GREEN EYES
CHAPTER 19-STARTLING REVELATIONS
Lily slapped Sirius across the face, and Jamie elbowed him in the stomach. Ms. Green had the strangest look on her face, and Lily was afraid of what she was going to do to Sirius. Half the class had burst into laughter, and the other half was holding laughter back, hoping that they wouldn't have to feel the wrath of Ms. Green. James and Remus didn't exactly know what was happening, but they knew enough from Lily and Jamie's reactions that they knew not to ask who ed is in the future. Sirius still wasn't sure what was going on, he had thought that asking who ed was would be a perfectly relevant question, but he was beginning to change his mind.
"Who's ed?? WHO'S ED??? Do you think you're funny Mr..." Ms. Green paused and looked down at the seating chart that they had passed around. "Black. I am disapointed in you. How could you possibly use humor in this class? You are going to be one of those people that kills others driving, I'm sure of that. It would be good to fail you right now!" Sirius knew that this was not the best situation to be caught in. He looked at Lily and then decided on something that might please the teacher.
"Why do mug- I mean people want to drive vacumns if they can kill people?" asked Sirius. The whole class started laughing, and Sirius immediatly remember that people drove CARS, not vacumns. Oops.
"I don't know about you guys, but I myself have never driven a vacumn cleaner before. What kind of acceleration can you get on one of those?" asked Ms. Green sarcastically. Unfortunatly, Sirius missed the sarcasm. He figured that muggles drove vacumn cleaners also, so he tried to make up a good answer for that question.
"Well, I can go, um, about 17 milimeters per gallon," said Sirius. He then recieved his second slap from Lily. The class laughed again. Lily turned, expecting Ms. Green to have a look on her face like she was going to shoot someone, but this look was different. She tried to keep a straight face, and then she did the thing that Lily least expected her to do. She started laughing. And she kept on laughing. It was like she couldn't stop. The students started at ther in amazement, until she finally stopped and started talking to them for awhile.
"I'm sorry. Really, I am. All that stuff I told you at the beginning of the class, well ignore that. I want this to be a fun class, not a class that you guys dread coming to. Just seeing if I could fool you, but I guess Sirius here saw right through me." said Ms. Green. Sirius got a sort of smug look on his faced and turned to Lily, looking at her gloatingly.
"Yeah, knew it the whole time," said Sirius. "Just trying to see how long you would last. I figured you out, didn't I? I got you good!"
"Uh-huh, I believe you Sirius," said James sarcastically. "I'm also the king of England. Everyone bow to me, right now!"
"Ok boys, settle down. We will be starting our first lesson today. As you can see, I have covered the floor and walls of this class room in gray paper. I did that so I wouldn't ruin the suprise for you. Now, if you will move and take those horrid desks out of the room, we can see what's under there." said Ms. Green. The class did as they were told, and were amazed at what they saw when they looked down. This was by far the biggest classroom they had ever seen, and the space had been put to good use. Instead of carpet, the floor had mini roads running all over it. The roads were about four and a half feet wide and seperated in the middle. There was a place that had a lot of pillows, and a rather large phone booth in the back that held a table that would seat two. Ms. Green looked at their shocked faces and smiled.
"Driving is not just about knowing the laws, it's about being able to use them when you are driving. In this class, you will 'drive' around, learn traffic laws, and such. The place where the pillows are is where you will attend lectures. The phone booth is where I will test you on the things that you have done. The tests will be oral. For your final, you must cut out ten car accidents out of a newspaper and tell how they could have been prevented. You also must choose one topic to write a presentation on, which will be something about what the most important thing to consider while driving is. During the first three lessons, you will learn the rules of the road. On the day of the first lesson, you will go to get your license. Then, after those lessons, we will practice our driving on the streets of London, so make sure to pay attention. Although this class is meant to be fun, you will have to study the drivers handbook, as I assume that everyone will want to pass the test. Any questions?" said Ms. Green. The class shook their heads no.
"Ok, that's great. I have constructed these 'cars' for you to learn on," said Ms. Green. She pulled out a box that was about the right size for two people to sit in. It had wheels on the bottom and a steering wheel. The 'car' was about two feet wide and four feet long. They were also completly blank.
"You and your partner will decorate this car, and make the things that you will need in the car. It's covered in the first chapter of the driving guide. No boy girl partners either. So, have fun!" said Ms. Green. Lily quickly teamed up with Jamie, Sirius with James, and Remus with a guy named Jeff that he had meet on the bus ride. Soon they were decorating their cars.
Lily was halfway done painting their car a cool blue color when she spotted Sirius and James' car. She wasn't the only one, many people were looking at it, and for a good reason. They had painted their car black, with bright red flames up the sides and on the hood. On the back, their license plate said "pimp mobile." Lily rolled her eyes at James, although she was sure that the name was Sirius' idea. There was also a red velvet seat cushion, a steering wheel grip and cup holders. Lily was sure that those came from a magic wand. The rule at Hogwarts was that 4th years and up could practice magic during summer break. They were very lucky, as that rule was changing very soon. Actually, they were the last class that got the privilage. They were allowed to practice magic this summer and next, but none of the other classes could.
After their 'cars' were done, they had to drive aroud the place, obeying all traffic laws, for fifteen minutes. Lily noticed that James and Sirius' car went much faster than all the other cars, and it had a horn. When the class was over, many people were mad at them for having traffic accidents, but everyone liked them anyway. It was just like Hogwarts, Lily, James, Sirius, Jamie, and Remus were the most popular people at the high school. It seemed like no time when the class was over until the next time. Lily had a lot of fun. Now that was going to be an interesing class.

"So girls, how did you like your first day of summer school?" asked Remus. He was talking to Crystal and Evelyn, who were seated in the back seat of the bus. Jamie was on the right side, sitting next to Remus. Next to Remus was Crystal, who was sitting next to Sirius, and Evelyn was sitting on the left end. Lily and James watched from the next seat.
"Oh, I'm sure they had a great time," said Sirius, putting his arms around both of their shoulders. "I mean, they were able to go to the same school as the perfect, hot, funny, talented, charming and let's not forget modest Sirius Black." Crystal laughed, and both her and Evie shrugged him off.
"So, I have a really weird question for you. Do you believe in magic?" asked Crystal. Sirius grinned over at Lily, and she gave him the look.
"Um, why should I believe in magic? Wouldn't someone notice? I mean, unless they had a whole government to keep it under wraps or something." said Sirius.
"Typical mu-ma-magic non believing answer," said Evie. Sirius laughed.
"Very articulate now, aren't we?" asked James. Lily didn't smile. Had Evie almost said muggle? Lily wasn't quite sure. Sirius seemed to pick up on this too.
"Uh-huh, and if there was real magic, all the witches and wizards would have owls dropping letters everywhere, trying to get them to forget or something." said Sirius. Crystal and Evie didn't catch this.
"Oh, yeah. The minister would have-" started Crystal, and then she quickly covered her mouth.
"You can't fool me," said Sirius. "If you didn't catch my name, it's Sirius Black. And you, my dears, are witches!"
A/N-Yeah, isn't that great! A cliffhanger. Are they witches or not? Did Sirius just make a huge mistake? And is Ms. Green on some kind of crack? Find out the answers to these and other fine questions in the next chap of Green Eyes! Seriously now, it will be out in a couple of days. Until then, as always, please review! I want to reach the 100 review mark.
