"And then, you should have seen the look on his face-"
"Poor Snivellus. I'd like to see that old hag Pomfrey get rid of this before his classes tomorrow!!"
"I was thinking we might try something like pink hair next."
I shook my head with a smile; they never do get tired of torturing him do they? One of these days I'll do something about it... One of these days... I sighed and resorted to digging through my bag for my book of Stars in the Southern Hemisphere.
"What do you think Moony ol' pal. Wouldn't I look stunning in pink?" Sirius was striking a pose with one hand tangled in his long black hair, while still managing a scowl nasty enough to do Snape justice.
Blink blink... He did not just... The hall was silent a few moments before the four of us burst out laughing.
"Either you've suddenly come out of the closet, or you were failing miserably at impersonating 'poor Snivellus'" I managed to gasp between fits of laughter (Obviously stars just weren't important anymore.)
Sirius drew himself up arrogantly and sniffed. "I rather thought I was very good at it." His frown suddenly cracked into a wide grin as he looked at me out of the corner of his eye.
I shivered suddenly and turned around. Someone was staring at me... Students all around us were chatting and laughing totally resuming themselves after being caught by Sirius little performance. But someone there was staring ice into my back. I could feel it.
"Hey... I'll meet you guys at lunch okay?" James stopped chuckling and looked at me with an eyebrow raised. "Umm. Okay."
"Everything alright Remus?" Sirius was looking at me too I noticed. Why was everyone staring at me!!!! I was ready to scream my head off... Instead I calmly (as always) smiled and said, "Yeah. I think I just forgot my quill in the classroom..." ...Shut-up... I know it's a lame excuse. No one asked for your opinion. So sue me for being curious. I waved at them and started off in the general direction of the glaring daggers. Well, I wasn't sure if they were glaring, but who cares. I looked back at my friends retreating backs almost deciding it didn't matter... When "OOF!".
I wavered and flailed a bit before catching my balance... The heck? I looked down to see a slightly miffed Lily Evans fallen to the floor.
"Oh!! Are you alright?" I eagerly gave her my hand hoping she wouldn't bite my head off... She'd certainly given me reason to think she would with the way she acted towards James. She ignored my hand, picked up a book and got to her feet, if only to begin rubbing her butt. I stared at her and she grumbled something about 'stupid boys...watching where they're going'. I'd never realized before what a weirdo girl Lily was... Anyway back to the plot, Lily was suddenly grinning wildly at me. In fact, grinning might not be the right word. Evilly maliciously conniving smirk perhaps? Yes, I thought so myself. Her bright green eyes were dancing playfully as she grabbed my hand and began walked down the hall again.
"Erm..." The girl definitely had issues... Was that her humming?! Surely this couldn't be the same girl James was in love with. Her humming began to have soft words added, and it started to sound like one of those taunting children's songs... I squinted at her out of the corner of my eye. Off her rocker... Yep. Official... "...your secret... I know your secret... I know your secret..." She continued getting louder in her sing-song voice, and I stopped dead in my steps and snatched my hand away from her.
"What?!" I screeched cutting her off. She looked hurt at having her fun cut off, but I continued worriedly glaring at her. "How did you find out?!"
She heaved a big sigh and rolled her eyes. "It was sooo obvious! I can't believe the whole school doesn't know!"
"What are you talking about?! I'd hidden it so well! ... Did James tell you?"
Her frown deepened, and a crease appeared between her brows. "Why would I ever talk to him." It obviously wasn't a question.
"...He would tell you anything you asked... It's just... Could you please not tell anyone?! I could get expelled from school... If all the parents knew." I shivered. "Dumbledore might not be able to stop them." The last part came out as a mumble, as people around us were so dutifully NOT listening that it was obvious. Or maybe I was just paranoid. Be quiet, the walls have ears!
Her frown deepened. What was it with this girl? Was she so disappointed in her fun spoiled? "Okay... Apparently we're talking about two different secrets here." Oh. "Yeah... But if there's something you'd like to tell me..." She trailed off expectantly.
I blinked. Then again. And thrice just to make it an odd number. Then I let out an overexaggerated sigh just to end it all off. "What a relief! You really scared me there... But... I don't really have any other secrets. Well, none that I'm that worried about."
She pursed her lips and looked thoughtful a moment. "I know who you like Remus." She folded her arms and glared at him in a now-you-better-tell-me- your-other-secret-or-face-the-consequences way... Or maybe that was just me reading between the lines too much. Shoosh! Everyone has their problems!
I had another triple-blinking session before guffawing. "That's what that was all about?! The whole freaky glaring behind my back, then the creppy (Yes, creppy) singing? I don't like anyone Lily, so I don't know where you got that load of gossip from!" I continued to laugh, all the while not noticing Lily's darkening face.
"Shutup!" Er... Mid-cackle? "I didn't HEAR it from anybody! I was watching you're little groupie, and it was so OBVIOUS." She infused that word with so much sickening sweetness I flinched. Seriously. "The way you stare at him." Here she sighed. "It's so cute... Anyone with half a brain could put one and one together!" ...To make two... Right?...
Mental instant replay... "The way you stare at him..." HIM! ... I looked back at her and suddenly felt very insignificant... Since when was Lily so tall?!
"Sirius," I gasped, leaning against the wall for support. She smiled her glistening whites at me. "How were you so sure?" I was suddenly very interested in an ink stain in my robes. Hey! It kinda looked like rabbit!
Her evil grin widened. "I knew it!" Insert Lily maniacal laughter here. Thank God the hall was empty now. She wrapped an arm around my slumping shoulders and began to lead me in the general direction of the Great Hall once again.
"Its alright Remus ol' pal! Your secret is safe with me! ...On one condition!" I dreaded her 'one condition' more than Snape prancing around in a pink tutu... Okay that was just sick. Sick.
"You let me play match-maker." Dramatic music plays. Horror washed over my face and I shook my head disbelievingly. 'No' I mouthed. Trigger Lily cackling again. Trigger me being thankful the hall was empty once again. I shut my eyes tight and looked away from her hoping this was all some sadistic nightmare.
Then it was as if a light-bulb suddenly turned on in my head. "Only if I can play match-maker too." I stated with a slight smile. I'd get her back, you'll all see!!
Lily narrowed her eyes at me then hissed "Deal," before dragging me off again totally bright and cheery. "We'll be the best of friends you'll see! I'll give you a make-over! And do you're hair! All the girls will love you..." She went on babbling as I willed myself to be dragged into the Great Hall where it was apparent Lunch was almost over. She suddenly gave me a quick hug before walking calmly off to her territory of evil young girls leaving me very dazed and extremely confused. Lily Evans was officially a basketcase.
