chapter 7- Transfiguration Today
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lily cursed her parents under her breath when she walked up the stairs, shaking her head.
* * *
James read his note over again. It only seemed better every time that he read it. They got back to the cat house and went home.
"JAMES POTTER!" Mr and Mrs Potter barked at the same time.
"Yes?" He said, grinning cheekily, reminding himself of Sirius.
"What the hell- er, What was that?! First we catch you in that young lady's room..." Mrs Potter cut off there. he heard his father mutter,
"Hormones..."
"And now you're going to play a trick on a muggle family that the Blacks and Lupins don't even know?! What kind of son have I raised????" Mrs Potter shrieked. James stood up and went to his room. He had already gotten the 'What kind of son are you' lecture 3 times this week.
* * *
Lily grinned as she got a letter from Remus Lupin. He had apologized for anything that James and Sirius would have done at the coming dinner party. She was starting to get over James... more towards Remus now. She put the note under her pillow and scolded herself for acting like a ditz and falling for another one of the marauders. She went over to her desk and wrote:
'Hullo Remus!
Thank you for the note, but really, I'm not a dunderhead. It's not exactly a secret that you're the brains of ther marauders. Snd so you know, in advance, you're a bunch of assholes for the prank you're gonna play.
Yours Truly,
Lily Evans'
She called for yuki and the owl came over to the desk, carrying a plush duck. It dropped the toy and snatched the letter with her claws.
"Take this to the Lupins, blue chimeny, remember?" She cooed to the tiny owl. It hooted happily and flew out the window. A few moments later, another owl fluttered into her room, but left as abruplty as it had come.
"Hogwarts!" She exclaimed, getting starry eyed. She snatched the grabbed the letter but looked at the calender first, it was far too early to be getting her letter! She sat on her bed and decided that she'd read it later.
* * *
Remus and Sirius both met up at a dim, dreary street.
"Yo! Moony! You seen Prongs around?"
"Nah, you?"
"Nope, wonder where he is... we were supposed to meet here, no?" But as soon as he finished, a handsome white stag trotted up to them and stood under the streetlight.
"Prongs!" Remus exclaimed. He transformed and grinned widely.
"Lo Prongs." Sirius said mysteriously.
"Something wrong Padfoot?" James said curiously.
"No, it's just a bit cliche, meeting in a dark street, shrouted in mystery..." Sirius said quietly.
"Cliche? I didn't know that was in your vocabulary, Padfoot!" Remus said harshly.
"Oh shut up you over-grown dog." Sirius mumbled.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're the dog." Remus said but was immediately cut off by James, who said,
"So, where are we going? Diagon Alley or Hogsmeade?" They all grinned at eachother and at the same time said,
"Hogsmeade." and they were on their way.
* * *
When they arrived at Hogsmeade, it was the dead of the night. Peter waved to them.
"Wormtail!" They all shouted at the same time. He grinned and opened the door to Zonko's.
"I got a part-time job here at Zonko's! This is the busiest hour so you best hurry and get inside!" he squeeked happily. Unfortunaely, he was right and the store was packed with witches and wizards. The only things they had left was "Change your enemie's accent" "fake trivia book" and "the talking map- give your enemies a fright!" They knew from experience that no one would touch those.
"I'm sure that we have some stuff in the back, I'll give you a discout, but my manager would get angry if I gave it to you for free, but he'd notice the missing merchandise..." Peter whispered evily to his friends. They went down to the cellar and Peter had been truthfull, the cellar was filled with every product imaginable. All three of their faces cracked into evil grins. They stuffed their bags until they were sure that they would rip at the seams.
"It's one in the morning, so I've still got 6 hours of work left, I'll see you all later!" He squeeked.
"So long Wormtail! And thanks again!" Sirius chirped, positively jumping for joy. When they were a while away Sirius whispered,
"Wow, having a rat for a friend can pay off... would have never guessed..." James and Remus laughed silently.
* * *
Lily opened the letter and read through it. Nothing apart from the norm... but as soon as she had thought that a peice of paper fluttered onto the ground. She picked it up and read it. She muttered something that sounded like "Why me...?" and stood up, pacing the room in thought.
"Well, I'd best start packing now..." She said to herself. She went around her room picking out her clothes. She took all of her robes from her closet and stuffed some muggle clothes in there too. She put her wand on her pillow, they'd be leaving for Diagon Alley soon, she ran downstairs and told her parents that they had to go to Diagon Alley as soon as possible. They agreed when she told them and they were on their way to London in no time, Lily grinning like a cat in the frontseat. She tapped the three bricks and went into Diagon Alley and headed off to Gringotts by herself.
"Mum! Dad! I'll see you back in the Leaky Cauldron later! Okay!" She shouted. When in Gringotts she met up with Remus and they shopped together. When they were having ice cream on a street corner they started to talk.
"So how are the other Marauders?" Lily asked with fake happiness in her voice. She really didn't give a rat's ass if one of them was in the hospital on his deathbed.
"Oh, they're all very good, Peter's got a job in Hogsmeade and James and Sirius are both working as bartenders in the Leaky Cauldron, although ever since they got their letter they've been skipping work." Remus said lightly.
"So they're getting themselves fired, are they?" Lily questioned evily.
"Well that's a rather harsh way of putting it, but yes, I would say that they're getting themseves fired..." Remus said with fake hurt in his voice.
"Hehe... er, Remus, are you... uhm, a..." she lowered her voice.
"Lily, am I what?" he asked.
"a... a werewolf?" She said, her voice under her breath.
Remus stood up suddenly. "WH-WHAT?!" He screamed. The whole street went silent and stared at Remus.
"Remus, stop making a scene!" Lily yelled standing up. "It's just that, all the evidence points up to that conclusion!"
"W-Well you- you..." He stammered, blushing. Was it that obvious? He stormed off.
"Lupin! You're only proving my theory! You never said I was wrong, did you?" She said slyly. He just walked away. She ran after him.
"I'm not going to tell anyone if you are, it's just that I'm not going to get anything out of Potter and Black, and I'm sure that they know." Lily said quietly when she had caught up to him.
"Your ice cream is melting." He said, pointing to her hand that was covered in pink goop. She took out a napkin and wiped her hand.
"You're changing the subject, now just tell me!" She said quietly.
"Fine, I am. But I'm not telling you any more." He said, glaring into her eyes.
"Thank you, that was all that I wanted to know." She said thankfully.
"Evans?" Remus asked.
"Yeah? What is it Lupin?" Lily said, raising her eyebrows.
"You're too smart for your own good." He said, smiling.
"And you're a very good actor." She said, grinning. "If I was a bit stupider I would have never guessed what you are, but it is a bit weird that every full moon you were out and that every morning after, you would be in the hospital wing with bite marks all over your arm." She said cleverly.
"Oh no..." Remus said dejectedly.
"Hm? What is it?" Lily said curiously.
"I still have to go shopping, and well, I don't really enjoy it much..." He said as though it was very obvious.
"Oh? So do I, we could go together." Lily said.
"Alright. Do you have your list with you?" Remus said, peering at Lily's hand.
"Yeah, right here." She said, extending the list in her hand. He took it and her heart leaped when her hand touched his. She flet her face go red but the feeling passed as soon as it had come.He looked at her quizzically.
"Something wrong Evans?"
"No, nothing." She said, she was acting so dumb. He looked at her list and compared it with his.
"Okay, our first stop is..." He pointed to his list and then looked at Lily's list. He looked up. "You good in robes?"
"What?" She said uncomfortably.
"Do you need new robes?" He said
"Oh? No. I'm good." She said, easing up a bit.
"Me too, that means that we'll go to Flourish and Blotts." So they were on their way. Remus baught a copy of Transfiguration Today and was reading snippets of it out loud like Professor McGonnagall. Lily laughed merrily and Remus grinned. There was one thing that old marrried couples were looking at them and smiling, saying things like "Aww, isn't that sweet?" and 'Remember when you were courting me?" Lily would squirm uncomfortably when they would say this, but Remus didn't seem to notice, he was busy pointing out where the marauders had played pranks on people and recalled the good times they had had. Lily laughed quite forcedly and when they got to flourish and blotts they sat down at a table outside in the warm sunlight and compared lists.
"Alright, we both need Transifuration- 16, that's bound to be in there. But I've never seen Mastering Psycics in there, even int the Divination section of the books..." Remus commented, furrowing his brow.
"Probably a new book, we're bound to be the first ones to buy them, seeing as we've come about a month early!" Lily said gleefully.
"And the usual books,Potions-16+, The Standard Book of Spells- Grade 6, A History of Magic- The 6th installment..." He said, skimming the list.
"You take Muggle Studies?" Lily said, reading over his shoulder.
"Yeah, although I don't reckon that I'll ever use it, seeing as I don't plan to ever leave that Wizarding world... and I only know about 2 muggles and that's Peter's parents."
"Peter is a muggle-born?" Lily said.
"Yeah, you care?"
"No, I just didn't know, that's why the Slytherins hate you guys so much? You are frends with a muggle-born?"
"That's one reason, they've got tons of others." Remus said. "But it's mostly just Snape's envy of James."
"James? Why's he jealous of James?" She asked innocently.
"Let's go inside now." He said, changing the subject. Remus made his way to the door, Lily staring after him quizzically.
"Strange." She muttered, walking in behind him.
When they had bought their books they headed to Gringotts to take out money for lunch. They made their way to a resturaunt that was very popular with Hogwarts students, The Secret Keeper.
"Quite an interesting name... " Lily noted. "It sounds like the Fidelius Charm..."
" That's the rumour, people say that when the Goblins in Gringotts rebeled, they had used the Fidelius Charm to save this entire part of Diagon Alley. They were so greatful to the secret Keeper that they named a restraunt after him, an interesting thank you gift, but I don't know, it pays off if you're hungry..."
"Oh? Who was the Secret Keeper?" Lily asked.
"Well, who's still alive that's old enough to be the secret keeper? I thought that it would be obvious,that someone as clever as you would have guessed..."
"Just quit the insults and tell me!" Lily said with mock anger. He gave her a blank look.
"Fine, it was... no, I don't think that I'll tell you." He grinned. It was her turn to give him a blank look.
"You're acting like Sirius." She said blankly.
"What a nightmare." He said back. The waiter brought them their food. Remus ate his lasagna quietly and Lily sipped her water without talking. Lily looked up at Remus.
"You done reading Transfiguration Today?" Lily asked.
"Yep, you wanna read it?"
"Yeah, I don't usually get to read wizarding newspapers, seeing as I'm of muggle descent." Lily said.
"Really? I wouldn't have thought so, you're a lot more clever than the other muggle borns, not to say that all muggle borns are a bunch of dunderheads, but you comprehend things that even somepure bloods don't. Take Snape and Malfoy for instance, they're both purebloods and you've got twice the brain capacity as them combined." Remus said pleasently.He could make insulting Slytherins into an compliment. Lily's mother ran up to her.
"Lily-darling! It's time to go!" She said, panting. "And why did you have to choose the hardest place to find?" She finally noticed Remus.
"Hullo Mrs Evans, I'm Remus Lupin, from Lily's school!" He smiled and said. Mrs Evans seemed taken aback.
"L-Lupin?" She stammered. Lily paled. She whispered to Remus,
"My mum thinks that the Lupins are a muggle family! And that The Potters and Blacks are muggles too!"
"Lupin? No, I'm Remus Rupin." He said quickly. Lily snickered. ("Nice cover-up." she thought)
"Oh, I thought that you said Lupin! That's a name of a m-moogle... is that right?"
"Muggle, mum."
"A m-muggle family that we know!" She said laughing. "Well, it's a pleasure to meet you Remus, but we must be going. Alright?"
"Just a second, could I ask Lily something?" He asked.
"Oh course, I hear from her Transfiguration teacher that she's a genious when it comes to Transfiguration!" She said smiling.
Remus pulled her away and whispered something in her ear. She blushed very visibly.
"Erm, okay Remus. I really have to go. I'll talk to you later, owl me!" She said running to her mother. While they were walking away her mother said,
"What did he want to know?"
"Oh, he had a question about the essay in Divination." She lied.
"Oh, did you help him?"
"I think so..." She said, tapping the bricks and walking through the path. 'But I'm not sure."
