There Is No Such Thing As Fate
Chapter Nine: Tutoring and 'Witch Weekly Teen'
Hello diary,
We came back quite alive from the Forbidden Forest, although we all almost had a heart attack. Apparently, the girls noticed we went away and decided to follow us, and jumped on us from behind.
I'm just happy they didn't figure out why we went there. They probably thought it was just this fun Marauder thing. I hope they'll never find out. I know I'm not going to tell them, anyway. I can just imagine Kate's face... then her eyes would definitely be without their sparkle. I think the sparkle was ten times brighter when she kissed Stanley. Wait! How did I get to Stanley at all?! I'm very tired and probably not really functioning. All the others already fell asleep. I can't.
Why did I let them do it? It's not safe to go around the Forest and they know it. After we met the girls we ran into some animals and they nearly attacked us! But James and Sirius talk about it like it's not a big deal. The moonstone roots are supposed to make their transformation less painful. I can't argue with them, it's bad enough I let them became Animagies. I'm such an idiot! Why did I let them become Animagies? So I'll have a better time during my transformations?
I know they suffered for it. Of course, James just waves dismissively like I'm talking nonsense, Sirius ignores me when I dare to say something and Peter gives a little wince but shakes his head.
They're too great.
Full moon's in a week... I need to think of a way that won't make the girls so suspicious. I hate it when Jane and Lily look so concerned when I lie that my mother is ill or when gives me that pointy suspicious look.
I hate this. And I hate the fact my friends are so bloody great for me. They shouldn't. I don't deserve it.
I'm going to try and fall asleep now.
Goodnight,
Remus.
Remus sighed and put his quill down. He took out his wand and silently cast a spell to dry the ink on the diary. He got up and put the diary the bottom of his trunk. A little 'clunk' informed him that the trunk was entirely shut. He looked around the room with weary eyes. Both Sirius and Peter were snoring and James was mumbling a bit in his sleep.
"Lily." A small smile appeared on Remus' lips as he watched his friend roll over clutching his pillow. He shook his head and with another small sigh got into his bed. Lying on his back, he saw a bit of the window. A beam of moonlight traveled across the room very slowly and he cursed the almost- full moon quietly. Shutting his eyes tightly he tried thinking about other things rather then his monthly torture.
Strangely enough- his mind came to Kate. He instantly forgot about all of his troubles and fell asleep a few minutes later.
Sirius stretched and blinked. New day meant new havoc to create. He smiled deviously at the sleeping figures of his friends. He crept out of his bed and made his was quietly to James's. Opening the curtains and grinning madly he started.
"Jamesie..." He whispered into his ear in a girl voice.
James stirred but said nothing. Sirius didn't give up hope.
"Jamesie..." This time James smiled.
Sirius tired very hard not to crack up. "Oh! James!"
James made a little noise of pleasure. "Lily..."
And Sirius couldn't hold it any longer. The walls were almost shaking with his laughter. James eyes went wide open. "What's so funny?" He demanded. "I was trying to sleep."
"I bet you had a lovely dream." Sirius pulled a straight face and James's face became bright red.
"Oh! James!" Sirius repeated and let out a little girlie giggle.
For a second James mouth just hung open then he flung himself on Sirius. "You little-"
"Must have been quite a dream huh?" Sirius started running away from him. James wrestled him to the ground.
"Lily would love to hear about it don't you reckon?" Again, James mouth went wide open, but this time from pure horror.
Sirius cackled and took the opportunity to run to the bathroom Remus just came out from. James sprinted after him. "If you'd even consider it Padfoot!-" But he was cut off by a laugh. He turned and faced an amused looking Remus. "Would you do me a favor Moony?" James asked angrily hearing Sirius' laughter from the other side of the wall. "Put a silencing charm on me after I fall asleep."
Remus nodded. "I think I would have done it anyway, I'd rather not hear anything concerning you and Lily." Remus existed the room and James became a color matching his Quiddich robes while Sirius laughed even harder.
Peter awoke and asked James what was going on but James was well too concentrated in revenge plans to even notice. Feeling slightly annoyed, Peter resumed to his sleep. Maybe his friends would be nicer in his dreams.
Jane sat in the dark common room looking around for any signs of her friends. James, Kate and Sirius were at Quidditch practices, Lily went to her Arithmancy night class and Remus was sending an owl to his sick mother at the owlery. Playing idly with her hair she wandered were Peter was. He seemed a bit down this morning and she wandered if he as okay. Just then, the portrait swung open and admitted a worn out Peter in. She waved at him and patted the place near her on the sofa, signaling for him to sit down. He smiled and plumped down. "Hey." She said.
"Hey." He slightly panted.
"Long day?" He nodded. "Where were you?"
"Oh, just running around a bit." He leaned backwards, and sighed. He watched her with a little smile played across his lips. She was so... sweet and cute. He loved it about her. And the fact she always took care of him, and asked him how he was doing, and told her what was going on with her. Not like Remus, Sirius and James. They were always keeping secrets from him. They didn't trust him. He noticed his hands were formed into fists and tried to relax. He was with Jane now, the one who cared for him. "So what have you been doing?"
"Just finished practicing the new spell we learned in Transfiguration." She took out her wand and waved it towards the parchment in front of her, which swiftly took the form of a round box.
"Oh." He said, not really able to come up with a proper reply. "Oh no! I forgot to practice it." He smacked his forehead lightly, McGonagall wanted all of them to learn it by tomorrow!
"You can practice now." She said lazily. "It's not very hard."
Peter blushed. "I can't." He was never good at Transfiguration, McGongall made it very clear. He shouldn't have said anything, he should have just asked Sirius or James later for help, or give McGonagal some excuse, like he always did. Now she was going to feel sorry for him and gave him that look of sympathy he loathed so much. He always felt so pathetic when people looked at him that way. Like he was no match and he'll never be. And if Jane felt sorry for him and thought he was pathetic she'll never want him. Why did he had bring this up?
But, to his immense surprise, she laughed. He frowned. Was she laughing at him?
"Nonsense," He heard her saying just in time, before he could feel any lower. "it's easy, I'll help you."
His face brightened at once. "Will you?"
"Of course!" She nodded. "Just get your books and we'll start."
Peter nodded back, and, trying to act nonchalant, he climbed the stairs towards his dorm. He hummed slightly while entering the room. Jane was going to help him, Jane was going to help him. Now he wasn't going to yelled at by McGonagal, and he and Jane would spend some time together. Maybe being top of the class like Sirius and James wasn't that great worth it. After all, Jane wouldn't help them! Grinning, he grabbed his books and almost ran downstairs.
Kate, Sirius and James made their way to the Gryffindor tower talking happily about the successful practice. They crossed the Entrance Hall and suddenly recognized the figure of a tall redhead coming from the lower staircase.
"Oy! Lily!" Sirius shouted, making both James and Kate jump. Lily turned around and waved at them, then she walked towards them in order to join them. But the weight of 3 huge Arithmacy books she was carrying seemed to un-balance her. James quickly rushed to her aid.
"Thank you." Lily panted and blushed slightly. Feeling a bit hot, James smiled shyly back and nodded. Kate and Sirius stood a bit behind both trying to suppress a snigger.
"So, how was practice?" Lily knew that would make James talk.
"It was good." James honestly didn't know what to say, he didn't want to bore her with long Quidditch tactics and such, she would have hate it. "Thanks."
They stood silent for a second, each thinking this was getting more stupid by the moment.
They were acting ridiculous and Sirius couldn't take it anymore! "So you're still learning this stuff Lily?" He took one book out of James's hands and pretended to fall off from the weight.
Kate rolled her eyes and Lily laughed. "Yes, I am. I find it fascinating."
Sirius pretended to be shocked. "How?"
Lily sighed. "It is a very important subject Sirius. It could be very useful in many career choices. For example-"
But Sirius cut her off. "Yes, yes Ms. Evans, I know all about it." Lily raised an eyebrow. "Now I also remember why I never ask you about it, you'll start lecturing me on the 'importance of studying various subjects for yada yada yada." James and Kate laughed while Lily gave a slightly annoyed huff.
"Oh leave it Lils! Besides, when Sirius will be the Knightbus driver you could always tell him 'I told you so!'" Kate said and they all, including Sirius, started laughing.
They talked and joked all the way to the tower but came to a halt as the portrait swung open and they saw their two other friends, sitting together practicing a certain spell.
"Your wrist movement needs to be inside-out Peter, not out-inside okay?" Jane smiled at Peter. "Come on, try it." Peter rolled up his sleeves and, mimicking Jane's movement, managed to transform the parchment into a slightly twisted box.
"Nice!" Jane commented.
"Oh that's so sweet!" Lily whispered to the others, whom were all watching silently.
"Yeah." James said behind her and she felt his breath on her neck. She froze. He was standing right behind her. The only thing she needed to do was turn around and...
"They look so cute!" Kate said to Sirius amused. But Sirius didn't find it amusing at all. "What's so cute?" He demanded. "They're just studying together!"
Kate sniggered. "Yeah right."
Without another word Sirius pushed James out of the way, went past Lily and climbed into the hole. "Hey Jane! Wormtail!" He squeezed himself between the two of them.
"Hey Sirius! Had a good practice?" Jane smiled at him while Peter silently cursed him. Sirius nodded and then looked around at the boxes.
"So what are you two doing?" He asked stretching himself.
"I was just working with Peter about the spell we learned at last week's Transfiguration lesson.
"Really?" Sirius asked. "Sounds fun."
"Really." Peter gritted under his teeth. Jane just spotted the others standing at the entrance and went towards the girls while James sat in Jane's free spot.
"What's the matter with you Padfoot?" James seemed a bit upset and he looked back at Lily who was talking with Kate and Jane.
"Nothing. Nothing at all." Sirius seemed to be in great spirits. "Who's up for a game of exploding snap?"
"I think I'm going to sleep, I'm a bit tired." Peter started walking upstairs. James looked at him questionably but Sirius bid him good night nonchalantly and James shrugged. Peter was tired, there's nothing wrong about it right? (A/N Lol, funny sentence.)
"I'm game." He announced and Sirius took a packet out of his pocket and started shuffling the cards.
In the other corner of the common room Jane, Kate and Lily were giggling over an article in 'Witch Weekly Teen'.
"Greg Wood an ex-Gryffindor Seeker and Capitan and now reserve player for Appleby Arrows reveals it all." Kate read out loud and they burst into another fit of giggles.
"What's so funny?" Sirius demanded from the other end of the room, holding an exploding snap card in his hand, ready to stable it on the mountain of cards he and James already organized.
Lily waved her arm unimportantly and the girls made their way to the boys. Lily chose a sit on Sirius's right, trying very hard to avoid James while Jane and Kate sat in front of the table still holding the magazine. James concentrated hard on finding a safe place to put his card when the girls, once again, burst into mad giggles. "What?!" He jumped and faced them.
Kate, however, ignored him and tried throwing the article towards Lily. But Sirius was quicker. "Not bad Black, you'd make a good Seeker as well." Kate commented.
"But not as handsome!" Jane pointed out and all three giggled.
Ignoring them, Sirius opened the magazine. Then he rolled his eyes. "Honestly, you must be on something." He threw the magazine to James's direction, who caught it swiftly. James scanned the article and his face twisted in disgust looking at the picture of a muscular guy in robs of pale blue grinning wildly and waving.
"He looks like someone stuck a broomstick up his arse." Was his comment, which made Sirius cracked up.
"How much gel does he out on? A pot per day?" Sirius asked and both he and James laughed. (A/N The amount Tom Felton said he put on for the Malfoy role. Lol ;)
"I'll bet you anything these muscles are only half as big."
The girls scolded. "Prats." Lily murmured.
"I'd say you're just jealous." Kate said simply.
The boys stopped laughing and looked at her amazed, then they both started laughing again. "Why would we be a jealous in a fake pretty boy?" James asked.
"Cause we find him dead sexy." Kate said then she leaned a bit forward towards James and whispered: "Especially Lily."
James's face colored. "I- er- you-er -Lily-" He stammered and Kate smirked. "That's just rubbish!" He threw the magazine absent-mindedly behind his back to the table, completely forgetting the cards he and Sirius placed there before.
"James don't!" Jane called out but it was too late.
BOOOOM!!!!!!
"Dammit! Does anyone remember the spell that retrieves eye browses?"
"Venus is dark tonight, things are not looking well." Bane sighed. They were doing their best to protect the sword, yet he feared it wasn't enough. The members of the council were growing impatient, they were starting to doubt the Centaur's star reading.
"But Mars is bright! Help shall come!" Ronan gazed up at the stars, as if trying to see the help. He sighed as well. Their help was already supposed to come. But Jade didn't seem to appear.
"But in what form will Jade come to us?" Firenze quietly joined the star gazing, hoping he wouldn't be banished as he used to be.
"As you were already told Firenze," Bane said harshly. "we do not know. But once Jade will come, we will be certain of his identity."
"What makes you so sure of yourself? Have you ever seen him?"
"The ancient prophecy told us that Jade has a mark engraved in him. We shall know Firenze, we shall know." Ronan said reassuringly and made his way back to the cave and it was Firenze's turn to sigh.
"Come Firenze, we ought to protect the sword." Tearing his eyes from the marvelous world up in the sky the young Centaur followed the old one into the cave, wishing whoever Jade was, that he would hurry... The sword isn't safe enough with them.

Thanks very much for the ones who reviewed the last chapter:
Monny Lover - Yes there will be a Sirius/Jane/Peter :) and no, the girls don't know Remus is a werewolf... But they'll find out... and it wouldn't be nice...
Jemi Fal - I'm happy you find it funny! :)
Kimali Lautoka - Do you know the show Friends? So there's this part where they yell at each other all the time 'danger!' and all of my school did it for weeks! I love scaring people off like that! It's so fun!
