Okay it has been about 10 minutes according to my watch and I cannot stand it any longer, we are just sitting here and her every now and then sneering at me. I hope mum comes back soon. This is highly doubtful really, as she has probably fallen asleep. I check over the top of the chair, yep she's asleep, snoring and all! Well as she is asleep and unable to stop me I get up and walk away, not actually sure where I am going yet, just a walk anywhere but were the marauders are.
But of course my luck runs short and who else do I bump into but Remus Lupin. No he is the nice one so maybe he will let me get away. "Hey Lily" he says hmmm, nothing suspicious yet so I decide to be polite a reply.
"Hi Remus" I say
He then gets this really serious A/N (you know its funny I forgot how to spell that just then because I am so used to writing Sirius) look on his face that meant that I was going to get a scolding, I knew that face all to well as it is usual on my face whenever I see the marauders. "Lily, I think you should come and explain to James now that you were just playing a joke on him earlier because he is exceedingly happy and not only annoying my and Sirius but when you tell him its going to hurt him so you need to get it over with sooner" he said with pure concern for his friend, god he really is a nice person.
"Okay, lead the way" I say, feeling a little bit guilty, but hey I needed my watch back!
On the way there he kept up conversation saying that by chance they had met in first class the owner of the hotel they would be staying at. When we arrived I saw that the owner obviously hadn't returned to his seat yet as there was an extremely short, elderly man, who was on the pudgy side, slightly resembling Professor Slughorn their potions teacher, he even had the receding hair line.
When James saw me he perked up visibly, "Lilikins how are you? I missed you so much" he exclaimed!
The Hotel owner said immediately "Lilikins, oh what a lovely name!" to which I nearly laughed but then decided it wouldn't be very polite.
"Oh um Lily is my real name, its just James here well it's a nickname" I finished lamely, "but it's very nice to meet you Mr…"
"Oh, my names Mr Tyrtle, but you guys can call me by my fist name, Myrtle" he said flashing his pearly whites, which weren't so pearly or White.
Remus gave me a meaningful look and I knew I should talk to James right away. So I excused myself and apologised for being rude, promising myrtle to come back and talk about his hotel. But the hard part was finding somewhere to talk to James privately, so no one will see or hear him yelling or whatever his reaction will be. The toilets was a big no, no, that just seemed wrong, but were else could we go?
Well I eventually found an empty area in the back of the aircraft, where no one likes to sit. James was looking pleased, I guess he thought we were coming back here to make-out, NOT LIKELY. Even if I a feeling slightly sorry for him. Well I might as well get this over and don with then. "James, I have something to tell you"
His face just fell, I think he realised he wont be getting the treatment he wanted. "I, well, about before" I start "Im sorry if you this hurts you, I didn't mean for that to happen, I really just wanted my watch back and, well Im was being evil I guess…." I then feel a pair of strong arms on mine.
James looks me dead in the eye. "Lil', your rambling" Well you be too if you were doing this hey Potter!
"Oh right, ok" I say blocking out my frustration, after all I may be sorry for him, but I still hate him. " well there is no easy way to say it really, I was just pretending to like you to get my watch back" then I had a brain wave, the more I was mean, the more he would hate me and I would never be bothered by the boy again. So I didn't even explain, I just walked back to the others, rather rudely if I do say so myself!
I sat down next to Myrtle and asked him what hotel he owned. He smiles at me and says "The Magic Pony, it really is a wonderful hotel!" what did he just say what I think he said? He owns "The Magic Pony" as in the hotel me and my family are going to be staying at, as in the hotel Remus had said the marauders would be staying at. Oh, curse my luck. Hmm I might make sure this is true maybe I will get lucky and I heard Remus wrong maybe he said this was the owner of a hotel that he isn't staying at.
"Um, Remus did you say…"
"Yes lily that's were me and the marauders are staying and by the look of misery on your face I would say you and your family are to right?" he interrupted.
But before I could reply Black blurted out something, "The marauders and I Remus,the marauders and I!" since when has Black been one to speak properly?
"Yes that is where I and my family are staying"
"Oh really? Said myrtle, you would probably just the same age as my granddaughter, I will just go get her for you, you will get on splendidly!" and with that he shuffled off to find his relative.
James eventually returned and was acting just as normal, stupidly. He had a girl hanging off his arm. She was tall blonde with blue eyes and was wearing an extremely short skirt. I really have no idea where he finds these girls, especially when he is on an airplane.
After about two minutes I figured she is just another bimbo like all the others, batting her eyelashes and giggling at things that aren't funny. I guess this is his payback. But I can tell you, it isn't hurting, the only thing that is running through my mind is humour, Im inwardly laughing at James poor choice of girls.
Remus looked at me sceptically, as if blaming me for his choice, like I had set him up with the girl! Hah! I would pick someone with at least half a brain, but I guess it's only for potter so he only deserves this kind of person. Remus was about to comment when myrtle returned with a girl with long curly black hair with piercing blue eyes that am sure I had seen before. She gives everyone a faint smile and then lets myrtle introduce her. "This is my granddaughter sunny, she does have a twin brother but he seems to have run off somewhere, why don't I go find him whilst you get acquainted." So he waddled away leaving sunny looking a bit apprehensive.
Black, being the undeniably social person he is got the conversation going. On an all round known subject, music. I thought this a bit radical of him; I thought he only cared about his looks and girls. Shows you how wrong and judgmental I can be.
"Well I like the Beatles" said Sunny, looking like she was glad they had brought up the subject.
"Hmmm, yeah some of theirs is good" I say.
"I prefer punk and metal myself, like The Ramones" says Potter. SHOCK HORROR, James Potter knows about muggle bands. This formed quite a long conversation/argument about who had the best music taste; all of us had different views. James bimbo had walked off bored ages ago.
"What type of music do you listen to Remus" I asked curiously, I've never been really sure what type he would go for.
"Um, well, rock music is pretty good" he says. Ha! I just had a hilarious mental picture of Remus in his school uniform jumping around like a lunatic in the mosh pit. It's weird really to see Remus in free dress, Im used to seeing him in a shirt and tie. Now he is sitting before me in baggy jeans and a tight black t-shirt, he looks quite attractive actually. With his hair slightly ruffled from the static of the seat and his eyes all droopy from being deprived of sleep. Sunny seems to have noticed him to as she is surreptitiously checking him out.
I can see myrtle walking down the aisle, every now and then turning his head, presumably talking to someone walking behind him. When they reach us I get a first glimpse of Sunny's twin brother, it is the boy I collided with earlier. Oh Chicken Pie, The embarrassment. He seems to remember me too, as he is giving me a smile of recognition. Then he says, "Hmm, the girl who went bump we meet again! How are you?"
I flush as red as my hair before answering "yeah I'm good, I'm Lily by the way"
"Hey Lily, Im, Michael, but call me mike" Then Potter had the cheek to clear his throat as if we were doing something wrong, what a hypocrite. But mike was nice and introduced himself to everybody else anyway.
It turns out me and sunny have quite a lot in common and we are getting pretty close, at least I have a sane person to turn to on this flight finally, being surrounded by the marauders is pretty suffocating! Yes Remus and Sunny seem to be getting on quite well. They are talking about her school she goes to, and he is telling her all about Hogwarts. She must be a witch then I didn't even know the hotel we were going to was magical, petunia wont be very happy! Hmmm, I think I have some match making to do, Remus and Sunny sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G FIRST COMES LOVE, THEN COMES……. Oh I better respond to people who are talking to me instead of singing in my head!
