Chapter 6
~*~ Third day of school
"We're finally out of that torture chamber," Sere said happily as she walked to breakfast.
"It wasn't that bad," Lily admonished.
"Oh?"Mina asked.
"I didn't think so anyway," Lily said.
"Then why'd you complain," Sere asked.
"Every time she gave you" Mina added.
"A potion," Sere supplied.
"or tonic?" Mina finished.
"You win, it's a torture chamber," Lily admitted.
"It was really nice of that seventh year prefect to give us the password so we could get into the common room," Sere said.
"You just want a date with him," Lily accused.
"Damn straight," Sere agreed. They walked over and sat down by the Marauders.
"He was pretty cute," Mina said.
"Who was cute?" asked Remus.
"Gary Sugarplum," Mina answered her boyfriend.
"Oh really?" Peter asked.
"Not as cute as Remus of course," Mina said with a grin.
"Of course," Remus said with an answering grin. He leaned down and gave her a kiss.
"Awe now, have a heart, I'm trying to eat here," Sirius said pleadingly.
"For once he has a point, I really don't want to go back to the vile smelling torture chamber again because I chucked up my breakfast," Sere agreed. James, Lily and Peter laughed at the two.
"You two are horrible," Mina complained.
"You love me anyway," Sere said with a smile, grabbing for a slice of bacon.
"How are you three doing now? Ready to pull any more tricks, or did you learn your lesson?" Malfoy asked the girls as he walked by the Gryffindor table. Sere started to get up, but Lily grabbed the back of her robes and hauled her back down. Mina just grinned and pointed her wand at him. His hair was instantly green. The table erupted into laughter as Professor Smalltoosh, leader of the Slytherin house, stood up and took ten points from Gryffindor. That started an argument between She and Professor McGonagall, who was the leader of Gryffindor. Eventually the points were given back since in a hall full of students, you couldn't pinpoint the exact culprit.
"That was amusing," Remus said as he grabbed another slice of ham from a plate.
"Thank you," Mina said as she smiled at him.
"So you all are going to lessons with us now?" Peter asked.
"What do you think numb nuts?" Sere asked him.
"Play nice Serena dearest," Mina scolded lightly.
"Whatever you say Minuette darling," Sere shot back.
"Touché," Mina replied.
"So, what is our schedule like?" Lily asked the boys.
"Double Herbology with Ravenclaw," Peter answered quickly.
"Lovely," Lily said with a smile.
"Professor Sprout is," Sere started.
"so nice," Mina finished.
"That is really strange the way you two do that," James complained.
"Tears," Sere stated.
"I'm" Lily added.
"Sure," Mina finished.
"Extremely scary," Sirius commented.
"We have Potions with Slytherin at two," James told the girls.
"Gee, you've just made my day," Sere said sarcastically.
"Do you have to comment on everything?" Sirius asked.
"Yes," She answered with a smirk. Then she gave him a disgusted look, "Is Pruddie Inklet the best you could do?" She asked as a pretty Hufflepuff walked forward and draped her arms around his shoulders. The girl shook her short blonde locks angrily.
"What's that supposed to mean?" She asked in a high voice. Sere looked her up and down scathingly.
"Considering that you have the, . . . How to put this gently?" She tapped her chin in mock thoughtfulness, "loosest morals in Hufflepuff,"
"And sweetie? That's saying something," Mina added.
"Huh?" Pruddie asked in confusion. Mina and Lily looked at her, trying to figure out if she was as dense as she was making it seem.
"I'll put it in terms you understand," Sere started before a hand was slapped over her mouth. She bit down on James's hand.
"OW," he yelled.
"Serves you right," Lily commented.
"As I was saying, You are the most annoying, possibly the dumbest, without a doubt the biggest crybaby, and the first to spread your legs given any and every opportunity," Sere told her with a smile.
"WHAT?" The girl shrieked, "How dare you!?" She asked incredulously.
"First off, I know you heard me the first time; Second, I didn't have to dare, I'm naturally honest," Pruddie started turning as red as a tomato.
"You know Prude, red really isn't your color, you should try to stick with shades of yellow and peach," Lily said offhandedly.
"I- I- I-," Pruddie stuttered in anger. She was saved by Sirius as he decided that before something drastic happened he would just take her back to her table.
"Bu by dearest," Sere said in a sweet tone. She cupped her chin in one hand and wiggled the fingers of her other hand at the girl.
"see you later Prudence," Lily said with a smile.
"are you feeling okay? You look a little miffed," Mina said with a serious expression on her face and a twinkle in her eye. They watched as Sirius sat her on a seat and started to whisper in her ear.
"You three are mean," accused a voice from nearby.
"That's all right," Mina told him.
"We don't mind at all," Sere replied. The boy shook his head.
"You should be nicer,"
"come on Petey, you know you love us," Lily told him.
"Wormtail, I don't suggest you start with this trio. . . you'll just get confused," James told the other boy. Lily and Sere glared daggers at him.
"Watch it Prongs, I don't think they're in the mood," Remus said bemused.
"Are they ever in the mood?" James asked.
"James dear," Lily started she pointed her wand at him and muttered something under her breath. She and the other two got up and walked away as the entire hall erupted into gales of laughter.
"You know, Purple is a really good color for you," Sere shot over her shoulder at James. He sat there, steam ready to pour out of his ears. He as dressed in a purple bunny suit that had a white belly. He also had a carrot attached to his 'paw'.
"GET BACK HERE YOU B-" James shout was cut off as Remus put a silencing charm on his friend. He knew what would have happened if he had said what he was going to in front of McGonagall, Smalltoosh, and Sprout.
"Thank you Mr. Lupin," Dumbledore said in the quiet, "and would you please locate the three misses that just left the hall.
"Will do sir," he grinned as he left the hall and went in search of the three prettiest girls at Hogwarts.
