I'm finally back after such a long time! :O You must hate me...Oh wellz. Here's Chapter 3!

And here's a disclaimer. Disclaimer: Everything belongs to JK Rowling. Not me :(

"Goblins never had a war against mice! I don't know where you got that from." Lily sniffed like she usually did when she spotted an incorrect fact on homework. She jumped about a mile in the air when Marlene slammed her quill down on the table and jumped up, looking frustrated and annoyed.

"Can we take a break? Oh, please, please, please?" Marlene gave her a puppy face, knowing how hard it was to pull Lily away from her work.

Lily frowned disapprovingly. "We can't do that!" Lily gaped as if the idea of leaving her homework unfinished was horrifying. "This is due in two days, you know; you really shouldn't be running off to-"

"Aww, come on, Lily; where's you sense of humor?" Marlene pleaded. "I heard the Marauders posted a new question! Oh, please please please?"

Lily hesitated. A new question by the Marauders sounded strangely appealing. "No. Like I said, this homework is very important, and our exams-"

Marlene sighed and interrupted Lily's rant. "Bye-bye. You coming Alice? Mary?" They both nodded eagerly and ran up to join Marlene.

Lily began scolding them. "Guys! Homework is very important; much more important than some stupid question Potter and his gang put up!"

The redhead's friends shared a look and Mary let out a giggle. "You singled out Potter!" She chortled. "One last time, Lily. You coming or not?"

Lily scowled. "No. I, unlike you, am going to sit back down in this library, and continue working on my History of Magic essay, which, by the way, is very important. I, unlike you, am going to work diligently and finish ALL of my homework before going to play. I, unlike you, am going to be a good student and keep on studying!"

There was a moment of silence, which Alice broke. "You know, that would have been a good speech if you hadn't singled out Potter a moment earlier."

Lily's friends lapsed back into giggles, and Lily plopped back down on her chair, starting on her essay. Out of the corner of her eye, she watched as her Alice, Marlene, and Mary left the library in high spirits. Her friends were so infuriating sometimes...

"Helloooo!" A familiar voice called. It seemed like Lily's friends had come back. Marlene's face was oddly flushed, and it was beet red, and Mary was also slightly blushing, but Alice looked as normal as ever except for the fact that she looked as if she was going to burst out into laughter the next second. And sure enough, she did.

Lily was very surprised. First, she whispered, "Shhh! Quiet in the library! You'll get us kicked out!" But then, her curiosity seemed to get the best of her and she asked anxiously, "What's so funny? What happened?"

As Marlene was too flushed to answer, and Mary seemed to be temporarily frozen with a light pink tinting her cheeks, once again, it was Alice who answered. "See, we were just-"

Alice Prewett was interrupted by Madam Pince, who came pelting out of nowhere, brandishing a feather duster at them. Lily jumped aside as they were showered in dust.

"Out! Out!" The crazy librarian yelled. "No talking loudly in the library! No crazy giggling! And absolutely no girl gossiping! You can do that outside! Out!"

Panting, the girls skidded to a stop far from the library.

"She's bonkers!" Lily said. Then she added, "Well, what were you saying?" "Oh!" Alice smiled widely as the blushes rose once more to her friends' cheeks. "Yes, that. So, we just finished answering the Marauders' new question and-"

"What was it? The question, I mean."

Alice gave one of those sly grins that made Lily feel that her friend knew something she didn't. She looked to Mary and Marlene for help, but Mary was simply biting her lip, looking nervous. She didn't look like she was following the conversation at all. Marlene was staring up at the ceiling, bright pink patches still visible on her face. What could possibly have happened that would make her friends act this way?

Lily was jolted from her thoughts by Alice answering. "Suddenly so interested, Lilykins? Well you'll have to find out yourself!" She said haughtily.

Lily glowered at her. "Marlene did that to me last time. Are you guys going to tell me I have to find out myself for every single question?"

"Possibly. But that's not the point. See, we just finished answering the first question-Don't interrupt now, Lils." Alice smirked. "And we turned around…DUNDUNDUN." She made a dramatic sweeping motion with her arms while Lily rolled her eyes. "And Potter, Black, Lupin, and Pettigrew were sitting on the couch!"

"So?"

"Now, don't interrupt, Lily dear. It's rude and I'm in the middle of an exciting story here!"

Lily raised her eyebrows. Her friends were really very…odd.

Alice continued. "And Remus waves, looking right at Mary, and Mary blushes, and Remus blushes, and CAN'T YOU SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE?"

"Er…Remus and Mary are both blushing?"

"EXACTLY! And then…Wait. Oh, wait."

"Huh?"

Alice shook her head. "I can't tell you without revealing the question. Too bad! You'll have to go and see the question!"

Lily harrumphed and began walking away. "I'll be right back!"

As she fast-walked towards the common room, she really began wondering what the stupid Marauders really could have said that made her friends blush so much and even be temporarily frozen in shock…

When she finally got through the portrait hole, Lily saw that Potter and his friends were still lounging on the Gryffindor couch, so instead of running excitedly to the notice board like she had intended, she made a pokerface and walked slowly to the board as if she had nothing better to do.

"Welcome back! We believe your hair color has now returned to normal. (Shame, James looked quite funny as a redhead.) First of all, we changed our minds. It won't be multiple choice anymore! Why? Because we feel like it of course. So don't question us! (AHEM. You. Yes, you. No, not you! YOU!).The spell is Scriptus, and your wand will become a quill-ish thing. Anyways, here's the second question:

What is the color of your underwear right now?"

Lily's mouth opened. That was so inappropriate! And she didn't know her own underwear color, which meant that she'd have to peek and James Potter was sitting right there. He might see, and she would never hear the end of it. UGH. She tried to walk away; maybe she could go up to the girls' dorm and check, then come back down to answer. But she found that her feet wouldn't move. She was stuck. She tried a few spells to get herself unstuck, but not one of them worked.

"Once you've read the question, you can't move until you've answered it." Someone said, and Lily groaned.

"What do you want, Potter?" Lily said in the hardest voice she could muster.

"Just to tell you you won't be able to move until you've answered. You gotta admit, it's a pretty good idea."

"I guess. Now let me outta-"

James' face brightened. "Lily Evans thinks that I, JAMES POTTER, had a good idea!" He smiled widely and began dancing around.

Lily, who still couldn't move her feet, just scowled. "I said that the idea was good, not that YOU had the good idea!"

"Well I was the one who thought of it!"

Lily changed direction top speed. "I meant that the charm work was good!"

James' smile widened. "I was the one who did the charm work too!"

Frowning, she said. "Whatever!" And she turned back to answer. Aware that James was watching her closely, she looked down and peeped. Purple.

"Scriptus." She said clearly.

As she turned to leave, she saw that James Potter was back to talking with his friends. Lily felt a smile creep up on her face and she told herself that maybe she was lucky and Potter didn't see her peeking at her own underwear.

"Nice purple panties, Evans!" a voice called. Potter. Of course.

Lily whirled around and glared, but he had already turned back. As he bent down to tie his shoelaces, The back of his boxers became visible and Lily found herself staring.

Suddenly realizing what she was doing, she gave an audible gasp, and ran out the portrait hole, ignoring all the weird looks she got.

Lily mentally slapped herself. What the heck was she thinking just now? She found Marlene, Alice, and Mary in the same corridor. Marlene and Mary seemed to have finally snapped out of their reveries.

"Well?" Alice demanded. "Did you answer?"

Lily nodded. "But tell me the story now!"

"Alright then. Where was I? Oh! So we just finished answering and the Marauders were there, yada yada yada. And after Remus and Mary's exchange," Alice giggled. "Sirius said 'Hi' to Marley, and she said 'Hi' back, and he asked her if she wanted to go to Hogsmeade with him!"

"Yeah, so?" Lily shrugged. Unlike other girls, she didn't bother about all that lovey dove girl business. She didn't wear makeup and didn't spend hours every morning deciding on what to wear, but she managed to look good all the same-as she was constantly reminded by Potter.

"So? Whaddya mean, SO?" Alice then went on a long rant, explaining how this was super duper important, how it was the peak of Marlene's love life, how they have to begin preparing for the wedding, and so on...

Lily had tuned her out. Suddenly, a picture of James Potter and his blue and black checkered boxers flashed through her mind. Why did she keep thinking about it? Lily curled her hand into a fist and bonked herself on the head a few times.

"Er…Lily?" Marlene's voice said. "Um..why did you just er…punch your own head?"

Lily was definitely NOT telling them that she just had a mental image of Potter in his boxers.

"I forgot that I never finished my Charms essay! It's due soon!" Lily wailed. She didn't really need to pretend since she really had just remembered that her homework was still unfinished.

Lily ran away from Marlene, Alice, and Mary, who were all wearing looks of confusion.

This question thing was really addling her brain...
