Disclaimer: I own only Vanessa, and April (See Jen, you're in this one!) and Professor Viston.
AN: Nothing to put here :( Oh well… on with the story! And it's AFTER the end of the full moon, K?
Little Eagle
"Lily, Lily, wake up," Someone was shaking her.
"Wha?" Lily yawned and opened her eyes blearily.
"Lily, class starts in five minutes," A girl with shoulder length dark brown hair said, "You've got to get ready. I bought you some toast," She added, handing Lily a piece of toast.
"Thanks April," Lily smiled and April smiled back. Lily threw off her blankets and got changed very, very fast. "Where are all the other girls," She asked, trying to brush her hair and eat her toast at the same time.
"Let me," April took the brush out of Lily's hand and brushed Lily's hair quickly, "They've already gone to… oh shit."
"What?" Lily asked.
"We have potions." April said. "Get your books, we have to run."
"Yes." Lily nodded, grabbed her books and joined April as they ran through the castle. They arrived at the potions lesson ten minutes late and out of breath.
"Well, well, well," Professor Viston drawled, "Late girls, tut, tut, tut."
"Sorry Professor," April ducked her head.
"It was my fault," Lily said, "I slept in and April woke me up and helped me get ready."
"Be that as it may," The Professor smiled coldly, "You are late. Ten minutes late. Ten points from Gryffindor and a detention each."
"Yes sir." April nodded, and Lily pulled her down into the only empty desk. It was, unfortunately, at the front. All the desks near James, Sirius, Remus and Peter had been taken by their fanclub of Hufflepuffs (They had potions with Hufflepuffs).
"Tight git." Lily muttered, as Professor Viston told them what they would be doing today.
"Today you will be making a love potion." The Professor told them, "And not one drop of it will leave this room. We will be testing it, and I have the antidote."
"Yes sir," The class nodded, and they set to work.
"Oh dear." April sighed, "I stink at potions."
"Same." Lily glared at the cauldron, but the two set to work anyway. "Thanks for waking me up this morning."
"It's okay," April smiled at her. Their potion turned deep purple, it was almost black. "Hey, It's the same colour as my eyes."
"It is?" Lily looked at April's eyes, "I didn't know you had purple eyes. I thought they were blue."
"I used to enchant them a different colour." April explained, "when I was a little girl people used to be afraid of my eyes -I'm muggleborn- and I never had any friends. When I found out about Hogwarts, the first thing I wanted to do was change the colour of my eyes. Unfortunately, they've become resistant to the spell now."
"Not unfortunately." Lily said, studying April, "I like them."
"Thanks." April smiled. "Hey! It's done!"
"Oh no!" Someone shouted as their cauldron tipped over, splashing the marauders fanclub with love potion.
"What happened?" Professor Viston snapped, and everybody looked at him. The potion started to work -you just had to absorb it through the skin, not drink it- and the five hufflepuff girls fell instantly in love with their teacher.
"Oh dear," April fought to keep a smile off her face.
"Yes," Lily nodded, clutching her sides, as the hufflepuffs crowded around the professor.
"Somebody stop them!" He shouted, leaping onto his desk.
"Impermedia!" April and Lily grinned, and raised their wands at the three moving hufflepuffs.
"Impermedia!" James, Sirius and Remus took care of the other three before Lily and April had a chance.
"Thankyou." The Professor heaved a great sigh of relief, "Twenty points to Gryffindor, and your" He looked at April and Lily, "Detentions are removed. Class dismissed." He took out a small bottle - the antidote- as the class filed out.
"Well, that was fun," Lily fell into place beside James. April fell back with a small sigh. "April!" Lily called, seeing her move away, "Come on!"
"Okay," April smiled shyly at the marauders.
"Guys, this is April. April, this is-"
"James." Sirius said,
"Remus," James grinned widely.
"Peter." Remus didn't blink an eyelash,
"And Sirius." Peter smiled.
"Hello. Sirius, James, Remus, Peter." April looked at each marauder as she said their real name. "That was seriously stupid."
"Why thanks." Sirius grinned.
"Hurry up." Lily glared at the boys, "Or we'll miss transfiguration."
The six finished all their classes for the day, retired to bed, and woke up the next morning, in time for the first quidditch match of the season.
"Morning," Lily sat down next to the four boys, and April sat next to her.
"Quidditch day!" James smiled widely and looked at April, "Do you follow Quidditch?"
"Yes." April nodded. "My younger brother is on the Ravenclaw team. He makes sure I follow."
"We're playing Ravenclaw today." Sirius obsevered, then groaned.
"What?" James asked, then he also groaned as Vanessa came up to them.
"Petie-pie!" She wrapped her arms around Peter and kissed him.
"What is it Vanessa?" Peter asked, glaring at her.
"Nothing Petie sweetums." Vanessa simpered, "Sit with me and Drue?"
"No." Peter answered, pouring milk onto his cereal.
"Why not?" Vanessa pouted.
"I don't want to." Peter answered.
"Please Petie Pie?" Vanessa begged.
"No." Peter looked at her. "Go away Vanessa. We're not seeing each other anymore."
"P-Petie?" Vanessa's lip wobbled, and she burst into tears. She ran off, and her friend Drue followed.
"That was harsh Peter, even for you." James said, standing up. "C'mon Sirius, Remus."
"Coming." The two stood up and followed James out of the dining hall.
"Lets go get seats." Lily stood up, as did Peter and April. They wandered out onto the Quidditch Pitch, Peter headed over to McGonnagall -he was commentator- and :Lily and April sat as high as they could go.
"AND HERE COME THE TEAMS!" Pete, shouted into the megaphone, "ON THE GRYFFINDOR SIDE WE HAVE: DREWET -THIS YEARS CAPTIAN-, POTTER, BLACK, LUPIN, JONES, JONES AND FAWCEET! ON THE RAVENCLAW SIDE WE HAVE: THOMAS, CHRISTIONSON, BOOT, WEST-"
"Go Adrian!" April cheered as her brothers name was called.
"-WHITE, LOVEJOY AND VEAN!" Peter finished and the captains shook hands. The match started, and pretty soon it was Gryffindor leading 120-100. Suddenly, the Gryffindor seeker, James (~A/N I don't know weather he's seeker or chaser, and seeker fits in better with this story.) went into a spectacular dive. Then, a bludger came out of nowhere and hit him. James's broom swerved off course, and he began to slip.
"JAMES!" Lily screamed, along with the whole stadium. James hit the ground with a sickening crunch and the game stopped. The Ravenclaw team flew down along with the Gryffindor team and Charles Thomas -the beater who had hit the bludger- started apologizing profusely. Lily felt like her stomach had fallen out and she stared down with a look of horror on her face.
Please let him be alright, Lily started to shake, and April led her slowly down, people making way for James's best friend. Oh god. Lily realized, I have a crush on James.
Well, there's some luuuuuuuuuuuuurve in the air… hehe. Hope you liked it!
