Chapter 7 – "Relationship" Problems
The following Monday didn't really go as plan as the now-five Gryffindors wanted it to be. By then, almost, well, the entire castle found out that James and Lauren was an item. This new item was all the girls gossiped about. But, of course, the five Gryffindors never knew what was going on.
Once they got to the Great Hall, all eyes were on "the item", and death glares were being shot at Lauren from every direction, because, of course, they were jealous of her. Lauren was just confused about all the death glares she was receiving, but just shrugged it off and sat at a spot on the table with Lily and Remus next to her, and Sirius and James across from them. As they sat down, they began to eat.
"So James, do you know when Quidditch season starts?" Sirius asked James, spreading butter on his toast.
"Don't know, guess we have to ask Wannahawkalugi," James said, with a mouthful of scrambled eggs, and spitting some bits and pieces everywhere.
"Eww! James! Did your mom ever tell you not to speak with your mouthful?" Lily asked, whipping some pieces of eggs of her face.
"Yeah, but she isn't here is she?" James responded, now through a mouthful of bacon. Lily didn't say anything but instead threw a napkin at him instead. Lauren laughed as it hit James in the face, spitting out some bits and pieces of her pancakes in the process.
"Well, well, well. Look at what we have here," came a voice behind James and Sirius. The two boys turned around to see who was talking, and the their friends in front of them looked up. It was a snotty Ravenclaw in their year, named Sasha Imahoe.
"Wud ya want Imahoe?" Lauren said, unkindly. She didn't like this Ravenclaw very much, if you could tell.
"I was seeing if what all the girls were saying was true," Imahoe answered.
"Which is…?" Lily asked, rather harshly. She wasn't a big fan of this Ravenclaw either.
"That James and Jelloson are really an item," Imahoe responded, in a disgusted tone. Once James and Lauren realized what Imahoe said, they started chocking on their food, as well as the others.
"What?!" Lauren exclaimed, spraying bits of bacon and toast to her friends around her.
"Seriously James, I thought you had better taste then that little, ugly, freak like her," Imahoe sneered, and walked back to her house table.
"Why, that stupid hoe! I'm so going to kick her –" Lauren started, getting up from her seat, but Lily and Remus pushed her back down.
"Now, now, Lauren. There's no need for violence," Remus stated, putting a firm hand on her shoulder so she wouldn't get up and kill the Ravenclaw.
"Violence?!" Lauren shouted and her eye twitching a bit as it usually did when she was angry. "Sirius, Remus, and I are going to start our way to Potions now because I need to talk to them. We'll meet you guys down at the dungeon later," Lauren informed James and Lily, while getting up from her seat and started walking out of the Great Hall.
Sirius and Remus gave a nod goodbye to the soon-to-be couple, and followed Lauren slowly out of the Great Hall. When Lauren is mad like this, it's usually best to stay out of her way, but do what she tells you, because if not done, it won't be pretty. Such brave soldiers Sirius and Remus are. Once they got out of the Great Hall, Lauren was waiting for them.
"Do you think we should follow them? You know, just in case Lauren kills them or something?" James asked Lily.
"Nah, Sirius and Remus are big boys and they can handle themselves at times like this. But, if Lauren does happen to kill them, I'll make sure she apologizes for all the torture she caused them at their funerals," Lily answered, drinking her pumpkin juice.
"I don't know what's stopping me, but if it wasn't, I would make it to where neither of you could have any sexual pleasure of any sort, or have any children," Lauren said, angrily. The two boys winced.
"Uhh…what's wrong Lauren?" Sirius managed to squeak out.
"What's wrong? WHAT'S WRONG? I think you should know by now what's wrong! Last time I though we were trying to make James and Lily an item, NOT HIM AND ME!" Lauren exclaimed, walking towards the Gryffindor tower, Remus and Sirius following her closely.
"Lauren, it's okay, we just need to think of something else to try to hook them up," Remus said, sympathetically.
"I'm starting to think that any of your plans are working. Remember, "Task Three" included me and James snogging. That idea did not exactly make Lily and James admit their feelings to each other did it?" Lauren asked, mockingly.
"Come on, Lauren, snogging James wasn't that bad, was it?" Sirius asked.
"Oh, it was bad alright. If you don't believe me, you could go ahead and try it yourself," Lauren offered, entering the common room and going up to the girl's dormitories to get her things. The two boys just stayed down stairs in the common room because they already had their things.
"So little, but has so much anger," Sirius commented quietly to Remus.
"Yeah, I wonder how it all fits inside her," Remus agreed just as quietly, so Lauren wouldn't hear them. A few seconds later, Lauren came downstairs, with all her things and exited the Portrait Hole, with Sirius and Remus following her.
"And another thing, why don't we just make this whole stupid 'mission' thing easier?" Lauren asked, now walking towards the dungeons.
"How?" Sirius and Remus asked at the same time, now one walking each side of her.
"We could just tell the that one likes the other, than happily ever after, the end." Lauren said plainly.
"Now where's the fun in that?" Sirius whined.
"Fun? It was never fun in the first place. When we got chased around by the psycho around the common, was that fun? No. When I got drunk and started worshiping the 'porcelain god', was that fun? No. When James had his tongue down my throat, was that fun? No. Now tell me, which part of our 'mission' did you think was fun Remus?" Lauren asked, irritably.
"Why do you always bring up your and James's little snogging session like it's our fault?" Remus asked.
"Because it is your fault, genius! What's the next task on the list that you're going to make me do? To have a little snogging session with Lily, too?" Lauren said, sarcastically.
"Actually, you snogging with Lily would be quite entertaining…" Sirius thought out loud.
"WHAT?!" Lauren shrieked.
"Calm down, he was just joking," Remus said, sending a death glare to Sirius, and putting a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"Why are you telling me to calm down? I'll calm down once you tell me how I could end my so-called "relationship" with James, and continue hooking him and Lily up," Lauren stated, trying to find out what other ideas the two could come up with.
"Actually, I do have an idea," Sirius said, with a proud smile playing on his face.
"Well, go on, tell me!" Lauren pleaded, looking up hopefully at Sirius.
"Well do you promise not to be a little brat anymore?" Sirius asked playfully, which earned him a smack on the arm fro Lauren.
"Just tell me!" She said anxiously.
"Okay, well I was thinking since everybody knows that you guys are already "an item", than all you need to do is break up with him, in front of everyone, like at lunch or something. All you have to do is make it a big scene, and everybody will think that you guys aren't together no more," Sirius explained, as they entered the potions classroom.
"Sirius, that's brilliant! That's probably the best plan you've come up with!" Lauren exclaimed.
"Yeah, of course I am," Sirius, said teasingly.
"Okay, well then all we need to do is tell James and Lily about our plan, and than we'll be ready by lunch," Remus said, waiting for the two to enter the classroom.
"Yeah, let's just hopes this works," Lauren responded.
