"Where were you?" That was the question I received from everyone. To
Remus and Sirius I just had to say, "M. M. R." the initials for Marauder's
Masked Room. To everyone else, "None of your business." "Nowhere." "Go
to hell." "Away from you." "Drop dead." "Shut up" "Fuck off" "Don't
ask stupid questions." I sat in the Great Hall and played with my food but
didn't eat any.
"Prongs, we're worried about you," Remus said sitting beside me.
"Yup," Sirius said sitting on my other side.
"No need to be. I'm just peachy." I stabbed the wiggly thing on my plate with a fork and the sound of metal and clay from the plate clashing rang in the Great Hall and most people turned to stare. I glared at them all defiantly and they turned away.
"Prongs, that isn't considered peachy," Padfoot said taking my fork away from me. On second thought he took the knife too. And the spoon.
"The spoon?"
"You never know," he replied. I rolled my eyes. Remus laughed.
"Where's the girly?" I asked him.
"She's..not interested in me any more."
"Why not?"
"I told her why I couldn't take her out last night while you ditched us to go to detention and I nearly kicked Sirius's butt."
"I'm sorry. I didn't plan on fighting Evans in Dumbledore's room," I said quickly.
"That reminds me, why didn't you come back to the dorm?" Remus asked.
I realized he was avoiding the topic of Kylie. I'll hurt her later. "I couldn't. Evans fell asleep."
"And your point?" Sirius asked.
"She fell asleep on me. I couldn't go to the girls' dorm I refused to bring her into ours."
"Oh, now it makes sense. Does she know how to get into the room?"
"No. She doesn't." They sighed with relief. "I doubt she even remembers where it is."
"How'd she fall asleep on you?" Sirius asked.
"She was upset by something so I tried to comfort her and she got a little comfortable."
"Lucky you didn't have a masculine reaction. Wit vs. libido-the lower region wins," Sirius smirked.
"That's because Jamesie doesn't HAVE one to have a masculine reaction WITH," Remus teased.
"How would YOU know, Perv?"
"Becaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaause, I have werewolf senses and I can smell a decent guy a mile a way," Remus said dangerously.
"You make it seem as though I don't," I said, cuffing the back of his head.
"It's not your fault you can't react to a girl, James. We understand if you're not.properly equipped."
"Shut up, Padfoot or I'll explain to Moony who he danced with last year."
"Shut up, Prongs," Sirius countered.
"What?" Remus asked.
"Nothing," Sirius and I said at the same time smirking. Remus tackled us both in one blow and I moved out of the way enough for Sirius to hit the floor harder then I did. I laughed as the wrestling match began. I beat Sirius, Remus beat me. Sirius beat Remus.
"Get off of the Great Hall Floor, Freaks," Kylie said as she walked in and took seats across from where we were.
"Kylie, you may not be going out with Remus any more but if you're not civil, believe me-I won't be," I glared.
"Don't threaten my friend, Potter."
"Or what, Evans?"
"Or you'll have to deal with me," Lily said, challenging me.
"I'm so scared. Really. I'm shivering in the boots I'm not wearing." She made a move to punch me and I stepped back. She walked around the table and kicked my shin several times before I finally grabbed her leg and flipped her onto her back. "Don't screw with me, Evans."
"I know for fact I could do better then you, Potter."
"Is that so?"
"Yes," she said. I released her leg. People were staring.
"Let's see you do it then. We each have to come up with a date by eight tonight," I made the challenge.
"That's not fair. Everyone knows that every girl in the school is in love with you."
"Every girl?" I asked, waiting for her to catch her error.
"Yes, every girl," she said softly.
"You're not," I decided to shove that one in her face.
"Okay, you're right. I'm not. So what?" She aimed a kick at my knee cap and I grabbed her ankle and twisted it. Remus and Sirius finally reacted and pulled us apart. I could feel the bruise forming on my leg. She thrashed wildly in Sirius's arms. I just stood and glared at her as Remus held my arms behind my back. I glowered and I felt a hand slip into the edge of my pocket and pull out my wand. Sirius repeated the action with Lily.
"If you two don't behave, Sirius and I will snap your wands before you can blink," Remus said releasing me at last. I grabbed his wrist and threw him over my shoulder in pure anger. He ended up throwing my wand in the air and I caught it with ease.
"Thanks Remus," with that I left. I was angrier. Angrier then I've been in a while. Kylie. Will. Pay. I went to the Marauder's room for doughnuts and tranquility. I didn't care if I missed the rest of my classes. I didn't need them.
"Prongs, we're worried about you," Remus said sitting beside me.
"Yup," Sirius said sitting on my other side.
"No need to be. I'm just peachy." I stabbed the wiggly thing on my plate with a fork and the sound of metal and clay from the plate clashing rang in the Great Hall and most people turned to stare. I glared at them all defiantly and they turned away.
