Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter because I am not the lovely JKR.

Look another chapter! I'm working on a chapter for "I Love You because I'm a Veela" then I'll get back to this story. Steamy romance is heating up in this chapter, you have been warned. O.O ~May

Chapter 16

"I have a suggestion for an activity tomorrow. I really meant it to be for today though." Peter announced suddenly, the Marauders and Lily were sitting on the couches in the Potter's living room. Lily and Remus were having a very intense game of chess, both of their minds working against each other was a once in a lifetime thing to watch. James, Sirius, and Peter were enjoying a game of Exploding Snap, except they kept watching the chess game so they all ended up with charred faces.

"What would that be?" Lily asked moving her knight, her eyes never leaving the board even though she was apparently listening.

"We should work on our bands, plus Lily could work on her solo act." Peter suggested and Lily looked away from the game for the first time.

"I have an idea to play off of that, but give me a second." Lily turned back to the chess game and Remus moved his castle. Lily placed her queen in the right place before announcing. "Check Mate."

"Dang it!" Remus replied and the guys laughed never having been able to beat Remus themselves.

"My cousin works for a muggle movie company in London. If I ask I bet I could get her and her crew to work with us and make a music video, we could premiere it at Hogwarts when we go back." Lily told them and they looked at her.

"Music video?" Sirius was looking at her like she was crazy.

"Yeah, a video that has you singing the song, but you do other stuff in it besides just singing the song." Lily explained and the boys nodded.

"Sounds like fun." James replied.

"The only problem is that with your videos we'd need more girls. You are the Marauder's after all." Lily teased and the boys rolled their eyes. "Though my cousin can just get some extras for the background. Maybe I could invite over Marlene and Alice?"

"Sure." James smiled.

"I have a little sister." Peter put up and Lily nodded.

"We should get her too, I have an idea!" Lily got up and ran to her room and then returned moments later clutching her song journal. "We could use this one song, it doesn't sound good as a solo so if we did it as a duet. We could even expand on that and possible make a whole television episode out of it!"

Everyone could tell Lily was getting super excited about the idea and none of the boys had the heart to tell her no, mostly because they all wanted to do it too.

"Go call your cousin and see what she says first." James told her, he stood up. "We have to walk into town; no muggle phone."

"Okay, who's coming with me?" Lily questioned looking up at him.

"Me." James replied and then they left, leaving the other three boys home alone.

"What if I wanted to go too?" Sirius asked hurt.

"Sirius, you do realize that by default James and Lily are taking a walk. Alone." Remus emphasized and both Sirius' and Peter's eyes got wide.

"You're right!" Peter exclaimed excitedly.

"Maybe our bet will be fulfilled today!" Sirius fist pumped the air.

"Who knows?" Remus began to set up the chess pieces again. "Anyone care to play a game with me?"

"I really hope Evelynn agrees to do it." Lily sighed as they approached the Pay Phone.

"Don't you think she will?" He looked down at her.

"I think she has the power to, but Evelynn likes listening to my sister about me. She knows I go to some fancy, advanced, prep-school academy of some sort. Petunia's led her on to believe that I act like a snob, one Christmas I did just to see her reaction. That didn't go to well." Lily grinned slightly and James let off a low chuckle. "Last New Year's though, we had a party and she asked if I had a hot boyfriend at the academy. I told her I did. Then she asked for a name."

"What name did you give her?" James questioned, now genuinely curious.

"Oh-uh. Well, apparently because I wasn't snobbish I got back in her good books, so she actually might help us." Lily quickly skipped over James' question, but he stopped, pulling her with him.

"What name did you give her Lily?"

"Yours." Lily said it in barely a whisper, had it not been a quiet, sunny day, with an empty town James wouldn't have heard it.

"You told her I was your boyfriend?"

"Yeah, which reminds me, if she comes, we might have to act like, you know, boyfriend and girlfriend." Lily threw him some Jazz hands and James grinned.

"I think I can deal with that." Lily giggled slightly. He leaned closer to Lily before speaking again. "Do you want to practice?"

"I think you'll catch on pretty quick." Lily told him breathlessly and James smiled at her.

"You sure you don't want to practice? I've heard I can be an excellent teacher." He licked his lips slightly and Lily's eyes, widened darting to them before looking back up into his eyes.

"Who says you'll be the one teaching?" Lily whispered before disappearing inside the phone box and James mentally cursed himself. After a few moments Lily stepped back out into the street. "She said she'll do it, she'll pick us up at your house tomorrow before taking us to the set. We leave at seven; in the morning."

Lily started walking back down the street and James took several long strides, catching up easily.

"So your friends, we need to contact them then?" James looked down at her, Lily was trying not to look at him, she couldn't believe she'd said that earlier.

"Yeah, I'll owl them when we get back." She froze. "I don't have an owl! Barrow is at Alice's house because Petunia hates her!"

"You can barrow my owl, no need to worry." James reassured her, grinning.

"Thank you." Lily gave him a happy smile, looking up at him and James was lost in her eyes.

"No problem." He returned in a quieter voice leaning forward slightly.

"We'd better get back; we don't want your mum worrying about us." Lily quickly backpedaled out of the situation and James nodded, slightly deflated.

Just so you all know, I will not be updating at all until possibly next Saturday. I might get another one up tonight or tomorrow, but Monday thru Saturday is a distinct no. School's starting next week too, so my writing time will be cut short soon. Sorry.

MKaseyM: Thanks! I'll try, but as above states^^^ not a lot of time coming up.

goldensnitch: Thank you! It's really the though that counts. ;)

SnitchSeeker101: Thanks! I have a feeling that you will lose this bet. You'll find out on Christmas Day.

Please leave me a review! ~May
