QUOTE #2

Lily stomped up to her dormitory, frantically searching through her trunk. "He has it, I know he does…" she grumbled to herself.

"Who has what?" Lily turned to see Sirius Black standing in her doorway.

"How'd you get up here?" Lily asked, knowing the stairs turn into a slide if a boy tries to come up.

"Magic," Sirius replied. "Who had what?" he repeated.

"James," Lily growled, and Sirius burst out laughing. "I knew it! He does have my wand doesn't he?" Sirius continued to laugh. "I'm going to kill him!"

"Lily, he's only 16, he's got a lot to live for I'm sure." Sirius wiped a tear from his eye. "How are you going to get your wand back?" he asked as Lily slammed her trunk close. She stood there for a moment, contemplating. Then she looked at Sirius with a joyful grin on her face.

"I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse," Lily said simply and then patted Sirius on the head as she passed him in the door way.


An Hour later, Lily found James in the great hall, eating lunch with Remus and Peter. "James Potter!" Lily stormed over to the boys.

"Told you she'd kill him," Peter whispered to Remus, who nodded. James on the other hand, looked up at Lily with a smug look on his face.

"Yes Lily," James said.

"Hand it over," Lily held out her hand.

"but whatever are you talking about?" James feigned innocence.

"Don't play stupid Potter." Lily said. "Give me my wand." James then stood up, and Lily remembered the height difference between her and James. She looked up at him, a head shorter than him, but the same angry fire was in her eyes.

"Make me," James said. Lily rolled her eyes.

"Fine, you child." Lily said. "If you give me my wand, I will let you kiss me." James' eyebrows went up. "Right here, right now, for three seconds."

"Ten," James said immediately.

"Five," Lily argured.

"You dare negotiate with the one who has your wand?" Lily placed her hands on her hips and James chuckled. "Okay, how about 7?" Lily rolled her eyes again but nidded. "Great, then…" He reached into his robes and produced Lily's wand. "This is for you," he handed her the wand. "And this is for me." Next thing Lily knew, James had spun her around and dipped Lily, bringing her into a passionate kiss.

3 seconds…5 seconds…10 seconds…

They kept kissing. Remus and Peter looked at each other awkwardly before Sirius joined them at the table. He looked at James and Lily for a moment, shrugged, and turned to the boys at the table. "What'd I miss?"
