Chapter 26: Creamy
Lily woke the thirty-first of October with a smile on her face. Today was the real and official Halloween, but they couldn't have the party on a Sunday really. That would've been unfortunate for the next day of school. Lily sighed in a content way, and turned to look at her nightstand watch. Her eyes opened wide. The clock was four. In the pm's! Lily jumped from her bed and threw on her shirt and skirt and stockings and shoes. She seized her tie, west and cloak and made a run for it up to the girls' dormitory, of course using the shortcuts Vilde and Julie had showed her. She was soon standing outside the Gryffindor Common Room Portrait.
"Password?" the Fat Lady asked.
"Tibetan turnip," Lily said, catching her breath.
The portrait swung out and Lily crawled through the hole. The common room was filled with people, but Lily didn't stop and say hello to the people she knew. She simply needed to get into the girls' dormitory.
Vilde woke slowly that morning. She felt something was going to go wrong that day, but she had no idea of what. She knew that Remus, along with Sirius, James and Peter, was taking a trip to Hogsmeade. She also knew that she owed Julie money, something the small girl wouldn't get as she had probably already forgotten about the money. And that was just plain evil.
If Julie didn't remember, Vilde would make it up to her friend by buying something worth of one sickle. But the weird feeling that something would go wrong today just didn't leave her gut. She rose slowly from the bed, not really feeling like getting up with such a feeling in the pit of her stomach. But she rose none the less. She walked silently into the bathroom after throwing a look at the watch. Noon. Hm, the boys would probably already have left.
When it came to school, no way were they getting up. But when it came to Hogsmeade and Madam Rosmerta, hell yeah would they get up early. Vilde smiled slightly at that. Rosmerta was an extremely kind woman, not to mention pretty, so no wonder the boys liked to look at her. She was out of their reach anyways, so it really didn't bother Vilde. She looked herself in the mirror and cussed silently. Her hair stood to all sides. Something was definitely wrong today.
Julie wanted to kill that someone who was poking her out of her lovely Johnny Depp dream. She really wanted to kill that someone. And she still did when she opened her eyes with malice and looked to find red hair.
"Charmy, if you're not outta my way in TWO seconds, I'm going to twist your perfect, little neck!" Julie bellowed.
Lily snickered and moved away. "Have you seen Crazy?" she then asked.
Julie said something into her pillow and tried to go back to sleep.
"It's Halloween today, Cookie. You know, with the soda and all that," Lily said.
Julie just grunted.
"And it's dinner in an hour with delicious Halloween stuffed food and the dessert with mountains of fountain chocolate," Lily said evilly.
Julie jumped up. "Chocolate? Where?" she asked desperately and jumped out of her bed, sniffing in the air.
"I was talking about in the Great Hall, hon," Lily said with a small smile.
"Great Hall? Gottit!" Julie said and made to sprint to the doors.
Lily seized her arm. "Nah-ah, clothes first," she said with a smile.
Julie slumped and turned tiredly to her suitcase. "Yes, mom," she said, the pout so evident in her voice.
"But where's Crazy?" Lily asked.
"Where's Erynne?" Julie asked.
"Good question," Lily said.
"You too. They're probably ditching us and hiking down to Hogsmeade for a juicy butterbeer," Julie said with sad eyes as she pulled on her shirt, skirt, tie, west, stockings, shoes and cloak.
Lily had finished up before she woke Julie.
"Then let's go?" Lily asked.
"Yup, let's go," Julie said with a wide grin.
"But we still have to look for them," Lily said to Julie, who slumped again.
"Yes, mom, fine," Julie said.
Lily chuckled. "Good," she simply said, smiling widely.
Erynne was sitting on a dry jacket by the lake again. She really liked the glassy form, and how dark it was. It wasn't like a normal ocean or anything, which was typically dark blue. No, the lake at Hogwarts was black, as in black, black. And she liked it. She didn't feel so good, though. She actually felt rather hopeless. Seeing Voldemort, even with Vilde's humor, had been a trying task indeed. And she hadn't really liked it at all. Of course she loved the idea of humiliating Voldemort, something they had definitely done. It had simply been hard. Especially when Vilde had looked serious. Erynne shivered, but didn't want to think anymore about it.
"There you are!" Vilde's voice said from behind Erynne.
"Yup," Erynne said.
Vilde sat down next to her and jumped up again. "The grass is wet," she said matter-of-factly.
"Which is why I'm sitting on a jacket," Erynne said, and then scooted over. "There's room for another ass," she said.
Vilde grinned and sat down next to her friend. "So, you okay?" Vilde asked her.
Erynne smiled. "Yes, why wouldn't I be?" she asked, though she feared the answer.
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe because you looked so sad over the water and extremely thoughtful. Plus the fact that you really reacted to my Voldemort costume last night," Vilde said with a small smile.
Erynne dropped her smile, knowing that Vilde wasn't going to buy whatever story Erynne made up.
Vilde sighed next to her. "You've seen him, haven't you?" she asked.
"Yeah. I've seen him. Many times actually," Erynne said with a voice laced in hatred.
Vilde nodded. "I'm sorry," she said slowly.
"Don't worry about it," Erynne said.
"All right. Well, I gotta go do my Potions Essay. But, Erynne, you can always come talk to me if you want. There's nothing I prioritize over friends who needs to talk," Vilde said solemnly.
"Thanks," Erynne said, meaning it.
She smiled at Vilde, who smiled back, and then retreated to the castle while Erynne stared out at the lake again.
Of course James and Sirius had to check Zonko's out to look for new supply, even though James had been there only yesterday with Lily. And thereby Peter followed. But Remus needed a new quill, and he knew that the guys weren't that keen on buying boring things like that, so he made his way over to the closest store with quills. He rushed inside, due to the ice-cold wind. The store hit him with a familiar smell of books. He felt at ease when nearby books. He walked over to the shelves that held the different kinds of quills and picked down a black one with a sharp edge. His favorite.
The doorbell rang, signaling that someone else had entered the building. On his way to the counter, he looked to the door, seeing a girl with blond, long, curly hair. She reminded him of someone, but he couldn't remember who. But a burning sensation fired in his stomach. He didn't know how, but he felt like some part of him didn't like her. He walked up to the desk and paid for the quill with a couple f sickles.
Then he walked out, passing the girl on his way. She smiled carefully to him. He nodded slightly, but he couldn't make his lips smile. That's when he remembered her. She was the one who pushed Vilde down the stairs! Remus turned abruptly and pushed the girl at a wall. The woman behind the counter exclaimed a loud 'hey!' as the blonde girl gasped at the slight pain that hit her back. Remus felt a rage he had never before felt in his life. Not even when he was a …
Remus let the girl go at once. "I'm sorry," he said, breathing heavily before running out of the shop.
Had he just attacked somebody? He had never felt such a surge of instincts in his life. And it was still there. His blood was pumping through his body like mad and he wanted to run. He wanted to run and never come back. Then an arm was placed on his shoulder, and he whipped around, catching himself just before his hand connected with the face of the blonde girl from the shop.
"This is about Vilde, right?" she asked him.
Remus felt like growling.
"I'm sorry about that," she said.
Remus narrowed his eyes.
"I truly am. I was having a really bad day. I know that doesn't excuse me, but we can't always be responsible for our actions. If we were, I'd tell on you to the principal," the girl said, trying, but failing, to smile.
Remus' eyes opened to normal size, and he simply frowned. "Sorry," he repeated.
"So am I," she said, and Remus knew she was talking about Vilde.
The anger in Remus' stomach when he looked at that girl vanished instantly, but he still felt rather pumped.
"Don't worry about it. It's not me you should apologize to," Remus pointed out.
"I just don't want you to be mad at me. And I'll tell Vilde how sorry I am," she said.
"You do that," Remus said with a small smile.
He wanted this conversation to be over. He really needed to run.
"See you around," she said, and Remus nodded.
"Bye," he said.
The girl turned and Remus started walking in the opposite direction. When he felt he had come far enough, he started running. He ran out of Hogsmeade and to the mountain.
Vilde and Julie walked down through the gates of Hogsmeade, Julie having just found her.
"How is Erynne? She seemed so quiet," Julie asked.
"I don't really know. She's hiding something, but I don't wanna nag. I mean, she has to tell us these things in confidence if it actually involves Voldemort," Vilde said.
"Yeah, that's true, but I wish she'd say something," Julie said.
"Hey! Guys!" Lily's voice yelled behind them, and they turned to the redhead running towards them.
"Hey Charmy," Vilde said with a wide grin.
"What's the rush?" Julie asked.
"Well, Erynne's been pretty down since the Halloween party, and I figured out something that might cheer her up!" Lily said happily.
Julie frowned. "What, then?" she asked.
"I'll tell you after-" Lily stopped talking and bonked Julie in the back of her head.
"Hey! What was that for?" Julie asked, holding her head.
"You were about to leave to Hogsmeade without me, when we were both looking for Crazy? That's just cruel, Cookie," Lily said with narrowed eyes.
"Sorry," Julie said with a wicked grin.
Lily rolled her eyes. "Anyways, here's the deal," Lily said and launched into the story of how they could make Erynne feel better.
Vilde and Julie were both smirking widely after just two words, because they knew what to do now.
Erynne walked into the kitchen, wanting to eat something. The dinner had been pushed to seven o'clock because so many people had woken up late, and students had told the headmaster or the head of house to postpone the dinner. But Erynne was hungry so she figured the kitchen would be the best place to go.
The elves all were very kind to her and gave her a large plate of food, making Erynne slightly guilty-looking when she didn't manage to eat it all in front of their starry glazed eyes. But they said they didn't mind, and it really looked like they meant it. She had, however, made sure to make 'yummy' noises at least five times for every mouthful. But she hadn't even exaggerated it in the least. The food had been extremely delicious. She walked out of the kitchen with a massive grin that the elves had also displayed on their own faces. She then ran straight into the three C-girls.
"There you are!" Vilde yelled happily, jumping up and down.
"We've been looking for ages!" Julie whined.
"Ehm, no we haven't. We've been looking for ten minutes or something," Lily said with a sweat-drop at the two girls.
Erynne just grinned. "You girls really are the craziest people I've ever met. And that says a lot!" she said humorously.
Vilde and Julie high-fived.
"Anyways! We wanna tell you something to cheer you up!" Julie then said.
"I'm cheerful," Erynne said with a shrug.
"No, you're not," Lily said seriously.
Erynne scoffed, but then looked expectantly at them.
"We want to tell you-" Vilde started.
"That we want to call you-" Julie went on, and they all looked at each other, and they yelled:
"CREAMY!"
Erynne frowned first, then her eyes opened wide. "You're giving me a C-name?" she exploded.
"Yup!" Julie yelled.
"EEP!" Erynne yelled with a massive smile on her face.
"Now you just have to pass the test," Vilde said seriously.
Erynne stopped jumping up and down. "Test?" she asked.
"Yup. It's fairly simple," Vilde said.
"What is it?" Erynne asked.
"You have to come up with a wicked and awesome prank!" Julie yelled happily.
"And it's okay if it's totally disgusting," Vilde said with a grave nod.
Julie snickered evilly. Then they both looked at each other.
"First rule!" Vile said.
"Never prank a fellow C! Only exception:" Julie said.
"Operation MatchMaker," Vilde finished.
Erynne nodded gravely. "All right-y," she said.
"Second rule!" Vilde yelled loudly.
"Carry your name with pride!" Julie finished.
"No problem," Erynne said wickedly.
"Third rule!" Vilde yelled.
"You better get a horrible and fearsome reputation," Julie said with narrowed eyes.
"Duh," Erynne said wickedly.
"Fourth rule!" Vilde said.
"There are no limitations to how horrible your prank can be, as long as it has nothing to do with death and physical torture!" Julie said.
Erynne frowned. "Since when?"she asked, thinking back at the times they had physically tortured Slytherins.
"Since we realized that Dumbledore could actually expel us," Vilde said with a sad face.
"I miss their horror-stricken faces," Julie said with a pout.
"Me too, Cookie. Me too," Vilde said and they patted each other's arms.
"All right! What's the fifth rule?" Erynne asked.
"The fifth rule is there are no rules except for the above," Vilde said wickedly.
"Oh, like that," Erynne said wickedly.
"Mhm," Julie said joyously, but in a creepy manner that only she could manage.
They then walked to Hogsmeade to get a butterbeer.
Severus: What's wrong with Erynne?
Lily: Aw, you do care!
I thought you already knew what was the matter with Erynne, Sevvy-boy.
Severus: Hn.
Erynne: OH! I HAVE A C-NAME! Bledi-bledi-bluse! So there! Fail on everyone who does not have a C-name!
Sirius: I wasn't that much in this chapter. How dull…
Remus: Not everyone loves you, Paddy-boy xD
Sirius: You're just saying that because you got a big part of this chapter!
Remus: Of course.
Vilde: NUUU! You have destroyed my Remy! FOOL BITCHIUS! I SHALL NOW EXECUTE YOU! SAMURAI-STYLE!
Sirius: NUUU! *Hides behind Julie*
Julie: No one touches my baby!
Sirius: I love you too, Julie-girl!
Julie: Good doggie!
