I was lost
And you were found
You seemed to stand on solid ground
Sweet misery you cause me
That's what you called me
Sweet misery you cause me
And in my heart I see, oh
What you're doing to me
And in my heart I see, oh
Just how you wanted it to be
Sweet misery
~Michelle Branch "Sweet Misery"
It wasn't a Hogsmeade weekend, but what do you know...Hogsmeade was exactly where James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter were on the cold January morning. And what shop were they in? Where else? Zonko's, the joke shop.
CRASH!
A store owner rushed over and saw a light, silver liquid covering a chubby little boy. It was Peter, and he knocked over and broke yet another object. All of a sudden, Peter's voice filled the room.
"I feel like I'm not smart enough. I feel weak and stupid. I want to be popular and smart like they are. I want to feel special, so much that I'd..."
The store owner blasted a thin gray line at Peter, and Peter stopped talking.
Remus, James, and Siruis all looked confused. Peter looked a little dazed, but he usually did anyway.
"What was that?" asked Remus to the store owner.
"That," the store owner said proudly, "is a truth-telling potion."
"Huh?" asked a very perturbed Sirius.
'If a drop of this gets into anybody's mouth, then they spout out secrets faster than a water fountain," replied the store owner.
"Cool," said James, appreciatively, "How much?"
"Sale. 5 Knuts."
"Great! I'll take it!" exclaimed James.
Lily was weeping silently in her dorm. None of the other girls were around. She used this time to muse over her recent thoughts.
Lily on the outside was a cool and confident girl. Everyone looked up to her as the perfect witch, but inside was a different story. Her parents died just last year and everyday, she was getting more and more depressed. Her sister, Petunia, blamed the death on her. Petunia hated Lily, and Lily hated her right back. Petunia was incredibly cruel and incredibly horse-like. Lily couldn't stand the constant nagging feeling that it was her parents's deaths were her fault. And with summer right around the corner, she had no idea where she was going to live. Lily knew she was getting depressed and bottling up all her feelings inide her, but she couldn't help it.
She heard someone walking up the stairs to the girls's dorm so she wiped her eyes on her pillow case and pasted a bright smile on her face.
Meanwhile, James, Remus, Peter, and Siruis were walking back to Honeydukes so they could take the secret passage back to Hogwarts. They kept asking Peter what his little announcement in Zonko's was about, but Peter was silent.
"You know, Peter, although it sounds cliche, nobody's perfect. I mean your talking to a werewolf!" said Remus.
"I know what Remus is saying," stated James, "the only reason girls chase after me is cuz I can catch a ball. They don't even know me. I mean, how am I supposed to know who is after me for me?"
Sirius slapped him on the back. "You're getting all sentimental on us, buddy."
James jumped. He almost forgot he wasn't talking to himself. It was true. And between Quidditch and school, he barely had time to do anything even scoping out girls.
"...Well, I think I'm perfect," Siruis was saying.
They all laughed, and the tension was blown away in the winter wind. They entered Honeyduke's and headed for the basement.
Lily was talking to Maddie.
"I can't wait for the Quidditch game! I mean who wouldn't want to watch the hottest guys in the school!" exclaimed Maddie, a little too enthusiatically in Lily's opinion.
Lily knew she was referring to Siruis Black, the beater, and James Potter, the seeker. They both were a little too conceited according to Lily.
"So, anyway, I think we should all get ready for the game," said Lily's other best friend, Kate Lokings. Kate was tall with magnificent dark hair and brown eyes. Maddie constantly joked to Kate to lend just an inch or two to Maddie's tiny 5" frame. "You coming, Lils?" Kate added.
"Of course," answered Lily, "I just gotta take a shower."
"We'll meet you then," said Maddie, "The usual, top bleacher."
"Yup," replied Lily. And she ran to the prefect bathroom. She was Head Girl, along with James Potter a Head boy.
James sped around the Hogwarts corridors and slid down a bannister in an effort to get to the prefect bathroom faster. He had a Quidditch game in 20 minutes and was in desperate need of a shower.
He slowed as he approached the door and walked in. He heard the only shower running.
"Damn," he muttered. He saw a pile of clothes in the middle of the bathroom.
"Hello," he called, "Ummmm....not to be rude to whoever's in there, but I need to use the shower quickly."
A red head popped out around the shower curtain and she eyed James.
"Excuse me, but wait your turn." Her head disappeared back in the shower.
Maybe red heads are really hot heads, James thought.
Five minutes passed. Lily was in a grumpy mood so she decided to make her shower as long as possible. She felt like annoying this person who thought he ruled the school in Lily's opinion.
James was bouncing up an down impatiently. He was going to miss the game.
"Geez, your gonna wash the hair right off your head if you stay in any longer," James said.
"Don't worry yourself," replied Lily.
"Here, can I just hop right in with ya? It'll go faster and we both can use the shower!" said James, jokingly, "I wouldn't mind taking a shower with a cute girl."
He thinks I'm cute? Lily thought. Wait what am I thinking? Did you hear what he just said, she asked her brain?
She covered up her confusion by yelling, "PERVERT!" a little too late.
"Ahh," said James, "I think you considered it."
"In your dreams, pal," she said a little angrily, but almost amused. "Now can you please get out of here? I need to change back in my clothes."
"Nah. I just stay right here thanks."
"No, really."
"No, really. I'll stay right here thanks.
"Come on, leave!" said Lily, now getting angry. She needed to meet Maddie and Kate and he was holding her up and she still need to dress and get ready.
"No, it's really ok. Just pretend I'm not here."
"Fine, your choice," said Lily. She whipped her wand from the side of the shower and muttered "Ropucanio". James was blindfolded and tied up on his ankles and hands. Lily patiently got dressed, put her her in two french braid pigtails and put on some makeup. Twenty minutes later, she undid James and ran out the door for the game.
When James arrived at the game, he was 15 minutes late. He skipped his shower and ran to Proffesor McGonagall.
"James! There you are! You're late!" she shouted.
No really? thought James. "I got held up. I'm really sorry." Then he gave her a dazzling smile.
It didn't work.
"Detention for holding up your team! And ten points from your house."
James glared up at the bleachers, thinking about Lily. She was gonna get it. He was only joking. She's messed with the wrong person.
Lily was chattering away with some other Gryffindors when Peeves starting throwing spitballs in her hair.
"Ahhhh! Quit it!"
"Sorry can't. Head Boy's orders. He cackled and continued to throw spit balls until Mrs. McGonagall glared at him.
Lily threw death glares at the flying James. Two could play this game.
First she turned his broom into a vacuum cleaner which got a few good laughs out of the crowd. Next, she turned his hair a pretty pink. Sirius was laughing so loud he almost fell off his broom. James looked confused until Sirius pointed at his hair. James pointed his wand at Lily and Lily was attacked by furious crows who appeared out of nowhere. Lily was about to throw bowling balls at James head when Madam Pomfrey charmed them both in front of her and ordered he to Dumbledore's office. She put a charm on her voice and it magnified ten times. "This game will be stopped until further notice." The crowds booed. Lily and James groaned. So the school was mad at them, James thought. So we're going to Dumbledore' office, Lily thought. Needless to say, they weren't happy.
Lily and James walked into Dumbledore's office, both shooting death glares at each other. Just a few hours ago, they were peacefully just students together. Now they were promised enemies.
Madam Promfrey greeted Dumbledore then left him with Lily and James. He noted the look on their faces.
"Head Boy and Girl," Dumbledore shook his head although he had a twinkle in his eye.
"I suppose I'm supposed to give you a detention now..."
