Chapter 8
Saturday 10:00: Quidditch stands
Okay, so before the match I managed to have a very brief chat with Matt, and end things… yes it is true I am a coward why I am in Gryffindor is a mystery! I thought if I did it before the match in a public place with Lottie and Katie near by he wouldn't have a chance to shout and get mad… I was wrong!
I ended up being dragged into the nearest broom closest where I was verbally abused; he went on and on about how he risked so much for me his reputation, the respect of his peers and if his family had found out! He did all this whilst somehow managing not to shout and shower me in spit at the same time. It was impressive! So now I am sitting in the stands watching Potter parade about on his broomstick along with the rest of the Gryffindor team feeling awful, guilty and desperately wanting to have a shower whilst freezing my arse off.
To make matters worse if I was expecting to get any sympathy I was very badly wrong! Katie was so relieved I'd actually ended things she hasn't been able to stop grinning, and Lottie was walking around with an annoying 'I told u so' smirk on her face. I say was because whilst watching the game she has recently discovered the new Ravenclaw beater. Archie Audley is a seventh year, and has always for some reason or another been noticed by Lottie, however as we don't really socialize with that year we have only just found out his name and it has taken Lottie by surprise. Before he was just a 'pretty inanimate object' now he has a name…
Huh? Oh the games over, Gryffindor won… was a close match though Ravenclaw have gotten really good! And on that bright note I now have to go and have my shrink session! Yippee!
Great hall Supper:
Well that was fun! I have been psychoanalyzed by a frisky little goblin which it appears has now got a crush on me… It's just great, if I don't attract the wankers I attract the weird magical creatures.
Bloody typical!
You may well laugh but you weren't their and you didn't have to be walked back by something that doesn't even come up to your navel insisting that you, 'have to hold its hand for your own mental gratification'. I've never seen Lottie laugh so much, she had to see the shrink after me and was on her way out when she saw me…
'Smyth' as he asked me to call him, insisted on me introducing him to my friend, when he found out Lottie was his next patient he went bright red and muttered something about it being standard procedure, to which Lottie just doubled over with laughter. When she had finally recovered the slimy little git tried to hold her hand. Lottie
Whose reflexes and superior wit have always been better than mine…
Oh go away I am perfectly capable of writing this myself without your embellishments!
True but my little embellishments are what make it worth reading! :D ha!
Moving on her response had been to quickly slap him (almost to the other side of the corridor, that girl doesn't know her own strength) after he'd attempted to hold her hand and stated that he should
'keep his smarmy little hand to himself as trying it on with Lily's best mate would most likely spoil his chances.' what made me laugh the most though was the fact that he then turned around and asked if I really thought he stood a chance!
Great so to sum up my day so far: I have been humiliatingly carried down to breakfast by Potter, who has read my diary and poked his nose into things that weren't any of his business. I have broken up with a possessive boyfriend and am now single only to be pursued by a goblin with nails much longer than any living creature should have. If that wasn't bad enough to top it all off said goblin is being encouraged and being given advise by my best friend, I hope u feel guilty!
Herm what? Oh not at all!
Argh!
When did Potter read your diary?
Have I not told you about this? Oh well basically… and that's when we woke up to be tormented and chased around the common room. Were you even listening? Or are you too busy staring at your 'pretty inanimate object?
I am not staring! Its not my fault he's decided to sit directly in my line of sight is it?
nope but if you carry on to stare like that he will notice, as will the rest of the great hall.
If looks could kill
Then you would be dead many times over!
Ha! Where's Katie?
Shrink, she went in after me. He is pretty though... you have to admit!
I don't know he looks a bit like a mouse to me…
How does he look like a mouse?
Well he's got a rather pointed nose, and his jaw line isn't that strong… to be fair I think it's the long hair that's really dose it
It's not that long it is above his shoulders!
Just face it… it is long!
What's long?
Yay your back! Audley's hair, Lily says he look like a mouse…
He does look a bit like a mouse, don't look at me like that I've already told you, you have good taste…
Ha!
Anyway, Lily what did you say to that goblin? He wouldn't shut up about you!
Oh god!
Hahahahaha…
Was that really necessary?
Laughing like that? Of course it was necessary she could have done herself an injury! And besides you can never over estimate the use of a silencing charm! :D
Whatever tell me about Smyth?
There is nothing to tell! I didn't do anything; he's just taken a fancy to me, which has been encouraged by that silent hyena over there! How did your session go?
Fine! Barely touched on anything remotely to do with the fight it consisted mainly of talking about you! How was Lottie's?
I don't know… er wait a second
Thank you for that! mine was fine we talked about the fight a little bit, and he told me a should apologize to Black for hitting him and turning him gay, apparently it will be good for my self esteem, how I'm not sure.
Right my loved ones I have to go and do prefect rounds… but on the Brightside, we won the Quidditch match which means they'll be a party to look forward to when I get back!
Prefect rounds…
Most prefects hate prefect rounds, but personally I don't mind them. The portraits are always very talkative and you'd be amazed about some of the things you can find out!
For instance did you know that Archie Audley is apparently the Ravenclaw version of the Marauders? Yep according to a portrait outside the Ravenclaw common room of a renowned dragon slayer; he comes from an old wizarding family and has just recently broken up with his girlfriend from Hufflepuff. This has apparently caused a great deal of excitement and not a single Ravenclaw girl will shut up about it, the poor portrait is at its wits end! Something to tease Lottie about though…
On a more serious note however the portrait also told me that darling little Olivia is apparently harboring some seriously undesirable ideals. This worries me a great deal. Olivia's has always been loopy but her behavior of late has been scary! And she has been hanging around with the Slytherins much more…
Ouch, oops… oh shit!
Guess who I have just bumped (literally) into? Its very cliché… you know sometimes I think god created man simply to make him laugh, I bet you he is constantly in hysterics.
'Sorry!' smile? What else do I say? After all it's not like I know Audley or any of his friends and I am doing prefect rounds, I have a right to be here… what are they doing out of house at this time anyway?
'It's ok, are you having a nice chat with Boris?' Audley looks very amused; I wonder how much of the conversation he heard?
'Well, Prefect rounds are boring, and Boris is entertaining'
'Why t'ank you Love your very entertainin' too, not everyday I get to talk to such a beautiful lass as y'urself' I don't believe it, a portrait has made me blush!
'You're a Gryffindor prefect right? Sixth year?'
'Er yes…'
'So you're waiting around to gloat or is the Ravenclaw common room out of bounds?'
'No, no' oh crap! Thank god he's laughing
'I'm only joking, anyway we would quiet like to get in… if you would er' he's making a gesture for me to move on, of course they can hardly get in when I'm there to hear the password!
'Yeh no worries' and move away slowly
'Was that Evans?' why is Audley asking about me?
'Yeh'
'I can see what Potter means!' What Potter means? What does that mean? Sigh, well I guess it is Official god is pissing himself!
Merlin's beard I'm tired not to mention confused, why would Potter talk about me? I didn't even know Potter and Audley were friends. Although… they both come from very old families both of which are very influential and speak out against Voldemort. I guess it would be odd if they didn't, not to mention they are in the same year, ah this is making my head hurt.
'Good evening Basil, any hormonal couples up there tonight?' Basil is a monk who was very influential to the progress of astronomy. Absolutely barking mad though!
'Good evening Lily, yes and no' what? Oh please don't tell me I have to break up a make out session! Wait what does he mean no?
'What do you mean yes and no?'
'Well you see I've often observed that hormonal teenagers are like wolves...' right. Okay, like I said barking!
'Really?'
'Yes in the sense that they normally travel together like a pack, but they went up there separately which makes me think they're not hormonal, I think they're studying.' well I guess there is a certain logic to his madness.
'Right well I better go and check anyway, thank you Basil.' please be working please be working! I don't want to have to break up a hormonal couple, with all the giggling and sneaking glances at each other the whole time, it make you feel very awkward… wait a second I know that voice…
Oh god how did I forget? Bellatrix and Snape's little rendez vous! I wonder if I can sneak under one of the desks… with my natural grace, and I use that term loosely, it would be a miracle if I don't make some kind of noise… ah well I guess miracles can happen. Right so what are they going on about.
'The Dark Lord has a great interest in you darling, he's heard wonderful things, and once he takes an interest in you he can be very difficult to avoid.'
Oh god
'I am flattered that someone as powerful as the dark lord should find me of interest...'
'As you should be!' She looks like a religious zealot, the way she's speaking, she has to be psychotic! 'After all you are only a half-blood, you should be honored he even knows your name!'
'Like I said I am honored and I, I agree, to an extent, with the Dark Lords cause, but I, I would just like some more time...'
'Well pet I'm afraid your time has run out, you have week to give your answer.' She's leaving thank god! I've never seen Bellatrix look so unhinged before, I mean yes she's always been bonkers but she looked possessed! 'And remember love, the Dark Lord doesn't take kindly to rejection.'
Very Dramatic! Oh Poor Snape! Although to be fair he doesn't exactly look like he's been hit in the stomach with a sledge hammer! He's just been told to join Voldemort or die; I would be crying with despair… mind you it must be tough for him. He's been picked on by the Marauders and everyone else since he came here, and then to be put in Slytherin with all their pure blooded mania can't have been easy seeing as he's a half blood. He's been rejected by those on the outside and inside; and now the one those on the outside fear and on the inside look up to has taken an interest in him. A half blood. I guess it's not really surprising he looks almost triumphant he finally has a chance to fit in, he has the last laugh. I have to wonder how much he agrees with Voldemort's cause though… after all he could simply see it as he has no choice, the other side don't want him have scorned him, under Voldemort he has a chance to gain revenge.
Oh how depressing! Finally he's left herm… I need to talk to the others, or should I go to Dumbledore straight away? No I should go and find the others.
Gryffindor tower:
Right well I am so tired, Black had spiked the punch with firewhisky! The result being I am now not only drunk but the alcohol has made me sleepy! I need to find the others but it is so packed in here! And I really wish people would stop offering me drinks! Great I think that's Lottie and Alice by the window.
'Hi Lils you ok?' Lottie's sober? Oh no she's not good!
'I need to talk to you, all of us now in dorm!'
'Ok!' Alice is a little too eager is seems
'Why are you so eager?' I have to know
'I've been trying to persuade her that she should go and find Frank, he's drunk enough not to remember if she makes a fool of herself'
'Lottie does have a point!'
'But you said you had something really important to talk to us about that couldn't wait! And what kind of friends would we I be if I went off to find frank now?' touché well played!
'Ok good point. Where's Katie?'
'I don't know… wait I think I see her over their, you sure this can't wait?'
'Yes! Oh there she is talking to Lupin…' wow looks like an intense conversation, 'lets go and rescue her.'
'Erm Lils, I don't think she needs rescuing'
'What do you mean? Of course she does!'
'Look at her face! Whatever they're talking about is important she obviously doesn't want to be interrupted.'
'Erm guys I'll meet you in dorm' great the arrival of frank means the disappearance of Alice. And Lottie, Lottie is now in a heated Quidditch debate with Black, Hunter and Jones. Oh sod it, I'll tell them tomorrow because right now I am going to go to sleep.
I tried to tell the others about what I over heard but by the time I found them, I'd been offered about 6 shots and 4 glasses of punch and couldn't quite manage to get the words out. Not to mention they were in no state to hear it, the music was too loud to have a conversation about something as important as that anyway!
Oh and I did something very, very, very wrong! Well technically I didn't do it, it was done to me but we'll get to that later. I finally found Lottie who was Surprisingly sober, well basically sober she was having a very civilized conversation with Alice who was well a little worse for wear, Lottie was trying to persuade her that finding Frank would be a good idea, she's such a little stirrer now I think about it! Anyway I managed to convey that I had a number of things that were very important to talk to them about.
Alice I might add seemed very relieved about that. So we went in search of Katie, who was cornered by Lupin of all people, who seemed to be talking to her in earnest. Well we like the good friends we are went over to rescue her when we got a very clear signal telling us not to.
Gryffindor tower: Girls dorm
Oh my head hurts! I am so tired, and I oh no I did not! No, no I defiantly didn't that has to be a dream, a rather disturbing dream but a dream all the same because I fell asleep on one of the sofa's… Oh Merlin's beard!
I think this is what happened at any rate. I woke up and decided to go in search of the girls' staircase after failing several times to locate the girls' staircase I sat down on a couch where I was surprisingly joined by Potter not long afterwards. I didn't think much of this, to begin with I mean nearly everyone had left by then but the Marauders are usually the last to leave. He seemed to be apologizing for his behavior and asking me about matt and when I was going to break up with him, and find someone more suitable.
I was very gracious and accepted his apology and explained that I had broken up and already found someone more suitable, a goblin called Smyth. But then he didn't leave. Now that made me uncomfortable so I decided to leave and see if I could locate the girls' staircase again. Unfortunately in my attempt to get up I fell down on Potters lap. Now I decided to ignore the fact that at that point we were very close and he was looking at me very oddly and logically I came to the conclusion that Potter is in fact more sober than me, so I asked him if he knew where the girl's staircase was and could he please take me there… the next thing I knew, we were kissing. I remember thinking this was a bad idea and I should stop, but the more logical part of my brain decided to speak up and told me that he had kissed me and seeing as he is a lot bigger and stronger than me there might not be that much I can do about it.
You know sometimes I hate myself! Oh Crap!
Lottie has just opened the curtains and pulled the covers off!
What did you do that for?
Good morning Lilykins! And how are we feeling today? A little worse for wear perhaps?
Yes, why are you grinning? What have I done? Oh no I think I know where this is going!
You kissed Potter! Or can you not remember?
I did not!
Well you did! Now what happened?
You know all of this can be blamed on you too!
Really, how?
Well leaving me by myself is stupid to do at the best of times, not to mention when I'm drunk and dopey!
Well would you like to be filled in?
No!
Well I'm afraid I was down there, mulling something over, when it happened, so If you don't want to tell us I can tell you my version…
That really won't be necessary! Look all that happened was he kissed me and I was too drunk to do anything about it. Lottie don't look so skeptical it's the truth!
Well that fits, with what I saw.
Herm.
What were you mulling over anyway?
I… I can't tell you.
Why?
It's not my secret to tell! I'm sorry but its not I just… figured something out.
Has this got anything to do with what you and Lupin were talking about last night? Because that seemed pretty intense!
I can't say, seriously I can't give you any clues!
Oh Merlin's beard I almost forgot! Whilst we're on the topic of secrets you won't believe what I over heard in the astronomy tower during my rounds, this is what I was trying to tell you last night…
A/N:
Hey, well I'm back for a little bit! I know I haven't updated in about 4 years but I randomly checked my reviews yesterday and couldn't believe someone had reviewed this year! So I decided to give it another go seeing as I'm on holiday at the moment. Now I don't have a beta anymore, so spelling, punctuation and grammar don't exist and I haven't written it for years, so it may not be what you're expecting! But let me know what you think!
And remember to REVIEW
Thanks SP
