PRIVATE Diaries

Dear Reader,

Voldemort tried and failed to accomplish so much during the height of his power. He had an army of purebloods, but his ideals were not supported by so many more. The Potters, Denays, Silvers, and Hartstons were just a few of many so-called "blood-traitors" who refused his ridiculousness. And thus, we were able to believe in life, love, and happiness. We didn't think it was possible for him to hurt us, to break us apart, but he sure as hell won that battle.


Author's Note: I do not own anything, obviously. Well I own Charly, Annie, and Natty. But that's it! Oh and I put up some pictures of how I imagined Lily, Annie, Natty, and Charly! It's on my profile! Take a look!

Hello all! Obviously, this is a revised version of the LANC Witch Diaries, but please read it from the beginning, there are a lot of changes made in both character and plot! Besides, it shouldn't be too bad, usually I tend to forget stuff from the beginning, and it's been almost two years now so…please start from Chapter 1!


Thank you CrazyGinger414 and Ameliaaaaaaaaaa for following the story!

CrazyGinger414: I love them both too! But I'm sorry, you won't be getting any Lily/James any time soon…because well she's supposed to hate him until 7th Year! But their fights are still cute you know?

Anywho! Onward!


Lily

"Let's go outside guys!" Natty called. "I feel like we've been cooped up here all week thanks to stupid homework."

"That's true, besides Charly hasn't left the castle since she got back from the Hospital Wing last week." Annie replied.

I looked around. "Where is she?"

"She's taking a nap. But I think we can wake her up now." Annie ran up the stairs. A few minutes later she came back yawning.

"Where's Jamie? I have to talk to him." She asked. I haven't been able to look her in the eye these past few days. She probably wants to talk to Potter about her secret. Ugh, why won't she just tell us about it?

"I'm here! I say we go outside too." Potter suggested. "You've been stuck in here way too long." His posse followed him downstairs.

Sirius and I shared a look. After eavesdropping on their conversation, it was impossible for me to hate him. He seemed so concerned and worried about Charly, it was touching to watch.

"Hey, let's swim guys!" Natty exclaimed.

"Last ones there have to do a dare!" Remus called, dragging Sirius and Peter back to the dorms.

"No fair! All you have to do is put on some shorts!" Annie raced back up the stairs. She has always been competitive. Natty and I chased after her; the boys' dares were scary.


Of course we lost, it was inevitable.

"We wouldn't have been this late if it weren't for a certain someone getting hit on!" I whined, flopping on the grass. Stupid boys and their hormones.

"I swear Annie's more popular with the boys than Sirius is with the ladies." Natty teased.

"Hey! I object that!" he cried.

"Alright, well here's your dare. You have to ask every girl and boy over 3rd year if they think either Sirius or Annie is hot." Remus suggested.

"That's going to take forever!" I complained. This so has nothing to do with me.

"Oh look, Jamie and Charly are here." Natty exclaimed.

"I don't understand. Why do Charly and Potter always talk alone? Without you two?" I asked. I wanted to know why Charly hadn't told any of us, not even Annie and Natty. We heard Charly and Jamie roaring with laughter from across the lake.

"Well Jamie and Charly –" Natty started.

"– are best friends –" Annie interrupted.

"– better friends than they are with us." Natty smiled.

"It's kind of like –" Annie said.

"– Jamie and Sirius." Natty laughed. I've seen them do this a couple of times before. It's unbelievable.

"They are better friends with each other –" Annie began.

"– than they are with Remus and Peter." Natty finished. They both giggled. All of a sudden, we heard Charly cry. Sirius jumped out of the lake.

"NO!" Annie and Natty screeched.

"Do not ever –" Annie looked furious.

"– interrupt Jamie/Charly time." Natty continued.

"They get mad!" Annie warned. It's true, I've heard stories.

"I'm not exactly afraid of Charly getting mad." Sirius whined.

"Oh that's because –" Natty explained.

"– you haven't ever seen it." Annie interjected.

"Merlin, you remember right?" Natty asked.

"Remember what?" Remus asked.

"The last time she was angry –" Annie began.

"– her eyes –" Natty interrupted.

"– were like ice." Annie cried.

"She was so –" Natty said.

"– scary!" They both exclaimed.

"You don't ever want to see her get mad." Natty exclaimed.

"It's always the quietest people who control their anger the most –" Annie started.

"– that explode the worst." Natty interrupted.

"And in Charly's case, it's better that you've never seen it happen." Annie cried. They were really good. I envy their history. I haven't had anyone to do that with before.

"How do you do that?" Remus asked.

"Well we've know each other –" Natty said.

"– for a very long time." Annie said.

"– it would be very –" Natty added.

"– pathetic if we didn't!" Annie finished.

"Anyways, do not interrupt Jamie/Charly time." Natty warned.

"They might tell us some stuff –" Annie said.

"– but they keep a few important things –" Natty added.

"– amongst themselves." Annie completed.

"Don't you guys feel left out?" I asked.

"Sometimes –" Natty began

"– it gets annoying." Annie continued

"But then we were able –" Natty added

"– to perfect this!" Annie exclaimed excitedly.

"Jamie and Charly can do it too!" Natty interjected.

Everyone looked over again. Charly was crying into Potter's shoulder.

"If Jamie weren't so in love with Lily –" Natty sighed.

"– and Charly weren't so in love with Mystery man –" Annie added. Wait, mystery man?

"– we would definitely try to get them together." Natty suggested.

"Wait! Wait! We know who she likes. It's obviously Darien Vance." I was so confused! She's liked Darien since 4th Year.

"I don't think so! She's just so mean to him. She doesn't treat him any more special than other guys. I feel like he's a cover or something." Annie theorized as Sirius began to laugh. We looked at him like he was delusional.

"Charly's too mean to him?" he laughed again.

"What? What do you know?" Natty begged.

He paused for a moment, but obviously no one really expected him to know anything. He wasn't all that close to her. "Oh nothing, she's just like that with everyone."

"Besides, why are you so sure she likes someone else?" Remus asked. "Wouldn't she have told you guys?"

"Well, ever since she was in the hospital, Charly has only told Jamie about this major secret. I think she might like someone. That's what happened with Darien at first you know?" Annie said.

"Yeah, first she told Jamie. And then a few months later she told us." Natty remembered. "I mean, I'm sure she liked him at one point. I just don't think it lasted very long."

"You're right, it's just so like Charly. She loves the chase. And being chased of course." I giggled.

"He's probably in Ravenclaw." Annie thought aloud.

"Obviously. There's no other house she could choose from." I smiled at the boys.

"What's wrong with us?" Sirius was indignant.

"Well, Jamie's her best friend. Remus and Peter and still friends –" Natty was interrupted.

"Sirius is a man whore, Spinnet is an asshole, and Frank is so taken!" Annie continued. Remus gave me a pained look. As I turned to face Natty, I caught Sirius' eye. He looked like he had just been stabbed. Repeatedly.

"Of course! Apart from Amos Diggory, the Hufflepuff boys are just so not her type." Natty laughed.

"Charly has a type?" Sirius was flustered. "Amos is her type?"

"Yup, blonde hair, blue or green eyes. I think she'll even go for hazel. As long as he's got blonde hair." If Remus weren't so in love with Natty, he'd be perfect for her.

"How are you so sure it's not Vance again? I was so sure she liked him." Sirius grinned. He so knew something.

"Now that I think about it, I heard Emmeline reassuring poor Darien." I recalled. "Apparently, Charly rejected Darien at the dance."

"Wait! No, remember Lily? We saw her with Prongs. I'm sure that she ran after him." Remus reminded. Oh…I sometimes like to block out moments of Potter fury.

"Er…ye-yeah, right." I muttered.

Natasha

I heard the grass crunching and looked up. "Hey girlies, I know you think you are too gorgeous to get your hair wet, but I see Frank Longbottom walking by." Charly winked at me.

Ooh, I can try out my new bikini! It was this gorgeous blue and grey combination. I pulled off my shirt and showed off my perfect dive. When I resurfaced, Annie looked at me and nodded with a smile. He totally checked me out! Success!

"Alright, I wanna swim too." Annie cried, cannon bawling into the lake, receiving a hell of a lot of wolf whistles.


"So, Annie's birthday's coming up." Lily looked up. Annie was on one of her hook ups and wouldn't be back for at least another hour. We've tried stopping her. But reason and logic just don't appeal to a broken heart.

"Yup, her sixteenth. I don't see what's so important about it anyways? To Muggles?" I asked.

"Yeah, I mean it's the seventeenth that is so important after all right?" Charly had her nose hidden under a book.

"Well, for us Muggles, sixteen is the golden year before we come of age at eighteen. It's when we can start driving cars and actually get one." Lily explained.

"Come again?" Charly laughed.

"A sweet sixteen!" Lily exclaimed.

"Alright, I'm up for any reason to celebrate." I replied. "Let's do it in style."

"Like what? Fancy restaurant in Muggle London?" Charly suggested.

"That's actually a fantastic idea!" Lily sat up. "Let's do it!"

"How would we even begin to achieve that?" I asked. "Dumbledore would never give us permission. Her birthday is nowhere near the holidays."

"Well…McGonagall would do it if you asked Natty." Charly grinned at me. "She loves you almost as much as Jamie and Sirius."

"W– wait, before you –" Lily sprang in immediately.

"No worries, it'll be a girl's night out." Charly reassured her. "No boys. And no Jamie." Lily sighed a breath of relief. If only our friends actually liked each other.

"Girl's night out?" Sirius walked down the stairs with the rest of the boys. "That sounds sexy."

"Uh. Ew." Lily replied. "Girl's nights out are not like that!"

"Okay, define your girl's night out." Jamie asked. Charly and I exchanged a glance. Oh dear, he'll be pissed that he's missing this.

"Oh Jamie!" Charly used her sugary voice. "Would you come over here for just a sec?" I noticed Sirius' confused expression as he watched Charly. He clearly has never seen her in action.

"Why does that sound scary?" he replied nervously.

"Well, we were thinking about going to Muggle London for a dinner." Charly smiled sweetly. "For Annie's birthday."

"That sounds fantastic!" Jamie exclaimed.

"We can ask Minnie, she loves us." Sirius high fived him.

"Well there's the thing." I gave him a guilty smile.

"Oh no. No! No! No! Hell no!" Jamie was furious. Of course he was. "That's the girl's night out?"

"Merlin! You girls are cruel!" Sirius glared. Eh, he isn't even that close to Annie. What's his deal? "You guys plan this awesome birthday thing and then don't invite us? That's just messed up!" That sounds reasonable. Oops?

"It's because of her isn't it?" Jamie's face turned red.

"Oh Jamie…" Charly soothed.

"No, no, don't lie!" Jamie screamed. "You are a bitch, you know that?" he faced Lily, finally showing her his pent up anger. This is why it isn't healthy to bottle it up. But no, no one ever listens to me!

"JAMES CHARLUS POTTER!" Charly screeched.

"It's not enough to screw with my feelings, but you have to mess up my friendship with the girls too?" his voice was venomous.

Charly stood up and walked calmly to Jamie. I was so shocked that he would say such a thing.

"Boys are afraid to come anywhere near us. Girls glare at us for stealing your attention. You beat the crap out of anyone for even touching us. Lily is not the reason you aren't invited." Charly said quietly. Thank Merlin that's all, I would have thought she would kill him.

But she wasn't done. Just as I looked away, I heard a harsh slap. "Apologize to Lily. Right now." Everyone was quiet.

"Charly!" I gasped. Jamie glared at Lily as she stood up, wiped her tears and approached them.

"Don't worry Charly, it's nice to finally know how he really feels. He shouldn't apologize for stating the truth." Lily squeezed Charly's hand before running up the stairs.

Charly sank to the floor immediately. "Jamie…Oh Jamie, I didn't –" but he was already gone. Gone before he heard her sobs of regret or her stammering apologies.

Sirius raced forwards and pulled her into his arms immediately. "Shhh, it's going to be alright." He reassured her. "Everything's going to be alright."

That was quicker than some of my recent gaps right? So tell me what you think! Was James out of line? Was Charly justified? Will their friendship survive? Theorize! Review! Comments? Concerns? Constructive criticism? All is welcome!
