° - The Three Broomsticks - °
Lily and James looked completely, utterly confused as their friends ushered them into The Three Broomsticks as soon as they reached Hogsmeade, all of them chattering amongst themselves excitedly and ignoring the questions from Lily and James, who were now feeling slightly scared of their over-excited friends. Kathy and Jen were each hanging on to Lily's arm's, pulling her through the noise and the crowd of people, a happy air all around them while the boys dragged James behind them.
"Eh...what's the rush?" Lily said as Sirius and Kathy dragged her into The Three Broomsticks, which was buzzing with Hogwarts students and other witches and wizards, it was also noisy and the air was filled with laughter and endless chatter, and the scraping of chairs against the floor and the high chairs at the bar moving around, and people calling out their orders while some others were entering the shop. It was a typical, noisy day at the Three Broomsticks. Madam Rosmerta was rushing around handing people their drinks.
"Nothing!" Remus said and smiled as he looked around, waving to some people he knew.
"Whatever," James said rolling his eyes as he walked in with Jen and Peter, looking extremely irritated at the rush and lack of explanations from his friends who were all acting weird.
They sat at a table and naturally, everyone made Lily and James sit next to each other. Jen sat next to Remus and glared at him as though saying 'Go get the damn drinks, I cant wait any longer!' Peter then stood up and said "I'll go get the drinks." And he walked over to the counter, looking very, very nervous although he was stepping forward to be sorted allover again. Lily was avoiding James slightly, since she was feeling annoyed that their friends were not telling them something, and he was staring at her, then Sirius started distracting everyone by changing Kathy's hair a different color each time he waved his wand, just so they wouldn't look at Peter, because they didn't want Lily and James to see him slipping Veriteserum into one of the butterbeers, well at least not Lily.
"Ill go get the drinks," Peter said and smiled, then walked over to the counter to order eight butterbeers. He glanced back at the table before pulling the container out of his pocket and emptying it completely into one of the butterbeers, looking slightly nervous. He returned to the table and handed out the drinks, making sure to give Lily the last one on the left as he looked dead nervous, he did not want anyone to get the wrong thing.
"Why are all of you looking at me??" Lily asked them suspiciously and blinked as they all turned away, except James who was clearly as confused as her, as she stared at her drink. She wished her friends would cut the crap and tell them what was going on.
Kathy took a sip from her butterbeer and smiled.
Identical, evil, grins formed on the faces of the people who formed the plan as Lily took a long sip from her butterbeer. "Yes!" Jen said and laughed, and Kathy high fived Remus while Peter and Sirius cheered, but their noise was blocked out by the other people in the bar anyway. James blinked.
Sirius glanced at Lily who looked like she was in a trance, completely out of it. Her eyes were slightly wide open, empty, and her face as set in a straight expression, her mouth in a thin flat line with her hands on the table flatly. She looked as though she had been hypnotized or something. But the way she looked was much more tranced than the way she was supposed to look. They all turned to Peter with looks of worry on their faces. Remus and Jen voiced their thoughts.
"Peter how many drops did you put in it?" Remus and Jen asked, frowning as Kathy waved a hand in front of Lily's face, calling her name every now and then and flicking her head, in hope of a reaction or something.
"The whole thing," Peter squeaked nervously and Sirius hit his head on the table.
James looked at them, confusedly and angrily, and then he looked at Lily "Okay, all of you are going to tell me what's going on, right now."
Sirius smiled at James, wondering how he would have felt if it was him who had to be around evil people for so long, "Alright, and alright. You know how Lily will never admit she loves you?" Sirius started casually.
James raised an eyebrow, "Yes." He said and blinked. 'What does that have to do with anything?!'
"Well," Jen grinned evilly "We formed a plan, us" she said and nodded.
"Yep, we decided we couldn't take it anymore, both of you being stubborn, Lily being in denial and all. It was annoying because you two are meant to be!" Kathy said and smiled.
"So we decided that Lily actually admitting it is like Hell freezing over, catch my drift? Anyway, we decided only one thing would make Lily tell the truth…Veriteserum.." Sirius said and smirked.
"But Peter put the whole container in her drink, so she'll be in a complete trance, and cant say anything but the truth, it'll wear off in an hour." Remus added reassuringly to a worried looking James.
James grinned, "is she?" he said and pokes Lily gently, and she nearly fell off her chair, he caught her then looked at them "I guess she is.."
"Well, now we have to go back to the common room, we can't do this in front of all these people!" Kathy said and stood up, and all the others did the same, James helping Lily off. She seemed so different when she was in a trance.
"You do know that you'll be taking me to the Hospital Wing as soon as that stuff wears off, don't you?" James said uneasily.
"Yep, but we'll be with you, with pink moustaches or something!" Jen grinned and all the others laughed.
[Hogwarts, GCR!]
James walked into the GCR after the portrait door swung open, to be followed by Remus, Kathy, Jen, Peter and Sirius.
"Well, we better leave you and Lily alone now Prongs, you know," Remus said and smiled, then he and Kathy dragged Sirius and Jen away before they could open their mouths to complain, Peter followed them silently.
"Shhhh!" Remus said as they stopped at the staircase that lead to the boys' dormitories. "We'll spy on them," Kathy said and grinned. "Oooh okay," Jen said and Sirius nodded and they all poked their heads over the edge, looking like criminals while they stared at them.
James smiled at Lily, "Hola Evans." He said and stared at the beautiful red head sitting in front of him.
Lily didn't say anything.
"You like me, don't you?" he asked her and grinned arrogantly. He felt weird and fidgeted slightly as he waited for her answer feeling very nervous.
"I do." Lily said.
Jen and Sirius silently high fived, Remus grinned and Kathy squealed slightly, Peter smiled "Finnallllyy!" he whispered, all of them felt like cheering and dancing around, but they had to maintain their silence for the rest of the time.
James let out a cheer and started dancing around, and smiled very broadly, "for how long?" he asked and grinned slightly, sitting next to her then getting up again.
"Fifth year." She answered flatly.
"I knew it!" James said and laughed, a huge smile still on his face while he stared at the entranced Lily.
Lily didn't do anything, not even blink, she was completely out of it. James started feeling awkward talking to something that much resembled a robot. Or a dead person.
"Okay Evans, why don't you say yes when I ask you out?" he asked her slightly annoyed, and stared at her, waiting for an answer patiently.
"Because your attitude is too much and you think you can get anyone you want," Lily answered.
James glared at her then smiled, "but I changed didn't I?" he asked hopefully. James knew he had changed. He hadn't done it intentionally, well half of it, but he knew, that he changed…
"Yes you did." She said.
"I know." He said and grinned.
"Okay im going to ask you again, just to make sure .. do you like me Evans?" he asked her and laughed.
"Yes." She answered, and Sirius fell from the staircase and grinned "I TOLD YOU PRONGS!" he yelled, then yelped as Kathy, Jen, Remus and Peter landed on top of him, since they tripped over his foot. "Heh.." Kathy said nervously. James raised an eyebrow.
But Jen was sitting in front of Lily, smirking "Okay Lils, why have you always turned down every guy that ever asked you out?" Jen asked, she had been dying to find out.
"Because I sort of liked James, and I wanted nothing to do with other guys because I did not have time." Lily answered, and James smiled, Sirius laughed and Remus grinned, and Kathy laughed too. They knew that Lily had always had feelings for James, and they also knew that she did not like getting in to relationships too much anyway,s ince most of the time, her studies came first.
"I feel guilty." Kathy stated, sitting down. She did feel guilty. She ran a hand through her hair and sighed, looking at Lily.
"Don't!" Jen said, "This is funny ... what else should we ask her??" she said and grinned slightly, standing in front of her best friend.
Sirius thought of it for a moment then grinned, "'Ey Evans, do you think Prongsie is cute?" he asked and smirked, sitting down next to Lily. He knew the answer was yes. No one thought that James was ugly anyway. Or himself for that matter.
Lily nodded and everyone burst out laughing.
Then she blinked and Remus looked alarmed "Oh no, I think its worn off!" he said slightly nervously and they all backed up a little.
Lily suddenly shut her eyes and shook her head, then opened them again and looked around at all of them, and opened her mouth to speak then started remembering everything she just admitted and started screaming like she humiliated.
"Run!" Jen said, but before they could do anything there was a flash of light and Lily stomped out of the common room, tears streaming down her face and steam coming out of her ears. She was so angry right now.
Kathy sat up and looked at her hands and noticed that her skin was green.
"Ka-Kathy, you look-!" Jen said and started laughing hysterically, only it didn't sound like laughter. She was snorting.
"Yea well you make the noises!" Kathy said and felt her head and touched a strand of Puke green hair.
"Why do you-?" Jen started to ask the guys but started snorting and grunting, and everyone started laughing, Jen had pink frizzy hair, pink skin, and pig ears and a tail. She was resembling a pig, and if anyone hadn't been watching, they wouldn't have known that it was Jen on the floor.
"She made you a pi-!" Kathy started to say but only made frog noises, and her skin turned to green scales and she had big black eyes, a wide mouth and green hair. She looked like a frog. So Lily felt that Jen was a pig and Kathy was like a frog. Stupid.
Jen snorted.
Kathy made a frog noise, and the guys were roaring with laughter, nearly rolling around on the floor laughing while the girls stood up looking extremely annoyed..and hideous.
"Hey, she didn't do anything to us!" Sirius said and grinned slightly, feeling happy.
Remus shrugged, "I don't know why."
James was still smiling, "why is she angry?"
Remus frowned, "we humiliated her James!" he said like it was the most obvious thing in the world and rolled his eyes, feeling guilty just like Kathy, and slowly, Jen.
Kathy and Jen looked at each other then stood up and started heading to the Hospital Wing.
James, Sirius, Peter and Remus followed the girls then James looked at all of them, "do you think I should go speak to her?"
"No!" Remus said. "She'll kill you."
James nodded.
[Hospital Wing]
Madam Pomfrey was fussing over Jen and Kathy, muttering things about students hexing each other for stupid reasons, and Seventh Years for that matter. She was looking angry and frustrated while she bustled around the hospital wing getting things.
"Here, drink this, both of you" she said and handed them both a cup as she walked back over to them. They took them from her and stared at it. It looked like the most disgusting thing in the world that someone would put in their mouth.
They both drank it and grimaced.
"Hey my voice is back to normal!" Jen said and sighed with relief as her appearance started to slowly come back as well. "Lily is mad at us, Kathy. She's not going to speak to us." She said slowly, sighing slightly.
"I know," Kathy said uncomfortably, "Man I knew we shouldn't have done this from the start..bloody plan.." she mumbled.
Soon enough, the girls were free to go, both back to normal.
[By The Lake]
Lily sat by the lake, far away from everyone. She wiped a tear away from her face and sniffled slightly. 'How could they do that to me?!' she thought furiously, 'They have no idea...I thought they were my friends!' she thought and threw a rock in to the lake. She felt so humiliated, and so betrayed.
She wiped a few more tears away from her face. 'I mean, its not that I hate James, but I didn't want him to know, well not that way at least...I don't know what's gotten into me lately, I think about him a lot...who would have thought, Potter?! He's become nicer, and more caring I guess, but I don't know why I couldn't admit it to him...maybe because I didn't want him to know that he finally got to me, yes that's it...wow I must be selfish, he's been trying to get me to go out with him for 2 years if not more...ah…this is so complicating' she thought and frowned, then pulled a knee up to her chest and rested her head on it.
''I'm not talking to any of them...not till I get my head sorted! And because I'm angry with them, that was the most humiliating thing that has ever happened to me!' she grumbled as she thought about it and blushed, then stood up and started walking to the castle, noticing it was getting dark, she glanced at a first year and frowned "You there, get inside!" she called to him and to some other second years who were running around.
She sighed as she slowly walked down on the grounds of Hogwarts and over the large castle. She pushed open the Oak doors gently, and slowly started down the halls, looking around and feeling so many thoughts go in her head. Memories. A feeling about that this was her last year here. She sighed slightly, shaking her head as she walked.
She turned around the corner and saw Kathy, Jen, and the boys walking into the common room. She glowered and went in after them headed straight to the girls' dormitories, ignoring their calls and pleads for her to come back. It was no use. They heard the dormitory door slam, and they all sighed defeatedly.
Jen frowned after her, "There, we try and she acts as if were part of the bloody wall!" she said and frowned, chucking a book at a Fourth Year who didn't have anything to do with this. "Don't do that." James warned her and frowned, being Head Boy he had to tell people to watch their actions anyway.
"Ill go talk to her..." Kathy said and ran into the girls' dormitories, feeling so bad for doing this to Lily. She really didn't want to in the first place anyway…
Kathy went inside and saw Lily getting into her bed. She walked over to her feeling slightly cautious but relaxed a little when she saw that Lily's wand was on the table.
"Hey Lils." She said and smiled, trying not to act nervous.
Lily ignored her and turned her back to her.
"Lily, talk to me...I know your upset, but..." she said and took a deep breath "we're sorry, we really are." She said, and looked away, hoping Lily would take the apology.
This angered Lily and she sat up in her bed "YEAH, IM SURE YOUR ALL SORRY, BET YOU THOUGHT IT WAS A REAL LAUGH, ALL OF YOU, ASKING ME QUESTIONS WHILE I WAS IN A TRANCE, OF COURSE, YOU WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TO HAVE THE GUY YOU ALWAYS TRIED TO AVOID HEAR YOU SAY YOU LIKED HIM, OH YEAH IM SURE YOUR ALL FEELING POSITIVLEY BLOODY DREADFULL ABOUT IT, ARENT YOU?! YES OF COURSE, YOU DIDN'T THINK ABOUT ME WHEN YOU WERE MAKING YOUR STUIPED PLAN, YOU DIDN'T THINK IF IT WOULD MAKE ME UPSET OR NOT DID YOU KATHY?!" she yelled and turned around again, pulling the covers over her head, tears of anger burning in her eyes again while she threw something at the wall.
Kathy stood there, mouth opening and closing. She decided she should leave Lily alone for now and walked back down into the common room, to find all of them sitting there, wide-eyed. She felt so horrible. Why did she agree and let her friends go on with us? She felt bad. So stupid.
"We heard." Remus finally said, breaking the nasty silence that had filled the air while they all sat.
"You know what, maybe she's right…she's furious, you know. She isn't going to speak to us for a whole week, if not more." Jen said and bit her lip, leaning back on the couch with a frustrated sigh, she did not need this happening. Stupid plan.
"She'll get over it." Peter squeaked and shrugged, standing up and walking around the common room.
"Yes, I'm sure she will." Sirius added and sighed slightly.
James frowned and put his head in his hands "This is all my fault, all of it, from the start." He said and moaned slightly, falling backwards on to the couch.
"Why?" Jen asked and blinked. It was not his fault.
"Because if I didn't always make a fuss over her, this wouldn't have happened." He pointed out, rather sadly, but no one caught the sadness and frustration in his voice as he put his hands over his face frustratedly.
"Its not your fault James," Remus said firmly.
"Whatever...I'm heading up to bed, good night." He said to all of them and dragged himself to the boys' dormitory, not feeling good about this. Not feeling good at all.
Kathy sat down on the couch next to Jen, sulking.
"Oh come off it Kathy," Jen said irritably, "She'll come through soon!" she said like it was going to happen and she was sure. Kathy sighed slightly. She wasn't sure that might be right She knew
"Yeah...maybe." Kathy squeaked.
[A week later]
Lily hadn't spoken to her friends, or the Marauders since the whole incident. Deaf to their calls and yells, blind to their waving, she ignored them completely. Nothing, she didn't even look their way when they called after her endlessly. She wasn't happy that she was, but she was still mad at them for doing that to her. She was so upset. She wished it had never happened in the first place. She would not answer them in class, and would refuse to be partners with them in classes. Even the teachers and some fellow students were surprised by her actions.
"Come through, eh Jen?" Kathy snapped the in the common room. Her hair was in a very messy bun and she was angry, wringing her hands and muttering things to herself as she stomped around the common room. She hadn't spoken to Lily in a week and it was pissing her off that her friend was so mad at them.
"I thought she would, don't bite my head off Kathy," Jen said and growled, and glared at the floor, she was also getting angry and frustrated and she hated it when people pointed her out wrong "I don't know what she's being such an ass about, all we did was try to help her, I mean she DID say she liked him didn't she?! She did say that, and now she's avoiding him, AND us!? I don't understand!" she yelled out angrily, banging her head against a book frustratedly.
Why did Lily have to be such a damn complicated bitch right now?!
"I'm sorry," came a familiar voice from the portrait hole, Jen turned around and Kathy did too. Lily was standing near the Portrait Hole with a small smile on her face. She could not take it any longer; she just had to speak to her friends about it. It had annoyed her os much not be able to talk them for so long.
"Forgiven!" Kathy said quickly and ran over to hug Lily.
Jen turned around again and didn't do anything. Lily and Kathy looked at each other and rolled their eyes. Lily walked over to Jen and dropped on the couch next to her, smiling slightly.
" 'Eylo Jenners." She grinned, poking Jen in a friendly way.
Jen shrugged.
"Alright then, don't laugh for another minute If your actually mad at me." Lily said and nodded, folding her arms across her chest loosely and staring at Jen.
Jen grinned and hugged Lily, "Cow!" she laughed. "Why where you being such a shit for so long Lily?"
Lily smiled at her friends "Eh...sorry for being a pain and all, I was just mad...and embarrassed" she added and frowned slightly, blushing as she remembered the events of that 'dreaded' night, or so she liked to call it actually. She looked at both of her friends.
Jen grinned, "I KNEW YOU LIKED HIM, I ALWAYS DID!" she yelled and danced around the common room.
Kathy laughed and nodded in agreement, "why couldn't you confess the easy way Lils?" she asked and raised an eyebrow, leaning back in the squashy arm chair she was sitting me.
Lily blushed, "Argh go away…because Potter thought he could have EVERY SINGLE girl he wanted, so I didn't want to be one of those girls he would go out with for a week then dump, no, not me. I don't want to be like that. Even if I do like him, I'm not stupid" she complained, sounding slightly hurt.
Kathy shook her head. "You know he would N-E-V-E-R do that to you, he thinks you're a Goddess or something!" she said exasperatedly to Lily, who was being slow in her opinion at the moment. Could she not see that James was prepared to dive off the Astronomy Tower for her in order to gain her love? Why did she have to be so damn stupid?!
Jen popped up from behind them, "Yup Lils, he lurves you!" she sang annoyingly.
Lily blushed again and poked Jen, "Shut up Jen, he doesn't love me!" she said and frowned, sitting back on the couch with her legs crossed, her dark red hair in a high, messy ponytail. Her emerald green eyes had a far away look in them as she heard the portrait hole open.
"Yes I do!" James said and grinned, as the portrait hole closed after him. "Who told ya I didn't Lily?" he asked and stuck his tongue out.
Sirius came in moments after him and knocked him over, out of the way, frowning with a dramatic kind of look on his face.
"Lillian, dear girl! OF COURSE PRONGSIE LOVES YOU, OLD GIRL!" he grinned, "You should hear him talk about you, woman!" he smirked, "He thinks your absolutely gorgeous, and he's had a crush on you since he saw you, and he wants to go out with you, and marry you and have a son named.." but Sirius never got to finish his sentence, a scarlet with embarrassment James had clamped a hand over his mouth and was dragging him to the boys dormitories, as Sirius tried to kick him off, it was obvious he was laughing hysterically and James was glowering, red with embarrassment while Sirius tried to fight him off frantically.
Jen and Kathy were rolling around on the floor, roaring with laughter and Lily had turned even redder than her hair. Was that true? Sirius would not make all of that up for one of James' regular girlfriends.
"Ca-can we come to your wedding, Lils?!" Jen said, still laughing slightly as she wiped the tears off her eyes.
"Nonsense, I'm not marrying Potter!" she snapped irritatedly at her friends' slowness. When would they just shut up about it?
"Yes you are!" Kathy said, and then she and Jen started humming a wedding tune.
Lily groaned and stomped into the girls' dormitories.
[The Next morning - Monday]
"JENNIFER ESMERALDA CARMEN ANASTACIA GRISDALE, GET UP THIS INSTANT!" a very annoyed Lily yelled and walloped Jen with a pillow over and over again, yelling things at her to try and wake her up. They had waited on her for so long, that the other girls in the dorm were already out. "Bye!" Mel Faux called to them and ran to catch up with her twin.
"Fine fine!" Jen grumbled as she fell off her bed, "getting violent, arentcha Lils?" she grumbled and tried to untangle herself from her bed sheets, very lazily and slowly although she knew it was okay for her to take her time and not even bother that they were going to be late for class.
Lily pursed her lips and looked at Kathy "Watch this," she mumbled in her ear then cleared her throat "HEY JEN, WERE LATE FOR BREAKFAST!" Lily yelled and smirked
"OH NO!" Jen gasped and got dressed as fast as she could then ran out of the girls dormitories and out of the common room, forgetting to brush her long, (tangled) curls as she sped off before Lily and Kathy, half-joking of course. But she seriously did not want to miss breakfast, and that was for sure.
Lily and Kathy raised their eyebrows, gathered their things and set off after her, laughing loudly.
Jen was sitting at the table, hurriedly eating breakfast; there were few students in the hall, as everyone was now getting to class. Lily and Kathy sat down and ate quickly, then got up and dragged Jen out of the Great Hall.
"C'mon Jen were late for Transfiguration!" Lily groaned. "We're supposed to be transfiguring the tables into rabbits today, lets go I don't want to miss this, because I'm positive it will be on our N.E.W.T's and I don't want to fail, I've told you before, you two slackers! Now LETS GO!" she bellowed and Jen got up.
Kathy followed, and then Jen did.
[Transfiguration Class]
"Ah I cant get it right!" Jen mumbled, practically killing the rabbit with her wand, poking and whacking it with her wand repeatedly.
"For heavens sake, Jen, you changed the table into a rabbit, now change it back!!" Lily frowned, "its not that difficult!" she said as she turned her concentration back to her own rabbit and said the spell loudly, but mis-pronounced a word and—
BOOM!
Lily stood there, and blinked, covered in black dust and there were burns in her robes, and she had a table with rabbit fur and spots on it.
James walked over, laughing hysterically.
"What do you want now Potter?" she snapped impatiently as she pointed her wand to herself and cleared herself off then pointed her wand at the mess she made and changed it back.
"Will you go to Hogsmeade with me?" he joked.
"No." she said and started gathering her books as everyone in the class started heading out as the bell rang.
"Evans, I know you like me!!" he said and grinned. He didn't really mean it, he was just annoying her.
"I DON'T!" she bellowed, irritated and ran out of the class.
James sighed "What is it with her?!" he asked angrily, and frustratedly, almost to himself.
Remus appeared next to James, and sighed slightly, shaking his head. "James, if you want Lily to say yes to you then you have to change a little bit...and stop calling her Evans, it annoys her. I have hear dyou call her Lily before, stick to that. And stop joking around with her and being annoying" He added and nodded.
"CHANGE?!" James spat, "Have I not changed enough for her?" he said and angrily and kicked the wall.
"Well," Sirius said and grinned "According to my 'calculations', Prongsie m'boy, you HAVE changed for her, allot!"
"I'm serious," he said and frowned.
"No your not!" Sirius said and frowned in a confused way "you are JAMES, and IM Sirius…" he started.
"Shut up Sirius, there is no time for your stupidity now." Remus snapped then turned to James. "Just take it easy with her, she was very embarrassed, you know." He explained and sighed slightly.
"Right." James sighed and walked out of the class.
"Now, where's Snivellus?!" Sirius called as he ran after James, Remus frowned and ran after them.
[Lunch]
"Lily, we know, they know, and YOU know you like him, so say yes to him." Jen said.
"C'mon Lils, look at him, he's miserable!" Kathy said and pointed at James, who was at the other end of the table. James was sitting with his elbow on the table, his head propped up with his hand, and he was poking his mashed potatoes with his fork, in his other hand.
Lily growled and started eating very hastily to avoid answering her annoying friends.
"Now, tell us why you wont say yes to him!" Jen prompted, smiling.
"PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!" Kathy started loudly.
"Fine," she said angrily. "I'm afraid of having a relationship, because I don't want to hurt him, and I'm not ready to go out with him for a week then get dumped, happy?! I just don't want either of those things to happen, and there is nothing you guys can do to change that, alright, so why don't you just drop it!" she snapped, stood up and ran out of the Great Hall.
Jen turned to Kathy and blinked, Kathy looked as confused as she did. "She thinks he's going to dump her after a week…" Jen said. "And she thinks she is going to hurt him." Kathy finished and sighed slightly. Lily had issues.
"SO THAT'S WHY!" Kathy yelled and slammed her fist on the table and glared at all the Fifth years who gave her odd looks.
[Meanwhile, at the other end of the table…]
"I mean, its not like I'm going to leave her after a week or something!" James grumbled and killed his food. He would never, ever do that to lily! He would not even dream it. No. Way. He loved her, and he would rather die instead of do that. Didn't she know that he would do anything for, and that was meant as in anything.
"I know you wont." Remus said, "Because you really like Lily." He said and nodded. "Right," Sirius pointed out, raising his eyebrows as though trying to convince James.
"Love." James corrected, "I love bloody Evans, and she wont even give me a chance." He cried and hit his head on the table while Remus and Sirius exchanged looks and patted him on the head.
"I don't know what you see in that girl, Prongs, I mean I think she's a bit off her rocker…with the anger and everything else!" he frowned. He thought Lily had an anger management problem, but hey, most people did. Or not. He didn't really mean what he said, but he hated seeing James like this over a girl.
James gave him a death glare. "There's nothing wrong with Lily!" he said.
"Sirius." Remus warned. He sighed.
"Fine...I'm going to ask Kathy and Jen why Evans is being evil." Sirius said, and stood up then started towards Jen and Kathy at the other end of the table.
"Hi." He said and grinned, and sat between them with the most adorable look on his face.
"Erm...hello." Jen said and raised an eyebrow at the way he was smiling. "Alright, what do you want?" she asked and rolled her eyes at him.
Kathy grinned. Here we go.
"Me? Oh I don't want anything, I just felt like saying hello to you." He said, the charming smile plastered on his handsome face.
Jen narrowed her dark gray eyes at him "And I'm a monkey, spill it. What do you want?" she asked impatiently and punched his shoulder lightly.
"Why does Evans hate James even after she confessed she liked him, I mean it's bit confusing, isn't it?" he frowned.
"We know why!" Kathy said.
"She has this theory in her head that James will dump her after a week, just like most of the other girls he used to date…and she said she didn't want to hurt him.." Jen said. "Do we HAVE to make another plan for this?" she mumbled to herself. She sighed slightly and shook her head.
"YES!" Sirius grinned "I HAVE GOT A PLAN!"
"Oh no.." Kathy mumbled.
"OH YEAH!" Jen cheered and looked at Sirius "Tell tell!" she said and looked at him patiently.
"Maybe we should tell both of them to meet us at the garders at ten, then we hide in that big tree…and we watch...Evans will either slap him, or snog him." Sirius informed them.
"B-but she'll kill us!" Kathy sputtered. NO WAY!
"Shut up Kath!" Jen said impatiently and turned back to Sirius.
"I have a feeling this WONT be good." Kathy said, feeling that I wont be good, oh no it wont, it was going to be far, faaar from that if anything.
"Yeah yeah yeah," Jen said, waving her hand impatiently and waiting for Sirius to go on.
"So are you in or out?" Sirius grinned.
"IN!" Kathy grumbled.
"I'm gonna tell the guys, James just left!" Sirius smiled and ran over to Peter and Remus, and Kathy and Jen could see him talking to the excitedly.
" She won't like this." Kathy frowned.
"Yes, but its not like she'll stop talking to us!" Jen said. "And, who said that she had to know it was us?" Jen smirked and shrugged slightly. It was true. If no one was gonna tell her, how was she to know?
"Mental.." Kathy muttered, shaking her head and standing up.
"Where to?" Jen asked.
"Common room..I want to get something before Divination." Kathy answered and hurried off.
Jen shrugged and continued with her food.
At the other end of the table, Sirius, Remus and Peter were making plans very quietly, in low voices so no one else could hear them, "….yes, we'll tell him we want to meet him there to plan a prank!" Sirus said and grinned "And I don't know what the girls are telling Lily…eh..Prongs will be mad if she slaps him..but ohwell..it could turn out the other way, you know, I mean she DOES like him after all." Sirius said thoughtfully.
"Yes, yes I know." Remus said and nodded "But we just cant let them see us in that tree, so im using the Disillusionment Charm again, alright?" he asked Peter and Sirius.
