(A/N: This chapter was supposed to be part of chapter 3 but I decided to put it as chapter 4.  This story, I've noticed, is moving very slowly.)

Disclaimer: You know that I so didn't make up the Harry Potter characters. Though, characters you're not familiar with are my characters (unless you forgot). And the plot, you could say, is sort of mine (not that I intended to copy others.)

Just want to say, "Oh! You guys are so sweet! *puts one hand on her lips and fans her other hand while crying* Siriusly, (hehe) I don't know what I'd do without you people *blows kisses*! Whoa that was dramatic…Anyways, some individual my reviewers.

Christy Corr: Thank you, my first reviewer EVER! I'm thinking of writing other stories.  Like on notepad, I have a list of ideas for stories, (and I uploaded the file on Fanfiction.net), I have exactly 17 other ideas at this moment and I just keep adding and adding.  This story idea just happens to be number six. *sighs*

Smiley Mary: Quite all right and what 'what if…' thing do you mean?  I don't really hurt myself.  I'm just a 14-year-old Chinese gal who has weird self-esteem.  Yes, I knew it was you.  I should be the one thanking you, you are really sweet (and in life outside computers and internet, I like hardly say 'sweet', but I'm too happy to care =P).  I also love how you changed your pen name.  I didn't know you were always smiley (which is, BTW very good), but you make a lot of people smile =), see there I go again.

Dream*Kitty: Thx, and I hope I will.

kim the writer: Aw really? I may never understand how you would think it's surprising to get a flame, I hope I updated soon enough.  I absolutely love your encouragement. (Pssst, this story does not rock and I'm not just saying that to be one ironic author, but am I up to decide???)

This is going to be one long chapter, well I find it long.  Well, the longest for now.

My friend told me that her other friend's friend wrote this story.  It has nothing to do with Harry Potter though, but it is a Romance/Angst type.  I didn't quite read it, but I will.  I'm kind of busy with this.  So ya… visit: there is a summary there, so just check it out!

Seems Like Forever by sUsiE-cLoVer

******

Last time on 'Seems Like Forever'

"Amber, you are so weird!  Has anyone told you that before?" asked Lily.

"What are you talking about?  Lily, that project is so cool, why was I born a year later?!" sighed Amber.  "And extra bonus, French boys!" shrieked Amber excitedly giving a high-five to Lucy who shrieked as well.  Lily just shook her head.  How was she going to get through this year?  She doesn't know.  All she knows is that this will be no ordinary year. Lily buried her head in her hands and thought, 'This is going to be one long year…'

******

Chapter 4: Match me!

Lily woke up.  It was 6 a.m.  She just couldn't sleep, with what's coming up the next day, Lily was freaking out with anxiety.  God, she hated that feeling, she never had that feeling.  There comes a day when changes are going to happen, big changes.  Today was the day, where she will get to be stuck with a guy either from Hogwarts or Beauxbatons for a whole year. 

'Oh my luck!  What better way is there to dedicate your last year at school?' thought Lily banging her head on her headboard.  "Well, better get up!  Time to wash your hair Lily…" said Lily.  She got up and headed to her bathroom.  When was the last time Lily washed her hair?  'Was it two months ago?  No, I think like a month and a week.'  Lily shook her head and undressed to take one long clean shower.  Lily started to sing (and can sing pretty well)

"I'm not your average type of girl

I'm gonna show the world

The strength in me

That sometimes they can't see
I'm about to switch my style

And soon things may get wild

But I will prove
I can conquer anything"

(if you want to write this, maybe you should, in the end.)

Actually, what kept her going through these years is a little dancing, since she didn't have enough energy to dance (dancing makes her hungry).  The thing that Lily loves to do is to sing.  All her fears, worries, and anger just flow out of her mouth beautifully.  Nobody knows that she can sing like that.  Not even Lucy, her family, or Amber, or anybody, and she doesn't want anybody to ever know until she's ready.  It was her little secret.  Nobody would've ever guessed that Lily could sing.  She didn't really have the pop star image.

*FLASHBACK*

Lily was listening to the radio and she was listening to 'Through The Rain' (by Mariah Carey, but let's just say it's someone else, since it's in the 70's).  She heard that song many times before on the radio, and when the chorus came, she put the volume down, she sang so strongly even on the high notes.  Lucy was visiting and Lily totally forgot about that.   Rose (Lily's mom) heard that voice along with Lucy, so they rushed upstairs and caught her singing.

"What?" asked Lily.

"Lily, you-you were singing!" cried her mother proudly.  Lily searched for an excuse and then Lucy, who was behind Rose, stepped aside.

"Oh sorry, Luce!  I totally forgot you were coming over!" said Lily giving her best effort to change the subject.

"Lily, you were singing so good!" said Lucy.

"You guys crack me up," said Lily stiffening a laugh, "Me? Singing? No no, I was putting up the volume of this song, and-and, I got distracted by it, so I lowered the volume.  If the voice was good, then it's this singer here."  Lucy and Rose nodded seeming a little disappointed.

"Okay, okay, let me sing for you, it's true I was singing a little…" Lily started to sing in a croaky sheepish voice.  Lucy and Rose were restraining themselves to cover their ears.  Lily stopped and hid a satisfied smile.  Now everybody could've bought

"Well, um-Lils, that was, er- great!" said Lucy encouragingly, but everybody knew that was so not the idea.

"Really, you think so?  Maybe I should sing some more!" said Lily.

"Oh Lily, er- you know we don't have enough money to send you to audition Pop Idol (which is BTW a British version of American Idol, if you didn't know.  Simon just happens to be a judge, but not in this contest. I'm just mentioning Pop Idol…) All right sweetie, I'm so sorry, flower." Said Rose soothingly. 

"Sure Mum," said Lily faking a sad smile.

"Anyways," said Lucy interrupting, "Lily, let's go and do what we do at summer!"

*END FLASHBACK*

Lily smiled and got out of shower.  After she got ready for the day, with her hair still bushy, but smelling better (no grease, thank the Lord!  I was quite disgusted myself.  Who doesn't wash their hair for almost one and a half months?), she went through her common room that she shared with the arrogant James Potter and walked to the Great Hall for breakfast.  There she met her best friend, Lucy and her really special cousin, Amber.

"Hey there Lily!" greeted Amber smiling.

"Yeah, what's up?  Oh! I can't believe it's today.  I'm so nervous!" started Lucy.

Lily intervened before Lucy started rambling – which Lily knew she would do. "Just chill Luce, chill until the time comes, then you can panic."

"Gee thanks, Lily.  Don't know what I'd do without you," said Lucy sarcastically.  Lily smiled.

"Hey Amber, you planning on making any moves on zee Frensh 'otties?" asked Lucy curiously.

"Now, now Lucy.  Why would she do that?  She can't be unfaithful to her dear Jamesie-Poo…" cooed Lily sardonically.  Though, Amber was serious.

"Lily, how sweet of you to understand," said Amber sweetly and hugged Lily.  Lucy and Lily just rolled their eyes.

"But!" started Amber, startling the both of them, "A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!"

"All right!" cheered Lucy.  Even though Lucy hangs with Lily, (Lucy does have other popular friends too) she still has that girly touch to her: the boys!  Keyword of every girl's life: Boys, well, Guys…

"We gotta go, Lils; class starts in fifteen minutes," said Lucy.

"You are so prompt and organized, Luce!" whined Lily.

"You're welcome.  I don't like to be an agenda, but hey, we have Muggle Studies; I'm too excited on what we're gonna learn!" said Lucy excitedly.  Everybody around the table stared at her, shocked.

"Lucy!  Did you just say, you're excited to learn!?" chuckled Frank Longbottom.

"Laugh all you want, I'm going.  Lily are you coming?" asked Lucy exasperatedly.

"All right!  All right!" said Lily angrily picking up her books.  Lily lazily stood up and followed Lucy slouching.

"Stand up straight and walk properly!" barked Lucy.  Lily jumped and did what she demanded.

"Would you cool it? I know you're nervous, but seriously!" said Lily.

"Lily! Please, just stop! I wanna panic, so just be quiet!" groaned Lucy, a little too loud.

"That time of the month, Hayden?" asked Sirius coolly from behind.  Lucy narrowed her eyes.

"Stay calm.  Don't let him get to you!  Just walk away," whispered Lily.  Lucy thought about this for a moment.  She so wanted to hurt him severely, but her friend was right. Moreover, Lily was Head Girl, so she could take points off Lucy for starting a fight – she would have to, or else someone else  would, so Lucy resisted.  The Marauders walked faster and started laughing; when he passed Lucy, he smirked and snickered.

"So," said Lucy a little roughly, "What did you choose for your top three jobs?" asked Lucy.

"Hmmm, I picked 'Discovery of Muggle Artefacts Office" for my first choice, 'Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office' for my second, and, well, 'Auror' for my third choice." Replied Lily.

"Auror?" asked Lucy astonished.  "Aw, Lily, I don't have any of the same as yours!"

"Yeah, the first two, is what I really want to do.  I don't really want to be an Auror, but it's the best I can find that's at least a bit interesting," said Lily, "What did you pick?"

"Um, number one: 'Vocal Expressives', number two. 'Theatrics', and 'EMT Assistancy'" replied Lucy proudly.  (A/N: Okay, words like 'expressives' and 'assistancy' are not real words, but it sounds better than Expression and Assistance)

"What's EMT?" asked Lily curiously.  "I was asking everybody what that was,"

"EMT, you know, Emergency Medical Technician.  I thought you would know Lily," said Lucy.  Lily didn't say anything.  She was too busy thinking. How lucky was Lucy.  She could choose Vocal Expressives (singing).  Lily wanted to do that more than her other choices.

'Then why didn't you choose it, if you did?' thought Lily, wrestling with her head. 'Because.  What would people think?  They would all laugh at me, saying I don't look like one, etc…' thought Lily replying to herself.

'Lily, do you care what people really think?'

'No, not really…"

'So?  Look, music is not about image.  Music comes from the heart and soul.  People listen to music, because, well, it sounds good!'

'Still!' whined Lily.

'This is ridiculous, I'm not talking to you anymore!' 

Lily felt as if a part of her had just stormed off.

'Hey wait!'  No answer came.

"Hello!  Anybody there?  Lily?  Lily! Snap out of it!" said Lucy trying to wake up Lily from wherever she was.  Lucy slapped her lightly, but not light enough.

"Hey!  What was that for?!" screeched Lily.

"You were going to walk into a wall.  Come on, Muggle Studies is just a few steps away, so move your feet one in front of the other; you can do it slowly, if you want, we'll just miss this course…" said Lucy. 

Lily just rolled her eyes and said nothing.

***

"Okay class, is there anybody who finished making their choices for your profession ideas?" asked Professor Lovegood.  Many people handed their parchments, actually almost everybody in class did.  Lily was thinking quickly.  It wasn't due today, but spaces are limited.  Lily didn't know what to do.  Should she just choose Vocals?  Should she just go for what she put down?  Should she leave school? Should she fly to a foreign country? 

'Life is so screwed up!'  Lily just shook her head and handed in her parchment.

"Is that all for now?"

The class said nothing.

"Okay, now remember, today you will, find out your wife/husband.  Are you all excited?" asked the Professor brightly.  Some students cheered and some groaned; Lily was one of them.  The class wasn't all that interesting, at least to Lily it wasn't. 

Professor Lovegood was talking about the evolution of Muggle technology as in airplanes, microwaves, electricity, television, wardrobe, and especially telephones.  Most of the class was amazed.  Lily answered a lot of questions and earned fifty points in that first class.  The next three classes were a complete bore.  Seriously, she was considering whether she should drop dead than to pay attention, not that people were.

***

It was 6:30 p.m.  Meanwhile in the Lily's dorm…

"Oh my God, I'm so hyper!  I can't wait!" shrieked Linda Florence.  Linda had dirty-blonde hair with amber-coloured eyes.  She was one of the popular people and the Marauder Girls and also hangs out with Lucy, but since her friends circle the Marauders almost all their spare time.  The M girls are like the most eligible girls that are 'allowed' to actually get the 'privilege' to touch a Marauder, to eat with them, and gets a chance to sit on their lap.  With all the faithful deeds Amber has done, she had not won to be part of the Marauder girls club, (yes, the Marauders get to choose them).  Linda, though, was part of it, and so was Christy

"I hope I get Sirius, though, I mean, he is so gorge-uss!" pronounced Linda.

"Yeah me too!  Yes, but James and Remmy, are still so cool!  It's just that Rem has to be so 'nice'; I mean Sirius has the bad-boy image all the way.  You can spot him a mile away!' cried Christy.  Christy Robbin had long blonde hair with light-blue eyes.  She was Heather Dumbledore's best friend  Heather also had long beautiful blonde hair with big [not really big as in humongous] deep blue eyes that has different sorts of blue mixed in it that guys would die for and is known as the 'hottest girl in the universe and in history'.  She was nice and fair to everybody.  She was nominated Yule Queen for two years already and was asked to be an M girl, but had refused.  And she was constantly told she was wasting it on a Slytherin.

"Honestly, why are you so eager to start this project?" asked Lily wearily, "I mean, we're getting graded on how we live our lives!"

"Well, one thing is the guy!" all the girls answered.

"So?  What if you get a really nerdy nerd?  Or, or, what if you get one of those type of guys like … Snape!" cried Lily disgustingly.  All the girls cried 'Ew' and 'Eugh', except for Heather.

"He's nice!" insisted Heather.  Everybody shook their heads violently yelling a no-way hosé!

"And what about birth? Ain't it gonna ruin your pretty figures?" asked Lily nicely.

"I hope not!" said Christy.  "I have a future ahead of me you know."

"Like really! I can't believe we have to go through that.  I really do think that the teachers are crazy!  How about you Lily, isn't it going to ruin yours?" asked Linda.

"Lin! I don't have a figure!" replied Lily sadly.

"Now, don't put yourself down like that!" protested Lucy, Heather, Linda, and Christy.

"Why?  It's true!" insisted Lily.

"Look Lils, you're not all that bad.  What shampoo do you use?  You just have to care about yourself a little more," said Heather hugging her. 

"And Luce, why don't you like Sirius? He's a real great guy, once you really get to know him," asked Heather softly.

"Let me ask you something, does he ever put his arm around you, and nod at everything you say and constantly winks at you and when you giggle? Does he grin a huge grin that it almost looks like he's blushing?" asked Lucy rather speedily while taking a breath.  It took Heather a few seconds to answer that question.

"Well, yeah…" answered Heather.

"And does he ever stop bugging you to join the M Girls Club saying there's a special spot there for you.  Does he stop staring at your body – particularly at your butt – and never misses a day to compliment you?" asked Lucy once again taking another breath.

"Yeah, so?" said Heather slightly confused to the idea that this had nothing to do with her question.

"Then don't ask!  He's such a stupid little git and a major show-off.  He just wants me to be part of his fan club, and to be his personal whore or something," snapped Lucy.

"You know, Lucy, in the outside people might think you hate Sirius with all your life, but deep down, you know you like him," suggested Linda.

"Ew, Linda that's the meanest thing you ever said to me!" cried Lucy angrily.

"Well, you have to admit that he's a total hottie," said Christy.  Lily angrily put her books away.

"NO! HE IS NOT HOT, and I hate him, I loathe him, I dislike him, I detest him!" shouted Lucy indignantly.  Everybody looked down.

"We'd better go, it's dinner time and after that, you know –" suggested Lily quietly.  Everybody agreed and walked out.  When they walked out, they saw a 7th year girl weeping in a corner.

"Hey, what's wrong?" asked Lily soothingly.

***

Meanwhile, in the boy's dorm…

"So? Who do you want Prongs?" asked Peter.

"I want Heather!  It's not fair!  What does she see in Malfoy?  He's slimy and pale and ewww!" whined James, "But French girls can please me.  I went to France once and –"

"You sound like a girl, James; Heather or Lucy for me," said Sirius.

"Lucy?  Why do you want her?  She'll make your year a living hell, Padfoot.  This is like … committing suicide!" said Remus.

"I want lots of beautiful children running around.  Lucy might be a cold fish, but I got the charm. Sooner or later, she'll be begging to kiss me," replied Sirius coolly.

"Uh huh." doubted Remus.  'More like "dead man walking…"' 

"What about you, Moony?" asked James.

"I don't care, just not anybody overweight, or horrible to look at," answered Remus.

"Let's go.  We have to go eat now," said Sirius getting up.

"Hey!  What about me?  You didn't ask me!" squealed Peter.

"Okay…so what about you?" asked Sirius, not caring at all.  Peter looked up, pointing at his chin.

"Well, I don't know –" rambled Peter, not really finishing.

"Okay, then let's go!  I'm starving!" said Sirius leaving the door.  Peter scowled at him.

***

"What's wrong, Arabella?" asked Lily once again to the tall brunette sitting on the floor with her head buried on her knees.

"M-my b-b-boyfriend broke up w-with m-me, after I caught him m-m-making out with a Ravenclaw girl!" burbled Arabella, crying her eyes out. 

Then the Marauders walked by.

"Hello Linda, Christy, Heather, ladies," said Sirius flirtatiously.  The girls giggled and he smirked.  "Hayden, Evans," said Sirius loathingly.  Sirius didn't really notice Arabella, but Remus did.  "Is there something wrong, ma belle?" (A/N: You might think it means 'My Arabella' but I meant it as, how do I say it, like 'My beautiful young lady'.  Smooth, Remmy, smooth…) Arabella giggled and a smile crept up her Arabella's face.  Remus found that it was a pretty smile.

"Well, let's go," said James.

"Yeah, Arabella –" started Lucy.

"Call me Bella," insisted Arabella.

"Sure, Bella, do you mind joining us for dinner?" asked Lucy.

"Thanks," replied Bella.

***

In the Great Hall.  Lily and Amber talked a lot mostly.  The other girls had their own conversation.  Bella was one pretty girl when she wasn't crying.  Lily tried to cheer her up and, apparently, it was working.  She had a very pretty smile.  Dinner was, as usual, delicious.  Everybody was dismissed, except the 7th years, who waited rather patiently for The Beauxbatons students.

Then an owl from nowhere came in.  It landed in front of Professor Dumbledore and stuck its leg out so he could take the parchment.  The Headmaster did, read it, and then stood up, nodding at Professor McGonagall.  She stood up and tapped her goblet with a spoon.

"May I have your attention please? The Headmaster would like to inform you something," announced Professor McGonagall.  Then Professor Dumbledore stood up.

"Students, I'd like to tell you that the students from Beauxbatons will not arrive tonight due to a slight delay.  They will arrive later tonight, but it will be very late.  We will do the matching tomorrow.  I'm sorry about this, just one more day all right?  Goodnight!" said Professor Dumbledore.  Everybody groaned and got up from their seats.

***

(A/N: Now, I just wanna let you know, I would've stopped it here, but since I'm nice, I will continue, maybe I'll do something evil later.)

The next morning, Lily got up and quickly dressed.  Lily now had a new friend, Bella.  She was really nice.  Anyways, Lily woke up woke up with a smile.  After she was ready she went to the Gryffindor common room and met Lucy and Bella there.

"Good morning, Lily!" greeted Lucy and Bella happily.  They walked to the Great Hall and ate their breakfast and chatted for a long time.  So long, that they lost track of time.  Lily, Lucy and Bella ran.  Lily ran and didn't watch where she was going.  She bumped into something or someone and fell back knocking all her books.  Lucy and Bella stopped running.

"I am so sorry!" said Lily gathering her books.  "I wasn't looking and-"

"No, eetz okeh.  I am very sorry," said a guy in a French accent.  Lily looked up and saw a tall and muscular handsome guy with dark-brown hair.

"W-w-well-" started Lily but was interrupted.

"We're late for a class, and we just had to get there in time, our Potions teacher is not that nice," said Lucy.  The French dude laughed lightly, it was those charming kind.  Lucy blushed.

"I'm André Delachère, you?" said André.

"I'm Lucy Hayden."

"I'm Arabella Figg, but you can call me Bella."

"And I'm Lily Evans."

"Well, very nice to meet you.  Well, I do not want you to get en trouble, en raison de moi," said André.

"Pardon me?" asked Bella.

"Désolé, I cannot communicate in Eengleesh dat well.  I mean to say, um, I do not want you to get in trouble beguz o' me." Answered André very politely.

"Oh! That's all right, do you need any help?" asked Lucy.  Lily couldn't say anything, she was in awe of André's dazzling looks.

"(1)Merci de votre offre, mais je suis très bien," replied André, "(2)Peut-être je vous reverrai, mademoiselles," and walked off.

"What did he just say?" demanded Lily.

"I don't know, but we better go now," said Lucy getting out of her trance.

(A/N: 1-Thank you for your offer, but I'm fine and 2- Maybe I will see you again, ladies)

The rest of the day was pretty typical.  Boring and boring.  The girls just couldn't stop thinking about that André guy.  After classes ended.  They had a delicious dinner and some Beauxbatons students sat in Gryffindor and others sat somewhere.

(A/N: And now for some entertainment…)

"André!" squealed Heather.  "Comment allez-vous?" (How are you?) asked Heather pecking him in both cheeks who in turn hugged her tightly.  Lucius was watching them enviously.  Obviously, a lot of people were surprised that Heather could speak in French with a very French accent.  All the guys were jealous of André, because it seems like he's flirting with her.  And all the girls were jealous of Heather, because it seems like she's flirting with a really hot guy, and she has a boyfriend!

"Mais j'suis bien et toi?" asked André (I'm good, and you?)

"Bien, bien.  Oh ! Je te manque beaucoup!  Comment est Michelle?" asked Heather (Good, good.  Oh!  I miss you so much.  How is Michelle?)

"Elle est encore un peu malade, mais elle va mieux," replied André sadly.  (She's still a little sick, but she's getting better.)

"Je suis si désolé.  Mais asseyez-vous, Monsieur. Nous sommes supposons de manger maintenant," said Heather sarcastically. (Now, sit down, mister.  We're supposed to be eating now.)

"Avant, je veux te donner quelque chose," said André, reaching out his pocket for something. (But first, I want to give you something.)  André pulled out a small velvet box and handed it to Heather.  Now they were the centre of attention, but they didn't notice, since there were murmurs in the background. 

Heather opened the box and found a silver ring with writing on the surface of it.  'Des Amis pour toujours' with carvings on them.  Heather squealed and hugged him tightly who hugged her back. 

That was the last straw!  Lucius had it.  He stood up and walked over the Gryffindor table and put his arm around Heather before she could say a million thank-yous.

"Heather, what do you think you are doing?!" asked Lucius angrily.  "You're not going to accept, are you?"  Heather was confused, then Dumbledore chuckled lightly that no one heard, but Heather did.  Now she understood.

"What if I said yes?" asked Heather.  Lucius was shocked and furious, he looked as if he was going to put the Cruciatus Curse on André; he, in turn, was very confused.  After seeing Lucius' reaction, Heather started laughing.

"Il a pensé que vous me proposez pour vrai!" explained Heather, still in a fit of giggles.  (Lucius thought André was proposing to her)

Lucius knew that they had had a serious relationship before.  Everybody from Beauxbatons was laughing/ all though it wasn't that funny, but they were laughing at Lucius' reaction.  They all knew that André had a very deep relationship with Heather.  (She also learned the language from him.)

"You know, Lucius honey, and you should know what everything's about before going hysterical," said Heather, pecking him on the lips.

"What?"

"Lucius, he was giving me a friendship ring, no biggie!  Look, it says, 'Des Amis pour toujours', which means 'Friends Forever'" said Heather snaking her arm around his neck and kissing him deeply, of course he kissed her back muttering an 'Oh!'.  Everybody was disturbed by this image.  Lily and James were scarred for life.  (A/N: If you are disgusted by this image, picture Lucius as Draco, you know, with short hair gelled back, or whatever that pleases you [Though a lot of people actually like ).  Dinner went rather smoothly after that.  Once again, the other students, except the 7th years from Hogwarts and Beauxbatons, were dismissed.

"Students, let the matching begin!" cheered Professor Dumbledore.  "Professor McGonagall will be passing a metal plate (not the ones you eat).  These plates which have a piece of glass on top will help you indicate your 'partners'."  The teachers cleared up the table and Madame Maxime explained the system to her students in French.  And then another table was placed in front of the Great Hall and two giant transparent containers appeared.  They were like giant goblets.

"After, you know whom you are partnered with, you may leave, if you wish," said Professor McGonagall as she passed those plates.  When she was done, the goblets spinned.  They were full of parchments with names on them.  One goblet was filled with the girls' names and the other for boys. Everybody kept their eyes fixed for a name to appear on the glace.  Match after match was whispered amongst the teachers. 

Lucy finally got her name and kept her head up with her arm resting on the table.  Arabella got her name too, but they waited for Lily to get hers before they left.  It was a long time before Lily got hers.  Then suddenly, Lily saw smoke behind the glass and her name appeared.  The girls left the Great Hall silently and promised to say nothing until they reached their dorms.

The girls could barely control their emotions.  Lily just shut her mouth very tightly.  They looked as if they will jump for joy or to jump off a cliff.  They went to Lucy's dorm; Lucy's roommates weren't there, so it was perfect. Not that they were bad people, but it was just better for the three of them.

"Should I get Amber? You are pretty close, right?" asked Bella suggestively.  Lucy and Lily nodded.  A few seconds later, Amber walked up the stairs.

"What's up, guys?  Did you guys start without me?" asked Amber.

"Nope, we were too good of friends to not start without you," said Lily sternly.

"Ok, so you first, Bella, who'd you get?" asked Amber.  Bella giggled and replied excitedly.

"I got-" Suddenly footsteps were marching to Lucy's dorm.  It was Heather, Christy, and Linda.

"Hey girls!" squealed Christy.

"You guys go first!" insisted Bella curiously.

"All right, I got Lucius!" said Heather.  Everybody was like 'wow, next!'

"I got Henri Thibodeau, dunno who he is but I just hope he's good-looking," said Christy.

"I got Christopher Manny; he's ok," replied Linda.  Everybody started to giggle for no apparent reason.

"You Bella, you were going to say…until some people interrupted," said Lucy meaning Christy, Linda, and Heather who replied with an 'oopsies'.

"I got…Remus Lupin!" squealed Bella with excitement.

"Luce?"

"I'm not going to tell you!" said Lucy stubbornly.

"That's not fair, we told us ours! *gasps* Is it Snape?" whined Linda.

"No! Of course not!  Fine, I got-" started Lucy and then muttered the name.

"What?" asked Lily.

"I got-" started Lucy again and muttered a name.

"Just say it!" yelled the girls impatiently.

"I got SIRIUS BLACK!  There I said it!  Happy now?" yelled Lucy angrily.  Everybody gasped.

"You got issues, girl!" said Amber.

"Next please!" insisted Lucy.

"That leaves you, Lil," said Amber.

"I, I g-g-got-" started Lily.
