Chapter 25 - Summer Boredom
A week after Mr. Evans funeral James, Sirius, Remus, Kayla, and Aria returned to Hogwarts to begin their O.W.L's while Lily stayed at home to do hers.
They all passed with flying colors, including Sirius! James and Lily tied for first, Lily getting the Highest Charms, Care of Magical Creatures, and History of Magic scores, while James got the highest Transfiguration, Potions - beating Snape by two points, which gave James much satisfaction knowing that he beat Snape in everything, including getting the girl - and to the amazement of all, he also received the highest marks in Divination. Due to the fact that both James and Lily have had more detentions than they can even begin to count, they were unable to grab the Head girl and boy position. Which was exactly what they wanted. They didn't want all of the responsibilities of planning everything, and making sure that everybody was in bed at the right time, especially since they never obeyed that rule themselves. They wanted to have fun!
Kayla and Aria made it in the top 5, with Remus and Sirius were in the top 10.
So, all in all, they all did amazingly well considering all that they'd gone through this year.
Then summer came. The long, lazy days, of summer. And, the six friends were dying of boredom.
And that was only four days into the vacation!
~*~*~*~*~*~
Lily was laying on her back on the beach tanning, and trying to think of something to do. Anything to do! She groaned and turned over and rested her chin on her folded arms. 'I'm going to die of boredom. I'm never going to see another day. I mean, surely if I go through another day like this, the world is just going to crumble away,' she thought to herself miserably.
"This is going to be a long summer," she complained out loud.
~*~*~*~*~*~
James sat astride his StarGalaxy 5000, the fastest broom known - for the moment at least - and sighed. It was no fun ridding if no one was there to race! He tilted his broom down so that he could land outside the stands of his small, home Quidditch field.
'This has to be the boringest summer I have ever had,' he mentally complained.
James landed and picked up his broom and headed over towards the broom closet to store it away, thinking the whole way about what could be done to liven up the summer.
~*~*~*~*~
Sirius stood in the kitchen looking at all of the food and tried to decide what he wanted to eat. When he couldn't decide, he shrugged his shoulders and put some of everything on his plate. He put one of his elbows on the table, leaned his head against his hand, and with the other hand slowly brought his food to his mouth. "I feel as if I can go to sleep and never wake up," he muttered to himself as he eyelids started to get heavy.
"Someone has got to be doing something!" he said in a spurt of energy.
~*~*~*~*~
Kayla lay asleep on her bed, ignoring the fighting that was going on down the hall, and dreamed about this particular guy that had midnight black hair, dark chocolate eyes, and stood somewhere around 6'3''.
~*~*~*~*~
Aria was sitting at a park bench watching her mothers friends' daughter play on the swing and reading a book.
She glanced up from the novel, the Prince and the Pauper, by Mark Twain, and searched for the six-year-old girl. As soon she saw her, Aria went back to her novel, then carefully marked her place and laid it down besides her and sighed.
'And here I thought that this summer would be fun.,' she thought as she got up to go play with the little girl. At least she was having fun.
~*~*~*~*~
Remus at the moment was catching up on his sleep since last night wasn't all that nice on him, being the full moon and everything.
During the summer, the guys weren't there for him, and it was always hard after getting used to being calmer during his transformation. He was drained out of all energy after last night.
~*~*~*~
And on went the everlasting summer.
Finally, they all got their book lists, and planned on meeting each other the following Tuesday to get everything that they needed for the next year.
For some reason, it never occurred to the friends to actually plan meetings during the summer. They all seemed to have the same thoughts going through all of their equally hard heads; maybe they need time to get back on track from the loss. (Mainly referring to Lily and Kayla, but the boys would feel sort of weird meeting without the girls.)
