Chapter 2: People coming and going and coming
Revenge or Something Like
It
Lily rolled over. She felt a light breeze on her face as
she opened her eyes. She sat up and yawned and her some laughing next
to her. She turned to see James and Remus laughing.
"Huh?
What did I miss? Why are you two laughing and where is Sirius?"
Lily asked.
The two of them didn't stop laughing only one word
escaped James mouth in between laughs. It was pool. She looked at
them both slightly confused but she got up and started walking
towards the pool. There in the center of it onto of a bright pink
raft (AN you know the kind you can lay out on and you won't get wet
unless you roll off or someone pushes you off, hinthint. Also I
looked back at the first chapter where I mentioned the pool but I
never said what kind, sorry about that, I'm making it an inground
pool.) was Sirius still sound asleep. Lily doubled over laughing as
Remus and James appeared behind her.
"It gets better,
trust me." James whispered to her. She stopped laughing and
stood up again. Remus went to the edge of the pool.
"Bloody!
Quick Sirius the house is on fire!" Remus yelled in the loudest
most panicking voice he could. Sirius shot upright throwing off the
balance of the raft and it flipped over making Sirius fall in the
water with a splash . Lily, Remus, and James when cracking up and
rolling on the ground laughing. Sirius swam to the surface and spit
out a mouth full of water.
"Ok now that was definitely
not funny." He said as he climbed out of the pool soaking wet.
The others were laughing to hard to laugh. He glared at them.
"Don't
worry I'll get you guys back for that one." He said now
smirking.
" Let's go get some breakfast ok?" Lily
said. Everyone agreed and went with her into the house. Lily grabbed
a few different types of cereal 4 bowls and spoons and some milk.
They all sat down at the kitchen table and were eating when the
doorbell rang. Lily ran up to get it. She opened the door. There
stood Petunia.
" Oh, Petunia, what are you doing back?"
Lily asked.
Petunia rolled her eyes "Whatever I'm just
here to pick up some more clothing quickly." Petunia said
brushing by Lily. Petunia, while going up the stairs noticed the boys
in the kitchen.
"Who are they? Do mom and dad know?"
she yelled at Lily.
"They are friends from school and yes
mom and dad invited them." Lily said obviously getting upset.
"Oh great mom and dad let even more freaks in the house"
she said as she went upstairs and came back down with a bag of
clothing.
"I'm glad I came back home I left my bedroom
door unlocked and who knows who would go in there with all these
freaks running around the house." She said and left the house
slamming the door.
"Nice girl" Sirius said.
"Yea
to bad she couldn't have stayed longer." James also said.
"Yes,
I really would like to meet her again sometime" Remus
stated.
Lily laughed "Sorry she was so rude to everyone,
she's like that a lot because she's a muggle. She calls everyone from
Hogwarts freaks she's just jealous or something." Lily
explained. Lily sat down again and as she did a medium sized gray owl
she recognized as Suffie's owl Twink came flying in the open kitchen
window. The owl smacked into Remus and dropped the letter it had in
Lily's cereal and started eating the Cornflakes from James's bowl.
Lily wiped the parchment off, opened it, and started to read
it.
Dear Lil,
I hope you get this soon Twink has been very
out of it lately. I wanted to know if I could stay at your house for
a few days until my Aunt returns and then I can go stay with her. I
just need to get out of this crazy house and my Aunt doesn't come
back from vacation for 3 days or so. Please let me come.
Your
Friend,
Suffie
"Who's it from?" James said with
his mouth full of cereal. Lily looked at him oddly.
"Do
you mind not talking with your full? Its from Suffie she's going to
come over and stay for a little." Lily ran into her bedroom
grabbing a piece of parchment, quill, and ink and then went back in
the kitchen sitting down to write her letter telling Suffie she could
come. Suffie had light brown hair with blonde highlights in it. The
tips curled out into many tiny little layers at the bottom and was a
little bit shorter than shoulder length. She had green eyes and was
about 5 foot 1 inches tall. She was pretty but only had a few
friends, Lily being her best friend of course. Suffie had two older
brothers and a Father, her Mother had died in an accident and she had
a rough time living with three guys and no females around so she
stayed at her Aunts a lot during the summer. Lily finally finished
writing a letter telling her to come over and tied it to the owls
leg. The owl ate another Cornflake and flew out the open kitchen
window. Lily looked over and saw that Sirius was still dripping wet.
"Since Blacks still soaking wet do you all want to go
swimming?" Lily asked. They all decided to go swimming and went
to get changed. The boys finished first didn't even wait up for her
they were already splashing about the pool. Lily was up stairs in her
bedroom, she put on her bathing suit. She was kind of embarrassed
because it was a two piece. 'I don't care what I look in front of
people in school so why should I care know' she thought. It wasn't
very revealing or anything , the top stopped right above her belly
button and the bottoms were the type that are almost like shorts.
Both pieces were light blue and purpled striped and they were sort of
sparkly, but the suit looked very good with her orange hair. She
grabbed a few towels for when they got out and went outside. She set
them down on one of the chairs that surrounded the pool. She looked
up and saw James looking at her, Sirius and Remus paid no attention
but instead were splashing and dunking each other under the water.
'woah...I think I'm imagining this. That can't be Lily she looks so
different than at school, she looks nice! Arg, I have to stop
thinking like this, I can't like her like that. I can be friends with
her though I guess, that would be okay.' James thought still staring
at her. Lily on the other hand was getting disgusted. She glared at
him and then jumped in the pool splashing everyone.
"Oh
so its going to be like that huh Lily" Sirius said and then
splashed her back. She laughed and closed her eyes when the water hit
her. Without opening them she splashed back. She heard a girl scream
'what the...' she thought knowing there where no other girls except
her in the pool.
" You could atleast wait until I have
my bathing suit on Lil" a girl laughed. It was Suffie.
"Oh
Suffie! I'm so sorry I didn't mean to!" Lily apologized while
lifting herself out of the pool. "How did you get her so fast
you don't live nearby at all!"
"I flew here, and I
didn't exactly wait for you to owl back I knew it would be ok and I
just had to get away from them. They are horrible, guys are such
jerks I swear." Suffie said. Someone in the pool coughed. Suffie
looked at there direction. "Oi, I'm sorry, talking about boys
Lily what are you doing with all these?" She said laughing.
"Both our parents are on vacation so I'm being forced to
spend two whole weeks with them." Lily replied rolling her eyes.
"So your parents left you here with three guys, geeze
Lils you should have owled me sooner." Suffie joked.
"Yea
right their horrors, if I were you I would leave as soon as I could
and bring my best friend with me, hint hint!" Lily said.
"You
do realize were still here correct?" Remus said
"Besides
Lily you can't deny the fact that you love us here with you"
Sirius joked.
"Oh merlin, your parents left you with
Potter, Lupin, and Black!" She said just recognizing who they
were "do they realize what they did?"
"I don't
think they cared to much." Lily said laughing
"Well
now you have another girl to stay with you, trust me my brothers and
father are worse than those three." She said pointing at the
trio. "Please tell me Petunia isn't home."
"Nope,
she's staying at a friends house luckily."
"Good,
that girl is indeed a jerk." Suffie said "May I put my
stuff up in your room?" She said picking up her broom and a
backpack.
"Yes, here I'll help you." Lily said
taking Suffie's backpack as they walked into the house leaving the
boys alone together in the pool.
That night everyone decided
to sleep in the living room together. They had put their sleeping
bags in a circle and were talking. They order was Lily, Suffie,
Remus, Sirius, and then James and since they were in a circle that
put James next to Lily. Suffie and Lily were talking about what they
had done over vacation so far and James, Sirius, and Remus were
discussing how they needed to think up more pranks they were going to
pull of the Slytherins because they didn't nearly have enough thought
up.
"We haven't even thought up a good enough one to do
to them on the first day we get back!" Sirius exclaimed.
"Don't worry we'll think of something we always do."
James said.
"Okay, this is getting boring" Lily
said.
"You guys thinking what I am" Remus said to
James and Sirius.
"What? A little game of truth or dare
marauder style?" James asked
"Dare I ask what the
difference between normal truth or dare and truth or dare marauder
style is?" Suffie asked while rolling her eyes at them. James
jumped up and went into the kitchen everyone followed. He went
through the cupboards until he found a huge bowl and he set it on the
counter, then he opened the fridge.
"Okay, now what
genius?" Lily asked.
"Put anything in the bowl and
make it the grossest mixture you possible can, you can start Lily"
James said smirking. Lily step up to the fringe.
"Um ok,
sure" She took out a can, opened it and dumped it in the bowl.
"Tuna, does that work?"
"Sure does" James
said still smirking. The others looked at each other as if saying
who's next.
"Lady's first" Remus said gesturing to
Suffie.
"Then shouldn't Black go?" Suffie said
jokingly.
"Ha ha ha, my sides, don't make me laugh so
hard Suf" Sirius said sarcastically. Suffie laughed and stepped
forward.
"How about....chocolate syrup!" She said
and squeezed some into the bowl on top the tuna. Remus went
next.
"Coca cola!" he said grinning and put a little
in the bowl. Sirius went next. He put in ketchup and then James who
put in vanilla ice-cream. They continued going around putting stuff
in until the bowl was almost full. It was now full of a mixture that
you would never even think about eating. James stirred it up with a
long spoon.
"Oh my, that is horribly gross" Suffie
said with her hand over her mouth. Everyone agreed.
"What
is the point of this Potter?" Lily asked
"We are
going to play truth or dare. Anyone who doesn't take the truth or
dare has to eat a spoonful of this!" He said smirking as he held
the spoon up high and let some of the mixture drip into the bowl. The
boys were smiling and the girls looked grossed out. They all went
back in the living room and sat on there sleeping bags the put the
nasty mixture it the middle of the circle that sat in.
"Okay,
there are only three rules. One, you can give them a choice like for
a dare you can be like 'you can either do this or you can do this'
and the person gets to choose. Two, nothing to perverted people lets
keep this PG-13, and three you don't do the dare or truth and you
must eat the mixture. Any one not willing to eat that stuff but knows
they might not take the dare or truth than just sit out and don't
play." James said looking around "Ok who wants to start?"
The game had begun with Sirius. They had been playing for at least
and hour and no one had not taken a dare or truth because they didn't
want to eat the mixture. It was now James turn.
"Remus,
truth or dare?" James asked him. Remus thought for a moment.
"Dare." He said confidently.
"I dare
you to...either kiss Suffie or Sirius!" James said as everyone
broke out into laughter. Sirius batted his eyelashes at Remus.
"Oh
Remy pick me!" he said in a girly voice.
"Um that
scares me, stop that!" Remus said to Sirius. He turned and
quickly kissed Suffie on the lips. Suffie sat there for a moment and
then started blushing.(AN if you have read my other story, which you
should, called Adjusting, you'd know Suffie is also in it and I'm
going to make Remus and Suffie have a crush on each other, It has
nothing to do with this story at all I just like the character I made
up with Remus lol) Remus blushed to and the quickly asked Lily truth
or dare.
"Truth" Lily said.
"How come
you act and dress so differently at school than you are now." He
asked.
"I..I..I don't know, I just do. I have only one
friend and why should I bother looking nice at school, I don't want
to be like one of those stuck up snobs." She said.
"Brushing
you hair and wearing nice clothing doesn't exactly make you a snob,
and you have only one friend because you don't seem to bother to make
any friends." Remus said. Lily ignored him. "Potter truth
or dare" she said.
"Dare" he said. Lily looked
around her eyes landing on the mixture.
"Eat a spoonful"
She said.
"Wh..what? what are you talking about?" He
said.
"Eat a spoonful of the mixture we just made."
She said.
"Aw come on that's got to be against the rules
or something that cant count." He argued.
"No, its
not against the rules remember there are only the three YOU made up."
She stated. He gulped, even if he didn't take the dare he'd still
have to eat that slop.
"Fine! Damn this is horrible."
He mumbled. He went up to the bowl and lifted a small spoonful out.
Everyone was looking at him. He pinched his nose and shoved the spoon
in his mouth, swallowed, threw the spoon back into the bowl, and then
got up and ran to the bathroom. Slight barfing noises were then
heard. Everyone made a grossed out face. After a while he came back
out. He looked slightly pale.
"Never ever again will I
eat that stuff, Sirius truth or dare." He said his voice
sounding kind of shaky.
"Dare"
"I dare
you to stick your hand in that slop and keep it in there for a
minute." He said. Sirius got up and did it. Then went in the
kitchen and washed his hand off. He then came back and sat
down.
"The only thing scary about that dare was that I
thought something in there was going to bite my hand off."
Sirius said laughing. "Lily truth or dare."
"Dare"
she said slightly unsure.
"Its getting kind of late so
lets make this the last dare. Now to avenge my friend, this will be a
horrible dare for you because he had to eat that nasty stuff."
He said with an evil cackle. Everyone started staring at him "Um
yea just kidding, at least sort of....Lily I dare you to sleep the
rest of the night in James sleeping bag with him!"
"What!"
everyone yelled out at once.
"nothing perverted you just
have to share a sleeping bag" Sirius explained.
"Bud,
that is not avenging me!" James yelled.
"Yeah well
I had to put my hand in that stuff so there" Sirius said and
then laughed quickly "So Lil what will it be." Lily
remember what was in that bowl.
"I'm not eating that,
Potter move over" She said. James glared at her. She got in the
same sleeping bag as him. "This is so embarrassing..."
"You better not tell anyone at school about this"
He said.
"Like I'd want to." She said and then fell
asleep like everyone else had.
In the mourning
The
sun was shining through the curtains as Lily yawned and turned around
in her sleep. She bumped into something, not realizing it, she also
didn't realize the pair of arms that were now wrapped around her
waist. She moved closer to an unrecognized source of warmth. James
also stirred in his sleep not remembering what happened last night or
opening his eyes. He felt something in his arms and not realizing it
tightened his grip a bit. Then all of a sudden both realized what was
going on. There eyes quickly opened. Lily saw James and felt his arms
around her and she let out a scream. When she did James also
screamed.
"Potter let go of me!" Lily yelled. James
realized his arms were around her waist and let go. As he did Lily
bolted out of the sleeping bag. Remus, Sirius, and Suffie were
already awake and dressed and were now rolling on the floor laughing.
"Suffie how come you didn't wake me up!?" Lily
asked.
"I'm sorry Lils you two just looked so cute and we
need to take the photos!" She explained.
"Photos!?"
Lily and James both yelled.
"Umm I vote we all go eat
breakfast now" Remus said. Suffie pulled Lily into the kitchen
with her.
'I was just holding her! It felt great to have my
arms wrapped around her, I wish she could be mine. What the hell am I
thinking! I think I've gone off the deep end...' James thought. He
shook his head and then went into the kitchen with Sirius and Remus.
Lily
got some bowls and cereal for everyone at the table. She took a seat
next to Suffie who was across from Remus and Sirius. James had taken
a seat at the front of the small table. Suffie smiled.
"Your
going to get me some copies of those pictures right?" She asked.
Lily and James both dropped there spoons into their bowls.
"You
guys better be joking and if not, I have two words for you...burn
them." Lily said.
" Yea, Sirius, Remus, you better
get rid of those pictures" James threatened.
"Don't
worry were just kidding" Sirius said winking quickly only Remus
and Suffie noticing it. The rest of the breakfast was quiet. Lily was
almost done with her cereal. She looked up and saw Remus looking her
way 'No he's looking at Suffie!' she thought 'Hmm I think Remus has a
crush and they were both blushing pretty bad last night when he
kissed her' she giggled to herself at the thought.
"You
know we should go into town today and get groceries, my parents
didn't leave us we much food to begin with and after making that crap
last night, well they left me money for groceries so I guess we can
walk and get some." Lily said.
After breakfast, they
played in the pool a little then went inside and made some sandwiches
for lunch, after everyone took turns taking showers and got dressed.
Lily put on an emerald green halter top and tan shorts. Suffie put
Lily's hair into two braids. She was wearing a sparkly yellow tube
top and jean shorts. She had two yellow star shaped clips on either
side of her head. They both walked downstairs to find the boys all
their waiting.
"Girls take way to long to get ready"
they all mumbled. Lily and Suffie rolled there eyes.
"Well
we wanted to look good" Suffie said.
"We didn't
take as long, are you saying we don't look good?" James asked.
He was wearing white muscle tee with a red shirt over it that he left
unbuttoned and black shorts. Sirius was wearing a green tee shirt and
tan shorts, and Remus had on a white muscle tee and black shorts with
a blue summer jacket around his waist.
"yes...yes I am"
Lily said and walked outside. Suffie followed laughing and the boys
also walked outside.
"It's not far from here, but no
talk about wizarding stuff this is a muggle town, and absolutely no
pranks got that" Lily said glaring at the boys.
"Lily
dear, where would you ever get the idea that we would prank on
innocent people in that town?" Sirius said.
"Your
treating us like we're...we're" James started.
"Bad
boys?" Remus said.
"Exactly" James said. Lily
and Suffie once again rolled their eyes and started walking down the
road. After about 10 minutes they finally got there.
"Ok
how about James and Sirius come with me to go get groceries and
Suffie you've been here a bunch of times how about you show Remus
around, we can all meet back here in about an hour." Lily said.
A girl with curly brown hair walked by. Sirius looked at his friends
and then back at the girl who had just walked by.
He started
slowly walking away "Um you guys don't worry about me I'll meet
you back here in an hour" he said and ran off to find the girl
who had walked by.
"Well that's Sirius for ya."
James mumbled.
"Come on James, meet you and Remus back
here in an hour Suf" Lily said and dragged James into the
grocery store.
"Well you seem anxious to leave everyone
else except me" James said raising an eyebrow.
"Don't
flatter yourself Potter, I think Remus and Suffie like each other,
and I thought they should spend some time alone." Lily
explained.
"Oh, okay, he hasn't said anything to us about
liking her though." James said.
"It so obvious
though" Lily said.
"Well then would you like to make
a bet?" He said smirking.
"Okay, 7 galleons says
that by the end of the year at Hogwarts they will have gone out."
(AN- I looked through the chapters I already wrote and I don't think
I put it anywhere what year they are all going in so I'm just going
to make it that they are going into their 5th year at Hogwarts.)
"You
got a deal" James said and shook her hand to make it
final.
Lily took a grocery basket and started walking down the
first isle, James followed behind her.
elsewhere
"Um
I don't exactly know what to show you, there aren't may stores. It's
a very small town. There's a diner, grocery store, ice cream parlor,
book store, and a few other small shops." Suffie said.
"Well
we can just go to the ice cream parlor, maybe get an ice cream and
just sit and talk or something." Remus suggested. Suffie began
to smile.
"Sure! That sounds great." She replied.
She led the way down the street until they got to a small store that
had a patio on the front with some tables and chairs on it. They
walked in and a small bell rang as they did.
"Suffie, I
don't really have any of this kind if money" Remus said, all he
had on him was wizard money.
"Its ok, Lily gave me some
before she went off with James." Suffie explained. They started
looking through the flavors. A man came over and asked if he could
help them.
"I think I'll just have a scoop of chocolate."
Remus said.
"And you miss" The man asked Suffie.
" Rainbow Sherbet, please" Suffie asked. The man
handed them the ice cream and Suffie paid him the money, and then
followed Remus who walked out of the store, the bell ringing again as
he they left, and sat down at one of the tables outside.
"So,
why did you come to stay at Lily's too?" Remus asked " Not
that I'm complaining." (AN- if you remember only Lily knows why
she came)
"Oh, my mother died when I was little and I was
left with my Father and two older annoying brothers. I usually go to
my Aunts when they make me start to go crazy but she's on vacation. I
love them don't get me wrong its just rough having no girls in the
house."
"Are you a muggle born like Lily or a
pure-blood?" He asked
"Oh, I'm a pure blood. One of
my brothers is in 7th year and the other already graduated"
"He must be in a different house because you're the only
Moon I know in Gryffindor" He said (AN-I'm pretty sure I already
said it but Moon is Suffie's last name for anyone who forgot, kind of
ironic that Remus is getting a crush on a girl with the last name
Moon considering he's a werewolf and afraid of the moon o.O, yea
moving on....)
"Yea, he's in Ravenclaw, I don't even know
why I'm in Gryffindor I'm hardly brave at all." She mumbled. The
sky was now slightly darker and it had grown colder especially with
the wind that was now blowing. Suffie shivered, and Remus stood up he
took his jacket that was around his waist and gave it to her.
"We
better go find the others and go I think there's going to be a storm"
Remus said.
"Yea your right, and uh thanks." Suffie
said and stood up also while putting the jacket on. They started
walking down the street. They knew where Lily and James were but they
had to find Sirius. They walked by all the shops looking in their
windows trying to find him. They finally spotted him with a girl in
the diner. They both walked in.
"Sirius we have to leave
a little early its going to start to rain soon." Remus said.
"Aww do we have to?" He asked.
"Yes,
now" Suffie said as Remus and her dragged him out of the diner,
the girl just sat the a little confused, she shrugged, and continued
eating.
"Fine it's not like I was ever going to see her
again, where are James and Lily?" Sirius asked.
"Still
grocery shopping. I hope there done, I don't want to walk home in the
rain" Suffie said as she led them towards the grocery store.
"Lily are we almost done yet?"
James complained.
"Yes, I don't know what your
complaining about we haven't even been here long." She said.
James shrugged.
"I guess we haven't bought enough junk
food." He said and smirked. Lily grabbed a single bag of chips.
"There, now lets go pay" She said and walked to the
cash register, both Lily and James had a basket full of food, they
didn't want to bother and grab a shopping carriage. The unloaded the
food. James went and put it in paper bags. The lady working the cash
register gave them their total and Lily paid her. There were three
paper bags.
"Here take that one I'll grab the other two."
James said.
"You sure?" She said, he looked at her
and nodded. They walked out of the store and saw Suffie, Remus, and
Sirius coming towards them.
"Oh hey guys, I thought we
weren't meeting for like another 15 minutes?" Lily said.
"It
looks like there's going to be a storm" Remus said.
"We
should start to go to your house before it rains" Suffie added.
Lily looked up.
"Yea your right, it's getting cold out
too." Lily said as they started walking. James took one of the
bags he was holding and shoved it at Sirius to hold. Sirius took it
and sighed. James looked at him funny.
"What's up with
him?" James asked.
"He had to leave a girl he met"
Suffie said she rolled her eyes. "Poor little lover boy, it'll
be ok" She said in a baby voice while pinching his cheek.
"He'll live he'll find another girl and be over it."
James said. He looked at Lily a drop of water fell on her
cheek.
"Oh, darn I think it's starting to rain."
Lily sighed. It started to lightly rain.
"Great now were
all going to be soaking wet" Suffie complained.
"Chill
out you two it's just a light rain" Remus said. Sirius and James
agreed with him, as if they asked for it, the rain starting getting
heavier and it was now pouring out. They all broke out into run and
finally got to the house. Lily shut and locked the door behind them.
They were all soaking wet.
"Lets go put the groceries
away." Lily said and went in the kitchen. A while past and it
had started thundering and lightning out. They had put on their
pajamas and where in the living room playing wizards chess. James had
just beat Sirius and was playing against Lily.
"I play
winner." Remus said. All of a sudden there was a huge clap of
thunder and all the lights went off. Suffie let out a quick scream.
"Oh merlin what happened?" Lily said franticly.
"Power went out" Sirius said.
"I think
I can see that Sirius" She said.
"Hey, you asked!"
"I'll be right back" Lily said. She ran out of the
room as best she could and came back a few minutes alter.
"Here
I got some...." She started but tripped over something. "Ow!"
"How are you hurt you landed on me I'm the hurt one"
James said and laughed. Lily quickly got off him.
"Oh,
I'm um sorry." She said "I found two flash lights" She
turned them both on. "How about two of us take one of these
flashlights and go upstairs and look for candles or other flashlights
and the rest of us will search down here."
"I'll
go, I've already been to your house before so I know where the rooms
are and stuff upstairs" Suffie volunteered.
"I'll go
with her." Remus also said quickly. Lily handed Remus the
flashlight and he followed Suffie upstairs.
"Get ready
to lose Potter" She said referring to their bet.
"Shut
up" He said.
"What are you two arguing about now?"
Sirius asked
"We made a bet" Lily said.
"She
thinks Remus and Suffie like each other and we made a bet" James
explained.
"Oh, come on James don't tell me you said you
thought they didn't" Sirius said, James nodded. "Shame on
you, it's so obvious they do, you might as well pay Lily now"
"Yea well he never told us he did so I figured he
didn't" James said. Lily and Sirius were laughing. "Whatever
lets just go find some candles."
Meanwhile
"Ow"
Remus said as he tripped.
"Oh, I'm sorry I forgot to
tell you that there was a rug there, are you ok?" Suffie said
while helping him up.
"Yea I'm fine, I hope we find some
candles or something because this isn't a very good flashlight."
Remus said. They started walking again and looking through the rooms.
Everything lit up every once in a while from the lightning which was
soon followed by thunder.
"I can't find anything!"
Suffie said frustrated. "Oh hey maybe the hallway closet!"
She said and dragged Remus toward it (AN-Everyone knows what a
hallway closet is right? Just like a closet in the hallway for stuff.
Maybe I'm the only, I hope not lol, I swear I'm not crazy. Any way
I'm going to use an idea that some one who reviewed gave me, umm if I
remember correctly there penname was Vega Black [THANK YOU!], also as
I was writing this, I got a review from , Amadrieclya [THANK YOU!],
and she gave me a suggestion on what to write in this story and I
don't want to spoil it but all I have to say to is that you are
seriously a mind reader lol cause that was exactly my idea to! )
The closet had various items in it and was a little bigger than a
normal closet. Suffie walked in and started rummaging through things.
"Remus, come in her with the flashlight I can't see a
thing." She said. He walked in, shutting the door behind him. He
held the flash light towards her so she could see.
"AHA!
I finally found some candles" She yelled out.
"Good,
lets go bring them downstairs.' He turned and went to open the door.
The doorknob fell off in his hand.
"What are you waiting
for?" Suffie asked.
"Um we have a problem. The
doorknob fell off." Remus said.
"Are you sure?!"
She said franticly
"Um, the doorknob is in my hand, yes
I'm positive"
"Well excuse me"
"Sorry
that came out rude"
"Its ok" Suffie said, as
Remus started to try to ram the door down.
"Its not
going to open and no one can probably hear us, the lighting is to
loud." Suffie said to him. "Besides how long can it take
for them to realize we're gone?" Remus began laughing.
"Think
about what you just said." He replied. Suffie sat down and
sighed.
"We could be here for a while."
Back
downstairs
They had found some candles in the kitchen and
lit them all around the living room. James and Lily had begun their
game of wizards chess again, Sirius was watching.
"Anyone
feel as if were forgetting something?" Lily asked.
"Not
really, you Sirius?" James said.
"Umm I can't think
of a thing" Sirius said.
"Well we already knew
that..." Lily joked.
A while
had past, and Suffie and Remus were still stuck in the closet. It was
still thundering and lightning so even if they tried to yell to the
others it most likely wouldn't have been heard.
" Remus
how long have we been in here!?" Suffie asked. They were both
sitting next to each other.
"I don't know a couple hours
I suppose." He answered.
"They are so dense! How can
they not notice us missing?" Suffie yelled.
"Calm
down it's not as if we're going to be stuck in here forever."
Remus said trying to make Suffie not as upset.
"It might
as well be forever I'm starving!" She said while putting a hand
on her stomach and frowning. Remus stuck his hand in his pocket and
pulled out some items.
"Here eat this" he said
handing her something. " It's chocolate, I also have some every
flavor jelly beans we can split." Suffie took the chocolate he
handed her and broke it in half.
"Here, you have some
too." She said. Remus shook his head.
"It's ok, you
eat it" he replied.
"I'll feel horrible if I eat it
in front of you, please take half" she pleaded. He shook his
head again.
"I don't need it I'm not as hungry, now eat
it before I make you." He said laughing and popped a jelly bean
in his mouth. As soon as he did he spit it out and made a funny face.
Suffie laughed.
"What flavor was it?" she
asked.
"It tasted like fish sticks or something. Not a
good flavor for a jelly bean." He said. "Here try....this
one!" he said pulling out a dark brown one. She popped it into
her mouth.
"Tastes like coffee" She said, she
swallowed it but scrunched up her face, she didn't like coffee.
"Hey, that's better than fish sticks!" He yelled,
Suffie giggled. They both took another and ate it at the same time.
"Strawberry!" "Whipped cream!" They both
yelled out at the same time. Suffie giggled again and Remus smiled.
Suffie's stomach growled.
"I told you to eat that
chocolate, your starving" Remus said. Suffie sighed and took a
bite of it.
"I still feel bad about you not having any "
She said.
"You know this could be..." Remus started
to say but the flashlight went out. Remus smacked it a few times, and
then sighed when it wouldn't turn on. "I was going to say this
could be worse but forget that" The closet was now pitch black.
"What should we do? There are matches in the bag with
the candles but I don't think it would be good to light one because
if it gets knocked over or something and the closet catches on fire
we'll be stuck in here!" she shivered slightly at the thought of
being burned to death.
"Lets light just one, I'll make
sure it doesn't knock over. We'll probably be stuck here all night so
we'll have to put it out before we go to sleep." He
said.
"Unless the thunder stopped then maybe sooner we'll
get out..." She said softly " I hate thunder and lighting
it always freaks me out..." She said and moved a little closer
to Remus.
James, Sirius, and Lily hadn't
eaten dinner they just had some junk food instead. They were just
hanging around and playing games.
"I still feel like
we're forgetting something..." Lily said.
"Its
getting late maybe we should all get to sleep" James said and
everyone agreed. They went and got in there sleeping bags. Lily laid
down and then sat up again and stared around her. Sirius and James
saw her and sat up also.
"What's up Lils?" Sirius
asked.
"One...two...three..." She counted slowly
pointing to each of them "One...two...three?!" She said
again, Sirius and James now looked at her oddly.
"Lily
what are you talking about?" James asked.
"There
are only the three of us! Where is Suffie and Remus?" She asked
worriedly.
"Merlin your right. I haven't seen those two
since they went up stairs to find candle hours ago!" James said.
"Heh, I wonder what they've been doing up there for so
long" Sirius said raising his eye brows up and down. Lily
chucked a pillow at his head.
"Sirius, don't be a perv"
She said.
"I was only kidding!" He said.
"Come
on, let's go find them" James said.
Suffie
and Remus sat there they had a candle lit and put it on one of the
shelves above them. Suffie sighed.
"What?" Remus
asked her. She looked up at him.
"Nothing...you know this
really hasn't been that bad, I mean I had fun some of the time we've
been stuck in here." She said looking down.
"Yea, I
agree" He said. Suffie jumped as there was a huge clap of
thunder. "Um...Suffie?"
"Yes" She said
and looked up at him as soon as she did he bent down and kissed her.
Suffie's eyes went wide but then she slowly closed them and kissed
him back. It had only been a few seconds when the door opened and a
flashlight beamed in there faces. They both split apart immediately.
"Awww, how cute" Lily said giggled. "Looks
like you owe me some money Potter" she said grinning.
"Just
because they kiss Evans doesn't mean they are going out so I owe you
nothing." He said smirking. All of a sudden all the lights
turned on at once everyone looked up at them.
"Finally, I
was getting sick of not having power..." Sirius said. Suffie and
Remus stood up. Suffie blew out the candle.
"Hey, at
least you didn't get stuck in a closet." Remus said.
"You
didn't seem to be having that bad a time Moony" Sirius said
smirking.
"Shut up" Both Remus and Suffie said at
the same time. Both him and Suffie were blushing horribly.
