Sometimes Bad Leads To Good
Chapter Five: Book Reading and Ball Issues
Lily sat in a big couch near the fireplace in the common room.
Her hair was all across her face and her emerald eyes were focused on a book.
She sighed, the book was so romantic.
She wanted to be just like the heroes and heroines in her book.
She wanted to be completely lost in that emotion called love.
She wanted someone to love and someone that would love her back.
Little did she know that someone was watching her.
"So what do you think Prongs?" Remus asked James.
James didn't answer.
"Earth to Prongs! Earth to Prongs!" Remus said, looking amused.
No comment.
"Prongs!!!" Remus almost shouted.
"What?" James came back to reality.
"What do you think?" Remus asked getting a bit annoyed.
"Bout' what?"
"Didn't you pay any attention to what I said?"
"Sorry, I was thinking."
"What were you thinking about?"
"Stuff."
"What kind of stuff?"
"Just, stuff." James said and his mind and eyes went, again, to a certain redhead sitting near the fire.
"Oh..." Remus said finally understanding. "Stuff concerning Lily?"
"No!!! Why do you think so?"
"Because you just stared at her for like an hour!"
"Shhhh! She'll here you!"
"So it is about her?"
"No!!!"
They were about to argue some more when Sirius came in trough the portrait hole.
"Hello my friends!!!" He said looking cheerful.
"Hello." They both replied.
Then Sirius went to Lily.
"Hello Lily dear." He said.
Lily didn't answer, she was concentrating on her book.
"Lily!" Sirius tried again with no success.
Seeing that he was not going to receive attention like that he tried something else.
He took the book out of Lily's hands.
"Give me that back Sirius!" She said.
"You can talk?!" Sirius said in fake amazement.
"Yes! And I want my book back!"
"I want to read it too."
"You can read?!"
"Very funny Lily."
"I know."
"Lets see what the book is about."
"No!"
"Why?"
"Because!"
"That's no answer!" Sirius said and opened the book.
"Sirius!!!" Lily screamed.
But Sirius paid no attention.
"Is It Love?" he read the title out loud. (A/N that's the name of my other story. He he he.)
Lily started chasing Sirius around the common room.
He started running and reading parts of the book.
"Suddenly he felt like those beautiful green eyes were bewitching him, he felt his heart beating faster and faster."
"Bring it back Black!"
"No way, it's too fun."
"It's my book!!!"
"She came near him slowly and finally their lips touched."
"You are so dead!!!" Lily finally caught up with Sirius and was starting to tickle him.
She was very good at it.
"Have mercy!!!" Sirius said laughing "Help!!!"
"Say it!" Lily ordered.
"No way!" Sirius kept laughing.
"Then I'll have to continue!" Lily said and kept tickling.
"Ok, ok."
"Say it!"
"Lily Evans is the queen of Hogwarts and Sirius Black is her slave" Sirius finally gave up.
"That's better" Lily let go.
They both got up from the floor and went to sit next to James and Remus.
James looked at Lily and Sirius and suddenly felt a pang of jealousy.
He quickly shook that feeling away. He smiled at Lily and said: "Had fun?"
"You can be sure." She said and they all started laughing.
"So Lily, I'm guessing from the book you were reading that you like romance?" Remus asked.
Lily blushed a bit but nodded.
"Well now I know what to tease you about!" Sirius said.
"Only if you want to be tickled to death!" Lily said.
"No!!!" Sirius said quickly and went to hide behind James, they all started laughing again.
"Let's go down for dinner ok?" James asked.
"Wait for me!" Lana just came down from the girl's dormitory.
"Where were you?" Lily asked.
"I took a shower." She answered.
"You missed something very entertaining." James said.
"What was that?" Lana asked.
"Lily chasing Sirius all around the common room while he was reading her book out loud." Remus said.
"And Lily tickling him until he declared her queen of Hogwarts." James said.
"Not fair!" Lana said.
"That's ok were all going for dinner so there's bound to be something funny there too." Lily tried to cheer her up.
"Fine." Lana said and they all came down to the great hall.
As they entered many head were turned, some, of course, because of the Marauders but some because of somebody else.
Since the night she met James everybody noticed that something changed.
She wasn't shy anymore and she was happy.
She talked with people and laughed.
People started to notice Lily Evans.
They sat down and wanted to eat when Dumbledore walked into the hall.
"I have an announcement to make!" He said and everybody silenced. "I am glad to tell you that we will have a Christmas ball!!!"
The hall was filled with applause and everybody started talking excitedly.
"Dress robs should be worn and you will need partners for dancing!" Dumbledore said his eyes twinkling.
"A ball?" Lily asked.
"A ball?" Lana asked.
"A ball!!!" they both said excitedly.
"What should I wear?"
"Who should I go with?"
"What should I do with my hair?"
"Who should I snog with in the end?" Sirius added with a smile.
"Very funny!" They both glared at him.
Sirius, Remus and James started eating but Lily and Lana kept talking about the up coming ball.
"That Todd is hot."
"Yes, and way out of your league!"
"Oh, right."
"What about Arthur Weasly?"
"He has a girlfriend."
"Molly."
"Right."
"Then who should I date?"
"A Slytherin?"
"I would rather go alone, thanks."
"Why? Snape is ok, maybe he'll remember to use shampoo this time!"
"No way!"
"Just kidding."
"Maybe you should go with Malfoy."
"To my great disappointment he has a girlfriend."
"I'm sure you're crying."
"All the night!!!"
They started laughing so hard people looked at them strangely.
"Girls..." Remus murmured.
"Gotta' love them!" Sirius said.
"I have to agree with both of you!!!" James said.
