Title: High School Drama!
Summary: Hogwarts is not the magical school, it is a preppy private school that Lily is accepted into as a scholarship student. She's not rich though she's looked down upon which doesn't bother her, because all she wants to do is make it through the four years of High School and dance the rest of her life away!
-Chapter Two-
When Lily woke up she couldn't quite figure out where she was that was until she heard a small snore and smiled. As the memories of where she was came back to her she figured that if worst came to worst she could always blackmail her roommates about one of them snoring. She really hoped it was Kali that would make it oh so lovely and it would give her leverage over her to get her off her back. When she finally flipped over and looked over she smiled a gleeful and triumphant smile because Kali was the one that was snoring. She got up and looked at the uniform frowning slightly. She felt the cloth and grimaced because it was the kind of cloth that would be extremely itchy. So she grabbed some purple work out pants and the uniform and went to the showers.
Lily got in the first one and set the things on a bench inside; it was that spacious of a shower cubicle, since there were four of them. She turned on the water fixing it to the right temperature and listening to see if she had woken up any of the others but she could faintly still hear the snores. She toned them out after that and took a long shower, washing her hair. She had been in there for about twenty minutes when there was a bang on the cubicle and she walked to it and stuck out her head to see Kali standing there looking expectant.
"Can I help you?" Lily asked after a moment's silence.
"You can't use this shower, it's the good one and I always use it."
"Oh well there are three others, I don't think it will kill you to use one of them for one day!" Kali opened her mouth as if to say something but Lily plowed ahead. "I'll tell you what. I'll start using the one on the end after this, and you'll leave me alone from now on."
"Why would I do that?"
"Because then I won't let it slip that you snore at night!" Kali's eyes opened wide and she drew in a surprised intake of breath. "Oh don't worry at the moment my lips are sealed, unless you push me the wrong way. And if you do, don't worry I'm sure James, Sirius or Remus think it's cute for a girl to snore! Well tootles, I need to finish my shower!"
Lily closed the door and finished it in the next ten minutes, grabbed her towel and dried off. She changed into her uniform with the exercise pants underneath it then walked out. Kali apparently decided to wait for the shower, but she completely ignored Lily, which was just fine with her. She walked to a mirror and began to dry her hair; it was sometimes hard to do that since it went to her mid back. By the time she had gotten it dry Kali was just finishing up. Lily though undid the blow dryer and stowed it at the bottom of her wardrobe. She walked out then after grabbing her back pack which was filled with a notebook, a book, and some utensils. She sat down outside and waited for Elsa.
It didn't take long for her to show up, she walked up smiling. "Good morning Lily, how'd you sleep?"
"Pretty good, how bout you?"
"Good, thanks. So the headmaster gave me your schedule, here you go." She handed Lily a slip of paper and Lily opened it looking at it with interest. She was in a few honors classes and grimaced. She was smart enough it was true but at her public school she didn't get into it on account of behavior. See, she tended to get into fights at her old school so they didn't think she would be good in the honor classes.
They walked into the dinning room and sat down at the same table that they had last night. The next few minutes the last people began to wander in ready for food and the day to begin. Dumbledore and a many of the other teacher apparently didn't take breakfast with the students, there was only three, and they were only there to be monitors. At exactly eight fifteen the cooks entered bringing with them breakfast. Lily didn't eat too much, but more then last night, then stuck two sticks of gum in her mouth. She was listening to the other girls talk about an assignment or something when something went splat right in front of her scattering bits of food everywhere, especially on her. Lily sat there for a moment then calmly wiped the stuff off of her face and looked around to see the three boys laughing.
"I'm sorry Lily, I should have told you, they usually pull a prank on the new kid!" Elsa said wiping some of it off her also.
"No problem." And before anyone asked what she was doing she stood up and walked over to the boys smiling politely. "So which one of you did it." Two of them, she couldn't remember which one was which shrugged their shoulders looking innocent. "Okay well what was it made out of?" They looked at her as if she was crazy. "Not going to tell huh? Can I ask you a question then?"
"I guess." One of them said still looking confused but also sounding confused.
"How much time do you spend on your hair?"
All of them looked startled. "What kind of a question is that!" One with shaggy black hair asked.
"What you can't answer that either."
The one with chocolate brown eyes rolled them. "I don't know five to ten minutes."
"Such a shame."
They looked at her confused for a moment and then froze in shock at what Lily did next. See Lily with a sleight of hand trick had spit out her gum earlier and split it into two clumps, one in each hand. Now she reached up and spread the two clumps of gum all over the top of their hair. She couldn't do it to the other one, but she thought he would get the picture all the same. She pulled back and shrugged her shoulder.
"Oops, my hands slipped." She turned around and began to walk away; the room was now deadly quiet. One of them finally got over their shock and she was sure his name was Sirius.
"Who do you think you are?"
"Me no one!" She looked at them and smiled a mocking smile. "What you can dish it out, but you can't take it?"
They didn't reply to that one, so she walked over to the table only to find that they were looking at her as if she had the plague. One of them spoke up before she could sit down. "You can't sit here after doing something like that."
"Okay, well where are the other scholarship students?"
One of the other girls pointed out a table and Lily smiled her thanks. She stopped behind Elsa's chair. "I'm sorry, and thanks. I don't want to get you in trouble so you don't have to continue showing me around!"
She then walked towards the table they were laughing at what happened and smiled at her as she came up. She smiled back and stood next to an empty seat. "Mind if I sit here?"
"Not at all!"
"Thanks." She sat down and looked into their amused smiling faces. "I'm Lily."
"I'm Nadia." She was pretty with nutmeg brown hair and smoky grey eyes. "This is Natalie; we call her Nat for short!" The girl she motioned too had dark hair and blue eyes, she smiled a shy smile, she seemed the quiet type. "This is Kelly, we call her Kel." She was a brunette too though it was darker and her eyes were a brown shade too. "And this is Kristina, but we call her Kris!" She was a dirty blonde with hazel eyes that sparkled.
"Nice to meet you all."
"Uh-Oh, here comes the dragon!" Kel said motioning her head slightly. She followed and watched as a serious looking professor finished talking to the boys and was heading in Lily's direction.
"The dragon?"
"She's the meanest, strictest of all the teachers."
She would have asked more but the dragon had arrived and looked at Lily disapproval and anger radiating from her glance. "Ms. Evans you will follow me to the Headmasters office!" It wasn't a question, it was a demand!
"Yes ma'am." She looked at the others as she got up and collected her back pack. "See you guys later."
"Later." They all said at the same time and Lily followed the dragon. As she was walking she could see Kali ahead and to the side smirking and looking smug. As she passed she made what sounded like a snoring sound, and the expression on her face changed to one of glowering hatred. Lily didn't say anything and they eventually arrived at the Headmasters office. She followed the dragon in only to find that the three boys were there already and the two as they caught sight of Lily through a glare that could kill. Her only response was to smile a sickly sweet smile.
"Ah so good of you to join us Ms. Evans, now we can get down to business. All four of you will be getting detention."
"That's all she gets is a detention!" the one with the chocolate brown eyes said, Lily was sure he was James.
"Yes, because although you may not want to hear this, you got what you deserved Mr. Potter. One of these days you will find people who will not put up with your constant pranks, and you did call for a reaction."
This surprised Lily, and she thought that it surprised the boys too because they looked it. "Now Ms. Evans, since this is your first detention, what would you care to do?"
"You mean I get a choice?"
"Yes."
"Well what are the options?"
"There is always helping a teacher and then there's cleaning the old section, I'm afraid it gets run down with out the upkeep."
"Well, since I have the strangest feeling that I'll be getting detention a lot I'll take cleaning the old section. I suppose I could always work on that when I get another detention." She heard one of the boys snort in laughter and looked to find it the sandy blonde hair boy, the only name she had left was Remus.
"Very well, that includes, mopping in some sections, sweeping, cleaning mirrors and windows, and dusting."
"I know."
"Well then starting tomorrow you will have a weeks worth of cleaning that section." Lily nodded her head and watched as she turned to the boys and a spark of what she considered mischief lit itself in his eyes and the three boys noticed this too because they drew back a little.
"You three on the other hand will have kitchen duty, with the head cook watching over your shoulder the whole time!" All three of them paled and Lily wondered what the big deal was? "That is all you four are dismissed."
The three boys walked out, but Lily stayed there shuffling from foot to foot. Dumbledore raised his eyebrows in question.
"I don't know how to get to my next class."
"Ah, of course, how forgetful of me. What is your next class?"
Lily looked down at her schedule and read off the top of the list. "Science, with Professor McGonagall!"
She heard a sigh behind her and the dragon walked forward. "That is my class, you can wait outside and I will be with you shortly."
Lily smiled something she did when she was nervous, or angry. "Yes Ma'am! Thank you Headmaster Dumbledore."
"Anytime Ms. Evans!"
Lily walked out and sat on the ground, close enough to "accidentally" hear what they were saying since she was pretty sure it would be about her. And sure enough as soon as the dragon, excuse me, professor McGonagall thought she was gone she turned to the headmaster surprise in her voice.
"Albus, I thought you said she was known for good behavior! That is hardly what I would consider proper behavior for a scholarship student." Lily almost snorted out loud by the lie that the headmaster had told everyone but managed not to.
"Well she might have had a few problems, but we need her here. The other scholarship students are some what less inclined to step out, and they take whatever is given to them. Lily will be a good influence to them, I think she will do perfect here to inspire some change."
Lily suddenly realized why she was the one picked, and she couldn't help but smile. This reason did make much more sense since most people would take a look at her record of misbehavior and wouldn't have thought twice about dumping it in the waste pile. She also found an instant liking to the headmaster, and knew that she was going to like him. Finally a few minutes later, after Lily had toned them out Professor McGonagall walked out and looked at Lily.
"Follow me Ms. Evans."
Lily got up without a word and followed as directed. When she entered the classroom she immediately saw Nadia and Nat and walked over sitting down with a smile. When they saw who was sitting next to them they smiled back.
"How'd it go?" Nadia asked.
"I'm cleaning out the old section for the next week, well starting tomorrow."
"Ouch, that's kind of harsh."
"I actually picked it. I figured if James, Sirius and Remus keep this up I'll have detention a lot." Nadia laughed at this. "So which ones which?"
"Well the one that got up and asked who you thought you were that Sirius Black, the one with the messy hair, and chocolate eyes is James Potter, and the sandy haired one, that's Remus Lupin! He's not as bad as the others."
"That's good."
"What is?"
"That I know their last names that way I don't have to call them by their first; it'll make me feel so much better." Nat even snickered at that one.
"So there are no guy scholarship students."
"No there used to be five of us, but one finally convinced her parents to put her back in public school."
"So you guys are all in one room!"
"No not exactly. We are given two rooms, two in each room. There used to be three in one, and one in the other but they moved Kris to the other."
"To make it even."
Nadia looked uncomfortable. "Not exactly, see, Kris and me, we're girlfriends."
It took a moment for Lily to get the actual meaning behind the words. "Oh, well that's cool."
"Really, you actually think that?"
"Yeah, I mean as long as you don't hit on me more power to you!"
"That's cool, not many people think like that."
"What do the others think about it?"
"It makes them happy, and not much does that, it would be wrong to take away that joy." Nat said quietly. They would have continued the conversation but Professor McGonagall started class, and Lily began to take notes. The rest of the day went okay she supposed. She always had a class with two of the scholarship girls. Nadia said that that's how Dumbledore set it up that way we wouldn't be alone. Sadly she also had a class with James, Remus and Sirius. Sometimes just one of them, but in the last class of the day all three of them were in it, it was like the arctic it was so cold in the room. The gum was out of their hair, but it seemed a little thinner, much to Lily's amuesment.
Lily sat with the scholarship girls at supper, and then when she got back to her room she started on the class work that was left over. They didn't give out homework, only the stuff you didn't finish in class. Lily didn't have too much, and she was glad to know that she wasn't too far behind the others. As she slid under the covers she turned on her head phones, she would have to find a way to stay in shape, and maybe in the old part of the school she could find an empty room to do her dancing in. You never know, it could happen. As she drifted off to sleep one last thought passed through her mind.
'Just maybe, life wasn't going to be so bad here, in fact it might have been perfect if not for Potter, Black and Lupin!"
