Chapter 5: New Rooms and Stupid Questions
"What do you mean?" Ella asked with some of Claire's excitement rubbing off on her.
"Well you see it is kind of for the Heads of the school meaning that James will be sleeping in the other room. Even if we do decide to do that, it is ok with me but we have to make sure that we don't get caught." Lily said preparing herself for someone to blow up at her.
There was a silence as they thought it over. Ella was the first to break it.
"Well if we do get caught than it is ok. I am tired of hiding it from them and especially Remus. They are all our friends and we should be able to tell them even if it will hurt them." She stated bravely.
"Well, if you have to tell them, we will be right there with you, so you don't need to worry about that" Claire replied as she gave her werewolf friend a hug.
"Well it is settled. But before we move our stuff I just want to say that THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST YEAR EVER." Lily screamed making Claire and Ella laugh as they gathered their things and left their former dormitory.

"Hey guys" James said as he walked into his old dorm. When he entered he laughed at the site. Remus was sitting on his bed reading a Charms book, Peter was eating a sandwich that was obviously found under his bed because it was covered in hair and smelt like socks. But what he found was really funny was the fact that Sirius was wearing a mini-skirt, high heels and a women's top while staring at his bum.
"Sirius! What the bloody hell are you doing?" James asking holding the urge to burst out in laughter. "And where did you get the clothes?"
"Its Lily's and I got bored. Don't I look just irresistible?" he said putting on a girly voice.
James simply coughed.
"Sirius, Remus can I talk to you outside?" he asked suddenly nervous
Peter looked at him with a suspicious look on his face. All James said was "it about girls". Peter just turned back to his sandwich knowing that he wouldn't be able to offer much advice.
"Um yeah, just let me change my clothes" Sirius said pulling on pants but not bothering with a top. When they got outside James informed them about the situation and they offered to help him when telling Peter.
When they got back into the room they found Peter lying on his bed groaning as his stomach was now aching from the sandwich he ate.
"I told you not to eat it but did you listen? NO" Remus said walking over to his bed and Sirius and James just followed.
"Peter I have to tell you something" James said shifting himself into a comfortable position.
"What is it?"
Well, err, you see" he started but Sirius cut in.
"Dumbledore has given James his own room and a shared common room with Lily and he asked us to say with him. There is only room for three people so this means that you will have to move at a dorm with Frank Longbottom."
"Well yeah basically, what Sirius said" James said rubbing his growing headache.
"It is not that James doesn't want to share a dorm with you it is just that there is not enough for all four of us." Remus said sympathetically.
"It's ok and besides we can have sleepover parties, but if you go out after hours come and get me" Peter said smiling all the same.
"So you mean you are not upset?" James asked shocked.
"No. At least now I will be able to sleep without Sirius snoring in my ear" he replied grinning.
"I am gonna let that insult slip, but just this once" Sirius said grinning just the same.
"Thanks Wormtail. We better go, grab your stuff" James told Remus and Sirius as he stood up.
Ten minutes later everything was re-packed and they left the dorm leaving Peter groaning and holding his stomach.
They met the girls outside the portrait waiting for them.
"Hi there" Claire said not even looking up from her clapping she was playing with Ella.
"Finally. Did Dumbledore tell you the password cause I forgot?" lily asked smiling up at James.
"Chocolate Frogs" the portrait opened and everyone carried their luggage but when they saw the room they gasped and dropped their bags.
The boys looked at each other and at the same time they yelled
"DAMN" the girls looked at them for a moment before laughing and carrying their things to Lily's room and soon after the boys did the same.
When they entered lily room there were three beds. Next to each bed was a nightstand. There was a bookshelf on the far wall and a large wall overlooking the grounds of Hogwarts. They each chose a bed and looked around for a while.
"Has anyone else realised that there is no wardrobe? Where are our clothes going to go?" Claire asked. All of a sudden they heard Lily scream from inside a door that they assumed was the bathroom. When they went to go see what it was they were as shocked and screamed as well. There was a large walk in wardrobe. It was split up into three large different sections (one for each of them). They all simply stood there shocked.
"OMG, I have always wanted a walk in wardrobe. This is so cool" Lily said breaking the silence between them. The door opened and all the boys ran through the door looking around frantically.
"They have been kidnapped! OMG! We have to save them" came the voice of Sirius Black.
"Padfoot, I doubt that very much" Remus said shaking his head at his 'friend'.
"Hey I found them." James said walking into the wardrobe.
"Hey girls. What is this room?" he asked not having a clue. "Is it a cubby house? Cool."
Before he could say anything else Sirius walks in as well screaming "CUBBY HOUSE"
The girls looked at each other with raised eyebrows. They each left the room hitting both boys on their way out.
Remus was looking at the book shelf when they went to sit on their beds.
"Hey why did you have to hit us?" Sirius asked laying on Lily's bed leaving no room for her so she just sat on he is stomach.
"Because that was the most stupid question to ask?" Claire snapped back in playful manner.
At that moment James jumped on her bed squishing her in the process, and a fight broke out between them. So far James was winning until Claire kicked him in his sensitive spot as he likes to call is and she rolled and was now straddling him.
"Please tell me they didn't ask what that room was?" Remus said as he gracefully and peacefully sat on his girlfriend's bed and putting an arm around her.
"Mmmhmm" they chorused together.
"Have you guys ever heard of a walk in wardrobe?" he asked. Looking at their confused faces he went onto explaining it to them.
Twenty minutes later they have given up and changed the subject.
"So when is the next Ball gonna be?" Claire said jumping up and down making James groan in pain as she was still sitting on his stomach.
"First of all we just got back and haven't even had a meeting yet and, second of all I would prefer if it was Lily sitting on my stomach. Can't you two swap?" James asked getting agitated.
"Well first of all, you should be planning this stuff and have at least one Ball planned by now and second of all, if I was to swap spots with Lily that would mean I would have to sit on Sirius' stomach. " Claire copied James making everyone laugh except Sirius.
"What's wrong with my stomach it is much better than James' and I have abbs." Sirius complained back.
"I do to have abbs" James said standing up and taking his top off for everyone to see his perfect tanned and toned body. Lily gasped.
"Oh yeah well look at mine." Sirius said copying James' actions. "Mine is obviously better but I guess we can have a voting"
"Ok put your hand up if you think that my muscles are better than his" James said looking around the room. Claire raised her hand.
"Ok now put your hand up for mine" Sirius said and lily put her hand up.
"Well I feel betrayed. Thanks alot lily" James said looking at her. She couldn't tell if her was joking or not.
"The only reason we voted for our brothers is because we helped make those muscles." Claire said getting up and walking over to them.
"Yeah, I mean we are the ones that had to sit on your back while you did thousands of push ups. We had better things to do but we were nice enough to help. " Lily added raising one eyebrow.
"Well what about Remus and Ella?" Sirius asked the couple who were busy talking about Ancient Runes.
"Did someone say my name?" they both asked at the same time.
"Guys it is hopeless. Just give up and go to bed. It is already 11:00 and we can't be tired for our first day." Lily said but the guys just looked at her.
"Ok take the hint and piss off" Claire said to her brother mostly.
"Fine I can see when we are not wanted" James said as the boys left but not before getting a nice long kiss from their boyfriends.
"Well how about a good night kiss for Sirius huh?" Sirius asked Claire leaning in. He didn't quite get a kiss but a hit on the back of the head and ending up on the floor.
Everyone turned around to see Sirius on the floor swearing and Claire looking at him with a pleased look on her face.
"I guess we will be going now before a war breaks out" Remus said dragging both boys away.
The girls got changed and headed for bed but not before Sirius ran into the room yelling SLUMBER PARTY. The girls were about to kick him out but James and Remus came and dragged him out of the room.
Even from outside the door they cause hear him say "What are you doing? There are three hot babes in there in their pyjamas and you are telling me to behave? What the hell is wrong with you?"
They simply laughed and went to bed.
