Chapter 6: Detention
-----
"Lily... Lily..." Alex said to her friend. Lily was sleeping on the couch, her homework spread across the table. Alex sighed.
"Lily! Get... up...!" She started shaking Lily who awoke with a start.
"What?! Where am I?!" Lily looked around wildly. "Oh," she said when she realized she was in the common room. Many passing first years giggled.
"Come on," Alex sighed as she helped Lily clean up her homework. "You hafta go to detention in a couple of minutes. Lily looked at her watch. 8:54 pm.
"Oh my gosh!" Lily shrieked as she rushed out of the common room. She ran down the hall to stairs as fast as she could. 8:56 pm. She hurried down the many flights of stairs. 8:59 pm. She sprinted over to the place where she and James were yelled at and collided into someone.
"Ouch," she squeaked as she hit the floor.
"What where your going, my love," a boy's voice said as he stuck out a hand to help her up. She looked up and found herself on the floor in front of James. She hesitantly took his hand and he helped her onto her feet.
"Right on time, Evans," he said looking at his watch.
"You were here early?" she asked him. He nodded with a grin on his face. "Well there's a first," she said to him.
"You're right...," he said scratching his chin. She couldn't help but giggle.
"I'm glad you too are having fun, because it ends now," came Professor Delwitt's harsh voice from behind them.
"Let's go!" she yelled as she passed them. They followed her out of the school and on to the dark grounds. When they arrived at the greenhouse, they saw three other people there: a teacher and two students. It was two boys. They looked like they were about twelve, in their second year.
"You will be joining these two in your detention." Delwitt pointed to the two kids.
"What are we doing?" one of them asked. He was average height with red hair and brown eyes.
"Hey! You were the two that started the food fight!" the second one yelled to Lily and James. James laughed and Lily blushed. This kid was a bit taller than the first. He had brown hair and almost black eyes.
"Yes, yes, yes," Delwitt rushed. "You will be helping Professor Petersburg plant a rare tree in a few places on the grounds. The third years will be using them for a Herboloy lesson."
"They're a rare breed," Professor Petersburg continued, a bit slower than Professor Delwitt. "They mostly grow in Spain, but can sometimes grow in an environment where they are under extreme care."
"What are they called, Professor?" Lily asked with curiosity.
"They're called 'hermoso blanco morada' trees," the professor answered. (A/N: that means 'beautiful white purple' in Spanish... wow, original)
"We're forgetting the reason we're down here," Professor Delwitt spat. Professor Petersburg handed each kid a packet while Delwitt shoved a bucket, water can, and a shovel into their hands. Petersburg took there wand and muttered "No magic" when he saw the confused looks on the four kids' faces.
"Start digging!" she yelled and she stomped into the greenhouse with Petersburg. (A/N: sry this is a really lame detention, I couldn't think of anything else)
"Jeez, what's bugging her?" the second year that recognized Lily and James asked.
"You see a difference from the way she always is? 'Cause I don't," James said. "What are your names anyway?"
The second year he was just talking to introduced himself first. "I'm Oliver."
"I'm Henry," the second one answered.
"I'm Lily," Lily said to the two of them. "Nice to meet you." Oliver and Henry smiled at her. Then Oliver turned to James.
"No need to introduce yourself... everyone knows who you are, James Potter."
James smiled. "I'm a legend." Lily and Henry had already started digging with the shovels. Lily sighed and James rushed over to her.
"Let me help you, my love," he said to her as he took the small shovel out of her hand and started digging. Lily sighed.
"I can do it myself, James. I'm not a damsel in distress." She took the shovel back from him.
"Will you go out with me?"
"NO!"
"Fine," he pouted. After about an hour (it took that long because James ran off into the forest and the other three had to go on a wild goose chase after him when it turned out he was hiding behind one of the first trees) they were done. They started walking up to the castle. The whole way up to the Gryffindor common room, James was explaining to Oliver and Henry the pranks he had pulled before they had come to Hogwarts.
Lily listened to James describe some of the funniest things to happen at Hogwarts. She smiled to herself remembering the ridiculous things James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter had done. She would never admit it to anyone, but she loved the pranks they had pulled. Sure, she was always serious and upset at them when they happened, but inside she was usually laughing. As she strolled down Memory Lane, she absent-mindedly walked up to her dormitory, changed into her pajamas, and got into her bed. No more than 10 minutes later, she was asleep.
----- Ew, I hate this chapter. The only reason I wrote it is because I needed to write about the detention. I know, I know... the detention they got was REALLY lame. But everyone else makes them clean the dungeons or something and I wanted to be original (just like the tree name lol)... though cleaning the dungeons is WAY more interesting than PLANTING A DUMB TREE! Ok, so now you know how I feel about this chapter. Come on people: REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!
p.s. - The next chapter will be better than this. Promise.
