The Famous Marauders
Chapter eleven: Stupid Cupid part 2
Lily decided on two books entitled Magical Creatures of Love by: Tina Srik, and The Legionary Cupid by: Walter Homes. She explored the books cover to cover as she sat in the common room that night.
It was around 10:30p.m. When Lily finished her History of Magic homework. Rereading the last paragraph:
~Cupid looked down upon the earth, as the month changed from January to February, within a few seconds. Noting that every month seemed the same, people fighting, working, and letting the love slip them by. It was now the month of February, the month dedicated to love and romance and yet the people have not noticed in the slightest. Cupid shuck his head in disgust as he remembered what people used to be like in February. He made a final decision at that moment, people needed help when it came to love, it seemed like there was no other choice to be made. Pointing his finger Cupid created small creatures that could only exist in the month of February. He called them Stupid Cupids; they were smart and playful creatures full of love and light. Their solemn prepuce was to help people fall in love. For example when they saw a lonely girl walking threw the park crying her eyes out, Stupid Cupid would turn invisible and look in side her heart, find out what happened to her. They believe the only way to mend a broken heart was to fill it with love. Stupid Cupids are not rare to find, but almost impossible to catch. ~
Lily closed her History of Magic book and leaned back on chair. Letting everything she read sink in. She thought about it for a few minutes before deciding that it could not possibly happen to her, she was not in dire need of help.
"Can I join you?" Someone said interrupting her thoughts
"Hey Sirius, what are you doing up" Lily said looking at Sirius with a small smile
"James is snoring, so loud I can't get a wink of sleep" Sirius said in a joking kind of way
"So, he is not worried at all about the Stupid Cupids coming in a hour and a half." She had a hit of disappointment in her voice
"I guess not, there really is nothing to really worry about is there"
"I suppose not but I have been reading about them and I don't want to be followed everywhere with something medalling in my love life, I heard that you can even walk right threw them and yet if they touch you by choice, you can actually feel it."
"Yeah that would stink, but what can they do, really"
"I guess were going to find out, but if one dose follow me and pushes me to get me with James" She trailed off
"Oh now I get it your worried something is going to happen to Prongs" Sirius said matter-of-factly
"Why do you guys have toughs silly nicknames for each other?" Lily asked
"Long story" Sirius answered because he was not sure about how Lily would feel about the marauders being animagi. He paused before changing the subject
"Get some sleep Lils, do not worry about it so much, what's going to happen is going to happen. There are tons of kids in the school, I don't think there going to pick you or me. But I also believe every thing happens for a reason and if you, like I believe that James and you are supposed to be together, you guys will make it threw this. Do not, I repeat, do not give up on him because he is not here. James and I both know that you two can do this and will still love each other in the end."
"That was beautiful, Sirius, I can see why James thinks of you as his best mate" Lily said taking what Sirius said to heart
"Don't let it get around," Sirius said suddenly smirking giving her a wink
"I guess, I'm kind of scarred about it still, but thanks and I am so tired, see you in the morning" Lily gave Sirius a hug before going up to bed.
She could not help but watch the clock until it turned from 11:59 to 12:00. Pulling her blanked a little higher, Lily curled up and hoped beyond hope that nothing was going to follow her anywhere. She could not help, but wonder why James was so calm about this entire thing happening, even though she remembered what Sirius said.
As the hour wore on Lily could not keep her eyes open and started drifting steadily off to a deep slumber.
~7:00a.m~
Kristy Carlson sat down next to Lily and woke her up almost instantly
"what" Lily said pulling the cover over her head?
"Come on James has been waiting like a half an hour for you" Kristy said a little annoyed
"JAMES" Lily squealed sitting up suddenly
"Yeah" Kristy said smirking
Lily jumped up off her bed, only to fall on the ground from being rapped so deep in her blanket. She got up while shaking the blanked off of her. Then ran to the door looked James in the face before remembering she was still in her pajamas. Quickly she turned around and shut the door, turning bright red.
"I tried to tell you" Kristy said shaking her head, after Lily shut the door.
"Help" Lily mouthed getting dressed quickly
"I think I'll go talk to him while you change" Kristy said still shaking her head as she made her way to the door
"Lily is changing, one second" Kristy said smiling at James
"Yeah, thanks Kristy" James answered
"Sure, no problem"
Lily pulled the door further open
"Have you seen Remus?" Kristy asked trying to make an escape
"Common room" James said not taking his eyes off of Lily
Kristy walked off into the common room seeing Remus sitting on a chair watching Sirius and Peter playing wizards chess.
Her breathing was steady as she walked toward them,
"Hey Kristy" Sirius yelled before she even finished walking down the stairs
Remus turned when he heard her name
"Come join us" Remus said not even realizing what he said
Kristy smiled sweetly when suddenly something pushed her, making her start to fall down the steps
Remus ran catching her in his arms, as she started to fall,
"are you ok?" Remus said concerned breathing heavily
"Yeah, I guess, it felt like something pushed me, I know it sounds stupid' Kristy said blushing
"I don't remember saying that" Remus said still holding her
"I think she's ok now" Peter yelled across the room
Not only Sirius smacked him across the head, but also Peter felt a light kick coming from behind
Remus and Kristy both turned red, as Remus helped her off her feet.
"Do you, I mean would you, like to go get some breakfast, with me?" Remus asked her looking hopeful
The kicking stopped suddenly as Remus walked with Kristy toward the door.
Something pulled there hands together, as the exited the common room
~Back Upstairs~
"what was that!" Lily said hearing the thump from when Kristy fell
James and Lily ran to the staircase and saw Kristy fall into Remus.
"I think she's ok now" Lily said smiling
"you think" James answered smirking
"you know what I also think" Lily spoke softly looked at James
"What?" James said looking at her
"I think they have there own Stupid Cupid" Lily said feeling something pull both their hands together.
"I think your right" James said looking at her, seeing her for the sweet, smart, perfect person on the inside, not just the pretty face that everyone sees on the outside
"What are you staring at" Lily said looking at James
"I just want to remember how incredibly beautiful you are, both on the inside and out, its making me wonder how I could be so lucky to be here talking to you" James answered her sincerely
Lily eyes moved back in forth as he spoke, repeating every word he said. Taking a deep breath she spoke
"you hungry?"
"Yeah sure lets go" James spoke completely surprised
Peter and Sirius were both gone to breakfast by the time Lily and James left the common room. Neither of them spoke for a while, enjoying each other's company. James was still holding her hand as the entered the great hall. There was a roar of laughter from three houses the tables, but the Slytherins were gazing in amazement.
"Look" James pointed with his free hand at Lucius Malfoy, whose hand was stuck together with Sirius cousin Narcissa Black.
"Lucius Malfoy, get off of me" Narcissa screamed
"You get off me," Lucius screamed back
"I am trying"
"So am I"
"You know you like me"
"Do not"
"Do to"
"Do not"
"Do to"
They continued to yell back and forth as Lily and James made there way to Gryffindor table, taking seats with the marauders and Kristy.
"Who did this" Lily asked
"Stupid Cupid" Kristy answered
"If there is a stupid cupid around, you are the best!" Sirius sang out into the air smiling
On knowingly making a female stupid cupid blush, taking herself out of her invisible form
Lils eyes got big as they turned to face, a beautiful girl that appeared out of thin air, with long brown hair and chestnut eyes.
"That was very sweet of you," she said
"you don't look like Cupid" Peter said matter-of-factly remembering Hagrid speech
"I know that, it is called a rumor" the girl spoke quietly
She turned back to Sirius
"No ones ever thanked us before, you can call me Kathy, and she's my project."
Kathy pointed at Lily
"If you do not mind me saying, your one of the easier couples, not hard to help, like those two, drove Zack mad." Kathy rolled her eyes at Lucius and Narcissa.
Lily looked at her in amazement.
"Not to worry I am very qualified, I have been doing it for a while"
"I thought you guys could not show yourselves," Lily answered
"it's optional" Kathy answered suddenly turning invisible
Lily reached out to the spot she was all she could feel was air.
"What were you saying last night Sirius?" Lily said smirking at him
"you were with Lily last night"~ James blurted out spitting out his milk
"Not like you think James"
Lily spoke out, seeing James face flushed with anger
"And what do you think I think" James snapped
"James Potter how can you be so jealous, I am not even your girl friend, nor will I ever be if you keep acting the way you are, you can not even trust your best friend, worse you will not even trust me. I could go kiss Snape if I wanted to and it wouldn't be any of your business!" Lily snapped back at him
"Well maybe you should" James spoke without thinking
"Maybe I will"
"Fine"
"Fine"
"Fine"
"Fine"
"Fine"
"Fine"
"Snivelits come here"
Snape walked over ready to curse James.
"I can not believe you James or should I go back to calling you Potter"
Lily got up and stormed out of the great hall
