Hi! Please kindly review! BUBBLES over there! Gotta go!
Chapter Nine- Normalcy (I love that word! Especially since it wasn't a word until Roosevelt said it!)
Snape, without realizing it of course, saved the life of his mortal enemies. If he had known this, it would have saved him the trouble of rescuing a skinny little boy thirteen years later. But alas, everything happens for a reason, does it not?
(just thought that I would put that in.;P)

James looked around the common room. To his left Sirius sat up reading a book (yes Sirius) and to his right Peter and Remus were playing a game of wizard chess. Peter was looking a little grim because he was loosing miserably. Things seemed back to normal. Lily came swiftly down the spiral staircase.
"James! James!" she called. He looked up at her a little confused. "Exam scores are in!" Peter groaned. Sirius presented a little grin. Remus shrugged and James wasn't particularly interested. "Well, just because you four blow off school doesn't mean that I have to too. Are you coming or not?" The boys shrugged and got up, a tad disgruntled.
"Awww, lookie, ickle Lily's worried about her grades!" Sirius said, mocking her. Lily put her hands on her hip. James hit Sirius on the back of the head for making fun of his girlfriend.
"YOU DON'T HAVE TO DEFEND ME! I CAN DEFEND MYSELF!" she jokingly yelled at James and in turn hit him on the head. She ran ahead of them smiling smugly. she had a plan. James and Sirius rubbed their heads and followed after her. Remus stood, shaking his head. 'It is as if nothing has happened. But I suppose I wouldn't have it any other way' he thought to himself. Peter was being Peter and stood in the back of the crowd, walking slowly. James held back from the others and put his arm around Peter.
"You know. none of it could have been avoided. It would have happened anyway. It was fate. Trust me. well, I suppose it could have been avoided if we didn't break hundreds of school rules in the process!" James said trying to cheer up his friend. Peter nodded and didn't say anything. James ran after the others and Peter followed, trying to keep up. Things had indeed returned to normal. Soon they arrived at the great hall.
The hall hadn't been decorated yet for the end-of-term feast. Instead the enchanted ceiling above was a gorgeous light blue. A few puffy clouds flew past; one was the shape of a bunny. Unlit torches lined the walls. The tables were empty except for the head table that had enchanted boxes that covered every inch of the table. The boxes were different colors for the different houses. There were about fourteen boxes to each house and around fifty all together. The five found an unoccupied, Gryffindor, box; most of the students hadn't come yet, and lined up. Lily was first, of course. She walked up to the box and shouted at the top of her lungs "LILY EVANS!". Out of the box came three sheets of paper and she left and went to the side to wait for the others.
"JAMES POTTER!"
"REMUS LUPIN!"
"SIRIUS BLACK!"
"PETTER PETTIGREW!" They decided to wait until they got out of the rapidly crowding Great Hall.
"Let's go to the lake," suggested Remus. The others agreed and the headed out the front doors into the warmth of the mid-June summer. They headed for the lake where the giant squid that resided in the lake, was sunbathing. It stretched it's long tentacles on the shore, basking in the sunlight. Sirius plopped down on the ground and the others followed suit. Peter was looking around, trying to find an excuse not to take out his.
"Full marks in charms!" Lily exclaimed. Remus rolled his eyes.
"Of course. you ALWAYS get full marks in charms!" he whined. His charms marks were mediocre and not very good. He sighed.
"Well you got a really good score in Muggle Studies and Defense Against the Dark Arts. Full marks in Herbology!" Lily comforted. Remus just mocked her and stuffed the papers into his pocket.
"Who doesn't get full marks in Herbology, Lil?" Sirius asked.
Peter whimpered, "I didn't.."
Sirius who was behind Peter mouthed, 'He really is an idiot isn't he!' Peter however, saw his reflection and turned to hit Sirius. (why does everyone want to hit Sirius???) Sirius dodged the blow and rolled over to James.
"Nice marks," Sirius commented, his head looking up, under James' arm. "Full marks in DADA, potions, and ooo, sorry about those charms marks.. Only eighty-eight percent!"
"Oh just shut-up Sirius! What did you get anyway?" James asked.
"Uhh, yeah.. That is for me to know and you to find out!"
"Oh, whatever, give it here!" James grabbed the paper, his eyes grew wide. "Damn, I knew you where smart, but no that smart! Full marks in everything except potions, and you got a ninety-five!" The others looked at him with disbelief. Lily looked at him with jealousy. Now she really had to get back at him!
What is she going to do? What is going to happen at graduation? Will Voldie make an appearance? Find out next time in the next exciting chapter of The Secrets We Tell! lilolu
