PIERCED AT THE HEART

2. Sword Lessons

Don't stand in my way

'Cause I'll bring you down

Don't try to resist

No one's pushing you 'round

Why try to be cool

When you can't pull it off

Why try so hard

When there's no reward.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

James woke up to the sound of loud singing coming from the shower. Sirius must be up early, he

thought as he rummaged in his chest for a towel. As he lifted his head he saw Sirius coming out

of the bathroom with his wet hair standing up in an odd shape that resembled a porcupine.

"Sirius?! What happened to you?" Remus asked from the top bunk.

"A bad case of gel," Sirius answered grumpily.

"You always told me you hated that stuff." James called trying to force his short black hair to lie

flat and gritting his teeth in frustration as it sprang up again.

"And now that hate has turned into pure loathing." Sirius mumbled he put on his robes.

Remus leaped off his bed and landed with a thud onto the floor. "Full moon's in a week." he

said, slightly shuddering.

"Where are we going?" James asked, fishing out his reading glasses and taking a look at the

lunar calendar.

"I thought we decided on exploring the marsh." Sirius answered picking up his book bag and

walking towered the door.

"Oh, yeah, I remember." James said drying his hair after hed dunked his head in a full sink of

cold water.

The threesome picked up their things and left the dormitory. Upon entering the common room

they walked in on an interesting sight.

"Oh, hello," Lily greeted in the middle of a stretch. Upon seeing the boys' faces she offered an

explanation. "There wasn't enough spaces in my bedroom so I came here."

"You have your own bedroom?" Sirius asked.

"Yes, and if James actually realized it, he also does," Lily said. "Oh, and you three might want to

change and not stuff yourselves at breakfast. You and the other 7th years have swordsmanship

right after."

"Those two, swords, and Slytherins don't mix well," Remus told her, gesturing at her friends.

"Oh, but Moony," Sirius said with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "I do think that a couple of

scars on Snape's face wouldn't make it look much worse.

"I am going to make professor Cission give you a dull sword," Lily said as she walked passed

the boys and out of the common room.

"Just imagine, a blunt sword chapping through Severus and spilling blood and guts onto the

dungeon floor, where rats will feed on his remains," James thought out loud.

"Quit dreaming," Sirius commented.

"I say its bloody brilliant, pun intended," Remus said.

"Har dee har har." James attempted to laugh. "Let's go to breakfast."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~AFTER BREAKFAST~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Lily sat on top of a wooden post, cleaning her broadsword. The cloth slipped and the sharp blade cut

slightly through her already-scarred hand, the blood falling on her navy pants.

"Monsieur, when are the seventh years coming?" She asked her teacher and friend as she got down

from the post and went to the first aid kit for a bandage.

"Any minute now," Professor Cission answered in very broken English. "I hope zat zey no have

suicidal tendencies like my previous class. Do you reme..." he was cut short by the sound of the whole

seventh year bursting through the practice-room door. "Er, Lily do you mind taking ze Zlytherins and

the Gryffindorz?"

"Of course not," she said and then called out to the pool of students. "Hey, quiet." no response.

"Hello!" still no response. "SHUT UP!" the seventh year all stared at her. "Thank you! I am Lilian

Evans, as most of you should know from attending the Feast. I ask you to go to the changing rooms

and put on the padded suits. Girls' changing room is behind the green door, boys' the blue" she was

interrupted by the thunder of 60-odd bodies rushing to the changing rooms. "EXCUSE ME!!! Did I

tell you to go yet? I think not! Once you are done changing, Gryffindors and Slytherins will go with

me, to the other practice room. The rest of you will stay here with Professor Cission. Now you may

go."

Professor Cission walked up to her.

"Zat is goot, for ze first time, you will get better soon," he said. "Bonne chance." walked away.

Lily walked to the other practice room and waited for the Slytherins and Gryffindors seven years to

arrive. When they finally came she didn't feel like controlling her anger. "Eleven minutes?!

ELEVEN?! Tomorrow it better be half of that or else I will take off points," she ranted. "Now, go get

your foils." she was regarded by a group of smirking Slytherins. "Is there a problem?"

"Yeah," a boy wth blond hair and a haughty look said.

"Last name?" Lily asked.

"I'll give you my last and first name, pretty. It's Lucius Malfoy," the boy told her.

"Alright, five points from Slytherin," she said coldly, after glancing at her list of students.

"I think you are mistaken my love," Malfoy said attempting to intimidate his opponent by narrowing

his eyes.

"Malfoy, shut your trap," someone yelled.

Lily recognized the person's voice and called back to him, "Black you can use your own advice."

She got a number of stares, because nobody talked back to any of the Marauders. It was like an

unwritten Hogwarts rule, but one that when broken could result in serious consequences.

"I wish to hear the Death Eater's testimony," she continued. Once again gaining stares but this time

they mostly came from approving Gyffindors.

"If my father ..." Lucius begun, but was interrupted by Lily.

"According to Dumbledore, your father is very pleased that you are learning a sport which doesn't

involve hanging around on a broom. Dumbledore also told me that you have been accustomed to the

foil and according to your dear papa are very skilled."

Malfoy stood straight basking in the light of the last comment, showing off. "Yes, I am very skilled."

Lily smiled, evilly. "And would you be so kind as to show the class how skillful you are?"

"Why, of course."

"Then, I take it, you will agree to fence with me for the points you have lost your house? What do you

say we make it double or nothing? Do you think you could win?"

"Of course I can win."

"Good." Lily turned around to the rest of the class. "Mr. Malfoy has gladly volunteered to be part of

this educational demonstration. The purpose of this demonstration is learning to not challenge some

one with higher abilities." she turned back to Lucius. "Malfoy, put on your helmet."

The boy submitted to her request.

"I want all of you to notice that, although my sword tip is capped, Malfoy's is not. Now, please step

back." She drew her sword up to her lips. "Malfoy take your place. Engarde."

"Wait, you aren't wearing a suit." Malfoy said smirking.

"Don't need it." Came Lilies replay.

"The rest of the class stood in awe as the pair sprang back and forth, lashing at each other with quick

jerks. James Potter noticed something about the fencers. Malfoy moved with sharp jerks that

resembled a fledgling learning to fly, while Lily ... Lily was amazing. She moved gracefully and

surely, her blissful smile contrasting sharply with the grimace etched on Malfoy's face. She was a

dancer opposed to Malfoy's monster.

The boys in the room stared as the lacing to Lily's shirt untied and the collar opened, slightly revealing

her cleavage. James heard a wolf whistle from Sirius. Lily barely noticed the rude gesture and lunged

for an open spot in Malfoy's defense. She masterly knocked the foil out of his hands and presented the

tip of her sword to his throat.

She took the opportunity to retie her shirt collar. The students looked in horror as Malfoy picked up his

sword and swung it at Lily.

"Lily, watch out!" James yelled.

The sword hit Lily's arm, opening a shallow but none the less long cut. Lily didn't flinch nor did she

need James' warning. She picket up her sword and uncapped the tip. A few quick slashes later,

Malfoy's padded suit slid down to his ankles. The class laughed as Lucius fumbled with the cut straps,

attempting to cover his snitch embroidered green under garments.

"Quiet!" Lily shouted. "Ten points from Slytherin for Malfoy's bug ego. Potter, lesson number one;

Don't warn a person who is about to get attacked wit ha sword. If he is a master then he will know

what to do. If not, too bad. Black, please refrain from making inappropriate noises. As for the rest of

you, go get your foils, now."

Lily begun an extended explanation of the proper way to hold a sword, her wound forgotten.

Professor Cission, who had been standing in the doorway, laughed softly and left the room. She has

potential, to be a stoic army general, zat is. He thought.

Well that's it. This took me three days to type up. I hardly ever have any time. Anyways River Styx told me that a lot of people criticized this chapiter and told her to get her facts straight. My guess is they're either jealousy or they don't got no imagination. If you don't like the story then don't read it. If you keep on reading it then you like it you just don't want to admit it. Anyways I really hoped you enjoyed it. Nex chapiter will be up within this few days.

Luv ya all Gbaby
