After everyone was showered, and dressed they met up in the entertainment room. Sirius and James choose 101 Dalmatians. Remus tried to explain to them that is was a little kid movie, and they were bog kids now, but that just motivated them more.

When the girls appeared in the doorway with their fluffy slippers, they made their appearance known, after watching them for about a minute while they remained oblivious to their presence.

"Hey guys."

"Hey"

"So what movie did you guys pick?"

"Well Sirius and James thought…"

"Oh god this can't be good." Alice said, while rolling her eyes, at them for the umpteenth time that evening.

"We do have good ideas sometimes you know." James exclaimed, obviously offended that somebody as nice as Alice would say that, while he was in the room none-the-less.

"As in sometimes you mean one of those rare moments, where you have a short stroke of brilliance, that lasts about 30 seconds right Sirius?"

"That would be correct Lauren."

"Ok just making sure."

"Now that we have that established….." announced Lily.

"What movie did they pick?"

"101 Dalmatians!" Sirius and James announced happily, while Remus and Lily groaned.

"Well we haven't seen it yet so fine by me." said Morgan.

"Fine, but it's a little kids movie. After this one we get to watch a horror. OK?"

There were some grumbles of replies from the group, but in the end they agreed on 101 Dalmatians, for James, Sirius, and the girls. (Minus Lily.) While the horror movie chosen was Amityville Horror.

They sat on the floor and got comfortable. Leaning against the couch the order went as follows: At the far right Morgan, Remus, Lily, James, Lauren, Sirius, Alice. Lauren made their little 'seating chart' in hopes that Morgan and Remus would, be able to discreetly flirt. Lily would finally realize James isn't a bad guy, when he comforts her in the horror movie (She thinks Amityville Horror is the worst of the worst when it comes to horror.) While she had her boyfriend Sirius, who's eyes could just hypnotize her to forget all her problems, and Alice who was also good at the whole comforting thing.

Once the movie was put in there was an outburst of comments.

"Aww look a puppy!"

"and another, and another, and another!"

"Who's that ugly lady with the skunk hair. Doesn't she know that look is ssssoooo 1456?"

"Your right it is sort of Medieval isn't it?"

"Well with all of that hairspray that is needed to obtain that amount of volume, she could flea bomb a house." exclaimed Sirius, who was disgusted on how badly on could treat something as precious as their own hair.

They all gasped, awed, and even in some places cried (Sirius and James), at all the right places. Lily and Lauren had gotten stuck with the job of calming them down (not an easy feat.). This Lauren had not planned for when she arranged the seating chart. This took at least 15 minutes to do.

"I loved that movie! When I go home for Christmas I'm going to ask for it."

"Geminio" Lily said. Successfully duplicating the movie. She handed one to James and one to Sirius.

"There now you don't have to waste a Christmas gift on it."

"Lily if you weren't Prongs' girl I would kiss you right about now."

That earned him a hard elbow in the ribs from Lauren.

"And if I wasn't taken" he added as an after though.

At the previous statement she blushed to the roots of her hair. Seeing as she has a very pale complexion it was extremely noticeable.

"Yeah Lily that sure was a nice thing to do for Sirius and James." Alice noted.

"What I just didn't want them to waste a Christmas gift on something so little, that's all." She said innocently. Blushing an even darker red in the process.

"Sure, that was it." Alice said in an accusing tone, while giving a look that said 'We are SO talking about this later missy!'. While Sirius and James watched in confusion from the sidelines.

"Ok who wants to watch the next movie?" Remus asked in an attempt to break the growing tension in the room. It worked. Everyone snapped out of their little trance like state and began to set up, for The Amityville Horror.

Once the movie got to the part where the little girl was inside the closet, the girls shrieked, and started to hyperventilate. When they got into the part where it showed the babysitter getting locked in a closet, they were close to tears they were so scared. The boys and Alice started crying when the suspense at the dock, and missing dog got heated up. The absolute worst part for them was when they showed the little girl locked in the closet, who had to watch her family get shot by her own brother. The sound of her pleading, for mercy on herself to her own brother, was enough to bring tears to the girls eyes. When she was shot. Lauren and Alice ended up cradling each other crying for the poor little girl. Lily practically flung herself onto James when the scene started. By the end of it she had James holding her right side, hugging her from a sideways angle, his head halfway on hers. With Sirius hugging her from the left side, mirroring James. Silent tears tracking down their faces. Morgan on the other hand was crying into Remus' shoulder, soaking his bare chest.

After the movie ended, the girls had salty tear, tracks, running down their otherwise perfect faces. They bid their good nights and went to their respectable bathrooms to wash up before bed.

When it was Lauren's turn she shared as silent kiss with Sirius. Giving him a look that said 'We have to get those idiot people together.' (James and Lily, Remus and Morgan)

Once it was Lily's turn she runs headlong into James' chest. They both tripped backwards and fell to the ground with a distinct thud. Being one in the morning their reaction times were low. Their heads hit the wall with slightly louder thuds. Yet nobody came to their rescue. Being she tired they were all slightly delirious. So Lily and James just burst out laughing about falling down, and hitting their heads were a nice sized lump was already starting to form. After they got themselves together, they went into the bathroom, brushed their teeth, washed their faces, ect.

After everyone was settled, Morgan and Alice tip-toed over to Lily and Lauren's room, across the hall, to interrogate Lily about James. They put a silencing charm on the room and got straight to work.

"Lily Marie! How dare you not tell us something this important!" Morgan practically shrieked as soon as she walked through the door. Startling, yet waking Lily and Lauren they too screamed, and rolled out of bed. Literally.

"What the hell are you talking about Morgan?" Lily asked groggily.

"You and James of course. Who else?" Alice answered.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Lily said haughtily, nose in the air.

"Oh pur-lease Lil'. We've know you for what six years? Right?" Lauren asked.

"Yeah, but Lauren where are you going with this? It's bloody two in the morning!" Lily exclaimed.

"Jeez, no need for cursing." Alice said indignantly.

"OK back to the point."

"What may that be?" Lily asked in a fake polite voice.

"You like James. Dur."

"What I do not!" Lily said, while her mind and heart were having a heated battle inside her. 'Well you did care for him earlier when he was hurt. You could have just told them to bugger off, and find somebody else.' Her heart reasoned. 'Yeah, but that's just because I can't let somebody bleed to death even if he was my worst enemy.' her mind retorted. 'Fine that may be, but you have to admit he is cute. Not in that happy-go-lucky litle kid, Quidditch player either. Like the definition of hot, there is no other words for it.' her heart told her mind. 'That is true, and he's been incredibly nice, and my parents love him she thought. Hey you tricked me!' her mind exclaimed to itself. 'The heart wants, what the heart wants.'

"LILY!" All the girls screamed.

"What?" She replied as she snapped out of her trance.

"You were talking to yourself again." Alice giggled.

"You mean I said all of that stuff out-loud??" She asked mortified.

"Yep" they replied happily.

"So now you can't deny that you like him! HA!" Lauren exclaimed triumphantly.

"Ok so maybe a little bit." She admitted while smiling guiltily. And so the girls stayed up until dawn talking about random stuff. Past boyfriends, current boyfriends, past and current crushes, school, teachers, summer homework, plans for the rest of the week. Just about anything else you can think of. They talked about it, that was until Lily passed out on the floor, the others decided to go to sleep, before breakfast.

Knock, knock. Came a muffled sound by the door; Silent Charm faintly wearing off.

Knock, knock. Came the noise again, completely ignored by the room's occupants.

BANG! A small explosion came from outside, the door. That got the girls up. Hair tousled, eye's glassy, pajama's slightly twisted from sleeping on the floor. The true markings of heavy sleepers.

They bolted up, into a sitting position, eyes surveying the room frantically, for the source of the noise. BANG! It came again.

This caused Lily to stand up warily, and walk to the door. When she opened it, she was met with an un-expecting sight.

Remus, Sirius, and James shirtless sitting in the middle of the hallway, playing Exploding Snaps. James' eyebrows were singed, from the deck exploding in his direction.

"Hi Lily. Have a good sleep?" James asked sweetly.

"Hey guys, um why are you playing Exploding Snap in my hallway?"

"Oh, about that. We were hungry and wanted breakfast…" Started James.

"Then we tried to wake you guys up, but you couldn't hear us I'm guessing, and we didn't want to go wake your parents, sooo…."

"So, we camped out here and decided that we would wait for somebody to wake up, while we sat out here, because lord knows what would happen if we let James and Sirius in the kitchen, with Muggle appliances." Finished Remus, rolling his eyes playfully.

"Oh ok then. You know you could have just screamed pancakes, and bacon if you wanted to wake us up." Lily stated matter-of-factly.

"Well sorry if we didn't know that." Sirius said moodily, while James, Remus, and Lily glared at him.

"What!? I'm sensitive when I'm hungry." He whined, allowing his stomach to growl in agreement.

"OK, then I'll get the girls and we'll go down to get some breakfast. We'll cook, Remus you can help if you want. James and Sirius, you…. Well you guys can sit at the table and watch."

"K Lily, thanks. I don't think Barry would be able to go any longer without food."

"Barry?" Lily asked.

"Oh he's my stomach." Sirius stated.

"Um, ok. That's a little strange, but ok." Lily said nervously looking at Sirius, like he was a loon.

"Girls!" Lily exclaimed in a sing-song voice.

"What?" Three grumpy girls, groaned from under a mass of blankets, sheets, and a mountain of fluffy pillows.

"We're making breakfast!" Lily said excitedly.

"So…. It's like nine in the morning. We've only slept for like three hours." Said Alice, while doing the math in her head to double check herself.

"That may be true, BUT in the kitchen we can make, waffles, pancakes, eggs, bacon. The works."

At the words pancakes, and bacon the girls had eager expressions on their faces.

"Pancakes, and bacon!" The now awake girls shouted in unison, then gave out war cries. They all flew passed the boys, down two flights of stairs, and into the kitchen. Taking out the pans, waffles irons, ingredient, plates, and spatulas.

Meanwhile, the Marauders were walking down the stairs, sharing looks of bewilderment with each other. All asking the same question to themselves. 'What in the bloody hell was that all about?'. When they walked into the kitchen, they saw each girl with an apron on, with cooking materials around them. Alice's apron said 'WARNING! COMPLAINTS TO THE COOK, MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH!'. Morgan's said 'Don't make me poison your food.', with a skull and cross-bones in the middle. Lauren's said 'It isn't rocket science.' with a chef holding a burning pan on it.

Lily's apron was the most elaborate, most likely hand made, with a corny joke on it. It said 'What's safer: a redhead or a piranha?The piranha. They only attack in schools.' in red glitter, with a picture of Lily giving her best death glare, smack dab in the middle.

"What are you guys doing?" Remus exclaimed.

"Oh, we're having our annual breakfast, cook-off challenge." Said Morgan excitedly.

"We have to make a full blown breakfast complete with bacon, eggs, waffles, pancakes, and a drink for two people."

"Sirius, you can count as two people, since you eat like a pig. Lily your making James breakfast, along with yourself; Morgan you got yourself, and Remus; Alice you can make you and part of Sirius' breakfast, and I'll make the other half of Sirius' and myself."

"You guys are the taste testers." Stated Morgan.

"Yeah you have to rate each course on a scale of one to ten." Lily said while duplicating the supplies, so everyone had equal amount of everything.

"On your mark get set GO!" Sirius shouted, eager to be a taste tester.

By the time everything was cooked and the girls started eating Alice said,

"That was so much fun, we haven't done that since fourth year." Sighing contently.

"I know. We didn't even have to coax out taste testers to actually eat our food this time."

"I know. I mean Petunia is like stick in the mud stubborn." Lauren said irritatedly.

"Why are oranges called oranges, but limes not called greens?" Sirius asked, with a dazed expression on his handsome face.

The group just stared at him blankly.

"Is he always like that?" Lily asked slowly.

"Yeah pretty much. I tried to teach him a larger vocabulary once.. Lets just say my headboard has a head shaped like dent in it. It never has been the same." Remus said sorrowfully.

After the batter was cleaned from the walls, crumbs from the floor, and bacon bits from the table, the group went to the backyard, trying to teach the Marauders, Alice, and Morgan how to play soccer.
