Chapter 17 When You Just Don't Understand
******!!!!!!!!!!!*********!!!!!!!!!********!!!!!!!!!**********!!!!!!!!!***** *
What the "after shock" was, the group didn't quite know. Dumbledore didn't explain to them why Lana had seen what she had seen, and Lana didn't tell them what she'd seen. It had been a whole month. Arabella had been welcomed and become part of the group, and everything was back to normal. Even thought the group missed Trinity terribly, they went on with life, that's what she would have wanted.
So it had been a month without understanding anything honestly. The Marauders were alive and kickin' with new pranks, and had brought out the old Marauders' Map. Even Remus seemed to be his old self. Lily and James had gotten quite serious, giving kisses whenever available. Lana acted like herself, but what she didn't tell anyone was that those old dreams, the ones of Lily and James before they died, they had come back.reoccurring more than ever. Arabella had fit in quite well at Hogwarts, she was excellent at Defense Against the Dark Arts, and quite popular with the boys. As of today, she was dating Gilderoy Lockhart, a 7th year Hufflepuff.
"Hey baby." James said as he walked over to Lily draping his arm around her. She sat on one of the big comfy couches in the common room.
"Hey." She said closing her eyes, smelling her boyfriend.
"What are you doing?" He asked looking at her book. She shut it quickly.
"Noth..nothing." She stuttered trying to hide the book. James snatched it, read the front and laughed.
"You're actually reading muggle love novels?" he asked not giving her book back.
"Blame it on Bella! She got me into them." She said laughing. Just then she walked in quickly, red cheeks, looking quite upset. Gilderoy followed her.
"Get OUT of MY common room!" Bella yelled at him.
"Please my love, I wasn't cheating on you with Narcissa!" He yelled. "Please Lockhart, you've got lipstick on you!" Bella yelled. Gilderoy wiped around his mouth.
"What lipstick Bella?!" he yelled back. Her eyes went cold, along with her tone.
"She wasn't kissing your face my love." Bella said and pushed him out the portrait. She ran up to her room. Lily looked at James.
"Ouch." he said, then smiled. " Go Bella!" he laughed. Lily's face was still sad.
" I never did like him." She said. "That stupid Slytherin bitch, helping him too!" she looked flushed. James kissed her forehead.
"Calm down Lily, shh, it's ok." She looked into his eyes, she felt like she was spinning. She shut hey eyes and opened them back up.
"Did I ever tell you, that your eyes make me dizzy?" she asked closing her eyes again. He smiled.
"Is that bad?" he asked.
"No." she said simply, opening her eyes and smiling. Someone coughed loudly, they turned to see Remus, Sirius, and Lana all smiling.
Remus put on a high pitched voice, " Oh James, your eyes. they make me dizzy!" The group laughed.
Lana put on a deep, low voice. " Oh Lily, you know you drive me nutters." Everyone bust out laughing. Lily gasped for breath.
"That- was- the- saddest-thing!" Lily laughed.
It was good for things to be back to normal, or so they thought.
*****!!!!!!!!*********!!!!!!!!**********!!!!!!!!!!!!!**********!!!!!!!!!**** ***
A servant stood before Lord Voldemort. The small boy was nervous, his knees shaking.
"Wormtail!" the Dark Lord hissed.
"Yes, yes Master?" Wormtail asking, trying not to stutter.
"I've been meaning to ask you, are you still close to Potter? And Evans?" he asked, his red eyes glowing with evil. Peter couldn't find his voice.
"Yes, yes sir." His voice cracked. Voldemort's mouth curved into an evil smile. "Good Wormtail.I have a special job for you." He said.
"Yes, My Lord, anything for you." Peter said, more scared than ever.
*********!!!!!!!!!!!************!!!!!!!!!!!!************!!!!!!!!!!!!!*******
Lily had informed Lana on the news with Bella and Gilderoy. Lana just nodded and said, "Worthless.all of them.men." They headed up to the room. They had a new bed added in the room, no one slept in Trinity's bed. The found Bella lying on her bed, crying softly. Lily couldn't control her anger.
"Arabella- you are SO much better than that. You could do ten times better than that Lockhart, he's so self absorbed! Honestly!" Lily finished, breathing heavily. Bella just smiled at her.
" I know. I mean. he CHEATED on me, with that piece of trash!" She was now angry again, yelling loudly. Lana just sat down and closed her eyes.
"If it makes you feel better Bella, Narcissa cheated on MALFOY! Ha! And he is just as pissed, you see? At least Malfoy has to suffer too!" Lana looked at Lily anxiously, as if she was asking what else should she do. Lily just smiled.
"Come on Bella, let's sneak out tonight, we can go to Hogsmeade!" Lily said.
"And you're Head Girl Lils!" Bella said through a laugh.
" I mean honestly, we can get James' cloak, the map, it'll be awesome!" Lily said jumping up. " In the words of Sirius Black, ' Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust, Life is short, so PARTY WE MUST!' I'll go get the guys!"
"WAIT!" Lana yelled. Lily turned around.
"What?" Lily asked confused. Lana looked cautiously at Bella.
"Well," Lana started, " tonight's a full moon."
"Oh!" Lily said. She looked at Bella, hoping she wouldn't catch on.
"I know about Remus you guys." Bella said simply.
"How?" Lana asked, confused.
"Well, he told me. I couldn't sleep one night and I went downstairs and he was there, and we got into this huge conversation. He told me everything almost." She finished looking down.
"Oh" Lana said, she didn't understand how Remus could just tell someone that. She saw that "vision" again, of Remus and Bella in his arms.
"I'm tired." Bella said lying down.
"Me too." Lana said collapsing on her own bed.
"Party poopers." Lily said, sticking her tongue out and walking back downstairs.
Lily reached the bottom of the stairs to see just James sitting at the table; everyone else had gone to bed.
"Hello handsome." Lily said smiling and taking a seat beside James. He looked up and smiled.
"Full moon tonight." James said simply.
"I know, poor Remus." Lily said here eyes blazing with concern for her friend.
"Lily." James started, pulling out the map. " The guys and I have talked about it and we've come to a conclusion." He said no longer smiling.
"What is it?" Lily asked, her smile fading a bit.
"You know about Remus." James said. Lily looked confused.
"Umm.are you just stating the obvious here Jamsie?" Lily asked and giggled. James smirked.
"Well, have you ever wondered why we, us Marauders, call eachother the names we do?" James asked, his eyes growing with concern.
"Well, I figured it was just, some sort of inside joke." Lily said honestly.
"Well, it's not." James said. " Lily, back in 3rd year, the guys and me, we wanted to, help Remus out." James said all of this very slowly.
"Help.how?" Lily asked, she didn't understand.
"Well we devised a plan, a plan to become.illegal animagi." He paused waiting a second for Lily to understand.
"Ok." Lily said, obviously still confused.
"Well, we worked so hard on the potion, the charms, and by the time it was ready, we were in 5th year. We became what we wanted, because as you know a werewolves' bite doesn't harm animals. We decided to go with Remus every full moon. I'm a stag, therefor, I'm prongs." Lily nodded. " Well, Sirius is a dog, a huge black dog. So.Padfoot is his name. Peter turns into a rat, so Wormtail, and then the obvious one is Moony, Remus." He stopped and put on a cautious smile.
"So, you guys are all illegal animagi.to help Remus.and you didn't tell me?" Lily asked, still incredibly confused.
"Lily, we were going to! We didn't know when, or how though!" James said.
"Please Lily, don't be mad." He begged.
"I'm not, I'm not." She said putting a small smile on. " By no means am I NOT hurt, but still, I'm all right." Lily said. She kissed James. "I'm tired, and I'm going to bed." He caught her hand and spun her around.
"Lily.I want you to know, I love you. And. I was thinking of not going with the others tonight." He said, he suddenly became very nervous.
"What else would you do?" Lily asked, her eyes focused on James.
"Come with me." He whispered. She nodded and followed. He led her out the portrait, and into a corridor, one she had never seen. They stopped in front of a painting, one of a small girl, the little girl looked up and smiled.
"Hello James." She whispered. He smiled.
"Hello Kate, can I come in, I'd like to show my friend my room I found." James winked.
"But of course." The painting swung open. Inside this room, were bookshelves, a small table, a huge bed, and a fireplace.
"Wow James.really." Lily was looking around, James was looking at Lily. He smiled.
"This is my secret room." He smiled at her again. "I love you so much." He told her bringing her closer to him.
"I love you too, Mr. Stag." She said smirking at him. He went serious.
"Let me show you how much I love you." He whispered. Lily finally understood what was happening, her heart began pounding, her stomach fluttering. Her palms began to sweat.
"Show me then." She heard herself whisper back. He smiled again and laid her on the bed. He kissed down her neck, and slowly began to disrobe her. That night, was a night that changed their lives forever.
********!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*************!!!!!!!!!!!!*******!!!!!!!!!!******!!!!!! !!
Sirius awoke the next morning, with no Remus 'Shrieking Shack' he thought, Peter asleep on the floor, and no James.
"Where in the bloody heck is James?" He asked, mainly to himself. James walked out of the bathroom.
"I'm here." He had a huge smile.
"Why are you so happy?" Sirius asked lying down.
"Why shouldn't I be, Padfoot pal?" James asked, now brushing his teeth.
"I don't understand," Sirius said getting up. Then it hit him, James and Lily shagged!
"JAMES POTTER!" he yelled, smiling bigger than ever.
