Destined to Become- Chapter 2
Secrets...
"C'mon Lil's!! We know MANY available bachelors out there that are just ready to woo you to death! You know that you can't get away from us with just a "I consider everyone friends" statement," said Lily's best friend, Arabella Figg.
Lily rolled her eyes and sighed. "Guys, you know I'm telling the truth. We've been best friends since first year!"
Kathlyn Musch expertly turned a yea right into a knowing cough. "Girl, we know it's all BS. But if you're not comfortable telling us."
"Then we'll just have to take action," said Pandora Fontaine with an evil grin.
"Okay then, fine Lily. We understand that you don't trust us enough with such valuable information. At least give us some...thing...to tell us that you have been noticing hot guys!" said Bella.
"I'm serious! There aren't any "hot" guys in this entire school! Not to mention guys that can perk up my interest with their personality OR wits," mumbled Lily. How in the world did she get involved in "girl talk?" She shuddered with such a thought. I have Potions homework to finish!!!!
"Lily, stop thinking about school for ONE teeny weeny second will you?" said Kathie.
"And Lil's, FYI, there ARE quote unquote hot guys in this school. I should know, I've dated most of them," said Pan with a wink.
Lily sighed inwardly, this was going to be a long night, she thought. Arabella, aka Bella was one of her best friends. They met each other on the boats leading to the castle and there, they started a lifelong friendship. Kathlyn, aka Kathie, didn't really know much people her first day and didn't have great people skills. But on the same fateful boat ride, Lily had stood up to try and retrieve bracelet that had been accidentally thrown off the boat. She tipped the boat and all three girls went toppling over. All the other students had already reached the other side, and they watched in horror as the three helpless girls swam for their lives. But then, Kathie being a strong swimmer had dragged both of the other two girls to shore and all the while, she had gotten Lily's bracelet too. They instantly became friends and it has lasted 'til this very moment. Pandora, aka Pan, was a well known flirt. She dated all the time, and changed boyfriends constantly. At first, she and Lily were known enemies. Pan thought that Lily was after all the guys like she was, but it was quite the opposite. Lily didn't really know the reason behind Pandora's actions, but soon got so upset with things that she too hated Pan. Things were always tense and bitter between the two and everybody knew it. They were always pulling pranks on each other and bad mouthing the other girl behind people's backs. Frankly, those people got tired of all the rubbish. Some friends devised a plan where Lily and Pan had to get out of the Forbidden Forest together so of course they had to cooperate to get out of there alive. Everything changed for them that night and they made a truce, which slowly progressed to the friendship they shared now.
The four of them worked wonderfully together, and not to mention, they were a very clever and classy group. There were brains, power, cunning, and influence in this tight knit circle and the whole school knew it. People adored them, and they looked up to them. This was some dream team. But that didn't mean that their egos were oversized, they were perfectly normal and didn't even seem to care or notice all the adoration. They helped people whenever needed and never wanted the limelight. Well, maybe Pan did...*giggle*
"Yep, Pan is our all personal guy directory. Need a guy? Ring up Pan Fontaine. Flirt with her and she'll add a free toaster to your request!" said Bella with a grin.
All four girls burst out laughing. I love these guys, each girl thought.
---------
BUT.they weren't the only group admired by the whole school. There was another "dream team." You guessed it...James Potter, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew. They were jokesters, pranksters, and brains...er, -sters. Well, most of them. Sirius was way too busy gawking at girls to really care about his studies. All he had to do was beg and plead each night to his friends and he was handed notes to each class. Sometimes, when he came up to the Common Room late, he can find the notes already waiting for him at the table.
These four boys were like brothers. Sirius and James had been friends even before they came to Hogwarts. Remus first got to know those two when he was picked on by Severus Snape and Lucius Malfoy and James had come to defend Remus. They all worked together and from there, their friendship blossomed. Peter had been an unfortunate fellow. He didn't seem to fit in anywhere, but showed great skills in chess and Quidditch oddly enough. Remus, James, and Sirius got to know Peter and they grew a liking to him. Peter proved to be a loyal and trusting friend when it came to dangerous situations. He eventually became close friends of each and every one of them.
Meanwhile in the boys' dormitory, they were having a similar discussion.
"Is it Lily, James?" asked Sirius.
James made a choking sound and looked like he was going to die. "Lily Evans? Evans??!!! Why in the world would I like an arrogant fool like her?!"
"C'mon Jamsie Poo, she is the only one you ever ramble on about. You ALWAYS seem to have a dreamy look on your face when you see her. Stop gagging, James, we know that you have a MAJOR crush on Lily Evans. Even if you don't know it!" said Remus.
"And you know what James? I'm really sick of hear you moan Lily...Lily...I need you...I love you...I want to snog the daylights out of you...Okay maybe not the last part, but seriously you need to see Madam Hotchkiss about some dreamless potions!" said Peter with a snigger.
James started to turn beet red. "I do not...I couldn't have...good lord...I HATE HER!!" said James hotly.
"If you hated her then I'm Severus Snape's brother!" said Sirius.
"I do not!" said James.
"Do too!" said Sirius.
"Do not."
"Do too."
"Do not."
"Do too."
"DO NOT."
"DO TOO."
Remus sighed. "Stop. Sirius shut up. James, buddy, you've got it bad. Now there."
-----------------
"Fine, I give up on you guys. I'll tell you guys who I think is "hot" if you each tell me who you got it for," said a grinning Lily.
"Fine, I don't care. I, for one, do not need to blackmail my friends for secrets," joked Bella.
"Neither do I, but hey, the whole school knows who I've got the hots for so no biggie," said Pan.
"Okay, if you guys are fine with it! Let the interrogation begin!" said Lily.
"You first Kathie!"
Kathie rolled her eyes. "Oh mi gosh, Lily, you are so immature!" giggled Kathie.
Lily laughed. "Well, you guys put me up to it. It's time for payback! So spit it out!"
"Well...um...I don't really have the time for guys right now so I guess I never really thought about it," said Kathie.
"Don't hold out on us, dear friend!" said Bella sweetly.
"Well...I guess Alan Wood..." said Kathie uncertainly.
"HA! I knew it! Girl, we've always noticed how you become so focused on those Quidditch games. So it was wee ol' Alan who caught our baby's attention!" said Lily.
Kathie smiled sheepishly. "Have I been that obvious?"
"You know that it's just US that notice, and even if anyone else sees you, they wouldn't suspect a thing. You are the most innocent out of all of us!" said Pan.
"Oooh, Wood! He's got a great body because of all that training and I'm sure he has a larger attention span compared to my other boyfriends," thought Pan.
"Hands off, Pannie, he's mine!" said Kathie protectively.
Everyone burst out laughing at this and Bella came up with a great idea. "Why don't we give Alan a little surprise from his secret admirer?"
Kathie's mouth closed and opened repeatedly. "You wouldn't dare, Bella!" But she couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.
"Okay, okay! That's enough torture for today! Next!" interrupted Lily.
"No no, you can't evade our questions that easily, Lil's!" said Pan.
"Tut tut, I thought you knew us better than that!" said Bella.
"Fine then, what would my dearest friends like to know?" said Lily who was trying to suppress an urge to laugh uncontrollably at the looks on her friends' faces.
"Don't make us repeat ourselves again, Lily! You know what we want to know! Not that we're pressuring you or anything," smiled Bella sweetly all the while batting her eyelashes.
Lily laughed, "Alright, alright! If you MUST know, I think Amos Diggory as some potential!"
"Diggory? NOT Potter? Whoa, surprise surprise!" said Pan.
Yea.it is a surprise thought Lily. Why did I say Diggory again? Oh yea...because that prick is beating me in Muggle Studies. That bastard...I bet James can knock some sense into him for me. Wait, what in the world? Okayyy...I just need some sleep because I didn't just think of James. Lily sighed inwardly and rolled her eyes.
"Whatcha rolling those purdy eyes at now, Lily? Thinking about how Potter made you melt recently?" said Kathie.
"No, and for your information, I was thinking about how much of a prick James really is," lied Lily.
"Liar! If that were so, then I would actually have a steady boyfriend right now," said Pan.
"Well, whatever you're thinking Lily, we know you're happy. Look at your face!" said Bella.
"And whatever you want to do, you know we'll support you. We love you!" said Kathie.
"Thanks guys, I love you guys too! C'mon, let's turn in before McGonagall turns us all into her first live guinea pigs," said Lily.
They all nodded and one by one, they trotted off to bed.
