Soul Mates… or Playmates? Part 8
"All right, yes, mmhmm, okay, see you! Yes, I promise I'll write." Said Lily hurriedly.
She ran through the barrier separating the Muggle world from the Magical world. The guards were walking up and down the sides of the train, closing the door.
"WAIT!" Lily called, dragging her trunk behind her.
One of the guards saw her, and smiled. "Cutting it close there, eh, gorgeous?" he said.
"Yes, my grandparents, they wouldn't let me leave! They kept hugging me. Can I please get on?"
"Yeah, go ahead. Have a nice time at Hogwarts!"
"Thanks, I will."
Lily dragged her trunk up the steps, and looked around the compartment that she entered and sighed. It was a compartment full of Slytherins. Lily pushed her way through them.
"Excuse me, sorry," she said.
Malfoy sneered at her as she went by, but didn't say a word. Lily just gave him a cold look, and went through another compartment looking for her friends.
Meanwhile, her friends were really worried.
"I didn't see her on the platform, did you?"
"No, suppose Malfoy did something to her? She could be in trouble. He did seem cold towards us today."
"He's always cold towards us, Suzanne. Stop worrying. She'll be fine."
"How can you know that Sirius? Things can happen that's out of our control."
"Sirius is right, Lily knows how to take care of herself."
"JAMES! How can you say something like that? I'd think you'd be worried."
"Hey guys, sorry, I had to walk through like, fifty compartments to get here. Malfoy seems different today. Did anyone else notice?"
"LILY!"
"We were so worried…"
"We thought maybe Malfoy…"
"I knew you weren't in trouble…"
"Don't DO that!"
"You look nice with your hair like that."
"Did I tell you what happened to Sophie from our old school?"
Lily looked around. "Hi; sorry; no way, I wouldn't let HIM do anything to me; I know! Why would I get myself in trouble?; do what? ; Thanks, it's a new style ; no, what happened?"
Everybody smiled at each other as Nadia and Lily got in a huge conversation. {A/N: My cat won't LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE! He thinks I'm gonna give him some of my cheddar sticks and cheese... HA}
The minutes flew by. Before they knew it, it was time to change into their school robes, for their seventh year.
"Oh my Goodness, where on EARTH are my robes?!!?" Cried a frantic Suzanne.
"China." Sirius said calmly.
Suzanne looked at him. "What?" she asked distractedly.
"China."
"What about China?!"
"You asked where on earth your robes are, and so I told you. They're in China."
"Riiiight…" Suzanne said while turning back to her trunk.
"They're not here, Lily can I borrow a pair of yours? We're about the same size."
"I would, you know I would, but I can't find mine."
"Me neither,"
"Neither can I."
Meanwhile the boys were calmly pulling their robes out of their trunks, carefully avoiding eye contact with the girls.
"Wait a sec, Sirius, they're not REALLY in China are they?" Asked Nadia.
"Give us our robes… NOW!" Cried Lily, with her wand ready.
Sirius eyed her wand, and laughed. "No."
"What do you mean no?" Suzanne said.
"Fine. If we have to go in with our Muggle clothes, then so will you." Lucy muttered something, and the boys robes disappeared.
"Give us back our robes, and we'll give yours back."
"Okay, okay, okay. Here." Remus gave the girls back their robes.
Lucy muttered another spell, and the boys' robes appeared again.
*********************************
"Where is the new teacher?"
"He's not here"
"Or she."
"Right."
Conversation was going on throughout the classroom, all similar to the conversation that was going on between Lily, Suzanne, James, and Peter.
"Maybe we won't have a teacher." Sirius butted in.
"Yeah, right. That'll never happen. Someone will take over."
Now the whole gang was getting into a conversation.
"Good day to you all. My name is Professor Quirrell."
Everyone jumped and looked at the new professor standing in front of them. He was rather young, and seemed to be just the tiniest bit nervous.
"Today we will be getting to know one another. Now when I call your name, I want you to stand up and say a little bit about yourselves. I'll start. My name is Professor Quirrell, and I love to travel. I went to Hogwarts when I was young, and took about a five-year break. Then I decided to come back. All right. Now I am going to call names in a random order. Hmm… Choler, Pulchra."
Pulchra threw her hair back and smiled. She stood up, and put her hands on her hips.
"My name is Pulchra, and I'm in Hufflepuff. My name means beautiful in Latin. It is true, I am so beautiful, the boys just can't keep their eyes off of me. Sometimes their hands are all over me too." She broke off in a giggle.
"Okay, nice to meet you Pulchra," said Professor Quirrell, "now, how about we hear from… Burke, Suzanne."
Suzanne stood up, and crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"Well, my name is Suzanne, and I was born and brought up in America. I came to England when I was about ten, and received a letter from Hogwarts. It was ever such a surprise. I'm in Gryffindor, and I like to - um - do stuff… that's fun… yeah…"
"Very nice, Suzanne. Let's hear from… Burchi, Nadia."
"My name is Nadia, and I like to shop, and hang out with my friends. I can't stand stupid people."
"Er, okay, Nadia. Now, how about, Grooterty, Jeff."
Jeff stood up, looking very nervous, and wringing his hands.
"My name is Jeff, as you know, heh heh, and um, I'm madly in love with Lily, and I want to marry her."
Then he actually got down on one knee, in front of Lily, and pulled his ring off his finger.
"Lily," he said breathlessly, "marry me. I love you. Please, marry me. You can do better then Potter, here." He put the ring on her finger.
Lily just stared at the ring, with a look of disgust and bewilderment on her face.
"Excuse me, um, I'm only, seventeen, and um, well, I don't want to marry you, ew, um, okay, here."
Lily gave him back the ring and turned back to her friends. She quickly looked away, because the temptation to burst out laughing was much too high.
When the lesson was over, Lily burst out laughing.
"Can you believe it?!!?"
James started laughing his head off. "Oh my God."
Sirius just rolled his eyes.
********************************
"I have such a feeling that this year is going to be awesome." Suzanne said one morning while the girls were getting ready for classes.
"Oh yeah?" Lucy replied.
"Yeah. I have like, a sixth sense about these things you know."
"Of COURSE you do."
"Seriously."
"I believe you 100%."
"No you don't! Why don't you?! You really should you know."
"I believe you! I think that this year will be awesome too."
"Hey guys, how should I wear my hair today?" Lily asked.
Nadia studied her. "Hmm… that's a tough one. Maybe you should wear it half up, half down…"
When they were ready, they went downstairs and met the boys, who were just on their way to the Great Hall.
"Hey boys." Lucy said.
"Hi, I was just looking for you Lily." James said.
"Oh? What's up?"
"Well, tonight is our one - year anniversary. I wanted to do something special. So lets meet in the Common Room tonight, at around 8:00. I have a really special evening planned."
Lily stared at him fondly. "I didn't even realize it was our anniversary. That is so sweet of you to remember! You are the world's best boyfriend." Then she hugged him.
"All right, let's GO. I'm so hungry, I could eat… um, anything… yeah, see? My brain can't function right without food." Sirius said.
"Since when does your brain function right?" Remus asked.
"When I'm not hungry, now let us go."
Breakfast flew by, and pretty soon Lily found herself in Potions, which was her fourth class of the day, after lunch. She marched in with her head held high, and sat in her usual seat between Malfoy and Snape.
"So I heard it's you and Potter's one year anniversary… how sweet." Snarled Snape.
"Yes, it is sweet." Lily replied nonchalantly.
"Are you going to do something special with lover boy?" Malfoy asked.
"That doesn't concern you, mind your own business."
"Oh but this IS our business." Muttered Malfoy, but Lily didn't hear him.
Professor Hawkins started explaining some complicated potion that they had to make now.
When Lily finally got out of Potions, she set up to Divination with Sirius, James, and Suzanne. The others took Ancient Runes.
"Good afternoon to you all. I am predicting that you all are well. Today we will be working on Crystal Balls. I want you all to look at the balls in front of you, and tell me what you see." Professor Trelawney said.
Sirius raised his eyebrows up and down at Lily, and grinned at her, while James did the same to Suzanne.
Lily and Suzanne burst out laughing.
"Not THOSE balls!" Suzanne said a little too loudly.
"Suzanne!" Lily said.
Too late. Professor Trelawney heard Suzanne, and came over, looking very angry.
"What's going on over here?" she demanded.
"Oh, um, Sirius here, he thought you meant um, basketballs." Suzanne said
"What? What is this nonsense? Basketballs indeed. I can tell when someone is lying, and there is no such thing as basketballs."
"Oh yes, there is Professor, it's a Muggle sport." Lily said.
Professor Trelawney peered at Lily through her oversized glasses.
"All right then. If you say so, you two are Muggle born, now try to concentrate, on what comes up in the crystal ball."
"I can't see anything," James muttered ten minutes later, "this is so stupid."
"Stupid, indeed!" Professor Trelawney said right behind them. "This is the most fascinating branch of magic that you will ever see."
James snorted, but Professor Trelawney pretended not to hear him.
"Here, let me look inside the orb. Dear! I see lots of things. Hmm… I see wedding bells, and then I see a great tragedy. You will die, a terrible death, along with your wife. Your wife is someone you know very well, and you two will be very happy. Your son, he will be extremely famous. Very famous. You will have to leave him though, at a very young age."
James stared at her. "Right, so you're telling me that you can see my future in this piece of junk? I don't believe in this for one second."
"Have it your way." Professor Trelawney stalked off, clearly disgusted that this boy didn't believe her.
*****************************************************
"Lily, you look beautiful! James is going to drop dead when he sees you." Nadia said.
Lily snorted. "I hope not!"
"You better go, Lily, it's 8:00!"
"All right, you're sure I look okay?" Lily twirled around in her light green dress robe, with her hair in little pony tails across the top of her head.
"You look better than okay." Lucy said.
Lily smiled, "Thanks a lot guys. You're the best!"
"Have fun! Don't do something stupid." Suzanne called after Lily, as she rushed out of the door.
Lily went downstairs, feeling very excited. James was already waiting for her by the Fat Lady.
****************************************************
"Lily's so lucky to have such an awesome boyfriend." Suzanne sighed.
"Yeah, I mean think about it. They're probably at some romantic resteraunt, sharing spaghetti…" said Lucy.
They talked about this for hours, when they heard someone coming up the stairs. Lily came in, holding her purse, looking extremely sad, and disbelieving.
"Lily? What's wrong?" Suzanne asked.
Lily stared at the wall. She looked at Suzanne, and looked at the wall again. She looked desperate, like a puppy who has just been kicked.
"What's wrong?" Nadia asked.
Lily sort of stamped her foot. "We-" her voice broke - "We just broke up."
