Chapter 3- "Morning After"

*So sick last night, I didn't hardly know my mind

So sick last night, I didn't know my mind

I had a drink of bad licker, almost made me blind*

"Hey Sirius!" I yelled as I walked down to the quiddich field. It was about four in the afternoon and I only just woke up. He turned around, waved, went to walk towards me and ended up tripping on his own feet and rolling down the hill. The fool.

"Aey mate, eh, is it just me or am I upside down?"

"Bloody hell." It wasn't an outraged scream, more of like I was stating a shocked fact. "Your still drunk!" He smiled goofy, and slapped his hand in the air.

"Do be silly, I'm only slightly intoxicated. Just enough to not have a hang over. Hate the bloody things, how about you? Enh? You look like shit mate." I sighed and sat down next to him. (he was laying upside down from the fall)

"I don't know, I woke up this morning and had no idea where, who, or what was happening or happened. And," I pointed to my face, "I got this, don't know how, but I got it."

"Oh! Well that's easy, I punched you." Sirius smiled and looked around like he was a three year old that had just spelled the word 'orange'. On the other hand, my jaw dropped. Causing me quite a lot of pain mind you.

"Why the shit did you do that!?" He shrugged and said

"Because you wanted to fight. You said 'Come on you stupid little elf! I'll stomp out your Christmas trees! To be quite honest I think you were a little drunk too mate, I mean Elves? Really, that's strange. Now if you had said turtles, then I would have known what you were talking about."

"Turtles?" Sirius jumped up fast

"You saw them too?! The stupid bastards! I knew I wasn't the only one who wasn't so smashed he was seeing things! Good thing we were sobered mate, or we wouldn't have seen who took my wallet! I watched em' I swear, I told them not to but they said they'd wax me if I told anyone. Damn turtles, nothing but a bunch or mutant ninjas is what they are!"

* * * "Ok, now the thing about television is that there are so many options to it." Lily could make any Monday seem fun. Not just because she was Lily, but because she was such a good teacher too. It was truly ingenious for them to let her teach this,. Not only did she already know the subject, but students tend to listen to other students more than teachers. Matt Lanks told me that last years class was boring as a used pencil.

"The television or 'T.V.' that the school has supplied us with has no channels since we are so far out into the country. BUT it does have a Video recording System or 'VCR' in it so we will be watching movis as soon as they are owled to me." Every one nodded in excitement. I myself have never seen a muggle movie and think it might be quite interesting.

*Bing, Bing, Bing,*

The bell rang and everyone started filing out of the classroom on to last period. Lily was at he desk locking it up and picking up her own class books. There were tons of them, no way was this girl able to take that many classes.

"Can I get that for you?" I asked, pointing at the books that weren't going to fit into her messenger bag. She smiled and asked

"Where are you going?"

"Well, where are you going?"

"East tower, DADA,"

"Well then, I guess we're going the same way. Would you like to break you arms Madame, or should I get those?" -My next class was all the way over on the other side of the castle by the way- She smiled and nodded to the books as if to say 'Be my guest.' . I picked them up and began walking with her over to the East tower.

"How many classes are you taking?! No way is this only six classes worth."

"Heh, well your right. It's ten classes worth."

"Good God girl, your almost made me drop the books when you said ten. Do tell me that your playing,"

"No, in fact I'm quite serious. You see, I have to take a make up coarse for the one I miss teaching you all, So that's the seventh book. Then there's the fact that I take two extra classes. And finally there's my remedial class."

"Oh, you teach remedials?"

"No, I take one though," She smiled as I felt my jaw drop.

"YOU take a dumb person class?" The smile vanished and her expression grew solemn.

"James, remedials aren't for dumb people. People are just that, people. Were not super humans or all ingenious. We have faults, each and every one of us, and that's what makes life so beautiful. One of my faults just so happens to be Herbology. But I know that, and I'm doing all the work I can to fix it. You see, the people in the remedials aren't the dumb ones James, It's the people who are barely passing and have too much pride to educate themselves that are dumb."

I nodded at the deepness in her voice as if I understood. I didn't though, my father had told me when I went into Hogwarts that if I had to take one single remedial he would single handedly kill me himself.

"Well we're here, thank you for carrying my load. Funny how time flys when your talking isn't it?"

"No, it's not that funny, actually I don't think it's comical at all."

"No James," Lily rolled her eyes at me and said "I mean funny like strange, not funny like 'Oh My God! That was so funny that I'm rolling on the ground with bamboo shoots growing out my arse laughing like a Monkey on speed." I tell you, I may like the girl but she sure has got a strange sense of humor that one does.. Sighing I waved good by and made my long walk back to the other side of the castle.

It's turning winter and the days are getting shorter. The animals are getting ready to hibernate, and my life is taking some turns. I feel the road curving underneath me. The question is, How fast will the turn be? And how long is it going to take for the road to straighten again?

*I had a dream, I thought I was in hell

Yeah I had a dream, thought I was in hell

But baby when I looked around, your mouth was open like a well*
