The new marauder

Chapter 71

"I saw you staring at Jame's butt today."

"What?! I was not staring at his butt!"

"Tell that to your flushing face."

She's silent for a minute, as if she's having a battle with her self.

"Let's say that i was, which i wasn't, what would you say?"

"I'd say project Lames."

"What?"

"That's yours and James Ship name."

"I know that but, Lames? Really?"

"James wanted it to be Jily."

"I prefer Jily."

"Another reason you and James to hook up."

"Hook up? Maybe not in this present time, perhaps in a year."

"Is this you saying that in a year you might hookup with James?"

"If i got to know him first, and i know that he's matured. Then perhaps."

"Okay, now all i need to do is find someone for Remus and Peter."

"What are you Cupid?"

"Who?"

"Never mind."

"Oh, muggle reference?"

"Yeah."

"That reminds me! I need your help."

"With what?"

"Muggle studies homework, we have to list the function of esclalators or something."

"Escalators?"

"Yeah those things."

"Alright."

She begins to help me, and i try my best to concentrate.

Not everyday your one best friend tells you they'd hook up with your other best friend.

Casually.

"We should do something all as one, so you can get to know James more."

"Like what?"

"Hogsmeade, all of us?"

"If the others want to then sure, but i'm only putting up with so much."

"Okay, he'll be on his best behavior."

I leave Lily in the dorm and make my way up to the boys' dorm.

I close the door behind me and sit on Jame's bed, waiting for him to finish writing.

He briefly looks up and eyes my excited look.

"What's up?"

"Lily agreed to go to hogsmeade with us all if you behave yourself."

He stops writing all together, and looks at me.

As does the others.

"Really?"

I nod.

I can see the glimmer in his eyes, and i can only imagine he's screaming inside.

He plays it cool though and goes back to writing his essay.

"Cool."

"You're next Remus."

"What do you mean?"

"Your turn to find someone to go out with."

"Who would go out with me?"

"I would, if i wasn't dating your best friend."
