Hate, hate and hate plus how about more hate?

Chapter Six: The Song N Stuff

"Did you get it?"

"Yup!"

"Good.. Now lets decide who does what."

"Ok," ----- ----- ------ ------ ----- ----- ---- ---- ----- --- ----- ---- ----- ----- ----- -----

"Come on Lils!" Diana demanded, trying to tug off the blanket she was clutching.

"I said NO!" moaned Lily, laying on her bed and annoyed at her so-called friends.

"You can't have had enough of the infirmary food, we should know; we've experienced it!" Dana argued.

"I'll eat in the MORNING!" Lily yelled.

"Never sleep with an empty stomach!" Dana said.

"Says who?" Lily yawned.

"Says us! Now come on, get up.. March up to the Great Hall like a good little Head Girl, show everyone you're OK and EAT!" Diana demanded.

"Make me!" Lily challenged.

"Glad you asked," Dana said, smiling at Diana.

The twins cursed the blanket to fly off "Wingardium Laviosah" and then each put a hand under Lily's shoulders and dragged her out of bed.

"Do we have to change your clothes as well?" Diana asked.

"No, no. I'll do it; gosh friends can be a real pain in the arse sometimes! Can't they?" Lily muttered.

"Shut up and put on some clothes!!" The twins yelled.

----- ----- ------ ------ ----- ----- ---- ---- ----- --- ----- ---- ----- ----- ----- -----

The Marauders watched the doors of the Great Hall expectantly. People were beginning to leave, that was worrying them.

"Come on girls where are you?" Sirius said, checking out his watch..

"Patience, Sirius," Remus said. "They should be here any minute."

"And there they are... Look, Lily's back! OK, let's get ready to start our plan in action." James said.

"I swear, from a week when you'll be yelling your head off at the redhead again you'll be laughing at yourself remembering how concerned you were, correction- are, for her!" Peter squeaked.

James glared at him as Sirius and Remus chuckled.

---- ---- ---- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ------ ------ ------

Lily beamed as she was making her way alongside the twins up to some empty chairs at the Gryffindor Table.

Everyone from all houses (except for Slytherin ofcourse) was greeting her...

"Hey Lils, good to see you back!"

"Lily!! Thank god you're fine! We've been worried."

"Our Head Girl's back?! Hip Hip, Hooooraaay!" (Lily blushed at this one)

"Ms. Evans, looking as good as ever!"

"Thank you everyone! It's nice to see you all too." Lily called, taking a seat next to the twins who proudly began filling up her plate.

----- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ------ ------

"NOW!" Remus announced.

James stood up and cleared his throat. It was magically broadcasted all over the Great Hall. Everyone turned to look at him, surprised.

"Hello everyone, in honour of the recovery of our Head Girl, we Marauders decided to give you all a nice little song.. Literally written and based on a certain Slytherin's diary: Lucius Malfoy!"

Everyone cheered, some turned to briefly laugh at Malfoy, who turned as white as snow all of a sudden.

A melody magically appeared...

All four Marauders stood up on their chairs and each began a solo dance routine.

Sirius, James and Remus: Dear Diary, I feel like I'm a git who's part of no real friendship team... My underwears are always stinky, I always have to charm 'em clean...

Peter: Yeah, yeah...

Sirius, James and Remus: Oh Dearest Diary, I can't get my mind to go off this certain girl that always makes me beam.. Why on her am I so keen? Oh but the other Damned Slytherins mustn't know... Because I have to either sneer or smirk and be low...

Peter: Ohhhhhh!

Sirius, James and Remus: Dear dearie Diary: I think what the people are saying about my empty mind is true: It's as empty and as hard.. As rocks! Oh shucks, I thought I saw my girl, smile and wink, at me.. Oh please make her one day at breakfast offer me some tea..

Peter: Oh please, oh please..

Sirius, James and Remus: Dear DELICIOUS diary: Oh I had a dream... About you-know-who!!! I know, I just want it to go! To be real! To make me feel! Like a tear in my eye, I have to make it a lie!!

Peter: Lie Lie Lie...

Sirius, James and Remus: Finally Diary: If anyone wants to see and read the full version of my diary pages, immediately say "Luc-ius is-a Rat-to" and you will find a copy of the thing in your hand! We're the Marauders now ready to go... (With Peter:) Ladies and gentlemen please stay in your seats and we hope you've enjoyed the shooooooooww.....

Sirius: Thank you very much!!

The song and broadcasting charm ended, the Marauders bowed and happily sat down.

People were laughing and clapping, people were commenting and complimenting, people were starting to enchant "Luc-ius is-a Rat-to" and beginning to read about the everyday life of Lucius Malfoy and shaking their heads at it while sniggering and laughing, girls were drooling (over the new band and old popular charming boys)...

However, there were only two people that had the most interesting reactions.

The first was Lily who was going to up to the Marauders and giving them a hug each.

"Awww.. Lil," Sirius said in a fake gushing voice as she embraced him "you don't have to thank meeeee... You know I'd do anything for a veela like you." She slugged the back of his head lightly, giggling.

She only gave Peter a quick brief one (and had to lower her back to do so!), Remus got a tight friendly hug.

It was now James's turn.

She walked up to him with everyone watching. She smiled shyly and vice versa.

"I'm sorry about the boils.." She stated. Wow! His eyes are so chocolaty brown and dreamy.. Whoa!! Did she just think THAT about JAMES???! She most certainly didn't!

James laughed heartily "Forget it! Hope you liked our song," I've always known her eyes were an amazing green, but I've never analyzed them this up- close befo- wait! What was he thinking about LILY?!

"I DID!! I never thought I'd ever say this, but: Thank you James Potter!!"

And, still with everyone watching, she kneeled up (he was so tall) and threw her arms around his shoulders. He squeezed her back. Feeling her body against him, any desire to kick his ass and cry at the pain he's caused her flew away. Strangely, this is was the only time she felt so secure! Nothing, not Lucius or anyone, could harm her; she was in his safe strong hands. The hands of the guy she spent her time at Hogwarts considering to be 'the enemy' and yelling her head off at.

Him, holding her petite body, felt the urge to protect her from all harm. She was so pretty to be harmed, so smart and talented with lots of potential, she couldn't go to waste.

That's what was going through their heads, until they were snapped to reality and breaking apart by their friends. With their friends making catcalls, teasing and commotioning it was hard not to be embarrassed. Careful not to cat each other's eyes, they both slightly grinned. All seven friends (including Diana and Dana) left to go up to their Gryffindor dorms and have a good night's sleep.

The second person to have an interesting reaction was Lucius.

He was followed by angry yells from his fellow Slytherins, laughter and mockery from every angle. His face, probably the first time in his 17-year- old life, shot a bright pink.

Even Snape was embarrassed to be seen with him! He got up from his char, not bothering to tuck it in, he shot a look at the Gryffindor table that would've caused Hercules to yell in fright, and fled from the Great Hall, everyone's teasing and laughter following him.

Narcrissa saw this and ran after him. He was stalking away; she ran up and spun his shoulders so he could face her.

"WHAT?!" He spat.

"I hope the girl you were talking about in your diary was me!" She answered, looking him sharply in the eye for the first time.

"Well hope for World Hunger for all I care!" Lucius snarled, pushing past her and continuing to his destination.

Hurt, she stared after him, plotting her ways.........
