Of Early morning talks, Roses, and Walks in the Park
Lily nodded. Hmmm…. Illegal Animagi? If she hadn't seen
it for herself, she wouldn't believe it.
"Oh." She said quietly. Just then, a dorm door shut. Lily turned to see Emily walking downstairs. She had sky blue pajamas with large yellow smiley faces on them. He hair was in a makeshift ponytail, with bed-strewn pieces hanging around her face. She smiled groggily.
"What's
up?" She asked, collapsing in an armchair. Before Lily could answer, Callie and
Jen emerged as well. Callie's dark brown hair glimmered red in the firelight,
while Jen's greenish blue eyes looked the most alert of the three.
"Hi
guys." Lily said. Callie nodded. Jen smiled as she threw her dark brown hair up
into a pony-tail.
"Yeppers."
Said Callie, smiling.
"So,
what's up Lily? You're down here with James and Sirius and you didn't invite
us?" Emily said, mocking a hurtful expression. Jen laughed. Sirius and James
exchanged glances and nodded. They sat down and let Lily begin.
"You
see, girls, I had this dream…" Lily began. Between Sirius, James, and Lily,
they related the whole story. After she had finished, Lily sighed.
"Animagi?
Animagi?" Emily sputtered. She, like Lily, had to see things to believe them.
Jen just nodded while Callie sat, open mouthed.
"Emily,
we're sorry we couldn't tell you." Sirius said, walking over and placing a hand
on her shoulder.
"Why
didn't you?" She asked, turning to him.
"Because,
all of us had to agree. And, one of us didn't until last night. Not to name the
person, but he isn't in this room." James answered for Sirius. Callie nodded,
understanding. Emily and Jen caught on a second later, and of course Lily
already knew. It was a mutual understanding that Peter Pettigrew disliked the
girls. When the appropriate questions of the Animagi situation were answered,
the girls returned to bed for an hour or so of sleep. Emily gave Sirius a hug
and ran to catch up with others.
When
Callie woke up later that morning, Lily and Liane were already up. Callie
rolled over, attempting to go back to sleep. This would have worked perfectly
had something sharp not poked her in the cheek. She sat up and searched her
pillow. She found a rose that had had a shrinking charm on it. When she
enlarged it, she found a piece of parchment attached. It read:
Good morning, Callie! I hope this wasn't a rude awakening. Will you do me the great honor of escorting me to Hogsmeade today? Please consider.
~James
Callie smiled inwardly. She returned the rose to its shrunken form and carefully placed it on her pillow. She got up and pulled on some clothes. Excitedly, she ran downstairs. James and Sirius were asleep in two of the overstuffed armchairs in the common room. Callie shook each awake.
"Good morning!" she said happily. Sirius nodded groggily.
"Why are you so happy, Callie?" he mumbled.
"Why, don't you know?" Callie perked. James flushed. Was she going to tell? Callie continued. "Today, my dear friend, is a Hogsmeade day." James sighed relief. She flashed a smile in his direction. He returned the smile and excused himself. He ran up to the dorm and changed into muggle clothing.
After breakfast, Callie walked with James, Emily, Sirius, Lily, and Jen to Hogsmeade. Liane was feeling a bit under the weather, and Remus was off to see "his dying great-aunt." Jen pointed out that Remus' great aunt had already died twice, but James and Sirius had changed the subject. Once inside the wizarding village, Jen stopped the group.
"Hey guys, um, I have a problem." She said in a whisper. Lily and Callie nodded for her to continue. James and Sirius tapped their feet, and Emily smiled.
"What?" Emily asked.
"You see…this guy asked me out. And he's a bit…odd." Jen said. James and Sirius saw where this was going.
"And did you always think this guy disliked you?" James asked. Jen nodded. "Are you feeling sorry for him?" James asked, smiling wider. Jen nodded.
"Just join him in a butterbeer on the next Hogsmeade weekend." Sirius said. The girls looked confused, but Jen brightened.
"Okay! That's what I'll do! Thanks guys! C'mon Lily, let's go!" Jen finished, pulling Lily towards the robe shop. Sirius and Emily laughed while they walked to the Quidditch shop, and James directed Callie to the Three Broomsticks.
James and Liane were both chasers on the Quidditch team. Emily and Sirius played beaters and the rest of the players were in different years. Lily, Callie, and Jen came to every practice to cheer their friends on.
After the butterbeer, James and Callie walked in the park. A minute later, they saw something they had not expected.
A/N: I know it was a bit short, but I lacked inspiration. My muse has left for Pluto. She will return when Star*dust has decided to talk to me again. So, Star*dust, bring me back my muse!!!! LOL. So, any guessed what they saw??? Kudos to Alaska! You, my friend, are awesome! Also to Harmony, Just a Girl, and Sierra. Thanks for listening to me!!!!
