Chapter 8: Thineself and Fights
"These schedules really stink!" Lily said looking down at hers.
"I didn't know parchment could smell!" Sirius said looking quite surprised. He then bent down to sniff it. "Hey! They don't stink they smell quite good."
"That's not what I meant." Lily said exasperated.
James looked at her as if she was crazy, "But that is what you said."
"But it is just an expression."
"What do you mean by just an expression?" Sirius asked.
"Gosh, you guys are so dense!"
"Dense? When did our density change? I thought it was still the same as it was yesterday. Why would our density make a difference?" James said in bewilderment.
"Jeeze! I'm going to wake up your intelligent sister, okay Sirius?"
"Intelligent? Her? Does she have a twin I should know about?" Sirius asked.
"Yeah, you" James said pointedly.
"Really are you saying I'm intelligent? That is quite nice of you."
James rolled his eyes "No I was saying that if there actually was an intelligent one between you and Tempest it would have to be a triplet."
"So, that would make Tempest the youngest one right? Saying that I am older then her."
Lily looked between the two of them "Why does it make a difference about who's older? You were born on the same day."
"Yeah but I was born at 1:19 and she was born at 1:21 two minute difference. Which is why I'm always ahead of her. " He looked at Lily as if she were an idiot for not knowing that fact.
"It's just a couple of differences. Why does it matter?"
"Well I'd like you to know that I'm almost always ahead of her by two. Last year, in the muggle school we went to I got as 4.0 GPA and she only got a 3.8 and on this test in history I got a 96% and she got a 93.9% which rounded up would be 94%. So HA!" Sirius said grinning wickedly.
"Whoa wait a second. Did you say a muggle school?" Lily asked confused.
James rolled his eyes again "Their Mum couldn't handle the two of them together all the time." James paused for a second before adding, "Oh, I guess I was over there a lot too but that doesn't make a difference. Anyways she got put up with their fighting all the time and the pranks they pulled on each other and their quidditch playing which usually ended up with blood all over the place. So, she sent them to the muggle school."
"Yeah, but" Sirius said with a grin "We got expelled. The Headmaster said that he couldn't put up with us anymore because he had to change us to different teachers because we'd start a fight and then Fist would get involved. It was never very nice of Fist."
"Who's Fist?" Lily asked wondering who on earth would name their child that.
James grinned quite evilly "He was a kid down the street who could never keep quiet during a fight and always had to join in, and he always used his fists to fight so we nicknamed him Fist. Sometimes we'd be walking down the street arguing and he'd always join in with his fists. I don't think we ever knew his name."
"Well that was quite nice of you." Lily said sarcastically.
Sirius grinned sweetly or what he thought to be sweet "Yes, we know."
"Anyways I better go wake up Tempest."
"Nah, let her sleep she'll be so happy with the way McGonagall acts when she walks into the room that she won't even notice that we forgot to wake her, I'm positive about this." Sirius said.
Lily rolled her eyes and walked off towards her dormitory.
James and Sirius continued their conversation after she left but a boy soon joined them, at least in his second year came up to them.
"So, are you James Potter?" The boy had dark sandy blond hair and bright blue eyes asked.
James looked up "Nope. Why'd want to know?"
" 'Cause I know your brothers." The boy said not giving up that this was James.
"Nope don't have a brother. Maybe a sister, but not a brother, at least not one that I claim."
"Yep that sounds like Jack and Joe." The boy said and Sirius finally realized that the boy had to be from Ireland with the Irish accent he had.
James finally started paying attention, actually interested, "How'd you know them?"
"Oh so your finally admitting it?" The boy said with a grin that lighted up his eyes.
"No, I just asked how you l knew Jack and Joe Potter. You may read into it all you want."
The boy grinned "Anyways they talked me into a prank my first year. They were seconds and came up and started talking to me. It was my second week and I only had a couple of friends and that was about all the people I knew. Anyways, they gave me a big black bottle and told me to put it into Professor McGonagalls glass of Pumpkin Juice. It was during class that I found out it was gin and that a drunk professor is worse then a sober one."
James grinned "Oh so you're Thineself."
"Yep, how'd you know my name?" Thineself asked.
"Well you see, the brothers that I don't claim that you accused me of having told me about you."
Thineself grinned again before saying "I better go."
Sirius looked at James "Okay that was a little weird."

"I figured it out." Lily shouted waking Tempest, who had been asleep.
Tempest rolled over and glared at Lily as she said "What?"
"Why your parents named you Tempest of course!" Lily said with a grin in her eye.
"Why's that?" Tempest mumbled deciding it was probably a waste of her time and rolled back over half asleep by the time Lily answered.
"Because your room looks like a tempest hit it!" Lily said in a singsong voice grinning broadly.
Tempest had taken the effort of rolling over again and glared "Ha, ha, ha very funny."
"I thought so." Lily said "And you do know this is our first real day at Hogwarts, right?" Lily asked.
"Of course I know that." Tempest said her voice muffled slight from where she was trying to sleep face first into her pillow for a change but it looked like she was really trying to suffocate herself.
Lily smirked at the scene. "Well you don't act like it."
"Why do you say that?" Tempest asked her voice slightly non-muffled since she had raised it to the slightest degree.
"Because we've got two minutes before we've got five more minutes before class."
"Huh?" Tempest asked glaring at Lily again.
"You've got seven minutes." Lily said slightly smirking again as Tempest rolled out of her bed fully dressed. Her smirked faded slightly as she said, "You slept with your clothes on?"
"No." Tempest said sarcastically "It's just a figment of your imagination."
"Really? I didn't know that." Lily said amusedly.
"Yeah right, anyways why didn't you wake me sooner?' Tempest asked.
"You told me that you wanted to sleep five more minutes, that was five minutes ago. And five minutes before that you said you wanted to sleep five more minutes and that was ten minutes and about thirty minutes before that you said you wanted to sleep a little longer, so I went down and had breakfast with the idiotic boys that are in our year that don't ever pay attention." Lily looked down at her watch. "That was actually seven minutes ago actually. Anyways you better hurry you only have four minutes in 30 seconds plus two minutes. On and our first class is Transfigurations."
"Oh, that's all right them." Tempest said, "I can be late for that class."
"What're you talking about? You can't be late for McGonagall's class. She'd kill you!" Lily nearly shouted in shock.
"Hey, no need to get touchy, and McGonagall is the teacher of Transfiguration." Tempest said slowly as though Lily was extremely dimwitted.
"I know that's what I said." Lily said starting to get angry.
"No you didn't, you said we had Decapitation first." Tempest said calmly.
"No, I didn't. I said TRANSFIGURATION with McGonagall was first." Lily was saying.
"Why didn't you say so in the first place? We're going to be late. Gosh Lily I thought you were nicer then that." Tempest said quite aggravated.
"But I did." Lily started to say.
"Don't argue with me, no time. Now where's my wand? Oh, what were you saying Lily?' Tempest asked while rummaging through her trunk.
Lily rolled her eyes for what seemed like the millionth time that day, "I was saying I did tell you we had," Lily started but got cut of by an outraged scream."
"Oh, I'm going to kill that brother of mine." Tempest yelled, "Look what he did to my wand!" Lily looked and could see exactly what she was talking about. There was bright pink bubble-gum stuck to her wand making it stick to the trunk.
"How do you know that it was him?" Lily asked.
"Are you hinting at something Lily?" Tempest asked evilly.
"No, I was just commenting." Lily said, "Why would I be hinting at something, or anything for that matter? Plus it could've been James."
"I don't know, maybe because you may have played some part in it." Tempest said.
"And why might I ask, would I want to do that to you?" Lily asked edgily "And why would I want to waste my time on you?'
"Fine" Tempest said.
"Fine!" Lily barked, resembling a dog.
"Fine" Tempest yelled this time, trying to get the last word.
"Fine, don't talk to me any more, I don't even like you!" Lily yelled at Tempest knowing full well she didn't mean it, and didn't know why she'd said it in the first place. When she looked at Tempest she had an extremely hurt look on her face. Then suddenly it just left and Lily couldn't even tell what Tempest was thinking.
Fine if she wants to be that way, then I just won't talk to her until she apologizes, Tempest was thinking to her self. She walked out the door, slamming it in Lily's face. She looked at her watch. She only had 30 seconds to get to the classroom. Now look what she did she made me late for class.
Right as Tempest sat down in her seat the bell rang.
"Hey Tempest, where's Lily?" Sirius asked.
"Oh, that insufferable know-it-all? I have no idea why don't you ask someone who's actually friends with her. But, then again who is friends with her? And how can they stand that insistent chattering? Tempest said mildly.
About a minute later Lily ran into the room. McGonagall looked at her sharply, "Miss Evans are you going to make it a habit this year of coming to class late?"
"No, Professor," Lily said quite ashamed of herself.
"Well then, five points from Gryffindor since it is the first day." McGonagall said.
Lily bowed her head in shame and walked towards the only empty chair at the front, which was next to James and Sirius, and two chairs away from Tempest.
"Okay, now..."
