Arguments
The rain was pouring down uncontollably, splashing at the windows. There was a huge fog that was so thick, you couldn't see your own hand in front of you. It was the worst storm of the year so far. Five girls in their weekend clothes were sitting in their room chatting. They were the best of friends, and closer than any five people could get. Their outter appearences were all incredibly different, and their personalities were too, but that didn't ever stop them from being the best of friends.
"I swear, spending one more year with Potter is enough to completely drive me mad," Lily complained in the dormitory.
"He's really not as bad as you think, Lily. He's a really great friend. Which reminds me, I should go see him and Remus," Ashley said with one of her mysterious smirks. "See you all later."
Ashley hurried down the stairs, and made her way to where the Marauders were seated. James was reading a Quidditch magazine, Remus was reading a book, and Sirius and Peter were playing Exploding Snap.
Ashley was incredibly close with Remus and James. She thought Sirius to be an arrogant jerk, and didn't really hang around Peter too much. But she had to put up with Sirius. The only thing that really forced them to hang out was Remus and James. Ashley was the first to figure out that Remus was a werewolf, and helped him through it more than any of the guys.
The next day, which was Saturday, Ashley sat quietly in the common room, reading a muggle book, when she heard a familiar voice.
"Hey, Hartford," Sirius Black said kindly, but Ashley knew better.
"What do you want, Black?" Ashley said, not bothering to look up from her book.
"Nothing. Dear Prongsie would like me to inform you that Quidditch game was rescheduled for Tuesday. He said not to sweat it though, because you're the best keeper he's ever seen," Sirius replied, and then of course had to add, "but I've deffinitely seen better."
"You're kindness is too much to bare," Ashley said in a bored tone.
"No, not kindness. Just honesty," he replied with a shrug.
"Don't you have a broom cupboard to be in or something?" Ashley asked, finally looking up from her book.
"Your words hurt," Sirius said, pretending to be offended. Ashley rolled her eyes, and got back to her book. She heard him mutter something under his breath and walk away.
The next morning, Ashley was talking to Remus at breakfast. It was a very cold morning, and Ashley was eating and preparing for classes. A few minutes after Ashley and Remus started talking, Sirius entered the Great Hall and plopped himself down on the other side of Remus. Ashley tried hard to not roll her eyes, but she couldn't help it. That cocky grin of Sirius' was enough to make her puke.
"Oi, Moony! Quick, who should be my first snog of the day?" Sirius asked in a distressed tone.
"I really couldn't care less, mate," Remus said, shaking his head.
"Yes, Sirius. You see, some people actually have better things to do than lock themselves in broom cupboards all day long," Ashley said, rolling her big brown eyes at him.
"Jealous, Ashley? There's enough of me to go around, you know," Sirius said, wagging his eyebrows suggestively.
"Ha! Not even if the choice was between you and Snape," Ashley replied disgustedly.
"Now that's the most insulting thing I've ever heard!" Sirius said, looking as if he were in shock.
"Just the truth," Ashley shrugged.
"Ugh, you guys are worse than Lily and James!" Remus complained.
"Yes, but everyone knows that Lily and James are destined to be together. Sirius and I on the other hand, are destined for nothing," Ashley replied, making sure Sirius understood she wasn't interested.
"You'll cave eventually, Hartford. I just know it," Sirius said positively, which did nothing but make her roll her eyes for the thousandth time. "You should really get that eye problem of yours checked, Hartford."
Meanwhile, in another part of the castle, a similar argument was going on. "Potter, I'll remind you that I'm a prefect, and can easily-,"
"Don't threaten me, darling. Do you think I'm scared? Maybe I wouldn't have to act this way if you'd accept my bloody date invitation," James countered.
"Would you guys please stop!" Nicole shouted.
"This has nothing to do with you, Nikki. It's between Potter and I, okay?" Lily said hotly, not really meaning to be so rude to her friend. Nicole looked slightly hurt, and stalked off, out of the corridor that James and Lily were currently arguing in.
"What a temper. Guess it's true what they said about redheads, eh?" James teased.
"You're such a prat," Lily countered angrily.
"I'm just making an observation, Lily. Calm down," James said, putting out his hands in defense.
"Yeah, and so was I. My observation is that you're a pathetic prat," Lily said nastily.
"That's what I love about you, Lily. Such a firey attitude. It's pretty hot," James said, giving her a wink, which earned him a grunt of disgust. "That's another thing I love about you, Lils," James continued, his grin growing with each word, "You're a real challenge."
