Here it is! Chapter 6! Thank you to everyone who reviewed! You guys are
great!
I stared at him. And stared. And stared. I didn't know how to react. Nobody had ever said anything like that to me before. My mind swirled and faltered. I became nauseous and dizzy. My eyes became unfocused. And then, I fainted. I don't know why.
************ We stared at each other yet again. She seemed to be looking right through me. Suddenly, she fainted. I rushed to help her up.
"Lily?! Lily?! Wake up!"
I picked her up. Wow, she's skinny. I thought. She doesn't eat much. Then again, I wouldn't either if I were in her shoes. I opened the portrait hole and lifted her out.
"Oh my! What have you done to her?!?! Tell me this instant!" She said sharply.
I ignored her. I quickly rushed her to the hospital wing. Déjà vu. I thought to myself. I would have laughed if I hadn't seen the looks on other people's faces. I tried to ignore them.
"Whoa Prongs! What happened to her? What'd you do?" Sirius said, suddenly interested.
"What happened?" Remus asked.
"No time to explain. See you guys later." I said all in a rush.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" An oh-too-familiar voice said.
*************** I was in my own dreamland. I heard voices, but I didn't care what they were. I was in heaven. No care in the world at all. I felt a warm sensation, not the cold empty one. I was so relaxed. But unfortunately, it didn't last.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" A voice full of ice said. I heard through the first layer. He was concerned. Whoever he was.
"Go away Snivellus. I'm busy."
"I see."
I opened my eyes slowly. I saw the warmest, brownest eyes ever. I soon came back to reality. Cold, hard reality.
"Let go of me!" I tried to push him away.
"Okay." He dropped me and my butt hit the ground hard.
I looked up at his eyes. They were laughing at me. Everyone was laughing. I narrowed my eyes at him.
"Very funny Potter. Haha." My eyes full of hatred. I thought he might have been something else. But, boy was I wrong.
I got up dusted my clothes off very daintily. Then, with all the force, all the anger and hatred I had, I put it into a punch and just hit him square in the face. Everything was silent.
"I hope that leaves a mark." I said. And then I ran. I ran away. Just like I did with everything in my life. In times like these, I would always go to my journal.
"Shit." I remembered of course that I left my journal at the place where now, I didn't know where it was. I decided to look for it. I swore to myself I would find it before anybody else did.
************* Her fist hit my jaw with force I didn't know she had. I fell to the ground.
"I hope that leaves a mark." She said with coldness. I would have winced but I couldn't.
She then ran so fast, it was like she wasn't ever there. People started to clear away. Sirius, Remus, and Peter came over to me.
"Man she got you good, eh Prongs?"
"Shut up Padfoot!"
They helped me up. I knew I was a jerk. I knew she wouldn't ever forgive me. I sighed. What wouldn't I do to be able to take everything back?
"So you up to any mischief tonight?" Sirius asked.
"Umm. I'm tired. I'm just going to go to bed."
Everyone turned their heads to me. They all looked at me strangely.
"Are you okay Prongs?" Remus asked.
"Yeah. Of course. I'm just tired."
"Whatever." Sirius said.
************ I had gone down many corridors, turned many turns, and meet many dead ends. I sighed. I leaned against the wall and slid to the floor. It was no use. I would never find that same portrait.
Of a sudden, I saw a dark black haired girl walk by.
"Bridgette?"
"Lily?"
"What are you doing here Bridgette?"
"I could ask you the same."
"I was just looking for something and I suppose I got lost. What are you doing here?"
"Ummm. I was just.. Taking a walk."
I looked at her suspiciously. Something was up. I could feel it. I decided not to take it any further.
She then sat next to me.
"If something was up you would tell me right?"
"Uhhh. Yeah.sure. Why do you ask?"
"It's just that you've been so detached from us. I feel like I'm not you're best friend anymore. I feel like you're hiding something."
"Why would you think that?" I asked. I somehow felt.I didn't know how to describe it. I felt like.. She cared about me? Was that it?
"Well, like, for example, you try to commit suicide? What the heck was that about? And then James Potter saving you? Twice? And then you just don't ever hang out with us anymore."
Then a light clicked in my head.
"Do you like Potter? Is that what this is about? Because nothing is between us."
"No! Why would you think that?"
"I don't know. But if it was something like that, would you tell me?"
"Why would I tell you? It's like you're not even my friend anymore! You're a stranger to me now okay? Got that?" with that she got up and turned away. She walked down a corridor which I had known to be a dead end and kept walking.
I expected her to come walking back but she never did. That's strange I thought. I got up and walked down the same corridor. There it was. The dead end with the window. I opened the window but she was no where in sight. Had I known that there were a pair of eyes watching me, it would have been different.
************ I lay in bed thinking back about what I did. God, could I have been anymore stupider? Then I realized that her journal was still there. Should I go back to retrieve it? Or would that get me in a worse situation? She probably can't remember where the portrait was.
I got up and got my invisibility cloak.
"Where are you going Prongs?" whispered Remus.
"Out."
"Wait, Prongs, let me go with you. Please. I want to know where you go now everynight."
I sighed. "Fine."
He slipped under the invisibility cloak and we went down to the common room, out the portrait hole, and down the many corridors to get to my destination.
"Where are we going Prongs?"
"You'll see. And when we get there, pretend you're distressed and ask to go in."
"Why?"
"Just do it."
When we got there, I took off the invisibility cloak off Remus. I pretended to cry. The lady in the portrait woke up.
"Now, now dear child, what's wrong?"
"My...My...friend..and I...we had a fight. And now he isn't my friend anymore."
"Oh, it's ok. You guys will get over it soon. Come on in."
We walked in and when I got inside, I took off the cloak.
"Now, will you at least tell me why we're here and what's going on?"
"Well, first the reason we're here, is because of this." I help up the dark green journal for him to see. "Second, I just wanted to get this for the person it belongs to."
"And that would be?"
"Lily Evans."
"Oh."
"Come on. Let's go."
I slipped on my cloak and we walked out. We got all the way to Gryffindor Tower without mayhem. I took off the invisibility cloak.
"Do you like Lily?"
"She's.interesting I guess you could say."
"Oh."
I went up the girl's dormitory grabbing hold of the rail when it turned into a slide and noted that not one, but two girls in the fifth year girl's dormitory were empty. I put the journal on Lily's bed and made my way back downstairs.
I went up to bed and fell asleep immediately.

Yes! I finished! I know the ending sucked but oh well. I'm tired and I'm not up to thinking of suspense right now. But I do have good ideas for the chapters ahead. You'll just have to wait and see. Muahahahahahahah! I know. I'm evil. But please REVIEW! Thank you, and have a nice day.
