Chapter 2: Hell
Where is that git? I've been sitting in the god damn common room for 17 god damn minutes. Well, it seems like more...Anywho, it's 8:53 pm right now. I have this mega urge to go read a book. Stupid urge. Oh! Sombody's coming! I wonder who...
"Hey Lily! What's up." Elizabeth said.
"Oh. It's just you." I said.
"Hey! Am I not good enough for your 'Best Friend' standards?" Elizabeth asked.
"No, you're not. I've been thinking of a nice way to inform you, but I guess you beat me to it! Hm. l'm sorry Ella." I said.
"You know what, screw you." Elizabeth said and then picked up a pillow from the couch and threw it at me.
"Bitch." I muttered.
"What?" Elizabeth asked.
"NOTHING!" I sang.
"No, no. I wanna know what you said, cause I swear to god I heard you swear. You never swear!" Elizabeth said.
"Well that's what happens when I hang around you." I muttered.
"Hey! Hey! I do NOT swear…that much." Elizabeth said, shocked.
"Okay Miss 'I-Don't-Swear', I feel a bet coming on," I pulled out five galleons from my pocket, "Winner is five galleons richer."
"You are so on!" Elizabeth yelled.
"Okay, so the rules are simple. You may not swear. At all. If either of us find out from anybody that either of us swore. You lose. Get it? Good. If I win you give me 5 galleons and if you win I'll give you 5 galleons." I explained.
"Sounds good." Elizabeth agreed
5 minutes rolled by.
"Guess what Lily." Elizabeth said.
"What Ella?" I asked.
"I really feel like swearing right now." Elizabeth said.
"HA! I am so gonna win." I sniggered at the thought of Ella losing her Hogsmeade money.
"Pshaw, right. I am, of course, going to win. No questions asked." Elizabeth said.
"Mhmm, keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better." I walked over to the couch to wait for Potter to get here so I could begin my plan of action.
"What are you doing, ditching me?" Ella scoffed.
"Yeah, what did you think, I was just walking over here to enjoy the view of a million people studying?" I laughed a crazy, mutated laugh.
"What the hell?" Ella said.
"HAH! You swore sucker!" I jumped up.
"No I didn't!" Ella said, shocked.
"Yes you did! You said hell!" I started to laugh my mutated laugh once more.
"It's not a swear word!"
"Yes it is!" I insisted.
"No!"
"Yes!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"NOOOOO!"
"YES IT IS AND THAT"S FINAL!" I yelled, and a million shushes followed, courtesy of the people studying.
Ella ignored them and said, "Oh come ON! I mean, it's not bad! And, like, everybody says it!"
"I honestly don't care if everybody uses it! So you lost! HA!" I said triumphantly.
"No! NO! NOOOO!" Ella yelled. Loudly. Another bunch of shushes followed.
"Hey look Prongs! A cat fight! OOOO, lets watch." A voice said.
"Sirius!" Ella grinned.
"Heyy," Sirius said, "Sooooo...what's...uhhh...going on?"
"Lily's a bi-... mean!" Ella quickly corrected herself, "Yeah, that's it! Uhhh…Lily's being mean."
"Why is she be-" Sirius began but Ella interrupted him, "Is 'Hell' a swear word? And that did NOT count Lily! What do you think? Sirius? James?"
"Uhhhh…..no?" James tried.
"Well, personally, I don't think so…but...why? Sirius asked.
"Well, me and Lily are having a bet to see who swears first. And I said 'Hell' and then we were having an argument." Ella informed the boys.
"Oh, well, I guess then 'Hell' should count…" James said.
"WHOOO! YA! I WIIIIIIIN!" I yelled very loudly and another shush came from, the now, seriously pissed, nerds.
"But!" Sirius continued, "You should start over now because it wasn't very clear before."
"What's not clear?" A voice asked.
"Well Moony, Lily and Ella are having a bet to see who swears first. This, I think, will be quite amusing." James informed Remus.
"Ummm…that's very…cool." Remus said.
"I know!" Ella said enthusiastically.
"Hey, you know what would be reeeeeaaaaally funny?" Sirius asked.
"What?" James asked.
"Pissing of the nerds over there." Sirius said and pointed at the people who are studying.
"Oooooh yaaaa." James said.
"Hmmm. Okay, hold on, I'll be right back." Ella said and ran up the girls' staircase and came back 3 minutes later.
"What are those things?" James asked.
"Erasers. It's a muggle thing." Ella answered. Ella is also a muggleborn, just like me.
"Oh. What are they for?" James asked, confused.
"Well it's rather obvious, isn't it? They're for throwing." Remus informed Sirius and James.
"Ooooooooooh!" James and Sirius chorused.
"Okay, here," Ella handed everybody an eraser, "What you do, is you pick them into smaller pieces and then throw them. All you need is good aim. I knew they would come in handy!"
We all started picking their erasers. I picked mine slowly because I wanted perfect pickings. Then Sirius threw a piece at a third year girl. It bounced of her head and she yelped and turned around. We all looked away so it looked like it wasn't us. The girl, Patty Matkin, I think was her name, never found out it was us, and for good measures, Sirius threw another piece at her. Patty turned around and touched her head and started yelling at the boy behind her, Robert Mills, a second year. Patty received a few shushes and the boy looked quite scared.
"Oh my god! That is tooo funny!" Sirius said, laughing.
"This isn't very nice guys." Remus said.
"Hey Remus. It's Andrew Ashby. Remember? The kid who ruined your potions homework?" James asked. Remus didn't say anything but he did throw an eraser piece at Andrew and hit him in the cheek. Andrew, a sixth year, started yelling at the guy next to him, Tim Fraser, a fifth year. Then we all threw eraser bits at people who got really annoyed at other random people and there was some shouting and yelling and some people even packed up and left.
"Okay, well, I'm tired now. I'm going to bed." I announced after a while of throwing eraser bits.
"Yeah, me too." Ella said.
"Okay, well, see you then." Remus said.
"Bye guys." Sirius said.
"Bye." Me and Ella chorused.
"Bye Lily." James said.
"Bye…James." I forced myself to say his first name. I never have and I never thought I would. I cringed as I said it, but nobody saw, I already turned around, ready to head for the stairs. I quickly walked to them and up, not wanting to see everybody's shocked faces. I could picture them in my head.
A/N: Sooo. What did you think? Please review and tell me! NO FLAMES! I just finished it and it's 10:13 pm, July 10th. Tomorrow is my birthday! WHOOO! LOL. Well, I'll try to get the next chapter up ASAP. Probably in 2 or 3 days.
