'The List'

"So…"

"Don't say that, I hate it when people say that"

"Why?"

"It's pointless"

"Sorreeeeeeey"
"Yeah you should be"

"Do you know how difficult it is to talk to you Lily?"
"I'm guessing pretty hard?"

"Just forget it"

"Nothing to forget" They resigned to their own separate corners. They had been stuck in the cupboard for about an hour. They had given up banging on the door long ago.

James was in desperate need of the list…but he couldn't get it out in front of her. She was super nosy and would come snooping around trying to read it.

He racked his brains for an answer…what was on the list? He remembered vaguely the words "heaven…fell…and baby".

"Got it!" He thought to himself.

"Hey baby, did it hurt when you fell from heaven?"

"Excuse you?" Lily asked, looking at him in a scrutinizing fashion.

"I erm…" Had this been wrong? "Oh shit" He thought to himself. That was what he shouldn't have said.

"Do you think that's funny?"

"I…I don't know…I didn't mean to say it…it just came out"

"Freak, why don't you get something sweet to say or don't say anything at all"

"You're so clever Lily, I wish I could be as clever as you, I bet your parents are so proud" She looked at him briefly and then looked away.

"You're getting warmer" James heart jumped.

"Really?"

"Well I am smart" She grinned.

"You're eyes are absolutely amazing"
"Yeah…that is true" He thought some more and after a minute or two began to say:

"Hey have you lost-" NO JAMES DON'T DO IT! He mentally slapped himself as the words 'This will most probably be the last thing you ever say' flashed across his mind.

"Lost what?"

"…a hair clip?"

"I don't think so…"

"Ok then" He leaned back against the wall and she copied.

James rolled to face the wall and pulled out the list. With the little light from his wand, his eyes scanned the page and once he knew what to do he shoved it back in his bag and turned to Lily.

"Did you know I sleep with a cuddly dog?" James blurted out.

"Pardon?"

"I do…his names Articus"

"And I wanted to know this because?"

"I dunno…I thought maybe if I told you a secret you would tell me one"

"Why would I do that?"

"Because you trust me"

"Haha!"

"I trust you" She stopped laughing and looked at him for a second. She opened her mouth and closed it again, she repeated this several times before saying:

"If I tell you a secret do you promise not to tell a single soul?"

"Of course I do"

"If you do then Articus will be the front page news of the Daily Prophet. Got it?"

"Lily…why would I jeopardise the trust you have with me" She looked at him a second through squinted eyes. He couldn't tell if this was because of her wand light or because she was considering something.

"Well the thing is…Severus and I are-"

"James! Lily?" James and Lily retreated deep into the cupboard as their eyes tried to adjust to the sudden flood of light.

"Thank God! Remus we've been in here for ages!" Lily gasped, running up to him and hugging him. James stomach dropped. What rubbish timing Remus had.

"We were just in the middle of something actually Remus" James said through gritted teeth, using his head to point in the direction of somewhere he wasn't.

"You were? Ohhh…oooh right! I'll just leave you to it then"

"No we weren't its ok" Lily smiled; she linked arms with Remus and took him off down the corridor. James stared at her dumbfounded, but before she had turned the corner she looked back at him and a small smile spread across her lips. James stomach dropped again.

"YES!" He yelled triumphantly, jumping up and down on the spot like a jack-in-the-box. A fourth year walking past shot him a dirty look to which he barked in reply, "nothing can get me down now!"

"JAMES POTTER YOU HAVE 5 SECONDS TO RUN THE FUCK AWAY BEFORE I SHOVE YOUR OWN SCROTUM DOWN YOUR THROAT!" Sirius dark eyes flashed dangerously.

"I think for once you're being Sirius…" and with that witty comment and his 2 seconds left before 'scrotum down throat time' he ran the fuck away, just as Sirius had suggested.
