The Famous Marauders
Chapter fourteen: Charms class and talks by the lake
Kathy started to bite her nails as she made her way to the 6th year girl's dorm room. She started to pace back and forth threw out the room, as if lost for words.
"Just spit it out" Kristy said irritated
"I don't know how to say it" Kathy said in the same irritated tone
"Do you think James and I will ever stop fighting" Lily spoke as if she was in another world, while twisting a lock of hair in her hand.
"I think your going to have to work at it this time" Kathy answered
"Lets have a solon day, this last few days have been tough" Kristy said as she fell back on to her bed.
"How's that going to help" Lily said letting go of the lock
"James is stupid, and you know he'll just fall harder for you when you look like a star. And besides all of us have been overly worked and crabby lately" Kristy said still lying on her bed
"It could give us time to think of a plan" Kathy said although she had already worked out the whole thing
"Fine, but lets do it Friday, they gave us the day of classes" Lily said
"Classes, were going to be late" Kristy said jumping up off her bed and started gathering several books
"Oh my gosh" Lily started as she to gathered her book
"Its ok we can make it on time" Lily finished
"Only barely see you Kathy" Kristy said as she and Lily ran out of the room
Once they had left Kathy spoke
"That's ok girls all part of the plan" She snapped her fingers turning herself invisible, and started to walk down to the Charms room
When Lily and Kristy entered there were only two available seats, the first one that Remus had saved for Kristy and the other was next to James.
Lily was on a ware of what happened in the common room after Kathy had left.
~Earlier that day~
"Girls are so weird" Peter said as Kathy vanished
"But that one is really cute" Sirius said staring at the spot Kathy had last been spotted
"Ok, Remus what's the first thing, Kathy's list say"
Remus pulled out the piece of parchment Kathy wrote on
The Rules Don't do anything stupid!!!!
"Hold it who said I would do something stupid" James said insistently
The other marauders just looked at him, before Remus continued
No pranks until after Valentines day
Now on with the plan
Try to be honest with her and take it slow, you know like a simple hi, what's up? How are you? No more love stuff for a while it scares her Fact: James is going to brake one of my rules before you enter the charms class room When you enter the Charms classroom I want Sirius sit with Peter, Remus I'm sure you want to sit with your girl friend. So that leaves one seat open next to James. Don't worry about Lily sitting with some one else, I had to poll a lot of strings but I have connections and if everything goes as planned she wont have that much of a choice. Just incase I'll hold her off as long as possible. James I repeat once she's sitting next to you don't mess it up. Don't say anything about you loving her unless she asks, which she wont, that's taking it to quickly. I really don't care if you crake a joke or whatever. If you want to drive her completely crazy encore her, she'll go nuts, but don't be rude answer her questions
Remus stopped reading there and looked up at the other marauders,
"Lets go to Charms" he said as they picked up there books and followed
him
~BACK TO THE PRESENT TIME~
Lily silently took the seat next to James.
"Hey" James said casually looking up for only a moment, trying to keep
his cool
"Do you mind if I sit here" Lily said dully, knowing the answer
"If you want to" James said looking up again before looking down at the
blank piece of parchment, thinking do I mind? You really have to ask.
"What" Lily said surprised, in barely a whisper that cared over to James. She wore a mix expression of shock and curiosity on her face. Silently she sat down letting her eyes linger on James for a second to long.
James was smiling on the inside, when he noticed Lily watching him before she hastily looked away.
The teacher, Professor Milan entered, and started to babble on about
something.
Every word he said went in one ear and out the other in James case. A
smile never left his face, as he knew Lily was going crazy.
Lily's mind was indeed wondering, she had not even noticed that Professor
Milan started talking. I wonder what he's thinking, is he staring at me?
Why didn't he say something else when I sat down? Maybe he's losing
interest, why isn't he sitting next to Sirius? Am I going crazy?
Question after question repeated themselves in Lily's head
At exactly the same moment Lily and James faced each other. Lily blushed and smiled before she quickly turned away. James was enjoying this way to much as he finally turned his attention to Professor Milan. Lily was feeling a little insecure, as she to look up at the Professor although she still hadn't heard a word he said all hour.
Sirius grinned then high fived Peter after witnessing what happened with Lily and James. The bell rang.
"What was the homework" Lily asked James, coming back to earth
"Don't know" James answered as the other marauders and Kristy joined them
Luckily Remus and Kristy had been paying attention to Professor Milan, Remus informed the others what the homework was.
In the back of the room Kathy watched not only Lily and James, but she found herself looking at Sirius. A tier fell from her eye as she watched Sirius. What am I going to do? What can I do? She came to the conclusion that whatever she did, she would need help. Kathy (still invisible) followed the others on there way back to the common room.
"I wonder where Kathy is" Kristy said looking around
"Do you think she's still in our room" Lily asked
"Don't think so, she probably got board and wondered around the castle or something"
"When you find her tell her I have to talk to her" Sirius said
"About what" James asked
"Stuff" was all Sirius answered surging his shoulders
"What kind of stuff" Kathy said reappearing behind Sirius
"How long have you been standing there" Lily said brightly at Kathy
"Not long, so what do you want to talk about" Kathy said looking back at Sirius
"Lets go for a walk; I'll see you guys later. Remus can you bring my books up" Sirius asked
"Sure" Sirius handed Remus his books, took Kathy's hand and lead her away from the group
"So what did you want to talk about" Kathy said trying to sound calm
"Were almost there"
"Where"
"The lake where we talked last time"
"Ok"
They walked the rest of the way in silence; Sirius let go of her hand and sat down between a willow tree and the lake. Kathy was confused, unsure of what she was supposed to do, so she decided to sit down as well.
"Sirius, is there something wrong" Kathy took his hand and squeezed it.
"No, there's nothing wrong, I just want to ask you something"
There was a moment of silence before
"Well"
"Would you."
"Would I"
"Would you be. my girlfriend"
"What" Kathy said shocked blinking continuously
"Would you want to be my girlfriend" Sirius repeated calmly
"Erm. Sirius I really like you but"
Sirius bowed his head
"You don't have to finish" Sirius said getting up, hurt
"No, I want to explain" Kathy said as she graved Sirius's hand to stop him
Sirius looked at her with eyes full of sadness and confusion, he took his other hand and held it over the one she was holding as he sat down
"Sirius you don't know me"
"So we'll get to know each other"
"It's not that easy"
"You don't like me do you?" Sirius said
"It's not that at all"
"Then you do like me"
"Sirius please let me finish" Kathy said looking up at him, Sirius only nodded
"You've only known me for less then 24 hours. You don't understand a thing about being a stupid cupid"
"I want to get to know you; I want to learn about you, understand who you are. You aren't a stupid cupid, you're a great person who helps other people"
Kathy looked into his eyes
"Wrong, I am a stupid cupid and in the end I'll hurt you. Sirius just trusts me ok" Kathy bowed her head
"One date" Sirius said
"What"
"Just give me one date to hogsmade tomorrow and if you want to go out with me after that it's totally up to you."
No you're making a mistake: is what she wanted to say but all that came out was "Ok"
"Tomorrow then meet me in the common room, 5:00"
"I'll be there, but now I have to go work to do"
"Anything I can do to help"
"Yeah make sure you guys do what's on the piece of parchment" Kathy turned and snapped her fingers turning her self-invisible as she walked away.
