Chapter 6
Or "Draco's First Time"
That night, some time after dinner had ended, Lily was leaving the library and heading back to the Ravenclaw common room when she was confronted by three figures.
Two were big, muscular and brainless (some people even LOOK like absolute retards when they're dumb enough), while the other one (the one in the middle) was smaller, more intelligent-looking, and very, very, pale. He was practically albino.
"What do you want?" asked Lily. The pale skinnier one whispered something to his bodyguards (Lily said later that that was what it looked like, and we're going with her version), who then sort of faded into the background, which was a remarkable feat for people that stupid. In any case, if you haven't figured it out already, the two big stupid ones were Crabbe and Goyle, which made the skinny guy in the middle a very nervous-looking Draco Malfoy.
"Erm… So, uh, hullo Lily." He said somewhat idiotically.
"Hullo, Malfoy…" she replied cautiously.
"Um, you know we're going to Hogsmeade tomorrow…"
"Doesn't everyone?"
"Erm, well, I suppose so, but anyway, um… Your being new here and all, I was wondering…"
"What?"
"Would you like to go to Hogsmeade with me?"
"Why?"
"Uh, so I can, uh, you know, show you around 'n' stuff…" Lily considered this for a moment, and then gave him her answer:
"No." Malfoy became very angry. Nobody, but nobody turned a Malfoy down! He signaled to Crabbe and Goyle, and they advanced, driving sledgehammer fists into their hands, ready to teach this insolent upstart a lesson. She set down her books.
* * *
Later, just outside the Ravenclaw tower…
"Hey, have you guys seen Lily?"
"Nope, sorry. Why?"
"She went to the library like three hours ago or something and she isn't back yet."
"Did you check your dorm?"
"Yes, AND the common room, AND the edges of the Forbidden Forest, AND by Hagrid's place. We looked everywhere, but we can't find her!"
Just then, Lily walked up, inspecting her nails.
"Hey guys."
"Oh, thank goodness! We thought you'd died or something!"
"Nah. You know something?" Lily's attention was completely focused on getting something out from under her nail.
"What?"
"The problem with blood is that it's extremely difficult to get out from under your nails."
* * *
The next morning, Sally, Kait and Lily had to throw their pillows at Amy to get her up. They then got ready for a whole day out rampaging in the (formerly) peaceful town of Hogsmeade. They went out, met up with their pals, and then set off for Hogsmeade in a fairly large clump.
When they arrived, they split up, after agreeing to meet outside the Three Broomsticks at two o'clock. That gave everyone about four hours or so to wander around aimlessly and/or explore. Lily, Kait, Siri and Airinne made a beeline for Honeydukes, where they spent a mouth-watering half-hour and where Kait bought about twenty Galleons' worth of candy. As they walked out, Lily was talking loudly with Siri and Airinne, while all three stared hungrily at Kait's bulging bag of sweets.
"OK, as soon as possible, I am checking out the exchange rates!"
"Aw, c'mon Lily. I told you I'd share with you guys." Siri and Airinne promptly devoured half the bag and, since they wanted to see some other things, and bug some more people, they left.
"It's not the same!" Lily wailed. Kait popped some Every Flavour beans into her mouth, spat some out (vomit, pepper, and earwax flavoured), and dug through her bag for something. Her hand emerged holding a small, foil- wrapped something-or-other, and held it out to Lily.
"Chocolate frog?"
"Stop it!" wailed the tormented Lily. At that precise moment (well, it was actually about fifteen minutes later, when Lily and Kait were sitting on a hill on the outskirts of town), Terry Boot walked by, and heard Lily complaining about not being able to buy any "food" (in this case candy). He stopped nearby and listened to the two girls arguing.
"Stopitstopitstopit!"
"I'm sorry."
"No, you're not! You're gloating! That is extremely evil! EVIL! Not even I do that, and I'm the 'evil demon child'!" When Kait popped another candy into her mouth and teased Lily some more, she (Lily) jumped to her feet, said, "you're so MEAN, Kait!" who yelled, "I said I'd give you one! So I'm gloating so you'll accept!" and Lily sped off. Unfortunately she didn't get very far, since she was so upset she ran right into Terry. Kait, seeing her fallen friend lying on the cold November ground, ran over, laughing slightly, but a bright red Terry (a point which Kait marked with interest) had already helped Lily to her feet and was trying to brush her off. This wasn't a smart move; she clawed him across the cheek (which was bent at her hip level, so he could brush off her pants below the knee), and he reeled up, clutching his bleeding face, with a sort of toned down "I like 'em fiery" look on his face. Lily commenced brushing herself off, with the air of a cat who was sure she could do a better job than the groomer. She, in this case, was right. Terry didn't go away. When Kait was standing by Lily, and whispering in her ear, Lily gave Terry a sardonic look, basically conveying the thought, "why the hell are you still here?". He decided he'd better come up with an excuse to explain himself with, so he started a conversation.
"Er… I heard you couldn't buy any candy - should… can - will you let -heh - me buy you some?"
Kait almost choked to death on her chocolate frog, but Lily, at the prospect of her own bag of candy, decided to ignore the evident implications of this gesture, and started running towards Honeydukes, dragging a magenta Terry behind her. Kait ran ditzily and wheezily behind them.
Back in Honeydukes, a crowd, including Harry and Co., was gathered around the owner. He was, it seemed, presenting a new candy, which was named Fairy Wool. Harry and Ginny were at close quarters at the time, in the mob before the counter, and Ginny seemed to relish being this close to "amazing Harry". Harry was smiling slightly, but not making any other sign that he noticed that the person pressed up against his chest because of the mob was none other than Ginny, nor that, from what he could see of her ears, she was blushing to extremities. Kait was trying to see what "Fairy Wool" was, and, sucking on one of her five remaining Fizzing Whizzbees, she got a better view than Lily (who wouldn't accept one anyway). However, she still couldn't see what the candy was, because Ariadne was almost at the front (Ariadne was fully six feet tall). When, ten minutes later, the surging crowd had receded, (Kait still hadn't seen the candy, she'd been in the "unusual tastes" corner, where Ron was making small talk with her. Harry and Ginny were plotting against Peeves with Siri), Kait went over to the counter to see the new candy. She bought about eight or nine bags of glittery, rainbow fluff. She had a rainbow-coloured tongue and her fingers were stained rainbow by the time she exclaimed, "It's just cotton candy! Very yummy, sparkly, brightly coloured cotton candy, but that's all it is!"
"What's cotton candy?" asked Ron. Lily was walking by with a giant, bulging bag of candy just then, and she stopped to hang out with Kait and answer Ron's question.
"Well, it's like cotton… no wait. That doesn't work. Um… Basically, it's spun sugar." Ron gave her a blank look. She sighed exasperatedly, nipped a bit of Fairy Wool from Kait, thrust it at Ron and said "Here, try it." He cautiously stuck it in his mouth, where it promptly melted. He was left with a pile of rainbow coloured sugar on his tongue. He swallowed.
"Um, Kait?"
"Yes?"
"May I have some more, please?" Lily burst out laughing and threw a bag of it at him.
