"No Sirius, I wont do it," said the 3rd Year James Potter.
He walked into the Gryffindor Common Room with Sirius hot on his tail.
"Come on, it'll be funny" whined Sirius, giving his best attempt at an argument.
"I want to be mature, so I will not throw rocks at the Giant Squid" said James firmly, he stole a quick glance over by the fire where Lily was quietly reading; determined to ignore them.
"You're only saying that because he is Lily's preferred date" teased Sirius.
"Of course not, I want to be mature and so should you" he said finally, stamping his foot on the ground.
"Fine, I will peer pressure someone else," said Sirius marching out of the room.
"Fine!" yelled James after him.
James walked over to the couch next to Lily and sighed, he slumped down on the couch and looked depressed.
Lily continued to read her book.
James wriggled around, desperate to get her attention.
She continued reading.
James let out a huge sigh.
She continued reading although eyebrows were cross.
James stood up and stretched before slamming back into the couch with an even louder sigh.
Lily slammed her book shut, "What?" she demanded.
"I was just wondering if I could talk to you," said James quietly.
Lily looked a bit ashamed for acting so rude.
"Its just" began James, "I don't want to be so immature anymore but I still want to be best friends with Sirius, What do I do?"
Lily smiled, "once Sirius sees how fun it is being mature, then he will want to do it too" she said.
James smiled, he was actually having a decent conversation with Lily, "that's true"
Lily looked pleased with herself.
"What are you reading?" asked James politely.
Lily could almost pee with joy. She began to go into a lengthy discussion about what she was reading, what she thought was good, bad, incorrect and so on.
James sat in admiration, watching her as she spoke barely taking in anything she was saying.
Lily got up, "I will be back in a second"
She walked up to her dorms although turned around and added, "I am so glad you stopped listening to Sirius and his 'Sirius' help"
James just grinned in his love struck grin.
Once Lily was out of view, Sirius came bounding in through the door.
"Hey Prongsie, hows everything?" he asked.
"Um Sirius?" asked James, "Why are you all wet?"
Sirius was drenched from head to toe, his hair dripping all over the place.
He shrugged, "I was throwing rocks at the Giant Squid, like I said" he said casually.
"But I didn't think you would do it" said James, "You were just supposed to say you were"
"But where the fun in that?" complained Sirius
"Point taken," said James
"Wait but why are you wet?" asked James.
"Giant Squid pulled me in" said Sirius, "But hows operation, trick Lily going?"
"Perfectly" said a satisfied James.
Lily walked down the stairs and up to James and Sirius. She stood behind the soaking wet Sirius and before she could say anything, Sirius began speaking again.
James saw her standing there and tried to signal to Sirius.
"So she heard our fight, you were 'sensitive'" he said counting on his fingers, paying no attention to James, "you told her you wanted to be mature and then-"
James cut him off, "The flower is behind you, I repeat, the flower is behind you"
Sirius spun around to see an angry Lily with hands on hips.
"So it was you!!" shouted Lily.
"Look Evans" said Sirius uneasily.
"And you!" shouted Lily at James.
"Now, Now flower," said James scared out of his brain.
"You tricked me!" she shouted, clearly distressed that she fell for the trick.
Without warning she slapped the two of them with one simple hand movement.
The boys rubbed their red cheeks as Lily picked up her book and stormed off.
"Sorry!" shouted James after her.
"Bit late for that man" said Sirius patting James on his back.
James spun around and pointed his finger at Sirius, "You" he accused.
"Yes its me," said Sirius, "good to see you know what's what" he tapped James on the head.
"Everything was going along swimmingly," said James
"Yes it was, I should know," said Sirius, pointing to his soaking wet clothes.
James ignored his comment, "And then you BLEW IT" he shouted.
"That's a little over reacted," said Sirius feeling uncertain.
"If you think the Giant Squid was vengeful, wait until you meet the rath of JAMES POTTER" said James taking steps towards Sirius.
Each step he took, Sirius would step back.
"Oh, My, God" said Sirius before sprinting full speed out of the common room.
"You can run but you certainly cant hide…for long" and with that, James went in search of Sirius.
A/N
I never thought I would write another chapter for this story but I guess avoiding homework can do weird things to a person. I hope you enjoyed it, I wasn't really sure on what to write so I just made it up as I went along.
Thanks for reading
