Chapter 8. Owls & Breaking up.
"Halloween!" exclaimed Hannah.
"Finally!" shouted Felicity.
"Yippee!!!" yelled Lily.
"You guys sound as if this is the first halloween you ever cerebrate!" said Sirius, sounding a bit scornful.
"We're just too happy! I'm so tired of all our homework and projects!" cried Lily.
"Never thought I would hear that out of our dear Lily, who always enjoys assignments." said Felicity, looking at Hannah. "I really believe that she is in love with her homework!" Lily stared at Felicity, but Felicity just looked at the ceiling.
In all this James and Peter said nothing. Peter was only "following the leader". James was the one Lily worried about. She nudged Sirius.
"What's the matter with James, Siri? He's been awfully quiet this few days." Lily whispered, looking at James.
"Dunno. But he isn't himself these days. Touchy if you ask me.
Replys are always short and cool. " replied Sirius.
"Hey James, you want to visit Hagrid today?" asked Lily, hoping to find out why he was so cool.
"Hmm, no. I am no in the mood right now." he replied.
"I'll go with you!" said Felicity.
"Okay." said Lily, feeling a bit disappointed.
"Why don't we go now?" asked Felicity. "Hannah, coming?"
"I'd love to but I'm a bit sleepy....." said Hannah followed by a big yawn.
"Never mind then," said Felicity, who winked at Lily. "We will return before lunch!" They ran out to the Hagrid's hut. However, Hagrid wasn't here.
"Oh bother." said Lily. "We'll need to go back to the school now."
"No wait!" said Felicity. "Why don't we go and visit Remus?"
"Remus? How?" asked Lily puzzled.
"Like you and James last time. Make the tree transparent!" cried Felicity.
"But do you think Remus will mind?" asked Lily. "Last time we didn't know that he was, er you-know-what. "
"He wouldn't mind. Come on!" said Felicity. They went into the Forbidden Forest and went in front of the Whomping Willow. They were careful not to step on the branches.
"Visiblelus!" cried both of them, waving their wands. The tree went transparent, and both of them saw a werewolf, laying down on the ground.
"Hi Remus! We came to see you." said Felicity. The werewolf looked up, sniffed, but then went back asleep.
"He can't see us. We are the only ones that can see him." Lily explained. "Botvisibleus!"
"Remus!" called Felicity.
This time the wolf and smell and see them. Instead to be glad or welcoming them, Remus snarled at them and it was so horrible it made Lily and Felicity stand back.
"What's wrong, Remus? We're friends! You know us!" said Lily. But the werewolf didn't stop growling at them. He ran towards them, but he was inside the tree and he didn't have enough power to go through it. He scratching the tree and snarled at them at the same time.
"Let's go." said Felicity. "I don't like it when I sees him that way."
"Returisa!" cried Lily. The tree was no longer transparent. "Let's go."
"Seen Hagrid?" asked Hannah. She was lying on the couch.
"No. He wasn't in his hut. We couldn't find him." said Lily. Then she looked around. "Where's the others?" she asked.
"Praticing Quidditch." said Hannah with a yawn. "'Cuse me but I think I'm goin' to have a little nap here."
"Why not going back to the dorm?" asked Felicity but Hannah immediately replied with a snore.
"Too tired." grinned Lily.
"Well, I'm going to read." said Felicity. She grabbed a book and sat on the bean bag comforably.
"Great. So what should I....."
"Lily? Free to practice with me?" asked Justin, who had just walked in.
"Huh?" asked Lily.
"Music." explained Justin shortly.
"Oh! Er, okay I guess." said Lily, eying on Hannah and Felicity.
"Let's play the last song we practiced one more time and start a new one." suggested Justin.
"Which song for today?" asked Lily.
"Er.... Love Letter. I've got the CD here." said Justin, and took a CD out of his pocket.
"Okay." said Lily. Justin wave his wand, and the CD flew out of the CD box and played the music by itself.
"Chinese?" asked Lily.
"Yup. By a famous singer." answered Justin.
"It's beautiful." whispered Lily and closed her eyes. Justin just looked at her. After the song was played for a few times, Lily and Justin started to work the notes out.
"Da, da da di da du. Di di di da di du....." sang Lily under her breath. There, an owl flew through the opened window.
"Snowy?" she said. "I haven't seen you these days......" then she saw a letter familiar handwriting.....
"Hmm. I think I will save this for later." said Lily. Her necklace turned crimson.
"Something I shouldn't see?" asked Justin with a grin.
"Not really. It's just from a friend.... pen friend actually." explained Lily. "So, are we going to start or not? I'm longing to strech my fingers a bit."
"Sure, no problemo." Justin shrugged.
*********
After lunch, Lily ran up to her dorm with Snowy flying beside her. She sat on her bed and opened the letter.
Dear Lily,
Well, as you said before, it seems that James isn't himself, right? Hmm..... is there something wrong? Did you do anything that he wouldn't want you to do? Being friendly or other boys perhaps? Boys can be very jealous, you know!
I can't help saying this, but there are plently of people out there and if you think James isn't the right person, so why don't you just..... change bf? I think you know what I mean.
Yours,
Leaf.
After Lily read it, she grabbed a quill and starting writing fiercely.
Dear Leaf,
This will be the last time I say this, I WON''T break up with James because of some misunderstanding! You know I treat you like a friend, and nothing else. I enjoy being pen friends with you and please let it go on. I don't want to lose a friend. You don't, do you?
Yours truly,
Lily.
Lily sealed the letter and sent Snowy to deliver the letter.
"I really wonder who Leaf is." she said to herself. Then she opened the window to let Snowy out. Then she closed the window and ran downstairs to join her friends.
As Snowy flew out, she flew past the quidditch field and then flew to the boy's dormitory. James just happened to be in the field with a broomstick. Immediately he snatch the letter from Snowy. Snowy was going to attack James if it wasn't Peter said "Freeza!". Snowy at once became a ice sculpture.
"You idiot! If she melts she will die! Returisa! Freezo!" cried James. Snowy frozed.
"Why did it attack you?" asked Peter as James opened the letter and read it with fury.
"They have gone way too far. How dare they talk about me like this in these!!!" he wanted to tear these letters, however he just folded it up and gave it back to Snowy.
"Returisa!" he cried. The owl moved immediately. Seeing James handing the letter back to her, she just grabbed the letter and flew off, casting a few glares at James. James didn't notice or didn't care. Peter shuddered. James was in a bad mood. A Really Bad Mood.
***********
"So, want to go 'trick or treat'?" asked Sirius. "Remus' coming back today."
"But Halloween ended for two days!" exclaimed Hannah.
"Exactly. However, as Remus went home to see his poor mom, I think he didn't have a good Halloween, soooo...... James and I am taking you guys to trick or treat with Remus!" said Sirius, winking at James. James winked back with a grin.
"Where are we going to 'trick or treat'?" Lily asked.
"The kitchen." said James in a rather stiff tone.
Lily couldn't bare James' coldness towards her. She finally said "What happened to you these days, James? We've been so worried about you and......"
"Worried about me? Worried about hwo to break up with me, more like it!" snapped James. Hannah and Felicitywas shocked at this outburst. Sirius just shooked his head and signalled the other 2 girls to leave the room. Lily went pale.
"What are you talking about?" she asked, feeling a bit strange all of the sudden.
"What am I talking about? Ha, I should be the one to aks you, talking and flirting with others behind my back...."
"What? I do not! I dislike flirting, you know that!" shouted Lily, her necklace was bright red with orange, like fire.
"At first I believed you wouldn't, but then I found you betrayed you!" yelled James.
"Betrayed? What do you mean 'betryaed'?" hollared Lily. This was all new to James, for Lily seldon lost her temper.
"Like, writing letters to someone?" sneered James.
"What?" cried Lily. "I don't even know who he is!"
"Lily Evans, top in school and doesn't even know who her secret admired is and didn't even thought of checking who!? Oh, please!" cried James sarcastically.
"How did you..... you read them!" cried Lily, unable to believe that.
"Yes I did! And if I didn't I would have never knew you are the same as other girls!" shouted James.
"Do you mean flirting? I thought you enjoy having girls around you, flirting with you!" cried Lily. "Now you are should at me for something you like others to do and I can't? Even so, I told you, I. Don't. Flirt!"
"That's different, they are not you. How can you be so low, so cheap now!?" yelled James.
"Cheap!!!?? You call me, Cheap!!!" shouted Lily. "So, if I'm so cheap, why don't we broke up?"
"Broke up?" James was taken back a little.
"Broke up! James Potter, I official break up with you, for you never trusted me!" yelled Lily.
"Great!" called back James.
"Halloween!" exclaimed Hannah.
"Finally!" shouted Felicity.
"Yippee!!!" yelled Lily.
"You guys sound as if this is the first halloween you ever cerebrate!" said Sirius, sounding a bit scornful.
