Disclaimer: I don't own anything but my two characters and plot. Gosh, this is getting repetitive isn't it?
Summary: I'm not going to write it again…. please go to Ch.1. Thanks a bunch!
Thinking Up A Storm:
The gentle snores from the four boys became repetitive. Breathing in, breathing out, in, out, in…
" 'Lisa," yelled Remus, toppling out of his bead, hitting his head on his dresser table. "OH, oh that hurt…" He was breathing hard. Suddenly realizing it was just a dream. As he was bringing in his surroundings…
"Remus, git, it's two thirty in the morning. You know, some people sleep. You know the word, smarty pants, SLEEP," grumbled Sirius into his pillow.
"Hey Remus, are you okay," asked Peter, sitting up and rubbing his eyes. Mountains of pumpkin pasty wrappers tumbled off his bed and onto the floor. Remus sighed. Now there's another mess to add to the collection.
"Mooney, who's 'lisa," asked James slyly. That's the thing with James; he can be sly at any time of the day. Remus flushed, his eyes darted around the room.
"Uh…s-she…s-she…I-I-is…uh," stuttered Remus, looking down at his hands, the wall, anywhere but his friends' faces.
"Moo-oo-ney, this doesn't have anything to do with Melissa, does it? Oo-oo-ooh, Mooney has a crush, Mooney has a CR-,"stopped Sirius, his mouth suddenly filled with cockroach clusters. A red-faced Remus hesitantly put his wand to his side, glaring at James and Peter, daring them to make jokes.
"Uh…just curious, Mooney," James started, slowly gaining confidence," do you have a crush on Melissa? I mean, it's cool if you do and all, just…" he gulped, "asking."
Remus sandwiched his head between two pillows and a muffling sound could be heard, "Mph."
"What," cried the two, empty-mouthed Marauders.
"Mph."
"WHAT?"
"Yeph."
"Well," sighed Peter with a gin on his face, "that's as good as we're going to get." Glad to get his feelings out to his friends, Remus sat up. It was time to plan.
Meanwhile...
"…and then, he had the nerve of asking me out! Again! Potter is such an idiot! An imbecile! He can't even do a single thing right! He's just so…"grumbled Lily, scuffing her shoes to the ground. I smiled, knowing that she always acts annoyed, even when she's amused. Just because he's James Potter.
"Irresistible," Janette finished with a smug look on her face. I could see what she was up to and decided to join in.
"And loveable," I added.
"And don't forget HOT," concluded Alice. Suddenly, the three of us stumbled to the floor, cackling with amusement. Lily glared sternly at us, her face suddenly breaking into a smile.
"Come on, people, I meant adjectives like 'stupid, idiotic, and barbaric' but if your describing him like that because he's really your heart's desire, be my guest."
"Yeah right, Lily Vanilli, we know you have your eye on him whether you like it or not. How let's go to the Great Hall, I'm starved," I laughed, marching towards the Great Hall. Alice, Janette, and Lily marching not too far behind.
15 minutes later...
"Padfoot, have you thought of anything yet?"
"Prongs, why are we depending on Padfoot for ideas? We know they're going to turn out disastrous. Why don't we think of an idea on getting you and Lily together? Doesn't that sound like a better idea? Huh, Prongs? Huh, guys?"
"Oh, shut it, Mooney, let's not get off topic. Padfoot, have you thought of anything yet?"
Silence.
"Padfoot?"
Even more silence.
"PADFOOT!"
"Aagh…ck…ack…ack," Sirius yelled, getting bacon bits stuck down his throat. Remus half-heartedly flicked his wand and Sirius breathed hard.
"Air, sweet air," he cried. "Plan? Oh yeah, I thought of a plan, but it's not just for us. You see, it's for all the Gryfindor guys! Well except for Mark Wodershine, he still hasn't paid me my seven galleons… but for everyone else. We'll be heroes! Can't you just see it? Us walking down the corridor, girls falling at our feet, the wind in our hair…yep, that's the life. Well, as long as Madeline Arkinson stays the hell away from me, she's been after me since I dumped her friend, Mad…wait, HEY…that was her! Hey, what do you know-," blabbed Sirius, his eyes glazing over as he stared into the distance.
"Uh, Padfoot," asked James uncertainly. His best friend had gone over the edge. It would take more than bacon to revive him. "Merlin, he's just like Peter after beating his record by eating 384 continuous pumpkin pasties! Just drifted off into space, he did."
"I did not! I was unconscious," Peter rebelled but slightly amused that he was being compared to the great player himself, Sirius Black.
"Thank goodness they're fighting instead of talking about a plan," murmured Remus.
"Thanks for reminding us, Mooney. Hey Wormtail, help me think of a plan," James remembered, glad to get back to the topic. With his problem, Remus had a hard life to live, and James wanted to help make it easier.
"Please, James, don't do this. I don't want you to prank her into liking me; she'll like me on her own accord. Let's think about you and Lily, shall we? Don't you agree, Peter," begged Remus, trying his hardest to make James think again.
"No way, Mooney, this is for your own good."
"Fine, let's take a vote on this. Sirius doesn't count, doesn't matter either. Don't say it's unfair, James, because he's acting as if he's been stunned." Remus was right; Sirius had his head in his bowl of porridge. You could see the air bubbles floating up towards the surface. How can he breathe with his head in porridge, thought Remus in wonder, maybe he has gills or something. He shook his head, "No, Padfoot's vote won't matter. Who says we should change the subject to Lily and James?"
Remus's and Peter's hands flew up.
"And who votes we should stay on my…er… topic?"
James hand flew up too fast, hitting Sirius's chin on the way up. However, Sirius just kept daydreaming without notice.
"It seems you are outnumbered, James. So, what are you going to do about Lily?"
If only I knew," James sighed, looking down the table. Remus followed his gaze and saw the four girls sitting together laughing. Remus smiled, hey were practically falling out of their seats. Alice was stuffing a piece of melon in her mouth to cease the laughing while Janette was busy pounding the table with the palms of her hands. Lily had her hands over her face and was shaking uncontrollably, but Remus knew she was laughing along with her friends. And then there was one… Melissa was making hand gestures, each one more intense than the one before. Apparently, she was telling a story to her friends, making it funnier by adding intense facial expressions and hand gestures. All of a sudden, she pulled a disfigured look upon her face. Shocked by the sudden expression, Remus began to laugh extra loud, which made everyone at the Gryfindor table stare at him intently, waiting for an explanation. Oops, he thought, great way to blend in.
