A/N: Thanks for the reviews we'll let you get right to reading and say nothing more.
As soon as everyone was finished eating their ice cream, they split up to finish shopping for their school supplies. Meghan, Rose and James went to get new dress robes while Lily, Sirius and Remus remained at Florean Fortescues Ice Cream Parlor, and then decided to head to the Apothecary to buy some potion ingredients for the school year.
When James, Meghan and Rose walked into Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions they found it surprisingly empty. The bell above the door rang as they stepped into the shop letting Madam Malkin know that she had customers. As the door closed a small rather thin woman came hustling over to them.
"Hello children!" she greeted happily. "How may I help you this morning?"
"Well we all need new dress robes." James stepped up and answered.
"I see, I see, well since there's one of me and three of you I'll do my best to work as fast as possible." She weakly smiled.
"Oh, no it's fine, please take your time." Rose said kindly as Madam Malkin lead them towards the back of the shop to stand on stools so that she could measure them.
Madam Malkin smiled, and waved her wand at three measuring tapes, which immediately sprung to life and began taking the measurements of the three students at once. When they were done with all of the measurements that were necessary, the three measuring tapes flew back to Madam Malkin.
"Alright, let's start with you." She pointed at Rose, and then motioned for her to follow as Madam Malkin led her into a small area filled with mirrors. She quickly turned around. "I'll be right with you two." Before the two could answer, she whipped around and disappeared into the room with Rose.
Meghan and James took a seat in two overstuffed chairs near the stools they were recently standing on. James turned to Meghan.
"So would you rather die drowning or burned to death?" he asked.
"Well I've always loved to swim so drowning would make me like swimming less, but burning sounds so…painful."
"Did you picture death as the most joyful thing of your life?" James looked at Meghan awkwardly.
"Well no I mean death has got to suck but…seriously, this has to be the most depressing conversation we've ever had."
"Sorry the question just popped into my head." James said sheepishly.
"God, if only there were something in your head to control the things you say." Meghan said sarcastically.
James shook his head.
"So what should we talk about?" he asked.
"Well we could talk about your undying love for Lily Evans." Meghan smirked knowing this would set James off. She was right.
"What are you talking about? I don't love her, I barely even like her!" he said.
"Hmmmm, the high, squeaky, girly voice and inability to lie says otherwise."
"Oh come on, you can't be serious." He said his voice lowering to normal once more.
"Oh, but I am, 'Ah I don't care. I can keep hexing Snape! And got him for Lily.'" Meghan mimicked James in a low voice sounding nothing like him at all.
"Okay if I really sound like that please kill me, I don't care if it's drowning or burning, just do it." He laughed.
"Don't change the subject." She said sternly. "I think it's cute, you know the smart, sweet, pretty girl falls for the rough, hot, trouble making guy."
"You think I'm hot?"
"No it just sounded more movie-like that way."
"Oh admit it, you think I'm hot."
"You wish," Meghan laughed, and stuck her tongue out at him.
"Well aren't we mature."
"No. Now stop changing the subject!"
"I wasn't changing the subject!" James said innocently, batting his eyes at Meghan, who just looked at him strangely.
"So you're talking like a girl and batting your eyes. You're such a woman."
"I'm not a woman!"He began angry but then looked down at his chest "That'd be weird, Can you imagine me with boobs?"
"No, not really."
"Yeah, that's like imagining you with boobs."
"Hey!"
"Well it's true."
"Yeah, you're right it is," Meghan gave in as Rose walked out into the room.
"You're next," She said, pointing to Meghan. As Meghan got up, Rose sat down next to James.
"So would you rather die drowning or burned to death?" he asked again
"Hmmm…I'd say drowning, burning has got to be pretty painful. Plus it makes more sense cause you put out the fire by jumping in the water, and then you drown..." Rose rambled, and James looked at her strangely.
"You're really weird, you know that right?"
"Yeah, and I really don't give a shit. It's not like your much better though, seeing as you go around asking people if they'd rather be burnt to death or drown."
"Touché," James laughed. "But it's not like I go up to random people on the street and ask them that question."
"For all I know you do," Rose grinned. "But I bet there's one person you haven't asked."
"Who?" James asked, having a feeling on where the conversation was going.
"Lily," Rose said slyly, and James groaned.
"For the millionth time.I don't like Lily!"
Rose grinned feeling satisfied with what she had done.
"Y'know, you look way too much like Sirius when you smirk." James said, Rose's smile was whiped from her face, and she glared at James. "A little touchy on the subject, are we?" he smirked, and Rose continued to glare at him. "Well I must say, you're much easier to change the subject on then Meghan."
"So you have a reason to change the subject?" Rose asked, amused. "Would that reason be you don't wanna admit you're in love with Lily Evans?"
"OH MY GOD NO!"
"Oy James, you're next," Meghan grinned, and James immediately jumped up to follow Madam Malkin. "What the hell did you do to him Rose?"
"No clue."
Lily sat down after buying a glass of pumpkin juice for everyone. She, like Sirius and Remus, had bought all the stuff they needed for the school year and were waiting for James, Meghan and Rose to buy a new set of dress robes.
As she set Sirius' cup down in front of him, his words re entered her thoughts, and she began arguing with herself.
"I don't like James!" she thought angrily. "He's a pig headed arrogant bastard."
"But he did stand up for me." she contradicted her last thouhgt
"Who cares that's one time, and that doesn't make up for the million things he has done that makes him an ass."
"Like beat up the Slytherins, i don't blame him, if i weren't a prefect and soon to be head girl i would too."
Her argument was cut short when Sirius and Remus' conversation interupted her thouhghts. She was partially relived.
"I'm bored; I mean how long does it take to make a stinking dress robe?" Sirius whined as Remus rolled his eyes.
"When's the last time you made a dress robe?" Remus asked.
"Well never, but we are wizards aren't we? I mean isn't it just a wave of your wand and a perfect dress should appear." Sirius said
"Sorry Sirius not as many people are as skilled as you." Remus said sarcastically.
"It's an honest mistake."
Remus rolled his eyes again.
"These beers don't taste like beer." Sirius complained after a moment of silence.
"That's weird… seeing as it's pumpkin juice!" Lily said sarcastically, taking a sip from her cup.
"This is pumpkin juice? Oh well, that explains it." Sirius examined his half empty cup, shrugged, and took another big gulp. "What do you want to do when we get home?"
"Well Rose and I have to go back to our house seeing as we haven't seen our parents in over a day." Remus said.
"I haven't seen my parents in over a year and I'm completely fine with that." Sirius said.
"I have to go back to my house too." Lily said.
"You all suck." Sirius pouted. His spirits suddenly lifted when he saw three familiar faces walking towards him. "Prongs! Thank god you're back I'm so bored, and not drunk." He glared at Lily who shook her head.
"Padfoot, it's been not even a half an hour." James said sitting down next to Remus.
"Wow you're pathetic." Remus laughed.
"Am not." Sirius pouted.
"Wow pathetic, low attention span, and now this, he really is a 4 year old trapped in a 17 year old's body." Meghan said, shaking her head.
Sirius turned his head away from her.
"And now he's giving you the silent treatment." Rose laughed.
"Case closed." James said.
"You're supposed to be on my side!" Sirius said looking at his friend.
"Your side of what?" James asked.
"Wow that lasted almost a minute, that's a new quiet record for you Sirius." Lily said
Sirius ignored her and went on with the conversation.
"My side of anything! It's part of being a marauder!" Sirius said.
"I thought being a marauder was just pranking kids and Slytherins. Oh, and of course getting girls," Rose laughed.
"Well that's just the fun part; there is some hard work too." Remus said with fake seriousness. "C'mon, Rose. We should get home."
"Okay. Bye guys!" she said, and she and Remus vanished.
"Yeah I better go too." Lily said looking at her muggle watch that was given to her by her father, and a few seconds later she too was gone.
James and Sirius both apparated to James' house, closely followed by Meghan.
"Well I better go home, my mom is expecting me." Meghan said in less than a thrilled voice.
"Bye Meghan." James and Sirius said as Meghan exited the house.
"I'll come back later definitely." She said, and closed the door behind her, leaving Sirius and James alone.
"Let's play 'guess what I'm thinking!' I'll go first." Sirius said giving James no choice in whether or not he wanted to play. "Okay you're thinking about Lily?"
"No and what is it with people and thinking that I like Lily?"
"Who thinks you like her?" Sirius asked
"Meghan, Rose and now you." He answered
"Well anyways you're thinking about how mad you are that people think you like Lily." Sirius said.
"How did you guess?" James said sarcastically.
"Not only do I have the good looks but I have the brains."
"Yeah, okay." James laughed quietly.
"Now guess what I'm thinking."
"Okay you're thinking of a Turkey and meatball sandwich." James said without thinking or pausing. "Ew, by the way."
"Damn it, how do you do that?" Sirius asked in shock.
"Legilimency." James said simply.
"You cheated."
"The games had no rules."
"Well it does now."
"Good thing it has rules now that it's over."
Sirius crossed his arms and sat down.
"I'm mad at you." He said
"I'm sorry do you want a turkey and meatball sandwich?"
"Well we're best friends so I can't stay mad at you forever." Sirius said perking up immediatly and running into the kitchen.
James shook his head,
"Unbelievable." He said to himself following his best friend into the kitchen.
