The Flower's Story Ch.4




I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary
Ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end
of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's
realities.

--Dr. Seuss


As the weeks passed, the whole gang found themselves getting closer to each other. They did practically everything together. But some members of the group were getting bored.

"Jamesy-poo?" James looked up from his homework.

"Not now Sirius" He was getting very tired of that name.

"I'm bored." Sirius groaned, while flopping onto an armchair.

" Do your homework like a normal person"

"James, do remember who your talking to" Remus laughed.
"Sirius would never do homework before the very last minute."

"Unless, It was a different kind of homework!" He grinned.

"What do you mean?" asked James getting interested.

"James, James, James, You know! The kind of practical homework!" He winked.

"OOOOOOHHHHHHHH! I like the way you think my boy!" They looked to Remus and Peter(Who had fallen asleep on his homework) for aproval.

"I'm confused" Remus said.

"Well only an amateur would be confused."

"James dahling what shall our studying subject be tonight?" He grinned wildly.

"Well Sirius I think Mrs Norris should suffice!" He grinned right back

Remus was actually catching on.

But what shall the experiment be?" he said

"Mrs. Norris.....................Purple" They all started planning and looking through books to find the perfect spell.

"Wait!" Remus called.

"What" James and Sirius said in unison.

"We'll get caught!"

" Remus, that's where James actually comes in handy for something"

"Hey that wasn't nice!" he said with a pout.

"It's a tough world deary, get used to it" he said as he pulled something large and shimmering out from James's trunk.

"Oh wow, that's amazing! That's an invisibility cloak! Where'd you get it?"

"It's a family thing!"

They checked the clock and made sure it was late enough for no one to be in the common room. Then set out for their little 'experiment'.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*

"Ow, Sirius you just stepped on my foot"

"that wasn't me!"

"yes it was!"

"Sshhhh. There she is. Ok. Sirius you hold her and Remus and I will do the spell.

"why do I have to hold her? I mean who knows where that thing has been"
but he grabbed her anyway.

"hurry up! This thing is making so much noise to wake the entire school up!"


They sprinkled some stuff on her that looked exactly like pixy dust.and said the charm.

They dropped her,threw the invisibility cloak back on and ran for their lives.

"Great wizards that was the most hysterical thing! Did you see her face when sirius grabbed her!"

"I'm going to be washing my hand's for a month!"

they laughed some more about it and went to bed. Halloween was tomorrow and they wanted all the rest they could get.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*

"Happy Halloween! We have no classes today! Whoopee!"

Obviously Tasha was just a little too happy today.

"Will you stop frolicking about? For the dormitories sake?"

Tasha looked around the dormitory and saw that she pretty much trashed the place.

"Oops. Sorry" She blushed

"I would hope so! 'oops'!" She said mocking Professor McGonagall

This sent them into hysterics.

"Great! Now you got Lily al hyper!"

"Yep" Tasha said as she was tickling Lily.

"So what am I suppose to do? Clean up this mess?"

Tasha and Lily looked at each other gave this thought and then pounced on molly.

"No stop stop stop stop no!"

After a whole tickling fest they flopped down onto molly's bed.

"that was fun!"

"Yeah sure it was!"

"It was"

"Lil, sometimes I think your as crazy as sirius and James!"

"Whoa! No one can be as crazy as sirius. Definitely James but not sirius."

"I think Tasha fits the bill pretty good!"

"Hey! That's not fair!"

"Tough Noogies doll!"

Cue the giggles.


*-*-*-*-*-*

The weeks flew by and soon it was almost Christmas.
Molly, Remus, Tasha, Peter and Remus were, going home for the holidays.

Lily owled her parents and told them that she wants to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas. But promised to come home the next Christmas holidays.

"Petunia wont't really care!"

"who's that?" James asked

"My muggle older sister! She is as muggle as you can get, and she has this boyfriend who looks like a pig!"

Tasha snorted. Everyone laughed.

"Well you guys have to tell al us people who like going home anything that happens."

"Okey dokey!"

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*


It was Christmas Eve and everyone had already left. James, Lily, and sirius were sitting in the common room waiting for anything interesting to happen.

"I'm bored." Sirius whined for the fifth time.

"Really? I hadn't noticed." Lily rolled her eyes.

"Oh. Well I'm Bored!" He smiled at her.

"Ok that's it!"

Lily took a pillow and started beating sirius with it.

"Hey. Hey. Stop."

She stopped and sat down on the floor.

"Guess what?" Lily said

"what?"

"I'm bored."

James rolled his eyes.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*


"Lily dahling! Wake up"
Sirius shook Lily a little.

"Jamsy-poo, she's not waking up!"

"Sirius leave this to the pros!"
James took a deep and breath.

"WWWWWWAAAAAAAAKKKKKKEEEEE UUUUPPPPPP"
He yelled right in her face.

She giggled. "You scream really funny!"

"Hey so I was the one to wake you up!" He looked at James. "Ha! Pro"

"Actually I was already up. I just felt like lying down." She looked around at them. "You do know you chaps aren't suppose to be in here right?"

"Yes but we want to see what you got from Jolly ol' Saint Nick."

She looked to the edge of the bed.

"Wow! I didn't even see those."

"I bet you didn't"

Lily opened the first parcel.

"It's from Tasha."

Tasha got her a box a chocolate frogs and a little note that said IOU.

"Hey! That's what she got me to!" Sirius complained

Lily also got a sweater from her parents. A toothbrush from Petunia
"Very thoughtful, she would usually get me lint"
Sirius had gotten her a book of charms (It was her favorite subject)
James had gotten her a magazine with brooms in it. "Gee, thanks."

"No for your birthday and next Christmas I'll get you a broom. My family is a little wealthy."

"Wealthy? You should see this lads house." She smiled

Molly gave her a small necklace with her Initials on it.
Remus gave her a small picture album with pictures of them ever since they were little. But a spell had been put on them so they move.

"How long have you two known each other?" James asked

"Oh, ever since Remus got his wer- his um......... reward for our town's relay races."

"where do you two live?"

"Little Whinging"

"oh."

And last but not least Peter gave her a little bag of Bertie Blots every flavor bean's.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Later that night when they were walking down to the feast they had an uninvited encounter with a certain slytherin.

"Oh look it's the Wringling brothers and their pet mudblood!"

Lily didn't know what mudblood was but she knew it was bad instantly, because Sirius and James had jumped in front of her with their wands out.

"All right Snape, don't you think that was just a little bit over the top?"
Lily had never seen Sirius act so...............Serious before.

"Really! Even that was more slimy then usual! Even for you!"

"It's all right. Lets just go and leave this git alone."
Lily walked right up to his face.
"He's just a touch crankey because its past his bedtime. Right snapy-poo?"

They walked into the great hall.

"What's a mudblood?" she asked.

"Remember what muggle-born is?"

She nodded.

"Well it's a very dirty word for it. It means dirty blood. Not pure-blood like severus over there. But it doesn't matter, he's just jealous."

"Oh. Well thanks for defending me you guys!"

"No problem! When we se a damsel in distress we race to help her."

"And then Sirius scares her off by turning her hair purple for a month. He has yet to do that to you!"

Lily impulsively looked at her hair and then they all laughed.


*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Everyone had gotten back from the holiday's with their heads still on their shoulders. But now they had to study for their upcoming end of year exams.

"I'm doomed! I can't remember when the uprising of Elfric the Eager took place!"
Molly was having these tantrums everyday now.

"I don't know what your fussing about! You want to hear my motto?"

"No!" She said hysterically.

"To bad! Study for one day pass the next day!" Tasha smiled at her Brilliance.

James and Lily smiled at each other both knowing how crazy she was.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*

In years to come Lily would never know how she passed the exams.
But they were over and that's all that mattered. But the bad news was, she was going back to the hell pit she like to call petunia the next day.

"Don't be so sad Lily! We'll see each other during the summer!"
Tasha said trying to cheer her up.

"Yea, Sirius and I'll pop in on our broomsticks just to scare her every now and then!"

"Tanks!" She said through a mouth full of sausage! She accidently sprayed sirius with some food.

"You girls still don't know how to eat with your mouths closed do you?"

They all laughed and remembered their first feast at Hogwarts.

Dumbledore stood up to speak for the very last time that year.

"My dear students. It has been a very wonderful year, and you have all summer to empty out those brains of yours. Slytherin has won the House cup. Yet Gryffindor the Quiditch cup. I wish you all a very happy holidays! See you next year!"

The next morning they all managed to squish into one compartment on the way home. They were laughing at memories of the school year. And what was to come of next year. When the train entered platform 9 3/4's lily bid goodbye to her friends and raced off to find her parents.

"Mum! Dad! It's so good to see you!" she said as she leaped into her fathers arms.

"Oh darling we missed you so much! How was school?"

"It was amazing I have so much to tell you!"
"That's lovely dear but first we have to find Remus! We're driving him home!"

"Ok! I'll go look for him!"

she ran off.

"Oy! Remus!"

"I thought you leaft Lil!?" He looked puzzled.

"Not without you! We're driving you home! Come on lets go!"

And with that Lily's summer began with her very best friend!

AN: Ok don't worry that's not it! I'm not sure if I'm gonna do a summer chapter or juz skip to second year. So please help me decide thanks a bunches people for the support! I luv you and peace!
