Chapter Thirty Nine: "That will never happen."

The younger students filed in before us, and the seventh years waltzed in behind us. Remus looked slightly apprehensive for some reason, but I pushed it to the back of my mind. I turned to Lily and James and smiled. Before we graduated, they would be together. Whether they liked it or not.

"Are you okay?" Remus asked me gently.

"Yeah. Just reminiscing." I grinned and kissed my boyfriend softly.

Sirius made gagging noises and I raised an eyebrow at him. "You and Belle are no better."

Lily rolled her eyes and pulled Bella and I to our seats at the Gryffindor table.

Professor McGonagall flicked her wand and a long piece of parchment appeared in her hand. The Sorting Hat broke into song and the first years gazed at it in awe. I rolled my eyes and concentrated on the Sorting.

"Aberway, Jennifer."

"RAVENCLAW!"

"Allot, Michael."

"SLYTHERIN!"

The Sorting carried on in this vein for some time till the last student was sorted, ("Walters, Marie." "HUFFLEPUFF!") and Dumbledore stood up.

"Welcome to new students and to old ones, welcome back. I have some highly tiresome announcements to make before you can eat your fill. The Forbidden Forest always has been and will remain, forbidden." When he said this, his twinkling periwinkle blue eyes swept over the Marauders. "Also, Mr Filch has said that a new list of objects that are forbidden is in his office. Please feel free to look over it. This year's Prefects are:

Gabrielle Falk and Jack Kasena for Ravenclaw,

Posy Parkinson and Severus Snape for Slytherin,

Tara Dawson and Matthew McHonahan for Hufflepuff and

Lily Evans and Remus Lupin for Gryffindor!" The Gryffindor table erupted into tumulus applause at the last statement. I grinned. Remus' grey eyes were shining as he leaned over and kissed me.

I smiled back at him and settled back in my seat.

"TUCK IN!" Dumbledore hollered over the outbreak of whispers.

James and Sirius piled their plates high with a disgusting mix of different foods. Lily pulled a face and waited till James took his fork out of his mouth and placed her right hand behind his head. With sudden force, she pushed his face into his food and began to laugh.

I sniggered and hid my face behind my hand.

"That'll teach you to stuff your face." Lily grinned.

James wiped mashed potatoes from around his eyes and cleaned his glasses. He mock-glared at Lily, before loading up his spoon and flinging mushy peas at her. She ducked and they hit Bella instead.

This triggered a full-on food war. I got in a few good hits before the plates started flying. Then I slipped underneath the table, where I found Lily, Bella and James.

"Having fun?" I asked sarcastically. A few minutes later, Remus joined us under the table and we began to kiss.

~~ Lily's POV ~~

James threw a spoonful of mushy peas at me. Mushy peas! Maybe you don't realise the gravity of this situation. Mushy peas! They didn't actually hit me, but what if they had?! I could be scarred for life!

Okay, I slipped under the table unnoticed, when James clambered under after me! I mock-glared at him playfully, before cuffing him around the back of the head.

"See what you did?" I growled. Bella joined us shortly afterwards, then came Cassie and Remus. The latter began snogging and James looked at me kind of hopefully. I raised an eyebrow coolly and turned to Belle.

"That will never happen James." I threw over my shoulder.
