A Never Ending Tale
Disclaimer: Same old, same old, nothing's mine…everything that sound familiar is J.K.'s, and I'm copying everything from her because I'm too stupid to have my own story…but Peter's twin is mine!!
A/N: Waz up? Thanks to people who reviewed! As I promised, the Hogsmeade trip is here, and so is the rescuing of Snape in Lily's POV, and so is Peter's twin. Anyways, I'm blabbing, so…ON WITH THE STORY!!
A month had passed since that event with the invisibility cloak, but Lily's attitude to Potter was still the same, if only, worse.
"We're going to Hogsmeade today!!" said Arabella.
"Oh, wow," Lily said sarcastically.
"Why?" Arabella exclaimed. "I love Hogsmeade trips!
"I don't," Lily stated. "It seems that every time I go, Sirius and James always blow up our bus!"
"Oh, please," Arabella said. "It seems as if everything revolves around them!! You know, the way you keep talking about them, it seems as if u actually like one of them!"
"No!" Lily said and threw a pillow playfully at Arabella's head.
And so began a pillow fight that soon involved all the Gryffindor girls…and got them detentions from McGonagall, of course…
After double potions with the Slytherins, the school was able to visit the village of Hogsmeade.
"Mmm!" Lily exclaimed. "I love butterbeer!!!"
They were walking around the village.
"It seemed that it was only hours ago that you were saying how you…"
But Arabella was interrupted by a shriek coming from Peter Pettigrew's twin sister, Jessabelle Pettigrew. While Peter was unpopular, ugly, fat, and a scardy-cat, Jessa was pretty, brave, popular, and adventurous, whose role model was Sirius Black. But right now, Jessa was screaming her head off.
"What's the matter, Jessa?" Lily said.
"Do NOT go in there!!" Jessa shrieked, pointing to the Shrieking Shack, which was in front of them.
The villagers said that they heard screams coming from spirits and ghosts that live in the Shrieking Shack; they claimed that it was haunted and everyone was too scared to find out what really made those sounds.
"What happened?" Bella said.
"OMG!!" Jessa said frantically. "Well, stupid me, after being dared to go in the Shrieking Shack, I went and the sounds were so horrible!"
"I thought you were braver than that!" Lily said. "You heard sounds and you just ran screaming your head off?!"
"Well…" Jessa said, obviously embarrassed.
"I'm going in!" Lily said.
"No No No No…NOO!!" Arabella exclaimed. "Are you crazy?"
"Yes, I am," Lily said firmly. "And no matter what you say, I'm going in!"
"No!", Arabella tried again, but she knew that whenever Lily made up her mind to do something, she did it. "Why?"
"Because I have a pretty good guess that the Marauders are being this!" Lily exclaimed. "I'm going to prove it!"
"OMG! This is all because of your hatred to James Potter?!" Arabella said, shaking her head disapprovingly.
"Basically", Lily made her way to the Shrieking Shack.
Arabella ran after her and said, "I'm coming with you!"
"No!" it was Lily's turn to say.
"Yes! If anything happens to you, I'll be there", Arabella said loyally.
"I'm coming, too!" Jessa said.
"No—" Lily started to say, but was interrupted by Jessa.
"I started this whole thing, so I'm coming!" she said.
"So you either stay here, or we go!" Arabella said to Lily.
"Fine!!" Lily exclaimed. "Let's go!"
*~*~*~*~*~*
With Lily at the lead, the Jessa, then Arabella, the girls crept across the overgrown garden to the front door of the house.
Lily was just about to open it when Jessa interrupted her.
"It's locked," she said.
Lily tried the doorknob. It didn't budge.
"How did you know that?" Arabella inquired.
"Err, I, er…" Jessa fumbled. "I tried to get in from this door when, I, um, heard the howling"
"Great!" Lily said sarcastically. It was very dark and the only light they had was the glow of the full moon. "How can we find an entrance in this place?"
"Oh!" Arabella interrupted. "There's a window here!" She was beginning to get very excited in the idea of an adventure…or maybe it was just the full moon. "It's open!"
Lily, who was very pleased at Arabella's discovery, was just about to peek in the window when Jessa spoke.
"Come on, Lily, Arabella", she said frantically. "Don't go in, who knows what's in there? It's probably very dangerous…James isn't in there…and if he is, it's really none of your business. He's not worth risking your life for! Don't go!" She sounded very afraid and anxious, very unlike her usual self.
" You sound like an old puss," Lily said. "What happened to bold, adventurous, Jessabelle Pettigrew?" she looked up and said, "It must be the full moon!"
Then they heard a sound that frightened them out of their wits.
It was a long, agonizing howl.
There was a very long silence after that.
"What was that?" said Arabella at the same time Jessa said:
"I told you so!"
"Shush!" Lily exclaimed. Instead of frightening her away, the sound only increased her curiosity and mad her want to go to the Shrieking Shack even more.
So the impetuous Lily started to climb the window.
"Don't!" Jessa warned her, but it was too late; the last thing she saw was Lily's auburn hair disappearing from sight.
Arabella moved towards the window.
"Not you, too!" Jessa exclaimed.
Arabella turned to Jessa and said "Sorry, but she's one of my best friends besides you, and I can't let her go alone out her by herself!"
"Fine! I'll go, too," Jessa exclaimed as she watched this time Arabella's black curly crop vanish under the window, and she climbed after Arabella.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Lily jumped off the window and looked around.
(A/N And I quote) It was a room, a very disordered, dusty room. Paper was peeling from the walls; there were stains all over the floor; every piece of furniture was broken as if somebody smashed it. The windows were all boarded up, except for one. (A/N There! That's exactly from PoA, so no one can sue me!!!)
But the thing that caught her eyes the most was a thing in the middle of the room—an animal, that resembled a dog, but was taller, fiercer, shaggier…a werewolf!
Lily backed against the wall in shock, and she was in the shadow, out of sight. She heard Arabella jump off from the window and land beside her.
"Omg!" Bella gasped. "That's not…omg…"
Jessa appeared at the scene also.
"Yup! That's a werewolf," she whispered. "I told you not to come in!"
"Shush!" Lily commanded, because she saw a hole across the room that looked like it was a tunnel.
Arabella started walking towards it and the other girls followed, taking care to stay in the shadows.
Then Lily saw a figure in the tunnel: a small figure, about Lily's height…a boy… "Oh. No!" Lily thought, recognizing the silhouette. "Arabella, Jessa", she said out loud. "Severus Snape!" she gestured at the tunnel.
Meanwhile, the werewolf was edging towards the tunnel…
"Oh, no!" whispered Arabella. "He wants to eat Snape!"
"I hate Snape," Lily said. "But I'm not going to have him eaten by an overgrown werewolf!!"
So, fearless Lily, who never stopped to think before leaping, jumped out of the shadows and yelled "YOO-HOO!"
The werewolf turned around, and was no longer interested in Snape.
Instead, he started chasing after Lily, who was running around the room, yelling, "You can't catch me!!"
The werewolf tried, and tried, but couldn't catch her, though, more than once, came very close to ripping her to pieces. He grew very dizzy and finally stopped, thinking it would probably be easier catching the boy.
"Hey!" Lily protested. "Where are you going?!", when she saw the werewolf moving dangerously towards Snape, who was very close to the entrance to the room.
Lily did what came to her mind first: she ran towards the werewolf, grabbed his neck fur, and started to pull him away from the tunnel. As she did so, she saw another figure snatching Snape away from the tunnel, too, but she only saw him for a minute because the werewolf started to go crazy in her arms.
The girls, who had been paralyzed ever since Lily started running around the room, finally recovered from their shock and started to hold back the werewolf, also.
The beast started to howl, and he was trying to bite Lily, but instead scratched her tender cheek with one of his claws, cutting open the flesh.
This caused Lily to howl in pain, and the werewolf took this as a chance to bite her.
He opened his mouth and…
Lily, who saw the werewolf's actions, took a step back, and stepped on something, making her fall and hit her head on the floor. The "something" she had stepped on was a rat, which skittered across the room.
Arabella and Jessa were on the act of pulling the werewolf when he turned around and started clawing at the girls, too.
Lily stood up, with much difficulty and staggered towards the girls, desperate to help them.
Then she heard footsteps, but they didn't sound human, more like…animals…
And, as Lily had guessed, two animals came bounding across the room. One was a big, shaggy black dog, and the other was a silver stag, as beautiful as the moon itself. Both animals rushed at the werewolf, and started wrestling with it.
"Oh, no!" Lily said for the second time that evening. "Stop! He's going to kill both of you!"
At the sound of her voice, the stag stopped its work and turned to Lily. Lily met his brown eyes and melted in them; they were so warm, so comforting, yet so refreshing… "They remind me of someone else's eyes", Lily thought.
The deer galloped towards her and gestured towards his back.
Lily slung her legs over his body and rode over him, thinking that it was what he was saying. It probably was, because he made no sound, only to turn back and look at Jessa.
Jessa took this as some king of signal, and said to Arabella "Go with him! I'll be all right here! Go on!"
"How did Jessa understand what he was saying?" Lily wondered in her mind, but she put aside the thought.
Obedient Arabella followed the stag and walked alongside the deer and Lily.
They started walking into the dark tunnel.
While she rode, Lily was aware of how warm the stag was. He seemed to glow and was the only glow they had in the dark, gloomy tunnel.
Lily began to ponder what had just happened. "What is a werewolf doing at Hogsmeade and so near Hogwarts?" she thought. "And who was that person who pulled back Severus Snape? And speaking of Snape, why was he there and how did he know that there was a tunnel leading to the Shrieking Shack? And where is this stag taking me?…" Lily felt very overwhelmed by her problems and unanswerable questions.
They emerged from the tunnel and saw the Hogwarts castle. Lily and Arabella turned around and they saw where they came from.
"The Whomping Willow!" they both said at the same time with shock.
The Whomping Willow was a very dangerous tree; its branches whipped around in the air and any object the came close to it was cracked under the tree's moving leaves and branches. But tonight, the Whomping Willow was still, and not a single leaf moved.
The stag was running towards the castle and Arabella ran to catch up.
The three of them burst through the front door, and the sight that met them was of Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Professor Morgain—the DADA teacher—and all of the staff's surprised faces.
The silver deer dropped Lily into the Headmaster's arms and Arabella crashed into Professor Morgain's open arms.
Dumbledore signaled to Madame Pomfrey and her daughter Poppy, the assistant nurse (A/N who later becomes the Madame Pompfrey we know). Madame Pompfrey conjured two stretchers and they laid Lily on one and Arabella on the other.
The stag turned around and galloped out of Hogwarts, leaving some of the teachers to gape at him in wonder.
Lily and Arabella were taken to the hospital wing.
Suddenly, the door burst open once more, only to reveal the flushed faces of three very excited looking boys, and a very tired looking girl. They were, of course, James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter and Jessa Pettigrew.
"Err, hullo, Professors!" Sirius said cheerfully and the four of them broke into a run, only to be stopped by Professor McGonagall.
"I think you have some explaining to do," she said firmly.
"Aaw!" Professor Morgain, known as Adrienne to her students, said sweetly, "I'm sure they're all very tired. Let them go, please, just this once, Minerva…"
She was stopped by an icy glare from McGonagall, who turned once again to the boys and said "Go on".
They all started talking at the same time.
"We were at Zonko's," said Sirius.
"We were sipping butterbeers in Honeydukes," said Peter (A/N this fellow does have a mind after all…::*cringes*::()
"We got lost in the Forbidden Forest," added James.
"We were at Hagrid's!!" exclaimed Jessa.
The four teenagers looked at each other and realized their mistakes.
"We-ell," Sirius said sheepishly. "We were at Zonko's, then we went to Honeydukes and sipped butterbeers, and somehow, we ended up in the Forbidden Forest and got lost, and then we found Hagrid's hut and went in!…So! Great day we've been having, huh, Professors??"
The professors were smirking at each other and grinning foolishly.
"Very interesting," said McGonagall. "So where were you really, Mr. Black and Company?"
"Sirius scratched his head, very much like a dog.
The others, who were afraid of talking all at once, like before, instead remained utterly silent. They remained like that for a while until James finally spoke:
"We were at Hagrid's until we saw this silver stag carrying a girl, with another girl beside him, and we were so curious, and besides, it was very late already, and…well, here we are."
The others smiled and all nodded eagerly.
Professor McGonagall seemed to doubt their tale, but nodded, nonetheless.
Professor Morgain took this nod as a signal and said, "You must be very tired, go to bed now, children!" and as she said so, she looked at the Headmaster as if for permission.
He merely nodded his head and the "children" trekked up the stairs.
"You honestly believe them, Professor McGonagall inquired, gazing after the retreating figures.
Albus Dumbledore gave no response, except for the playful twinkle in his eye.
A/N so, what did you guys think about the adventure Lily had? How about Jessa Pettigrew and Professor Morgain? Do you think I made Lily or McGonagall too mean?? Next chapter: Lily's questions will be answered and find out who Remus has a crush on and who Sirius likes!!!! R/R!!!!
