Harry Potter: What Should Have Happened
DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything. I only own Emily Piper Johnson (since she based of me as a person) aren't you people tired of hearing this yet?
AN: READ THIS!! See. this is one you kinda want to read especially if you've been reading the other author notes that I've been writing! I'm thinking about bringing Peter in just for the sake of the story but he won't be important really. just a few things that Voldemort wants him to do will pop up randomly and I think I'll make it to where James and Sirius find out that Peter's the one causing all the chaos but I'm not sure yet. give me some input on it and I'll try my best to put it in! Thanks so much for reading this! And sorry again this took so long to bring out but I can't seem to think of anything to write and on top of that my internet had been down (stupid Charter hook- ups) anyway. for those of you who would like to know I'm going to try to post two chapters at the same time. but no guarantees!
Chapter 9
Getting Ready For You-Know-What
By UltimateFairyQueen
*~*~*
*James' POV*
I was awakened by a rapid poking to my forearm. "Who's there?" I whispered into the black common room.
"It's us!" Remus's soft voice answered.
"What are you doing awake at this hour? No one is stupid enough to be awake!" I asked trying not to move (Lily was still laying on him).
"I was hungry!" Sirius shot back.
"Sirius. you're always hungry! Why did you wake me up? Not to just tell me that, I hope, you know where the kitchens are!" I wondered angrily. Lily stirred slightly.
"We heard something outside!" Sirius replied sheepishly.
"Well, you're fifth years, go see what it is! It's not that hard, seriously Sirius!" I said. "Besides, I'm a little tied up here!"
"I can see that! But we wanted to tell you so that just incase someone came in and tried to kill you or something!" Remus assumed knowingly.
"Well, thank you very much. I think, now may I go back to sleep?"
*~*~*
*Remus's POV*
"Yes, yes, you can sleep!" I sighed. "All right, Sirius, we have to find out what's out there."
"How?"
"By going out there! Just like James said!"
"Fine, but you're going first!"
"On three, ready?" Sirius nodded. "One."
"Two."
"THREE!!!" we both said at the same time and kicked open the portrait hole to find a very pudgy boy standing in front of them.
"Hey, kid, what are you doing here?" I asked, the boy turned around, his watery eyes became as big as apples and he fled.
"Who was that?" Sirius wondered.
"Peter Pettigrew, Slytherin, 4th year, not much of a student and a sorry friend."
"How do you know that?"
"He's been in trouble so many times this year; I even know his favourite colour!"
"But you haven't been in dentition at all this year!"
"No, but I help out in there every ones and a while, he's always in there when I am."
"Should we tell James, so he won't worry?" Sirius asked as they wondered back into the common room, shutting the portrait behind them.
I glanced at the couch where the two teens were laying and smiled. "Not right now, Sirius, not right now," I answered and went up the stairs of the boys' dormitory.
Sirius stared at the stairs, then at the two on the couch, then back at there stairs, was it just him or had everyone been acting really weird lately?
*~*~*
*Lily's POV*
I woke suddenly and peered around; I wasn't in the girls' dormitory but the common room. What was I doing in here? I looked up at the figure that I had fallen asleep on, James Potter lay asleep, his head leaned backwards against the back of the couch. I smiled slightly and nudged him. James' head jerked up and he looked around.
*~*~*
*James' POV*
"Where am I?" I asked myself, my eyes wouldn't come into focus.
"We're in the common room," I turned my head at the sound of another voice my vision suddenly cleared to the wondrous Lily Evans, "we fell asleep in here last night." She explained still smiling.
"What time is it?" I asked while rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.
Lily looked outside, sunlight bounced off of her auburn hair. "The sun says it's about 7 o' clock, I think. I was never good at that kind of thing!" she blushed.
"It doesn't matter, forget about it."
"Thanks for listening last night; I needed to tell someone besides Piper, she kept telling me she knew who it was but would never tell me!" Lily huffed, then calmed slightly. "Oh well, I'm going to go to breakfast, I'll talk to you later, James, all right?"
I made a small nod, watched as Lily stood up and my gaze locked on her small figure. The portrait closed behind her, I jumped up and made a small whoop of joy before I bounded up the stairs to my dorm.
*~*~*
*Lily's POV*
The clock struck midnight and I rushed over to the sleeping figure that laid in the bed next to my own.
"Piper! Wake up!" Piper groaned.
"What do you want?"
"It's Christmas Eve! Piper. today is the day of the ball!" I replied a little too happily for Piper to handle.
"Go away before I put a full body bind on you! And I'll never take it off!" Piper called through her pillow as she reached for her wand on her bedside table.
"Fine, party pooper!"
*~*~*
*Piper's POV*
Only six and a half hours later did it finally occur to me what Lily had said. I jumped out of my own bed and ran over to the window, pulling the shades open, I laughed loudly. "Today is the day of the ball! HAHAHA, everyone get up we have to start getting ready!" she yelled pulling the curtains back on the four poster beds. A few of the girls flinched from the brightness of the sun and it being so early and others took an extra pillow and threw it at me with a discomforted groan.
"Piper, it's not even 7 o'clock!" Lanka Funsus, we call her Teddy since she's so innocent looking, yelled from her bed in the corner. okay she wasn't acting too innocent right then, but the majority of the time she is!
"I know! But didn't you hear me? Today is the day of the ball! Get up before I make you get up!" I called to the room of girls, no one moved.
"All right then, you asked for it." I began. Cataracta!" I yelled and water streamed out of my wand. Screams could be heard from a kilometer a way, I just knew it!
"Piper, are you crazy? We don't even have classes today!" Lily screamed at me her red hair dripping wet.
"May I ask, what is going on here?" Kelsey Anderson asked at the fifth year girls' dorm door, her bath robe was wrapped around her and her hair was a mess.
"Um, well, Kelsey, um, you see that, um." Piper tried to explain.
"She got a little over excited about the ball today, that's all!" Teddy said making her way over to the doorway.
"Don't let it happen again! Some of us, in the house, like to sleep for as long as we can on Saturdays, Miss Johnson, and I personally wouldn't mind giving you a detention right this minute," Kelsey threatened then her hard demeanor softened, "but since I know what it's like to be a fifth year and have a ball coming up, I'll let you off this time, but Piper, if you let this happen again I'll be forced to give you one, do you understand?"
I nodded solemnly, but inside I was smiling, I knew that Kelsey wouldn't be able to give me a detention.
*~*~*
*Lily's POV*
"Lily, would you hurry up in there? There are other people who need to finish getting ready to, you know!" Piper yelled through the bathroom door.
"I'm hurrying as fast as I can!" I called back through the door as looked at myself in the mirror.
"I'm coming in whether you want me to or not, I have to get my makeup!" Teddy whined and barged in on me.
She stopped, "What?" I asked as I looked at her worriedly checking myself in the mirror again.
"You-,"
"Lily! Oh my word! You look beautiful!" Piper breathed. (AN: HAHAH! You thought I was going describe what the dress looks like! Nope not yet! You'll just have to wait! ()
I blushed. "No, I don't, I look like I normally do! You-," I was cut off though when an owl came flying into our dorm (the window was open).
I landed on my shoulder that didn't have a sleeve on it and the rest of the girls in the dorm began to freak out. Different comments came from their mouths and some of them were not something I would want to repeat! I took the owl to my bed where I let it sit and took the note from where it was tied to his leg.
After many weeks of this owl coming to visit me at odd times I grew to know what to expect from it and so did Piper, who decided to join me on my bed, and while I read the note she looked over my shoulder.
"Is that the answer to your question, Lil?" she asked me and I nodded.
Teddy came running over to the bed not even paying attention to what she called a mess maker (the owl). "Who's it from?"
"My date," I stated simply, she didn't know about the other letters.
"Oh, what's it say?"
"It's doesn't matter! Just go finish getting ready before you're late!" Piper remarked and continued to look over my shoulder.
"All right, whatever you say, ma'am!"
"What does it say?" Piper repeated when Lanka had gone.
"'You wanted to know how you would know it's me, follow these simple instructions: come down to the entrance hall at half part seven you'll see me at the banister waiting for you with two items in my hand, one red rose and a package with a silver bow. As soon as I see you walk down the last step I will walk over to you and give you a small kiss on the cheek and then lead you into the Great Hall where you can decide to do one of two things: you can leave me at the door or you can follow me to the dance floor. My waiting is patient when it comes to you. With love.'"
"So, that's what lover-boy has to say this time, huh? That's interesting enough! All right, little miss, you don't have time to ponder over this right now, you have to finish getting ready, and I have to do your hair, come, come, let's go, lots to do, and not much time to do it in!" Piper said shooing me back to the mirror.
