'Not good, not good.' Was all Lily could think of, as James walked up the stairs towards his room. 'Oh for the love of Merlin's socks, how do I end up in these situations?'
They were almost to the door when a horrible thought hit Lily like curse. 'He shares a room with three other people. Two of them happen to be the ones who got me in this mess, and the other one has no idea. And they have to change in there.' This was the thought that did her in. she nearly died of a heart attack right then and there.
"Here we are Lily, home sweet home." Said James as he opened the door. At first glance it looked like any other dormitory room at a boarding school, but with a few notable differences. Sure with their clothes throw everywhere, books lying open and half eaten food stuffed under the bed, it could pass as a normal dorm, if not for the moving posters and pictures, a couple of brooms floating in the corner, and the cauldron with the smelly green goop in it (thought it could probably pass as an science experiment gone wrong.)
"I thought I told Sirius to move that already." Said James, to himself. "Moony and Padfoot are up to some thing, and I don't know what it is. Now that itself is unusual but now Lily's missing and… okay she might just be avoiding me again but she usually shows up around now to yell at me, or something."
And as if just realizing that there was no one in the room other then an owl-flied Lily, he looked down at the cage still In his hand and said "and I've been talking to an owl this whole time. Lily's right I have gone completely bonkers."
'No duh.' She thought.
"Well I guess you do remind me of her a little. You both have these amazing green eyes and you both are easy to talk to. Well the latter is probably cause you can't talk back but still."
All this was said as James looked around the room for the perfect place for Lily (well at lease a space that was not covered in cloths, papers, or books, but Lily doesn't really need to know that.) "Now where to put you. Can't put you but the window, to cold. Can't put you near the door with out fear of Sirius. He'll probably forget your there and come barreling in and knock your cage over; oh here I'll put you by my bed. Please excuse the mess I keep telling them to clean up but they won't listen and why am I explaining this all to an owl?"
'And you think I know the answer?'
"Oh well. You probably want to hear about this girl you're named after?"
'No i don't'
"Well she's in my year and is at the top of every class. As you can tell she is really smart. She has long red hair. She's actully the only girl I've ever seen with that color hair in my life. She doesn't seem to know how amazing she is. She always seems to out to prove she's the best or that she can do anything. It can get pretty annoying but i gotta love her driving sprit. And her eyes. Oh Merlin, her eyes are amazing! They're this startling green color, not much different then yours actully. Her eyes seem to hold all the answers to life yet they don't want to let anyone in and she..." He kinda juct let his sentence drift off after that.
'And... and what! You can't just leave it at and! My gawd, what is the matter with this world coming to. I actully care what James... i mean Potter thinks. Great not only am I an owl, but I've completly lost my mind as well.'
"You must be hungry. I'm not sure if they fed you but..."James said looking around the room for something to offer the bird. "I think I could find something or conjure up some mice for you."
'Please no i can't take the mice again!' Thought Lily as she shook her feathered head.
"What? Don't like mice?" Asked James after noticeing Lily's strange reaction to the comment."Well you're one strange Bird, I'll give you that. But what am i suppose to feed you then?"
'Um how about something that doesn't involve the food to actully be alive when you give it to them.'
"Um, how about I let you out so you can look around the room, so long as you don't try to escape out the window or the door. You okay with that?"
'Okay, fine.' Lily thought while shacking her head in agreement.
"Good, now out you come." Said James, while opening up the cage door.
Lily hopped out and begain to look around the room with a bit of distane. 'The least they could do was pick they're underwear and socks' she thought while eyeing the red pair with the brooms flying around them that were lying right beside her feet-claws. the room looked alot like hers except a lot more dirty. 'Bloody-hell I used to have the same poster in my room. Wait that is my poster. How the hell did he get that.' she thought as the faces of the Falmouth Falcons stared back at her.
"Hey I see you found my poster. Yeah tell no one about this 'couse if people learned that I supported them, there would be hell to pay. It was actully Lily who first brought yhem to my attention. She actully threw the poster at me in a fit of rage after I said the day they win a match is the day I eat Sirius' underwear. Turns out that I was to have underwear de jour that night. Boy the look on her face when she came to rub it in my face. Even then I thought she was the most beautiful thing ever. Yeah so if anyone ask I'm strickly a Kenmare Kestrels fan." Said James as contiuned to look around the room for something to give the owl to eat.
'Wow that's kinda sweet. Wait, what am I thinging? Oh for the love of Merlin's wand, I am so bloodly doomed.'
