Chapter Two
Sirius took a while to let it register into his brain. Pink. Red. Purple. Blue. The variety of colours his face could turn was amusingly endless. Then, he EXPLODED into peels of laughter. It was rare for the composed Sirius to break down like this and he was beginning to scare the girls, including the enraged Lily, although she was too furious to actually care if Sirius were to decompose into a pile of faeces. She would be quite relieved if he did actually, for what he had heard was something that Lily could not live with if word got out. She was actually quite shocked that her trusted roommates did not have the decency to at least keep it to themselves. She was pissed off. Lillian Evans was not one to be messed with when she was mad. With superhuman strength, she knocked her wand out of Stacy's hand and caught it perfectly. Sirius was still quite discoloured and breathless from laughing and did not notice that Lily had the wand pointed to his head. She grabbed Stacy's big vanity case full of new makeup and waved it around hysterically. Stacy's eyes nearly popped out of her head when she saw Lily just waiting to zap it and change it into a bunch of toads. She hopped around the room like a mad monkey, picking up all her roommates' most treasured items and threatened them that if they dare blackmail her, she would change all the items into miniature Snape dolls. That was harsh. She also threatened to mention the "little incident" about Sirius that he had declined to reveal, to everyone in the Great Hall. Lily cackled evilly (rather insanely actually), much to the annoyance of her roommates and Sirius. They knew that Lily had got them there and so, they each had to make a promise not to tell or discuss this incident with anyone otherwise they'd face the wrath of Lillian Evans.
Over breakfast, Lily was unusually touchy and when James asked her to pass the butter she snapped at him, "Do you not have arms? I'm sure your mouth is probably more experienced but your arms do serve a purpose." James muttered to himself, "Girls. Must be PMS." Lily also snapped at Peter, but then again, everyone snaps at Peter. Sirius conveniently had a rather bad cough that morning and kept coughing, trying his hardest to send some sort of a message across, but fortunately for him his efforts were in vain. Lily's roommates were amazingly quieter than usual. (Note, not quiet but quieter, which, for them was still pretty loud.) "Cough cough." "Sirius dear, you do seem to have an awful cough, you really should see the nurse in case you have a fatal disease that befalls anyone who has eaten some HORRID stuff." Lily said calmly, with just a hint of impatience in her voice. Sirius' cough was miraculously cured after that.
Later on that night, Lily was scared to sleep. Every now and then she'd hear one of her roommates whisper "James." and a whole stream of giggles after that. Lily just either swore at them or pretended to be asleep.
The next morning, Lily woke up grouchy as ever to find her roommates perched on the corners of her bed, straining to hear anything she might have said. She muttered a whole lot of vulgarities at them and trudged to the bathroom to wash up. When she emerged from the bathroom, she didn't look much better. She had dark rings around her eyes, her hair was quite screwed up and she was still muttering vulgarities, although to herself this time. Her roommates huddled on Stacy's bed, making an effort to stay at least two meters away from Lily, in case she combusted. Surprisingly, Lily just shuffled to the wardrobe and pulled out a robe and put it on inside out. Having done that, she walked out silently, leaving her roommates in shock, because they had never seen Lily like this. Was she going crazy? It was hard to tell.
Down in the common room, Lily shuffled to the fireplace and plopped herself rather heavily into one of the squishy armchairs. In another was James and he greeted her annoyingly chirpy, "Good morning Miss PMS!" Lily muttered a stream of invectives at James and he tutted, "Touchy touchy eh.what is wrong with you these days?" Lily made a not-so-polite gesture with her middle finger and James said, "Ok ok.honestly, just asking."
