If I owned Harry Potter, I would not be writing this !
Chapter 2
"Ok, so who wants to go first?" Lily said snuggling into her pillow.
"I'll ask you! Ok, truth or dare Lil?" I said excitedly.
"Uuuuhhh, Truth pleeeaaasee" Lily sang.
"Ok, out of the Marauders- excluding me of course- who would you like to go out with?" I asked, grinning evilly.
"Hmmm, let's see... No offence to Peter, but defiantly not him, ... I would say Remus, but he is more of a friend to me, and I wouldn't want to destroy that... even though Black is alright looking- only Merlin knows where his hands have been- anything with a skirt, and he's there! And of course not Potter, he is such an arrogant toe rag! So I'm gonna have to go wiiiith...none of them" Lily ended with a laugh.
"Nah man, I don't think so! You have to pick someone!" I said rolling my eyes.
"Well...I guess... James?" Lily said, sounding unsure of herself.
"Oh my GOSH! As if you didn't tell me that you like him! I have alwaysknown you two would be the perfect couple! Ahhhh, I can't wait till you tell Prongs!" I said bouncing on the bed happily.
"No I don't like him, but if I was forced to be with someone out of The Marauders, I would probably chose him!" Lily said indignantly.
"But...but... you called him James!" I said accusingly.
"Slip of the tongue, it happens sometimes. Now, isn't it your turn?" Lily said quickly, blush creeping onto her face. Hmm, I'll make note of that later.
"Fine, truth" I grumbled.
"Ok... tell me the thing you most hate about each of your friends." Lily said slowly.
"...I pick dare" I said hopefully.
"No! You can't swap once you have chosen!" Lily laughed.
I grumbled as I thought of something for each of my friends, while Lily sat patiently waiting.
"Ok... What I don't like about Wormtail is that he is always 'going with the flow' and he doesn't seem to have his own opinion other than his friends opinions. Uhhh, Moony puts himself down too much, and always- no matter what- puts everyone else before himself. Prongs can be slightly annoying, and thinks he knows everything, but he really doesn't. And Pads, I just simply hate the fact that he is a man whore." I said thoughtfully.
Its true- Padfoot really is a man whore. The longest he has dated a girl would be 3 weeks, and the shortest he has dated a girl was one hour. Sirius seems to go through girls like there is no tomorrow, and the thing is, is that the girls don't seem to mind. They don't care about the fact that Sirius is a player, all they want is the satisfaction of saying "Oh my gosh, Sirius just winked at me!" or "Oh my gosh, Sirius just pushed me into a broom closet!" or "Oh my gosh, Sirius just sent Peter to break up with me! It means he is thinking about me!" Sirius is the school heart throb, and he certainly knows it.
"They all seem fair enough reasons...but your forgetting a certain someone?" Lily said sneakily.
"ha-ha, alright then...let's see...Lily... uuuuhhh, well I don't really like the fact that you won't admit to your feelings for Prongs, I mean, it's SO obvious that you're in love with him!" I said fighting to not laugh.
"I am not in love with him! Uuuggghhh! Speaking of which, who do YOU like, Summer?" Lily said, again, changing the subject.
"Weeeeeell, I guess that Hufflepuff guy, Sam Collate, I guess he is alright..." I said trailing off at the end. Sam was a very good looking boy, who is in most of our classes, and he seems pretty nice.
"Ooohh, someone has a cruuussshhhh!" Lily sang loudly.
"Shut up, I don't even know him yet! And it's better than being in love, Lily!" I said hotly.
Boy, did that make her blush. Ha-ha. I have to remember that one for later.
We sat up, late into the night, talking, laughing, and doing outrageous things for dares. It was about 6:30 am when we decided we had better get some sleep, when Lily's mum knocks on the door.
"Good morning my dear's', how are we this morning?" Mrs Evans says brightly.
"Mmmhhmmm, mmhhmmm..." Lily and I responded half asleep.
"Hahaha, well I know you girls like your sleep, so I will leave you to it, your father and I are going to work now, so I will see you girls later... oh, and your Hogwarts letter's came for you this morning as well. I will leave them on the kitchen bench for you, bye!" Mrs Evans said quietly as she backed out the door.
In response Lily and I just rolled over and got back to sleep.
It was around 1:30pm when I woke up, and even then it was only because I was extremely hungry, so I carefully stepped out of bed, trying not to wake Lily in the process, and made my way to the kitchen. I sat there munching on an apple, when I notice the letter's from Hogwarts, one addressed to me, and the other addressed for Lily. I quickly finished my apple and threw it away, and picked up my letter. I opened it up and quickly scanned over the usual boring stuff and requirements, until I notice a badge and a note fall out.
I pick up the note and read it;
Dear Miss Linton,
I am pleased to inform you that you have been made the Gryffindor Quidditch Captain for this year. You decide when to train, you decide who to put on the team, and hold auditions. Good luck to you this year, and I trust that you will make good decisions.
Minerva McGonagall
As soon as I finished reading it, I picked up the badge and saw that it read; 'Gryffindor Quidditch Captain'.
I started jumping up and down and squealing, which made Lily run in, half asleep, and say "Who are you and what do you want with my kitchen?"
Which only made me laugh and go up and hug Lily as hard as ever.
"I was made Quidditch Captain, Lil!" I yelled jumping up and down.
"Wow, congrats! I had a feeling you would be!" Lily said grinning and reaching for her own letter.
Whilst Lily was reading her letter I ran into our room where Selene was sleeping and quickly wrote a letter to send off to James and Sirius.
Dearest Prongsie and Pads,
You won't believe what I got this morning! Actually, maybe you will, cause I'm just that awesome! I got made Quidditch captain for Gryffindor! Yeah that's right! Whoop, Whoop! I'm SO happy! Ha-ha, I can't wait to see you guys! Miss you heeeaaappppsssss!
Love
Snoots xoxo
I woke Selene up, attached the letter to her leg, patted her a couple of times, and she took off in a rush of wings. I then fed Chazz his breakfast, and paid him some attention before I went back to Lily.
I then go back into the kitchen to see Lily, and I find her sitting there with a glum look on her face.
"What's wrong dearest Lily?" I said worriedly.
"I'm Head Girl..." Lily said slowly, as if she doesn't quite believe it.
"Wow Lil, that's fantastic! Why aren't you happy?" I exclaimed.
"...and Potter is Head Boy" Lily said finishing her sentence.
"Oh dear... Dumbledore really has gone off his rocker if he made James head boy, then eh?" I said, trying to lighten the mood.
"Not helping Summer!" Lily said through clenched teeth. I could tell she was about to skitz it. After all, I would too if I was stuck working with the person you hate for a year...even though Lily doesn't hate James...
"Well, if you act civilised, maybe Prongs will too?" I said hopefully.
"James... civilised...in the same sentence? Only if there is a 'not' in between!" Lily said moodily.
"Well, you never know... just forget about James and focus on being Head Girl! Its brilliant!" I said trying to cheer her up.
"Yeah...yeah your right! I have to start planning prefect meetings and what not!" Lily said sitting up straighter and grabbing a piece of parchment and writing some stuff down.
The rest of the week went by smoothly, catching up on lots of sleep, talking, laughing, going for jogs, and lazing about on the couch eating all the good stuff like Chips, and cookie dough.
During the week I got a letter back from James and Sirius;
Dear Snoots,
Wow, good job! I knew you would make it! Pads is sitting next to me being all jealous and stuff because his 2 best friends got badges and he didn't! Ha-ha, as you probably know, I got made Head Boy, along with Lily-flower. I bet she is jumping with happiness that we get to spend all this time together! I miss you heaps too, Snoots,-although I can't say the same for Sirius! Hahaha- I'll see you on the train! Say hi to Lily-pad for me!
Yours truly
Prongs, and Padfoot!
P.S – I am not jealous! Prongs just wants me to be, it makes him feel all high and mighty! And yes of course I miss you! I gotta go, before James see's what I'm writing... PRONGS IS WHIPPED!
I didn't bother writing back to them, seeing as I will be seeing them in a few days. As the rest of the week went by fairly quickly with neither me or Lily doing anything, besides having one day dedicated to Diagon Alley where we got all our school supplies, the 1st of September came as a shock to us as we woke up at 10:00am, with neither of our trunks packed, and the promise of the Hogwarts Express leaving in an hour's time, hung over our heads.
Me and Lily just chucked on the first clothes we saw, mine consisting of what I wore the first day to Lily's, and hastily chucked anything and everything in our trunks. We somehow managed to make it with 15 mins to spare, just outside the barrier of 9 ¾.
We said our goodbyes to Mr and Mrs Evans, Lily promising to write as often as she could, and I said a thank you for having me stay for a week, and we pushed through the barrier, loaded with all our belongings. Lily and I promised to get a compartment on the train together, as we parted ways. Lily went off to greet her other friends from different houses, while I went off to find the other Marauders.
*A/N- This chapter is a bit shorter than the first one, but hopefully just as good! Read and Review! xoxo*
