A/N: Hey! Here is an update!

Chapter 4: The weirdest day ever

James woke up early, this was an important day for him, he hoped he passed Lily's test. He got dressed and walked to the common room to think. When he got there he realized Lily beat him to it, he found her on a sofa across from the fire.

"Hey," he said taking a seat next to her,

"Hey,"

"A penny for your thoughts?"

"Well I've been thinking about my decision,"

"Am I going to like it?" Lily laughed

"Maybe"

"Lily I'd do anything for your friendship."

"But why? Why am I so special?"

"Because I liked you the moment I saw you, you also don't throw yourself at me like the rest of the female population, to add to that you are very beautiful, smart, compassionate, nature loving, you don't care about popularity, make up, I could go on forever, and I realize that before yesterday, I wanted you all to myself – I still do, but then, I think I probably went too far – scaring all the other guys away, asking you out day in and out… I think I learned my lesson," Lily was silent,

"Thanks," she finally said blushing, "It's so easy to talk to you, and I can act like a total idiot and you won't care, you really have changed."

"So?"

"So, I think I would love to be your friend."

"YES!" James was so happy he jumped a foot in the air and fell off of his chair (that rhymes! Lol) Lily laughed and James gave one of his famous lopsided smiles.

Then Sirius, Remus, and Peter came downstairs,

"Guys! I did it!" said James jumping around towards them.

"Did what?" asked Sirius, Remus slapped him upside the head. "Oh Yeah! Great Prongs!"

"Congrats," said Remus

"Yay!" Peter cheered,

"Can we celebrate in the Great Hall?" Whined Sirius, "I'm starved, "The others agreed and headed to breakfast, but little did they know this Saturday was going to be crazy…

Later that afternoon, the group met up in the Muggle Studies classroom.

Here are some descriptions of the OC characters so you know a bit of what they look like.

Rebekah had her sandy-blonde hair pulled up in a high ponytail. She was wearing plain jeans and a light green t-shirt. For make up she wore black mascara, a silvery-white eye shadow, and pink lip -gloss, and had sandals on her feet.

Charlotte had her long straight brown hair down, no make up except for pink gloss. She was wearing jeans and a pink t- shirt with a guitar on it that said 'Do you play?' and had white sneakers on.

Shelby had her long curly Auburn hair pulled up in a ponytail on her left side, leaving behind a ringlet on her right next to her face. She was wearing jeans with army print trim with a think brown belt with a chain buckle lined with rhinestones, and a brown shirt with a big rose on her chest. For make up just some black mascara and light purple eye shadow which brought our her blue eyes, and pink gloss, for shoes she wore beige sandals with heels.

Lily had her red hair down no make up just clear gloss. She wore jeans and a light green shirt with tan flip-flops.

Alex for brief description has long sandy blonde hair (as long as Sirius's) blue eyes and a natural tan.

Kevin has curly brown hair, brown eyes, and a little on the short side.

And you all know what the Marauders look like so be creative with what they wear.

They sat down around the lap -top.

"How about we turn it on?" said Alex, Rebekah reached out for the button.

"I wanna do it!" said Sirius like a little four year old. He pushed the button… Nothing happened. Rebekah rolled her eyes and pushed it she, soon the familiar screen appeared.

"Hey, I found…. The… Directions!" panted Remus, struggling to lift a very, very, very, thick book. Kevin gave him a hand; soon they finally got it onto the table. Now the group was starting at the big book of directions.

"Wow," said Sirius, his eyes locked on the book in awe "I knew Moony works out, but I have never seen him lift – attempt to lift something like that… Prongs and me probably wouldn't be able to either…"

"I work out? You guys play Quidditch not me."

"Yes you do! You carry around, and lift up and down all kinds of books! The – dare I say it – library is your personal gym!"

"I guess I do work out…" said Remus lifting him arm and flexing it to see if there was some muscle, and what do you know, there was some. Remus snuck a grin, and sat up straight proudly.

"Sooooooooo, who wants to start reading it?" asked Peter, sliding as far away from the book as possible, James had his mouth wide open, Remus shut it for him, James mouth fell open again, Remus shut it, James mouth fell open… again, Remus – slapped him on the head. Sirius, James, Peter, Kevin, and Rebekah backed their chairs far away from the directions, leaving Remus, Alex, Lily, Shelby, and Charlotte remaining to open the directions.

"How boring is it?" said Charlotte tilting her head to the side getting a better view of how thick the book was.

"Um… " said Remus bravely opening the book skimming the first page, "The introduction is, but we don't need to read about the muggles who created the thing."

"How many pages is it?" asked Shelby squatting down on the floor looking directly at the book at eye level. Remus sighed and struggle to flip the book over and opened the last page.

"5,788 counting the introduction, main directions, diagrams, glossary, index, appendix, and afterward. It's 6,234 with the note from the authors," All of them gulped and sunk into their chairs – Shelby fell on the floor since she was still squatting.

"Well," said Kevin trying to brighten things up "At least half of it is probably stuff we don't need" Lily sat up and pulled the book towards her, and flipped through it.
"Ok, the game is called 'Sims 2' to enter it you use this pad- like thingy" Lily pointed to the touch pad, her eyes not moving from the directions "to move the arrow over the Sims icon and click on it."

"How do you click?" asked James,

"I don't know," Kevin tried moving the arrow around the screen but couldn't get it over the 'Sims 2' icon. But he accidentally tapped his finger on the touch pad and he was over a different icon. So a thing called 'AOL' popped up and sadly the connection was dial up so they heard a loud annoying sound. (Don't you hate dial up connection? Thank heaven for DSL!)

"Turn it off!" Sirius yelled while covering his ears.

"I think you found out how to 'click' Kevin!" said Shelby

"This is worse than mandrakes!" cried James, and Peter upon hearing that- fainted.

"How do you get out of this!" said Kevin pushing random keys. Charlotte pushed Kevin out of his seat and moved the arrow to the 'x' and clicked on it, the 'AOL' screen and the sound that came with it vanished.

"Thank you!" said Sirius, James, Remus and Kevin in unison. Charlotte rolled her eyes. Shelby revived Peter and they settle back down in their chairs.

"It was nothing, now let's get this game up." Charlotte clicked on the 'Sims 2' icon and soon it came up but it was loading and playing elevator music.

" Doo do doo do do do doo doo do do do do do do" Charlotte sang in a bored tone.

"Could you please stop that?" asked Remus, Charlotte stopped but after a few seconds, Shelby started,

"This is the song that never ends, it goes on and on my friends –" Remus growled at her,

"What? It's not my fault the game takes forever to load," said Shelby crossing her legs and arms, slouching and pouting. Soon after five minutes everyone but Charlotte gave in and sang 'do doo doo do do'

"Ha! I got you all to do it!" said Charlotte doing a small victory dance. Finally a different screen popped up. Charlotte clicked on 'Start New Game' "Who wants to create a Sim first?" asked Charlotte

"Me!" said Sirius, but knowing him if they let him go first – it could be the end of the world.

"How about some one whose been reading the directions." Said Alex pulling the laptop in front of him. "What should I create?"

"How about yourself?" suggested Shelby

"Great Idea!" Alex typed in 'Alex Twit' in the name box and tried to make the Sim look exactly like him. When he was finished every one surrounded the computer to look at the first creation.

"It doesn't look entirely like you," said James,

"It looks…. Plastic," said Sirius

"It's the closest I could get to myself, who's next?"

"I'll go," said James, he created himself but when no one was looking he started to create Lily, he was especially enjoying the lingerie area. Luckily Lily caught him and shoved him out of his seat and fixed 'herself' Remus came next followed by Shelby, Kevin, Charlotte, Rebekah, Peter, and Sirius last. Then the looked for a house but their budget wouldn't buy a house big enough or all ten of them.

Rebekah was reading the directions and shoved Sirius out of his chair and click on something and started typing 'Motherload' again and again, to the others surprise, they were getting more money. When they got about 5 million dollars Shelby spoke,

"How did you do that?"

"It's a cheat code, I read the directions – at least that part of them" They bought a big house for the 10 Sims and they bought some stuff for their rooms.

"Do you know how long that took?" asked Sirius finally, they looked at the clock, it was noon.

"We've been here 3 hours!" said Kevin

"It's lunchtime too" Peter added,

Let's just activate the game and save it so we don't lose it" said Lily; she clicked a button and all ten of the Sims appeared for a family picture, the photo due- sim pushed the button on the virtual camera…

FLASH!

A/N: I know a cliffie I'm evil, but to make things straight, I know that they take the picture before they get a house but you now know why I put it last. I know that the chapter has slightly boring stuff and wasn't that funny, but this was a very hard chapter to write so please review and the next chapter I promise will be good! (I have half of it written out, I know it will be good!)
