Synchronicity I

Liesel trotted all the way to Lily's dorm room, her face still as red as it had been in the lavatory. She knocked on the door and opened it, then peeked in praying that she had the right room as she had lost track of the doors as she passed them.

Lily turned around and she saw Liesel's face and started giggling. "I tried to stop you, to let you know!"

Liesel nodded. "Sure you did," she replied as she rolled her eyes.

"I take it that you saw...something?

"Yeah, you could say that..." It was her turn to grin.

"Oh? Yours or mine? Both?" She wiggled her eyebrows.

She sat on the edge of Lily's bed. "Well, both actually."

Lily's eyes grew wide as she sat on the bed and took Liesel's hands in hers. "You must tell me everything!"

"There's nothing to tell really," Liesel said. "James lost his glasses and didn't see me right away."

Lily sat next to her. "Oh?"

"Mmhmm. Sirius thinks I'm scarred for life now," she giggled.

"Alright. Wait! Why?"

"Well, when James came out of the shower, he didn't even  have a towel around him or anything and I'm guessing that he can't see a  thing without his glasses?"

Lily nodded. "Yes, that's right."

She  relayed the chain of events to her, James exiting the shower, looking  for his towel and his glasses, getting yelled at by Sirius, grabbing  Sirius' towel when he realized that she was not on the other side of the  door...

"Why? He's not horrible, is he," she lowered her voice to a whisper.

"No. Wait. Who?"

"Why James, of course!"

"Oh. No he's not horrible or anything!"

"And Sirius is?"

"No! I only saw his bum. And his chest. And his arms. And his legs." She sighed contentedly as she smiled.

"Tell me about James!" She moved closer and whispered, "please tell me...he's not tiny is he?"

"God, Lily! I don't know! I didn't go staring at it or anything!"

"Oh well, I know that!" Lily's face turned a lovely shade of scarlet.

"Jeeze! You've only decided to start dating him and your mind is already on his boy-bits?"

"Well, no, not at all! It's just that...oh, I don't know! Have you ever, you know?"

Liesel shook her head. "No. You?"

Lily shook her head. "No." She huffed a sigh. "I just, you know, don't want to be disappointed. And I certainly don't want to disappoint him either."

Liesel grinned. "Oh, I don't think he'll be disappointed, and I don't think you'll be either. Don't worry!"

Lily breathed a sigh of relief. "I saw him in his pajamas a few times." She grinned finally. Then her eyes became large again. "Oh god!"

"What!"

"He's not hairy is he!" She whispered as if she were afraid she'd be heard by the walls.

Liesel rolled her eyes. "I wasn't looking at him that hard, Lily!"

Lily raised her brow at her new friend. "What about Sirius?"

"What about him?"

"Do you think you'll be disappointed?"
