Title: Was it Meant to Be?
Chapter: 6/ Black Mail!
(Great Hall)
The next morning, every thing was as usual, the regular gossip and the loud chatter. Lily made a huge effort not even to pass a glance to James, who was sitting across from her. The nights events had taken her by such a surprise, it was over whelming. Thankfully, she thought, no one saw it happen except the other three boys. But Oh man, was she wrong! Some one…had most definitely seen them…and was not a happy camper at all. That some one…was plotting, a most evil scheme…just fit for James Potter. Revenge, would be sweet!
The breakfast hour passed along sluggishly, and still, not a word was even muttered at what happened. Lily, was quite surprised! Normally…any private matter…would be known quite easily to the entire school, but…some thing…was just odd…
They all walked quickly into the charms classroom and saw the stout, goblin like Professor standing there, on a huge stack of books…seeing as he was easily a foot or so tall. He chuckled lightly at a students nice comment as they shuffled in.
" Now, Class…as you know…I am Professor Flitwick, and I, will teach you the fine art of charms. But first…do let me warn you…one wrong pronunciation…and things won't be pretty most of the times…Now, please copy down these notes…and we will experiment…"
He tapped his wand lightly on the huge board, but as the words appeared, every one gasped. On it, were definitely, NOT notes…in huge, bright red words were written…
'SMOOCHIE SMOOCHIE, EH POTTER?'
James paled in the face as the class looked to him confused. Flitwick, in a confused mess tapped the board once more but was suddenly regretting it. The letters re assembled themselves for new ones to take place. Plastered on the board was…
'YES…A SECRET LITTLE SNOGGING SESSION, WITH THAT EVANS GIRL RIGHT? TSK,TSK, I NEVER THOUGHT THAT YOU WOULD GO TO SUCH LIMITS…I'M IMPRESSED…"
James' eyes widen as Lily look horror stricken at the lies which were displayed clearly on the boards. But what was next…really made the class believe those petty lies…right under…the now smaller words, was a huge enlarged picture of Lily and James, nearing for a kiss. There were gasps from the students as well as Professor Flitwick. For some…odd reason…Severus Snape had been absent from that class…and it was…quite suspicious at that. Lucius, as usual had his normal cold sneer on his face but it was more of a comic look this time, along with being the slightest bit shocked. Lily, on the other hand, had her face in her hands, apparently highly embarrassed at this. James, looked away from the schocked and mocking looks and his face, was as white as snow. Who, on the first hand, would do such a thing to him, or Lily. It was just sick and wrong. And second…little Snapie…wasn't there…talk about coincidence eh?
Flitwick, being the smarter one in the room silenced the students and pulled James and Lily out of class. Once in his main office he sat promptly at his desk, where he would be level, to the two of them and looked to them seriously. Lily looked to her feet the whole time, ready to burst into tears while James, looked to Flitwick his face still as pale as ever.
"I am highly dissapointed in you two…but…first off…is this all true? The picture is quite convincing…"
"Sir…speaking on behalf of Lily and I…none of it is true…we were out by the lake with Sirius, Remus, and Peter…when I knocked into her…and we came close…but luckily, I…caught my balance with my arms to keep me from falling on her…the fault is entirely mine…"
"Is this true, Miss Evans?"
"Yes…Professor…It was an…accident…"
Flitwick looked to both of their embarrassed faces and chuckled lightly.
" It seems my working days keep getting better and better…Alright you two…go on…class is stopping earlier…but prepare for a quiz next class!"
They nodded, and quickly walked out, not wanting at all to see his amused crinkled face anymore. Who would, in such a situation?
Lily walked along side James a moment, silent as ever while James' mind wandered off in thought and he occasionally mumbled aloud. Lily shook her head at him, until he looked up suddenly and stopped.
"Snape…he wasn't at breakfast…OR class today! It makes perfect sense…he is bloody jealous…!!"
James stormed off quickly, fuming madly, his face regained more color to it than needed and Lily sighed, heading off towards Gryffindor Towards.
Meanwhile in the Slytherin boys dormitories…
Loud sneesing and coughing was heard, from one of the four poster beds. The curtains were drawn tightly around it as to not let any sun into it's occupant. Loud sniffs and miserable moans were heard from behind it's secrecy as suddenly, the masked noise maker was revealed, by none other than Lucius Malfoy himself. The thick green and silver colored blankets were drawn over the persons head, keeping him hidden from veiw yet again to our greedy eyes.
"Oh, get up you big lug…you can't lay around all day! You already missed quite a show in Charms…it was quite amusing actually…"
"Shut up * sneeze * and leave me ALONE Lucius!"
Lucius snickered as he ripped back the covers and Severus Snape rested there, looking raged at him. His hair was messy, (bed head) and his face was paler than usual. He looked miserable and sick.
"Can't you leave me alone for once in your life Lucius? I am bloody sick…and want some rest as a matter of fact…and it's freezing in here!"
The young Snape was actually shivering in a well heated room.
" You should go see Madame Pomfrey…I'm sure she will fix you up…probably got a case of the flu…it's been going around…"
Lucius smirked as he turned quickly and walked swiftly out, but something fell from his pocket…and Severus eyed it curiously. He reached over and picked it up, a shocked expression coming to his face as he dropped it. His heart sank immediately as he looked to……
T.B.C…
