~Ok story time!
~Sahara*s POV:
Under the covers: that*s where I wanted to be on cool September mornings. All toasty and warm burrowed beneath a mound of blankets. There I could sit and think and dream, but unfortunately whoever came up with the school system decided that when it*s cold out kids have to go to classes and classes mean getting up at 6:30! What was it that they were thinking when they decided on a schedule ? I bet the people who came up with the schedule don*t even get up *til noon. Because of those sleeping gits, Lily, Elizabeth and I were late.
**Where is my Charms book?** Elizabeth cried, her voice a bit muffled because of the fact that she was bent over her trunk.
**Did you look under your pillow?** I called from the a joined bathroom where I was making an attempt at charming my hair dry, hexing my toothbrush to brush my teeth, and trying to put my robes on.
**What? Why would it be in there?**
**You were reading it last night before bed,** Lily said, pulling on a set of black Hogwarts robes.
**Oh, I found it!** Elizabeth ran into the bathroom. **Now just for a bit of lip gloss!** Elizabeth grabbed a pot of grape lip slick off the marble counter.
**Everyone ready?** Lily said, walking into the bathroom, her hair in bouncy curls for the first day of school and had some clear mascara and pink lip gloss on.
**I am!** Elizabeth cried, looking prepared for the day with the lip slick and a hint of shimmer on her cheeks, her hair was pulled into a high ponytail.
I looked at myself one more time in the mirror, taking in my straight hair that was grazing my shoulder blades and my clear lip gloss and white eyeliner. Turning to the other two, I said, **Lets go!**
The three of us walked out of the bathroom picked up are brown leather rucksacks (backpacks), then opened the door of our dorm and walked down the spiral stair case.
**Take a little longer, why don*t ya!** Sirius sighed when we appeared.
**Well we could always go back upstairs and redo out hair...** I replied.
**Uh! No thanks!** Sirius said, making me laugh.
**Come on lets go get something to eat, I am starving!** James said, his stomach rumbling to prove the point.
The six of us walked out of the portrait hole, Sirius and I leading, our arms around our shoulders acting all silly as we walked swaying and moving to a song no one could hear, followed by Elizabeth and Remus holding hands and talking about the next prefect meeting. And of course Lily and James brought up the rear, James talking to Lily who had crossed her arms and was humming loudly, most likely trying to drown out the sound of James voice.
I couldn*t hear what James was saying but as we walked down the stairs I imagined:
**Oh, Lily speak to me!** James would say all melodramatic.
In response Lily would start humming **The Anthem** by Good Charolette.
**But Lily I love you!**
Lily would change to Savage Garden*s **Break Me, Shake Me**.
**Plea-**
Thump! I was pulled back to reality. Sirius and I turned around. James was on the floor, on his back and Lily was standing next to him.
**What the heck did you do, Evans?!** James cried.
**I had to do something to shut you up, it was only a simple Shoe-Untying Hex,** Lily said innocently.
**Hey, James, can I say told you so right now?** Remus asked laughing.
**Moony, either shut up or help me up!** James said.
Remus walked over and grabbed James under the arms, pulling him up to a stand.
**I think you kinda deserved that, James! What were you saying anyway?** Elizabeth asked.
**Were you confessing your love to Lily?** I said with a grin.
**WHAT? You have a sick mind!** Lily cried.
**He was asking whether or not I wanted to go Astronomy Tower later and snog,** Lily said matter- of- factly.
**My goodness!** Elizabeth shrieked, walking over to James. She smacked him on the side of the head. **You shouldn*t even try, James!**
**I think women are out to get me,** James grumbled.
Lily, Elizabeth and I all whapped James on the head this time.
**Owwww!**
*Sirius*s POV:
**Hand me the comics, please, Liz,** I asked, holding out my hand at the Gryffindor table.
**Why is it that I buy the subscription to the Prophet and suddenly everyone wants to read it?!** Elizabeth rolled her eyes, but still forked over the page.
**Well so-rry!** I arrogantly.
**I am surprised at you three, you haven*t played any pranks yet, not even on Snivellus! Elizabeth said surprised.
**Excuse me, Snivellus?** Lily said perplexed.
**The slimy git over there,** I said, pointing at Severus.
**The one with the abnormally large nose? He actually wouldn*t look that bad next to James,** Lily thoughtfully.
**Him? Me? I look so much better!** James said, once again not failing to sound like a self centered prat.
**Uh, Lily is that your owl?** Sahara asked, pointing to the tawny owl who was dipping it*s beak in her glass of pumpkin juice.
**Oh, that*s Harry,** Lily said untying the parchment. Lily opened it up and started to read it to herself. As her eyes darted across the page they filled. A single tear escaped and soon led to a stream.
**Lily, what is it?** I asked, wondering what was up with our new friend.
I never got a reply. Lily simply ripped up the page and ran out of the hall. Everyone stared as James chased after her. When James was out of view, the hall turned to look at Elizabeth, Sahara, Remus, and I. **What? You want a show? We*ll give you a show. Help me Moony.**
I jumped up and said a music charm, soon the hall was filled with the sound of the Beatles.
I stepped up on the house table, pulling Sahara with me. She played along when I started to do the Monkey. Remus jumped onto the table and proceeded to use the levitating charm to get a much protesting Elizabeth on the table. **Tarantallegra!** Remus said with a flick of his wand, casting the Dancing Charm on his girlfriend. Pretty soon Elizabeth was yelling and dancing next to me and Sahara.
The Slytherins roared with laughter. **Oh, you like this do you? Does this look like fun?** Sahara yelled, still dancing. Pretty soon, between her and I, we had cast the Dancing Charm on every single Slytherin.
Dumbledore then jumped on the table and started to shake his groove thing.
**Are you going to allow this to happen?!** McGonagall yelled over the music.
**Oh, come on! The children need a bit of fun!** Dumbledore yelled back.
Pretty soon the whole thing had turned into quite a party, everyone now dancing including Professor McGonagall. It seemed as if our distraction had worked, everyone had forgot about Lily.
*James*s POV:
I ran down the corridors of the school trying to find Lily. **Lily, Lily, Lily!** I called, sprinting down the west wing of the 4th floor. I saw a silvery figure pass through the wall then head down the hall.
**Nick! Nick, stop!** I said as I raced to his side.
**What, is it, James?** he asked.
**Have you seen Lily Evans?**
**The new girl? She was headed to the Room of Requirement when I ran into her. She looked upset..** He finished, but I was already rushing down the corridor, again.
When I got to the seventh floor I rushed down. *Left, right, right again, straight past that statue,* I thought to myself, remembering the time I had stumbled across the room is second year, helped me and Snuffles quite a bit the time we tried to make the Slytherins fly. Filch never knew...
**Here we go,** I said at the door. Lily obviously had to be there because I could see the door, and that only happens when it is occupied.
I turned the knob and opened the door. I found myself in tissue up to my waist, *Well that figures!* I waded in a bit, looking around, but I couldn*t see Lily anywhere. Suddenly I heard a tiny, microscopically quiet noise. I moved a bit closer to the center of the room and stopped. There I heard the noise again. I kept following it until something big hit my leg.
**Owww!** I tumbled into the tissue in front of me.
I heard a groan, **Not you!**
**Lily!** I exclaimed.
Lily sat up from underneath a pile of tissue. Her eyes were red and puffy and her nose was running.
**Why bid you follow me, Jabes! I want to be awone!**
**Need a hankie? You sound a bit stuffy,** I picked up a tissue and handed it to her.
Lily blew her nose then dried her eyes a bit.
**Now, what*s wrongs Lils? What was in that letter?**
**Number one, nothings wrong. Why is it that whenever a girl starts crying it becomes a federal case? Number two, do NOT call me Lils. And number three, mind your own business!**
**Sorry I asked.** I turned to leave.
**Wait, don*t go!**
**Oh, so now you want me to stay!**
**You still need to give me the tour,** Lily said with a grin.
**Come on then!** I said. Lily stood up and we left for Charms.
