The first thing Lily did when they came into the fresh air of the castle was go into the nearest girl's lavatory and vomited whatever she had for dinner into the tiolet. The smell of death stuck on her clothes and her face hands and robes were covered in filth. She starred into the mirror her face pale like chalk her eyes the only colorful thing on her face, round and wise as green saucers.
She couldn't believe what happened. She had found a dead body. She didn;t know how she had did it but something pulled her to it. Lily flipped the faucet to the sink on, and furiously began washing her hands, cleaning them off roughly. That voice, it spoke to her three times. It was leading her to the closet. It was teasing her til she got to where it had wanted her.
She sighed the smell of soap reaching her nostrils and quietly dried her hands on a towel. Maybe she should just stop thinking altogether. Be blank. Lots better. She sighed finally leaving the bathroom. James left to go see Professor Mcgonnagall and she was told to stay put. She waited, quietly starring down at her feet. Her stomach suddenley began to heave at the sight of her feet, and she shot her head back up looking striaght ahead.
"Oh, poor dear. You look horrid. What in the world happened to you, child?" one of the paintings left of her questioned. Lily looked up to the friendly eyes of a young middle aged woman from the early 1800's dressed in a big poofy skirt. "Something that no one will believe" Lily whispered in reply and quietly turned the corner.
Professor McGonnagall starred at Lily and James in her cap and pajamas. "Ms.Evans. Mr.Potter." she whispered in greeting and James and Lily lead her down to the dugeon.
***
"Oh my god, Oh my god, Oh my god" Lily repeated over and over as she and James were escorted back to their common rooms. James watched Lily's shock and breathed deeply sticking his hands in his pockets. He was just as shocked as she was, maybe even more. It was hard to comprehend excatly what he and the Ice Queen had found.
... or more of 'who' they found...
Almost as if he was sleepwalking James called upon Professor Mcgonnagall, who inturn seemed shocked to see him. He pulled her out of bed with urgency and practically dragged her to the dugeon. He and a heistate Lily showed her the trap door which even the Professor seemed a bit shocked about.
And then when they showed her the closet.... she defainately was abit shocked about that too.She got even into a worser state when she saw the body. She called the Headmaster Dumbledore and the other teachers in a heartbeat and told the two 6th years to help her with the door. Lily pratically fainted and James was on the verge of suffocation when they actually saw who it was.
"Professor Hatch" Professor McGonagall whispered in themost morbid tone James had ever heard her use, and Lily finally cracked into tears. So... thats where the Potions Professor was.
The 2 were dragged away in a instant by the Head Boy and here they were, with the worst piece of news possible. "Evans, come on, relax" James croaked as Lily repeated her 46th 'Oh my gosh'. Lily shot him a look.
"Relax?" she questioned trembling. "Relax?! We just found our Potions teacher dead! Mudered most likely! And I don't know how but I knew excatly where he was! Excatly where he was, Potter. Excatly. I don't know about you, but I'm not quite sure if I can get into the state of relaxtion!!!" she hissed roughly her voice high and squeaky when they approached the Fat Lady.
They both said the password and the Head Boy left them. Only a few students were still up studying and what not but there eyes curiously flew straight to the dingy and dirty Gryffindor students. "Wow, that must have been some detention" Sirius whistled, coming up to James, giving him a sharp knudge on his elbow. James turned to his friend, his face sullen.
"We need to talk" he said simply and just that simple notion sent Sirius into shivers.
Lily left without a goodbye, heading up to the girl's corridor. James watched her leave and pulled Sirius to the side. He wouldn't also mind having Remus and Peter along but Remus was probably at a study session and Peter was no doubt, asleep, early as usual.
"He's dead" he whispered furiously as they came to two empty armchairs abit far from the group of late night students. Sirius frowned. "Who?!"
"Professor Hatch. Me and Evans... we were both... just walking from out detention and - - -"
"Wait! Professor Hatch... he's dead?! What in the bloody world happened?" Sirius face paled, in complete and utter shock. James sighed, shaking his head. "I... I don't know. Don't know how, I don't know when, and I'm not quite sure why. He was murdered, Sirius! He was shoved into a closet in a hidden room, dead!" and with that vital piece of information he went on explaining all the foriegn and unknown pieces he had that created the spooky detention held that night.
It took James a good hour to tell him. "It was so weird... it was like.... she knew excatly where these hidden doors were. It was so... just uneasy, you know?" Sirius listened with fascination at James's story. They sat in silence for a few minutes. "You think she killed him?" the schoolmate of the raven haired boy questioned his thoughts.
James blinked, his eyes grazing the clean carpet of the floor of the Gryffindor common room. "I don't know. It's just.... no, I don't think so. Or if she did, she wasn't in her right mind. I mean when she was looking for the doors, it was like she changed into a whole different person" he shook his head starring at the fireplace a few feet away from them. The flames hungrily ate the wood at the base of it and jumped merrily with a care in the world.
"Lily Evans is one creepy girl" James admitted as he pulled himself up. Sirius grinned cheekily, trying to find some amusement in the odd situation. "Awe, c'mon, she isn't that bad. You have to admit she's hot. Soft red hair, big green eyes, pale smooth ---" but he didnt finish his sentence because his buddy socked him against the head, both of them heading lazily back up to the boys dormitory. "Your sick, Sirius. Sick, sick, sick" James muttured sleepily.
Sirius chuckled but the small good huhmour did not hide the obvious. Professor Hatch was murdered.
***
"I'm afraid to say that classes are canceled today" A wise and old Headmaster Dumbledore announced during breakfast. Lily instantly dropped her forkm giving him her full ateention. Personally the young girl favored her headmaster. He was kind and giving, and willing to help anybody whether House or age. He had always been a good friend.
Lily waited for more news patiently, but the Headmaster sat down delicately in his seat, without further words. Lily blinked starring back at her food. Oh. Of course. The reason they weren't having classes was because her potions master was dead. She sighed closing her eyes. She looked considerably better then yesterday all the dirt and dust cleaned off her red hair in two next ponytails. Her eyes were red rimmed though, and her nose as puffy as a cherry.
The minute she got back into the common room she took a 2 hour shower and went to sleep instantly. And she truly didn't want to wake up. Never. Sleeping Beauty didn't know how lucky she had it. "Did you hear that, Lily? A day off!" Cicily stated merrily in the seat next to her. The little girl had barely noticed the crying symptoms but she knew Clem was suspecting. Lily was trying desperately to avoid her.
The last thing she wanted to do was spill all of her adventure with Mr.Potter to Clem that involved finding Professor Hatch dead in a hidden closet. No, No. Uh Uh. Don't think so. "Great!" Lily replied with false cheerfullness as she reached for her 4th biscuit. She had the hole the size of a bucket in her stomach and she was trying hopelessly to fill it.
"I still can't find any information on Unia, nor whatever it was in the forest. It's driving me crazy" Lily grumbled, as Cicily sighed and took a swallow of orange juice. "Me too. So, how was detention?" Lily practically choked on the biscuit coughing roughly and rapidly. "Oh, Oh! Drink!" thel ittle girl exclaimed handing her friend the glass of juice and Lily gulped it down carefully and greatfully.
"Oh, gosh! What happened?" Lily breathed quietly filling herself in and out with oxygen. "Wrong Tube" she rasped clearly embrassed starring down evilly at the biscuit. "No kidding... Thought I lost you for a minute. So how was---?"
"So, should we got to the library now? Before it gets so crowded you know? We'll never get a table" Lily abruptly pulled off the long bench at the table grabbing her bag off the floor quickly. Cicily frowned stopped the second time from getting a answer from Lily. "Oh. Good thinking! Alright let's go" she shurgged the obvious off and pulled her own bag around her shoulders.
Lily sighed relief flooding into her system. To close. Yeah, Cicily was nice and all but there was no way Lily was 'fessing. Not now, and hopefully not ever. "C'mon, then! I hope we can find something today!" she grinned falsely. Blah. False Cheerfulness. Who needs it???
***
"James!" a high pitched voice exclaimed and he was instantly hit.
"Ugh... g'morning, Lady" James greeted his girlfriend, groggily. He and Sirius ended up staying up til about three in the morning last night, talking and even after that James still couldn't sleep without seeing a despicable pair of feet out a door. Thank god for no classes. He'd end up napping in all. Not like it was his first time though... His parents were right. He was to smart for his own good.
"Hey. Did you hear? No classes today! Looks like one of the Professor's are sick again" Lady chatted smoothly squishing herself in between Remus and James at the breakfast table. James perked up at the one comment as Lady rattled on. He hadn't clicked two and two together. No classes because of missing Professor. The dead missing Professor.
James regretted every mean thing he'd ever done to that old Professor Hatch. Didn't quite deserve to croak like that. James peeked up at Lady who was still miracously talking about her first three hours of the day with a loud clarity. Her brown curls bounced optimisticly and her clear lue eyes seemed more cheerful then usual. Something was up.
After a few more minutes of chatting (or more like Lady just talking to herself), James finished his breakfast and pulled himself up from the table. "Well, see you guys later" he said to the Mauraders and the girls. "Oh wait, James, I want to talk to you" Lady giggled pulling herself up after him, clutching to something under her robe. James frowned, puzzled, as she took his elbow and lead him to the doorway to the Great Hall. Something was definately up.
Lady's eyes twinkled merrily as they hid in a small corner at the doorway. "Lady I'm alittle bit..."
"Happy Anniversary, James!!!" Lady erupted giggling as she pulled out a tightly wrapped box with flying snith paper. Oh shit. Shit, shit, shit. James felt his eyebrows scrunch in confusion and shock. Anniversary? Anniversary of excatly what? Three weeks dating? He took the package carefully into his grasp his mind reeling. Oy, not good, not good at all. Freackin Anniversary. Since when?
"Um... oh, thank you, Lady" he finally managed clumsily hid mind still trying to grasp the situation tightly. Lady grinned looking down at it. "You'll love it" she insisted her eyes twinkling, her hands twitching gently around her rop in a sort of hiestance. "At least, I hope so" she gave another nervous giggle. James watched her fidget and quietly shunned himself.
He had to think quick. He didn't even know there was an Anniversary today and Lady had given him a present and he had none for her. Think quick, Potter, your digging yourself in a hole. He felt immensely guilty as the sparkle slowly started to die out of the young girl's eyes. Suddenly the idea came so quickly, that it had even shocked him.
His lips curled in what he had hoped wa sa very secertive and sexy smile. He leaned forward til he was practically kissing her ear. "Check under your pillow tonight" he whispered softly, his breath gently tickling her. Lady's sparkle was instantly ignatied and a huge smile spread across her cute but empty face. She gently kissed him and went on her little way, feeling great all because James had a quick, sharp mind
He felt himself grin in pride.
"I'm good, I'm good, I'm good" he remaked glowing in his marvelous success. But now he was in a bit of a trouble. He was going to have to find that girl a descent present before bedtime and sneak up to the girl's dormitory.
Thank the lord for no classes. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
