Chapter 5
"Sirius has the worst timing!" James thought. "I have to go get dressed, be back in a couple minutes." James said and ran up to the boys' dormitory.
"So, Lily! Trying to get a snog in before classes? Tut-tut." Sirius said, shaking his head.
"Grow up, we were not snogging." Lily retorted.
"Sure!" Lily just rolled her eyes. Kellie walked down the boys' dormitory stairway.
"Kellie, you slept up there again?" Lily asked, with an amused face.
"Umm, no. I well, you see... Remus needed help with his astronomy homework and well, I helped him!"
"Right, so that was why you weren't in the girls' dorm at all last night?"
"Umm... yes!"
"Why are you wearing, Remus' shirt?" Sirius asked with a smirk.
"Well, umm. I don't have an answer for that." Kellie blushed and the others snickered. Kellie went upstairs and got changed into her school robes. Remus, James, and Kellie, miraculously came down at the same time. They went to the Great Hall. Meanwhile Mia, Ashley and Bella were talking.
"You know, it's a good thing that I heard about Sirius cheating on you." Mia said, back facing Bella.
"Right, your absolutely sure it was Sirius with Chrissy, right?" Bella said, biting her lip.
"I'm absolutely positive, umm...Bella, I heard two people talking behind your back last night." Mia said looking at Bella shyly.
"Who?" Bella asked.
"Well, it was a umm... Lily and Kellie. They said you were a bitch, and a slut and they've just aways pretended to be your friends."
"What?! Those bitches!" Bella was outraged.
"Listen, Bella. Ashley and I, we are your true friends. We would never dream of stabbing you in the back." Mia turned around and mouthed "Sike!" Mia, Bella and Ashley walked down to the Great Hall, on the other side of the table- away from the Marauders and Co. The Marauders and Co. went to their first class- Transfiguration.
Kellie and Remus sat in front, then Sirius and Peter, and then James and Lily. Proffesser McGonagall was just dronning on about animangi, which everyone knew about. Ever since Lily found out about Remus, she and Kellie had begun studying about it. They decided awhile ago they wanted to become animangi. They might be able to transform tomorrow.
James noticed Lily had a far-off look in her eyes. James wondered what she was thinking about. 'Maybe she's thinking about our almost-kiss.' he thought hopefully. 'She looks as beautiful as ever.' he thought. 'If only I could get her alone for just a minute and kiss her, run my hand through her hair.' James snapped out of his dream when class was dismissed.
Later in the common room...
Sirius had just left five minutes ago to go onto the pitch and think. It had just struck 8 o'clock. Lily got up.
"I have to go do something I'll be back around 9 or 10." She said quickly and ran out the common room and onto the pitch.
"Hello Lily, and I thought you might have forgotton." Sirius said hovering over her.
"Oh, no Sirius. I am here, so what do you want me to do?"
"Well you see, Charles and Ty are graduating this year so we have two positions open next year- Seeker and Keeper."
"Okay."
"So I am going to try to teach you both of those positions."
"No broom." "Lily, Lily you worry way too much." Sirius went into the equipment room and got a broom and the balls. "How about we start with seeker- much more safer."
"Safer, the seeker is safer!?"
"Okay, not totally; but we've got to start somewhere!"
"Whatever you say." Sirius showed Lily how to mount onto the broom, showed her how to steer it, and how to have total control over it. Lily grasped it all pretty quick, but Lily was always good at learning things. She had watched literally every quidditch game that had been held at Hogwarts since first year. Sirius took out the golden snitch and let it go. Lily waited a few minutes and let it fly off. Then she went looking for it. She went up about twenty feet into the air and hovered there. She spotted it near the Ravenclaw seats and shot full speed to it. She was gaining on it and reached out her hand. She grabbed it! She caught the golden snitch!
Sirius was amazed. No one he had ever seen could fly like that their first time, or catch a snitch like that. Lily went over to Sirius and handed him the snitch.
"Lils, that was remarkable!"
"Thanks."
"It really was." said a shadowed figure from the dark. He stepped into the light and they saw it was Jack Booker, the Gryffindor capiton.
"Thanks, Jack." Lily smiled.
"No problem. You are trying out next year, right?"
"Yes, she is." Sirius answered.
"Great! If you can fly like that on a school broom, there is no telling how good you'll be on a designer broom. See you tommorrow during practice, Sirius."
"See you, Jack! Told you, you'd be awesome, Lils." Sirius put the broom and balls away. Sirius and Lily walked into the common room, where they saw James, pacing.
"Do you two know what time it is?" James said, arms folded.
"Umm, no sir." Sirius saluted.
"10:30! I've been worried about you two for the last thirty minutes!"
"James, why were you so worried?" Lily asked.
"Well, you see, umm...there, er."
"I think what he is trying to say is that he LLLLOOOOVVVVEEEESSSS YOU!" Sirius said and ran up into the boys' dorm. James followed in suit. Lily just shook her head and muttered "boys..."
~*~*~ [James woke up the next morning, and walked downstairs to see Lily on the couch in her school robes. She looked up at him and smiled.
"Hello, James."
"Hello, Lily."
"How are you?" Lily asked getting up and walking towards him. Her red hair flowed on her shoulders.
"Good." Lily was now very close to him, her hands on his shoulders. James lifted his hand underneath her neck and pulled her to him. They shared a passionate kiss.]
"JAMES!" Sirius yelled at him. James bolted up and his head hit Sirius' chin. "OWWW!" they said at the same time.
"James we have to go down to the great hall- the girls are waiting."
"Okay." James sighed
"James, are you okay?"
"Umm.. yea why?"
"You well, kinda, said someone's name. Actually, more like moaned it."
"Oh..."
"You were dreaming of Lily, eh?"
"Yes." James said taking off his shirt and getting changed into his school clothing.
"Sex?"
"No!"
"That would have been such good blackmail too!"
"Right, umm, don't tell her."
"But-"
"No."
"She-"
"No."
"Might-"
"No."
"Like-"
"No."
"You!"
"NO!"
"Fine, party pooper!" Sirius mocked, glared at him, and walked downstairs. James then walked downstairs, where everyone was waiting. Sirius and Lily were talking to Jack. Kellie and Remus were talking to each other and Mia, Ashley and Bella were talking on the other side of the common room. James walked over to where Lily, Sirius and Jack were.
"Hey, guys."
"Hello, James." Lily said and smiled.
"Hey, James." Jack said.
"What were you guys talking about?" James asked.
"Oh you know this and that. I got to go meet up with Kayla. See you guys later." Jack said and ran out of the common room. So, what were you guys talking about?" James asked, eyebrows raised.
"Nothing." Lily answered.
"I'm hungry. Yo, Romeo and Juliet, you guys want to go down to breakfast?" Sirius asked Kellie and Remus, who were kissing at the time. They turned to him.
"Okay." They said at the same time.
~*~*~
Later in Astronomy, Kristen was explaining about the constellation Orion.
"Kellie, what is the Lambda star in the constellation of Orion?" Kristen asked.
"Meissa."
"Correct. Remus, the Beta star please."
"Rigel."
"Correct. Natalie, the Gamma star please."
"Bellatrix."
"What? Did someone say my name?" Bellatrix looked up from her gossiping friends.
"They did say your name, but they were not addressing you." Kristen smiled.
"Why did they say my name?"
"Because we are studing your cousin's middle name." Kristen smiled.
"Hey!" Sirius shouted.
"Calm, down. Anyhow, as I was saying, you will be having an report about one of the six constellations out this month. Your choices for those who don't know" she paused, glancing at Bellatrix and her friends. "are Caelum, Dorado, Mensa, Orion, Reticulum, and Taurus. It's due Februrary 21. I will be picking groups randomly. Kristen summoned a hat and she dumped pieces of paper into them. She shook the hat up and drew a piece.
"Kellie and Bellatrix. James and Natalie, Sirius and Lucius, Remus and Alexa..." Kristen went on until everyone had a partner. The bell rang and eveyone left, heading to the Library.
"I can't believe I was put with that bitch." Kellie said, glaring at a book.
"You can't believe she's your partner? Well, I've got Lucius. How do you think I feel?" Sirius exclaimed.
"You two, calm down." Remus said doing some of Binns' homework.
Bellatrix and Lucius entered the Library. Bellatrix sat down next to Kellie.
"You're smart. You do the project- not on Orion." Kellie put one hand behind her back and crossed her fingers.
"Of course." Kellie said politely. The boys raised their eyebrows at her. Lucious and Sirius were in a staring contest.
"You do it!" Lucius shouted.
"No way!" Sirius yelled back.
"Shut up! You both do it!" Kellie yelled.
"Fine." They both mutered. They flipped through the pages harshly, as if trying to take their anger out on the book pages.
"Were doing Taurus, Black."
"Whatever, Blondie."
"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?" Lucius raged.
"THE BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP, OR YOU'RE BOTH GOING TO BE IN THE HOSPITAL WING FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR!!!!!" Kellie screamed. Kellie was not one to ever yelled at anyone, so everyone turned and looked at her.
Sirius and Lucius, gazed at her wide-eyed, slowly backed away, and sat down. They all did their work until 8 o'clock, when Sirius said he had to do something.Sirius ran down to the quiddditch pitch where Lily and Jake were.
"About time, Sirius." Jake said.
"Yeah, I know." Jake and Sirius were both beaters so they decided that it would be good to see if Lily could dodge bludgers while trying to catch the snitch.
"Your muggle born, so it's basically like dodgeball, only you could well, go unconcious if you don't dodge it." Jake said simply.
"Whats dodgeball?" Sirius asked, thoroughly confused.
"Muggle game." Jake and Lily said at the same time.
"Okay, then." Lily mounted onto her broom and flew up. The boys took one bludger out and each of them hovered on one side of the field. They aimed the bludger at Lily. Lily avoided them very well, only getting knocked off once. She also managed to catch the snitch. The day faded into night and they all headed to the Gryffindor common room. Kellie, Remus, and James were doing some homework.
"Eh, Kellie why did you agree to do all the work for the Astronomy report?" Sirius asked. The others looked at her, waiting for her reply.
"Well, you see, if you pay any attention in class, you would know that
"Kristen also wants us to go up and do an oral report."
"She said that?" James asked.
"No, but she wrote it on the board."
"No one except you reads the board." Sirius said.
"I know. If you read it, though, you must state which one of you will be reading the oral presentation. The other one presents some pictures and things like that. Bellatrix is going to be reading the oral presentation on Orion."
~*~*~
"Do you think we can do this, Lily?" Kellie asked, looking at the potion in front of her.
"Yes, I do."
"But, it's illegal."
"Yes."
"You know, we could get in loads of trouble if we get caught."
"Yep."
"What if..."
"Just drink!" Lily yelled, clearly getting annoyed.
"Okay, lets see how about a cat- black fur." Kellie drank it and became a cat with black fur, and white fur around the paws.
"Okay, now just think about turning back into yourself." Kellie transformed into herself again.
"Great- now me." Lily thought really hard about what she wanted to be-, a fox. Lily transformed into a red-haired fox. They turned back into their animangi form, and left for the Whomping Willow. Kellie (in cat form), pressed the knot and walked in, the fox following not too far behind.
They saw the boys and joined them. The girls left before the boys left and gave each other nicknames. Lily's name was Vixen and Kellie's Boots. The girlsgot dressed and walked into the common room where the boys were just coming in.
"Hello, boys." Lily said happily.
"Hello, Lily." James said smiling at her. Remus sat down on the couch next to Kellie. Kellie put her arm around him, playing with his hair. Sirius coughed something that sounded like "Lovesick".
"So, what's up?" Lily asked.
"There were these two other animals that came down, and I don't know how." Sirius scratched his head.
"They were girls." Remus answered. Everyone looked at him. "The day before the full moon, the full moon, and the day after people have different smells." He took a meaningful glance at Lily and Kellie.
"Gender or people?"James asked.
"Both."
"Really, could you recognize them?"
"No, not really." Remus lied.
"Okay, lets go to the Great Hall."
"Right." James, Lily, Sirius, and Peter went off while Remus held Kellie off.
"I know it was Lily and you." Remus squeezed her hand. "You could have gotten hurt."
"Remus, you know I wouldn't have." She said.
"But, what if something went wrong and I scratched you or..."
"Shh..." Kellie said putting her finger over his lips, "You know it wouldn't have happened."
"But-"
"Lily and I wanted to help you. I love you." Kellie smiled shyly.
"I love you too." They kissed.
~*~*~
"That's so sweet." Lily said.
"What are they even talking about?" Sirius asked.
"Dosen't matter- they love each other." Lily said.
"Right. I'm hungry." Peter said.
"Me too, can we go?" Sirius asked.
"Food! Is that all you boys can think about?"
"Yes." The two boys said. (Sirius and Peter)
James gazed at Lily, unaware of what the three of them were talking about. She looked so perfect in every way.
"James!! Anyone in there?" Lily asked knocking on his head.
"What- huh? Did someone say food?" James said.
"BOYS!" Lily yelled and walked down to the Great Hall. Peter and Sirius snickered, as James looked dumbstruck.
~*~*~
Lily walked down to the lake. it was 6 o'clock and Lily had two hours to waste until quidditch training with Sirius and Jake. Lily sat down on a rock, gazing into the lake. It was so calm, not a thing going on. Truth be told, merpeople were down there and the giant squid. So actually. it was very active. But, from above it seemed so peaceful and calm. Lily heard someone someone walking towards her. They sat next to her on the rock, and put their hand on her shoulder. She looked at him, it was James.
"Hello, James." Lily said.
"Hello Lils..."
"What are you doing here?"
"Just looking for you."
"Really. Why would you be doing that?"
"Umm... I have to er, tell you something." Lily looked at her watch it was 7:57.
"Can it wait till later James? I really have to go. I'll be back around nine or ten." She kissed him on his cheek and ran off toward the pitch.
'I just kissed him!' Lily thought as she ran to the pitch. She got there and Sirius and Jake were already there. They did the same thing as they did the night before, only this time with two bludgers. Lily got through it all.
~*~*~
It was Saturday already, and there was a Quidditch game- Gryffindor verses Ravenclaw. Sirius and James went down to the locker room and got changed into their quidditch robes. Sirius and Lily had told Jake not to tell James. Sirius said it would be a pleasant surprise. Lily just rolled her eyes.
Lily woke up and got dressed to go to the game. Lily sat down next to Kellie. The game started and Remus was the announcer.
"Today we have Gryffindor verses Ravenclaw! On the Gryffindor team, Captain and beater Booker, Potter, Weasley, Dansfield, Sirius, Carson and Hendershot as Seeker! And on the Ravenclaw team we have Captain and Seeker Greenwalk, Morris, Harris, Johnson, Walker, Otopia, and Rosendew as Keeper! Madam Hootch blows the whistle and they are off! Gryffindor in possesion, Weasley, Potter, Dansfield, back to Potter, he shoots and scores! 10-0 Gryffindor. Greenwalk has seen the snitch!" Sirius looked at where Greenwalk was going and looked for a bludger, he found one and hit Jason in the head with it. Everyone gasped, as Jason fell down to the ground. Jason was carried by Kristen to the hospital wing and they put some third year in as seeker. The game started up again, and luckily Madam Hooch, nor anyone else knew that Sirius aimed it at Jason and not the chaser with the quaffel next to him.
"And Ravenclaw is in possesion. Morris, Harris, it's intercepted by Weasley!" The game was a fairly even game and in the end Gryffindor won 290- 150. Most people were celebrating in the Common room. Jake stood on a chair.
"Gryffindors, I would like your attention!" The Gryffindors all looked at him. "First off, I would like to congratulate Weasley and Potter for making so many goals today. You guys make the best team! Second off, I am having so much fun with these annoncements that I have decided to tell you all that in June, I would like you to try out for the Keeper and Seeker positions." Jake stole a glance at Lily, who pretended she was oblivious to the gesture. "Hope we have as good a team next year as we do this year. Our last and final game of the year is in two weeks, verses Slytherin." Jake got off and everyone resumed talking about who was going to try out. Jake, Sirius, Lily and James were talking on the couches when Kellie got there panting.
"Okay so the gossip is Mia, Sanders, Conwell, Leery are going to try out for seeker. And Peter, Walt, Kensburg are going for Keeper." Kellie said.
"Wow, a lot of people are going for seeker." Lily said out loud. James, Kellie and Remus looked at her eyebrows raised.
"Yep, but Sirius and I know who will make the team." Jake smiled.
"Really, who? Because out of them I would have to go with Leery." James stated.
"Well, of course." Sirius said, not to sound conspicious. Bill Weasley came over to them.
"Hey, you guys."
"Hey, Billy-boy." Sirius said. Bill was in his fourth year, a year younger then them. His father worked for the ministry, in muggle artifacts. Bill was one of the most popular boys in the fourth year and he was one wicked quidditch player.
"Stop calling me that, Serious Sirius." Bill smirked.
"Stop calling me that."
"Why? It's my only retort."
"Because."
"Because why?"
"Because I said so."
"Or is it because you will never be serious no matter what you do, and I will be able to taunt you about it for life?"
"Billy-boy, Billy-boy!"
"Serious Sirius, looks for himself in the night sky!"
"That was good!" Kellie said, high fiving Bill.
"Traitor!" Sirius yelled at Kellie.
"I care because?"
"I hate you."
"Since when haven't you?"
"I don't know. I'm just trying to pick a fight."
"Go get a punching bag." Lily stated.
"What the hell is that?" Sirius asked.
"It's a bag filled with foam and other material that muggles practice punching, and kicking on it."
"Why?"
"Hobby, and defence mechanism."
"Okay. Weird."
"Never mind." Lily sighed, lying her head on James shoulder. James put his hand around her shoulder.
"Right, a way to confuse me. I know what your evil plans are, Lily Evans! But no, oh no, you can't fool me!"
"Right, you have gone totally mad."
"You just figured that out, Lily?" Bill asked.
"Sadly, yes."
"Sad, Sad." Bill said, shaking his head. People were starting to clear out of the common room since it was getting late.
They now all sat in a circle going Lily, James, Sirius, Jake, Kellie, Remus, then Bill. (a/n: Since they are in a circle it means Bill and Lily are next to each other. They had a butterbeer can in the middle and they were asking each other questions.
"Who have you dreamed of ever having sex with?" Kellie asked Sirius.
"Kristen. She may be a professer but she is still so hot!" All the boys agreed. Remus got smacked upside the head.
"What? she's hot, but you see, you're sexier then anyone should legally be." Remus smiled and kissed her. Sirius spun the bottle and it landed on Lily.
"Lily, Lily, what to ask? Your middle name starts with a K, what is it?"
"I can't tell, it's awful!" Lily said.
"Oh, come on it can't be that bad."
"You have to guess."
"Kayla." James said, and got a smack from Jack in the back of his head.
"No."
"KiKi?" Sirius asked.
"No."
"Kerri." Kellie asked.
"No."
"Kendra?" Bill asked.
"No."
"Kenya?" James asked.
"No." Remus who had been quite this whole time, finally spoke up.
"It's easy- it has to be Kellie."
"Correct!"
"Hey!" Kellie yelled.
"Just playing Kellie, it's not awful, but it totally got them off track. Remus is too smart for his own good!"
"I will take that as compliment, thank you Lily." Lily smiled and spun the bottle.The bottle stopped on Bill.
"Bill, who do you have crush on?"
"Hmm, I guess it would be Natalie. Your year, a Ravenclaw."
"I have a project with her." James stated, "She is kinda pretty." Lily started concentrating more on the rug after he said that. 'Maybe he dosen't like me. I mean, why would he?' Bill spun the bottle and it landed on Remus.
"Remus, where do you go once a month- the truth." Remus' face went pale.
Kellie squeezed his hand. James and Sirius nodded that it was okay to tell him. Bill and Jake had been good friends with all of them since before Hogwarts. Lily was an exception, seeing as she was muggle-born.
"I'm a werewolf." Remus closed his eyes, scared to see their reaction.
"Wow." Jake said. "I had my own theories, but that one had never crossed my mind. You know, that's only one day every month. What's the big deal, Kellie and Lily aren't fun to talk to a week out of every month." Jake smirked.
"You laugh, you die." Kellie said, so the guys tried to stifle their laughter. Remus spun the bottle and it landed on Kellie.
"Kellie, love..."
"Oh god."
"What were you dreaming about last night?" Remus asked.
"Don't remember."
"That's a laugh. Next time you decide to have a sex dream about Remus, please sleep in the girls dormitory!" Kellie blushed the color of Lily's hair. Kellie span the bottle and it landed on James.
"Jamesie boy."
"Here it comes..."
"Who do you have a crush on?"
James said something so soft that none of them could hear.
"What? Sorry, couldn't hear you!"
"Lily." Lily smiled and blushed, as did James.
"Well that was productive! I'm tired. I'm going to sleep." Sirius said yawning.
"Me too." Bill said.
"I might as well, getting drowsy." Jake said. "Especially since someone moaning someone's name last night in the boys dorm kept me up all night. Kellie went redder (if possible) and headed to the girls dorm. Remus followed her.
"I can't believe you." Kellie stated.
"What, you talk in your sleep. I think it's cute." He shrugged.
"That's because you're my boyfriend."
"Correct, and I always will be." Remus kissed her neck, moving up to her lips.
~*~*~
"So..." Lily said.
"Do you erm, well you know, like me?"
"Yes."
"I mean it's okay if you don't."
"James."
"I don't want to pressure you, I just think your are really hot and you are so smart and nice and-" Lily gave up trying to tell him yes and instead just kissed him.
~*~*~
What they didn't know was that Sirius, Bill and Jake were all watching the scene.
"Quest finished." Sirius said.
"Finally, they got together and James was the blubbering fool the whole time." Jake said.
"If only that would work on Natalie." Bill said.
"You can hope." Jake said patting him on the back.
"So what is with you and Kayla?" Sirius asked.
"Broke up yeterday."
"Oh, her loss." Sirius said. "Guess so." Jake said. "No, we know so." Bill smiled. Bill went into the fourth year dorm room and Jake and Sirius entered the Fifth year one.
~*~*~

"Sirius has the worst timing!" James thought. "I have to go get dressed, be back in a couple minutes." James said and ran up to the boys' dormitory.
"So, Lily! Trying to get a snog in before classes? Tut-tut." Sirius said, shaking his head.
"Grow up, we were not snogging." Lily retorted.
"Sure!" Lily just rolled her eyes. Kellie walked down the boys' dormitory stairway.
"Kellie, you slept up there again?" Lily asked, with an amused face.
"Umm, no. I well, you see... Remus needed help with his astronomy homework and well, I helped him!"
"Right, so that was why you weren't in the girls' dorm at all last night?"
"Umm... yes!"
"Why are you wearing, Remus' shirt?" Sirius asked with a smirk.
"Well, umm. I don't have an answer for that." Kellie blushed and the others snickered. Kellie went upstairs and got changed into her school robes. Remus, James, and Kellie, miraculously came down at the same time. They went to the Great Hall. Meanwhile Mia, Ashley and Bella were talking.
"You know, it's a good thing that I heard about Sirius cheating on you." Mia said, back facing Bella.
"Right, your absolutely sure it was Sirius with Chrissy, right?" Bella said, biting her lip.
"I'm absolutely positive, umm...Bella, I heard two people talking behind your back last night." Mia said looking at Bella shyly.
"Who?" Bella asked.
"Well, it was a umm... Lily and Kellie. They said you were a bitch, and a slut and they've just aways pretended to be your friends."
"What?! Those bitches!" Bella was outraged.
"Listen, Bella. Ashley and I, we are your true friends. We would never dream of stabbing you in the back." Mia turned around and mouthed "Sike!" Mia, Bella and Ashley walked down to the Great Hall, on the other side of the table- away from the Marauders and Co. The Marauders and Co. went to their first class- Transfiguration.
Kellie and Remus sat in front, then Sirius and Peter, and then James and Lily. Proffesser McGonagall was just dronning on about animangi, which everyone knew about. Ever since Lily found out about Remus, she and Kellie had begun studying about it. They decided awhile ago they wanted to become animangi. They might be able to transform tomorrow.
James noticed Lily had a far-off look in her eyes. James wondered what she was thinking about. 'Maybe she's thinking about our almost-kiss.' he thought hopefully. 'She looks as beautiful as ever.' he thought. 'If only I could get her alone for just a minute and kiss her, run my hand through her hair.' James snapped out of his dream when class was dismissed.
Later in the common room...
Sirius had just left five minutes ago to go onto the pitch and think. It had just struck 8 o'clock. Lily got up.
"I have to go do something I'll be back around 9 or 10." She said quickly and ran out the common room and onto the pitch.
"Hello Lily, and I thought you might have forgotton." Sirius said hovering over her.
"Oh, no Sirius. I am here, so what do you want me to do?"
"Well you see, Charles and Ty are graduating this year so we have two positions open next year- Seeker and Keeper."
"Okay."
"So I am going to try to teach you both of those positions."
"No broom." "Lily, Lily you worry way too much." Sirius went into the equipment room and got a broom and the balls. "How about we start with seeker- much more safer."
"Safer, the seeker is safer!?"
"Okay, not totally; but we've got to start somewhere!"
"Whatever you say." Sirius showed Lily how to mount onto the broom, showed her how to steer it, and how to have total control over it. Lily grasped it all pretty quick, but Lily was always good at learning things. She had watched literally every quidditch game that had been held at Hogwarts since first year. Sirius took out the golden snitch and let it go. Lily waited a few minutes and let it fly off. Then she went looking for it. She went up about twenty feet into the air and hovered there. She spotted it near the Ravenclaw seats and shot full speed to it. She was gaining on it and reached out her hand. She grabbed it! She caught the golden snitch!
Sirius was amazed. No one he had ever seen could fly like that their first time, or catch a snitch like that. Lily went over to Sirius and handed him the snitch.
"Lils, that was remarkable!"
"Thanks."
"It really was." said a shadowed figure from the dark. He stepped into the light and they saw it was Jack Booker, the Gryffindor capiton.
"Thanks, Jack." Lily smiled.
"No problem. You are trying out next year, right?"
"Yes, she is." Sirius answered.
"Great! If you can fly like that on a school broom, there is no telling how good you'll be on a designer broom. See you tommorrow during practice, Sirius."
"See you, Jack! Told you, you'd be awesome, Lils." Sirius put the broom and balls away. Sirius and Lily walked into the common room, where they saw James, pacing.
"Do you two know what time it is?" James said, arms folded.
"Umm, no sir." Sirius saluted.
"10:30! I've been worried about you two for the last thirty minutes!"
"James, why were you so worried?" Lily asked.
"Well, you see, umm...there, er."
"I think what he is trying to say is that he LLLLOOOOVVVVEEEESSSS YOU!" Sirius said and ran up into the boys' dorm. James followed in suit. Lily just shook her head and muttered "boys..."
~*~*~ [James woke up the next morning, and walked downstairs to see Lily on the couch in her school robes. She looked up at him and smiled.
"Hello, James."
"Hello, Lily."
"How are you?" Lily asked getting up and walking towards him. Her red hair flowed on her shoulders.
"Good." Lily was now very close to him, her hands on his shoulders. James lifted his hand underneath her neck and pulled her to him. They shared a passionate kiss.]
"JAMES!" Sirius yelled at him. James bolted up and his head hit Sirius' chin. "OWWW!" they said at the same time.
"James we have to go down to the great hall- the girls are waiting."
"Okay." James sighed
"James, are you okay?"
"Umm.. yea why?"
"You well, kinda, said someone's name. Actually, more like moaned it."
"Oh..."
"You were dreaming of Lily, eh?"
"Yes." James said taking off his shirt and getting changed into his school clothing.
"Sex?"
"No!"
"That would have been such good blackmail too!"
"Right, umm, don't tell her."
"But-"
"No."
"She-"
"No."
"Might-"
"No."
"Like-"
"No."
"You!"
"NO!"
"Fine, party pooper!" Sirius mocked, glared at him, and walked downstairs. James then walked downstairs, where everyone was waiting. Sirius and Lily were talking to Jack. Kellie and Remus were talking to each other and Mia, Ashley and Bella were talking on the other side of the common room. James walked over to where Lily, Sirius and Jack were.
"Hey, guys."
"Hello, James." Lily said and smiled.
"Hey, James." Jack said.
"What were you guys talking about?" James asked.
"Oh you know this and that. I got to go meet up with Kayla. See you guys later." Jack said and ran out of the common room. So, what were you guys talking about?" James asked, eyebrows raised.
"Nothing." Lily answered.
"I'm hungry. Yo, Romeo and Juliet, you guys want to go down to breakfast?" Sirius asked Kellie and Remus, who were kissing at the time. They turned to him.
"Okay." They said at the same time.
~*~*~
Later in Astronomy, Kristen was explaining about the constellation Orion.
"Kellie, what is the Lambda star in the constellation of Orion?" Kristen asked.
"Meissa."
"Correct. Remus, the Beta star please."
"Rigel."
"Correct. Natalie, the Gamma star please."
"Bellatrix."
"What? Did someone say my name?" Bellatrix looked up from her gossiping friends.
"They did say your name, but they were not addressing you." Kristen smiled.
"Why did they say my name?"
"Because we are studing your cousin's middle name." Kristen smiled.
"Hey!" Sirius shouted.
"Calm, down. Anyhow, as I was saying, you will be having an report about one of the six constellations out this month. Your choices for those who don't know" she paused, glancing at Bellatrix and her friends. "are Caelum, Dorado, Mensa, Orion, Reticulum, and Taurus. It's due Februrary 21. I will be picking groups randomly. Kristen summoned a hat and she dumped pieces of paper into them. She shook the hat up and drew a piece.
"Kellie and Bellatrix. James and Natalie, Sirius and Lucius, Remus and Alexa..." Kristen went on until everyone had a partner. The bell rang and eveyone left, heading to the Library.
"I can't believe I was put with that bitch." Kellie said, glaring at a book.
"You can't believe she's your partner? Well, I've got Lucius. How do you think I feel?" Sirius exclaimed.
"You two, calm down." Remus said doing some of Binns' homework.
Bellatrix and Lucius entered the Library. Bellatrix sat down next to Kellie.
"You're smart. You do the project- not on Orion." Kellie put one hand behind her back and crossed her fingers.
"Of course." Kellie said politely. The boys raised their eyebrows at her. Lucious and Sirius were in a staring contest.
"You do it!" Lucius shouted.
"No way!" Sirius yelled back.
"Shut up! You both do it!" Kellie yelled.
"Fine." They both mutered. They flipped through the pages harshly, as if trying to take their anger out on the book pages.
"Were doing Taurus, Black."
"Whatever, Blondie."
"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?" Lucius raged.
"THE BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP, OR YOU'RE BOTH GOING TO BE IN THE HOSPITAL WING FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR!!!!!" Kellie screamed. Kellie was not one to ever yelled at anyone, so everyone turned and looked at her.
Sirius and Lucius, gazed at her wide-eyed, slowly backed away, and sat down. They all did their work until 8 o'clock, when Sirius said he had to do something.Sirius ran down to the quiddditch pitch where Lily and Jake were.
"About time, Sirius." Jake said.
"Yeah, I know." Jake and Sirius were both beaters so they decided that it would be good to see if Lily could dodge bludgers while trying to catch the snitch.
"Your muggle born, so it's basically like dodgeball, only you could well, go unconcious if you don't dodge it." Jake said simply.
"Whats dodgeball?" Sirius asked, thoroughly confused.
"Muggle game." Jake and Lily said at the same time.
"Okay, then." Lily mounted onto her broom and flew up. The boys took one bludger out and each of them hovered on one side of the field. They aimed the bludger at Lily. Lily avoided them very well, only getting knocked off once. She also managed to catch the snitch. The day faded into night and they all headed to the Gryffindor common room. Kellie, Remus, and James were doing some homework.
"Eh, Kellie why did you agree to do all the work for the Astronomy report?" Sirius asked. The others looked at her, waiting for her reply.
"Well, you see, if you pay any attention in class, you would know that
"Kristen also wants us to go up and do an oral report."
"She said that?" James asked.
"No, but she wrote it on the board."
"No one except you reads the board." Sirius said.
"I know. If you read it, though, you must state which one of you will be reading the oral presentation. The other one presents some pictures and things like that. Bellatrix is going to be reading the oral presentation on Orion."
~*~*~
"Do you think we can do this, Lily?" Kellie asked, looking at the potion in front of her.
"Yes, I do."
"But, it's illegal."
"Yes."
"You know, we could get in loads of trouble if we get caught."
"Yep."
"What if..."
"Just drink!" Lily yelled, clearly getting annoyed.
"Okay, lets see how about a cat- black fur." Kellie drank it and became a cat with black fur, and white fur around the paws.
"Okay, now just think about turning back into yourself." Kellie transformed into herself again.
"Great- now me." Lily thought really hard about what she wanted to be-, a fox. Lily transformed into a red-haired fox. They turned back into their animangi form, and left for the Whomping Willow. Kellie (in cat form), pressed the knot and walked in, the fox following not too far behind.
They saw the boys and joined them. The girls left before the boys left and gave each other nicknames. Lily's name was Vixen and Kellie's Boots. The girlsgot dressed and walked into the common room where the boys were just coming in.
"Hello, boys." Lily said happily.
"Hello, Lily." James said smiling at her. Remus sat down on the couch next to Kellie. Kellie put her arm around him, playing with his hair. Sirius coughed something that sounded like "Lovesick".
"So, what's up?" Lily asked.
"There were these two other animals that came down, and I don't know how." Sirius scratched his head.
"They were girls." Remus answered. Everyone looked at him. "The day before the full moon, the full moon, and the day after people have different smells." He took a meaningful glance at Lily and Kellie.
"Gender or people?"James asked.
"Both."
"Really, could you recognize them?"
"No, not really." Remus lied.
"Okay, lets go to the Great Hall."
"Right." James, Lily, Sirius, and Peter went off while Remus held Kellie off.
"I know it was Lily and you." Remus squeezed her hand. "You could have gotten hurt."
"Remus, you know I wouldn't have." She said.
"But, what if something went wrong and I scratched you or..."
"Shh..." Kellie said putting her finger over his lips, "You know it wouldn't have happened."
"But-"
"Lily and I wanted to help you. I love you." Kellie smiled shyly.
"I love you too." They kissed.
~*~*~
"That's so sweet." Lily said.
"What are they even talking about?" Sirius asked.
"Dosen't matter- they love each other." Lily said.
"Right. I'm hungry." Peter said.
"Me too, can we go?" Sirius asked.
"Food! Is that all you boys can think about?"
"Yes." The two boys said. (Sirius and Peter)
James gazed at Lily, unaware of what the three of them were talking about. She looked so perfect in every way.
"James!! Anyone in there?" Lily asked knocking on his head.
"What- huh? Did someone say food?" James said.
"BOYS!" Lily yelled and walked down to the Great Hall. Peter and Sirius snickered, as James looked dumbstruck.
~*~*~
Lily walked down to the lake. it was 6 o'clock and Lily had two hours to waste until quidditch training with Sirius and Jake. Lily sat down on a rock, gazing into the lake. It was so calm, not a thing going on. Truth be told, merpeople were down there and the giant squid. So actually. it was very active. But, from above it seemed so peaceful and calm. Lily heard someone someone walking towards her. They sat next to her on the rock, and put their hand on her shoulder. She looked at him, it was James.
"Hello, James." Lily said.
"Hello Lils..."
"What are you doing here?"
"Just looking for you."
"Really. Why would you be doing that?"
"Umm... I have to er, tell you something." Lily looked at her watch it was 7:57.
"Can it wait till later James? I really have to go. I'll be back around nine or ten." She kissed him on his cheek and ran off toward the pitch.
'I just kissed him!' Lily thought as she ran to the pitch. She got there and Sirius and Jake were already there. They did the same thing as they did the night before, only this time with two bludgers. Lily got through it all.
~*~*~
It was Saturday already, and there was a Quidditch game- Gryffindor verses Ravenclaw. Sirius and James went down to the locker room and got changed into their quidditch robes. Sirius and Lily had told Jake not to tell James. Sirius said it would be a pleasant surprise. Lily just rolled her eyes.
Lily woke up and got dressed to go to the game. Lily sat down next to Kellie. The game started and Remus was the announcer.
"Today we have Gryffindor verses Ravenclaw! On the Gryffindor team, Captain and beater Booker, Potter, Weasley, Dansfield, Sirius, Carson and Hendershot as Seeker! And on the Ravenclaw team we have Captain and Seeker Greenwalk, Morris, Harris, Johnson, Walker, Otopia, and Rosendew as Keeper! Madam Hootch blows the whistle and they are off! Gryffindor in possesion, Weasley, Potter, Dansfield, back to Potter, he shoots and scores! 10-0 Gryffindor. Greenwalk has seen the snitch!" Sirius looked at where Greenwalk was going and looked for a bludger, he found one and hit Jason in the head with it. Everyone gasped, as Jason fell down to the ground. Jason was carried by Kristen to the hospital wing and they put some third year in as seeker. The game started up again, and luckily Madam Hooch, nor anyone else knew that Sirius aimed it at Jason and not the chaser with the quaffel next to him.
"And Ravenclaw is in possesion. Morris, Harris, it's intercepted by Weasley!" The game was a fairly even game and in the end Gryffindor won 290- 150. Most people were celebrating in the Common room. Jake stood on a chair.
"Gryffindors, I would like your attention!" The Gryffindors all looked at him. "First off, I would like to congratulate Weasley and Potter for making so many goals today. You guys make the best team! Second off, I am having so much fun with these annoncements that I have decided to tell you all that in June, I would like you to try out for the Keeper and Seeker positions." Jake stole a glance at Lily, who pretended she was oblivious to the gesture. "Hope we have as good a team next year as we do this year. Our last and final game of the year is in two weeks, verses Slytherin." Jake got off and everyone resumed talking about who was going to try out. Jake, Sirius, Lily and James were talking on the couches when Kellie got there panting.
"Okay so the gossip is Mia, Sanders, Conwell, Leery are going to try out for seeker. And Peter, Walt, Kensburg are going for Keeper." Kellie said.
"Wow, a lot of people are going for seeker." Lily said out loud. James, Kellie and Remus looked at her eyebrows raised.
"Yep, but Sirius and I know who will make the team." Jake smiled.
"Really, who? Because out of them I would have to go with Leery." James stated.
"Well, of course." Sirius said, not to sound conspicious. Bill Weasley came over to them.
"Hey, you guys."
"Hey, Billy-boy." Sirius said. Bill was in his fourth year, a year younger then them. His father worked for the ministry, in muggle artifacts. Bill was one of the most popular boys in the fourth year and he was one wicked quidditch player.
"Stop calling me that, Serious Sirius." Bill smirked.
"Stop calling me that."
"Why? It's my only retort."
"Because."
"Because why?"
"Because I said so."
"Or is it because you will never be serious no matter what you do, and I will be able to taunt you about it for life?"
"Billy-boy, Billy-boy!"
"Serious Sirius, looks for himself in the night sky!"
"That was good!" Kellie said, high fiving Bill.
"Traitor!" Sirius yelled at Kellie.
"I care because?"
"I hate you."
"Since when haven't you?"
"I don't know. I'm just trying to pick a fight."
"Go get a punching bag." Lily stated.
"What the hell is that?" Sirius asked.
"It's a bag filled with foam and other material that muggles practice punching, and kicking on it."
"Why?"
"Hobby, and defence mechanism."
"Okay. Weird."
"Never mind." Lily sighed, lying her head on James shoulder. James put his hand around her shoulder.
"Right, a way to confuse me. I know what your evil plans are, Lily Evans! But no, oh no, you can't fool me!"
"Right, you have gone totally mad."
"You just figured that out, Lily?" Bill asked.
"Sadly, yes."
"Sad, Sad." Bill said, shaking his head. People were starting to clear out of the common room since it was getting late.
They now all sat in a circle going Lily, James, Sirius, Jake, Kellie, Remus, then Bill. (a/n: Since they are in a circle it means Bill and Lily are next to each other. They had a butterbeer can in the middle and they were asking each other questions.
"Who have you dreamed of ever having sex with?" Kellie asked Sirius.
"Kristen. She may be a professer but she is still so hot!" All the boys agreed. Remus got smacked upside the head.
"What? she's hot, but you see, you're sexier then anyone should legally be." Remus smiled and kissed her. Sirius spun the bottle and it landed on Lily.
"Lily, Lily, what to ask? Your middle name starts with a K, what is it?"
"I can't tell, it's awful!" Lily said.
"Oh, come on it can't be that bad."
"You have to guess."
"Kayla." James said, and got a smack from Jack in the back of his head.
"No."
"KiKi?" Sirius asked.
"No."
"Kerri." Kellie asked.
"No."
"Kendra?" Bill asked.
"No."
"Kenya?" James asked.
"No." Remus who had been quite this whole time, finally spoke up.
"It's easy- it has to be Kellie."
"Correct!"
"Hey!" Kellie yelled.
"Just playing Kellie, it's not awful, but it totally got them off track. Remus is too smart for his own good!"
"I will take that as compliment, thank you Lily." Lily smiled and spun the bottle.The bottle stopped on Bill.
"Bill, who do you have crush on?"
"Hmm, I guess it would be Natalie. Your year, a Ravenclaw."
"I have a project with her." James stated, "She is kinda pretty." Lily started concentrating more on the rug after he said that. 'Maybe he dosen't like me. I mean, why would he?' Bill spun the bottle and it landed on Remus.
"Remus, where do you go once a month- the truth." Remus' face went pale.
Kellie squeezed his hand. James and Sirius nodded that it was okay to tell him. Bill and Jake had been good friends with all of them since before Hogwarts. Lily was an exception, seeing as she was muggle-born.
"I'm a werewolf." Remus closed his eyes, scared to see their reaction.
"Wow." Jake said. "I had my own theories, but that one had never crossed my mind. You know, that's only one day every month. What's the big deal, Kellie and Lily aren't fun to talk to a week out of every month." Jake smirked.
"You laugh, you die." Kellie said, so the guys tried to stifle their laughter. Remus spun the bottle and it landed on Kellie.
"Kellie, love..."
"Oh god."
"What were you dreaming about last night?" Remus asked.
"Don't remember."
"That's a laugh. Next time you decide to have a sex dream about Remus, please sleep in the girls dormitory!" Kellie blushed the color of Lily's hair. Kellie span the bottle and it landed on James.
"Jamesie boy."
"Here it comes..."
"Who do you have a crush on?"
James said something so soft that none of them could hear.
"What? Sorry, couldn't hear you!"
"Lily." Lily smiled and blushed, as did James.
"Well that was productive! I'm tired. I'm going to sleep." Sirius said yawning.
"Me too." Bill said.
"I might as well, getting drowsy." Jake said. "Especially since someone moaning someone's name last night in the boys dorm kept me up all night. Kellie went redder (if possible) and headed to the girls dorm. Remus followed her.
"I can't believe you." Kellie stated.
"What, you talk in your sleep. I think it's cute." He shrugged.
"That's because you're my boyfriend."
"Correct, and I always will be." Remus kissed her neck, moving up to her lips.
~*~*~
"So..." Lily said.
"Do you erm, well you know, like me?"
"Yes."
"I mean it's okay if you don't."
"James."
"I don't want to pressure you, I just think your are really hot and you are so smart and nice and-" Lily gave up trying to tell him yes and instead just kissed him.
~*~*~
What they didn't know was that Sirius, Bill and Jake were all watching the scene.
"Quest finished." Sirius said.
"Finally, they got together and James was the blubbering fool the whole time." Jake said.
"If only that would work on Natalie." Bill said.
"You can hope." Jake said patting him on the back.
"So what is with you and Kayla?" Sirius asked.
"Broke up yeterday."
"Oh, her loss." Sirius said. "Guess so." Jake said. "No, we know so." Bill smiled. Bill went into the fourth year dorm room and Jake and Sirius entered the Fifth year one.
