Chapter 8: Betrayal, Spitballs, and Crushed Kitties
"Scylla? That. what exactly did Scylla tell you?" Lily said, fuming, her face the color of her face in pure fury.
"Lil, maybe it was some kind of mistake -" Jason tried, but Lily shot an angry look at him and he slid further down in his chair.
"Listen, I just don't think you should just start spreading rumors on the first day, so if you could just -" Brian began.
"We are not spreading rumors! About you, about me and Jason, about Kristy, none! Okay? If anyone's spreading rumors, it's those Scylla and Tonya brats! So bugger off!" Lily screamed hotly. Those red heads sure have hot tempers. Kristy and Jason both knew that well. too bad Brian didn't.
"So what? You're going to accuse someone you don't even know? For all we know you could just be trying to switch the blame off you -" Lily stood up, eyes flashing. She was short tempered. this Brian bloke was really pushing her nerves hard to a point that Lily was out of control.
"Listen, you don't go back to your pretty little friend over there and shut your big mouth, before I make you, and you will land on your pathetic RUMP!"
"Lil, maybe you should -" Christine began, but Jason shook his head. He gulped and had a warning look in his eyes.
"I'm not afraid of some little wimpy girl who happens to think she's all- that. try me!" Brian said. Lily countered by kicking him in his shins. Hard. Her heavy boots making direct contact.
Brian wailed in pain, glared at Lily, then hopped back to his group of Ravenclaw friends. Lily waved Remus, Melissa, and Lora over as they entered. They quickly explained what Scylla and Tonia had done, and they each looked just as angry as Lily had, but Jason doubted they would release the anger in a similar way to Lily.
"I was sitting right next to you! You told them that the chances of you and Jason ever going out were, like, nil! No offense, of course, Jason," Melissa seethed angrily to Lily, shaking her head.
"Speak of the Devil." Remus muttered as Scylla and Tonya entered, giggling at James and Sirius.
Lily glared as they came waltzing over. Lily glanced, thankfully at the remaining two seats. Surely, James and Sirius would sit there, and not give Scylla and Tonya a chance to sit with them.
Then she realized what she'd thought. Honestly, if she'd said it aloud, it would have sounded kind of funny. Her mentally begging James and Sirius to sit with them. but she was pulled from her musing by Kristy's angry voice.
"There is NO way those two brats are sitting anywhere near here!" she shouted angrily, glaring as James and Sirius pulled up chairs.
"Where the heck did that come from, Kristy?" Sirius asked. He turned to Tonya who put on a hurt look.
"Oh don't play innocent with me, Stevens! You and Thomas have been spreading rumors about me and Lily!" she accused hotly.
"Why would I such a mean thing? I promise, Jamie, Jason, Sirius, Remi, I promise we didn't!" Tonya whined. Jason looked at her in disgust. He knew Lily too well. he knew for a fact she would never say anything like that.
"I heard her full and well, last night. I thought it was true! So I was just talking to my friend -" Scylla began in an innocent tone. Lily's eyes weren't the only ones boiling up, but Jason's as well.
"She said nothing of that! I've known Lily for. longer than I want to try and calculate! I know for a fact, from all the people that I've witnessed her response to from that very question about us! You little brats have no place saying that! And I know Kristy well enough; she wouldn't do that either!" Jason was fuming, and when just glanced upon, to someone just walking by, he might have looked as if he was utterly overreacting. But he couldn't take it when people used other people and stomped all over them, amused by the anguish.
"Oh come on! Don't give me that one Jason. it's so lame. You may not realize it, but your precious Lily isn't quite as sweet as you seem to have thought, the little mudblood -" Scylla had pushed a little too hard. Lily, Remus, Sirius, and all the rest got very angry. They weren't about to just let her call Lily that. They knew they were up to no good after that.
"Just go away, you little unworthy, snot-headed snot heads!" Kristy said, unable to think of anything much worse, as she did not curse. The two looked disbelievingly at her, until the boys shouted 'go!' rather angrily. After they left, Lily couldn't help glancing over at her cousin, the corners of her mouth turning up, a gleam in her eye. "What?" Kristy said, trying to look serious.
"Thanks. but "Snot-headed snot head"?" Lily inquired innocently, a questioning look in her eye before they all started cracking up laughing histerically, unable to stop until a cat hopped mysteriously off McGonagall's desk. They all looked at it, interested. Lily leaned down to pet it, but jumped harshly back as McGonagall appeared before them.
"Oh my gosh! Professor! You landed on the cat!" Sirius cried in despair. Lily was shocked by the transformation, so it was up to Melissa to slap him upside his thick, hollow head.
"You dim wit! She's an animagus! For God's sake. 'You landed on the cat!' Have you Ino/I sense at all?" she asked, Sirius replied with a sheepish grin, and Mcgonagall cleared her throat loudly.
"Yes, correct, Ms. McFlurgy, I believe it was?" McGonagall said. "Ten points to Gryffindor!" Melissa shot them all a grin, while Sirius muttered something that sounded remotely to the effect of 'show-off.' Mcgonagall continued. "This class you may find most difficult. A subject requiring hard work, and not such hard heads. You will find it mandatory that you pay attention. Any note passing, talking out of turn, or rude behavior over all will not be tolerated in this classroom. Am I understood? Any rule-breakers will find themselves seated in detention, and far less points in their hourglass, I'm warning you."
She continued droning on, and occasionally Lily would snap back to reality, but generally she was off in her own world. She'd been up late the previous night reading, and was really tired.
She sighed resignedly and looked up at the stern woman whacking her board with a pointer, obviously accumulating intensity to her point. Lily took out her parchment and attempted to take notes.
While she tried, her mind merely drifted off and she began doodling all over her parchment, listlessly.
Until something hit the back of her head and summoned her harshly back of reality.
A very wet something.
A very wet something that plopped it's mushy, gooey, papery self right into the back of her neck.
A something that felt very much like a spitball. Coming from someone just around the table.
An annoying, short someone with unruly, jet-black hair and glasses.
A very dead, annoying, short someone with unruly, jet-black hair and glasses. Whose glasses would be soon broken, courtesy of Lily.
"Potter." she growled as she turned around angrily to face the demon spawn sitting behind her, pretending to look innocent.
"Yes peanut?" James asked innocently.
***A/N- Yes I'm thinking the same thing. IWhere the heck did *peanut* come from?/I***
In response, James Harold Potter received a very large spitball to the face. Lily smirked.
And she turned around, continuing to take notes on Mcgonagall's behavioral lectures, the conduct expected of the class, and the general overview of the plans for the class over the next seven years.
But the plans she did not mention were the things they'd learn for life. The things that would effect them forever and past. The things that would sorrowfully and joyfully effect generations to come. The things that would haunt over them perpetually, that would matter for longer than just temporarily. That how your hair looks or how many pranks you play in a day do not matter. That over-working yourself was not the answer to life, and was not the only way to be successful. But to love, and cherish those around you, and to be honest with yourself and your loved ones was what really mattered in the rough course of Life.
