Lily
Ch.2
The morning came quickly and Lily woke with the sun glistening in her eyes, which made it hard for her to sleep. She opened her eyes and jumped up. To her surprise there was a face in front of her.
"What the heck?" she screamed at Sirius, who was looking quite pleased with himself for startling her.
"Just trying to wake you up," he grinned, "Well, good morning Princess Lily," he said as he gave her a little peck on the cheek, which made her go almost the color of her hair. He chuckled and rummaged through her closet full of clothes. Last night she was bored, so she put away most of her belongings away neatly.
"I think you should wear this slinky thing" he said holding a lavender spaghetti strap dress up to his body.
She laughed and walked up to him, "Whatever sparks your wand," so, Sirius new a charm to make you squeaky clean without going into the shower, let alone taking your clothes off, but Sirius wouldn't object to that if he could stay in the room. Lily just laughed. After she was clean, but had wet hair, she put the dress on and picked out some white, platform sneakers.
"You look like a um...like...a flower...a snapdragon," he laughed at himself.
"Thanks, I think...wait, where is that book?" she started talking to herself and opened her trunk, which she placed under her bed. Pulling out a thick, pink book, she quickly flipped through.
"Sirius, which one do you think I should do? I mean which one do you think would look the best?" Lily asked him handing him the book.
He shuffled through the pages until he found a page with tight curls filling the head of the model in the book, "This one!" he exclaimed.
With a quick flick of her wand her hair was dry and curly.
"Perfecto!" Sirius accidentally said and his hair suddenly was slicked down with gel, but there was none, "What did I do now?"
"Come here and bend down," she motioned on to her bed.
Quickly, she rustled up his hair and it was sticking up at odd ends and looked extremely cute.
"Thanks," he said looking at himself in Lily's mirror, "You look gorgeous you hunk!" he patted his head.
"Come on gorgeous!" Lily grabbed him.
They walked down the stairs to the common room with their arms entwined around each other to get everyone's attention. To get all their giggles out, they stopped before entering the room.
"Awwww! Marissa exploded, but James started cracking up.
"What's so funny James?" Sirius asked raising an eye brow.
"Nothing, just you two look so good together!" he said in between gasps.
"We know!" Lily pointed out.
Sirius just smiled and motioned for the rest of their friends to follow them down to breakfast. As Sirius and Lily walked into the Great Hall, still together, the students became still and quiet. Abruptly stopping, Sirius confused Lily, but to confuse her even more, he grabbed her hand and spun her. The whole hall broke out in laughs and applauses. Lily ran to the Gryffindor table laughing enthusiastically.
"That was a great performance!" someone from down the table said.
"You two look so adorable together!" a girl said from down the table and made Lily break out in a blush, "I bet they will get like perfect couple or something at the end of the year!" she started a deep conversation with her friend about couples and guys.
"My gosh! That was a big entrance for our second day!" Lily smiled at Sirius.
"I needed to show you off some how ya know!" he grinned ear to ear.
"You're so cute!" Lily answered.
"How about me?" James interrupted.
"Um...you? Let me look," she looked him up and down and said, "maybe if you transfigured yourself to look like Sirius and you wouldn't be such a slob," she smirked as he shoveled pancakes into his mouth, face dripping with maple syrup.
He smiled a radiant smile that Lily had never encountered, and she stared at him. To her astonishment their eyes locked, but she noticed quickly and broke the eye contact.
"Hey will someone teach me about the wizarding world?" Lily asked hopefully.
"Why?" James asked finishing his breakfast.
"Well, I don't know much about it because I'm muggle born and I don't want to be behind everyone,"
"I will help you, if you meet me in the common room after lunch. Me and Sirius have some business to take care of," James offered glancing over at Sirius, who had a mysterious look wiped upon his face.
"Sure, I can do that! Thank you so much! I owe you one," she said waking up more.
"Ok, I'll find something for you to repay me with," he said evilly, but Lily just smiled.
*~*~*~*
After lunch Lily waited for James to come. She waited and waited and after an hour she went up to her dormitory. `I can't believe he stood me up! I thought he would understand that I really wanted to learn more about the wizarding world!' Lily thought. Soon, though, she got over it and grabbed her book A Walk to Remember and skipped down the stairs to the common room. When she entered she noticed Remus Lupin sitting on a chair by the fire.
"Good afternoon!" Lily said with a little beat in it.
He looked up from one of his own books and smiled, "Hello Lily, do you know why they have the fire going in the middle of the day?" he asked confused.
Lily just laughed and shook her head. For some odd reason this seemed so funny to the red haired girl. Remus rolled his eyes at her and went back to his book. She finally recovered and asked, "What are you reading there?"
"Just one of our class books, the one for Defense Against the Dark Arts to be exact," he said looking up, "Hey, weren't you supposed to be learning about wizards and our world with James?" Remus asked.
"Yah, but who could trust James?" Lily said sounding disappointed.
"I could help you tomorrow because I don't feel like teaching now," Remus offered.
Lily squealed with delight at the sound of someone actually teaching her. At that moment James and Sirius stumbled into the common room. As James' eyes fell upon Lily his head slumped down and he tried to sneak up to his dorm.
"Hold it James!" Lily wouldn't let him get away that easily.
He stopped and turned towards her, to his surprise she wasn't mad at all. `I wasted all that time thinking of excuses to tell her for nothing?' he thought to himself angrily, but was grateful that he didn't have to anyways.
The rest of the day past by with no other problems, they ate dinner, and then came back to the common room.
"Anyone up for a game of chess?" yelled one of the Gryffindor boys to the rest of the common room.
"I will!" Lily yelled back enthusiastically, she was getting pretty good playing James and Sirius, who were really good.
"Ok I`m Justin, come over, but I have to warn you that I'm rather good," he said holding his head high.
"I'm Lily and I have to inform you that I'm quite sneaky," she giggled and her head of goldenly auburn curls bounced when she plopped down across from Justin.
They played vigorously, well at least Lily did, for Justin was quite the chess player, but Lily was entranced with the pieces for his were different. The pieces would try to trick you, but they took a liking to Lily and were shouting compliments to her, which made her blush. In a short ten minutes the game was finished, and Justin won by a long shot.
"I won, I won!" Justin triumphantly chanted.
"Yes, I know, but you don't have to boast," Lily laughed.
"You're just a sore looser," he smiled but gave her a quick peck on the cheek and ran up the stairs.
"Ooooo, Lily has a boyfriend, Lily has a boyfriend," Sirius sang from across the room, "Lily and Justin sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G, first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in the baby carriage!" He jumped as Lily threw him a death stare and threw another shoe at him. He just smiled and began singing again, but Lily wasn't going to take any crap from Sirius right now.
"I've never kissed Justin in a tree," Lily retorted, "only you," Sirius stopped singing and his jaw dropped.
Many people in the common room turned their heads in Lily's direction, trying to find out what the commotion was about.
"What are you all staring at?" Lily asked angrily and they all went back to their own business.
"I better get going and let you two sort out your problems," Justin chuckled and went up to his dorm to do whatever.
"Nice one Lily, now everyone thinks that you kissed me in a tree," he looked dumb struck.
"Who cares what they think?" Lily pointed out and walked over to him.
When she reached him she toppled him over, "If I'm falling your coming down with me," he grabbed her waist and she fell on top of him. They were both laughing when all of a sudden Marissa came from the middle of no where and jumped on the, then came Remus, and next came Maurine, a girl who shared the dorm with Lily, Marissa, and unfortunately Rannae. They all laughed enthusiastically, until they heard a faint, "g' off I can' breath!" from the bottom of the pile. Scrambling to get up, off the suffocating person they had trouble, for they were all tangled up, but soon they entangled themselves and saved Sirius, whose face was just slightly red.
"Thanks," he huffed.
"I'm tired, so I'm going up to bed," Lily said as she skipped through the room and up the steep stairs.
"Me too," Sirius said heading up after Lily.
After he was out of sight going up the girls dormitories, the others looked at each other quizzically.
"Does he know he went the wrong way?" Marissa asked Remus, taking her eyes off of the staircase.
"I hope so, but we've only been here, what, two days?" he answered as Sirius came running down the stairs with wide eyes.
"I meant to do that!" Sirius muttered as he went up the right stairs.
The rest of them laughed and retired to bed as well.
*~*~*~*
"Oh, Sirius, wake up," Lily cooed as she tried to get Sirius back for waking with a start the day before. It didn't work so she ran to the bathroom, filled a cup with cold water, and skidded to a halt as she came back to his bed.
"Urgh!" Sirius yelled as Lily splashed him with the water, "What was that for?"
"You weren't waking up, so I had to take drastic measures," she giggled.
"What's this noise," came a voice from the four poster bed next to Sirius and Lily, "Lily? What in the world? You're not supposed to be in here. This is the boys dormitories," he snapped.
"Like you would care James? And I think I could tell this is the boys dormitory!" Lily said sarcastically.
"Whatever," James mumbled as he rolled over and fell back asleep.
"No, that doesn't work that way. If I have to be up so does he," Sirius grinned.
He pounced as hard as he could onto the bottom of James' bed making James fall with a thud to the floor, but he kept on sleeping. Lily was rolling around on the ground full of laughter while Sirius looked completely puzzled.
"He-he must b-be a de-ep s-s-sle-p-per!" Lily burst out.
"Obviously," Sirius joined Lily's laughing attack.
The rest of the boys dorm was awake soon enough, even James, who had no clue why the pair were laughing. They explained and James couldn't care less.
"Ok, you've had your fun Lily now go back to what little girls do in the morning. Like put makeup on and take hours picking the right outfit out," James said smiling at himself.
"No, that's only you!" Lily said and turned to Remus, "When are we going to meet?"
"Um...how about after dinner?" Remus asked thinking of what he had to do that day.
"Sounds great!" Lily piped up cheerfully.
"Ok, see you guys later," Lily couldn't help her good nature and smiled as she walked out of the room.
"Stop smiling. You're always smiling!" James screamed behind her, as he noticed she always smiled too.
"Why? I think it's cute! I love her smile!" Sirius laughed and looked bewildered at James not liking Lily's smile.
*~*~*~*
Again, Lily was waiting for someone to inform her about what the wizarding world was about and what was in it. Lily didn't have to wait long this time because Remus came in looking happy.
"Hi smiles," Remus said as he sat down next to her on the couch.
"When did you start calling me that?" Lily asked with one eyebrow raised.
"I dunno. I guess after you left the dorm this morning," he laughed.
He taught Lily about wizards and their world. It was getting late as Lily laid back into the couch, "It's a full moon tonight. It's going to be lovely!" Lily said dreamily.
"What?" Remus asked completely surprised, "I forgot! I got to go! See you later," Remus said as he ran out the common room.
Lily was baffled of Remus' peculiar behavior, so she sat there thinking of what it could be so important that he had to leave so quickly.
Sirius came down and joined her after she had been sitting there for at least a half an hour.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"I don't know. Thinking I guess," Lily was confused, but then smiled, and Sirius laughed.
"What?" Lily looked hurt.
"I didn't mean to make you feel bad," Sirius looked sorry, "but James doesn't like when you smile, so me and Remus are going to call you smiles or smiley or something like that. Like it?"
"Yah, Remus already called me smiles, but I don't care what you call me!" Lily shook her head.
"So, would you be a fair sport if we pulled pranks on you?" Sirius grinned his malicious, playful grin.
"Only..." Lily smiled and Sirius motioned for her to go on, "if I can get you back," Lily smiled the same playful smile as Sirius.
"Ok, it's a deal, but I have to say, you will never get me back as good as I will get you!" Sirius laughed, "with the help of James and Remus if they want to help,"
Lily just rolled her eyes and eventually fell asleep on Sirius' shoulder thinking it was a pillow because she was so exhausted for some reason.
