Whatever the Future May Hold]
Birds of Paradise
Lily giggled at Remus's remark and agreed with him as did Sirius and James that the yellow table really did look stoned.
**************************************************************************** ****
Lily remembered well how they had each been called up to the hat after its song, to get sorted…
**************************************************************************** ****
"Black, Sirius" Called out the teacher. He jumped up and practically jogged to the stage.
McGonagall smiled as the youngster fidgeted on his seat.
She placed the hat on his head and almost instantly it screamed out "GRYFFINDOR!"
He smiled a mischievous grin and ran to sit beside his brother, Joshua, at the Gryffindor table; he ruffled his already shaggy hair.
"Crouch, Bartemis" shortly after became a Slytherin.
"Evans, Lily?" Called up Professor McGonagall, hesitantly.
Lily sidled up to the stage, stepped up the stairs gracefully and sat down on the stool.
McGonagall came up and placed the large hat on her head. It fell down over her eyes, and everything went black.
"Hmm… You are a sweet little thing then? Very kind and passionate about what you love… You would do well in Ravenclaw? But wait here is a very brave heart. Your heart, Lily shows ever so much about you… And you wish to be with Mr. Black and Potter? Hmm Mr. Potter…?" It asked gently.
"Err…Yes please…" She thought quietly…
"Yes, my dear, you must take care of them… They will need your help with a great many things… And don't be fussy, go along with them and enjoy yourself… You will make a fantastic GRYFFINDOR!" He said, shouting the last word to the whole of the room.
An explosion of cheers erupted from the table in the center. Its colors were deep red and a shining gold. She smiled uncertainly and steeped gently down onto the stage floor, walking over to the table and taking a seat. McGonagall resumed calling out the names
"Featherbloom, Jacob"- "Gryffindor
"Figg, Arabella"-"Gryffindor"
"Granger, Ella"-, a girl with long, shining blonde hair and bright green, no wait, violet, uhuh… Green? Eyes? They kept changing… She swiftly became a "Gryffindor"
"Groom, Bethany"-"Hufflepuff"- (a/n Nard- Beth from Groom Park?)
"Hayden, Paul"-"Ravenclaw"
"Hutchinson, Rachel"- "Ravenclaw"
"Jacobson, Greta"- "Slytherin"
"Lupin, Remus" she said, avoiding his eyes as he stepped up onto the stage. He quickly put the hat on over his tired face.
After a minute or so, it called out "Gryffindor" He said, quite happily, and yet, quite relieved. And he took up his place, next to Lily and Sirius.
"Malfoy, Lucius"-"Slytherin"
"Nettle, John"-" Hufflepuff "
"Pettigrew, Peter" She called out as a fat little boy, waddled up onto the stage… He was quickly announced Slytherin… And took his place amidst polite clapping.
"Prewett, Isabelle"- "Slytherin"
"Ponting, Richard"- "Ravenclaw"
"Rush, Siobhan"- "Gryffindor"
"Shader, Jasmine"- "Ravenclaw"
"Snape, Severus" she called. Remus and Sirius pointed and jeered, telling James and Lily that was who Sirius had *cough cough* politely dealt with.
"Thomas, Sam"- "Hufflepuff"
"Violet, Rosemary" (a/n hehe- you have a funny name!)-"Gryffindor"
The sorting finished with a small girl, with curly, almost black hair and glittering blue eyes…"Rosalie Wyrd" Being named a "Gryffindor"
**************************************************************************** ****
Rosalie and Ella Granger had quickly become her best friends, along with James, Sirius and Remus of course. They had grown through the years. They soon became the most popular people in the school, and, the most sought after. They were constantly being asked out. The girls each had their eye on someone though.
(Lily's P.O.V)
I could remember one time vividly, above all the rest….
**************************************************************************** ****
Rosy had suddenly come running into our dorm, her hair bouncing, her pale blue skirt- grass stained, her white peasant top with dirt all over it. She was laughing happily, she had obviously gone and done some prank on someone, pranking was her life, or else she had been on the quidditch pitch. She bolted for us and hid behind us. Suddenly Sirius came running into the dorm, puffing, but still laughing. He spotted her and pulled her out from behind us and began tickling her. She squirmed and squealed happily. Giggling like mad. Suddenly Sirius stopped tickling her and stared at her.
"What is wrong Si?" Asked Rosy sweetly.
"Err…Nothin' " he said quietly. He suddenly burst out laughing, picked her up and slung her over his shoulder and started walking down the stairs again.
Rosalie started beating his back, laughing so hard that she couldn't speak.
"LET ME DOWN SIRIUS BLACK OR SO HELP ME I WILL DO SOMETHING TO YOU THAT I WILL PROBABLY REGRET!!!" She screamed (good-naturedly of course).
She laughed when they came down into the empty common room. It was almost eleven o'clock on a Saturday so most people were down at Hogsmeade. This was the first time that every grade was allowed to go. So almost everyone had gone, including James and Remus, they were due back any second. He pulled her back into his arms, so that she was cradled, quite like a baby…
"Sirius Black, that is not fair, I haven't got half the strength of you!" She said, starting to relax in his arms.
"Uh huh…" He said, looking into her sparkling blue eyes. He let her slip down gently, so that she was standing up.
"Rosy…"
"Mmm?" She said, her hands placed on is chest, her face turned towards his…
"I really like you…" He said softly.
"Sirius?" She said quietly.
"I'm sorry, you just had to know…" He said sadly.
She smiled evilly… and looked into his eyes.
She leant in slightly her breath on his lips. He couldn't control himself much longer though. He leant in swiftly. He kissed her sweetly. She kissed back. His heart soared. As did hers.
She suddenly pulled away.
He looked at her, his eyes showing hurt, no girl had ever done that to him.
