C.6 Of Muggles and Witches
A/N: Hmm. I keep writing and writing, but I've been putting up the chapters all this weekend. Iono. Anyways, I'll upload yet another chapter that I had written and then two more that I finished today. One I finished late last night, but still. Here ya go:
Sarah roamed the halls following Lily. She sighed. So far, they had traveled through most of the classrooms and she didn't know how to get to any of them! Well, maybe that's a good thing, she thought. She was still stuck on the question of what to do with her magic situation. Maybe she could hide. They might think she was afraid to be starting a whole new school. She didn't want to leave. No, not with that boy here. Plus, what if he really was Remus Lupin? Lily exists, doesn't she? Not unless this is all some sort of twisted dream. It would be a rather good dream, but waking up would be the hardest thing she ever did.
'This is the Transfiguration classroom.' Lily snapped Sarah from her dreaming. 'Oh,' she said after glancing at the time. 'We better be heading to the Great Hall for supper.'
'Huh? Yeah, ok,' Sarah said, following Lily to a set of stairs. She didn't pay attention. She should have, but couldn't. The boy wasn't foremost on her thoughts as much as the problem with magic was. Maybe if she studied some of the magic words and purposefully got things wrong so as nothing would happen? She knew Wingardium Leviosa, well, if it was a real spell.
She sighed. Where is the library? Maybe she could ask Lily where it is. Her stomach grumbled. Well, it would have to wait until after she had grabbed some grub. Lily sat down by the girl, the one she had met earlier, Jasmine. Yeah, Jasmine McCormick, she thought to herself.
She sat down next to Lily but Jasmine was on the other side. Oh well, she thought as Lily faced towards her friend to talk. She probably isn't excluding me on purpose. Besides, I have problems to fix. What the hell am I to do about this magic? This is a problem. Thanks for the comment, Captain Obvious. I don't believe this! I am arguing with myself. MYSELF!!
She shook her head in disgust. It's one thing to have a problem but then to make fun of yourself? What in the world is my problem? She sighed. She wasn't going to get anywhere tonight. The best she could do is just to go to the library.wait. There was always the Room of Requirements. That might be able to help her. She shook her head. It wouldn't be able to give her the power to wield magic. But it could give her the books she needed to study.
She sat for a few pondering where she might find it, neglecting the food in front of her. Her stomach growled in protest. She stopped, realizing she'd barely touched the food in front of her. The Room of Requirements can wait, she thought to herself. Right now is time to eat! With that she picked up her fork and began eating the mashed potatoes on her plate.
She finished early and sat contemplating about where she might find the Room of Requirements. The Come and Go Room as called by Dobby. Dobby! That's it.no wait.Dobby would be under the care of the Malfoys. Plus, even if she did find him, he probably doesn't know about it now. He most likely learned of it when he arrived.
But where did he say it was? Hmm. The sixth, no seventh, floor. But where on it? Every floor where she had traversed on toady had been rather large, and she didn't even see the entire floor! What was she going to do? Exploring the entire seventh floor was out of the question. But she would have to anyways, wouldn't she? She still didn't know where she was going. Besides, how would she go to the Common Room to sleep? She'd need the password and she'd need to know how to get back.
She sighed. She'd have to go with Lily. Speaking of Lily, where is she? Jasmine was no longer two seats down and Lily had disappeared as well.
Oh well, Sarah thought hopefully. This gives me an excuse to talk to that hot guy. She looked down to where he had sat earlier and, to her surprise, found Lily. She shouldn't have been surprised. James was Remus' friend and she would marry James. They were the parents of Harry after all!
She shook her head in disbelief of her stupidity. How could she have thought such things? Of course Lily wouldn't have abandoned her. Dumbledore would be furious about it. But like it all matters; she'd be sent home tomorrow when they learned she had the magic capabilities of a squib!
She laughed once she thought this. Sent home? She was probably already home snuggled in dreamland. No, better yet, Katyland. She'd be residing all comfortably in Sarah City, Katyland. She laughed as she thought of her friend back home, all of her friends back home and if they could only see her know. She was living her dream, well, sort of. Remus hadn't professed his love for her yet. If he did that.IF.then she'd be in seventh heaven.
She sighed. I wonder how many people are looking at me like I'm some sort of nutcase? She glanced around. Much to her shock, no one even noticed her. Hmm. Shouldn't more people be interested in the 'new kid?' Wasn't that the way things worked? Maybe they saw her laughing at herself and decided it would be best to keep away.
She shook her head at herself, as Lily looked over, disappointed to have to leave James so soon. Lily looked at James and then at Sarah. She whispered something into his ear. Sarah looked over to see that much. She didn't want to be a trouble, really she didn't. But she just couldn't help it. Maybe when she goes to the Room of Requirements she could get a map of the school to help her out. It wouldn't even need to be complete, just so long as it could get her to where she needed to go.
Lily walked over to where Sarah was sitting. 'Would you like to go to the Common Rooms? I mean, if you're done and all.'
Sarah smiled. 'Sure. We can go to the Common Rooms. I need to know where that is anyways. Plus it's been a long day.' She faked a yawn. Why the hell not? If Lily believed she'd be fine by herself or asleep, then it was good for her. First off, she didn't want Lily to follow her around. But primarily, Sarah could tell that she wanted to talk with James or snog him or something. She wasn't sure of the 'or something' but it didn't really matter.
She stood up and followed Lily out of the Hall. She caught up with her and they headed out of the door and up a marble staircase. They traveled through tapestries and sliding walls and then up a few more staircases. She was really worn by the time she made it to a long corridor. At the end of this corridor she saw a portrait of none other than the Fat Lady.
They traveled down the length of the passageway in quiet. The whole way up Lily had asked about muggles in America. Thank God it was muggles and not witches, which she asked about. Sarah would not have known how to answer any questions about witches in America. Yet another thing for me to research, she thought sighing.
The fat lady in the pink silk dress asked, 'Password?'
'Flaming lizards,' Lily replied. Then to Sarah she said, 'you'll need to remember that. You may not be with anyone one time when trying to get in. it probably won't be for a while, but you never know!' She winked at her. 'Also, if you don't mind and all, I'd like to hang out with some, err, friends.' She hastily added, 'I'll show you to the room you'll be staying at though, first.'
Sarah smiled. 'It's fine. You've done a lot for me so far and I bet you'll do more. I can't thank you enough.' She smiled mischievously, 'besides, I know you want to spend some time with your boyfriend-' she pretended to think about it '-James Potter, right?'
Lily blinked and then blushed. 'Yes, I'd like to spend some time with him. But tell me, how did you know that we're dating?'
'Oh, I heard it around,' she wasn't lying. She did read about it in one of J. K.'s five books, but she was almost positive that girl Jasmine had mentioned it.
She crawled into the Common Room after Lily. They walked to a set of stairs and clambered up to a nice oak door at the top. Lily opened the door and pointed to the one bed that had nothing near it, only reminding Sarah that she had no clean clothes for tomorrow.
The room was pretty and if she got bored, Lily informed her that she could always hang out in the Common Room. Also, if she needed anything, someone could always find Lily for her. Then she left. Sarah stood there and watched her leave.
Now I will personally thank all of my wonderful readers, err, and reviewers.
Twin Kats: Thanks for being the daring first one! ;)
Janina Edwards: You do know that Sarah is my friend and really exists, right? Of course you do! I just get too anal for my own good.
Neoma: Thank you ^-^ I have a cool fan fic *gushes*
Yep. All 3 of them.too darn impatient to let chapters I have written sit for a week like I was planning on. *shrugs* oh well. Maybe I'll have more at the end??
