Nah, She Didn't

~ Part 7 ~ You Can Get Anything You Want, My Treat ~

Locked Away - R. City

-Lily POV-

I park the car, unlock the doors, step out, and wait for the others to do the same.

"Alright. We're seeing a horror movie," I say.

"What is that?" Marlene asks.

"Well. A movie is like... moving pictures. Wait that's already a thing... it's like a long lasting moving picture with words," I explain.

"We know what a movie is, Lily. What's a horror movie?" Sirius asks.

My cheeks turn a bit pink. "Well how was I supposed to know? And it's like a scary movie. It's supposed to scare you and freak you out for fun." I say. "We can also get movie snacks."

Their eyes light up at the explanation, especially Sirius. Always in for a little scare, that boy.

They follow me inside. "Right then. Look at the menu, and all the candy in the window. You can get anything you want, my treat."

"What? No! I'm paying! I can't let you pay!" James exclaims.

"Muggle money, remember? It's fine, really. Since I'm mostly only here in the summer, I barely even use my money. Really, James, it's fine." I tell him reassuringly. James reluctantly nods. "Alright take a look at the menu. And I'll get the Jumbo popcorn for all of us to share."

They take about 5 minutes to decide what to have. "Got your order? It's like, 5 minutes until 10:30, guys, you gotta hurry."

"I'm ready," Sirius says. "Let's blow this... augh, James, what's that saying Moony taught us? Blow this... lollipop shop! No, no, no, that's not it. Um... lemonade stand! Oh, I can feel it, I'm almost there!" Sirius thinks for a moment, then snaps his fingers in victory. "Popsicle stand! Let's blow this popsicle stand!"

I chuckle walk up to the counter, and recognize yet another face. Although this one, I didn't quite appreciate. I despised, actually. Julian Swambert. The biggest flirt. Biggest player. Biggest rude person. Disrespectful to women. And, might I add, he has a girlfriend, though this doesn't seem to stop him from sleeping with several other girls.

"Ah, Lily. Looking hot today, aren't we?" Julian asked. James's nostrils flared, and a fiery look settled in his eyes. Uh oh. James will hate Julian even more than he hated Will.

"Sod off, Julian. I'm looking to make an order, not an affair," I snap back.

"Well, you don't have a boyfriend do you? Nothing stopping you," he says. My jaw clenches.

"Well, even having a girlfriend doesn't seem to stop you. And anyways... I do have a boyfriend." Oh no Lily. What have you done? James looks taken aback. Julian just raises an eyebrow. Sirius and Marlene both share shocked looks. "Yes. I do. It's... James. Right here." James, Sirius, and Marlene catch on.

"We can change that," Julian says, and he over-dramatically winks at me, with a hungry grin. "Well, what's your order then?"

James looks as if he's about to murder something. Or someone. I speak before things can get messy, and someone takes out a wand.

"Ok. I'll have a jumbo popcorn, some Sno-Caps, and a medium fountain drink.
And um... here. You all tell him what you want," I say, indicating towards the three behind me.

Marlene speaks first. "I'll take a blue raspberry Icee and a thing of starburst." Julian, despite his horribleness, takes down her order, along with mine.

James says his order next. "Ok... let's see. I'll have a corn dog... whatever that is it sounds good... and some skittles... and some M&M's," James says. "Oh! And a large cup for the... for a fountain drink." James looks proud.

"Um.. ok. Doesn't even know what a corn dog is. Lily why are you with this idiot?" Julian asks. "And not all of this?" He indicates himself.

"Shut up and take down the order," I snap. Julian, again despite his utter retchedness, takes it down. I want to point out the fact that he has a girlfriend, but I decide against it. "Alright, Sirius."

"Ok, buddy. I'll take a large cherry Icee, a large fountain drink, a large cheese fries, a footlong corn dog, some Swedish fish, some sour patch kids, some starburst, some skittles, some m&ms, some Kit Kat's, and some Reece's peanut butter cups. OH! And the pound of cookie dough," Sirius finishes with a grin.

"Yo... you're gonna have to repeat that..." Julian says helplessly, to which Sirius goes over his order again.

Julian shouts to the back, to some blondie. "Hey! You! Cutie! You hear that?" He asks. She shakes her head. "Ughh. Great. You're gonna hafta get a jumbo popcorn, a regular corn dog, a footlong corn dog, and a large cheese fries."

Then he reaches down and grabs a medium and two large cups. He then goes to the Icee machine, and fills up a cherry and blue raspberry one. He puts those on the counter and mutters something like "Ok... drinks down."

Then he gets the candy. A thing of Sno-Caps. A thing of starburst. A thing of skittles. A thing of m&ms. A thing of Swedish fish. A thing of sour patch kids. Another starburst, skittle, and m&m thing. A thing of Kit Kat's. And a thing of Reese's peanut butter cups. He puts all of that on the counter too. Then he turns around, and puts a decently sized bucket type container on the counter. The cookie dough. Then the blondie comes up with the popcorn, two corn dogs, and the cheese fries.

Pretty sure that's all of it.

"Woah. That's 68.96 pounds, Lil." Julian says. I hand the equivalent of that, and tell him not to call me Lil. He just gives another hungry smirk.

"Oh and... 4 tickets for the movie Mansion of the Doomed," I say.

"That's £15.32," Julian says. I give him a that much. I came prepared with plenty of extra money because Merlin, was movie theatre food expensive. Julian hands me four tickets but his hand holds on to mine as I pull away. "You know, the offer still stands."

"Hand off. She's mine," James growls. Probably just playing along with the boyfriend story. I pull my hand away from Julian's and pocket the tickets.

I pile all the candy onto Sirius. I give Marlene the two corn dogs, and the cheese fries. I hand James the jumbo popcorn, (it's huge) and the cookie dough. I hold the two Icees, and the three cups, and walk over to the drink station. Julian calls after me.

"The offer always stands, babe. Long as you're always hot!" He yells. The nerve of him!

"It takes all of my energy right now not to hex him," I mutter.

"Hey, I was thinking the same thing," James growls.

"Anyways, what drinks do you all want?" I hold out one of the cups, the Icees folded into my arms. Sirius and James look for a while. Sirius asks for the Dr. Pepper because he thinks it looks most cool. James says Fanta Orange, and I'm gonna get some Fanta too. I'm still managing to hold all the drinks, and the others are doing okay as well. James, Sirius and Marlene all look amazed as I fill up the drinks.

And into the theater.

NOTES: I always tend to think of Locked Away as Sirius's kind of theme song. Right?
