Rules for Dating Lily Evans

Lily, James, and Sirius were standing at Platform 9 3/4 waiting to board the Hogwarts Express. Lily and James were talking, and Sirius left to find Remus and Peter.

When he did find Remus, he was very excited. "Moony! Good to see you, buddy! It's been a boring holiday, let me tell you..."

"Hi Sirius. Where's James?"

"Oh, he's over there with..." Sirius began, pointing in the general direction he'd just come from.

Remus, however, wasn't listening. He was staring. Staring in shock at the scene before him. James Potter was approaching him and Sirius. And a redheaded girl who looked suspiciously like Lily Evans was walking with him. Holding his hand, to be exact. As Remus watched her laugh at something James had said, he realized that it was Lily Evans. Only it couldn't be. It just couldn't, because Lily Evans would never hold hands with James Potter.

"Hey Remus," James said, smiling.

"Hi!" Lily greeted cheerfully. Although she'd never been terribly friendly with any of the Marauders, she figured this was a good time to start, seeing as she was dating one of them.

"It's funny. You look like Lily Evans, you sound like Lily Evans, but you can't be."

"James, you didn't tell him?" she asked accusingly.

James was laughing. "No. And the look on his face right now is totally worth it."

Remus was still standing there in shock, looking like a fish as he opened and closed his mouth. He finally found words. "But-but- how did this happen? When? The last time I saw you, you couldn't stand him!"

"Yes, well, things change," Sirius said impatiently, "Come on, let's go find a compartment before all the good ones are taken..."

Remus was still terribly confused as the four of them made their way to the train.

As a testimonial to how quickly gossip spread among Hogwarts students, Peter Pettigrew walked into the compartment 15 minutes later saying, "Hey James, I heard this crazy rumor that you were dating Lily..." He stopped upon seeing Lily sitting very close to James. "Oh. I see then."

She turned to her boyfriend. "James, you're not nice," she scolded him for not telling his friends.

"But you like me anyway."

"Oddly enough." Then she leaned in and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"I thought you were only going to kiss me once?"

"Oh, but that one was absolutely necessary," she said, smiling.

Sirius, who had been looking through a book, suddenly said, "I know what I did wrong with the potion!"

James looked at him. "You've only just now figured it out?"

It was a quiet morning in the Evans household. Until... "AAAAAAHHHHH!"

Petunia Evans had just woken up to find she had turned entirely purple.

A/N: Ah, a happy ending! (Albeit, a short one) I hope you liked my fic as much as I liked writing it. And now, the story is over, summer is over, and in a few days I'll be back at school. It may be a while before I write again, but I've got a few ideas...

Thank you all for reviewing!

drumer girl - Thank God, I thought it might be too much fluff.

Lady-Slytherin-Warrior

Crazy4Cocopuffs - Sirius told Harry, Ron, and Hermione not to mention his name, but to refer to him as Snuffles. It's never said where Sirius got the idea for the name from.

Bloodless death

the-power-of-love - You definitely got your point across

Siriusly Sirius Lily Black - Hmm... A sequel about what though?
