Chapter Two.
Dawn arrived, bringing sunshine and cloudless sky; it's going to be a good day today. The boys; Remus, Sirius, James and Peter are awake, and are all just had their showers. It was a day after their backfiring prank; the 1st of September, the day they go back to Hogwarts. They were all very tired, their mom had planned a BIG day for them yesterday, because of all that ketchup soaked in her carpet; they had to wash the dishes, clean the kitchen, and do the garden. It may sound easy, but you haven't seen how big James' garden or his kitchen was, have you? If you have, you'd really understand.
"Damn those girls, smart move, but damn them" Sirius said, while shaking his head, while massaging his shoulder from yesterday's hard work.
"I agree, but do they really think they can get away with that?" James answered; "I don't think so" He spoke matter-of-factly.
"Yeah, speak all you want James, but I'm going to get thinking and doing some action real fast." Peter said, stabbing a fork into his omelette.
"Yes, and we're going to do it soon too." Remus reminded, his eyes darting around the room.
All of them nodded glumly and went back to eating their breakfast. They need a LOT of energy for this day; for they had a long journey to Hogwarts, and they also had to think of their next prank- for the girls (if they can get that far ~wink~)
---
The girls had a very good sleep. Their dreams were full of the Marauders soaking in ketchup, thrown in dustbins and made to clean the toilets. Ha! You bet they had a good sleep. The girls were now wide-awake and dressed; ready to eat their breakfast.
"Hey mum!" Lily greeted, her face decorated with delight and happiness.
"Good morning sweetie, you must've had a very good sleep!" Her mum replied with a smile; her eyes twinkling the same way as Lily's, greeting her two best friends.
The girls caught each other's eyes and suddenly burst out laughing.
"Yes, you did." Her mom reacted as she signalled for the girls to sit down and eat.
Lily's mom had very similar features with Lily herself. She was also beautiful; Lily gained a lot from her, including her talent in singing. Katherine Evans had bright, brave eyes that gleamed whenever she smiled. She had the hair of a beautiful brown and red. Her complexion was pale, yet it defined her kind characteristic and personality. 'She is a very humorous lady, delightful,' as what people like to describe her as. She always had a joke to share, or a smile or two to give. Despite the beauty, Lily loved her mother very much, like most daughters. But this was obvious, for her mom was a gentle woman with a heart made of great love. Yep, love and support was all it took to keep Lily going and she was very thankful for that.
"I'll miss you so much when you're away ." Mrs. Evans spoke up, her gleaming eyes curtained in sorrow.
"So will I Mom, but I'll see you over the holidays. I promise" Lily winked, and gave a quick assuring smile.
The girls quickly finished their breakfast; and made their way to the Evan's old BMW car. The car was odd, because its coat of steel was painted in colours of all shades of black - if there was any. The wheels seemed almost square, and the windows were, er.glassless? As much of weirdness the car described itself as, the Evans had a silent passion for it; adoring it and with that, would not sell it away. As they seated themselves inside, - of course, after they argued who will get to sit next to the glassless window- Lily and co. started singing to one of their favourite songs; the Itsy-Bitsy-Spider! No? Okay, that was a pathetic joke, they sang to the M2M; Don't say you love me. Well, both sound nearly the same.
Lily, Ally, and Lorelei talked, joked, gossiped- and of course, the subject of boys came up eventually, actually every minute or so- all through their drive through to King's Cross St; as predicted.
---
The sun came to a bright glow drawing the day closer to noon, the Potters, with Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew, finally arrived at King's Cross St. They took their trunks and owl carriages out of the car, and headed their way towards platform 9 and ¾. Peter had a lot of trouble dragging his trunk; even though he was big, he wasn't that strong, unlike the other three, idolized boys. But nonetheless, they were still shining that bright, attractive smiles of theirs- but anyone who've seen them before; that smile meant something different. In this case, they were ready for action.
"Watch out girls, here we come!" Sirius exclaimed silently.
The Potters bid their goodbyes to James, not missing out the hugs and kisses; and unfortunately for James' friends, they got some hugs and kisses from the Potters as well.
To continue with their lives they passed through the gate between the 9 and 10 platforms, and as a second of pure blackness left them, they were introduced to a whole new world.
"I keep forgetting how this place looks like!" Peter exclaimed, looking somewhat amused at the train of Hogwarts Express.
"Yep, I know what you mean, but we better stop talking like some old goblin going through his nostalgia times and get in the train soon." James replied.
"Uhuh," Sirius nodded; and with the smallest sign of mischief, he continued, "We have lessons to teach."
With that, the four, 6th year boys excited their way into the train like some mad dogs sensing their prey, to search for an empty cart.
----
By the time the boys were in the train, the girls were still trying to hide their way into the train and to the carts, trying as hard as they can to get to an empty cart before anyone of the Marauders can get a glimpse of them. Now that's hard, especially if you're trying to do it with a huge trunk dragged right behind you and an owl with it's cage tagging along while screeching as loud as its little, owly lungs allows it to. The girls were getting it hard, and their "spy" ability wasn't getting any better either.
"Damn it! This is not good," Ally voiced while panting, and she continued, "Did you see their smiles? Something is definitely up, and I fully believe that that something has got something to do with us."
"I told you we shouldn't have done that, James would hate me now."Lily trailed off.
"Lily, you didn't tell us anything to be against our prank and we should've been here before, well too late. We better be careful now, the next cart is theirs. We better pass it quick and quiet, ok?" Lorelei advised. Swiftly they glided across the hall, and made a way to pass the cart, but they were just too slow.
As if on cue, the door of the cart opened and no other than James' messy haired head pooped out,
"Hiya girls, wassup? Do you care to join us? - Of course you do!" James wasn't really asking; the girls knew this and were predictably dragged into the Marauders' cart. To them, entering this cart was like entering hell, and they were right.
The Marauders, seeing their looks of horror spread out all across their pretty faces, and after a whole minute of a torturing silence for the girls, they started, confidently to speak,
"My, girls, don't you look ravishing!" Sirius complimented, with the sticky touch of sweetness in his voice.
"Oh, so do you! I mean that make-up you're wearing right now just suits you so much!" Lily replied coolly, though butterflies were forming in her stomach.
Sirius and James, with the help of the glares from Peter and Remus were about to begin an insult, but just at that moment the door opened. You would've thought it was a "saved by the opening-of-the-door" sort of thing, but not if you were Lily.
Jessica stepped in, and as soon as her shiny, expensive Gucci shoes touched the floor, you know she just made it hers. She gave a smile to everyone else, an extra grin to James and a death-glare to Lily.
Jessica Morton was really a nice girl. She was an admired Ravenclaw; she was nice to practically everyone, gained a lot of friends and was not bad at all in most of her classes. Jessica was one of those 'perfect' people you see; she had a sandy-blond hair that she liked to let go, to let it 'breath' she usually says. She had a very eye-catching pair of eyes; bright, piercing blue that danced whenever she talks, allowing anyone drawn into it. She had a gift in Divination; their teacher said she was a true seer and no one complained- but sometimes, the way she just walks up to people and predict their future was a bit scary. But still, Jessica Morton was a nice teenage witch, that seemed fine to everyone, but too bad for Lily and her friends; they and Jessica had gone off at the wrong foot since they first met, - Lorelei, with the help of her friends, accidentally turned Jessica's hair green and sprouting stinky slime from her head when she interrupted the girl's prank to alter the Marauder's hair- eliminating all friendliness surrounding them when 'together'.
"What was that about?" Lily muttered to herself, feeling herself slightly more calmed after the given death-glare. She glanced up at James and saw her crush, snog another girl, her rage just well, raged. Her heart seemed to shrink as if ready to be ripped apart. She felt hot blood rushing to her cheeks, flushing it into a colour of deep red. She looked away towards the window and shut her eyes,
"I am not going to burst, I am not going to cry, I am not." She demanded to herself as she tried to swallow that lump in her throat.
Her best friends, as if knowing the drill, took a glance at her and turned themselves at James and his Jessica, "Can you please continue this somewhere else?" Ally snapped at James, causing Jessica to retreat from her current snogging position,
"Excuse me, I thought that this was none of your business" Jessica answered coldly with her piercing voice.
"Well you thought wrong." Lorelei snapped back.
James and the rest of the boys, sensing the coldness that was starting to uncover quickly tried to change the subject,
"Hey, err, we're almost there."Peter spoke, knowing how lame that sounded
"Oh yeah, I think I better go and change into my robes now." Jessica reacted.
James surprised that Peter's lame excuse succeeded, just smiled and let himself be kissed by his Jessica. Once again he felt his eyes following her, and stopped as the now closed door blocked her figure.
While he daydreamed about his girlfriend through all the chatter of Quidditch and the girls' hairdo talk made by his friends, his mind started to wonder, "Why has Lily seemed so sentimental when Jessica came into the cart?" He could feel her sorrowful eyes boring onto him while Jessica was seated on his lap.
Why?
James quickly shrugged away the thought that had been swirling in his mind for over a minute and leaned over; ears closer towards his friends and joined their deep Quidditch conversation- completely ignoring their uncompleted prank, and the 3 anxious-looking girls.
