Chapter XVI + The fight
"Look at those two." Sirius said, nudging Maria in the ribs.
"OW!" Maria shrieked. "THAT HURTS!! You should know better than nudging me so hard! I'm all bones!!"
"Rrriiighhtt…!" Sirius said. "Anyway, look at Prongsyyy and Tigeeeeer…" Sirius said, humming the wedding march.
"Sirius, they are fighting over the last dinner roll."
"Exactly." Sirius said, letting out a dramatic sigh. "As Lily's bottle green eyes burned with anger, James could see the anger, jealousy, hurt, and sadness in her eyes. James felt as if he could read her so easily. The more harsh words that came out of Lily's small mouth, James felt his heart sting. But James couldn't help but gaze at the red-headed beauty in front of him. Lily reached out to grab the last dinner roll, but her hand brushed against James's and they both felt an unbelievably hot rush of electricity rushing through their body. Lily blushed as her gaze met with James, but James continued to stare at her. They both sat in silence, until Lily looked up, long enough for James to lean down and kiss her passionately."
Maria stared at Sirius in amusement. "Have you been reading Lily's romance novels?"
"Yes, I have actually. I took one from her trunk that night- It's called LOVE OR LUST. I recited that piece from it."
Maria burst into laughter. She has been doing that a lot lately. But Sirius really did make her laugh. He always made everyone around him laugh.
"REALLY! It is. Page 63, fourth chapter." Sirius said seriously.
Maria just continued to laugh. Sirius could be so silly.
Suddenly there was a loud BANG and everyone turned his or her head towards the sound. It was coming from the Slytherin table. Maria stopped laughing and turned her head.
Up, on the Slytherin table, in a pink tutu, dancing ballet was Severus Snape.
The whole school (excluding the Slytherins and teachers) burst into a loud laugh. Maria began giggling again.
"SIRIUS!" James yelled. "I SAID, TAP DANCING! NOT BALLET!"
"But Prongs, old friend." Sirius said. "Tap dancing is… not as… delicate and beautiful as ballet…" Sirius shook his head. "Where is your sense of art?"
"Up your bum." James said sarcastically. "I thought we agreed on TAP DANCING!"
"But James, as I had said before, seeing Snape tap dancing isn't as exciting as seeing him dancing ballet." Sirius said.
"I still think Snape dancing hip hop was better." Remus chirped.
"Sirius, we already did this in 3rd year!!" James argued.
"And it's one of the best!! That's why its back, for the heck of it!" Sirius answered.
"Just because you're better than me in charms doesn't mean you can go around changing our plans!" James whined.
"Well, then it's not my fault my charms is better than yours. Next time, when you want to do a spell, ask your Lady Lily for help."
"I HEARD THAT!" Lily screamed from her end of the table.
"Sirius, why did you-" James began.
"BLACK, POTTER, LUPIN! DETENTION!" McGonagall's scream rang into their ears.
"But Professor, I didn't do anything." Remus said innocently. He didn't mind detentions, but if he didn't get any would be better.
"You handed the book of spells to Black." McGonagall pointed out dryly. "Of course you did SOMETHING."
***
Remus sat on the comfortable loveseat in the common room with Alison. He had served his detention the night before, and tonight, he didn't have any homework, so he decided to chill off with Alison.
Peter, on the other hand, was getting help on the Transfiguration homework they had. James was by his side, trying to explain to him. Sirius was reading a magazine, and Maria was talking with Aries.
Just then, Lily walked into the common room, as normal as any normal 16 year old girl could be.
As soon as Remus saw her, he began to laugh.
Lily looked at him strangely, and that made Remus laugh even harder.
Even Alison was beginning to giggle. But everyone else had blank expressions on their faces.
"What are you laughing at?" Lily demanded.
Alison's small giggles burst into loud howls of laughter, while Remus suddenly fell down to the floor, rolling on the floor, laughing. Lily let out a small gasp and looked horrid.
"ALISON JOHNSON!" Lily yelled, her eyes flashing dangerously. "YOU DIDN'T!"
"IT SLIPPED LILS!" Alison choked. "I'm sor- HAHAHA!!"
"ALISOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNN!!!!! I HATE YOU!!" Lily screamed, and if looks could kill, Alison will be dead that instant.
"Oh! Did Alison tell Remus about…?" Maria asked. Alison turned to Maria and nodded.
"What? What's going on here?" Sirius asked curiously.
"Yes? Why is Moony on the floor laughing?" James asked uncertainly.
"Uh, I told Remus something about Lily, and he laughs when he sees her…"Alison said.
"OH YEAH. Tell whole Hogwarts, will you?" Lily said sarcastically.
"Lily, IT SLIPPED! IT SLIPPED!! OKAY? GET IT? IT SLIPPED!"
"OH WELL," Lily kneeled down next to Remus and whispered something in his ear. Remus stopped laughing, looked at Lily with big eyes, and turned to Alison. He began to laugh again.
"Why you…!" Alison raged, trying to think up hard, confusing names to call Lily. But it didn't work, as calling people hard, confusing names and saying witty comebacks were more of Lily's department.
"Oh! HAHAHA…… SHE TOLD HIM ABOUT…? Hahaha!!" Maria laughed. Maria was now clutching her stomach.
"WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT? OH YEAH?" Alison yelled. She kneeled down and whispered something into Remus's ear.
Remus yet again stopped laughing, turned to face Maria with big, watery eyes, and started to laugh all over again.
"YOU JUST DIDN'T-"Maria began.
"OH YES I DID!" Alison smirked.
"WHY YOU LITTLE…" Maria hissed. Her eyes were now dark and glowing dangerously.
"WELL, LILY STARTED IT." Alison pointed out.
"CAUSE YOU TOLD REMUS!" Lily growled.
And the three girls started to bicker on about who had started this whole frenzy.
"Girls, girls. You all are making a scene." James hissed.
"Ah! Center of Attention!" Sirius yelled happily. "Now, tell Papa Sirius what's this all about?"
"Sirius!! STAY OUT OF THIS!" The three girls hissed severely. Sirius backed away.
***
And a war had just started in the Gryffindor towers that night.
Maria, Lily and Alison weren't on speaking terms. They were ignoring one another, even for Potions class, when Alison and Lily were partners, they had decided to change partners.
Alison, of course was spending more and more time with Remus. Everywhere Remus went Alison went too. Everywhere Alison went Remus went too.
Lily was dragging Sirius everywhere with her. She would've picked Remus, the most sensible one of the group. But since Remus was already Alison's, she couldn't do anything about it.
Maria was hanging out with James. And James, having his two best friends being controlled by two other 16 year old girls, only had Peter left to hang out with from the group, besides Maria.
"What are the 3 uses of Unicorn hair?" Lily asked, a few days after that faithful night.
"Uh, for wands, for a potion, and for the magical quill." Sirius answered.
"What Potion?" Lily asked, leaning back against the chair she was sitting on.
"Uhh… wait a minute, I know this one. Wait.. wait…" Sirius squinted his eyes. "OH! It's for the eye-coloring potion!" He exclaimed.
"Correct!" Lily smiled.
"YES!" Sirius cried happily, punching a fist into the air. But it then took a few seconds for him to realize what he was doing.
He, Sirius Black, THE Notorious Sirius Black, Prankster Extraordinaire, Illegal Animagi, Gryffindor's beater, and ladies man- the guy who didn't bother finishing his daily homework or studying for a test- the guy who gets 2 detentions every night, was here, in the LIBRARY, with the studious Prefect Miss Lily Evans, studying.
And he was enjoying it.
It wasn't for the fact he was studying with Lily, he didn't like her that way. He only loved her as a sister. But the fact that he was actually enjoying studying, and he thought it was kind of fun.
It would've been more understandable if there was going to be a test the next day. But there wasn't any. There wasn't any homework either.
He didn't even do a prank in days!!
He must've been spending too much time with Lily. She had rubbed off a lot on him.
Sirius groaned to himself. This fight between the girls must stop.
***
Maria sat up bolt in her bed, sweat all over her forehead.
She could hear them. She heard James's yells of warning, Lily's screams of horror and mercy…
plus the constant crying of the little green-eyed baby.
Maria looked past her bed to Lily's, where Lily was sleeping peacefully in her bed, her flowing red hair framing her delicate complexion. If only she knew what would be happening in the future.
Maria wanted to tell Lily so badly… but she was stumped, if Lily knew that she will be married to James… she will go nutty!
Maybe Maria should tell James about it first. Yeah, it's time. He deserves to know what will happen to him in the future.
Maria laid her head on her pillow, thinking about how she will tell James later.
Feeling a bit lighter than she was, Maria fell asleep.
