Sorry I took so long! My internet was taken away from me by a lighting bolt that hit my house or near my house. My phone, modem, garage, alarm system, and sprinklers were all burned. I'm so happy to be online. I've read this chapter 5 times, hopefully I didn't make any mistakes. By the way... HARRY POTTER OOTP WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!! I saw it at IMAX with the battle scene in 3D!!! So worth the $12.

Marie looked at Lily with a questioning face and soon understood. "Well, you see Mr. Evans. She did go to my house, but- I missed her so much already that I came over here."

Mr. Evans looked from Lily to Marie, trying to find a glimpse of a lie. "Very well. Go upstairs then."

Lily and Marie ran upstairs into Lily's room and flopped onto her bed.

"Wow. That was close." said Lily looking at her ceiling.

"Had to lie to him so you could go out with James and Sirius?" asked Marie also looking at Lily's gold ceiling.

"Yeah… So what have you been doing?"

"Oh you know the usual. Cleaning, eating, sleeping. It's been a blast!" said Marie turning her head towards Lily.

Lily snorted and covered her mouth with her hands fast.

"Lily Evans! Did you just snort?!"

Lily vigorously shook her head. Her hands still hiding her mouth.

"Oh I think you did! The hottest chick in Hogwarts just snorted! Ha! I wonder if James would find that hot?"

"Potter?! Argh! Don't even mention him. Today was just horrible. Just being with Potter and Black is bad enough, but add Jacob into it and it's horrible!"

"No!"

"Yeah."

"You saw Jacob today? Well since we're back it'll be hard not to see him. I mean he does have lots of friends doesn't he?"

"Yeah. The worst part was when he called me a slut."

"No way!"

"Yeah, you should have seen how Potter reacted. I thought he was going to kill him. It was scary. I've never seen him that angry. Don't look at me that way!"

"Lily!"

"What?!"

"James likes you! Of course he would be angry. Actually I think he loves you."

"Marie Merridew! How dare you make such assumptions?" said Lily sitting up.

"Oh please! Just because you're too daft to see it, doesn't mean it's not there." said Marie doing exactly as Lily.

Lily stared at her window and back at her friend, before laying back down. "I don't know. It just- he can't love me. There's no such thing as love. I mean… look at our parents. They're always fighting. How can I believe in love when I have never even seen a glimpse of it?"

"Just give him a chance Lily. He can be really sweet when you get past the arrogance, cockiness, pranks, big headedness-"

"Er… That's a lot to get past. Are you sure there's a nice Potter underneath all of that? I would hate to go into the trouble of getting past that when there's nothing more."

"Yes. Now where is my Sirius?" said Marie craning her neck to look into James' bedroom.

Lily got a pillow from her head and smacked Marie's head. Marie lost her balance and fell forward onto the floor. She touched her head and looked up. Lily was laughing on her bed clutching her stomach. Marie glared at her and jumped on her. The air was knocked out of Lily.

"Oh god! You fat cow! Get off of me!"

"I'm not fat!"

"Well you weigh a ton!"

Marie grabbed the nearest pillow and hit Lily. "Take that back!"

"No. Now get off before you make me hurt you."

"Oh really? What is little Lily going t- Ahhhh!"

Lily had pushed Marie off of her onto the floor. "You know Marie. You should spent less time on the floor. It might be harmful for your 5 brain cells."

"Well, I would have more than 5 if you would stop hitting me!"

"Me?! Hit you?! NOO! I would never!" said Lily putting her best innocent face.

"Hey look James is in his room. I can ask him about your snorting." she ran towards the window and opened it as fast as she could. "Hey James!"

James was walking towards his bed when he saw Marie at the window. "Marie? What are you doing here?"

"Visiting Lily. I have a question for you James- ouf!"

Lily had tackled Marie. "Don't you dare!"

She scrambled from Lily's grasp and stuck her head out the window. "What do you-ouf!"

Lily had pulled her leg and was reaching to close the window.

"Oh no you don't!" Marie grabbed Lily's legs and pulled her down.

"What do you think about- ouf!"

James was very entertained watching the two girls fight. He heard Marie say "Now really Lily! This is getting too childish! Hey! Hey! Stop it! No! Lily… what are you doing? Why do you have rope? Ouch ouch! Watch the hair! WATCH THE HAIR!"

Marie escaped Lily's arms and said really fast, "What do you think about Lily snorting? AHHHH! SAVE ME!!! SHE'S GOING TO KILL ME!"

Marie was pulled down again. James saw Lily drag Marie out of her room. Her arms holding onto the door frame. When he saw the last of Marie disappear he laughed and went to get Sirius.

James ran down stairs into the kitchen and saw Sirius with his butt sticking out of the refrigerator. James smacked his butt and said, "Hey there gorgeous."

Sirius squealed and looked at James with indignation. "What the bloody hell was that for? James, you aren't going gay on me are you?"

"Haha! Please Padfoot. The day I go gay is the day you stop eating."

Sirius glared at him and bit into a turkey leg. "What do you want?"

James looked appalled. "Can't I just talk to my bestest friend ever?"

"No."

"Well if you must know. Merridew was just taken hostage by Lily."

"Merridew? Lily?" Sirius screwed up his face as he thought. "Oh! Marie is at Lily's house!"

"Took you long enough."

"Does she live near here?"

"Well I guess so. It wasn't very long ago that we got here."

"We should go back to that ice cream parlor. That ice cream was delicious!"

"Too bad Lily hates us more now."

"Cheer up mate. She can't hate you forever… Actually since it is Lily she might."

"Gee thanks."

"No problem. That's why you have me. Ouch!" James had smacked Sirius' head. "Come on let's go see if they're back in Lily's room."

The boys ran upstairs skipping a stair at a time. When they got there they saw Marie hopping away from Lily. She had ropes tied around her arms and legs. Apparently Lily had tied her down, but Marie hopped away. When she saw the boys she hopped over to them. "Help me!"

Sirius took out his wand and levitated Marie out of Lily's window. She was half way to James room when Lily stuck her hand out and grabbed Marie's leg.

"Lily let go!" said Sirius still levitating Marie.

"You let go Black!"

"Fine. You brought it to yourself." Sirius gripped his wand tighter and made his spell stronger. With one movement he brought Marie fly into James' room. Since Lily was holding onto Marie she toppled out of her window. Lily screamed and closed her eyes waiting for the painful impact.

Lily slowly opened one eye and saw forks and spoons, but she wasn't on them. She was floating! Opening the other eye she saw James holding his wand out pointing it at Lily.

Even though James put her down gently Lily was still stabbed by the forks. "Potter! Black! What the bloody hell are these utensils still doing down here?"

James almost wished he hadn't saved her, if she was going to thank him like this. Lily scoffed and walked over to her fence and began to climb it. Reaching the top of her fence she got on the patio roof and walked around until she was on the roof above her window. She carefully lowered herself into her window. When she looked back Sirius and James were flabbergasted.

"Close your mouths, the both of you! I sneaked into and out of the house a lot last year. Marie helped me find them."

Marie agreed to go back to Lily if she would not hurt her. Lily nodded and they said bye to the boys.

"Hey Jamesie?" asked Sirius.

"What do you want Padfoot?" asked James rolling his eyes.

"JAMES LOVES LILY! JAMES LOVES LILY! JAMES LOVES LILY!"

James pushed Sirius in a playful way. Sirius not being serious pretended to lose his balance and fall. He had forgotten one little thing: the stairs were next to him. He rolled down with great speed and landed as a lump on the floor. James seeing that Sirius had not moved or said anything rushed down. Sirius eyes were closed when James turned him over. Oh Merlin! Please don't be dead! Please don't be dead! Please don't be dead! James checked Sirius' heart and was relieved when he felt a pulse.

James took out his wand and levitated Sirius. He was going to lay him down on a couch. James accidentally hit Sirius' head with a wall. For a second he though he heard Sirius grunt. James hit Sirius' head accidentally on purpose, again he heard Sirius grunt. Smirking James let Sirius fall. As he thought Sirius had been playing unconscious. Sirius had screamed like a little girl in fear. Rolling in pain Sirius massaged his muscles.

"Was the fall down the stairs not enough pain for me?" asked Sirius glaring at James.

"Sirius Orion Black! Did you know how worr.." James stopped at Sirius' smirk.

"Please finish you sentence Prongs."

"I said nothing."

"You were going to say you worried about me!" said Sirius jumping up and down clapping.

"No I wasn't!"

"You love me. Admit it!"

To Sirius' delight James did not disagree. "JAMES LOVES ME! JAMES LOVES ME! JAMES LOVES ME! JAMES LOVES ME!"

"PADFOOT SHUT UP!" said James smacking Sirius' head.

Sirius stood up and gave James a huge hug. "Hug me back James!" he fiercely ordered when his friend franticly tried to get away.

Defeated, James hugged back.

Well there you go. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
