Stuck With YOU
The Final Chapter Ten
By Mrs Prongs
Disclaimer: Hehehe. JK is NOT this stupid...though she owns the characters.
Author's note: This WONDERFUL FINAL chapter was written by the equally WONDERFUL
Mrs. Prongs. I have to say that my partner, Mrs. Padfoot, and I have had an
excellent time writing this and we thank you so much for all of the wonderful
reviews. Oh, and I was going to say something else, I just forgot...-Mrs. Prongs

"Well, I'd say it's one of my best ideas yet," James said.
"How many times have you said that? Wait, don't answer, but the results of
every one of them ended with us being found or on the verge of being found,"
said Lily, sighing.
James looked offended. "Well, like I said, I'm not a seer and I cannot control
people and their actions."
"Thank God," Lily said, "because then we'd all be dead by now."
"I'm offended," stated James.
"I'm sure you are. You know and I know that if you could control peoples
actions, it would be all in the name of your stupid little pleasures or on the
behalf of your laziness."
"I'm not going to even reply to that."
"Good," she said as they continued to walk down the dirt road towards the
castle.
"So where are we going this time? I'm not going back into Hogwarts until I know
I'm safe," Lily said, observing her surroundings, just to make sure that someone
wasn't going to suddenly pop out around the corner and be stuck with them.
"Why so anxious, Lily dear?," asked James, who was noticing her jumpy behavior.
"I swear James Potter, if I get stuck with someone else because of you and this
stupid little game, I'll strangle you," she threatened.
"I think you've already tried, if you haven't forgotten," James said, reminding
her of the little "incident" in the first floor corridor.
"I've already apologized for that, now would you just tell me where we're
going?!," asked Lily, a little annoyed.
"The Forbidden Forest," he stated simply.
Lily went into a state of shock.
"What's wrong?," asked James, a little upset.
Lily started looking around quickly.
"What are you doing?," he asked, trying to get her attention.
"I'm looking for somewhere to run to."
"Why?"
"WHY? WHY? JAMES POTTER YOU KNOW DAMN GOOD AND WELL WHY. I'm running away from
YOU. There is no way in HELL that you're dragging me into the Forbidden Forest!
Has it slipped your mind as to why it's called the FORBIDDEN Forest?! Maybe
because it's dangerous, but you know, I wouldn't know because I haven't been
there and I'm not planning to anytime soon. ESPECIALLY NOT IN THE NAME OF A
STUPID CHILDREN'S GAME!"
**
Lily sat on a bed of leaves wondering where her life had gone terribly wrong.
Why was she sitting on the Forbidden Forest's edge with none other than James
Potter? How had he convinced her to come here? One minute she was trying to get
away from him, and the next minute she's putting her own life in danger just to
win a game of Sardines. A game that she had been threatened into playing, mind
you. And why was she the victim? That's something she couldn't remember either
and was planning to ask Sirius the next time she saw him. Of course, she wasn't
sure she would let him live long enough just so she could ask an obviously, at
this point, petty little question.
"So, how long do you think it will take them to find us NOW?!," came a voice
from beside her.
Lily turned to see James smiling triumphantly.
"Please don't tell me you think this is a good idea," she groaned.
"As a matter of fact, I DO think it's a good idea. I know no one will find us
now. I mean, who is stupid enough to come into the Forbidden Forest?"
Lily mumbled under her breath something that James couldn't hear.
"What was that?," he asked.
"I said," Lily took a deep breath here,"OF COURSE NO ONE IS GOING TO LOOK HERE!
YOU'RE the only one idiotic enough to be here. If there ever was an award handed
out to the dumbest person of all man kind, you'd be the recipent. There your
name would be, in shining gold letters, on a plaque that said 'Dumbest Huming
Being Alive'," she said, motioning her hands along with her.
"Yea, that would be cool, woudn't it?," said James, nodding his head in
agreement.
"URGH! FORGET IT! I'm going up to the castle now! You can come with me if you
want to. I really DO NOT CARE if I lose. I DO NOT CARE if the whole school tries
to kill me, because I have a better chance of living up there than I do down
here!," she yelled, standing up and wiping the leaves off of her school robes.
"Evans!," said James, clearly upset,"You can't just go now!"
"THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID FIVE BLOODY HOURS AGO!," she screamed and started for the
school. There was a ruffling of twigs and leaves about twenty feet behind her
and she abrubtly stopped.
"What was that?," she whispered to James who was standing next to her.
"I don't know, just be quiet and do not move," he said, turning around.
There, standing in front of James and behind Lily, was a centuar.
"What are you doing in our forest, humans?," the centaur asked, crossing his
arms.
"Erm, I, we, I mean, I," James stuttered, a look of fear overcoming his face.
He could feel Lily beside him.
"James?," Lily whispered with fright tinting her voice, "I'd think we'd better
run."
"Right." At that, the both ran for their lives, out of the Forbidden Forest,
over the grounds and all the way up the steps and did not stop until they were
in the Entrance Hall.
As soon as they were safely inside, Sirius exited the Great Hall.
"I FOUND THEM!," he screamed to the people behind them, "I FOUND LILY AND
JAMES! THE GAME IS OVER!" James and Lily heard "awws" coming from inside the
Great Hall as Sirius walked up towards them
"Wow! That's the longest game of Sardines I have ever played, and the most
succesful one too," he said, shaking James's hand, "How did you do it? Only TWO
people at the end of a FOURTEEN HOUR game."
"Fourteen hours?," Lily said astounded, "and twelve of them with James Potter?"
"Yup," said Sirius, smiling.
"I swear this has been the worst day of my life," she said, groaning.
James spoke up. "Was everyone still playing up to this point?"
"Well, mostly. I think about one fourth of us went to bed, half of them cursing
and saying they were going to kill Lily Evans in morning," Sirius replied.
Lily groaned again.
"Well, I'm off to the common room," Sirius said,"are you two coming?"
"Yeah," said James, answering for the both of them.
Sirius, Lily and James ascended seven flights of stairs, went through the Fat
Lady's portriat, and settled down in the common room. To Sirius's surprise,
James and Lily were sitting on the same peice of funiture, and not uttering a
rude word between them.
After about 20 minutes of Lily and James explaining the whole story to Sirius,
Remus, Peter, and about everyone else in Gryffindor house, Remus stated he was
going to bed and he suggested the rest of the house do as well because they had
mid semester exams tomorrow.
When everyone was up in their dormitories, excluding James and Lily, who had
explained that they were too tired to move, Lily spoke.
"You know, it might sound crazy, but I had fun today. Even though you managed
to do something stupid every five minutes."
"I had fun too, even though Sirius got lucky before me, I doubt I'll ever be
allowed in Honeydukes again and we almost got killed by centuars."
Lily giggled and rested her head on James's shoulder. James raised his eyebrows
but said nothing. Two minutes later they were both fast asleep on the common
room sofa together.
THE END.
Author's Note...Again: Mrs. Padfoot, the idiot, wants to know your thoughts on
the story, so if you can, please tell us in your review what your favorite
chapter was and what your favorite line was. Thanks, Mrs. Prongs.
