I ran into the Prefect's Compartment and opened the door. Obviously, I was the first one there.I sat down on the nearest seat..
" THE HELL!"
"oh, Hello Lily-Flower. Nice of you to...erm...drop in"
Yes. That's right. I just sat on James Potter. Wow. Smoooth, Lily.
"Oh..erm..sorry James...I'll just be...."
"Nonsense, Lily. Stay as long as you'd like."
"In that case, James..."
"No, wait Lily! I take that back! Stay as long as I'd like."
And yes. He did what you think he did. He wiggled his eyebrows...can my life suck any more?
"Damn it James....let me go."
Which of course, just made him hold on tighter. I was now on top of James Potter's lap, with his arms all the way around me, holding me to his god-damned body. Most of you would say 'Wow! That is so romantic!'I beg to differ.I would have gotten my wand but, I could feel it in my back pocket..wait...my wand is in my front pocket. SO WHAT IS THAT HARD THING...oh...OH... of course, all of the Prefects come in at that time. Well. If he insists on embarrassing me, he has no idea what he's in for.
"James?"
"Yes, Flower." Ha. He seemed surprised by my seemingly innocent tone...I'll show him...
"I'm sorry, but you are pitching quite a tent and it is very uncomfortable. I also have no intention of shagging you, so....IN THE NAME OF MERLIN GET YOUR FUCKING ARMS OFF ME AND GO TAKE A COLD SHOWER! IF MY SITTING ON YOU, BY COMPLETE ACCIDENT, TURNS YOU ON THAT MUCH, I WOULD HATE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE ACTUALLY SHAGGING SOMEONE!Oh, and Potter, FRIENDS DON'T MAKE OTHER FRIENDS SIT ON THEIR FUCKING LAPS. STRIKE ONE POTTER. TWO MORE AND YOU CAN SAY GOODBYE TO THIS FRIENDSHIP.
Ha. He looked absolutely mortified. All of the Prefect's were laughing uncontrollably and it was another five minutes before everyone would shut up so we could get on with the meeting. Aside from that, though Potter seemed to recover quickly and jumped into the meeting. Actually, he was quite helpful. I was so surprised that I decided to forgive him for the...erm..incident.
When everyone left, he looked at me and said..."Sorry Lily. I guess I deserved that...."
"Yes, you did James. But, I am willing to let it slide...you seem sincere."
"Thanks, Lily!"
And with that, he bounded off to go find his friends. I guess I should find Alice...
I walking down the hall, looking for Alice, and...WHY IN THE NAME OF MERLIN DID SHE HAVE TO SIT WITH THE MARAUDERS! Oh well...I might as well make the most of it. I stepped into the compartment and shut the door, landing straight into...you guessed it...James Potter's lap. What did I do to deserve this. Please. Someone tell me. Anyone? I guess not.
Anyways, I think you know what happened next. Everyone started cracking up, I was disgruntled, and James was obviously scared that I was going to point out his repitched tent. Lovely. Did I mention that there were no more seats in the compartment, and that I had to sit on his lap for the rest of the train ride? Oh...well I did I did what I thought a friend would do. I put on a grumpy face and positioned myself to hide his erection from his friends. With one grateful smile, he turned back to Sirius and started talking about some prank that I decided I wanted to know nothing about.
AND THEN REMUS LOOKS AT ME, LIKE HE KNWS EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON! I SWEAR THAT BOY IS PSYCHIC. AND THE WHOLE TIME, ALICE IS STARING AT ME, AS IF WILLING ME TO TELL HER WHAT HAPPENED.
Five minutes later, the train stops and everyone gets off. James and I have to stay behind and check if people are left behind....great...this is just going to add to the awkward situation.
So, the moment we are alone....
"Lily, can I ask you something?"
"Mhmmm...."
"Why did you hide my...erm...well...yeah?"
"I, being the great friend that I am, decided that you wanted it hidden, and I decided to help you. Now its my turn. Why don't you care when a group full of random Prefects knows about...your reaction...but you don't want your or my friends to know?"
"Well, no one would mess with the Marauders, they know that we will get revenge. But I can't very well get revenge on my or your friends, can I? They would never let me hear the end of it. And, I know that it wasn't very comfortable for you either...so...thanks Lily."
"You're welcome James. And...if it makes you feel better...it wasn't that bad either..."
Damn it. Why the bloody hell did I have to say that. He looks like Christmas has come early...and there concludes the train ride from hell....this is going to be a looooong year.
