Chapter 2
His smile, wow. Stop it Andy, you know what happened last time. Sirius let go of her hand and smiled.
"Well, we'd better go back to our cabin. We wouldn't want to disturb Andy any more than we already have." He gave James a look of persuasion. James quickly got the picture.
"Right," James said. "Remus, Peter, Lily. Let's go." He reached for Lily's hand but she pulled it away.
"I think I'll stay here." Lily said giving James another stern but loving look. The boys knew not to disobey. The quickly filed out of the room, Peter first, followed by the slouching Remus, then James defeated by Lily's persistence, and lastly Sirius. Still looking at Andy with a smile. Once he was out of the door he started to laugh a bit and James hit his shoulder.
"What was that about?" Andy asked Lily, sitting back down extremely confused.
"That was a little snippet of my everyday life." Lily said taking out a book and starting to read it.
"No, I meant. Who are they?" Andy persisted. Lily's facial expression changes from bored to amused.
"They call themselves the Marauders. I call them ridiculous." She laughed at herself for a second. "They've been friends since first year and I expect them to be friends long after they've graduated." Andy still looked confused. "Basically they just fuck around until one of them gets hurt and them they start all over again."
"Are you and James together then?" Andy inquired. Lily moved sharply, sitting up straight and closing her book.
"No, what makes you think that." She said quickly. As if it were one word. This question was obviously sensitive.
"It's just he was so touchy with you, then again, Sirius was pretty touchy with James too." Andy laughed a bit. Sirius. What a funny name. It was a nice name though.
"Yeah they're pretty close." Lily said with sarcasm in her voice. Andy looked down, slightly uncomfortable. "Oh not like that." She laughed. "It's just they're best friends so James doesn't really have time for anyone else, so." Andy laughed a bit. Lily went back to her voice.
"Right well then, what about Sirius. Is he with anyone?" Andy asked. Please say no. Please say no.
"Sirius?" Hey eyes widened and her mouth let out a loud cackle. "No. I don't think he'll ever settle down. He's with a different girl every week." She went back to her book as if to say she was pretty much done with the conversation.
"Right." Andy said a little defeated. "Makes sense." Of course. Of course he would be a player. A guy that looks like him. It makes perfect sense. Why is it always the guys that I like. Lily closed to book again.
" But something makes me think things might be different this year." Lily looked at Andy strangely for a second. "Well. I have to go and get my robes on. You might want to as well. I guess I'll see you later." She got up and began to walk out.
"Why do you say that?" Andy asked, confused.
Lily paused and looked down. "Your shoelaces." She said, gesturing to Andy's shoes.
"What about them?"
"You can look now." She said and left the room. Andy looked down and saw that her shoes were tied and a little note was attached to one of the strings. "Thanks for being our first audience. We should do it again sometime. S.B" S.B. That had to be Sirius right? Oh god not again. You promised yourself Andy. You promised you wouldn't do this again. Andy put her hands in her lap and sighed. Not again. You just have to last one more year and you can do whatever you want. And the last thing you need to worry about is a boy. Especially this one. Especially… Suddenly the door opened again to reveal annoyed Lily.
"Oh and by the way," She came in and handed Andy another note. "Be careful. I don't trust him." She walked out once again. Meet me in girls bathroom. S.B. Andy blushed. Okay maybe just one more time.
