A/N: yes i know it's been a while...school sucks...end of story. i hope those of you that are still alive will review.
James and Meghan walked down to the Quidditch pitch that Friday, late, after they finished classes and (only because Lily made them) finished their homework. The sun was barely hovering over the mountains across the lake and on the other side of the forbidden forest.
"Now here are the rules..." Meghan began.
"Hold on, I never really wanted to help you in the first place so you are not telling me what to do." James said putting his foot down.
"Excuse you? Let me remind you why you gave in, shall I?"
"I thought we vowed never to talk about that again?" James said sheepishly, looking at Meghan as they neared the pitch.
"You left me no choice."
"Actually I think I left you a very open choice." James said.
"OH shut up this is getting us nowhere." Meghan rolled her eyes. "Now as I was saying…the rules…don't even think about interrupting me James Potter…the rules are that you will repeat NONE of what you see or hear to Sirius, no matter how much he begs you. Second, you need to push me, none of that tossing crap, no I want a full out throw. And lastly, and this one's the most important…don't even think about kissing me," Meghan grinned. They entered the pitch, and Meghan grabbed a broom while James grabbed the box containing the Quidditch balls.
"What did you and Gideon cover?" James asked.
Meghan didn't answer
"What did you and Gideon go over?" James repeated a little louder.
Meghan again didn't answer
James sighed.
"Meghan, what did you and Douche-Bag go over?"
"Nothing basically." Meghan said smiling.
"Allright, do you know what position you want to play?" James asked.
"No idea."
"Allright what do you want to start with?" James asked.
"Hold on." Meghan said turning around.
"What?"
"HOLD ON!" she walked to the right away from him and took out her wand and flicked it.
"OW!" Peter screamed jumping up.
Meghan began walking back to James.
"I think…" she cut her sentence short. She turned around again and flicked her wand causing Sirius to howl just like Peter. "Do I look that stupid to you?" She yelled up at Sirius and Peter in the stands.
"Is that a trick question?" Sirius yelled back giggling to himself
"Get out of here." She said and waited for Sirius to exit the pitch. "As I was saying I think we should start with Beater." She smiled.
"So I never can remember, partially because I don't particularly care, but, who's older?" Lily asked Remus and Rose. The three of them sat huddled around a small fire in the common room.
"Me!" Remus said
"Only by like five seconds!" Rose argued
"OH please!"
"Sorry I asked." Lily said throwing her hands over her head. Rose and Remus ignored her and continued their quarrel.
"You just couldn't beat me out." Remus smirked.
"Only cause your fat head was in the way!" Rose shot back.
"OKAY!" Lily yelled causing the argument to stop and Remus and Rose to stare blankly at her. "First of all, SHUT UP! And second, coming out of a uterus is NOT a race."
"WOA!" Sirius exclaimed as he and Peter appeared through the door of the common room. "Why are you girls talking about a uterus?" he asked sexually.
"Dude I'm right here." Remus said offended by the 'girls' Sirius was referring to.
"Exactly, I stand by what I said."
Remus began to open his mouth but Lily quickly interrupted.
"I can't believe it but we're talking about birth."
Sirius quickly threw his hands covering his ears.
"We never talk about that." Sirius said scolding Lily.
"Oh grow up." Rose rolled her eyes
"Oh please we've given up trying to make that happen." Peter laughed.
Later at dinner Lily, Peter, Rose, Sirius, and Remus sat around munching on the food displayed in front of them
Sirius looked up at the great hall entrance.
"Where the hell are they? Dinner started half an hour ago. It's not like Meghan to miss a meal."
"No, that's you Sirius." Remus said.
"Well yeah, but have you seen that girl eat?"
"Yes. But compared to you, she's anorexic." Lily laughed.
"Sorry, I'm a man, a man who needs to fill his tummy." Sirius said and pounded his chest.
"Tummy?" Rose asked. "Does the big strong man wanna take a nap too?"
"No." Sirius pouted crossing his arms.
"How is it again that you get all the girls to fall for you?" Lily asked.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" he winked at her.
"Actually no." Lily said rather calm.
"Aw man, usually they always go for that." Sirius complained.
"By they you mean the slutty prostitutes of our school." Rose said.
"Aw yeah, they're the best." Sirius smiled and leaned back in his chair.
Rose, Lily, Remus and Peter all rolled their eyes in unison.
"That's why Halloween is my favorite holiday." Sirius said.
"Ooookkkay Sirius we can talk about that." Remus said.
"Aw come on it's not random at all, at Halloween all the normally slutty girls go all out and dress like something like a slutty nurse which makes them sluttier." Sirius explained.
"You know I don't think I've ever heard the word slut used as many times in a sentence." Peter said.
"To be honest, I don't think anyone has." Lily said.
"WOOH! World Record!!!!" Sirius cheered causing him to fall backwards tipping his chair over with a crash.
"What a man." Rose said sarcastically.
On their way back up from dinner the group was still discussing Halloween.
"I'm not really sure what to be for Halloween." Lily said.
"Oh I do you should be a…" Sirius began
"NO." Lily cut him off.
"Don't you wanna…"
"Not even a little bit."
"But…"
"Give it a rest." Peter said patting Sirius on the shoulder.
They rounded the corner walking up to the portrait of the Fat Lady.
"Password." She mumbled drearily.
The group turned to Lily.
She rolled her eyes.
"Oh come on guys, I don't even live here anymore!" she complained.
They didn't break their gaze.
"Fine…Toadstool." She gave in, and the door swung open. As they stepped in, they saw James and Meghan sitting on the couch.
"Dude, where were you guys during dinner?"
"Meghan and I were out practicing." James said.
"Is she really that bad?" Sirius whispered.
"Okay, Sirius, although you're whispering I'm right next to you so that sort of cancels the whole whispering thing out." Meghan explained
"Maybe you shouldn't eavesdrop on my private conversations." He smiled.
"Oh jeez what was I thinking?" Meghan said halfhearted. "Next time I'll try to be more deaf."
"It's the least I could ask." Sirius said and before Meghan could argue he continued. "So anyways is she really that bad?" he repeated to James.
"Sure." James said shaking his head.
Meghan rolled her eyes.
"James we should probably go do our rounds now." Lily said looking at her watch.
"Allright." James said standing up. He and Lily walked to the door, waved goodbye and left the remainder of the group.
As soon as they left Sirius spoke up.
"What if they're not doing what we think they're doing?"
"What?" Rose asked.
"I mean 'doing rounds'…I don't think so."
"Oh god Sirius!" Remus exclaimed.
"You never know with those two." Sirius explained.
"Those two? Oh no! James I can see, but Lily? Lily is the most virgin thing on the whole planet." Meghan said in shock. "I don't think she's ever been seen kissing in public."
"Ah but James is very seductive." Sirius winked.
"Okay we're done with this conversation." Rose said getting up.
James and Lily walked through the empty halls together.
"So how is Meghan?" Lily asked James as they turned a corner leading into the dungeons.
"Uhhhh…fine?" James was confused.
"No I mean how is she at Quidditch?"
"Oh…for a second there I thought you meant…well it was dirty."
"Ah I see." Lily raised her eyebrows. "So how was she at Quidditch?" she asked.
"I'm sorry I'm sort of picturing stuff now and well I'm a little shaken up." James avoided looking at Lily.
"Is there something you're trying to keep from me?" Lily asked seeing right through him.
"No, you'd be shaken up too if you had the image of you and Meghan having..."
"Okay! I see now!"
"Actually that'd be kind of kinky."
"You're done." Lily glared daggers at James.
"Fine, but you're never gonna be able to get that mental picture out of my head." James smirked.
"I love how you say fine, but you still keep going." Lily said.
"Okay I'm done for good now." James laughed.
"So anyways…damn I forgot what I was going to say."
"Yes!" James said.
"Ah see you are keeping something from me. Now tell me how Meghan was in Quidditch or I'll hex it out of you." Lily said
"Oh you sneaky little bitch." James laughed.
"Don't try and change the subject."
"Who said I was trying to change the subject?"
"God damn it James Potter you tell me now or I'll…"
"Why do you want to know so badly?" James asked.
"Why do you want to hide it from me so badly?" Lily shot back.
"Fine I'll tell you." James caved.
"Good."
"She was allright." He said.
"That's all?"
"Yep."
"Just allright."
"Uh-huh."
"You're a right smart git you know that." Lily smirked and slapped him on the arm.
"Yeah I've been told that a fair number of times." James laughed
"A fair number?!" Lily laughed. "I think people call you git more than they call you James."
They both laughed and an hour later finished their rounds and headed to bed.
The next morning brought butterflies to many Gryffindor stomachs. It was the day of Quidditch try outs.
Meghan sat eating her cereal at breakfast that morning, when Sirius came up behind her.
"Boo!" he jumped out next to her. She didn't even blink.
"Hey Sirius." Meghan said sounding bored.
"How do you not jump? All the other Quidditch hopefuls nearly peed themselves." Sirius said giving a light chuckle.
"You'd think you'd realize that after 6½ years it's not so effective." Meghan said
"Yeah you'd think that." Remus said from across the table as he took a bite of his muffin.
"Allright Meghan, quit the act, I know you're scared." Sirius said trying to intimidate her.
"Oh yeah, I'm shaking in my boots." Meghan said sarcastically
"I knew it!" Sirius pointed at her.
She, along with the rest of the group rolled their eyes.
"So what position are you trying out for Meghan?" Rose asked as she buttered her toast.
"All of them. Except I think I have the best chance at keeper."
"I doubt you make keeper." Sirius said.
"Oh? And why is that?" Meghan said
"We've been over this; you're a girl there are so many guys reeling for that position." Sirius explained.
"Okay then I bet you that I'll make keeper." Meghan said.
"We're still in the middle of our first bet!" Sirius said.
"What are you scared?" James laughed.
"Fine, you're on." Sirius said.
"What are the stakes?" Meghan asked.
"Uh…I don't know." Sirius shrugged.
"OH! How about, the winner gets to pick the losers Halloween costume." Lily suggested.
"Oooh, that's interesting!" Rose said.
"Fine with me, fine with you?" Meghan said gesturing to Sirius.
"Fine." Sirius replied and they shook hands to make it final. "Oh this is the easiest bet ever!" Sirius said "What do you think Remus, how about a slutty nurse?"
"Oh and James, don't let Sirius give his input about who makes the team. And also be fair on whether or not I make keeper." Meghan said, James nodded.
"Damn!" Sirius said. "Oh well you're still gonna loose."
"We'll see" Meghan smirked.
Meghan grabbed her broom along with the other hopefuls and walked out onto the Quidditch pitch.
James walked over to them and gave them a quick speech and separated them into groups based on what they were trying out for. He started with the beaters.
One by one the students swung at the bludger aiming for a hoop.
Meghan stepped up and glanced at Sirius, he stood confidently with his arms crossed. She smirked as she mounted her broom, club at the ready in her hand. One by one the bludgers cam flying at her in every direction she swung and managed to get 9 out of ten through the hoop perfectly. She smiled and gently floated to the ground handing the club to the next person in line who ended up missing the hoop completely the majority of the time. She glanced to her left and saw Sirius stomping towards where she stood; the smile that was painted on her face grew thinner.
"Where the hell did you learn to do that?" he demanded as a boy named Aaron flew up for his try out.
"Practice." She shrugged knowing she was driving him crazy.
"You've had like 2 practices and now you're good? Meghan seriously I know you better than that." He crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow waiting for her response.
"Oooh did I forget to tell you?"
"Tell me what?" Sirius asked his voice a little shaky.
"You know Gwenog Jones?" she asked.
"Of the Holleyhead Harpies?" he asked.
"Yeah." He said.
"Yeah, she's my aunt."
"WHAT! Why hasn't this come up before? She's so hot and this is so not fair, the bet is off." He said.
"First of all ew that's my aunt you're talking about and second, if you're calling the bet off that means I win." She smirked.
"Damn it! Fine its back on. But you are seriously going to pay when you loose this bet." He said and before she could answer, he walked away.
James stood up and announced that keeper tryouts were beginning, this was it. She grabbed her broom and walked towards the three hoops at the end of the pitch.
Back in the Gryffindor common room Remus, Peter, Rose and Lily found themselves sitting waiting for Meghan, Sirius and James to return.
"Soooo…what do you want to talk about?" Peter asked.
"Not birth, that's for sure." Lily said staring at the ceiling.
Rose laughed.
"Speaking of birth…"
"Okay did you not hear what I just said?" Lily said.
"You brought it up." Rose pointed out.
"As a joke! Okay that's the last time I'm going to try to be funny." Lily smiled.
"Anyways, speaking of birth…wait I can't remember what I was going to say." Rose said.
"Thank god." Lily said quietly causing a pillow to hit her square in the face.
The next thing they knew they were joined by Meghan, Sirius and James at dinner.
"So James when are you going to post it?" Sirius asked.
"Soon don't worry." James said a little annoyed. "Now stop asking me about that."
"Can't you just tell us who made the team?" Sirius asked.
"NO, now stop asking about that." James said.
"James, can you pass the beans?" Remus asked.
"STOP ASKING ME ABOUT…oh sorry Moony." James said.
A few minutes went by in silence.
"Who are you not letting on the team?" Sirius asked.
"Holy fuck!" James raised his wand and pointed it at him. "Silencio!"
Sirius grasped at his throat but no sound came out.
"Normally I wouldn't approve of that..." Lily said. "…but oh my god, thank you!"
After dinner, in the common room, James announced that he was going to post the list. Many people gathered around the bulletin board as he unrolled a piece of paper and stuck it up. James backed away allowing the students to view his choices. Sirius and Meghan stood in the back of the crowd waiting for the rest of the students to clear away.
One by one students left, the majority with sad faces painted upon them. When it was clear Meghan rushed up to the board, Sirius next to her.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!"
