SHUT UP! IT'S A SECRET
A/N: Hi guys! I'm temporarily stopping the Love's Legacy series…I'm in a severe writer's block on that one! However…I HOPE to finish that one soon….. ANYWAY…this fic is MWPP…they're in their 7th year at Hogwarts. James and Lily STILL don't get along (maybe they will later on…who knows? *g*)…oh yeah…new character, Skye Martin. READ ON AND MERRY CHRISTMAS….MWWWWWAAAAAHHHHH!
***If I get enough reviews…I MIGHT just turn this into a series
BAM! A thick book fell to the floor (after Sirius Black used it to whack Peter Pettigrew on the head. hehe)
Madam Pince jumped up and stalked over to the group.
"For the last time, be quiet!" she hissed. The Potter Gang, as they were infamously known, ducked behind their books and tried their best to look sheepish. Sirius Black ruined the effect by snorting out loud.
With a final glare and a last round of threats, the librarian left the group and went back to her desk.
As soon as she did, the group burst into silent giggles.
Sirius stood up and imitated the angry librarian, rolling his eyes and shaking a disapproving finger.
"Sirius! Stop! My sides are aching!" begged Lily Evans, breathless from laughter. Her pleading earned her a reproachful look from Madam Pince.
"Tsk tsk tsk Lily. As Head Girl, you should be setting us an example." Admonished Skye Martin, Lily's best friend, as well as being a female Sirius Black counterpart when it came to mischief.
"Yeah, Lil. You should make us behave." Agreed Sirius, managing to look utterly innocent. Remus Lupin gave another snort.
"Its all your fault, Lily!" hissed Peter, sounding as though he meant it (which he probably did, since he hated Lily Evan's guts)
Lily just rolled her eyes. She was used to getting this kind of flak from her friends. They found it endlessly funny to tease her about being Head Girl. To quote from Sirius : "You, Lily Evans, are a disgrace to all mischief-makers all over the world. What kind of a marauder are you?" he had said in mock outrage. Lily had just laughed it off.
"Oh yeah? Then why is it that no one is giving Head Boy Potter over there a heard time?" she said, indicating James Potter who was watching the scene with a smile playing about his lips.
"Because, Evans, even though I may be carrying the shame of being Head Boy, I am STILL the best prankster in Hogwarts. Unlike some stick-in-the-mud people I happen to know…" he smirked.
"Hey! I resent that! I'm the best prankster in Hogwarts!" protested Sirius.
"No, I am!" Skye shouted. She jumped up and pretended to throttle Sirius' neck.
"Hey guys, be serious." Said Remus calmly. Peter was just staring with his mouth open, trying to think of a witty line so that he could be part of the conversation.
"I AM serious!" said Skye
"No, I'm Sirius!"
The entire group groaned at the overused serious-Sirius joke.
"THAT'S IT! I'VE HAD ENOUGH! OUT! OUT ALL OF YOU!"
They all jumped at the sound of Madam Pince's voice. They hadn't realized that she had stomped over to them when they got too loud.
Before they knew it, they were assisted none too gently out the library.
*
The group, since they were kicked out of the library, decided to head out to the lake.
As, they were walking, James and Lily (quite expectedly) got into another argument.
"Oh yeah right Potter. As if I would ever kiss you!" Lily shouted
"The question is, Evans, would I want your disgusting kisses?" shot back James. They had stopped walking and were now staring each other down.
The others stopped walking as well and gathered around to watch.
"Ooohhh! Jamsie-boy and Lily-flower are having a lover's quarrel!" said Sirius gleefully. He received two matching glares.
"What's this fight about?" asked Remus. Without taking her eyes off James, Lily answered him.
"Potter here asked me the stupidest question." She said grimly.
"Aaannnd…what is this 'stupid question'?" prodded Skye
"I asked her - " said James through gritted teeth
"What did you ask her?" squeaked Peter
"IaskedhertogowithmetotheBall!" James said in a rush. Lily groaned and tried to shove James.
"WHAT? Did I hear that correctly?" Sirius said and pretended to clean out his ears.
"So James…a classic case of the saying: the more you hate, the more you love, eh?" grinned Remus
("Hey! I never said I loved her!" James was protesting.)
"Ahhh…so Lily…did you say yes?" grinned Skye. Lily was scarlet faced and muttered something no one could understand.
"What? We can't hear you!" Sirius asked
"I said…I said…YES!" Lily shouted the last word in a fit of exasperation. Her announcement was met with whoops, giggles and howls (Sirius) from her friends.
"Aww…isn't that sweet. She's so excited, she wants the whole school to know." Sighed in Skye in mock rapture.
("Hey! I never said I was excited to go with him!" protested Lily in vain)
James looked at her evilly and Lily took a menacing step towards Skye. Remus, sensing that Lily and James were both in one-more-word-and-I'm-gonna-murder-you moods, decided to intervene.
"Guys, guys. I think that's enough for now. Leave their new found relationship (glares from the general direction of James and Lily. Remus gulped) alone. Besides, you all seem to have forgotten that we were on our way out to the lake to plan the fall of Snape." He said.
"Oh all right. Come, Skye. Let's lead the way." Sirius said, sounding like a kid being deprived of his favorite candy.
"Yeah. Lets start with our plans." Skye said looking meaningfully at James and Lily.
As they turned to follow the two, James got the sinking realization that their…plans…were not about Severus Snape.
*
AT THE LAKESIDE…
"Okay… its settled then. A howler at breakfast (care of Skye), a 24 hour itching potion in his robes (care of Sirius), canary creams in his food (care of James), shoe levitating charm (care of Lily) and a hair curling hex (care of Remus)." Enumerated Sirius. The group had sat by the lake for almost an hour now, planning the total humiliation of their favorite enemy, Severus Snape.
"What about me? What can I do?" put in Peter
"Umm…" Sirius stalled and looked at James who just shrugged. No one in the group really liked Peter. They just let him tag along so that his feelings won't get hurt.
"Umm...well…you can be the distraction." Put in Lily
"Yeah! While we're setting up, you can…er…get Snape's attention." Added Skye
"That's right! You get the most important job, Peter." Sirius said, trying to stifle a snort.
Peter beamed with pride at having the key role in the prank.
Lily rolled her eyes and flopped onto her back.
"Good idea, Lil. Thinking of pranks makes me sleepy." Skye said and joined her best friend on the grass
"Ooohh! Two girls flat on their backs! This I gotta be a part of!" Sirius grinned and lay down beside them.
"You are such a pervert, Si." Remus shook his head and lay down beside Sirius
("Speak for yourself." Muttered Sirius)
"I guess birds of a feather flock together." Laughed James and lay down on the other side of Lily.
("oohhhhh….mr. and mrs. Potter" squealed Skye, only to be elbowed by Lily).
Peter sighed and tried to scrunch in between Remus and Sirius.
After a few more minutes of heckling and teasing, each member of the group fell silent, each lost in their own thoughts. (except for Peter, who fell asleep)
Sirius thoughts:
"Hehe. Snape won't know what hit him. Gosh…we are soooo evil. That's why I love this group. This oughta earn…oh…a week of detention. I can't wait to see Minnie's face. I bet we're her favorite detentionees, God love her. *grumble* Shut up tummy! Oh man…speaking of which, I haven't eaten since breakfast! I'm a growing boy… I need sustenance! I wonder what's for lunch…good old house elves…at least I can always count on them to serve a rip roaring meal.
Aha! Wormtail is sleeping with his mouth open again. (here, Sirius, stuck a blade of grass in between the little boy's open lips). Beats me why he always has to hang out with us. Got no other friends I suppose. Hmmm… this is getting boring. Maybe we could go to Hogsmeade later. I really want to go to Zonko's. I hear they've got a graet new hexing box. Oops. That's right. I'm running low on galleons. Nah. It doesn't matter. Jamsie always has a pocket rattling with coins. I wonder if the girls will want to come. Which reminds me, I gotta talk to Skye about James and Lily. Who would have guessed that he would ask her to the ball? I mean James, King of Heartbreak? Come on…he could have anyone in this school. Not that I'm surprised that he asked Lily, I mean, she IS drop dead gorgeous, not to mention a first rate prankster…even if she IS Head Girl…but Lily?!? I always though you couldn't stand her. And I quote: "I'm only putting up with Evans because she's yours and Remus' and Skye's friend." Well, well. Hehe. I better keep a closer eye on you, Romeo.
Speaking of the ball, who the HELL do I ask out? Since James is taking Lily, maybe I can get Skye to come. No romantic expectations there but at least I'll have fun. Yeah….Skye"
Skye thoughts:
"Oh...Sirius is looking at me. Be still my fluttering heart! Oh snap out of it Skye! He can't possibly know that you care for him. (here, Sirius stuck out his tongue) I knew it. I swear. If he doesn't ask me to the ball, then I will ask him! Lucky Lil. At least her dream guy asked her, even though she doesn't know that James IS her dream guy. I can't believe how dense two incredibly smart people can be!
Eww…what IS Sirius doing? (she was watching as he Sirius stuck a blade of grass up Peter's nose). Well…its only Peter anyway. I can't believe that he's still around. I wish he could go bug some other group. Fat chance anyone else would take him…oh well…one can wish. *grumble* ohhh…I'm hungry. I wish James hadn't dragged us off during lunch to play that prank on Filch. No. Wait. I take that back. I'm willing to miss 10 lunches just to see the look on Mrs. Norris' face. That was priceless!
Anyway…back to the main question: How do I get Sirius to ask me out? Maybe I could kidnap him and gag him until he agrees to be my date. Nah. Too desperate. Maybe I could slip some love potion into his pumpkin juice. Nah. Not my style. Maybe I can seduce him in my nighty. Nah. I'm not THAT perverted. Arrggghh….Dammit Sirius! Just ask me!"
Remus thoughts:
"Of all the rotten luck. It's a full moon on the night of the ball. Now I'll never get the chance to ask that pretty Ravenclaw prefect, Miranda. I hate being a werewolf! A healthy, red-blooded adolescent shouldn't have to go through this! It puts a serious damper on my lovelife. What do I say to my dates? 'Hi! I'm Remus Lupin. I've loved you for a long time but didn't have the guts to ask you. By the way, I'm a werewolf.' Oh yeah…right…that would be smooth. Wow…almost 15 minutes have passed and no one is whacking anyone. Go James! Go Lily! I always knew they would get together. James always looks as though he can't decide whether to kill or kiss Lily.
I really wish I could get someone to make that wolfsbane potion for me. Its too bad we hate Snape and vice versa. He's the only one in Potions good enough to make that kind of a potion. What on EARTH is Sirius doing with Wormtail? His face looks like a carpet from all that grass. A definite improvement I think…Hehe"
Peter thoughts:
(none. He's fast asleep…if he WERE dreaming of something…that's not our concern…besides…who cares?)
Lily thoughts:
" Why does everyone have to make such a big deal about James taking me to the Ball? He's only taking me as a friend…if you can call us friends…ooohhhh…If only he didn't act like such a macho, overconfident jerk half the time, then maybe I could like him. I mean, he just encourages those silly girls that drool all over his robes. He gets his daily ego fix every morning! No wonder he has such as bloated head…Then why did I accept? I don't know…I guess he just looked pathetic…poor guy. *snort* yeah right. James 'King of Heartbreak' Potter, pathetic? No Lily. Admit it. You don't hate James as much as you say. Okay fine. You actually like the guy. Just the tiniest bit. Okay. More than just a tiny bit. The way the breeze wafts through his messy hair….God how I'd love to run my hands through it!… How his brown eyes sparkle….WAIT! HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, EVANS! What the hell am I thinking? That's James, James Potter you're thinking about. You know, the guy who branded you as carrots and flame head in your first year, who hung your underwear on the tower, who keeps getting you into detentions……and who stole your heart. Get a grip Evans. Don't go acting like those silly girls who follow Potter around just because he asked you to the Ball. Remember not to lose your head. Okay, brain. Time to change the topic.
I wish Sirius would ask Skye. They would be perfect together. They both love pranks, their both notorious and they both don't have dates yet. Not that anyone hasn't tried. At least 7 different guys have asked out Skye in the past 3 hours. Sirius better hurry up. Hmm…I wonder who Remus is taking. I don't think I've seen him fancy any girl so far. Ewww…..you're getting sentimental Evans.
Oh no! NEWTS are the week after the ball. I haven't even started studying yet. Damn Potter for keeping me busy with all his mischief. Arrgghh! What possessed me to get him as my tutor for transfiguration? Other than the fact that he's the best in the class…and that he's so cute. I must be crazy! I hope I can make it up in Charms. Then again, there's also Potions….uggghhh….Oh what is Sirius doing to that mound of grass?"
James thoughts:
"I can't believe I did that…I can't believe I did that…I can't believe I did that! Damn! Why DID I do that? Why did I ask her? She's totally annoying, doesn't know when to shut up, can't accept defeat and won't stop fighting with him. Because you like her, that's why. No I don't! yes you do! She's sweet, she's the most gorgeous girl in Hogwarts, she's incredibly smart and she doesn't chase after you. This is all Lily's fault! Now she was turning him into a damn schizophrenic! Pretty soon, I'll be a raving lunatic. One that's crazy over her…HOLD IT POTTER! Enough already…Besides, Sirius and Skye will have a field day. If I didn't know any better, they're both thinking of ways to torture me and Lily subtly, slowly and effectively. I yearn for the day that those two fall in love. Then I'll get my revenge.
Wow…Lily looks like an angel when she closes her eyes. No…Fight it Potter…remember how she made you grow an extra pair of arms. Such smooth skin….remember how she made you miss the Hogwarts Express…such loevely kissable lips…NO!!!!!!
I've gotta get over her. Besides…this is pointless. How can I ever make her care for me? I mean, SUPPOSEDLY, we hate each other's guts. I want that to change. I'll make my move at the Ball. Hopefully, I'll score. I mean. No one has been able to resist the good 'ol Potter charm before.
What the HELL is Sirius doing behind that mountain of grass? That wasn't there before….oh well….wonder where Peter is…hope he went and bugged someone else. I'm really getting tired of his tagging along. Oh Lily…"
ARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!
The peace of the air was shattered when a half smothered shriek came from the small hill of grass that Sirius was building.
The entire group began to laugh uncontrollably when a very grass-covered Peter emerged from the pile. He was sputtering and coughing and trying his best to glare and Sirius who was rolling on the ground in a fit of laughter.
Remus and Lily did their best to dust off the poor boy and then lead him back to the castle while the otehrs followed.
All had one though it mind:
"I am so glad that no one can hear my thoughts."
A/N: Did ya like it? Hope ya did…be generous and please review…think of it as your Christmas gift to me! Happy Holidays!!
A/N: Hi guys! I'm temporarily stopping the Love's Legacy series…I'm in a severe writer's block on that one! However…I HOPE to finish that one soon…..

What the HELL is Sirius doing behind that mountain of grass? That wasn't there before….oh well….wonder where Peter is…hope he went and bugged someone else. I'm really getting tired of his tagging along. Oh Lily…"
ARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!
The peace of the air was shattered when a half smothered shriek came from the small hill of grass that Sirius was building.
The entire group began to laugh uncontrollably when a very grass-covered Peter emerged from the pile. He was sputtering and coughing and trying his best to glare and Sirius who was rolling on the ground in a fit of laughter.
Remus and Lily did their best to dust off the poor boy and then lead him back to the castle while the otehrs followed.
All had one though it mind:
"I am so glad that no one can hear my thoughts."
