James and Lily: Ice Skating
Sorry. Not posting lately. I was too lazy these days. I finally finished a chapter, and I took the opportunity (when fanfic was in maintenance) to finish chap 9 and start chap 10. Usually I would be reading, you see. So, read on. There's a surprise!
**************************************************************************** ***********************
It was wintertime in Hogwarts, right on Christmas 24th. Miya had become apart of the Gryffindor family, and had top grades at every topic except potions. (I wonder why. Hehe)
Lily and James were still single. James didn't have a partner to the ball yet, but Lily managed to snatch Amos Diggory. The three girls also managed to find out Miya had a huge crush on James. But they did have doubts. James still kept to his 'when the right girl comes along'.
Sirius was constantly dating and breaking, with Bella to go to the ball with. Bella was very happy, to Lily's astonishment.
Maria and Remus was an item as well, from sixth year. So, naturally, they would be going to the ball together.
The Marauders had managed to complete their Marauder Map and Animagus experiment. James was a stag, Sirius a black dog; Peter was a rat, (HAHA, PETER, DIE!) and, well, Remus was a werewolf.
Now we shall go back to the story, and the date now is December 24th.
#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@
Lily groaned and buried her head into her pillow. A bouncing Miya had just rudely wakened her up.
"It is snowing! It is snowing! We must go outside!" cried Miya, bouncing across the floor.
"Gosh, Mi, you act like you've never seen snow before." Groaned Bella, burrowing her head into her pillow.
"Oh, wake up wake up wake up!" cried Miya, and began pulling off their blankets.
"OH NO, YOU WON'T! GIVE ME BACK MY BLANKIE!!!" Screamed Maria in rage, and tugged back her blanket from Miya.
Soon there was a fierce fight of tug-o-war. But Maria won. Bad ending. Why? Because Miya did the only thing left to do to wake the others up; whipping up her wand.
They all knew her powers, so Lily jerked awake. But unfortunately, Maria and Bella were still too drowsy to notice.
Miya pointed her wand at the blanket Maria was clutching. "Freeziem!" she cried, and next pointed her bed at the bed Bella was laying on. "Frevia!" she cried next.
Everything happened too fast . . . Because it was a massacre of screaming girls next.
Maria screamed as her blanket turned into a smooth crystal clear sculpture of a blanket containing her blanket inside.
That was a lot better compared to Bella's happening . . .
Because her bed turned upside-down.
In the AIR.
Yes, naughty naughty Miya had levitated her bed and turned her upside-down in mid-air. Bella screamed and made a swift grab for the bed's sides, failing to do so.
But she managed to stay on.
"MIYA MATSUMOTO!!!! TURN THIS RIGHT THIS INSTANT!!!" screamed the two raging girls.
Miya smiled sweetly. "Outside?" she asked innocently.
Bella and Maria groaned. "Fine." They snapped.
Miya smiled brightly and pointed her wand at Bella. "Wingardium Leviosa!" she carefully levitated Bella back to the ground gently.
Next, she pointed to Maria's blanket. "Imfreeziem!" she cried, and the blanket melted before their eyes.
Lily sighed. At least she was safe. She yawned and pulled on a sweatshirt.
"C'mon, guys, before Miya comes up with another wild idea." Said Lily.
Miya was known to have the wildest ideas. That made spending time with her a little risky. But nonetheless, she was a bright, fun, on going girl who was liked by everyone. She had made herself popular in a week at Hogwarts. She shed off all her shyness on her first week as well, without the help from Brittany.
They all groaned and changed as quickly as they could.
"All ready." Bella declared as she swished on her cloak.
Maria groaned again. "I can't find my other thick cloak. Where do you reckon it is?" she asked.
"Oh, do hurry up. Just grab a cloak and let's get on our merry way before Miya decides to blow up the place." Said Lily impatiently.
Maria paled. "Right. Here it is. Let's go." ?
Just a little side information-
On their first month at Hogwarts, Miya was having a VERY bored time at History of Magic. You know how HoM could be a drag, especially if you know the lesson by heart.
So bad little Miya decided to do some experiments. She raised her wand and began experimenting many spells, whispering unknown spells.
Then, disaster struck.
Miya had just yelled an "Embombio".
Suddenly, the whole room exploded with a loud bang. Students were thrown off of their chairs and an astonished looking Professor Binns stood there, open-mouthed.
Soon, the smoke cleared out and a charcoaled Miya standing in the middle of the room, grinning sheepishly and hiding her wand behind her back. "Uh, sorry?" she asked.
Binns had yelled at Miya for an hour and she had received a week of detention plus 20 points from Gryffindor.
So that was what they meant by 'before Miya blows up the room'.
Miya had done nonsense like overflowing the Potions room with orange jelly and stuff, but it would take a year to tell everything.
Now back to the story.
The four Gryffindors quietly slipped into the common room. Just as Miya reached for the portrait, the boys dorms door opened and a ruffled James entered.
"Hello. What are you doing at this time?" he asked, yawning.
Thankfully, he didn't notice Miya turning redder every second.
Maria kicked Miya. "Stop staring. He'll notice." Hissed Maria.
"O-Oh, right. W-well, we s-should be g-going." Stuttered Miya, and dragged them out, leaving a very confused James.
Bella pulled away from Miya's grip. "I don't get it. Why do you keep running away from him when you like him?" she asked skeptically.
"Oh, I just forget everything when I meet him. I just don't know why." She said with a sigh.
"Never mind, never mind. If we don't go now we won't have time to ice skate." She said cheerfully, and marched on. "Hey, you guys coming?"
They all scrambled out the great hall, into the cold, white, snowy outside.
Miya rushed beside the frozen lake. She began making something from the snow.
She noticed them all staring at her and gave them a funny look. "What are you waiting for, make your ice skates!" she said, patting the snow beside her.
Bella stared at her as if she was insane. "How?" she asked.
"What how?" asked Miya back quizzically.
"How do we make ice skates out of SNOW?" asked Maria in aw.
Miya giggled. "You don't know how?" she said, showing them her sculpture.
"NO!" they shouted, creating a very confused Miya.
"Oh, you don't? Then sit down." She ordered.
They all sat down.
"Well, take some snow and begin shaping your snow into the type on ice skates you want them to be. You don't have to make the wholes or the strings. See, like this." She said, showing them her pair of 'ice' skates.
They all nodded uncertainly. "Is that all? How can we wear it when it can melt in out feet?" Bella asked.
Miya giggled again and shook her head. "No way! How can we put our feet in it when there's no space in the ice?" she asked.
"Well, then you have to point to the skates and say 'Skatiem'. It's a spell I found during Care of Magical Creatures." She said, as she pointed to her skate and yelled the spell.
They all gasped as she showed them her new made skates. It was a beautiful skate, pure white as a grown unicorn, and smooth. But it was missing a lot of things. Like the blades and strings.
"Next, you can make the decorations. For the strings, you make a spell rope. All you have to do is reach into your mind and pull out a good sturdy rope made of spells. It's easy, try it." Said Miya, as a beautiful piece or golden string appeared in her hands.
"Fairy string, like I prefer." Miya said with a shrug.
"Next." She said with a sigh.
Bella spoke up. "Wait, we can't make spell rope like you, we aren't powerful enough." She said with a frown.
Miya sighed deeper. "I forgot. You know what, I should have given you an easier way to make your skates. I will now give you the power of imagination. Stand still and bow your head." She ordered them, as they all stood still and bowed their head.
Miya took out a bag of smooth white crystal sand and sprinkled it on their head.
"Oh wake thee lord,
The power of imagination,
Release it to the sprinkled friends,
To make some merry skates,
Just for two hours."
Suddenly, they all felt a mystical, magical power surge into her body.
Lily gasped and looked at the grinning Miya. "H-How did you do that?" she asked her.
Miya grinned. "A little trick I know." She said. "Now, imagine the skates you want. Every detail. You have to imagine the size, the weight, how it feels, the color, and all those stuff. Magic doesn't know skates. I don't need to be sprinkled. I already have that power from the beginning." She explained.
Lily closed her eyes. She imagined soft, comfortable shiny white skates that fit her snuggly and a shiny new silver blade that glided through the ice easily. White strings made of cotton criss-crossed through the front.
She opened her eyes slowly and gasped. "Oh my gosh! How did you do that?" Because right in front of her, the skates she had just imagined was floating in front of her.
Miya just laughed. She was grabbing a pair of light blue skates and a golden blade from the air.
Miya quickly fitted on her skates. She ran up to the ice and hopped on.
~~~~~~~~~Back to James~~~~~~~~~
James frowned into the fire and began thinking deeply.
'Why won't Miya talk to me? She always runs away from me. She doesn't like me, I can tell by how she acts.' He thought. He was quite upset, for every time he took a look at Miya- That is, when she didn't notice him around- she was always laughing and smiling and chattering.
She was, well, perfect. No wonder everyone was going after her. Her Asian accent was soothing and her voice sounding so comfortable.
He wanted to reach out and touch her soft black hair. He wanted to take her into his arms. But he knew the chance was small. She had a thousand boys to choose from- why should it be him? He sighed and looked into the fire, thinking for a long time.
A "Yo James" from Sirius broke the long silence.
"Hey Padfoot, what's up?" asked James.
"Nothing, 'cept it's snowing outside. We should wake up the others and go outside," suggested Sirius.
James quickly agreed and they began throwing pillows at the two sleeping figures.
They didn't wake up.
So James decided to throw something better at them- water balloons.
James gave a great Tarzan cry and began launching the water balloons at them. The two Marauders bolted awake immediately.
"What the-." Began Remus, but was muffled by a water balloon that had just launched itself right splat on Remus' face.
"My sheets! My sheets!" cried Peter in despair, clutching the soaking blanket.
James and Sirius began laughing and said to them, "Wake up, sleeping beauty. Were going to go rock outside!"
The two boys grumbled and scowled as they dressed.
Remus sidled his eyes towards them. "Aren't you going to dress?" he asked.
James and Sirius looked down. "Oops."
They hurriedly began to dress into their warmest clothes.
James had on a thick emerald green cloak that was very warm.
Sirius had on a muggle ski jacket that made the others look at his jacket in astonishment.
"What? It's just a muggle jacket." He had said with a shrug.
"COME ON!!! Let's go outside!" cried Sirius and tore out of the common room.
"Wait for me!" they cried out and followed him out the common room.
When they got outside, James stretched his hand and sucked in the clean air. He'd never felt such good air for about a century. The land was a winter wonderland, a huge, white land that glowed in the sun.
But that wasn't what really caught his attention. What REALLY caught his attention were the girls who were laughing and giggling, sitting on the snow a few feet away from him. They were making something out of the snow.
But that wasn't what really REALLY caught his attention. It was Miya, laughing with three others.
Suddenly, she stood up. So did the others. She produced a golden velveteen bag and took out some powder or dust from it. She sprinkled the powder on to the other girls' head and chanted something.
Miya laughed again. Her charming, gentle, musical laugh. He hid behind a pile of snow while he watched the other girls.
To his horror, a pair of skates was materializing before the girls. All kinds- blue skates, white skates, gold skates.
Miya grabbed one from the air and ran up to the frozen lake, fit for ice- skating.
He didn't know what made him do this, but he stood up and walked over to the edge of the lake.
"James, what about a snow-." Said Sirius, but asked, "Where are you going?"
James ignored him and continued to walk over the edge of the lake.
Ok, unexpected. Not much of romance here, but I promise you, in the next chapter there will be a lot of those. And I just wrote on because you reviewers WON'T REVIEW AND ANSWER MY QUESTION!!!! That's what you get when you don't do what I say. *grumbles* Well, I'll forgive you and I'll continue to write, write, write and make a fantastic story!
Sorry. Not posting lately. I was too lazy these days. I finally finished a chapter, and I took the opportunity (when fanfic was in maintenance) to finish chap 9 and start chap 10. Usually I would be reading, you see. So, read on. There's a surprise!
