Chapter 3-

A/N: Thanks James's Fire, my first and only reviewer! ♥ ya

Lily mouthed to all of them, especially James:"Well now you've done it."

Lily's dad started asking them questions like what they planned to do after Hogwarts, why they were there, where they lived, and what their interests were. He also asked them about their grades and what kind of a reputation they had at school. Mr. Evans had gained everyone's trust, except for James. For some reason, he didn't like him. He mainly favored Remus. Reluctantly, Mr. Evans asked them all to stay for dinner. He mainly did that because Lily was glaring daggers at him for asking them such stupid questions and trying to intimidate them.

After Lily's dad left, James was the first one to comment.

"He doesn't like me, Lily!" James exclaimed

"It must run in the family…" Sirius replied laughing

"Yea…I guess---hey! Wait! You don't hate me do you, Lily, my flower?" James pouted.

Lily just giggled. James was giving her puppy eyes like he always did when he wanted something.

"No, James, I don't hate you….much!" Lily laughed.

James looked hurt. Lily decided to give him a hug because in reality, hate was the furthest thought from her mind when she thought of James. She had hated him in previous years but over this summer, he seemed to have grown up. He was sweet and thoughtful and he adored her. Also, he was really cute with his sweaty bangs hanging in his face and his glasses….

Lily snapped back. All the Marauders were staring at her strangely….oops, Peter had learned Occlumency over the last year. He and Snivellus (Snape) were potions buddies and Peter decided to take advantage of it. He asked the git to teach him Occlumency, or reading people's minds. Snape, thinking Peter was just interested in being friends with him, agreed having no idea he was a marauder.

James said Peter had yelled "LILY! Merlin! I never knew that!" Crap, he knew her thoughts!

"You didn't tell them, did you Peter?" Lily said coldly, glaring daggers at Peter.

"No! But…can I?" Peter asked, knowing he was risking his neck asking that question.

"NOOOOOO!" Lily bellowed.

"What does he know that we don't Lily?" asked James curiously.

"N-nothing, j-just nothing." Lily muttered.

"Lily, James, Remus, Sirius, Peter, Petunia, and Vernon, dinner's ready!" Lily's mother yelled.

Lily knew she must've written all the names down so she wouldn't forget. She kind of laughed to herself because her mom was probably the most mugglish muggle there ever was. When you are a muggle on Privet Drive, you have no life and are desperate to meet new people. That was why her mom had been so intent on learning their names…her mother cracked her up sometimes.

About midway through the meal, James "accidentally" flung potatoes at Petunia landing on her square in the eyes. Lily broke out into a fit of giggles. She knew it wasn't an accident. Lily had told him that he was almost as much of a prat as Petunia in the previous years.

Even Lily's parents laughed a little, too. They agreed that Petunia was a prat ever since Lily had been at Hogwarts. Petunia wanted more attention, so now she had it. She was flirting with Sirius when James had hit her with the flying potatoes. Everyone was staring and trying to hold back their laughter, everyone except Lily who had no problem with laughing in Petunia's ugly face.

"Ugh! You immature git! Mother, did you see what Lily's boyfriend just did to me!" Petunia screamed, Lily blushed, and James grinned.

"I'm sure...it…was a…accident." Lily's mother said trying to hold back her laughing fits.

"I CAN"T BELIEVE YOU JAMES! I ONLY MET YOU 5 MINUTES AGO AND I ALREADY HATE YOU!" Petunia hollered across the long table. Petunia muttered, "Come on, Vernon." and stormed out of the room, Vernon hobbling behind her.

After she left, everyone just broke out into laughter. They were all laughing, except for Mr. Evans; he was keeping a close eye on the infamous potato flinging James Potter, for him, the enemy. He was sure Lily liked him, but Mr. Evans sure didn't.

"Um, mum? Can we be excused?" Lily said with an obvious giggle in her voice.

"Sure, thank you all for staying for dinner!" Mrs. Evans said motioning mostly to James. She hadn't had that much of a laugh in a long time.

"It has been a…erm…pleasure." Mr. Evans said through clenched teeth. James had just smiled at Lily.

They spent the next couple of hours up in her room catching up.

"Let's play Truth or Dare!" Lily exclaimed.

"Ok!" the Marauders said in unison.

"James, Truth or Dare!" Sirius asked.

"Erm…uh…TRUTH!" James said

"Well, you are NO fun….Who do you like?" Sirius said, rather disappointed

"Lily, of course! But if you want to get technical, I don't like her, I love her!" James said confidently.

Lily blushed.

"Oi! Prongs! She's blushing!" Sirius said, rather loudly.

James flashed a grin at Lily which only caused her to blush even more.

"Lily, Truth or Dare?" James said.

"Dare!" Lily said

"I dare you to…kiss me…on the cheek!" James said grinning like an idiot

Seeing as it was a dare, she did, for only a split second. Both of them got goose bumps for that split second though. What she hadn't heard him say was on the cheek, so she didn't.

When they broke apart, he was smiling ear to ear.

"What?" she said.

"I said on the cheek, you did on the lips!"

"Oh, um sorry…" Lily said blushing.

"No problem!" said James, still grinning like an idiot.

"Remus, Truth or Dare?" Lily asked quickly, trying to forget about the embarrassing thing that had just happened. What she didn't know was that her father had been listening to everything outside the door.

A/N: Did you like it? I had potatoes and had an inspiration! Also, I went to a sleepover and we played Truth or Dare. 
