Chapter 4 - What are they up to?



"Why is it," Tiffany mumbled quietly to herself as she sat down with her friends in their normal seats in the Potions class the next day. "That we always have to hang around those moron Gryffindors? I mean all that they do is get us in more trouble. But oh no, we just have to be around them practically every single second of our free time! Stupid idiots."

Lily and Kayla unfortunately heard this, no matter how quiet she had been. "You know," Kayla snapped. "You don't have to be around us." Lily gave Tiffany a disgusted glare and said, "Anyways, the guys were our friends first. Hell, I've known Sirius and James practically my whole life." Tiffany glanced at Kayla, then at Lily. Oh god. I didn't mean to get them mad. She thought. No one who was wise would dare get any of the Elements bad side. Aria, Kayla, and Lily were known to have very bad tempers. Kayla and Lily being the ones who got mad more often than Aria.

"I'm sorry." Tiffany muttered. The two girls huffed, and with a final glare watched their potions master storm into the room once again.

"God, I hate herbology." Sirius moaned as they stepped into the humid green house on the Hogwarts grounds. "Oh, come on Padfoot." Remus said in a comforting tone. "At least we get a chance to torture the Slytherins without having an observant teacher around." James snickered. This is where the boys played the most tricks on the Slytherins. The herbology teacher was so entranced in his plants, that he usually didn't even know that he had students. It was only by pure luck that he happened to talk out loud while he was working that gave the students a clue as what to do.

"Come on Padfoot," James said. "You know that you'd never pass up the opportunity to be in this classroom with the Slytherins." Sirius looked as if he was thinking about it, then grinned with pure evilness. "You know," he said with a wicked tone. "You are absolutely right. I think that this is my favorite class. The Prank on Slytherins Class. Long title, but I do so love this class." James and Remus laughed, and Peter, not knowing that some things should just be kept to himself, said, "Yea. Plus, those evil bitches aren't here either. I don't see why you guys like to hang around them so much. I mean they're mean!" Peter satisfied that he finally got a word in on at least one of their conversations sat down and began to get his things organized in front of him for class. "Peter, never, NEVER," Sirius growled, only to be interrupted by James and Remus hissing at the same time, "Say anything like that again." James looked at Peter will a disgusted gaze, and whispered. "I have known two of those girls for thirteen years of my life." Sirius then interrupted James with this final warning. "If you ever so much as try to hurt them, so help me god Peter, you won't live to see another day." With that said, Remus, James, and Sirius went to find a different seat, preferably away from Peter.

Lunch

The girls, minus Tiffany, who thought that it would be better to stay far away from the other three for a few hours, walked grumbling towards the Gryffindor Table as they saw the Marauders sit down at their table.

Lily sat next to James, who was next to Remus, whom Aria sat next to and immediately started whispering to, and Kayla sat next to Sirius, who had immediately wrapped his arm around her waist and started to whisper very provocative and very naughty words in her ear, only to get pushed off the stool by a very tomato looking Kayla Cameron. The rest of the group, and a few near by Gryffindors laughed.

"You know," Lily secretly whispered to James. "I think that she is finally wearing thin for him." James chuckled and then stopped and thought about it. During the past four years - which is about when Sirius realized that girls did NOT have cooties, and were to his astonishment, actually very fun to have around- Sirius had been sent to the hospital seventy-nine times, and has had any number of bruises and cuts from Kayla hitting him, pushing him, tripping him, or sending other females on him, making him run for his life else he'd be surrounded by fluttering, ditzy girls. "You know what," he replied. "I think that you are right. By now he'd at least have about twenty bruises and a few cuts." Lily giggled at the thought of all the pain that Sirius must have suffered from Kayla's hands.

"Hunter." Kayla whispered over the table, and gave Lily a swift kick under the table for good measure to get her attention. Lily glanced up at her friend and raised an eyebrow. A habit that annoyed the hell out of Kayla. Kayla glared at her, and jerked her head towards Remus and Aria, and mouthed, "What's with that?" Lily looked to the right of her, past James remarkably big chest, and looked at Remus and Aria, who at the moment were lightly laughing, and whispering in each others ears. James, who saw the direction of Lily's gaze, turned and looked along with her, and at the same time as Lily, his jaw dropped, and his eyes became as large as a quarter. You couldn't even see white in either of their eyes anymore. Sirius saw the absolute shock on his friends faces and followed their gaze to see what was going on, fell out of his seat with his legs stiff in the air. Everybody snapped their attention to Sirius, and started laughing.

Once composure was gained again, Kayla gasped out, "Are you okay?" Sirius got up rubbing the back of his head and said, "Ow." Which caused a few more chuckles. "Well Remus," he said in a chirpy voice as he sat back down. "Congratulations on being the first of us to get one of these fine lady's." Remus blushed in response, and stuttered out, "W-w-we a-a-aren't.eh.that is." Aria took pity on him, and answered. "We aren't dating thank you very much."

Sirius looked at James, who looked at Lily, who looked at Kayla, who looked back at Lily, and they all, as if in silent agreement, shouted, "THEN WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS GOING ON?!" Remus and Aria looked taken aback by the yells, but replied, "We're planning something. But you'll have to wait to see what it is." With that, they got up and started heading towards the Transfiguration class. By the time they were out of the hall, the other four dazedly got out of their seats, and slowly, very slowly began their walk towards McGonagall's class. All of their thoughts along the same lines. What the hell is going on between those two.

While they were in the Transfiguration hallway, someone came up from behind Lily and wrapped their arms around her waist. She stopped, as did the others. I wasn't going out with anyone when I left last semester, so who the hell is this? She thought as she bewilderedly looked down at the long, thin, pale hands that were wrapped around her thin waist. She then tilted her head back and to the side to figure out that question, and looked into the grinning face of Amos Diggory. The most sought after 5 year in Hogwarts. Lily's eyes lost all warmth that they held within a millisecond, and she glared at Diggory, then the hands that held on to her. He got the point, and quickly let her go. Lily turned around so that she could face him, and in a voice laced with steel, she said, "Don't you ever touch me again. If I had wanted to be touched, I would have asked you to, but I have no recollection of even implying that I had wanted to be touched." Diggory faltered under Lily's gaze, and hurriedly said, "So-sorry. Didn't mean to insult you. I'll be going now." He squeaked out the rest. Lily watched him sprint down the hallway and turned towards her friends and let out a puff of air. "Idiot." She stated as they began walking the short distance towards Professor McGonagall's class.
