Chapter 4
"Ok, so we stopped fighting." James began.
"And then I didn't want to go downstairs…" said Lily.
"So I stayed to make sure that she actually slept, when I accidentally fell asleep…" said James.
"And never bothered to tell us." Sirius said, pouting.
"Ummm… James, and well really Lily too, when James walked up the stairs, Sirius turned his hair pink, so why isn't it pink?" Peter asked timidly.
"Oh, that was me. I changed it back before Lily dragged him in. I figured that he had enough to deal with." Said Hermione while Lily blushed.
James stomach rumbled.
"Err… well I'm kinda hungry so-" James began.
"We'll be going to the kitchens for dinner, bye!" said Lily quickly.
Lily grabbed James hand and pulled him out of the room.
"Well they sure left quickly" commented Sirius.
"Well Christmas is coming up, maybe we just need to give them a little push. Sirius, didn't you say something about enchanted mistletoe?" asked Remus.
"Why, I believe I'm remembering now." Said Sirius, his eyes lighting up.
"Perfect" said Peter.
"What?" Ron and Hermione said in unison.
"We have a little plan for Jily." Said Sirius.
"OK Jily? 5 more minutes on the name Sirius." Said Remus.
"Just come here!" Sirius said to each Ron and Hermione.
Sirius whispered the plan to them. When he was done Ron's eyes began gleaming.
"Bloody Brilliant." He said.
Lily dragged James out of her dormitory through the common room and out of the portrait hole.
"Are we really going down to the kitchens?" asked James once they were in the corridor.
"Well of course, we're both starving, but then, the prank. And I have one addition." Lily answered, her eyes gleaming with something James very rarely saw.
After a speedy dinner the pair left the kitchens and went to the Great Hall.
"I'll take Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. You take Ravenclaw and Slytherin." Instructed Lily.
"What spells?" asked James.
"Anything to make sure that Sirius, Remus, Peter, Ron and Hermione have a most uncomfortable day."
"What about Harry?"
"He just stood there, he doesn't deserve punishment."
"True"
Once Lily and James were done in the Great Hall, they charmed the stairs, walls, suits of armor and best of all, classrooms.
"Tomorrow will be officially the best day ever!" Lily said while on the way back to the dorm.
"What makes it official?"
"I said it of course."
"Ah. Wake up early tomorrow, I want a good seat." Said James.
"Meet you in the common room at 6:00?"
"Deal, goodnight Lily-Flower."
"Don't call me that and goodnight James"
James kissed Lily on the cheek and Lily couldn't even fight her smile as she went to bed.
Lily hopped down the stairs to the common room the next morning. James was waiting for her.
"Lets go Lily" he said offering his hand.
She took it and said "Alright, I definitely want a good seat for this."
The pair left for the Great Hall, hands intertwined, worrying about nothing but the but the prank happening that day.
Sirius, Remus, Peter, Ron and Hermione entered the Great Hall and went to go and sit with James and Lily. James smiled coyly and Lily was a perfect mirror of James the whole time.
About midway through breakfast Sirius stood up and walked over to a slytherin named Pansy Parkinson.
"I love you Pansy and I always will!" Sirius cried with a look of pure terror on his face.
Then he walked over to McGonagall, kissed her hand and said "You too my precious little darling" he said.
Hermione then stood up and walked to Snape. She took his hand and began to dance with him. Snape proved to be a very good dancer.
"That's it!" he snarled. "Granger, new kid, detention!"
Just then little slowly moving raindrops began falling from the ceiling. As son as a single drop hit someone they professed their love for another. James cast a bubble charm over himself and Lily so they never got hit.
The students, professors and even ghosts were now yelling "I love you!" or "C'mon I know a good broom cupboard for snogging!" in some student's cases. Lily and James sat there looking around and laughing.
After 5 minutes James lifted the spell.
"As awful as that was, that was bloody brilliant mate." Said Sirius.
"Agreed" said Remus, Peter and Ron.
"What was that for!" Hermione yelled.
"I'm guessing she doesn't agree" muttered Lily.
"Payback for waking us up last night." James said innocently.
"Sirius woke you up, not me!"
"Yes, but you called everyone into the room." Lily answered.
"Fine" said Hermione grumpily.
"Where's Harry?" Remus asked.
"Dearest Harrykins got hit by a raindrop and him and Ginny ran out of the hall snogging, so probably in a broom closet somewhere. I'm so proud!" said James.
"Did you lift all of the spells or just this one?" Lily whispered to James.
"All of them. As fun as that was, I still want them speaking to us at the end of the day." James whispered back.
"Understood" Lily responded.
Harry came back an hour later with lip gloss all over his cheeks, forehead and neck. Sirius wolf whistled when he walked in.
"If you weren't my parents, I'd kill you for doing that." He said.
James chuckled.
"We know kid, we know." Said Sirius.
"Kid! We're all the same age!" said Harry.
"Mmmhhmm… All the same age" said Sirius dazed, as his eyes were following a pretty blonde across the common room.
"Sirius, we're in the future, let it go!" said Remus.
"Oh speaking of the future, any ideas on how we're getting back?" Lily asked.
"Dumbledore told us 3" said Harry motioning to himself, Ron and Hermione "That he is working on a potion that will send you back. He said it would be ready by New Years."
"Excellent! Lily, James, Harry, why don't you grab Ginny and go on a double date! As a matter of fact, take Ron and Hermione too! We have some marauder business to attend to." Said Sirius.
"Without me?" James spluttered.
"Yep, without you, now Ginny!" Sirius called.
"Yes?" Ginny asked suspiciously.
"You Harry, Ron, Hermione, James and Lily are going on a triple date!" said Sirius joyfully.
"We are?" Ginny asked as she was shoved next to Harry.
"I don't know-" Harry was cut off as Sirius shoved the 6 of them out of the portrait hole.
"What was that?" Ron asked.
"Not sure, but they're definitely up to something." Said James.
"Well in the meantime, kitchens?" said Lily.
She heard a chorus of sure's and yes's.
"Lets go then" said Hermione as she grabbed Ron's hand. Ginny took Harry's hand and Lily took James' as they headed down to the kitchens.
Once they were there James asked "So what was up with that pink toad lady in DADA and the no wands thing?"
Ginny, Harry, Ron and Hermione glared at seemingly nothing and Harry began to speak.
"Dolores Umbridge is a ministry assigned Hogwarts high inquisitor. She's inspecting teachers and believes that Voldemort hasn't returned and refuses to let us do magic. Horrid Toad." He said.
"She doesn't believe you!"Lily spat.
"No, she doesn't" said Ginny, her voice shaking with anger.
"And she used a blood quill on Harry for detention."said Hermione, showing James and Lily Harry's hand.
"The toad!" Lily screeched.
The rest of the night continued with dinner, hot cocoa, and plans to make life hell for the toad.
As soon as they were out Remus asked "Sirius, what was that for?"
"Christmas break is in a week and that enchanted mistletoe isn't going to grow itself"
"What's the enchanted part?" asked Peter.
"Once you're trapped under it you have to kiss to get out." Said Sirius quite evilly.
"That's brilliant. It'll move our cute couples along nicely." Said Peter.
"Oh yes it will" said Sirius.
Just then they heard a scream. A painstakingly familiar scream.
Oh my god! I'm so sorry! I hit a writer's block and then I kept forgetting to post, uhg! I'm not so good at this whole posting on time thing. Anyway I'm REALLY sorry that I haven't posted in so long. I probably won't have another post up anytime soon, but I have SOL's and with the end of school and everything life is hectic right now. That's not really an excuse but, I'm just saying. Anyway, I have the next chapter written, but it's not typed yet and I don't know when I'll have time to type it. I don't know, we'll see. Anyway, like it, love it, hate it? Let me know!
