Chapter 7: Time for Drama
We- that is, James, Al, Rose, Hugo, and I were in the Room of Requirement one weekend.
"I'm bored!" Hugo said, slumping against the chair.
Rose rolled her eyes.
"This is the Room of Requirement, Hugo. Wish for a interesting book to read," she suggested.
"Only Rose would suggest reading as a form of entertainment," Albus snorted.
"Al, you're supposed to be smart, " Rose retaliated.
"Well, I don't exactly share your interest in reading every moldy book on Planet Z," Albus said.
"Stop trying to be funny, Pads."
"Stop nagging, you two. Besides, I've got a much more interesting form of 'Entertainment," James said, producing a small, wooden box.
"What's the vanilla ice cream scoop then, James?" Albus asked.
"Ha ha ha, Padfoot. The 'vanilla ice cream scoop' is called 'Try To Open The Box,"James said.
Albus and Hugo tried everything, from tapping it with their wands to picking the lock with a needle, but the box remained shut. I finally picked up the box, which was probably just what James wanted. I tapped it gently with my wand, and writing appeared on it. One side said 'GG', another said 'BB', and three others said 'RR', 'HH', and 'SS'.
"What does the writing mean?" I asked.
Rose said, "They're the initials of the Founders, Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff, and Godric Gryffindor."
"But what about the 'BB'?" Hugo asked.
"Sentences don't start with 'but', Hugo," Rose said, rolling her eyes, "Some people say that there is a Fifth Founder."
Rose didn't say anything else, because the box was_glowing? Somehow that made no sense. And also surprisingly, the box opened up. The whole interior was glowing with a intense ball of white-blue-green-violet light.
"Whoa," Hugo said.
The ball began to speak, and with each word, my head throbbed.
"Come to Godric's Hollow, and I shall tell you all. Come to me. Come to Godric's Hollow, and I shall..."
The lid dropped shut of its own accord.
"Cool," James grinned.
Two days later, I was walking past Teddy's office. I stopped outside, because I could hear muffled noises coming from the office. James and Teddy were talking.
"Don't push the relationship... Just give her some room... Yeah, she's..."
I pushed the door open.
"Uh..."
"Were you eavesdropping?" Teddy asked, looking very Professor Lupin.
"Um, yeah, I was. By way, can I interrogate you for a sec?" I asked.
"Sure. Fire ahead."
"Tell me about Godric's Hollow."
"You should asks Professor Bin-"
"Professor Binns will tell me the dry facts. I want the legends."
Teddy started talking, and I drifted off until I heard him say 'Bianca Bien'.
"Bianca Bien? Who's she?" I asked.
"Bianca Bien was an orphaned child found by the Gryffindors. She was brought up as Godric's sister and was said to be the fabled Fifth Founder-"
"Thanks, Teddy," I yelled, "Got to go!"
I made a bee line for the Headmistress's office.
"Lemon drop? Ice cream?Snow cones? Ice Lolly?" I guessed. The stone gargoyles stepped aside at 'Ice Lolly'. I stepped into the office, and dearly hoped Professor McGonagall wasn't there. She wasn't, so I picked up the Sorting Hat and put it on my head.
"Why, hello, Lily Potter!"
"Hi! Can I ask you a question?"
"If it's about which House you-"
"IS THE LEGEND OF BIANCA BIEN A MYTH?"
"No. Gryffindor was for the brave, Ravenclaw the clever, Hufflepuff the loyal, Slytherin for the cunning, and though I'd like to forget it, Bien for the-"
"Thank you!"
I whipped the Hat off my head and raced to the elevator. I had a plan.
"Lily Luna Potter, are you nuts?"
James was facing me, arms crossed.
"No! I'm not!"
"I'm not letting you go on a suicide mission!"
"Who said I was going to stab myself?"
"Oi! Stop being stupid!"
"Leave me alone!"
"Go away!"
I faced him.
"FINE! I WILL!"
I thought of dramatically stomping out of the room and slamming the door, but that would be childish. Instead, I walked over to the door and closed it quietly.
"James, what in the name of Merlin's G-Strings is this for?"
James was holding a small box wrapped up in gold paper. I opened it to reveal a Broom Care and Cleaning Kit.
"This is an apology present."
"Thanks."
"Anyway, that was a good idea. O.K. Lils, when do we bust outta here?"
I grinned.
Time for Drama! Now we start the adventures of Lily Potter! Here are a few important notes:
•Lily is in FOURTH YEAR, Albus is in SIXTH YEAR, I moved them a year up.
•Lily's middle name is Luna, not Petunia, thank you RoseQuartz1 for pointing that out.
•You may be confused about people calling Albus 'Pads'. In MY Harry Potter Universe, Albus is a Dog Animagus.
Rock on!
