Disclaimer: I still own nothing…
A/N: Thank you guys so much for the reviews… BTW the more reviews I get, the fast I have the urge to write a new chapter… Well, here is the next chapter, hope you guys like it…
The next morning, I went downstairs to find Sirius waiting for me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him, "Why are you waiting for me? Are you kidnapping me? I really don't thing James would like that very much."
"I believe certain people asked me to look after certain a certain girlfriend of theirs. No, I'm not kidnapping you, though if you want me to, it could be easily arranged. As for James, I always thought he was a bit of a stick in the mud," Sirius responded.
"James? A stick in the mud? Compared to Peter boy maybe…" James was about as much as a stick in the mud as Sirius was.
"He never wants to go along with my pranks…" Sirius said, "But don't worry with him out the picture for the next couple of days, I can pull the best ones out of the bag and pull them without having to worry about him hounding me," Sirius said with an evil laugh as we entered the Great Hall.
"Sirius, how many times do we have to tell you?" I asked him, annoyed. Was I going to have to deal with him all the time until James got out the hospital wing? I mean, Sirius was great and all, but…"When James doesn't go along with one of your pranks, it's usually illegal or will hurt someone."
"But that's when they're really fun," He said, but I could not really understand the last part on account of the fact that he had been inhaling food.
"Hey, Lily can I—" Tyler, a Ravenclaw seventh year asked walking up to me.
"Can you what? If you're trying to move in on my best friend's girlfriend while he's all pathetic, then I'm going to have to stuff you in a spare closet and lock you in!" Sirius shouted. He sure as heck did not have any trouble getting the food out of his mouth when he wanted to harass someone.
"Sirius, he was just asking to borrow—" I started.
"I know what he was asking. Lily, I think we should leave," Sirius said. I could hardly believe he was serious.
"I'm so sorry, Tyler," I said as Sirius pulled me by my shirtsleeve out the Great Hall.
"Sirius, can I go for just a second to—" I started.
"To go make-out with Tyler there? I don't think so," Sirius responded. I think he was going insane at this point. I have to admit, I feel bad about what I did next, but it was necessary.
"Hey, Sirius, look! It's cake!" I said, preparing to run away.
"Cake? What? Where?" Sirius said, looking around wildly. I seized this opportunity to take off running towards the hospital wing. When I rounded the corner, I could hear Sirius screaming at random people about stealing cake.
I got to the hospital wing and begged Madam Pomphrey to let me in. I had to get in before classes. I could not take having Sirius as my shadow for the next two days.
"James," I said, running into the hospital wing, "Wake up! I've got to talk to you!"
"Hm? What? Lily? Am I going crazy? Lily?" James said, half awake.
"Yeah, it's me," I answered.
"Oh, make-out," James said, coyly.
"No, no making out!" I said, annoyed. "Remember yesterday you told Sirius to 'take care of your girl'?"
"Hmm? What? Oh, yeah," James responded lazily.
"Well, you've got to tell him to leave me alone before I shove him in a closet and lock it!" I said, borrowing the last part from Sirius. I had to get something out of the mornings events, right?
"What's he doing?" James asked, finally awake and literate.
"Let's just say I've acquired a new shadow!" I said.
"Fine, tell him I said to lay off," James said, falling back asleep. I walked out the hospital wing to find Sirius waiting for me.
"Well, you thought you escaped didn't you?" Sirius asked as though he knew what was going on all along,
"Oh, I don't think I did. I know I did. James said to lay off, I can take care of myself," I said, "Sorry for being so mean. Can we go eat now?"
"Fine, just promise me this," Sirius said as we made our way to the Great Hall.
"What?" I was scared to know what he wanted.
"Absolutely no more lying where cake is concerned!" Sirius said, perfectly serious. We made our way to the Great Hall. I discovered one thing along the way. Sirius is downright hilarious.
"Hey guys," I said to Gwen and Remus as Sirius and I sat down.
"Hey, where have y'all been?" Remus questioned.
"In the hospital wing," I answered.
"Oh, when's your hung from a pole by a pack of pixies, fell off the pole, and was run over by a stampede of hippogriffs when he hit the ground boyfriend getting out?" Gwen asked with a smile.
"Tomorrow evening and I doubt he'll like being referred to as the guy who… well you know," I said. I had to admit, it was a funny mental picture, but I doubt that James would see the humor in it.
"Wait, what's this about hanging from a pole?" Sirius asked us.
"Oh, well I guess you didn't hear because you were playing, but the announcer said that James looked as though he had been hung from a pole by a pack of pixies, fell of the pole, and was run over by a stampede of hippogriffs when he hit the ground," Remus answered with a smile.
"Interesting," Sirius said, looking as though Christmas had come early or better yet for him, Halloween. He then proceeded to inhale more food.
The owls got there just then. James' owl Little Girl Blue (to go along with Sirius' Little Boy Green) did not look too happy that his owner was not there. My owl, Shweetie, had a couple of dumb letters for me.
The rest of the day was pretty boring. I had to work with Gwen and Sirius for a Transfiguration project, seeing as how my partner, James was not there. They were quite distracting to work with, when they thought the other was not looking they would stare at each other and then upon realized the other was looking get red and flustered. I had to teach our Transfiguration class alone.
"So, where's James?" One of the first year girls asked upon entering the class.
"In the hospital wing," I replied.
"What happened was bloody brilliant!" A couple of the first year boys exclaimed.
"Yeah, brilliant," I said, sarcastically, "Now, if you guys would please start taking down notes. No such luck, James was the one with the loud voice who usually got them to shut up. I could not for the life of me talk over them. They apparently thought that since half the teaching team was gone, they would get a free period. About halfway through the class, I gave up trying to make them shut up and just told them they could leave early.
"What the heck do you think you're doing, stealing my ex-boyfriend less two months after we breakup?" I heard Eden screaming at Gwen as soon as I walked into my dorm room.
"I didn't steal him! We haven't even done anything! We're not even dating!" Gwen screamed in reply.
"Oh, I'm sure he was just showing you how fun rolling around on the floor was, right?" Eden screamed in response.
"That was all we did!" Gwen argued.
"All! I bet he left me for you! I have to say, Gwen, I never thought I would have to worry about you of all people stealing my boyfriend!" Eden screamed. I was just standing in the doorway, listening.
"Me, of all people? What's so wrong with me?!" Gwen asked, screaming.
"Whatever, I'm not even going there!" Eden screamed walking out.
"I didn't do anything wrong, Lily!" Gwen cried as she sank to the floor.
"I know you didn't," I said, sitting on the floor and putting my arms around her.
"Then, why is she so mad at me?" Gwen sobbed.
"I don't know, maybe she really liked Sirius," I said in response, "Maybe she just doesn't want you to have him, I don't know." I spent the rest of the night trying to get Gwen to stop crying. Eventually, I convinced her to go to bed and I went to bed. About an hour after I went to bed, I heard the door open and Eden walk in and crawl into bed.
