hey ya'll! well, i got the reviews that i asked for, so here is the chapter i promised. i hope you like it. I do. I literally laughed out loud as I
wrote it.....please review! thanks!
******************
"NO WAY! NO WAY NO WAY!" Bella shouted as I told the girls the news.
Immediately, those friends of mine who used to be cool started skipping around the room singing "We're going to have a ball! We're
going to have a ball!"
I guess that it was pretty exciting. This will be the first that we have had while I have been at school. But, I am not looking forward to the
whole date thing. Prefects lead out the ball, so I have to have one, which kinda is upsetting. Don't get me wrong. I love boys. But the
thing is, it seems like half the boys at Hogwarts are scared of me, and the other half hate me. The few I actually get along with(namely
the Maurauders) will have girls clamoring all over them, so there is no chance in hell that they will want to go with lil' ole me. I knew
there had to be a bad side to being "one of the guys" as Remus said. Oh well, I have like 4 months to get a date. I'll worry about it then.
"20 POINTS FROM HUFFLEPUFF!" was heard coming from the common room. My eyes met the girls' and we all jumped up, letting
our curiousity get the better of us, and ran to the Common Room.
Carrie, a 7th year Gryffindor prefect(who has it in for James Potter, incidentally) was yelling at Lucille--"You are not allowed to be in this
common room! 20 points. And if you open your mouth to argue with me, another 20. The same for you, Potter."
Lucille's expression soured considerably, but James just smiled as Carrie stormed out of the room.
The minute the Fat Lady swung shut, Lucille turned towards James with a furious expression on her face--"JAMES POTTER! I can't
believe that you didn't stick up for me. She was so rude (In my opinion, that's like the pot calling the kettle black) to me and you just sat
there! And you call me your girlfriend!"
James grinned and mumbled something. "What?" Lucille yelled indignantly. "Tell me NOW!"
He chuckled, then said "I never called you my girlfriend. You just assumed it." I caught Sirius' eye and almost burst out laughing.
James looked so calm at the situation.
She reared back and said "Well, I never. I can't believe that you would say that. This relationship is over!"
"What relationship?"
"UGH!" She stormed out of the common room.
It was so funny--she looked so ridiculous. I couldn't help it--I started to giggle. Then, I saw Sirius and Remus start to laugh from silent
laughter. The dam burst. We all burst into laughter. Sarah was laughing so hard that she was crying.
"What? What's so funny?" James asked. I know that he hated being left out of a joke, so I plopped down on the couch next to him.
"Do all of your breakups go like that, Potter?" I asked, trying the whole time to stifle my laughter. Needless to say, I was unsuccessful.
"Yeah..."he said, as he began to laugh at the absurdity of the situation. "I guess it was pretty funny..." That just set me off again. Before
I knew it, we were cracking up, laughing so hard that we couldn't breathe. God, he has a great laugh. I looked up at him, only to see
him looking at me.
"Hey Potter" I said, trying to break the awkwardness that had settled over what had been a comfortable situation. "You have lipstick on
your face."
He started swiping at his face randomly and he looked so damn funny that I started laughing again. It was like I couldn't stop or
something. Since breathing was once again becoming difficult, I leaned over and wiped it off with my thumb. "There you go."
"Thanks" he said, his glance never leaving my face.
Wow, ok. Lil. What the hell is going on? This is weird. Danger Danger. Get out. Now.
"Well....I better get upstairs--girl talk and all. Come on, ALES. Night Siri, Remy, Peter....James. See you on the flip side."
"Goodnight, girls" they muttered as we headed up to our familiar dormitory.
*************
"Lils, wake up!" Emma said, breaking me from my dream of flying emu racing. "We need to get down to breakfast. It's already 8
o'clock."
ugh.....I don't want to wake up. Shit. Did she say it's 8? Damnit. Damnit. Damnit. I wanted to go down and practice flying before breakfast. Ah, well. I guess there is always tomorrow. I struggled to get up. Once I dragged my lazy self from bed, I headed to the bathroom to get dressed and ready for the day. My gross wavy hair was in a ponytail, I had on my glasses--couldn't find my contacts--and my loverly school uniform.
*************
"I didn't think that after last night that I would ever eat again." Sarah said jokingly. "But, hell, I'm hungry. Might as well."
Breakfast was going great. It was hilarious. Since first year, the 8 of us (Me, Siri, Bella, James, Remus, Peter, Sarah and Em) have sat at the same spot at the Gryffindor table. We arrived to find a group of insufferable fourth years in our "unofficial" seats. Sirius put on his indignant face and gave them one of the best tell offs that I have ever heard. And that says a lot, considering who I live with.
Before we knew it, it was time for class.....
************
OK guys. Thanks for all the great reviews. Since I had 25 review the last time I checked. I will post again when I have....35....40? Somewhere around there. Don't mean to be selfish, but I am a review-hog! Hope you like the story.....
Just email with any questions or suggestions for the plot. Or, if you want to make a brief appearance in the story. I'm having issues coming up with names for characters.
