SoulmatesChapter Two: Matching partners
"Welcome to another exciting year in Hogwarts! Greetings to all the new students and I hope you enjoy yourselves! Eat! Sleep! Burp! Oops!
Back on a serious note, this year may not run smoothly. I wont lie to you; I can sense a big source of evil growing immensely, so be careful and aware.
However, if certain people forget about rivalry and become friends, we will still have hope. Friendship, may I say is what I value most."
Loud murmurs erupted from the four tables as the students discussed Dumbledore's speech. Most were confused, some were scared, but a few sensed the cryptic meaning.
These few included Lily Evans and James Potter.
"What do you think Professor Dumbledore meant?" asked a puzzled Tyra.
"You got me!" Kenna shrugged. "Hello! Earth to Lily! Are you ok? You've been rather quiet,"
"Oh-um -what? I mean, yeh I'm fine, just thinking some stuff over."
"Also," everyone in the hall quietened and started to listen. "I would like to announce the prefects for each house!
In Gryffindor, Del, Tyra and Lupin, Remus!" There were loud cheers from the Gryffindor table.
"Well done Tyra!" Lily exclaimed, feeling really happy for her friend.
Tyra blushed and caught someone's eye who was sitting a few seats away.
"Remus, man! Look what you've done! You've ruined our reputation!" Sirius joked.
Remus quickly looked back and smiled at Sirius.
"Thanks for the support man!" he said sarcastically.
"For Hufflepuff-" Dumbledore continued to announce the other house prefects, and finally said, "tuck in!"
That night, Lily walked alone to the common room, she told her friends to go ahead, she wanted some alone time. She reached the portrait when she suddenly remembered that she didn't know the password.
Dammit, she thought. She waited for another ten minutes, trying anything she could think of.
"Pelting frogs?" She said hopefully.
"No, actually it's butt cracks."
Lily recognised that egotistical voice turned around and looked up to see if was none other than James Potter.
"Uh-hi" she stammered. What's going on? She thought. Why am I stuttering?
"So are you going to just stand here all night or let us in?" James stated scornfully.
"WHAT! No." she said indignantly. She turned round to the fat lady. "Butt cracks"
Nothing happened.
Huh? Lily thought. It wasn't until she heard laughter behind her that she realised it was a trick.
"Evans, you are WAY too gullible!"
"POTTER! YOU IDIOT! YOU ARE SO IMMATURE, YOU LITTLE-"
"Well I wouldn't call myself little, seeing that you have to strain your neck, just to look at me,"
"Are you insulting my height now?" An angry voice shot.
Sure, he is too tall, way too tall for his own good actually! Hope he hits his head on the ceiling, so it can knock some brains into him! That idiot! She thought.
"Well, you started it, calling me little!"
"I was calling you little, I was just stating-" Lily stopped. "Never mind, I'm not going to waste my breath talking to a fool like you!"
"Yeh, I don't want to talk to a midget like you either!"
Lily felt her temper rising considerably. Calm down, she assured herself. He's not worth it.
"Oh Jamie-honey! Where are yooou?"
"Damn! She found me!"
"Oh! Is your fan club too much for you to handle! Aww! Poor Jamie-honey!" Lily said mockingly, her spirit had just risen.
James, shooting a glare at Lily, quickly scrambled in a room, which he'd never seen before.
Felicity Walker stopped at her tracks when she saw Lily. She was a devoted member of the marauders, and especially to James. She had long platinum blonde hair which reached her waist and spiteful brown eyes.
"Oh, it's you." She said eyeing Lily. "Nothing but a low-class Muggle," She said under her breath.
"What! What was that, Walker?" Lily incited. As angry as she was with James, she was absolutely enraged with this girl. She'd heard what she said.
So what if I'm poor? At least I don't go chasing boys who're OBVIOUSLY not interested in me, she thought.
"No, nothing. Look, have you seen James?"
Lily glanced at the door, and saw James' head furiously shaking no. She grinned.
"Yeh, he went in there." She pointed to the room.
"Oh" she said without thanking Lily. She ran her hand through her hair and pushed past Lily to the door.
"Jeez, how rude!" Lily said audibly.
Just then, she heard James screaming, and she instantly felt better.
Before she turned to leave, she heard,
"LILY EVANS! YOU'VE JUST GOT YOURSELF IN A BIG PILE OF-" The voice was cut off by someone jumping on top of him.
Lily smiled, pleased with herself. She left to go find a Gryffindor friend who could tell her the real password. No one messes with me, she thought contentedly.
The next morning, while Lily was walking to breakfast with her friends, they bumped into the marauders.
James glared at Lily, who just smiled sweetly back. Too sweetly in fact that the others were worried.
"Uh, Lily, are you okay? You're SMILING at James?" Sirius inquired.
"Shut up, Sirius!" And with that, James stormed off, with Peter following meekly.
"Serves him right!" Lily smirked and walked into the hall, satisfied.
Remus smiled at Tyra, and she blushed.
"I've got some things I want to discuss with you about the prefect duties, Tyra," Remus said. "Want to talk over breakfast?"
"Certainly," Tyra said sweetly.
And the two walked off, holding a pleasant conversation.
"So I guess we'll be eating together?" Sirius said while smiling seductively at Kenna.
Kenna felt her inside boil, and managed to say, "Don't be so sure!"
"Oh, I'm hurt Kenna!" Sirius put on a face of mock hurt, which made him look even more irresistible.
"Oh, all right then" Kenna gave in at his cute pleading eyes.
Sirius put one arm around her shoulder and led her into the great hall.
They didn't know it, but each of them had found their matching partner.
