A/N: Hello everyone, I'm not in a good mood right now. We lost our
basketball game 49-23 and I fouled out, but that's not what I'm sad about.
I'm sad because the last foul I got was an "intentional" foul, which it
wasn't, I tripped, I fell, I touched her foot. I can't help it if she was
half my size, the coach sent me in as a guard! Even though I can't
dribble, and am one of the taller people… But anyway, the upsetting part
was that the referee said in a really mean voice, "That's an intentional
foul, you big screw-up!" He was evil. Before, this girl was just standing
there with the ball above her head and I smacked it away and the ref goes
"We play defense with our feet, not with our hands." What was I supposed
to do, pirouette around her until she fell down laughing at my
ungracefulness (is that even a word?)? Enough of my depressed ranting, on
to the fic!
AN: Hi! Yes, I started writing this like four months ago, but then a lot of stuff interfered. (*cough* Science Fair *cough*) and then I got writer's block. As I don't really have a plot yet, I figured I'd just continue this way until I thought of one. Hope you don't mind.
Oh, and thanks to lily potter and naavi, for being the only ones to review my fic so far. Thanks a bunch!
Best Friends Forever
1 Chapter 3: Another Run-in with an Evil Git
Lily woke up extra early on September 1st. There was a funny feeling in the pit of her stomach. But when she thought about the fact that she already had three wonderful friends, she cheered up immensely. That's when she heard a strange tapping noise on the window. What could that be? she thought. She dragged herself out of her nice warm bed and over to the window. She tugged it open and stuck her head out underneath the curtains. That's when she was smacked in the face by a wet fish. "Owww." Looking down, she saw Sirius, with a half-grinning, half-sheepish look on his face. "What was that for?" she asked.
"I was trying to get your attention."
"You're supposed to throw small stones at the window, not herring! And you're definitely not supposed to hit me in the face, you big goofball!"
"Whoops! Sorry!" But the look on Sirius' face, the one of fiendish glory, told Lily exactly how sorry he was.
"What do you want, Sirius?" She sighed.
"I wanted to know if you're ready. My parents and I are coming to Kings' Cross with you today."
"Oh. Yup, I'm almost ready. Give me a sec." She moved out of Sirius' line of vision. A minute later, she reappeared, carrying all her things. She dropped them one by one out the window, and then she herself jumped from the sill.
"Lily!" Sirius cried, running forward to try to catch her. He was too late, she'd already hit the ground.
"Honestly, Sirius, I don't know what your problem is! My windowsill is only three feet off the ground! It's not as if I could get hurt even if I tried." Lily cried, exasperated.
"Oh, yeah. Hehe, whoops." He said sheepishly.
"Come on, help me with my things." Lily commanded. She and Sirius dragged all of Lily's things
*********
Sirius and Lily were standing in front of the barrier between platforms 9 and 10. "You want me to what?" Lily screeched.
People turned to look at them. "It's ok folks, my sister's not right in the head. Come on sis, let's get on the nice platform" Sirius informed the crowd. He led her a little ways away. "You have to walk right through the barrier." He explained patiently, for the second time. He didn't realize that Lily's was turning a dangerous shade of red until he was smacked upside the head very hard.
"Sirius Black. If you ever, ever, do something like that to me ever again, I will not be held accountable for the consequences." She hissed through clenched teeth. At his slightly befuddled look, she said, exasperated more than angry no, "In layman's terms that means 'Mess with me, and you get several teeth knocked out.'"
"Of course, Lady Lily. I wouldn't think of it! Would someone such as myself ever purposefully inflict the wrath of you upon myself? I think not!"
"Come on, you big idiot. We have to go before we miss the train." She replied, dragging him through the barrier.
**********
The two of them dragged their trunks into an empty compartment at the end of the train. Then they headed outside to look for James and Remus. "Oy! James! Remus! Get your sorry bums over here!" Sirius shouted as his two best friends came through the barrier.
Lily smacked him upside the head. "Watch your mouth Sirius!" She berated him. He glared at her. She glared back, daring him to say something nasty. He looked away.
"Er, I mean, James! Remus! Lovely to see you, chaps, simply spiffin'!" He said, in a way that only Sirius ever could.
Lily rolled her eyes. "Hello, boys. We've saved a compartment for ourselves. Come on."
Lily and Sirius helped Remus and James with their trunks. They trooped to the end compartment.
They spent the ride telling Lily about all of the Houses and having debates over which quidditch teams were the best. They were in the middle of a heated discussion of the outcome of the World Cup when there was a knock on the compartment door. Lily hopped up and slid it open to find that a kindly witch pushing a cart filled with food, mostly candy and sweets. "Would you like some, dears?"
Sirius gave her his trademark Marauder grin. "We'll have a bit of everything, won't we mates?"
There was a chorus of "Yup!"s from the rest of the group. They spilt the cost of the food and then pigged out. Every now and then, one of them would warn Lily about a sweet ("When they say Every Flavor, they mean every flavor.") They had all changed into their robes when it was announced that they would be arriving at Hogwarts within an hour.
There was a second knock on the door, only this time, before Lily could open it, it slid open and Lily was face to face with Lucious Malfoy. "Oh, it's you." She said, in a disgusted voice.
He took her hand, kissed it, and said in what was obviously meant to be a sexy voice, but wasn't, "I think we started off on the wrong foot. Let's start over. My name is Lucious Malfoy."
"And I am an enraged hippopotamus that lives in the river Nile, but is really the reincarnated goddess of psychiatric monkeys. Terrible to meet you, have a horrid day." She replied with a straight face.
"You'll regret making an enemy of me, you filthy Mudblood! This I swear!" He shrieked.
"No, it's you who will regret making an enemy of me, Lucy. Now go away, I need to disinfect my hand because you touched it." She said, turning around. He lunged for her, but she expected this. She whirled around, kicking him in…um…a, how shall I put this, a tender spot. "Now. Get. Out." She hissed through her teeth, "Before you make me angry."
Whimpering in both pain and fear, Malfoy crawled away. The three boys left in the compartment were staring at Lily in shock, their mouths hanging open. "What?" she asked innocently.
"Wow…just...wow…" was all that came out of Remus and James.
Sirius, however, having seen Lily in action before, just said admiringly, "Nice aim, Lillers! I only wish I had a camera. A camera, a camera, my kingdom for a camera!" They all cracked up.
The train slowed to a stop a minute later. A voice came over the intercom, and informed them: "We have now reached Hogwarts. Leave your trunks. They will be taken to the school in a few minutes time."
*****************
AN: Wow, that took an incredibly long time to write. I would appreciate it very, very much if you reviewed. Pretty please? *Puppy dog look* I'll do anything! I don't care if you just tell me it sucks! Really! As long as I know someone is reading this! Anyway, I'd also appreciate it if someone could help me with a plot. And again, thanks to Naavi and lily potter for reviewing! I'm sorry it took so long, I just have been busy. Well, actually, I haven't really since I have to wait until school gets out to continue fencing lessons and for some odd reason I never seem to have homework. Anyway, it's April vacation right now, so perhaps I'll even put up chapter four. So review and I will! You know you wanna…Anyway, I also have this random plot thing in mind, so maybe I'll start that. So tell me if I should. The only thing is, I'm writing a novel with my friend, so I really should be working on that…Oh well, I can work on that during school while my teachers are boring me to death…Ttfn, peoples! And REVIEW! I'm begging you! I'm down on my knees!!!
