A Love Forgotten
By: Mlle. Lupin
They had a special ceremony for Ivy once school started up again. Everyone seemed shook up by the fact that one of Hogwarts students actually was murdered. Classes were cancelled for one day, so that all the students could mourn for Ivy.
But the second classes started up again; everyone shed their mournful state. Even Lucius found a new girlfriend. A tall blonde named Narcissa.
"You know, Lucius's new girlfriend looks a lot like a veela." Sirius said one morning at breakfast. Ariel looked at him like he had gone nutters. "With a really bad nose job." He added quickly.
"You know Lil', I think Severus has a crush on you," Adrienne remarked as she zoned off, "He keeps staring over here at you. He has a dreamy look in his eyes when he sees you."
Lily surpressed a shiver, "Eww I think I just lost my appetite. Thanks Adri."]
"Severus Snape? Severus "The Winker" Snape?"
Adrienne looked at Sirius strangely, "I don't think I want to know what "The Winker" means, but yes I mean Severus Snape."
"Did you hear that Prongs, Snape likes your girl!" Sirius shouted to no one.
"I can't believe he is talking to his nether regions." Ariel muttered.
"Why would he name it Prongs?" Lily wondered aloud.
"Maybe it has a deformity." Adrienne suggested.
Sirius who was listening to the conversation, interrupted, "I'm not talking to that," He said in disgust, "I was talking to James."
"Its name is James?" Lily asked cautiously.
"Nooo," Sirius moaned in frustration, "Your James." He said as he pointed to Lily.
They all must have looked confused because Sirius started to explain…
"James's nickname is Prongs, Remus is Moony, Peter is Wormtail, An I'm Padfoot."
Ariel nodded her head, "That's interesting in all Sirius, But where is James? I haven't seen him all morning."
Sirius shrugged his shoulder, "When I yelled at him, he was talking to Remus, and I guess he didn't hear me."
"Well it's not as though it's important and all," Lily said, "I mean Severus liking me you know."
Sirius let out a strained laugh, "Obviously you haven't paid enough attention to James over the years Lil'." Lily looked at him confusingly.
"James is one protective son of a biatch. If he found out about Severus liking you it would give him a even better reason to hate him."
"Well then we won't have to tell James about Severus liking Lily." Adrienne remarked cheerfully, as she gathered her books.
"Oh yes we will," Sirius said, as he got up to brush breadcrumbs off his robe, "James deserves to know if he has competition."
"Severus Snape is no competition to James." Ariel remarked dryly.
"Yeah, but still…" Sirius trailed of. It was evident that he was going to tell James no matter what the girls said.
"Well the rest of the guys aren't here, so I suppose that we should be going off to Divination without them." Lily said in a disturbed voice.
"Great what are we doing with the Big Bug today?" Sirius asked as he followed the girls out the doors.
"Compatibility with our sign." Adrienne answered almost immediately after Sirius asked the question.
Sirius raised an eyebrow; "I hate how smart you are."
"Your smart too Sirius, you just hate Prof. Trewanly."
Sirius smiled at Adrienne, "And you're too nice." Lily had to agree with him there. Adrienne was way too nice to people. It wasn't that she was a wimp, because Adrienne was very strong and she didn't avoid confrontations. It was just that she saw the goodness in many people.
"I don't want to go up there. It's dark and smells like old people and I fall asleep all the time."
Lily sighed, "Stop complaining Sirius." She said as she climbed up the ladder to the classroom. The perfume and the smoke from the incense weighed down on her and she had to blink before her eyes could focus on her fellow Gryffindors.
"Three to a table." A misty voice called out from behind the curtain. Lily, Adrienne, and Ariel all sat at a table, and Sirius sat to the table next to them.
"Today we will begin with our compatible charts," Prof. Trewanly explained as she stepped out from behind the curtain, "You will find out how you get along with the best and who you should avoid."She continued before her trap door banging open interrupted her. James, Remus, and Peter appeared.
"Boys," Prof. Trewanly said sharply, her magnified eyes glaring at them, " You have disturbed my instructions, go seat yourselves now!"
Lily stared up at James as he walked over to sit with Sirius. He flashed a smile at Lily. She smiled back then quickly turned her head back to listen to the Professors instructions.
"I'll go get the charts." Ariel offered as soon as Prof. Trewanly stopped rambling.
Lily nodded her head and watched Ariel walk off. She heard a scraping noise and turned around to see the guys pulling their chairs over to where the girls were sitting.
"Hey chums." Adrienne said smiling around the table at the guys.
"Have you guys gotten your charts yet?" James asked.
"Right here." Ariel said standing above him as she passed the charts out.
"Well I'm a Sagittarius, so it's no wonder that I'm best friends with James, who is an Aries." Sirius said almost triumphantly.
"Yeah well if James is an Aries and Lily's a Cancer, then that doesn't mesh, Because Aries are impulsive and risk-takers and cancers are cautious and sensitive." Adrienne explained.
"What are you Adri?" Lily asked.
"I'm a Virgo."
"And Remus is a…?"
"I'm a Scorpio."
Sirius looked at his chart, "Virgo's are helpers and have brilliant minds, Scorpio's are secretive and obsessive." Sirius smiled at Adrienne, "Lets just hope someone doesn't develop a crush on you Adri, sounds like Remus might be even worse than James."
James jumped into the conversation, "Yeah, what's this about Severus liking you Lil'?"
"It's nothing really," she said quickly, "Adrienne just observed him staring at me."
James looked at her. His eyes were mixed emotions of worry and fear. Lily didn't know what the fear was for though.
"I knew they would do this to us," James said bitterly, "Their trying to get our minds attached to something else for the game against Ravenclaw."
"How do you know James?" Sirius asked tensely.
"Remus, Peter, and I heard them talking about it this morning. Lucius, Alexis, and Martin were thinking up ideas. Severus must be in their little plan.
"So this means that Adrienne is next." Remus concluded.
"But you're not on the Quiditch team, Remus." Ariel said, her voice full of skepticism.
"Yeah, but if they flirt with Adri, that will get Remus and ourselves upset and we won't concentrate on the game." James explained.
"You guys sound like GI Joe's." Lily said in a humorous tone. But all she got was blank looks from the tactical commanders, so she shut up and tuned out of the guy's high tech conversation. And instead she concentrated on the homework assignments Prof. Trewanly was calling out.
"Paranoia. They are all paranoid."
"I don't know Ariel, I saw Severus staring at me in Potions and all throughout dinner. Not to mention Lucius is staring at Adrienne and Remus is very pissed off." Lily said in a serious voice.
"But doesn't Lucius have a girlfriend? Can't she see him staring at me?"
"She can't see past her own nose, let alone see Lucius staring at your ass, hun."
Adrienne and Lily both raised their eyebrows.
Lily felt James arm snake around her waist. "And how are we ladies doing this evening?" a sugary sweet voice said in Lily's ear. She whipped around to see Martin Flaky, The Slytherin Captain and keeper.
"Keep your arm off me Martin." Lily warned
"Yeah, touch us and you will die." Ariel said boldly.
"What are you going to do about it Lancaster." Lucius asked "Save your friends when you couldn't even save Ivy? Whole lot of good you could do."
That was enough for Ariel to snap. She rushed out at Lucius and took him down. She was standing over him, punching and kicking him. And Lily couldn't believe her eyes when Adrienne rushed forward to grab Ariel away from him. But Alexis and Martin thought she was coming to attack and they yanked her from her hair and threw her back on the ground. Lily rushed over to her.
"Are you ok?" Lily asked her friend
"Yeah, yeah," she said out of breath, "Where's Ariel? Get her off Lucius."
"That's happening right now." Lily muttered as Sirius came out of nowhere and pulled Ariel off Lucius. Ariel escaped from Sirius and ran up to Adrienne and Lily.
"I kicked Lucius's butt. I'm a girl and I kicked his butt!" She was jumping up and down and her bloody nose was running even faster. She stopped jumping when she saw the blood running down Adrienne's head
"What happened Adri?"
"Oh Martin and Alexis pulled my hair back and I fell on the ground."
"Ow" Ariel murmured with a look of pain on her face.
"Oh trust me it doesn't hurt as much as yours does."
Just then Sirius came running up with James, Remus, and Peter all behind him.
"Are you girls ok?" Sirius asked, out of breath, Then he saw Adrienne's cut, "God, Adri what happened?"
"Martin and Alexis pulled me back by my hair and I fell down."
Remus turned around as though to go kick Alexis's and Martin's ass, but James threw an arm across his chest and gave him a look. Adrienne walked up to Remus and laid her head against his chest. "Don't worry about it. Well get them back." She told him reassuringly.
"God, Ariel you get in the most fights out of any girl I know." Sirius said in awe.
"Come on you guys, let's leave before a teacher comes." Peter said, his voice cracking.
"Yeah," Lily said agreeing with Peter, " You two need your sleep for tomorrow's game." She said with a look towards James and Sirius.
Sirius made a face, "I hate going to bed early!"
"I love going to bed early," Adrienne exclaimed, "I love feeling all rested for the day."
Sirius just stared at her, "Your strange Adri." Was all he said before going off with the guys.
"Does that mean he doesn't like me anymore?" Adrienne asked with fake sadness in her voice.
"No Adrienne, it only means that Sirius likes being a dickweed."
Adrienne laughed at the remark and then walked off with her friends towards the guys.
Lily woke up very late the next morning. Her alarm clock failed to go off and her friends didn't awaken her.
She hurriedly put on some clothes and ran out of the dorm and out of the common room to the Great Hall.
"Where's James and Sirius?"
Ariel looked up from her tea, "On the Quiditch field already. Why?"
"We need to go down and watch them play."
"Uh…yeah Lil', but the game doesn't start until 9:00, we still have 15 minute's to go Lil'. What's the rush?"
"There is no rush Remus, I just want to get good seats." Lily said coolly.
"Ok then let's go." Adrienne said picking up her Gryffindor flag.
Lily waited for the small group to assemble outside the door. She watched as Adrienne slipped her hand into Remus's hand. Lily watched as Adrienne looked up and smiled at Remus and he just stared down at her. They are so cute together, she thought, But they are so intense, especially Remus. There like yin and yang total opposites that switch off personalities. I wonder if my friends think the same about James and I.
"You have to leave again tonight!" Lily heard Adrienne exclaim
"Yeah, my father is sick and my mum is off visiting her sister, so I have to go take care of my father." Remus explained to her.
"But tonight's the full moon," Adrienne complained as they stepped into the stadium, "Lily, Ariel, and I were going to look at it up at the Astronomy Tower and we wanted you, Sirius, Peter, and James to come with us."
Remus smiled apologetically at her, "I'm sorry."
Adrienne smiled back, "Don't be," she said before yelling, "James! Sirius!"
Lily looked around the corner and saw them coming towards her. James came up to her and gave her a kiss on the forehead.
"Make sure you don't get hit by a bludger again this time." She advised him.
"Hey, wasn't my fault," he said holding his hands up defensively, "If Romeo over there wasn't busy smiling at his fan club he could've caught it."
"Hey Jimbo, Sirius said sarcastically, "Don't get jealous on me now."
"Hey, you guys had better go now, the stadium is starting to fill up."
As James and Sirius started walking away, Lily heard Sirius exclaim, "It's colder than a witch's tit in a brass bra!"
Lily just shook her head and climbed up the stairs to the top of the stadium.
The game against Ravenclaw started out pretty normal. Gryffindor scored in the first 20 seconds and continued that way. By the first 30 minute's Gryffindor was up 40 to 10. James scored most of the points and Sirius was hitting the ball with such force that it gave one of the Ravenclaw Chasers a broken nose.
But Lilly's excitement wasn't coming from the game. But more or less where she was sitting. Ariel was up on her feet yelling at every Ravenclaw beater that hit a bludger towards James, and she cheered for Sirius when he almost hit a Ravenclaw. The things that Ariel called the beaters were humorous enough despite the yelling.
Adrienne was sitting in Remus's lap making little happy noises when James scored points. But she did show more action when Ethan Prowler hit a bludger in Sirius's direction and it collided with his broom making him spin out of whack. She yelled obscenities so loud that Prof. McGonagall told her personally on the speakers to stop yelling.
But everyone on the Gryffindor side had to cheer when, Bradley Colin, the Gryffindor seeker, spotted the snitch all the way on the top row, on the Ravenclaw side. Bradley was in the middle of the field while the other seeker was by the Gryffindor stands. Bradley sprinted over to the Ravenclaw side, tons of people jumping headfirst into the laps of the people in front of them to avoid Bradley and his broom.
By the time the Ravenclaw seeker knew what was happening, it was to late, Bradley already had the fluttering snitch in his hands. Masses of crimson people ran out onto the field to congratulate the team. But Lily and all her friends started to go back up to the castle. Lily knew they would never make it down in time to see James and Sirius, soo they decided they would just see them at the party in the common room.
By the time the party ended it was 10:30 p.m. The party was loud and festive, but Prof. McGonagall decided to end the part a little shorter then a lot of people wanted. But Lily was glad it ended, because she desperately wanted to sleep. But the second her head hit the pillow, she was awoken by Adrienne.
"Do you still want to come with me to the tower to look at the moon or would you rather sleep?" she asked.
"No, no, I'm coming." Lily said to her. Lily loved looking at the moon. It brought her such peacefulness. "Where's Ariel?" Lily asked Adrienne.
"Oh, she's getting the guys. We're meeting her in the common room." Adrienne explained to Lily as they walked down the winding stairs.
By the time they got down to the common room Ariel was already there, but with no boys.
"Where are they?" Lily asked Ariel.
Ariel shrugged her shoulders. "Already up there I guess."
So Lily, Adrienne, and Ariel trekked up all the stairs to the Astronomy Tower. But as soon as they opened the door, to their surprise there was no one in there.
"Their probably out pulling pranks," Adrienne said, as she put her telescope up to the sky," They always go on night time mischief." Adrienne glanced at Ariel, whose telescope was pointed to the ground, "Ariel, the moon's in the sky." She said gently
But when Ariel looked up, she looked horrified. She pointed towards the ground and Both Lily and Adrienne swiveled their telescopes to the ground.
Lily was looking all around the grounds until the telescope rested on the Whomping Willow and beneath it was two shapes that looked a lot like James and Sirius. And in a couple of seconds Lily was certain it was James and Sirius. She kept on watching them until she saw no more of James and Sirius, because in their spots was a huge, shaggy, black dog and a handsome, white stag.
"Holy shit!" She heard Ariel mutter.
She continued to watch as, what Lily thought was a rat, go poke something on the Willow, then scamper back, as a huge werewolf came out. The werewolf, dog, and stag seemed to regard each other for a second, before running off into the forest together.
Lily pulled her face from the telescope and stared at Ariel and Adrienne. "My boyfriend is an Animagus, along with Sirius, and I think the rat is Peter. Not to mention they are running around with a werewolf."
"How do you know it's a werewolf and not a regular wolf?"
"Werewolves and regular wolves have some differences. The one we just saw was definitely a werewolf."
"But what I don't get is, where did the werewolf come from?" Ariel inquired.
Adrienne's face broke the deep thought plaster and her face became eerily calm. "Meet my boyfriend," she whispered, "Remus Lupin the werewolf." Then Lily watched in horror as she fainted
