Chapter XVII + Fight II & Future Wives
"Potter, Headmaster was looking for you. He said for you to meet him in his office, now." Richard Payne, the Head Boy, told him the next day.
"Really? What's the password?"
"Gum Drops." Richard said. "I'll see you around."
"Okay, Thanks Payne." James said, nodding. Richard left and James began to walk to the Headmaster's office.
It was a long walk, but eventually, he met up with the gargoyle. "Gum Drops" James said clearly, as the gargoyle sprang to life and let him into the circular office of Albus Dumbledore.
"Ah, James. Sit down, please." Dumbledore said pleasantly. "Lemon drops?"
"No thanks, Professor D." James answered.
"I could tell you are very curious, James. Well, be patient. I'm just waiting for the other person to come."
"Other person?" James asked. Dumbledore nodded, and just then Maria stumbled in.
"Sorry I'm late, Professor… I-"
"No need to explain, Miss White. Sit down, I believe there is something you must tell Mr. Potter here."
James looked at Maria, a curious expression pasted on his face. Maria sat down and took a deep breath.
"Before I start, I suppose you must know that I'm a…Seer."
"REALLY? That's cool!" James said, nodding excitedly.
"James, I think you would like to hear this." Dumbledore said.
"Okay. Continue." James said.
"And, I've been having quite a few dreams about the future of the magical world." Maria said. "And you're a big part of it."
"James, you do remember what I had told you a long time ago right?" Dumbledore asked.
"Yes, that I am a direct descendant of Gryffindor." James replied. "And my son will be the heir."
"Yes, that could defeat the heir of Slytherin." Dumbledore nodded.
"But I already know all of this, except for the fact that Maria is a Seer. By the way, does anybody else know?"
"No, only Mr. Lupin, a few people from the dark side that have been trying to get Maria on their side, and her parents, of course." Dumbledore said. "Yes, Mr. Potter, you did know about that."
"But did you know who your future wife will be?" Maria asked.
"No. But I would like to know."
"Are you sure?" Maria asked.
"Yes."
"REALLY REALLY SURE?"
"Yeah."
"You're not going to regret it?"
"No…don't think so."
Dumbledore's eyes twinkled as he watched James get more and more curious by the second.
"You're not going to kill me or-"
"WELL, WOULD YOU JUST TELL ME?" James exclaimed.
"Alright." Maria huffed. "Hope you and Lily Evans really could help the Magical World."
James sat there, mouth wide open in disbelief, at Maria.
***
Remus sat in his seat, scanning around the common room. James was sitting in the corner, a few girls crowding around him. He looked helplessly at Remus, and Remus gave him a shrug. Maria was sitting near James, frowning every now and then. Peter, on the other hand, looked as if he could care less.
"Allie?" Remus murmured.
"Yeah?" Alison asked, looking up from her comfy spot, next to Remus.
"You look nice today." Remus murmured.
"Oh, thanks." Alison blushed, giving him a peck on the nose.
"Allie?"
"Yes?"
"Don't you miss Lily and Maria?" Remus asked.
"No." Alison answered stubbornly, but Remus knew her too well.
"Yes you do, I know you do." Remus teased.
"I don't!" Alison cried.
"Yeah right."
"I really don't!"
Just then Lily came into the common room, pulling Sirius's arm. They both stumbled onto the floor, making the whole common room turn to look at them.
Lily rolled her eyes and stood up, dusting off. She then gave Sirius a hand, and pulled him up to his feet. From the corner of his eye, Remus could see James watching them, his lips twitching into a frown.
***
"If she's suppose to be my wife, why is she there on top of my best friend?" James muttered. Maria knew he was muttering to himself, but he muttered it too loud, and Maria heard it clearly.
"Jealous?" She teased.
"What are you talking about?" James asked, turning to Maria. "I didn't-"
"If she's suppose to be my wife, why is she there on top of my best friend?" Maria mocked in a mutter. "I heard it James. I have the sixth sense also."
"Oh." James answered. "I didn't mean anything by it, you know."
"Right."
"Just out of curiosity. I wonder what they were doing." James chided.
"Right."
"You know, what if Sirius suddenly has feelings for her or something."
"Right."
"Or maybe the slimy slytherins have been teasing her again…"
"Right."
"Maybe she got bit by an animal and Sirius brought her to the hospital wing."
"Rrrrriiight James."
***
"Sirius, gerroff me!" Lily said, pushing Sirius off of her body.
"Ow ow!!" Sirius wailed. Lily got up and began dusting off dust from her robes.
"Get up." Lily commanded, giving Sirius a hand. He took it and Lily pulled him up to his feet.
"Lily, I was wondering- do you by any hand, miss Allie and Maria?"
"Why would you think that?" Lily asked, approaching a small chess table. "Game?"
"Yeah, prepare to die." Sirius said, conjuring a chess set. "Are you sure you don't-"
"No."
"Fine."
***
"What? Evans didn't let you kiss her?" A voice rang out.
"NO. Everything was going so smoothly. Well, she didn't let me hold her hand either. You were right, either she plays hard to get…"
"Or either she's saving herself for Potter. Man, by the way they look at each other you would know they were MARRIED."
"Okay2!! Bet still on? I know I can win it."
"Yeah sure. 10 sickles. "
"Don't you think that's a bit… high?"
"Hey, don't care. I know I can get her."
"We'll just watch you fail."
***
Remus watched as James sat with Peter, discussing about something in a very low voice. Maria was next to them, but completely oblivious to them. She was reading a book.
Sirius was sitting with Lily, flipping through a magazine. Lily was engrossed in her homework, looking up a few times to sigh in disappointment at Sirius.
"Remus, what are you thinking?" Alison asked. Her eyes followed to where Remus have been gazing at. "Oh no, I've told you many times-"
As if right on cue, Sirius approached them.
"Hello, Moony ol' pal. Missed you there. How's life been treating you?" Sirius asked, taking a seat next to them.
Alison glared at Sirius as if he was some Slimy Slytherin.
"Heyyy there Allie! What's up? No need to shoot daggers at me!" Sirius said cheerfully.
"Sirius, where's my lunar calendar?" Lily's crisp voice rang in their ears. "I need it."
"Oops, I think I lost it…" Sirius said.
"WHAT!? HOW COULD YOU LOSE IT? I TOLD YOU-"
"Relax Lils, it's upstairs in my dorm. Say, why don't you just chill for now? That project's not due till we graduate."
"Sirius, if you put it that way, the assignment's due in the next 6 years, for you. But I DO like to get things done early, so where's-"
"Relax Lil! You've been too hard on yourself." Remus assured her. "Sit down. Chat with us."
"Chat? With you guys?" Lily said in a disgusted voice, her eyes directed on Alison.
"Well, I wont enjoy any second of it." Alison huffed.
James, seeing that Sirius, Remus, Alison and Lily were talking-in some sort, decided to join in and drag Maria and Peter.
"Padfoot, Moony! How've you people been doing?" James exclaimed, acting as if he hasn't met his old friends for years.
"Prongs, old buddy old pal!!" Sirius grinned. "Wormtail."
"What did you drag me here for?" Maria asked loudly, to James.
"So you know, we all could, talk." James replied.
"There's no WAY I'm going to talk with these two … " Maria muttered, rolling her eyes.
"Thought we couldn't hear you, White?" Lily asked, raising her brows.
"Don't act like you did, Evans," Alison said icily. Remus put a warning hand on Alison's shoulder.
"I wasn't talking to you, Johnson."
"Good, cause I don't want to talk to you, or White, ever AGAIN!"
"Allie…" Remus began, trying to break the fight.
"That's fine with me!" Lily said, marching up the stairs to the dormitories.
"Lily, come on, don't be like this-" Sirius began.
"Yes, get out of my sight, Evans!" Maria yelled.
"Eventually I wont, since you sleep in the same dorm as me!" Lily called from the top of the stairs.
"Huh!" Maria sulked, heading for the portrait hole.
"Yeah, just walk away White, and let all those slimy slytherins catch you and tie you up in their cold, nasty common room." Alison called out.
Maria turned back to glare at Alison, before walking out of the common room, cursing.
Alison just sat in her seat, pouting.
"Alison, that wasn't really nice…" Remus said. "They were your friends- Lily has been your best friend for 5 years!"
Alison just sat there in silence. Sirius sighed and shook his head. "I miss those times, when we all would hang out like a big group. I'm stuck with Lily, not in a bad way of course, but she's making me…" Sirius shuddered. "Study."
James, Remus, Alison, and even Peter all gasped.
"No way! How could she-" James started.
"I swear, it's like she hypnotizes me or something…" Sirius trailed off.
"That girl's got some secret powers or something." Peter squeaked. (For the very first time in this story!)
"That's what she probably uses to get guys." James shrugged.
"How would you know, James?" Sirius teased.
Alison laughed along with the boys, remembering the sleepover the girls had a few weeks before. Lily has been telling the others how 'unlucky in love' she was, and will always be. After that Christine and Elle were being their usual bitchy self, the boys had raided their rooms, and Maria talked about how she had went out with… Snape. Then they had a pillow fight, which was fun.
"Allie? Alison?" Remus called, nudging her. "You kinda spaced out there."
"Did I?" Alison asked. "Well, I'll be okay. I'm a bit tired… Maybe I'll go to sleep." She was halfway to the stairs when she stopped in her tracks.
"What's wrong?" Remus asked.
"Lily's there." Alison said, making a face.
"You can stay with me." Remus smiled, taking her hand and escorting her to their dorm.
"Maria will probably be sleeping in the common room." Sirius said. "If I knew where she was, I could've showed her one of those rooms we found."
"Don't worry, she can take care of herself." James assured him.
