Chapter 5
After two days, Lily was better, which made James very happy. He had stayed by her bed the whole time. Once in a while, Colette, Sirius, Remus, and Rose stopped by. They chattered on about their days, asked Lily how she was, then left. But now, she was free to leave.
"Are you ready, Lily-Flower?" James asked, prancing around and gathering her things. "Colette, Sirius, Rose, and Remus are gonna meet us in the common room soon."
"Where are they now?" Lily asked.
"Well, last time I checked, Rose and Remus were in the common room talking, and...uh, well, I'm not quite sure what Sirius and Colette were gonna do. They were wearing leather gloves and had something with them. I dunno." James shrugged. So did Lily.
"Well, I'm sure we'll find out soon....."
"Ouch! Watch where you're going, Sirius!"
"I'm trying, but it is kinda dark in here, Colette!"
"Are you sure this is the right way?"
"Um....yes! Trust me! I know everything there is to know about this place!"
"But we're first years."
"......so? Oh, come on! Here's the vent! I'll jump down first, then catch you, alright?"
"Don't drop me...."
"Alright! Here we go!!!" Sirius jumped out of the vent and landed cat-like in the middle of a dark room. "Come on, Colette! I'll catch you!"
Biting her lip, Colette shrugged and slid easily out of the vent. She landed gently in Sirius's arms.
"Told ya I'd catch you!" Sirius gloated. Colette glowered at him and lept lightly out of his arms.
"Okay, I have this map....you drew....IF you're right, we should be inside the Slytherin boys' bathroom.." Colette grinned, "but that's considering you're right!"
"Hey, hey, hey, Padfoot Black is ALWAYS right!" Sirius said, hitting himself on the chest. "Don't worry. I've got it all under control! All we have to do is find the light switch...."
They walked around feeling the walls. Finally, Colette found it in the darkest corner.
"Well, whaddya know, you were right, Padfoot."
"I always am, my little Phoenix." they smirked at eachother, and set to work.
"Okay, where's the shampoo?" Colette murmured. "And did you already put the itching powder in....?"
"Sure did! Boy, he'll be surprised! And he'll have some niiiiiice hair, perfect for the Halloween Dance!"
After a long while of sneaking around in the Slytherin bathroom, Sirius and Colette's work was finished. After giving Colette a boost, she helped Sirius climb back into the vent.
"Ouch! You kicked me, Si!"
"Oooh, sorry, Colette. These vents are so small these days.."
"Whaddya mean, these days?"
"Oh, nothing...."
"Argh!!"
"Oooh, tomorrow's the Halloween Dance! I can't wait!" Lily gushed. "How about you, Rose?"
"I'm sure it'll be great! We have those awesome robes Mom bought for us." Rose returned happily. "It'll be so fun!"
"I hate to interrupt happy hour, but I wonder where Sirius and Colette are?" Remus said. "They should've been here fifteen minutes ago..."
"Maybe they forgot?" James suggested.
"Forget!?" a voice called cheerfully. "How could we forget to come and see Lily!?" It was Colette. She and Sirius were standing in the doorway to Gryffindor Tower, huge grins on their faces, leather gloves still on their hands.
"Why are you guys wearing gloves?" Rose asked.
"So we don't leave fingerprints, of course!" Sirius said.
"But enough about us, how are you, Lily?" Colette said, closing the other subject. "We've missed you."
"I'm glad you were worried," Lily smiled, "but I'm much better now. And....I can't wait for the dance tomorrow!!!"
Colette pressed her hands to her mouth. "OH! The dance! I totally forgot!"
Sirius elbowed her and whispered, "Don't over-do it!"
Colette grinned at him, then slyly turned to Lily and Rose. "So, who are you guys going with?"
"James."
"Remus."
Colette kept grinning. "Gee, that's nice. I'm not going with anyone, yet. I think I'll just have to go search for some nice, cute, funny, black-haired guy who loves playing pranks and see if he'll ask me...."
Sirius's eyes widened. "OH! Yeah, I knew there was something I had to ask you, Colette!" he cleared his throat. "Will you go to the dance with me?"
"Of course, Padfoot."
Rose jumped up. "YIPPIE! Everyone has a date! We're gonna have sooooo much fun!" she hopped around, singing, "Conga, conga, conga! Come on, people, conga! Hurry up and conga! Please don't make me slap you!" she yelled to a beat.
Everyone grinned and joined her, also yelling the conga song...until the prefects told them to go to bed.
So, grinning sheepishly, they said good-night and left.
