Moments with the Marauders

Concentrate- Focus one's attention or mental effort on a particular object or activity.

"C'mon Lily concentrate! James' abs are not going to distract you. You need to get started on your Potions homework." Lily Evans muttered to herself as she tried to stop her eyes from drifting to James Potter's bare chest. You see, James had just come in from Quidditch practice, and promptly decided to take off his T-shirt. I think that you all know how appealing James' chest could look compared to Potions homework.
Lily mentally slapped herself, and forced herself to focus, once again, on her essay. But a few minutes later, she found a hot blush rushing to her cheeks as she felt James' gaze on her. She looked up and slammed her quill onto the table. "That's it! Potter, put a top on!" She exclaimed, that annoying blush still on her cheeks.

James smirked. "Why? Is this," James gestured towards his bronzed torso, "distracting you?"

Lily resisted the urge to nod. "No! But I think that it's a bit distracting for the other people here." Stupid, stupid, stupid! There were no other people in the common room!

James' forehead crinkled adorably. "Evans, there are no other people here. Are you feeling alright? You're looking a bit red there." James' eyes sparkled with mirth.

"Shut up Potter! It's you and your stupid abs that are disrupting me from my homework!" Lily wanted to die. Had she seriously just said that? Stupid, stupid, stupid!

"Ah, so this," James once again gestured towards his torso. "is distracting for you! I knew it!"

"Just put on a bloody shirt Potter!"

"No!" James retorted.

"Fine! Then I'll put it on for you!" Lily got up and walked into the boys dormitories. She yanked open a drawer, and found that it was full of underwear. Lily flushed, and quickly closed it again.

A few minutes later, James' eyes widened when he saw the redhead coming at him with a T-shirt, and he turned to run, but she jumped on him, and tried to wrestle his head through the hole.

"Why is your bloody head so big?" Lily said exasperatedly.

"Why are you so bloody rough? That is my hair!"

"I wouldn't have to be doing this if you'd bloody well let me concentrate on my homework!"

Remus and Sirius chose that moment to enter the common room. What they saw was vaguely disturbing.

There was Lily, hanging onto James' back like a monkey, trying to shove a shirt over his head, and there was James, yelping in pain as Lily accidently elbowed him in the head.

"Is this a bad time?"

IIIIIIIIIIIII

"Miss Evans, may I ask where your homework is?" Professor Slughorn asked confusedly. Lily had never, not handed in an assignment.

"I'm sorry Professor, but I couldn't concentrate, as a certain someone," Lily aimed a glare at James. "was distracting me. My apologies."

"That's quite alright Miss Evans, just make sure it doesn't happen again."

"Oh, it won't." Lily replied with an evil grin that she directed at James.

Said boy winced and decided to never mess with Lily Evans.

Hope you like it! R&R!

Love,
