House
Diary of Lacia Snape.
Well,
if their going to keep us safe they sure know how to do it if style.
If we weren't so upset with the ministry we might thank them. But,
unfortunately we are. We being Lily, Edith, Alice, Frank, myself and
the marauders.
The place where we are basically locked in is
flash. We all have our own rooms for one! We've always had dorms
before. Our own kitchen with two house elves. A big common room.
No, a huge common room. With, eight
tables for homework. Book cases that go to the ceiling filled with
books. Not just texts books either. But with good reading books.
Romance, historical fiction, mystery, thriller, you name it. We have
it kind-of-thing. I even saw Sirius looking at a thriller with
interest!
The room itself is plain cream walls, which Professor
Dumbledore says we are allowed to decorate them through which is
good. We even have our own swimming pool. Apparently this used to be
the Head students room, Dumbledore just expanded it for our purposes.
The couches are really comfy and great for reading on. The fire place
is a handsome thing. It has a portrait on the chimney of all of us!
Apparently, the ministry painter painted it for us. It's amazing we
were all dress in beautiful robes, Lily's emerald green like her
eyes, same with James.
That didn't make Lily happy though. Funny
that.
I'm in purple, Edith in blue. Remus in blue, Peter in
Yellow, Sirius in Red. Alice in pink and Frank in mauve. Everyone
looks really handsome and beautiful. I'd love to know when they had
the time to do it though.
Anyway, our bedrooms are simple. My just
had a double four poster bed with a deep purple duvet. Two oak bed
side tables with nice lamps on each. An oak dresser and a large
mirror. Dumbledore says we can add our own touch though so that's
good. It's a bit plain for my tastes. The first thing I did was put
my framed picture of Lily, Edith, Alice and I on one of my bed side
tables.
Oh, we also have a desk, a nice armchair and, a big book
case. I do really like this room.
I was just unpacking, when
someone burst into my room in an awful hurry.
"Snape!' It was
Sirius Black, of course. Anyone else would knock. I had my broomstick
in hand; halfway towards what I thought might be my closet to put it
in there. I paused, mid-step, and stumbled.
Have I mentioned I'm a klutz? I am,
anyway I almost went flat on my face but I got my balance back just
in time. But by the time that had happened I was more than a little
short tempered. Not just 'cause I was embrassed, I was tired, and
just a tiny bit emotionally drained.
"Black, get out of my
room." I said rather patiently, if you consider my mood. At
least I think I was. Sirius just ignored me and flopped on my bed. My
bed of all places! There is an armchair, why couldn't he have sat on
that if he had to sit.
"I'm just across the hall, Lacy,
chill. We share a bathroom. By the way, that's not your closet
that's the door to the bathroom. The closet is on the other side of
the room. It's walk in. Got a good spot for your brooms." I
glared at him. However attractive he is, I'm not on his side. I am
swisterland, neutral. Thats my stand on the Lily/James hating
eachother thing. I can not be seen to be fratisnising more with one
of the Marauders than one of my girls.
"Thank you, Black,"
I said gruffly going to put my broom away. It was nice of him, it
safe me a whole five seconds of walking..
Why wouldn't he get out of my room? I
asked him nicely. Well, nicely for me. I usually am on Lily's side
about the marauders, if I have to pick a side that is. Better to just
ignore them. If you yell at them for their idiotic pranks, you just
encourage them.
He didn't leave just sat watching me unpack.
Hes getting a little creepy to be honest.
Dinner time, I'll
finish later.
Lacy.
All around me are familiar
faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for
their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are
filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my
head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I
find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which
I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
Mad
World- Gary Jules
Diary of Lacia Snape.
We
saw Devons' little sister at dinner tonight. Her eyes were all puffy
and red rimmed. Much like our own. When she saw us, she threw herself
into our arms. Sobbing once more. Her name is Holly, it broke my
heart, I tell you. I thought of her parents, and of her. She is just
a kid, she is far too young to be dealing with these kinds of
emotions. It will destroy you if she isn't strong. I cried when I saw
her, and I found myself turning into Sirius shoulder for comfort of
all people. It was an accident of course.
But after dinner
something magical happned (no pun intened I assure you).Ok, let me
set the scene. I'm sitting in my purple armchair, a magically altered
radio is playing, and Sirius is on my desk chair legs on either side
of the back. Lily, Edith and Alice are sitting on my bed. Lily with
her legs crossed, Lacy with her back against the head broad and Edith
with her head in Lily's lap and Alice lying on her stomach. James was
sitting on my desk with his back leaning on the wall. Remus up
against my bookcase one of my books in hand. A muggle one. Frank was
lying on a rug on my floor looking at my Gryffindor poster. We were
just listening to a muggle tape playing in my magically altered
radio. The tape was a Queen one. I'm obsessed with Queen.
'Mama
just killed a man,
put a gun against his head,
pulled my trigger, now he's dead'
I sung along like I always did, quietly along to myself, Bohemian
Rhaspody was the song, its one of my favourites. Then a low voice
joined in with mine.
"Mama, life had just begun,
But
now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh, didn't mean to
make you cry" It was
Black. I didn't say a word.
Slowly one by one everyone joined in.
Tears began to pour down my face. I looked around everyone else was
crying too. I guess it was turning into mourning for Devon and
Ellie.
'Is this how we are going to mourn them?" Alice asked
her beautiful brown hair bouncing as she sat up. I nodded slowly,
smiling through my tears.
"I guess so, singing, dancing.
Seems appropriate doesn't it? They wouldn't us to be crying for them.
Ellie and Devon loved dancing and singing. Fun, they lived for it."
I watched as a fresh crop of tears poured down Lily's face
"Let's
Dance then, Snape." Sirius said pulling me up as another song
came on. I couldn't help myself I began to laugh and cry at the same
time as the beginning lyrics to Killer Queen came on and Sirius swung
me around my spacious room. While we all sung along. Ellie and Devon
on our minds. None of us could really sing but thats not the point.
Ellie and Devon would have loved this.
I couldn't help but smile
as Sirius spun me out and I banged into Alice who was dancing with
Frank, also giggling. When the song finished, I stopped the tape,
about to exchange it for another.
'We should put this one on,"
Lily suggested holding out a tape Ellie had made me. My heart skipped
a beat. Ellie had made it for me for Christmas. I'd lost it, never
had a chance to listen to it. I nodded unable to speak for a
moment.
Ellie's' voice filled the room, we were all
silent.
"Lacy, Merry Christmas. I've put some of my brother
and my band on here. I hope you like it I love you! Hugs! Kisses!
From Ellie, the sexiest!"
Peter sobbed. I began to shake as
the opening lyrics filled the room. I was stuck in time unable to
move. It was so like Ellie to make a tape of her singing.
'Rain clouds come to play
again
has no one told you she's not breathing?
Hello I am your
mind giving you someone to talk to
Hello
If I smile and don't
believe
Soon I know I'll wake from this dream
Don't try to fix
me, I'm not broken
Hello I'm the lie living for you so you can
hide
Don't cry
Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping
Hello I'm
still here All that's left of yesterday' (Hello-
Evanescene)
It was her singing, as we all stood crying, it was like a message from the grave. Like she was telling us, that she had known and that she still loved us. That she missed us. The song was so uncharacteristic for her.
She was so cheerful and insane almost.
She was so happy all the time. We had to stop the music why we got a
hold of our selves. So we could sing along to the rest or dance and
have a happy party doing what she would've wanted, her and Devon
both.
I don't exactly know why everyone was in my room. They had
arrived one by one. Sirius first, then Lily and the girls, then the
rest of the boys. But I'm so glad we were all together, not alone
crying and thinking of them. Sirius, at one point wrapped his arms
around me, and let me cry into him. I felt my heart speed up. What
was going on?
Lacy.
Think of me, think of me
fondly,
when we've said goodbye.
Remember me once in a
while -
please promise me you'll try.
When you find that, once
again, you long
to take your heart back and be free -
if you
ever find a moment,
spare a thought for me
Think of Me- Phantom Of the Opera
Extract from a conversation with Albus Dumbledore and Anthony Signbridge
"Dumbledore, we are going to have to lock them down. This latest attack. It happened in the school! If it wasn't for Minvera they may have gotten in. It was very lucky she was patrolling! Otherwise, you would have more than two dead students,"
"I am quite aware of that, thank you Anthony. I was planning on locking them down tonight. I am sending the orders as we speak, two house elves, are going to stay with them and prepare there food. We will only allow Remus out for his transformation obviously. I am sad that it had to come to this."
"It is for the best, Dumbledore,"
"I know, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to it,"
