Disclaimer: If I was J.K, why exactly would I be writing a Sirius&Lily romance on the internet when I had the power to make Sirius&Lily canon in the official books? Answer me that.
This chapter remains mostly unchanged once again, though I think the grammar and stuff may have improved. I will not talk on anymore because well frankly, I have nothing more to say (:triumphantly: See, See! Miracle DO happen!) So, even though you may have caught on to my ploy, read on to...
Okay, Whatever
A Sirius & Lily fanfiction by Hermia Rosalind
The three friends walked through the streets of Hogsmede in silence. Okay, that's a lie if there ever was one 'cos it's a known fact that James Potter can't go five minutes without saying anything stupid, boastful or otherwise.
So it was only natural that it was the boy-who-never-shuts-up that broke the eerie, thought to be extinct silence that had befallen our trio of fourth year pranksters ever since they had so dramatically exited the favourite hang out for third year Hogwart's students and above, he boldly asked the question all of their young, confused hearts were yearning to know. "What the hell was THAT?"
"No idea." Remus Lupin, ever the intellectual Ravenclaw, confessed briskly.
"What d'you mean you have no, idea?" James exclaimed in surprised disbelief, coming to halt and facing the amber eyed werewolf on an jaunty angle.
"Exactly that, I have no idea " Lupin replied carelessly over his shoulder.
"You were listening! How can you have no idea?" James demanded loudly.
"Eh." Remus shrugged, half-turning to look at Potter, who had yet to show any signs of moving.
"Well, what were you doing when I was CHOKING to death?" The messy-haired Gryffindor challenged.
"Obviously something since you're still alive." Remus quipped. James shot his friend a sarcastic look and swept past him to walk beside Sirius.
"I honestly don't know," Sirius murmured, kicking what he suspected was somebody's lost gobstone a few feet and successfully ignoring his best friends' pointless banter as if it had never happened, (something the pureblood had perfected over the years until it was nothing more than a faint buzz in the background) "She said Sillven-Ellm ordered her to keep an eye on me instead of going to the detention she gave me, said her name was Lily Evans."
"That was Lily Evans?" Remus asked in surprise, catching up with the two black haired Gryffindors.
"Yeah, do you know her?" Sirius guessed, glancing at Remus before kicking the gobstone again.
"Not personally, but every Ravenclaw knows the name Lily Evans."
"Why's that?" James interrupted; half-curiously, half-sarcastically, "Does she famously go around accusing boys of molesting her in the School Library?"
"No… actually, she famously goes around hexing unsuspecting Ravenclaws into the Hospital Wing." Remus said mildy.
There was a short, shocked silence. "Looks like you got off easy then Padfoot." James grinned, throwing an arm around his best friend in the whole, wide cosmos' shoulder. "'least you 'scaped a visit to the tyrant known as Pomphrey."
"Hexing? Unsuspecting Ravenclaws?" Sirius asked, raising an eyebrow and shoving off James' arm with a playful grin. James pouted then began to kick the gobstone about.
"That's how the story goes," Remus responded solemnly.
"But why does she-" The harsh sound of Shattered Glass interrupted Black and both friend's looked to James, who, with amazingly fast reflexes, had dodged the angry shopkeeper's containment spell and was running very quickly in the opposite direction.
"Chocolate Frogs, Chocolate Frogs, Chocolate Frogs." Peter Pettigrew chanted under his breathe, beady eyes darting around Honeydukes for his redheaded best friend's favourite treat. 'Why?' Peter had no idea.
If India said to get Lily chocolate, then Peter would do as said India said and get Lily chocolate. Lily looked like she needed chocolate, comfort…and for that Peter would give Lily her favourite sweet. Maybe she'd look more happy and less scary then.
Peter paused in his dedicated search and frowned. 'What was wrong with Lily though?' She looked angry that was for sure, but…she also seemed sad, unsure, lost.
That was the word. Lost. As if her whole word had been shaken upside down and everything was out of place, but Lily would put everything in the right place again and who knows? Things might be better-and more tidier than before.
Corey Malone was not, in the words of one Lily Evans, a very happy Ravie. For some reason Sirius wouldn't go out with her anymore, because she was too clingy and paranoid and because she'd threatened that first year Hufflepuff that had sent him a Valentine's day card. Sirius didn't have to react so negatively! That bitch was trying to steal her boyfriend, and Sirius was still her boyfriend. Sure, he thought he had broken up with her, but she wasn't going to give in that easily.
First the fifth year Ravenclaw would get rid off any competition. Rumours were that her boyfriend wanted that frigid bitch Johnson as his girlfriend and since it was a known fact that Johnson only even bothered with boys because she wanted to get up the duff, it would be easy enough to just threaten her ability to have children and she'd back off.
"Hey Cor, did you hear about Sirius and Lily Evans?" Dawn deLauro said as a way of greeting, poking her head out of the illusion of the antique mirror that hid the Ravenclaw common room to speak to her best friend.
"What about Sirius and that Hufflepuff bitch?" Corey almost snarled in her surprise.
Dawn blinked her doe brown eyes in surprise at her best friend's vicious outburst, then a understanding grin spread across her slender, olive face. "Your still sore about that time she cursed you with bat wings?"
"And talons," Corey remembered darkly, "I couldn't hold a quill right for days."
Dawn laughed and Corey almost snapped at her. Then Corey saw Dawn's eyes sparkling joyfully at the memory and she softened. Dawn wasn't being mean, she was just being...Dawn.
Corey rolled her eyes fondly. "So what's up with Sirius and Lily." Corey stressed the green eyed girl's name and Dawn smiled.
"Dove told me-"
"Dove? Dove Holly?" Corey interrupted in disgust.
"Yes, Dove, Holly." Dawn confirmed, chocolate eyes twinkling, the mirror rippling as she stepped fully into the corridor.
"I still can't believe your friend's with a Slytherin." Corey spat, nose wrinkling in revulsion.
"Slytherin or not, Dove's my friend," Dawn defended, "And she's never steered me wrong yet." The brunette finished, crossing her arms determinedly over her narrow frame.
Corey sighed resignedly. "Okay, what did she say?"
Dawn smiled and brushed a long slice of normally well behaved hair out of her eye, "That Sirius kissed Evans."
Corey stiffened, "What?" she said stonily.
"Yeah I know, it's weird." Dawn accessed, tilting her head to the side, "I didn't think Sirius liked her like that. Oh well," the slender Ravenclaw shrugged, "I wish them all the best."
"Yeah," Corey replied coldly, "All the best."
Thanks for the pretty 'views to this chapter and the ones before. I've got a chunk of the next chapter and I should be finished soon, hopefully it should be up some time this week as it's half term and I have the rest of the week of school to write, edit & go all through the process. I've been trying to avoid looking at the previous 'update' date as it's painful to look at. I'm truly sorry about my-I'm guessing something like a year-hiatus and hope that my reviewers are loyal, faithful people who don't bare grudges. I'm getting evil looks from my family (even the bloody dog) because I've been on the PC all day so I'll sign off now and get to work tomorrow.
Luv ya,
Kyla.
