A/N: Heheh, hey, guys! :$ I feel really bad about not updating this for over a month. I won't give you any excuses except for the fact that I was choosing to focus more on schoolwork, but... yeah.

So here you go, and I'll say sorry one more time (sorry!). Keep in mind that this is the penultimate (next to last) chapter, though. So there's only one more update left.

I shall now reply to everyone!

To life1428: Well, as you can see, it is continued :) And thanks, I try to make my stories humorous :)

To DorkQueen: Thank you! I see you've commented on some of my other stories (particularly the Jily ones ;)), and I thank you for that as well. :)

To Hades'-Kid: I'll take your ':)' as a compliment and say thanks! ;)

To N.H (aka my best Potterhead friend): Dawww, thank you so much! :D I SHALL AT YOUR REQUEST. :)

To Clessa Winters, otherwise known as my internet writing (check out her stories! They're amazing!) buddy: Haha, thank you :) I really wanted to explore the marauders in their later Hogwarts years, and not before all that bad stuff happened, so... poof, a story! ;)

To Em: Thank you! I'm sorry for keeping you waiting so long. :$

"JAMES POTTER, YOU GET YOUR ARSE BACK HERE NOW!" Lily shouted, tailing James and his insufferable prat of a best mate.

She had no bloody clue what had possessed them. Of all things they could have stolen, they had to steal her KNICKERS? And to top that off, they just had to paste them onto the Common Room walls!

Lily cursed in a very unLily-like way as she kicked her pumps off and sped up, throwing a hex at the two Marauders. "GET BACK HERE!"

James shot her one plainly terrified look over her shoulder, and ran even faster away. At that pace, the two seventeen-year-old boys would easily escape.

Damn it, Lily thought, pursing her lips in annoyance. I'll just have to resort to desperate measures.

So she stunned them.

When James Potter woke up with a huge goose-egg on the back of his head, he knew he was a goner. Of course, that may have had something to do with the fact he was tied to a chair.

"What the hell?" He yelped, noticing that Sirius was beside him in the same predicament.

"Well," Sirius responded flatly. "I reckon Lily doesn't like her underwear being plastered to the walls of the Common Room."

"No dung, Dumbledore!" He said frustratedly. "They'll kill us! We need to escape!"

Abruptly, James felt hot breath on the back of his neck. "You won't be able to escape," His girlfriend whispered in his ear. "I made sure."

Both boys whipped their necks around that they got whiplash, and found that the redheaded devil that was both James' favourite fantasy and worst nightmare was standing right behind you.

Get my coffin ready, Mum, he thought miserably.

Lily stood in front of James, smirking slightly. "Now that we've got that covered," She said in a sweetly sick way, smiling her 'you're about to die a painful death' smile. "We've got some things to discuss."

She stepped forward then, and slapped him across the face. "HOW DARE YOU?"

Lily watched with an almost sadistic pleasure as James whimpered, looking plainly terrified for his own life. "I-I'm sorry, Lily," He stuttered. "I didn't mean any harm! I wasn't trying to hurt you or embarrass you or anything else!"

Beside James, Sirius was trying and failing to hide his fear. "It- it was just a little bit of fun, Lil," He told Lily nervously.

"A BIT OF FUN? A BIT OF FUN?" She yelled both angrily and incredulously. "PASTING MY KNICKERS UP AGAINST THE COMMON ROOM WALL FOR ALL TO SEE IS A BIT OF FUN?"

Lily still couldn't believe that they had done such a thing. She felt both her face and her tone of voice soften into disappointment as she looked her boyfriend in the eyes. "I thought better of you, James. I shouldn't have expected anything less from Sirius, but you… I thought you were better than that, James. Until you realize that… we're over."

And with tears in her eyes and feeling like her heart was about to tear into half, Lily walked out of her dormitory.

James had never felt so heartbroken in his entire life. He struggled against his bonds, trying to free himself as to get to his girlfriend ("Ex-girlfriend," Said a nasty voice inside his head) and apologize profusely. "Lily!" He called after her, struggling harder than ever. "LILY!"

"Calm down, James," Sirius said from behind him in one of the softest voices James had ever heard his best mate use. "Here."

Sirius waved his wand (how he still had it, James wasn't sure), and the ropes binding James fell off easily.

"Thanks, mate," James said miserably.

Sirius walked over to James and clapped him on the shoulder. "Everything will be fine, Prongs. Lily probably just needs some time to cool off."

Right, James thought sarcastically. Because Lily's never been known to hold grudges. "I still need to find her and apologize," James told his best mate bitterly. "For being an utter prick."

And without looking back, he walked straight out of the dormitory, just like Lily had only a few minutes prior.

Lily Evans had just found a nice, deserted broom closet to cry her eyes out in when her prick of a boyfriend (Now ex-boyfriend, her brain reminded her sadly) walked in and sat down opposite from her. "Lily, I'm really sorry," James said quietly. "I know it was really mean to do so."

"But if it was really mean, James, then why did you do it?" Lily sniffed as she hastily mopped up her eyes.

James moved closer to her and wiped her tears away with the pads of his thumbs. "I… I don't know, Lily. I guess I just wanted to get back at you girls and didn't think of the consequences. I even told them that I didn't think it was such a good idea, but they just waved it off and so I just went with it. I'm really sorry, love. I didn't mean to hurt you or make you sad or anything! I really didn't! If it makes you feel better, I tried to not look at them when I was putting them in the bag, and-"

Lily never waited to hear what James was going to say, because she could tell that James really was upset about it, and he was really cute when he rambled, so she just kissed him.

"You're forgiven," She whispered against his lips. James only grinned in response as he pulled her closer.

:) THEY'RE KISSING! :3

Review, please? *gives you the puss-in-boots eyes*
