The Famous Marauders
Chapter 23: Friends First
Kathy was smiling when someone reached over and graved her shoulder.
"What the-" she knew it was a man's strong arm that pulled her to face him.
Kathy blinked in disbelief at the person standing in front of her.
After a moment of silence she regained her words "why are you here" She said coldly staring into the pale eyes of Lucius Malfoy.
"I want your help" Kathy saw how hard it was for Malfoy to say that simple question, but she had no pity toward him
"You've got to be kidding me"
"You're that Kathy girl right"
"So" Kathy said not fully understanding where he was going with this.
"Lucius Malfoy" Kathy just raised an eyebrow
"Look, I wont be here if it wasn't important. So are you going to help me or not? And if not I'm not going to waist my time here" Malfoy sounded partly annoyed at Kathy's sour reaction
"Well, it depends" Kathy wore an unreadable expression
Malfoy seemed pleased with her answer
"What do you want?" said Kathy
"I ju-just wanted you to help me win" Malfoy's already low voice dropped
"I couldn't hear the last part" Kathy started to strain her ear
"I just wanted you to help me win Narcissa over from Potter"
"WHAT" Kathy said in disbelief thinking?
'This can't be happening!!! Just when my plan was working perfectly, life just goes and throws me a curve ball!!! I knew about the whole Narcissa liking James thing, but couldn't Malfoy have a crush on her after Valentines Day. This can't be happening to me! Why dose it always have to happen to me?'
"What you didn't hear me the first time!!!" Malfoy sounded angry at Kathy's reaction
"What?" Kathy said just above a whisper.
"Are you going to help me"?
"Erm. Narcissa has her own stupid cupid ask him"
"Well, he's hasn't been doing a very good job!!!!" Kathy wasn't surprised by Malfoy's reaction, but she did have some sympathy toward him
Her mind was screaming just say NO!! Don't help him!!! He doesn't deserve it!!! But her mouth betrayed her
"What do you want me to do?"
"I don't know! I feel so messed up right now. I wish I could kill Potter, but that would just make Narcissa hate me with a passion!!! I figured if anyone could help me it would be you"
Kathy saw the sincerity in his eyes
"Please" He finished
Kathy sighed, "Narcissa doesn't love James"
"I see the way she looks at him" Malfoy said mater-of-factly
"She just thinks she loves him" Kathy sighed and looked down at her feet
"What are you talking about" Malfoy said coldly
"Her stuipid cupid put a small spell on her to fall in love with James" Although Kathy didn't gaze away from her feet she could feel Malfoy's expression change from relieved to angry to confused then back to angry
"WHY" Was all he could say?
"Long story"
Kathy finally met his gaze only to see hell fire eyes.
(Hell fire eyes, I'm not sure if I made up the name or not, but they're usually in brown eyes. Like just when you're looking at the person with brown eyes and their really mad, you can see a maroon or kind of red color rise up, in what looks like flames.
Now Malfoy has pale blue eyes so when I say hell fire eyes, I mean you can see an icy color spark in their eye, it could send a shiver down your back.)
"WHY?" He repeated again anger rising
"You know what if your going to yell at me then I wont help you break the spell" Kathy said jumping up, hiding her slight fear.
That seamed to grave Malfoy's interest, but his temper rained over him
"AND HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DO THAT?"
"This is so not worth my time" Kathy turned to head to the castle before Malfoy graved her arm again
"I'm sorry, please help" His voice was calm, he might have had a temper but he wasn't stupid.
A smile spread across Kathy's face as she thought of how this could work for her plan.
"Step into my office, you get to help me get Lily and James back together" she took a seat on a bench and had her first long discussion with Lucius Malfoy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
COMMON ROOM
Kristy slept on Remus's lap, while he tried to comfort James.
"Sirius will fill you in on everything when he gets back" Remus whispered trying not to wake Kristy
"I wish he'd hurry up," James said to loudly
"Don't you have detention" Kristy got up feeling cranky
James looked down at his watch "I totally forgot, McGonicall will kill me"
"What do you have to do" Remus asked
"I have to wash the floors in front of the Great Hall again" James said sadly remembering when Lily had joined him last time
"See you guys" James said rushing out of the room
"Why are you smiling" Kristy said facing him
"Sirius requested it all part of Kathy's plan"
"Remus Lupin what are you talking about" Kristy said playfully.
"Well, Lily joined them last time for detention and that's when they think Lily really fell for James"
"So you're trying to recreate that" Kristy smiled "how romantic"
"You want to help me with the next part"
"Yeah sure, how"
"Easy when Lily comes in, we have to get her out"
"Then what"
"We wait"
"That's it?" Kristy seamed disappointed
"Yeah, then we get the common room to ourselves"
"Remus, there are people all around us"
"Really I only see one person worth while" Remus said looking at Kristy. Kristy blushed as Lily stepped in the common room
"Lily over here" Kristy called out
"Hey" Lily pulled off her cloak
"Hi" Remus greeted
"I'm starving" Lily said as her stomach made a noise
"Me to, can you run down to the kitchens," Kristy said overly excited
"Yeah sure" Lily hadn't noticed Kristy's reaction her mind was on how James took her to the kitchens the day they watched the sun rise.
"I'll be back in a minute," Lily said heading out of the common room
"Or so you think" Remus whispered in Kathy's ear making her laugh
Lily hadn't even noticed James watching her at the bottom of the staircase, or Malfoy waiting for her at the halfway mark.
"Lily" Malfoy forced out trying to sound attracted to her
"Malfoy" Lily said not caring about his presence
Malfoy graved Lily and pulled her into a deep kiss. Lily struggled to pull away, but Malfoy's hands held her to tight. As he probably expected James punched him across the face, making him fall to his knees.
"Are you ok, Lily" James said pulling Lily to her feet
"Get of me" Lily was still mad about James kissing the blond
Lily left James and Malfoy alone.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING?" James yelled when Lily vanished
"What do you care, Potter?" Malfoy said coldly making his way to the dungeons
James stared in disbelief; he suddenly didn't feel angry as he watched Malfoy leave
'If this doesn't work that stupid cupid is dead' Malfoy thought to himself as he saw Kathy leaned on the wall next to the staircase to the dungeons. Her legs crossed in front of her.
"Well I did it, I don't know why I did, but I did! Happy now" Malfoy said coldly
"I'm happy for now, you know what you have to do tomorrow right" Kathy question feeling her plan was finally working
"Yeah, tomorrows the easy part, but sadly for you the mudblood smudged me and Potter off." Malfoy smirked
"So little you know, Lily has to pass by there again to get back to her common room" Kathy said smiling before heading off
Lily made her way into the kitchens, "Hello" she said happily at the same house elf she had seen with James
"Miss. Lily!!!" The house elf squealed
"Would it be to much to ask for a few cookies?" Lily said to the elf as she just felt like taking a nice long bath right now
Within seconds two house elves appeared with a try of cookies
"Thank you" she said not realizing her hunger, she picked up a chocolate chip cookie and wrapped the rest in a napkin before again thanking and hugging some of the elves. She left the kitchens and made her way to the staircase before stopping to watch James
He slid with his back to her when none other then the blond haired girl stopped to talk to him
Lily leaned in closer to over hear,
"Hey" The blond said flirty
"Can I help you" James said flatly
"No, you've already done enough" She said taping James shoulder before leaving
Lily saw James shrug,
"Lily, you can come out," he said taking Lily completely off guard
"How'd you know I was here?" She said surprised before remembering she was mad at James
"You were always a bad spy" James smiled at her
"Why did you have to kiss her?" Lily said sadly
"I didn't" James tried
"Yes, you did I know for a fact that it was you at the bottom of the staircase, but I know it wasn't you at the Three Broomsticks" Lily emitted
"She was hurt I helped her up she kissed me I was pulling her off when you caught us" James said honestly
"Erm." Lily couldn't help, but believe him. She didn't want to but there was something in his eyes that made her listen.
"Ok" she mouthed
"What"
"I said ok, I believe your story"
"Really"
"Yeah, but I still don't want to be your girlfriend"
"Why"
"Because I think we both need to grow up a little first, friends ok" Lily said
"Yeah, friends" Lily could hear the hurt in his words she turned and walked away
"Thanks for getting Malfoy off"
"Hey Lily" James said shrugging the feeling
"Yes" Lily loved the way James said her name
"Want to improve your skating?" James showed of sliding back and forth
"Yeah, sure" Lily said happily
Kathy had witnessed the seen and quickly made her way to the common room.
"What took you" Sirius said sitting on one of the couches. The room was nearly empty now, besides Sirius there was only Kristy looking wide eyes huddled against Remus.
"Remus cross out friends first on step number five" Kathy said happily throwing herself on the couch next to Sirius
"It worked" Sirius grinned
"Yeah"
"How'd you get Malfoy to do it" Kristy asked
"How dose she get anyone to do anything" Sirius wrapped his arms around Kathy
"So what's next?" Remus asked checking the list
"Wow tomorrows Valentines Day already" He said looking up
