The Flower's story chp15
"To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing."
-Elbert Hubbard
"James, come on! It's already morning!"
"DO you really think I don't know that! But Sirius, we have the rest of the week off!"
Lily slowly opened her eyes, wondering where she was. She didn't exactly want to get up, because there was a slight ring her ears whenever she moved.
"Mornin sleepy head!" Sirius whispered
She startled to mumble and the only thing that Sirius heard come out of her mouth was 'Davey Crocket'.
He looked to James "What's a Davey Crocket?" James shrugged
Lily slowly got up, with a major stomach ache.
"Lily, What in Godric's name are you doing down here at 7:00 in the morning?"
"I could ask you the same thing." Lily peered over James' shoulder to see Sirius and Remus. She saw that they were waiting for an answer. She rolled her eyes, She couldn't exactly tell them that she had a nightmare.
"I got sick last night." Was all she said
"How sick?" Remus asked
"Remus I just threw up all right?" She was getting a little aggravated. Who were they to ask her these things! Her feelings obviously showed on her face.
"Yikes. We were just asking." James said
"Sure, what ever."
"Anywho. On a good note, We now have all the ingredients for the potion we have to make!"
"what potion?"
"Hello? Is anyone in there!? The potion for the Animagus transformations!"
"SSSHHHH!" They hissed at Sirius
"Sorry!" He rolled his eyes at them
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
During the next few weeks Remus, James, Peter, and Sirius were hardly seen. Mostly only in classes. They had a secret, and Lily, Tasha, and Molly wanted to know what it was.
"What are they talking about?" Tasha hissed at Lily "I mean...I've hardly talked to Sirius since the dance."
"You mean since you knocked everyone over?"
She sighed at the memory.
"Ms. Evan's! If you are going to talk please do it else where!" Professor McGonogall hissed
"Sorry miss!" Lily apologized
At the end of the lesson Tasha and Lily caught up with the boys.
"You chaps have hardly been talking to us at all these past few weeks! It's not fair!" Tasha exclaimed
"What? We're not allowed to have some manly time?" Sirius asked
"Whoa!" Tasha closed her eyes in disgust
"OK!" Molly blocked her ears
"Don't need to know anymore!" Lily covered her mouth pretending to barf
"Sea no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil!" Remus said to James
"HA HA HA!" Lily said sarcastically "Fine! Have your 'manly time'! But don't expect to get anything from us, anytime soon!" Lily flipped her hair around and walked away.
Molly and Tasha followed her lead and soon they were flipping and walking. The boys stood there gawking at Lily.
"When did she learn how to talk like that?" Sirius looked to James and gave him a huge smirk "SO...you get things from Lily eh?"
James hit him above the head
"I could say the same for you and Tasha!"
Sirius' face turned red.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
The soft sound of water running from a lake and the smooth crackle of a fire was settling. James sat facing the large fire burning, he looked over to where a little boy was playing in the bushes. He saw an older man approach the boy, he had long fingers and a cloak was covering his face. James tried to yell at the little boy and warn him. But nothing came out of his voice. There was just silence. The man took the boy by the neck and killed him.
James sat up in his bed and started hyperventilating. Why would any man want to kill an innocent boy? Voldemort! Anger raised through his body.
James jumped out of bed and grabbed his invisibility cloak. 'Why would I dream about that?' he thought to himself. He opened the door and walked downstairs and through the portrait hole. He just kept thinking about the dream that he wasn't even looking where he was going.
What could that boy have to do with me? He suddenly stopped thinking to himself when his foot stepped into a puddle the size of a lake. He looked up and saw that he did step into the lake. The Giant Squid was bringing it's tentacles up to the surface and splashing James.
"Hey!" He hissed "Stop that!" He realized what he was doing and that his foot was still half way in the water. He pulled it out and turned to go back to the dormitory.
When he finally got to Gryffindor tower he walked through the portrait hole and sat down on a seat. 'I don't understand' he shook his head and suddenly felt very alone. So he walked back to Gryffindor tower and fell asleep.

Christmas was upon Hogwarts once again, and it seemed everyone was in the Christmas spirit. Professor Flitwick was seen singing Carols in his Reindeer robes. Of course there was yet another dance coming up right after the holidays. So people went home to get new dress robes and gowns.
"So who's staying and who's leaving this year?" James asked
"I'm leaving!" Said Tasha grumpily
"Staying" chimed in Remus and Lily
"Same here!" Said Peter and Sirius
"Leaving." Said Molly
"SO...the only ones leaving are Tasha and Molly!" James looked to Sirius and Remus and put a hand on Lily's back. She gave him a look
"Too bad you guys!" he gave Lily a sly smile
She pushed his hand away from her back. She smiled sarcastically at him.
"Dream on" she whispered
They laughed at the look on James' face. He was pouting at her and and whimpering like a dog.
"Oh! So now your begging eh?" She took his chin "Unless you tell us women what you MEN were talking about, you don't get anything!"
He pulled her toward him until she was on his lap.
"I'll tell you later!" she whispered into her ear.
She shrugged and got off his lap.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
The day Tasha and Molly left to go home, It looked as though Tasha and Sirius would never see each other again.
"My god! It's as though she's eating him!" James sighed and put his arm around Lily
"Oh I know you'd like that! But............" She smiled at him and shook her head no
"Hmph" said James "I'm not talking to you!" He said imitating her
"Are you mocking me?" She asked indignantly
"No!" He obviously was
"Oh your gonna get it!" she started running after him and chasing him back to Hogwarts. "Get back here!"
James hid behind a corner and stayed there until she ran past him.
"James? Where are you? This is not funny!"
"Oh yes it is!" he said as he picked her up from behind and spun her around.
When he put her down she was very dizzy!
"Great! Now your going to have to carry me!" She pouted
"I have no problem with that!" He lifted her up onto his back and gave her a piggy back ride into the Castle
"AAAWWW look how cute" Sirius said
"You should talk! DO you have enough of Tasha's mouth to last you over the holiday's?"
"Yep!" Sirius smiled and walked past them
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"OK, it says right here that you have to put the drag sprout in on the full moon!" Lily read from a book she was consulting
"How appropriate!" Said James looking at Remus
"It's going to take a long time to do this chaps! I don't think you boys will be able to actually transform until next year!"
"I can't believe it!" Sirius stormed into the common room
"Hey it's not that big of a problem Sirius!" Remus said
"No not whatever you were talking about! It's Snape! He got me a detention, I can't believe him! That slimy git actually got ME Sirius Black a detention!"
"Really? Wow Sirius you usually never need help in that area!" James rolled his eyes
"What did you do?"
"That doesn't matter! But when I'm an animagus that dolt won't have a head by the time I', through with him!"
"Calm down Sirius!" Lily didn't want him to do anything drastic
"I need to let off some steam! James get your invisibility cloak, and the map, lets go to Hogsmeade!"
"Why do I need the invisibility cloak? We are aloud to go whenever we want this holiday!"
Sirius looked as though he was lost.
"Poor poor Sirius!"
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
On Christmas morning Lily woke up and found a whole bunch a presents at the edge of her bed. She also saw James the owl asleep on the edge of her bed in the middle of a delivery. She smiled to herself while she woke him up!
"I'm going to have to get you a nickname!" She gave him an owl treat and sent him back to the owlery.
She gathered all her presents and put them into one bag and crept into the boy's dormitory.
"It's my turn to wake you boys up" she went over to James and transfugured a pencil into a feather
She started tickling him under the chin. He didn't wake up. She frowned
"I don't think that's going to work" said Remus' voice
"why not?"
"Because I'm already awake." She jumped at this
"Spoil sport!" she said while she pulled back all the other boy's curtains to their beds.
"Come on get up Sirius! We're going to open presents up together this year!" She threw a pillow at him
"Hey..." he grumbled
She sat on James' bed while opening her presents and after opening James' gift (a music box that played the song they danced to at the first dance) she was so excited that she leaned over and gave him a big kiss.
"Now that's what I wanted for Christmas!"
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Lily was working on some more of the Animagus charms when James came up to her.
"So anything new?" he asked kissing her cheek
"No!" she said laying against his chest. Lily wasn't really thinking of the Animagi charms, but the dream she had. How could she and James be dead? Was it the future, or just anxiety? But anxiety for what?
"What's the matter Lil?" he said loooking worried
"James the night I got sick, you remember, I had just woken up from a terrible nightmare! Now don't make fun but, there was this awful man He had two limp people in his hands. A man and a woman, and their was a baby in a crib!" she shivered.
Lily didn't think that she needed to tell him who the man and woman was.
"I had a nightmare where Voldemort had murdered a little boy. He was about three years old! I tried to stop him but nothing came out of my voice when I yelled!"
"I guess we're both scared." Lily stated
"For what though?" He asked
"What's left of our families." She said simply looking back at him
He smiled at her and laid back against the couch. Lily listened to the sound of his heart beat, and let her eyes droop. He stroked her hair and also started to fall asleep. They both had their dreams again but staid in place comforting each other with their heart beats
AN: Ta da! I might not be able to get up another chapter soon! I have mi baby cuz over and boy is he a hand full! He always wants me to play with him! Ugh! Kids lol. My quote doesn't make any sense but I juz thought it wuz pretty koool!
