"Not you!" She whined.
"My apologies, Miss Evans. Shall I go and fetch a better head boy?" James said jokingly.
"Yeah, Potter," She sneered, "Maybe Snape,"
"Uh-huh. Maybe you could go and fetch me a better head girl. Lindsey Ash is one of Hogwarts' top scholars and she very recently dyed her hair red… she could replace a certain witch that I know," He said sarcastically.
"Stupid git," Lily said.
"I don't know about stupid," He said. "Now can we get on with this head sex thing?"
"Excuse me?" Lily demanded.
"You know, planning dances and parties for the upcoming year. I thought you knew what that-"
"Never mind," She said, pulling out a piece of parchment and an eagle feather quill. "When are we going to have the ball? It has to be on one of the holidays. Maybe Halloween. Any ideas?"
"Maybe a Halloween ball would be good…" James said
Why are you so interested in the ball anyways?" Lily asked.
"Because I want to ask my girlfriend to go with me," James explained.
"Your girlfriend?" Lily asked.
"My girlfriend," James declared. "I think I can feel some sort of jealousy in our head girl, is that it?"
"Absolutely not. Why would I be jealous of a girl who went out with you? I'd feel sympathy, that's what I'd feel," She said harshly.
For an hour they planned future Hogsmeade visits, parties, Quidditch games and feasts while occasionally sharing a few personal issues.
Your friend," James insisted, "Lauren. She likes me, doesn't she? It's really pretty pitiful for anyone to fancy me because I like you, Lily, and everyone knows that. But she likes me, doesn't she?"
"Absolutely. She fancies you almost as much as you fancy me. You know, you really hurt her when you two went out last year and you just dumped her like that… That was really mean of you," Lily said.
"I apologized to her. Besides, all she could talk about was Sirius. It's so obvious that she likes him, even if she won't admit it. He likes her to death," James explained, "But agree with me on this one, Sirius and Lauren would be a perfect couple, wouldn't they?"
"Oh my god, yes," Lily said, "And so would Raven and Remus. He really likes her, doesn't he? Too bad she likes Sirius… And Rebecca likes Peter and Peter likes… who?"
"Lindsey Ash," James said, laughing.
"That awful girl? The Ravenclaw prefect?"
"Yeah, that's what I said. I don't know why he likes her, but he does. A lot. But not as much as I like you, Lily," James said.
"Um… yeah. I think I'm going to go to my compartment now." Lily said.
"Me too. See you around, Lily."
"Wait, James?" Lily asked.
"Yes, Lily-flower?"
"Who's your girlfriend?"
"You are, silly," James said, turning away and heading back to his compartment.
James returned to his compartment to find Sirius holding Remus down while Peter was slamming cupcakes in his face.
"Help me, James!" Remus cried while another cake was slammed into his mouth.
James pulled Sirius off of Remus.
"Thanks mate. These JERKS were smashing cupcakes in my face because I dared Wormtail that he couldn't tackle Padfoot and then they rebelled against me. Damn pricks."
"It's alright, Moony. You could kick Wormy's ass any day, but I'm not exactly sure about Padfoot… Wormy's weak as hell though," James said.
"Hey! This hurts, doesn't it?" Peter cried, kicking James in the kneecaps. James collapsed.
"OW!" James shouted, rubbing his knees.
"Wormy's a savage, isn't he?" Sirius said, helping James get up.
"Damn you, Peter! I'm going to kill you!" James screamed, chasing Peter out of the compartment and down the hall. Peter ran as fast as he could, but James threw a tripping spell at him, so Peter crawled into the nearest compartment. Peter looked around and saw the whole Mafia.
"Hi there, Peter," Rebecca said, shyly.
"Um, Hey there, Becca. Is it okay if I can hide from James? He's after my blood," Peter explained.
"Oh, that's perfectly fine," Lauren said, "If Jamie comes in here, I'll take care of him… We might need a broom closet, but he'll be taken care of,"
"Nobody wants to hear your perverted fantasies, Lauren. Especially fantasies with James Potter. Honestly, Sirius totally likes you and you should go out with him," Lily said.
"But I like Sirius!" Raven yelled.
"Yeah, but Remus likes you," Lily said.
"Who wants to go out with a werewolf?" Raven exclaimed.
"How do you know that Moony's a werewolf?" Peter asked.
"It's very obvious," Lily explained, "Disappearances at the full-moon of each month, he has a nickname `Moony' and he did his report on them last year in Binns' class. What do you expect from us?"
The door slammed open and James entered.
"So, Peter, you think you can kick me in the shins and get away with it, do you?" James was suddenly distracted by Lily. "Hi Lily-flower… What's up?"
"I'll tell you what's up!" Peter shouted, "They know about Moony and why he's called Moony!"
"How do they know?" James asked.
"It's pretty obvious, James. Remus disappears once a month, he's called `Moony' but the only thing I don't get is the rest of your guys' nicknames, but I'll find out soon…" Lily said.
"Lily, as much as I like you, I have to say, it's almost impossible for you to know about that," Peter said.
"Now, Peter, don't underestimate my Lily-flower," James said, "She could be really close for all we know,"
"Your Lily-flower? James, I will never be yours," Lily said.
"I'm afraid you're mistaken, Lily. You will be mine and I will be yours until we die side by side." James said. "Now, are you guys just going to sit around and read witch weekly-or whatever you women read-or are we going to make something of our final train ride to Hogwarts?"
"Let's play spin the bottle," Rebecca insisted.
"How about the official Marauder game?" James asked.
"What's that?" Lily asked.
"Dare or dare," Peter explained.
"You mean truth or dare," Lily said.
"No, dare or dare. You get dared. Truths are for sissies," James said, "sissies like Peter," Peter scowled at James.
"Alright," Lauren said, scooting closer to James, "Let's play. James, dare or dare?"
"I'm going to have to say… dare," He responded.
"Alright, James. I dare you to moon us," Lauren said. Peter broke out laughing.
"Fine," James said, kicking Peter in the leg. He could have sworn he saw Lily's face light up when he said that. James turned around and quickly dropped his pants. At the same time, the door opened and James tried to run while at the same time, Sirius and Remus entered the compartment.
"Sick! PRONGS MATE! I'M NOT LIKE THAT! I LIKE LAUREN AND I'M STRAIGHT! I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU WITH YOUR PANTS DOWN!" Sirius screamed.
"Sirius, we're playing dare or dare! Now grow up!" James said.
"You grow up, you're the one running around with your pants down," Sirius snapped.
"Somebody's PMSing…" Lauren said.
"Oh hi there, Lauren," Sirius said goofily. "How was your summer?"
"You know perfectly well how it was," Lauren said, "You owled me every day and you came over to my house twice!"
"Well, you wouldn't owl me back, so I got worried and I checked up on you a few times…"
"Sirius, I had to owl you back because your damn owl kept biting me so I finally had my dog attack your bird if it came to my house anymore. Look at these scars!" Lauren showed scars all over her hands and wrists.
"I'm sorry baby," Sirius said, showing his big, cute and tear-filled puppy dog eyes to Lauren, who quickly looked away.
"Sirius, stop those puppy dog eyes… Please, please stop it!" She cried, looking away.
"Will you go out with me?" He asked.
"No way!" He shone his puppy dog look at her again.
"Please, please, please with sugar on top!" He cried.
"Fine! You win."
"Will you come into the compartment over and let me take your clothes off with my teeth?" He asked, flashing his puppy dog look at her.
"Hell no! I'm not some slut like those damn Slytherins!" She said. "Now, can we finish the game of dare or dare?"
"Yeah," Lily said, "Dare or dare, Sirius?"
"Dare." He replied, putting his arm over Lauren who quickly pulled away.
"Alright, Sirius. I dare you to ask out McGonagall," She said, rolling on the ground in laughter. "Ask her out to the Halloween ball!"
"Aright, I will ask McGonagall to the ball. Dare or dare, Lily," Sirius asked.
"Why do you even say that? Either way, you pick dare," She said, trying to buy herself time.
"Fine. Dare it is," Sirius said, rubbing his hands together. "I dare you to kiss Prongs on the lips for 30 seconds." James' eyes almost popped out of his head in excitement.
"No way! I wouldn't do that for a thousand galleons!" She cried.
"But you have to," Sirius said, "Or else you can run naked down the halls,"
"If he wasn't here, I'd run down the halls," Lily said, gesturing to James. "Come here, James." James quickly scooted towards Lily who quickly placed her lips on his and held them there for thirty seconds. After the thirty seconds was over, she quickly pulled away and wiped her mouth off.
"That's what I've been asking for throughout these seven years," James said, messing up his hair.
"That was disgusting!" Lily screamed.
"Dare or dare, Wormtail," James said.
"Dare," Peter said quietly. He was afraid because he always got the worst dares.
"I dare you," James said, "I dare you to go into the Slytherin girls' compartment and make out with the ugliest bloke in there, even if she refuses."
Peter moaned.
"No way! I'll do the alternative dare." He said.
"Fine then. Take off your clothes and run naked down the halls screaming bloody murder. This time, with a twist. You have to be screaming about your undying love for pink heels. If someone asks you if you're okay, scream `I love pink heels' and run away."
Peter took off his clothes and ran naked down the halls screaming bloody murder about his undying love for pink heels.
That was the best game of Dare or dare in Hogwarts' history.
