Chapter Eleven

If You Could Only See

Morning…

Sighing, Harry looked at his watch and noticed that it was five in the morning. Harry kept having nightmares as usual in these cases, which wasn't that great of a surprise for him. His scar was killing him and he really needed to get a potion from Madam Pomfrey, but what would he tell her? 'I need a potion for my scar that I got from a killing curse?' Yea right.

He knew it would be another two hours before anyone else would be getting up. He had no idea what to do to keep himself occupied in the meantime as he had already done Sirius' homework and some of Peter's, (which he did terribly on I might add) that had been assigned to them; but out of the goodness of Harry's heart, he did it for them so that Sirius was stop whining to him about it.

Harry didn't mind though, he had needed to keep busy in order to stop himself from focusing too much on what would happen once he left the Marauders, Lily, and even Severus for good… four more days he had left with them, just four more days.

In the end, Harry just decided to shower and get dressed. He went down the stairs of the boys dormitory finally deciding that he really did need a potion for his head seeing as the shower that he took didn't help, he was going to the hospital wing to see Madam Pomfrey even if it killed him which his scar seemed to be trying to do a great deal of anyway.

"Couldn't sleep, Aldrick?" The question came from behind him. Harry jumped before spinning around to face the person whom sneaked up behind him. It just so happened to be Lily that stood behind him, smiling sheepishly at the startled look on the young mans face.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." Lily said getting up from the couch which she had been lying on in front of the fireplace reading in the Gryffindor common room.

"No problem, I was just on my way to the hospital wing." Harry replied.

"Oh… are you okay? As matter of fact, you do look quite ill. Here let me show you the way, I don't think anybody has showed you the way to the hospital wing have they?" Lily asked him as they both went through the portrait door.

"Er… no I don't think so." Harry replied trying not to rune the moment where he could finally talk to his mother one on one.

"Well then, it's a good thing that I was up other wise you would have gotten yourself lost." Lily exclaimed giving Harry a smile that he returned back to her.

Later That Day w/ the Marauders…

Classes went by in a daze that day to James, his mind to preoccupied with the thought of the dance and the fun his friend's were going to have. He ignored Severus' remarks about how stupid his face looked, and kept a giddy smile on his face. The entire sixth year class was like James, the apprehension could be felt though the whole school. This was going to be fun; they all knew it too.

In History of Magic with Professor Binns the group of Marauders were sitting in the back of the classroom bored out of their minds except for Remus whom was still taking his exam. James was drawing snitches on his book cover while Peter was sleeping as slobber came out of his mouth onto the Marauders table.

Sirius though was in his own world as he stared admirably at an Asian sixth year Gryffindor girl named Rose. She was half vela and every boy at the school worshiped her except for James and Remus of course. She had long straight golden brown hair and natural aqua blue eyes.

Sirius and Rose were currently dating, but it was just out of popularity than real love for each other. Sirius didn't really know what he wanted to do with his life. He did know though, that he wanted to be an Auror after school along with James. Did he want a family life? Settling down with someone he loved? No, he couldn't see himself doing that, not yet anyway. He wanted more adventures, more fun, more excitement.

"Rose"


R eds and yellows, pink and white Bursting bright with color.


O verwhelming all in sight, never growing duller.


S cents that take the breath away, Permeate the air.


E nchanting all they meet each day, chasing every care.

"Wow, I didn't know that you were such a poet Paddy." James said looking over at Sirius' writing.

"Shut it Prongs, I'm just bored." Sirius said balling up his parchment.

"Hey, could you write a poem for me about Lily?" James asked him.

"Oh please Jamie, Lily would see right through that, she can tell your writing from a mile away." Sirius teased as James rolled his eyes.

"What are you trying to say Padfoot? That I can't write a poem about Lily? Is that what your saying to me?" James said arms crossed across his chest.

"I bet you 5 knuts that you won't be able to write an actual good poem about Lily by the end of this class." Sirius countered as Remus looked disapprovingly at them.

"Would you guys mind paying attention, this stuff just might be on our N.E.W.T's next year." Remus exclaimed as both Sirius and James rolled their eyes.

"No worries Remus, James will never be able to do it anyway, and besides, we can always use your notes any time." Sirius exclaimed as James glared at him along with Remus.

"That's it! Get your 5 knuts ready out for me Padfoot, this means war." James exclaimed as he got out his parchment and utensil while Remus scowled.

"You guys have another thing coming if you think your going to be using my notes, that includes Peter to." Remus snapped at them as he went back to his writing while Peter snored, James started writing his poem, and Sirius making paper planes to throw at students.

30 minutes later …

"Ha ha hahaha… oh man James, this is the most saddest thing I have ever read! Did you even try? Hahaha…" Sirius asked him as he tried to control himself with his laughter.

Remus was currently ignoring the marauders as they left out the classroom as the last bell rung of the day. They had exams to finish the next four days and the marauders acted like it wasn't a bid deal. It probably wasn't for them, but Remus himself wanted to do something worthwhile in his life, he just didn't know what.

"You're just jealous that you couldn't write this master piece like a natural like me could." James said defending himself as they headed outdoors to the nice sunny weather.

"Remmy, read this and tell me do you think this is even worth Lily's time to even consider reading." Sirius said hading the parchment to Remus while James scowled and Peter stretched and yawned as they finally came outside with the rest of their fellow pupils.

This is my poem to tell her that I love her MY LOVE, MY LILY.

I sit around and loom out my window thinking I'll see her their.

I wonder where she went and if she's thinking about me.

Just a glint of the past I just sigh and smile when I think of her I want her more then a friend But does she love me back?

Can't you all see I love this girl?

She's larger than life I seen the things she's been through I've always been there for her through heartbreaks and trouble.

My loves for her only will double but this feeling in my heart that I can't quit explain.

The throbbing pain in my heart that asks "Does she love me like I love her?" I do not know the answer and I don't know if I want to but my heart is aching out to blow out I LOVE HER!

You are probably wondering who this great Beautiful girl is She's the thing I wish for Longing to hold in my arms My love for her is true And that girl, That girl IS YOU, MY LILY.

"Uhm… wow James, words just don't explain this. I don't know what to say, but good luck to you when Lily reads this." Remus replied handing it back to him trying to hold in his laughter.

"So, is it okay?" James asked a bit nervous.

"What, are you doubting yourself Jamesie?" Sirius teased as James pushed him as they came to the lake to sit while Peter went back to sleep on the warm grass.

"You still owe me 5 knuts Padfoot…I told you I could make a poem." James said with a smirk on his face.

"I said I would give it to you if you made a good poem. That there is pathetic." Sirius replied laughing.

"We'll just see when Lily comes and read it, then you'll see Padfoot." James said replied back as Remus rolled his eyes at his best friends' antics.

Talking w/ the Chariton twins…

"Sooo… come on Desiree, what kind of boyfriend do you actually want to have?" Alice asked her for the second time.

They were in the bathroom getting freshening up to go to hogsmeade to get a dress and some dress robes for the up coming ball.

"Why does it matter?" Desiree asked her as her twin sister Antonette rolled her eyes at her while Lily smiled at Antonette's antics.

Desiree's personality was like an innocent girl next door. She's friendly, cheerful, kind, and happy (when she wasn't moody). Desiree likes to spread her happiness around making people feel warm and joyous. She was pure and innocent and most likely hasn't broken many rules.

Antonette though was a totally different story. Antonette is at least as smart as Desiree, which was surprising seeing as she was the one in Ravenclaw. But she also happens to be socially clever and sane. She's probably the most well adjusted person in her family.

"Stop being a prat and tell us of your definition of a relationship you want to have with a boy." Antonette said as Desiree rolled her eyes and fixed her hair up.

"I guess I want a romance that isn't perfect but one that I wouldn't care if was perfect or not. I want a partner who is kind, shows me respect, and a person that I can trust to be there for me and to be supportive. In return I would do the same." Desiree replied shrugging her shoulders.

"Aww… that's so sweet. You know, I think I might find some guy like that for you." Lily said as Antonette smiled along with Alice in thought.

"Or is it that you have already found somebody like that, you just don't think he feels the same way?" Antonette asked her as Desiree ignored her.

"Get a life Antonette." Desiree replied as the rest of the girls smirked at her.

"Who is the lucky guy?" Alice asked her.

"Nobody." Desiree said leaving out the bathroom as the girls followed.

Hogsmeade…

It took the girls hours to finally find their dresses that they thought looked appealing to them. They went to Shi decorators. It was a new building and it had mainly fancy dress robes, muggle dresses, shoes etc. The Chariton twin's grandmother owned it and next door the Chariton's grandfather owned 'Dress Robes & Tuxes' for guys mainly. Thanks to that the girls got to have their dresses for free.

Dresses-

Alice: Yellow sparkling strapless beaded organza dress

Antonette: A beautiful fuchsia color. Mixed with half black & pink with flowers decorated around it.

Desiree: A sky blue Grecian style flounce evening dress in rich chiffon color with a diamond jeweled center brooch and beading throughout bodice.

Lily: Enchanting red gown with golden hue that had richly accented by an exquisite butterfly print with matching scarf.

The Marauders

"Would you guys stop fooling around, we need to buy some robes and tuxes for the summer ball." Remus said for the tenth time that day.

"Stop being a nag Moony, we're already here." James said pointing at the sign above them.

Harry looked at the store sign in front of them along with the rest of the Marauders. They were in front of 'Dress Robes & Tuxes'

"So... who are you going to this ball with Remus?" Harry asked him as they entered the shop.

"I don't know," Remus answered, shrugging his shoulders. "You?"

"Oh, you see, there are all those girls throwing themselves at young Blacknight here... he's still looking for a potion or something to multiply himself so none of them will feel rejected." Sirius exclaimed making the Marauders laugh.

"How nice of him." Remus replied.

"Always the gentleman," said James, smiling.

An Hour Later at Hogsmeade…

"Lily Evans!" James called, before the undulating wave of people could swallow her in the crowed of Hogsmeade. The girl spun around at the sound of her name and surveyed the crowd for the speaker.

"James!"

As soon as she spotted him, an ordinary-looking face in an eclectic assembly, she darted up and rather surprised him by catching him a brief hug.

"I thought I saw you at 'Dress Robes & Tuxes'!" she said, using her free hand to brush off the powder she had transferred from her dust-collecting top onto his immaculate cloak as the other girls finally caught up with Lily.

"Hey Evans guess what? James wrote you a poem." Sirius said sniggering.

"Oh James! How sweet of you, let me read it!" Lily said excitedly while James glared at Sirius.

"Yes, do let her read your wonderful poem Prongs." Sirius said smirking.

"How are you?" Remus asked Desiree, thinking she looked well and happy today despite her moody attitude towards him.

Desiree showed remarkably little fatigue after an afternoon of consumer toiling with the rest of her friends. Aside from the soft suffusion of hot color in her cheeks and the dusty state of her clothing, there was no outward evidence of exertion but a heavy armful of bags and parcels along with the rest of the girls.

"Great, and you?" Desiree replied smoothly.

"Well, thank you." Remus replied back as both Harry and Antonette smirked knowingly at each other at the two's behavior.

"So Aldrick, are you going to the ball?" Antonette asked him.

"Uh… yea, but just for a little while, I'll be leaving that night." Harry replied nervously hoping that Antonette wasn't trying to ask him out.

"Why don't we have a bite to eat? I'm famished." Alice exclaimed.

"I suppose this means that us guys are paying?" Sirius replied then covering his ears at the squeal Lily just made at James poem.

"Oh James, that is sooo sweet, thank you." Lily said kissing him.

"Lets get some ice cream before James and Lily ruin it for us," Sirius joked, starting off. The group walked directly to Florean Fortescue's for some ice cream.

Night Detention w/ The Marauders…

In the trophy room, James, Remus, Peter, and Sirius met a rather peeved looking Transfigure Professor.

"You're late," McGonagall replied.

"You're to polish the trophies by hand, no magic. Filch said to leave when we're done and if they're not clean when he inspects them tomorrow you'll get a week of detentions." McGonagall replied leaving the boys alone as they set to work polishing the Quidditch cup.

James glanced around the room and out of the door to check for McGonagall or Filch, seeing that they weren't there, he performed a quick spell to polish the trophies, and when he was satisfied they were all gleaming, he made his signal to the two boys that they were leaving.

"So Remus, are you still planning to ask that Ravenclaw girl Antonette out?" Sirius asked him as they walked through the corridors.

"I don't think so… I don't know really. I don't think she really has interest for me, but maybe of Harry instead." Remus replied back.

"Harry huh? I don't think so." Peter replied.

"Why?" Remus asked him.

"When were picking out our ice cream I heard them talking about the ball and if they had any dates. Antonette kept asking him a lot of questions about Snape." Peter exclaimed as they came to the Fat Lady portrait door.

"Ha, beauty and the beast." Sirius exclaimed smirking.

"I don't know; she could just be curious as to why he was hanging out with him." James replied as he gave the password to the Fat Lady. 'Pumpkin Pastries'

"We could ask Lily about it." Sirius suggested.

"It's not important." Remus replied shrugging it off.

"Well, if you don't get Antonette, you could always go out with Desiree. "James replied smirking as Remus rolled his eyes at him.

"Not a chance." Remus replied back as the four sat on the couch in front of the fireplace.

"Come on Remmy, you know you like her!" Sirius exclaimed smirking along with James.

"No I don't, she's very bossy." Remus commented.

"She reminds me of a certain Marauder here." Sirius exclaimed.

"Yeah, and he happens to be a Head boy and also happens to also have an bossy attitude to." James commented.

"I'm not asking her out and even if I did she wouldn't even consider it, she would reject me right away." Remus replied.

"Aw don't be like that Moony. She's just playing hard to get if you ask me, just like Lily did with me." James exclaimed as Remus shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm going to bed." Remus replied.

"Hey, wait for us!" Sirius replied heading up to their dormitory along with the rest of the Marauders not noticing absents of a certain boy.

Night in the Room of Requirements…

(A/N I didn't feel like going through the whole process, but you get the idea what's happening)

"You betrayed me that's why! You … you were just using me!" Severus shouted at Harry angrily.

"Severus, how the bloody hell was I suppose to get to you other wise? You hate Potters! What you really would have talked to me if I told you I was Harry Potter related to James Potter whom you hate with every inch of your body? Is that what you're saying Severus? Cause I would really like to know!" Harry shouted back at Severus just as mad at as he was with him.

"Don't you dare turn this around me! You were never truly my friend were you Potter?" Severus said Harry's last name with venom.

"At first no, but as soon as I got to know you more in the past few days I've truly grown to like you Snape wither you like it or not." Harry replied as he and Snape just started at each other in a heated staring contest apparently.

"Do you truly think that I believe that bull you just said?" Snape whispered heatedly.

"What do you want from me Snape? You were a complete jerk to me at school! You hated me just as much as you hate my father! And you made sure that I knew that. So I thought hey, since I have an opportunity to get even, why not? Can you honestly hate me for that?" Harry asked him.

"Yes I can! I never had no one that I could call a friend and here you go and tell me that it really wasn't your intentions to be friends with me? How could you mess with somebody's mind like that? You were supposed to be my best friend Harry! You're no better than me in your future if I'm all that you claim I'm there. Get out of my way." Snape said pushing past Harry but Harry stopped him by grabbing his wrist.

"There's nothing more I can do but say to you I'm sorry, Snape." Harry whispered to him.

"I don't want to hear it Potter. There's more important things I rather be doing than hearing you speak." Snape snarled at him snatching his arm back from Harry and leaving out the room of requirements.

A/N Okay, so what should I do know? Who do you think Remus should go out with? It's going to be a vote between Antonette or Desiree. Oh and I wont tell you who Harry will be going out with, its a surprise, and you'll have to wait three more chapters anyway to see.

Reviews would be nice please.
