Lilies Aren't Roses
Chapter four
"Lily! What is wrong with you?" Asked Elsa. She and Danielle had managed to drag her outside and away from the table where she had been making a complete fool of herself.
"What are you talking about?" inquired Lily, who was now skipping in a circle at the side of the lake.
"You're all of a sudden acting like James is the most wonderful person in the world." Exclaimed Danielle.
"Well he is!" protested Lily. "Why do you say 'all of a sudden?' I have always thought James was wonderful!"
"LILY! HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND? YOU HAVE HATED HIM FOR FIVE YEARS!" screeched Elsa.
"Friendly spats between lovers." Said Lily unfazed. Both of her friends looked at each other with shocked looks on their faces. Lily wandered off to sit beneath a tree and carve 'Lily and James Forever' in the ground with a stick while humming 'We're off to see the Wizard' under her breath.
"Friendly spats between lovers? Something horrible has happened! We have got to get to the bottom of this, before Lily does something she regrets!" said Elsa, glancing behind her, she saw that the red head was now staring off into space with a dreamy look on her face.
"Come on! Let's get to the Library and do some research. We've got to find out what's wrong with her!"
Sirius Black ran, sprinted, to the Library as soon as he could after Lily had swallowed the potion. He ran strait to the Potion Section, toward the back. He hurriedly scanned the shelves until finding the one he wanted. Side Effects of Common Draughts by Sir Marcus Museworth. He flipped until he found 'Like Potions' and read:
..The Like Potion, much like the Love Potion, has very few side effects, however the ones it can have can be severe. Metamorphagus's should never use the potion as it will corrupt their changes, only allowing them to have pink hair and red eyes for at least a week, no matter how they change. Also, in unlikely occurrences, people with green eyes have been known to be extremely sensitive to the potion. To those with this rare ailment, the potion will act as one for love, thus making illegal.
Sirius froze. Lily had brilliant green eyes! *The potion will act as one for love. Lily is one of these rare cases! She's now in love with James!* Lily and James would kill him if they found out. Lily for being forced to love James and James would think he was trying to make Lily hate him even more!
He had to find a solution to this, and quickly. Suddenly he heard voices coming from the entrance that could not be mistaken. Elsa and Danielle! He tried to shuffle away quietly with the book, when-
"Black! What're you doing in here?"
"Doing my homework?" he asked weakly.
"Of course you're not!" answered Danielle. "You haven't studied since third year!"
"What's that you've got?" Elsa inquired, pointing to Side Effects of Common Draughts in his hand.
"Potions Extra Credit?"
"Don't be stupid." Both females said. Danielle jerked the book out of his hand, and looked at the page on Like Potions. Her eyes widened as she read.
"Black, did you give Lily a Like Potion so she would be friends with James?" she asked faintly.
"Possibly?" He said.
"And, you didn't read up on the side effects to see if the potion to see if it had any side effects." Said Elsa.
"Maybe?"
And Lily is one of these special cases, so now she is in love with James instead of just liking him as a friend?"
"It wouldn't be in the farthest possible reaches of the imagination."
"Black, how stupid could you be?" Danielle asked softly. Sirius had been bracing himself for the blow and was shocked when it didn't come.
"Alright.we've got to get her back to normal. Just give us the antidote now, and we'll figure out what to do about *you* later.
"Idonthaveit." He muttered.
"What?"
He took a deep breath. "I- I don't have it."
"WHAT!?"
"The antidote was the Disliking Potion. I used it last year in a prank on Snape." Both girls looked blankly at him. Then Elsa spoke:
"You will just have to get another."
"And where am I going to find a Like Potion Antidote in this castle?"
Danielle cut in. "First of all, you will need a Love Potion Antidote, because the potion has backfired to be one for that. Second: as to where you will get it? Professor Zela's private stash."
Sirius gulped. Professor Zela was the very nasty Potions professor who protected her stash well. "But- But-"
"Not buts. And get it by tonight."
"Why!?"
"If you don't, we'll tell James that this was a prank to get Lily to hate him even more." Said Elsa crisply.
"And I don't think he'd take it well." Turning, both girls marched out of the Library to Lily before the red head did anything too rash.
Sirius watched them go. *I have really gotten myself into trouble this time! If I steal James' cloak to get the antidote, he might be mad. But- if he thinks this was a prank to make Lily hate him, it'll be worse. I'll take the cloak.* He hurried off towards Gryffindor Tower.
AN: good? Bad? The next chapter will be about James, Peter, Remus and Lily when they run into her while the others are in the Library. Starring a very happy and lovesick lily!
Tribal Leader: I am planning a run in with your character and lily in the next chapter!! A snotty slytherin! (hope that's okay)
Senna2: glad you liked it!
Algoechen: the 3rd chapter's better, I agree! I hope you liked this one!
Sexysaxist: thanx!!!!!
I LUV MY REVIEWERS! MORE COMING SOON!! (I promise)
