"Uhm, Lita…" Eclipse said to her friend uncertainly, "Have you ever thought that… well, perhaps violence isn't the answer?"
"Of course I have!" Lita said as if it were the most obvious question in the world, "I just choose to ignore that side of me. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a Malfoy to kill."
"Wonderful." Eclipse muttered, following her friend to make sure she didn't do anything illegal, such as, well, murdering Lucius.
"You needn't come," Lita said, looking back at her friend, "I have the Marauders."
"That's what I was afraid of." Eclipse said with a small chuckle.
"I'm glad I have your support." Lita said sarcastically as she jovially
made her way outside to the quidditch pit, where the last game would be held.
Her smile widened when she saw that the Slytherin's team were arguing with the
Gryffindor's team. "Magnificent!"
"No…" Eclipse moaned, "How about you skip practice? You can do something, well, something else that isn't dangerous and won't get anyone but yourself harmed?"
"Gee, thanks." Lita said dryly.
"You're quite welcome." Eclipse said with an innocent smile.
"You've talked to Icy way to much." Lita chuckled with a smile
"Perhaps, perhaps." Eclipse laughed.
"LITA!" James bellowed when he saw her, "GET YOUR LAZY BUM OVER HERE!"
"WHAT IF I WANT TO STAY HERE?" Lita hollered back.
"I'LL HUNT DOWN DIGGORY AND
HAVE HIM CARRY YOU OVER HERE!" was James's smirked response.
"Damn it Potter, fhu." Lita muttered, stalking towards the team while
Eclipse laughed.
There were many odd, made-up words in the girls' vocabulary. Fhu was only one of them. It was an acronym, actually, used as a word. In this case it stood for 'fucking hate you'.
"Are you coming, Call?" Malfoy sneered, malice glittering in his eyes,
"Or are you still hung up over Diggory?"
Lita couldn't take it and she snapped, going after the Slytherin boy. Eclipse groaned, and looked up at the sky. That was strange. It was turning awfully dark awfully fast. That didn't make sense. The weather had just been extremely warm and clear, contrary to the wild storm of last night. Like Lita's mood. It went from serene to quite ferocious in a blink of a second. Eclipse snapped out of her trance when she heard a low growl of thunder and the violent flash of lightning illuminating the sky. She looked over at Lita, who was currently struggling to get out of the grasp of Sirius. He let go of her when Malfoy called her a mudblood. She punched Malfoy in the face as a teacher hurried to the scene.
"Miss Call! That was uncalled for!" Cried the teacher, and a few students rolled their eyes, "Fighting is against the school rules!"
"But professor-" Eclipse began in her friends defense.
"I don't want to hear it! Call! Eckland! With me now!"
"But I didn't do anything!" Eclipse cried, looking shocked.
"NOW!" the teacher bellowed angrily. Eclipse scowled, and glanced at Lita who had a look of murder on her face. The storm was matching her anger, and was throwing down harsh rains.
