Chapter 4 ~ Suspense (The Weekend)
At 9:00 A.M on Saturday, Lily was promptly waiting to sign out of school so that she could buy her supplies from
Hogsmeade. Laura and Lily planned to spend half a day in Hogsmeade buying sweets, supplies for potions, quills,
parchment and bottles of ink. They bought their potions first and new quills, parchment and bottles of ink. They
spent ages in Honeyduke's deciding which sweets to buy, and then Laura dragged Lily into Zonko's to buy some
tricks to use on their enemies. At about 11:30 they had finished shopping and decided to go to The Three
Broomsticks for a Butterbeer or two. Lily and Laura had just sat down at a table when Sirius and James walked in.
They didn't notice each other, as Sirius and James were busy talking to Madam Rosmerta. Laura and Lily finished
their Butterbeers and decided to stay for another. Laura went to the bar to order. "Can I have two Butterbeers
please?" Laura asked.
"Hi Laura, is Lily feeling better today?"
"Yeah, she's better."
"Can we sit with you? I promise not to be idiotic and immature." James laughed at Sirius.
"Yeah, when hell freezes over."
Laura laughed too. "Yeah, whatever." James was pleased to see that Lily was smiling. He sat down next to her.
"Am I forgiven then?"
"Yeah, I suppose you and the irresponsible piece of crap you call your friend is too." Lily joked. James laughed as
Sirius pulled a 'You-better-not-be-talking-about-me' face. "Where's Remus?" Lily asked.
"Oh, he's feeling ill."
"Don't you have to practise for tomorrow's game James?"
"Yeah, at about 3:00 P.M, though I don't really need to."
Sirius winked at Lily. "Warned you about his huge ego."
Lily laughed. James frowned. "Sirius you git!"
Lily laughed again. "It's one of your bad points James, I do believe I told you in Fifth Year." They stayed in the pub
until 2:30, when they decided to walk back up to the castle in time for James' Quidditch practise.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lily copied out Remus' notes and made quite a good job of her homework. She went down to dinner at about 6:00.
James appeared covered in mud about ten minutes later. "Is it raining?" Sirius asked.
"No Sirius, I just felt like rolling around on the muddy ground instead of flying." Lily laughed.
"Just finished that homework James, done and dusted."
"Glad to hear it" said Sirius. "Did you copy someone's notes?"
"Yeah, Remus let me borrow his."
"The traitor! Does he want James to lose the bet?"
"Remus is far too friendly, damnit."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lily had realised that James was trying to be nice to her most of the time, so she had decided to be nice or at least
civil to him. She stood in the Gryffindor stands watching him play Quidditch. "Lily? Hello? Anyone there?" Lily
jumped and tore her eyes away from James. "Sorry Laura, what did you say?"
"Doesn't matter - this does. Do you fancy James?" Lily was watching James again.
"Erm, no. I like him though." Laura gave her a doubtful look. "As a friend Laura, that's all." Sirius was standing on
the other side of Laura. "I told you he was okay apart from his big head, obviously, otherwise I wouldn't hang
around with him."
Lily snorted. "You'd hang around with anyone who agreed to make mischief and generally annoy people with you."
Sirius pulled a puppy dog face and sniffed like he was going to cry. "I'm hurt Lily. Anyway, Remus doesn't generally
annoy people with me and I like hanging around with Laura too." Laura blushed and smiled.
"Oh yeah, Remus is normal. Why he hangs around with you, I'll never know." Frank caught the snitch, Gryffindor
had won! They cheered and laughed at the chant, which had arisen from the Gryffindor stands.
'Longbottom caught the snitch again,
Gryffindor have won!
Gryffindor's all shout with joy,
Our party has begun!'
They walked down to the pitch and waited by the changing rooms for James. When he came out, Lily spoke first.
"Okay, I'm sorry about the huge ego thing. You were brilliant! Maybe you've deflated your head a little bit since
Fifth Year." James laughed and subconsciously ruffled up his head.
"Yeah, Lily said she likes you as a friend. Isn't that sweet Jame-sy?"
"Shut up Sirius!" Lily and James said in unison.
