Voices
Things took a long while to settle down after the ball. Both Lily and James were very upset about their parents and they got lots of support from the others. Not much else happened apart from another deatheater attack in London. A first year did decide to liven things up a bit one afternoon. Gilderoy Lockhart gave his own choreographed version of the muggle song 'fame' which was then d.j ed by Aries Black.
The seventh years weren't getting along very well at the moment either. Katie was jealous, really jealous and didn't hide it. Sirius was getting on really well with Kate and what made it worse is that she seemed like a really nice person. It made Katie angry watching them playing outside in the snow or laughing with each other. Vicky noticed this straight away and did as best she could to steer Katie away from the happy couple's path. Lily was slower to catch on and to her it looked like the other two were leaving her out. It had happened one time in their second year and Lily was convinced it was happening again. She spent most of her time with Sarah and Anna who spent most of their time hanging round the Quidditch pitch, Anna was normally practising and Sarah was always looking for boys.
The boys were having trouble too. James was also jealous of Kate. He hadn't spoken to Sirius for ages. Sirius spent all of his time with Kate and so James started hanging around with Remus, which meant fewer laughs and more library.
One day in transfiguration Lily sat tently listening and copying down notes about complex anamagi, turning people into other animals and animals into people. Lily was good at tranfiguration but definitely not the best in the class. She was trying to turn her mouse into a person but she couldn't get it right, sometimes the mouse grew human arms and legs and sometimes the human had whiskers and a tail. James spotted her and went to help her. He was showing her the right wand movements.
"Bet you like that, don't you Evans" a voice said. Lily was shocked and looked around to see who had said it but there was no owner of the voice.
"Lily?" James asked.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"What? It's me James!"
"I'm in your head Evans, better get used to it, I'll be here for a while!"
"What? No! Go away!" she shouted.
"Sorry Lils, I'll go then," James said looking sad.
"Not you James!" Lily said.
"Who then? Lils are you alright?" James asked.
"Lily Evans you will die!" the voice said.
"NO! Stop it! Leave me alone!" she screamed.
"Ok, I will but you should go to the hospital wing" said James who had taken her hand and was trying to drag her out of the room.
"Not you James! I'll be alright!" she said.
"See you around Mudblood" the voice said.
"Lily? Lily?" she collapsed into James' arms and started crying. "Can I take her to Madame Coo?" James asked Professor Dreamstone, who nodded worriedly. He carried her off to the hospital wing.
At the end of the lesson Katie and Vicky left to see Lily but Sirius dashed in front of them.
"What? Dashing off to your precious Slytherin?" Katie asked scornfully.
"For your information Felton, yes I am" he said and proceeded to leave the room but she stopped him.
"Well I don't care" he took a deep breath and said, "sure you don't"
"I don't," she said defensively.
"That's nice," he said boredly.
"Shut up!" she shouted.
"No! Why should I?" he said.
"Because I say" she said, trying to think quickly and groaned at how bad her comeback was.
"Who cares what you say or think! You're just jealous!" he resolved.
"I am so NOT!" she screeched.
"Think whatever you want" he said.
"MOVE! I'm going to the common room." She pushed past him and Vicky followed shrugging at her brother. Sirius sighed at went to find Kate.
