Shower Thoughts

Disclaimer: Harry Potter and anything to do with him is not my property. But that can't stop me from using everything from it!!

Yes, yes, I know most of you probably hate me because this has taken so long. Hopefully I have proved the wait worth it. Sorry. Please lower your pitchforks and read. :D

Sunday

Peter Pettigrew

I never found love. Never. What is so utterly undesirable about me? Is it picking my nose? Eating food that has fallen on the floor? Was it the fact that I poked that girl's dead owl when it was clearly dead? Was it because I jumped on the owl? Sigh. Only my shampoo loves me. And I love you raspberry-scented shampoo. Squirt. Crap, it's in my eye!! Argh!

"Prongs! Padfoot! Moony! Help me!! The shampoo got into my eye!"

"And how did that happen?"

"I told it I loved it –"

"There's your problem."

Dorcas Meadowes

Note to self: Do not ever, EVER try to dive into Sirius' hand again. Results in major head injury and complete and utter embarrassment.

But some good did come out of it. Sirius very thoughtfully took me to the Hospital Wing. And when Madam Pomfrey wasn't looking, he kissed me!! Oh, shower, I'm so happy! Soap, dance with me! Shampoo, conditioner, you can join in too!! And you, hairbrush, and you, my fluffy body sponge!

Comes sailing out of the bathroom in a towel "He kissed me! He kissed me!"

"And that gives you an excuse to dance with my conditioner, how?"

"He kissed me! And all the bathroom essentials are dancing with me!"

"You forgot Emmeline's strawberry-scented body wash, Dorcas."

"Lily, shut –"

"Ooh! Yes!"

Runs back into bathroom and comes out holding large body wash bottle "I'll make everything strawberry fresh!"

"Dorcas! NO –"

Squirts strawberry liquid everywhere

"Damn it."

Remus Lupin

I apologized to Emmeline today for everything I think I've ever done wrong to her. I was really nervous she was gonna scream at me. She was silent for a whole minute, just staring at me. Then she did scream, but in a good way. She gives a good bear hug.

Sirius and James, of course, had to ruin the moment by wolf-whistling. Immature weirdos.

I'd best be off, shower head. Emmeline and I are meeting in the common room.

"Remus, have you seen my cologne? You know, that one you said the other day smelt really nice."

"Uhh… No."

"You sure? I could have sworn I'd left it on my bedside cabinet…"

"Well I certainly haven't taken it and put some on to impress Emmeline and then hidden the bottle in my cupboard inside my slippers."

Others stare at him.

"Whoops. Um, I'll be going now." Runs down stairs

"Sirius?"

"Yes, Prongs?"

"Do you feel like tackling a cupboard?"

"I rather do."

"Then let's do it."

Angry yells, followed by cupboard falling to the ground.

Emmeline Vance

You know, shower, some days just go by perfectly.

Remus and I have made up. Even though I went down there covered in strawberry body wash (no thanks to Dorcas), he still understood and we…

Ooh, just let me remember the moment one more time before I tell you…

Sigh. Aah.

We kissed. It was lovely. Better than anything.

I feel like dancing with the soap.

…

Damn it, I'm turning into Dorcas.

"So what happened down there, Emmeline?"

"That's disgusting Dorcas."

"Ew, I didn't mean that. I meant –"

"We kissed."

"No. Way."

"Yes way."

Squeals "Ohmigosh! That's great!! Group hug!"

This is the happiest day of my life.

Sirius Black

Dorcas is pretty cool. We're very similar. Although, I think I have a bit more sense. I certainly wouldn't try to dive into someone's hand. But she did look cute with that lump on her head.

I've been thinking, shower, that maybe we should make a truce. After all these horrible things that you and all your little cronies have done to me over the years, maybe we should just, you know, call it evens. Is that fair?

Screams

"Oh for Merlin's sake. Sirius? What have you done now?"

"IT'S THE SHOWER CURTAIN! AND THE CONDITIONER! AND THE SHAMPOO! AND THE SOAP! AND EVEN THE SOAP-FREE SOAP!"

"And what is this bunch of clearly evil objects doing to you?"

"THEY'RE KILLING ME, MOONY! THE CURTAIN'S STRANGLING ME, THE SOAP'S RUBBING IN MY EYES, THE SOAP-FREE SOAP IS TRYING TO GET ME TO EAT IT… THEY'RE TRYING TO MURDER ME!"

"This'll be a good one for the papers… 'Sirius Black: Killed By Soap and Shower Curtains'."

"COME ON, YOU GUYS! I'M SERIOUS! THEY'RE KILLING ME!"

"Ha, he's serious. And he's Sirius. Hehe."

"WORMTAIL, THAT'S NOT HELPING!"

"We should probably help him."

"Who's 'we'?"

"You're right, Moony. SORT IT OUT YOURSELF, PADFOOT!"

"WHAT? WHAT? JAMES! HELP ME!!"

"Are you sure we did the right thing?"

"Of course Wormtail. He has to learn to face his own demons."

"AARGH! GET AWAY FROM ME! I DON'T WANT YOUR FRANGIPANI FRESH SCENT!"

Lily Evans

I answered him. What else is there to say?

I went down there before and told him my answer. He was happy. I'm happy. And I don't want to get out of this shower, because Emmeline and Dorcas are just going to hug me again.

James Potter

I don't think I've ever smiled so much. I went down to the common room because Lily told me to go down there tonight and that she had an answer for me.

And she answered me, non-evil soap! (Honestly, why does Sirius hate you so?)

She answered me…

Reflection

"James?"

"Yeah, Lily?"

"I've thought about it and …"

"And?"

"Yes."

"Yes what?"

"Yes, your butt does look big in those pants."

"Really?" Twists and looks at himself. "Hmm, yeah, it does… Thanks for answering me though. Although a little earlier would have been appreciated."

"And James?"

"Yeah?"

"I really like you."

"You do? After all these –"

"I know. It's taken me so long to realize. But I do. I really do."

"Me too. Seriously."

"Did I hear my name?"

In unison "No!"

"Wanna go to Hogsmeade then?"

"Yeah. I'd love to, James."

End of reflection.

Yep, this has been a pretty good week.
