonks wanted to ask Remus something." Lily said, kicking James.
"Can we go outside?" she asked, not wanting to ask him in front of everybody.
He nodded and put down his book, she held the door open for him and he walked out onto the staircase. She shut the door behind her.
"I was wondering, are you going with anyone to the Ball?" She asked, trying to get rid of her nerves.
"No." He replied, smiling softly at her.
"Are you actually going to go?"
"Yeah. James and Sirius will be there, so it'll be a laugh.
"Oh. Um, that's good. I was wondering, would you maybe want to go with me?" She said, her face turning pink.
"I would love to." He replied, a grin spreading across his face.
"Good, I daresay I'll see you before the Ball tomorrow night, just so you know, this was a dare. But I was glad they dared me to do it." Said Tonks, a smile spreading across her face.
"I'm glad they dared you too. See you tomorrow Dora." said Lupin, and he walked back into the boys' dormitory.
"Bye Loopy."
Tonks stood outside for a few seconds, before she ran back into the boys' dormitory, wrapped her arms around Lupin's neck and kissed him full on the mouth. He wrapped his arms around her waist happily returned the kiss. She heard Lily squeal, and she heard James and Sirius wolf whistle. She ended the kiss and said. "That wasn't a dare." She grabbed Lily's arm and they ran out of the boys' dormitory.
"I take it he said yes then." Lily said, once they had reached the bottom of the stairs.
"He said yes!" She squealed, unable to believe it.
"They walked back to the girls' dormitory to find Claire and Sarah fast asleep.
"I guess getting the room ready really tired them out." said Lily.
She and Tonks both got into their sleeping bags, and Tonks had never fell asleep so happy.
