Chapter 8: H-Y-P-E-R!
-----
After what happened in the Shrieking Shack, Lily totally ignored James. He asked her to the dance numerous times and received one of two responses: her walking away or her GLARING and walking away. After getting tired of this, James asked Tracy Greenburg, a Hufflepuff in their year. She had short brown hair, average height, and was fairly good looking. When he asked her, she had squealed, said yes, and rushed off to tell her friends.
Sirius had asked Julia who obviously said yes. Remus and Alex were going together also (they insisted they were going as friends... but who knows? *wink wink*), and Samantha had reluctantly agreed to go with Peter.
"So... let's be the English Quidditch team!" Julia suggested to Remus, Alex, and Lily as the discussed what they were going to be on the couch. James perked up from across the common room.
"Did someone say Quidditch?" he asked hopefully. Lily rolled her eyes. 'Was that the only thing he thought about? That and girls...'
Remus answered James. "Uh huh! We're gonna be the English Quidditch team for Halloween!"
"You can be it too!" Alex suggested to him. He nudged Sirius and they agreed.
"Hey Peter," Remus called to his friend as he entered, "you wanna-"
"I'm already dressing up with Samantha," he told them.
"What are you guys going to be?"
Peter turned bright pink. "Uh... um... well, it's kinda... embarrassing..." he muttered.
"Come on," James said. "Nothing can be worse than a... I dunno... a bunny or something!" Peter turned red. James, Sirius, and Remus burst out laughing.
"You're kidding!" Sirius cried. "A bunny?!"
"It was Samantha's idea," he told them.
"Remind me why you're going with Samantha again," Sirius said to him. Remus, James, and Sirius hated her. Remus, at least, was polite. Peter was the only boy that actually liked her.
"I heard that, Sirius," Samantha called from the top of the stairs. "Peter and I are going to you're Head Boy and Girl room to work on our costume, Lily. How did you get in again? Flick the dog's nose?"
"Can you say that a bit louder, I don't think the people in China could hear you!" James hissed.
"Oh, piss off, James, there's only a couple of stupid first years in here," she spat. And with that she stomped out of the room with Peter running after her.
"Someone's in a good mood," Alex said in a sarcastic voice. "She's such a bloody bitch lately."
"Lately?" Remus asked her and the girls giggled. They continued talking about their costumes.
The next day they had Muggle Studies. The class was learning about muggle books and was reading Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll. Lily read along as a sheet of paper appeared on her desk. She picked it up and read it.
~Hello Lily! This is Gilderoy Lockhart. Would you like the dazzling me to accompany you to the dance?~
Lily thought about it. She didn't exactly like him. He was more arrogant that 5 James Potters for Merlin's sake! But, it would make James jealous that she's going with him, which is always a good thing.
~Fine~ she wrote to him. She smiled at her and winked. She put of a fake smile.
"'The Walrus and the-'" James started reading.
"Haha, WALRUS!" Sirius laughed and he started walking around, pretending to be one by sticking his two index fingers over his mouth.
"Excuse me, Mr. Black," Professor McGonagall (A/N: I say she taught Muggle Studies before Transfiguration so deal with it!) yelled.
"Yes?" he asked her as he stood up straight.
"I suggest you sit down before you miss your lines as Tweedle Dum." As he slowly walked back to his seat, she added. "Oh, and 5 points from Gryffindor."
"Damn!" he muttered under his breath.
"Yeah, that's what you get for interrupting me, Tweedle dumbass!" James laughed.
"EXCUSE ME MR. POTTER! I WILL NOT TOTERATE THAT LANGUAGE. ANOTHER 5 POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR!" McGonagall shrieked. Everyone stopped laughing and sat quietly as they finished reading.
Later that day, James, Lily, Remus, Sirius, Alex, and Julia returned to the common room to plan out what they were going to wear.
"Come on, let's not do anything to the uniforms! Especially not skirts," James protested against the girls.
"FINE!" Julia finally yelled. "You wouldn't be wearing a skirt anyway, so I don't know why you care!" Alex had run off to write a letter to her cousin, the Keeper for the English team, asking if there was anyway to get uniforms.
"I still say we dress up as tissue boxes," Sirius muttered and Remus snorted.
Dinner was particularly loud. It was two days until the dance, and everyone was talking about their costumes.
"I'm gonna be a tissue box!" a Ravenclaw exclaimed just as Sirius and Julia walked into the hall.
"Hey! He stole my idea!" Sirius said. Julia rolled her eyes.
"Hey you guys!" Remus screamed in their ears as he jumped on them from behind.
"Oh! My ear!" Julia whimpered, holding her left ear.
"Heehee!" Remus yelled as he bounced to his usual set.
"What with you, Moony?" Sirius asked him as he sat down.
"Huh? I dunno! What's with me?! Come on, you can tell me!" Remus excitedly yelled, his eyes wide with enthusiasm.
"Alright, who spiked his juice at lunch?" Sirius asked, looking around the table. Everyone shook their head. Remus looked at his plate and started giggling.
"Hey... hey, Padfoot... look at this... this PLATE!" he yelled. And with that he started laughing hysterically, like it was the funniest thing in the world. "Get it? PLATE?!"
"Remus, are you ok?" Alex asked as she took the seat next to him.
"I'm fine!" his happy expression then turned to a frown. "Why? What happened? Huh?"
"Nothing! You're just acting strange."
He perked up again. "OH!" he said, beaming at his friends. Peter saw him acting like this as he walked up to the table and turned red (as usual).
"Remus...?" he asked nervously.
"Hmm?" Remus responded, a piece of spaghetti dripping out of his mouth. He saw this and slurped it back in, making a loud noise.
"What have I done?" Peter murmured to himself, but James heard this.
"What HAVE you done, Peter?" he asked maturely, hoping to impress Lily. She didn't notice.
"I was trying to summon some food onto my bed, but-" he started.
"I need a piece of parchment!" Remus suddenly screamed.
"Why?" Lily asked looking up.
"So that I can throw it at the plate," he answered seriously as if it was the most obvious thing in the word. "Duh."
Lily shot him a nasty look. "Hmm. I should've known. I'm so stupid," she said sarcastically. She was still upset about what she said in the Shrieking Shack. She turned back to her dinner.
"Go on, Peter," James said.
"So... I said the wrong spell and hit him with it." He looked at Remus, who now had a bowl on his head and was screaming "Alex! Look at my hat!"
"We should take you to the Infirmary," Alex told him. With that, she grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the hall.
