Sirius Competition

I don't own HP. J. K. Rowling does.

The next morning the group met up at that lake again.

"What's up, Evans? Kissed anyone recently?" Sirius smiled while James and Lily blushed.

"Shut up, Padfoot. Lily, it's your turn." James mumbled, obviously embarrassed.

"Okay, Um... Severus, Truth or Dare?" Lily smiled at her greasy haired friend.

"Dare," Snape smiled back at her. He knew she just wanted to save him from Sirius and James.

"Umm..." Remus whispered something into Lily's ear. Lily looked at him in shock. "Should I?" Remus nodded.

"WHAT?" Snape asked, impatiently.

"Wash your hair!" Sirius said.

"NO, I dare you to switch places with Sirius. In other words, you act like Sirius and Sirius acts like you." James laughed at Lily's dare while Sirius looked horrified. "For a day."

"So we have to wait a full 24 hours before the next dare. This will be interesting," Remus grinned.

"Moony- told- her- to- do -it!" James said, laughing.

"I actually like this," Sirius said.

"Okay- start now!" Lily commanded. Sirius started picking things out of his hair like a dog. James laughed hard at this. Snape just stood there.

"Move Severus!" Remus called.

"I'm bored," Snape smiled. He then took out his wand. "Hey James, watch this! Levicorpus!" Sirius was pulled into the air by his ankle.

"SEVERUS!" Lily shrieked. James was no longer laughing.

"Put. Him. Down." James drew his own wand.

"I'm just being Sirius," Snape said innocently.

"Liberacorpus!" James yelled. Sirius landed on the ground.

"YOU IDIOT!" He bellowed. Sirius now drew his wand.

"Guys. GUYS. Stop it!" Lily warned.

"Expelliarmus!" Remus and Lily said together. Sirius and Snape's wands flew out of their hands.

"James don't hex Sev," Lily said.

"Sev? You have nickname for this MONSTER?" James sounded angry.

"MONSTER? HE WAS JUST BEING YOU!" Lily raised her voice then stormed off.

"She's got some anger issues..." Sirius mumbled to James, hoping for a smile. James just frowned.

"You guys get your wands back tomorrow," Remus said before chasing after Lily. Snape just walked away. James and Sirius sat down.

"Not really following the dare are we?" Sirius grinned. "That means Sevvy is out!"

"Lily?" Remus had expected Lily to be crying her eyes out or something, but she was just sitting, reading in the common room.

"Hi, Remus," Lily looked up.

"So... sorry."

"For what?" Lily closed her book.

"Telling you to say that dare."

"Haha... that's fine."

"So I guess Severus is out?"

"Wait- why?"

"He wasn't exactly being Sirius by going to talk with his death eater- I mean Slytherin- friends."

"They are all death eaters. Or they will be."

"So... um... are you mad at James?" Remus said awkwardly.

"Not really."

"Then why'd you run off?" Remus wasn't planning to ask this question, it just slipped out.

"I didn't want to see what they would do to Sev."

"Oh. Do you like James?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"You know, as a friend."

"I don't know... he does annoy me a lot... I guess."

"Oh."

"Are you going to tell James what I'm saying right now?"

"No." Remus would, but he thought maybe Lily would feel safer.

"Well then yes."

"Yes?"

"He's a friend."

Please keep reviewing! It makes me smile when I read a review- positive or negative. I'm not going to update until next week. Sorry about that. Thanks for reading!
