***Same day as ch.2 about…9:00 p.m.***
Lily quickly walked back from the prefect bathroom's where she had just taken a warm bath, to help calm her nerves.
"Belly-Jelly" she muttered, re-gripping her toiletries bag and tightening the position of her cloak around her body.
"Don't care for a chat do you?" asked the plump pink dressed lady that concealed the Gryffindor common room. "Um…I'm rather in a hurry if you don't mind." Lily stated annoyance evident in her voice. "Very well!" huffed the lady in the pink dress.
Upon entering the common room, Laurali (one of Lily's roommates) caught her by the elbow. "Hey I heard you had quite the run in with James Potter this morning in the Great Hall?" she questioned.
"Um…I really wouldn't call it 'a run in', more of a…clumsy accident." Lily said waving her hands around, and getting a flip of chestnut hair along with a giggle from Laurali. She really didn't mean for her 'clumsy accident' comment to be funny, but I guess that it really was. Even if the comment was a bit on the comical side she wasn't in the mood what-so-ever to entertain the girl with her embarrassing stunts. "oh, funny Lily now tell me what happened?" Laurali pushed. Now she was agitating Lily! Usually Lily was a nice person and would just play it cool through situations like this but… She wasn't still upset over the hole pumpkin juice incident, no she was just upset with…life! (so she wasn't in the mood to talk with Laurali) Not life particularly but…your getting rid of Laurali right now not debating what your problem is at the moment! She thought to herself.
"You know, Laurali I don't think Lily's in the mood to chat with you right this instant!" Clarissa had stepped in her blue eyes narrowed. She had apparently been listening in on the conversation, and had spotted Lily's hesitation to get into the subject. Taking her by the elbow just as Laurali had done, Clarissa steered Lily towards the dormitories.
Once in there room, Lily gracefully sat down on her bed while Clarissa plopped down beside her.
"Don't mind her Lil-" Clarissa began. But Lily cut her off, "You didn't have to do that, I could of dealt with her my own way she just wanted to know what happened." Lily said holding her anger at bay. "Ya, by telling her something that you don't feel like talking about, and that your obviously are STILL upset with!" Clarissa said keeping her cool. She was used to this type of conversation. She was often 'saving Lily' from explaining things she didn't want to talk about. Lily was a nice person, and she wasn't to well at telling someone to just…bug off. So Clarissa thought being the good friend that she is she would just step in and tell the person to leave the subject alone.
"I'm not upset about that, Clarissa!" Lily said with an edge in her tone.
"Then what is it Lily, what's bugging you so much that you; hardly talked for the rest of breakfast, lunch, AND dinner, you didn't attempt answering any questions during classes, and then right after you had dinner you came up her got your bag and then went straight to the prefects bathroom, what's bothering you so much" Clarissa said with worry bright in her voice. Choosing to ignore her Lily traveled the short distance to the end of her bed and began digging in her trunk. "Was it James, did he say something to you, DID he Lily!" Clarissa said moving from her spot on the bed and crawling on all fours towards the end of the bed where Lily sat. "No!" Lily said in a annoyed tone, and thrust an envelope towards Clarissa and dug deeper in her trunk.
"Now, what is this?" asked Clarissa, holding the envelope in her hands and turning it around. "Isn't this the letter you got this morning from your family?" she added.
"Mhmm", Lily said finding what she had been looking for.
"Well what do you want me too do with it." Clarissa said crawling off of Lily's bed to go and sit on her own.
"Read it Clarissa!" Lily said with a forced smile as she headed over to the seat under the window, quill and diary in hand.
"Oh, alright then could you pass it over here."
Rolling her eyes Lily thrust her things on the seat beneath the window and made her way back to her bed.
"Why thank you." Clarissa said in a fake butler tone and began to open and read the letter.
Once Lily was comfortably settled on the window seat (Soap sitting comfortably on her feet) she opened her suede black book to the last page that she had written on, and began to write.
Dear Diary,
Hm… I've cooled down a bit since my last entry, and now that I've read over it , I feel that I have come off as a rather whiny and childish person. But then in the far recesses of my mind a tiny voice says that you're my diary and that you're the one who I confide in and that my problems may sound petty but…but there what I feel just written down on paper, instead of stored away in my mind.
A sigh escaped Lily as she thought of a way to write down the rest of what was on her mind.
My issue with my parents is still in my head and I'm constantly thinking of a proper way to reply to my mums letter. But nothing comes to mind. Even though I've taken time to cool down from my previous state, I'm still awfully upset over the hole matter and every time I think of something that would be remotely nice I always end up turning it into something awful and rude.
Could you just imagine mums and dads reaction to a letter that had all my feelings in it. They would absolutely…I, I don't know how they really would react… but it's as sure as the sun is going to rise tomorrow morning that the outcome wouldn't be to fathomable. There such good people, I don't know how I could ever write a letter that's so terrible, that the outcome I don't even know. Don't get me wrong, diary I don't feel any different about the whole situation but I feel that I could never hurt my parents in such a way… They've taken care of me all my life (of course that is a parents job). Oh, diary I just feel so ungrateful thinking of such a thing!
Do you recall me telling you that I had a bad morning not including the letter that I got from my parents? Well of course you do. Right after I had gotten my letter, somehow or another I ended up spilling Pumpkin Juice all over James Potter. I'm not sure if I have told you much about him, have I? No I don't recall doing so, so I will tell you what I do know. Which I must remind you isn't too much.
James Potter is his full name, I suppose. He too is in Gryffindor, and is in the same year as I, as well as my fellow prefect. It's rather funny isn't it? We've been at the same school for 6 years and have never really sat down and had a conversation with him. I'm ashamed to admit it but I guess that I'm not really the social butterfly that Clarissa, Laurali, and Emily are (all three are Lily's roommates, but Clarissa is closest to Lily the other are friends, just merely friends.). I presume that people do know of me, me being best friends with Clarissa and only friends with Laurali and Emily in all, but they really don't know me as…as me, neither does anyone else in this school besides Clarissa.
Although I can recall a conversation that I had once with a hufflepuff, 2 ravenclaws, and a fellow Gryffindor. They said that I was known for my top marks (especially in Charms!), my friends (Clarissa, Emily and Laurali), and "how nice I am." Oh, I guess that those are good qualities but…well I don't know, I should be happy that people don't know me as a… for lack of better words…man whore (meaning can't keep a girlfriend for more than a week, and can't be without one for more than a week.) like Siris Black. The little that I have talked to him he seems like a rather nice guy though, I hope I'm not portraying him as some ruthless arrogant conceded boy. Because he really isn't.
Oh, dear me! I've been blabbing an awfully lot about what people think of me and so forth! How selfish one feels when one talks so much about ones self.
Now where was I? Oh, yes about James and not talking much with him. Well Siris Black, as I mentioned above, along with Remus Lupin, and Peter Petegrew (sp?) (and no not Clarissa's boyfriend, but another Peter and by the way Clarissa and Peter (S.) are doing fine!) are James' best friends.
Well Clarissa's bugging me to talk with her about the letter that mum wrote me, so I'll write to you later diary.
Yours,
Lily
P.S. In all truth be told diary, I find James Potter rather cute.
***James***
James sat on the floor, back against his bed, and knees to his chest leaning over and charming his uniform. When someone walked in and addressed him, "What the bloody hell are you doing, Prongs?"
Looking up James saw Peters short, piggish body standing over him and casting a round shadow on his clothes.
"Um…actually I'm charming my Hogwarts uniform." James informed him, moving out of Peters shadow.
"Oh, sorry ." Peter said making his way carefully over to the nearest bed.
" What would you want to do that for?" added Peter as he shoved books and clothes off of Remus' comforter.
"You know when I came to change this morning? Well I didn't have time to get the Pumpkin Juice stain out, so that's what I'm doing now!"
"Oh, ok then well if you see Siris tell him I've got a idea for the next prank." Peter said jumping up and heading for the door.
"2nd prank." James groaned. "We haven't even done this one Wormtail, don't go getting Siris all wound up over another prank or he's going to want to move this one up so he can start the new prank YOU have in mind!" James said murmuring another spell towards his white shirt. Huffing and Puffing Peter continued his journey out of the room and to…to where ever he was headed.
"What's his problem?" James muttered to himself as he lifted up his whit button up shirt.
"I don't know do you think it was…perhaps your commit?" asked in anonymous voice from the doorway that could be identified as Siris Black. Moving his shirt, which was blocking his view James addressed Siris.
"My commit wasn't all that rude padfoot."
"well it might not have been your commit but perhaps your tone? From what Peter said it was rather nasty!" Siris said in a calm collective voice, now leaning agents the door frame arms across his chest and a pointed look on his face. "Oh, all right I'll apologize to him once I see him again." James said as Siris' expression changed from pointed to satisfied. James then added, "So where is Remus?"
" he's down in the common room talking to Peter and te-" But Siris was cut off, by Remus.
"Not anymore."
"Oh, well he's not down in the common room he's right here." Sirs said as he moved out of his position and placed an arm around Peter (P.), while giving him a nookie with the other.
Rolling his eyes Remus went over and sat down next to James and began to help him charm the rest of his cloths. Thank goodness I needed help, James thought and smiled gratefully at Remus, who in return gave James an apologetic look.
Meanwhile Peter (P.) was struggling to get out of Siris' grip, while Siris' laughter filled the room along with a few chuckles from James and Remus. Just as Siris' grip released on Peter (P.) James and Remus finished the charming.
"Who's up for the kitchens?" Siris said in a hushed voice.
"Oh, me!" called Peter.
"Oiy, Peter wait a moment I just wanted to-" But James was cut off be Peter (P.).
"It's fine James no need to worry." He trailed off as Siris pushed him out of the door and winked at his friends who were staying back. James was amused how can Siris stay so fit and skinny when he eats so much?
Remus saw the look on Siris' face and said, "I know."
Chuckling James turned his attention towards Remus. "Hey thanks for helping me with the stains I thought I was never going to get them out."
Laughing a bit Remus nodded his head, and then his expression turned serious. "How about we go down to the lake." Not catching on James agreed. Both getting up James went to the door to wait for Remus look for his cloak.
"You know were really 'slobs' ." Remus said referring to a muggle quote and while digging under a pile of cloths that were scattered on the floor.
"I know but where teenage wizards, what do you expect?" questioned James
Chuckling a little Remus agreed as he pulled his cloak from under the pile of cloths, and they made there way to the lake.
***
To explain this, Laurali and Lily are friends but there nothing like Clarissa and Lily's friendship. There just gossip buddies, Lily just kind of puts up with her. You haven't really been introduced to Emily but she's more friends with Lily then Laurali. Just letting you know that…
