Chapter 3 Drama-Trauma-Rama
Part 1: Lena
"Kiss-kiss you?" Remus repeated; he felt his face burn up. He rubbed his neck bashfully. "I don't think-"
"Don't think then, just do it, please. For me." Lena grabbed his hand pulled him closer to her. "Remus, I haven't been kissed in such a long time, I forgot the warmth, the giddiness of it all. It's become just all- ack!"
By that time she had already gotten Remus against the wall with her arms around his neck, "If that's the reason why then I don't think we should do this. Lena, you are beautiful and independent, you don't need my stupid kisses to prove it to you."
"Yes," Lena breathed, "I do."
Remus grabbed her hand, "Lena I like you but you don't want this, believe me you don't. You'll regret it tomorrow."
Lena kissed his neck softly, watching him shiver, "Tell me you don't like that."
"I-I-"Remus spoke, his voice quaky. "I definitely didn't expect this."
"Please Remus, I want to feel wanted." Lena moaned as she made her way to meet his lips.
He moaned in her mouth, "Alright."
He wrapped his arms around her waste and brought her close to him, folding his fingers so she couldn't easily get away. She slipped her tongue roughly through his mouth and felt her way around his mouth. To her it was the best taste ever. She couldn't move her lips away from him; she had to stay near him, close to him. She felt so secure.
She stopped and made her way to his neck and felt herself practically suck the skin off him. She heard him moan and gave a satisfying grin and went back to his mouth.
She felt a wave of excitement that she had never felt; everything seemed to be dissolving into scenery, another picture.
"Kaleb," she moaned softly on his lips, loud enough for only her to hear.
Remus opened his eyes and said softly, "Huh?"
"Nothing," Lena moaned in his mouth biting slightly his lip.
Remus finally sighed and pulled away.
"Wait...no..."Lena said pouting.
"Lena, this isn't right, I mean its good and everything but its not right..."Remus pushed her away a little too hard, "Lena,look me straight in the eye and tell me you want to have a relationship with me."
Lena pouted her bottom lip as it trembled under pressure, she looked at him in the eye, "I-," she paused and looked down, "I-I...can't."
Lena had never seen Remus look so stung and hurt before, she didn't ever want to see him like this. She had no idea he had ever had feelings for her, she still doesn't.
"See? You don't want a relationship, you want a make-out mate, well find yourself another make-out mate 'cause sweetheart it isn't going to be me." Remus turned away and walked away, not looking back at the girl who had just ruined a perfectly good relationship.
Part 2: Lily and James
"I still don't understand why your here." James said running a hand through his hair eyeing her sheepishly.
Lily was too busy looking around to notice him and turned around to meet his eyes, "You don't have to."
"Well, don't plan on leaving here hand-in-hand and be mates all of a sudden tomorrow, alright?" James said sitting down and taking out a piece of parchment and quill.
He started drawing a girl standing there lonely, he drew the head first, very descriptive, made sure her hair hung loosely from the bun behind her head, her thick bangs to cover to her eyebrows and her smirk to look as conniving as possible.
"I thought you said you were going to be doing extra-credit thing for Astronomy?" Lily asked frowning slightly.
"I thought you already made that observation," he said sighing, not looking up, "thee moons not even showing yet and its still day."
Lily then replied in a whiny tone, "What are we s'pose to do till then?"
"Well I'm going to draw; you on the other hand can entertain yourself by conjuring something shiny to look here." James replied coolly.
Lily scoffed, "Typical."
"You're making it seem like I want you to come, you can leave, venture your pretty little butt around." James said adding a corset top to the girl posing.
Lily moaned; he tried to restrain himself from smiling lightly.
Lily eyed his drawing, "Ooh you're an artiste?"
James frowned, "No."
"Well, you sure have talent."
"Your opinion."
"Yea, it is."
James looked at Lily's face, her complexion was perfect, her cheekbones, her eyes and even her nose structure.
"Hey can I use your face?" James asked formerly.
"Uh...huh?" Lily asked confused.
"I can't seem to find the right face, maybe you're it, and can I use it? Do I need to spell it out?"
"Sure."
"Okay, don't smile; look at me like you hate me."
After 10 minutes of scowling and posing and sketching they finally finished and James pocketed the drawing.
"Hold on, don't I get to see it?"
James snorted, "I don't show anyone my work, no matter how pretty they are."
Lily pouted, "But-but I'm so pretty!"
"I don't think so." James breathed. He usually got a bit moody after someone asked to see his work, but he tried holding it.
"Fine, I'm too tired to try to steal it and too tire to confuse you with my wit." Lily sat down and sighed. She buried her face into her hand; she was in deep thought so she didn't say anything. James liked this silence. Finally she opened her mouth again, "So what's your deal Potter?"
James sighed, "What deal?"
Lily shrugged casually, "I mean; do you like coming off to people as a posh analytic git?"
James smirked at her and said in the same casual form, "That's the price for being so perfect."
Lily let out a cold laugh, she stopped and took a deep breath and sighed, "Is it always going to be this way?"
James slanted to the side, maybe pretending to care was a good way to shrug her off, "What way?"
Lily clicked her tongue, "Well every time we seem to converse it always ends up with us competing wits."
James shrugged and pretended to seem interested at the ground.
"James, can I ask you a personal question?" Lily asked slyly, cocking her eyebrow.
James clapped his hands together, "Shoot."
"When did you last have a girlfriend?"
James frowned but then thought better of it and said with dignity, "Last year Christmas."
Lily stared in disbelief, "But I've heard so many rumors-"
"All started by Padfoot, not here." James sighed. "I'm not a heart throb nor very popular, so there really no reason girls would drop at my feet. I'm not the most sought out mate here and glad not to be, there's not a day that goes by that I don't thank Merlin I'm not Sirius. I don't want any ditz fluttering her eyelashes at me."
"You'd think that's what you want." Lily said trying her best not to sound amaze.
"What about you, boyfriend?"
Lily felt her cheeks dim a red, "Actually, no, I haven't. Ever."
"That's for the best, your not missing out." James assured her.
Lily scowled and snapped, "Just because you don't feel the wanting to love or be loved doesn't mean others don't. I do want to be loved by someone, someone who will go out of their way to talk to me and impress me. I love surprises."
"You have a very sad dream," James stated, "don't be disappointed when it doesn't happen."
"Well, sorry if my dream is to try not to die alone as a sour arse like your most likely going to." Lily snapped fuming.
James looked at Lily, he could tell she was mad and he could care less, "Don't get mad at me 'cause you can just leave."
Lily contorted her face, which didn't really make her look any less pretty, "You are unbelievable! I'm ticked and you don't even care?"
"Look love, you brought yourself now take yourself."
"What's that s'pose to mean?"
James scoffed and looked her up and then down, "Figure it out, love."
"Look Potter, I don't need this shit, I'm off!" She stood up quickly.
"No ones stopping you." James shrugged.
"Screw you."
"No thanks sweetheart."
Part 3: Ash
"So you alright?" Ash asked rubbing his back. "Still sore?"
"Naw babe, just stiff." Sirius said stretching. "I'll live, no worries."
Ash grinned. She looked around, "Well, do you want your end of the bet now or later?"
Sirius pulled a sly grin, "I think now would be best."
Ash grinned at him again, "As much as I know you want to, no bragging to your friends or word will get to Sean."
Sirius winced; he hated Sean but put on a sly grin again and replied with nothing more but a nod.
Ash leaned her head closer, closing her eyes slightly, she never got why people did that. She felt his face close to hers; his breath tickled her lips slightly.
"I'm sorry, am I interrupting something?" said a giddy voice over by the corner. She didn't seem that sorry that she interrupted though.
"No Star, it's fine." Sirius said, his eyes beaming at the girl.
Ash felt her insides swell up in anger, how could he look at her like that if he was about to kiss me, she thought, who does she think she is waltzing in here? The nerve!
The girl smiled shyly at Sirius, Ash had met Star in several occasions, and none ever went very well. Star had light brown hair up to elbow with natural blonde highlights, blue eyes, peach tan skin, no freckles, she was taller than Ash and a little bit skinnier. Ash was a little bit more fuller and curvier. Star walked more graceful and less awkward than Ash, which intimidated her.
Ash knew Star through Lily, Lily knew a lot of people here and had a lot of connections, well Ash never got on very well with the girl. Ash would always end up either calling her a "know-it-all" or a "ditzy bitch."
Sirius couldn't stop staring at her with the same look in his eyes. She was so...
"I came by to see if you needed company," Star said matter-of-factly, "I didn't expect to find Ashtyn here...without Sean, to be exact. I more likely thought James, Remus and Peter were to be here."
"Well sorry to burst your bubble." Ash sneered, "FYI it's Ash."
Star smiled politely at her, "How pretty."
"What is?"
"That face you make when your saying something mean, its pretty." Star looked over at Sirius again, "I brought you cookies, their funny 'cause if you don't bite the head off they won't stop singing."
Sirius' face dropped.
"I'm kidding, that's why I cut the head off for you." Star smiled.
"You know what? I'm going to go, alright Sirius?" Ash stated, trying to sound calm.
"Uh-huh..."Sirius said.
Ash scoffed and stormed her way out.
"Hey Lily!" Ash said, finding her friend storming the opposite direction.
Lily's face softened, "Hey how goes it?"
"Goes it not so good." Ash said biting her bottom lip.
"Same here." said another voice behind them.
"Hey-lo Lena." Lily said.
"I've had the most shitty day, can we go outside?" Lena moaned. She threw her arm around Lily's shoulder.
"What about Kal-"Lily shook her head. "Never mind."
Lena smiled considerably at Lily, now was not the time to see Kaleb, she just couldn't.
Ash on the other hand paid little attention what's-so-ever to them and stayed in her bad state and followed the two to the lake.
When they got there the sun beamed through their shirts and burned the back of their necks.
"Gawd damnit! I need shade and some water!" Ash said rushing over to the large oak tree in front of the lake.
Lily took off her shirt to reveal a very white pale creamy skin with a polka-dot bra bikini top. She put her long hair up in a pony tail spiky bun thing and pinned her bangs back. She sat in her school skirt on the grass by the tree.
Lena did the same except her bathing suit was black and Ash just sat glumly by the tree.
"Its only been the first two days of school and we're already in a slump, that's not a good sign." Lily said sighing.
"I told you I wasn't going to like this year." Ash groaned and then added, "My feelings are always right!"
"You keep telling yourself that, Ashmiester." Lena said, running her hand through her not-so-bright faded violet hair. "I'll tell you mates what happened if you tell me first."
"Well you know the whole incident I had with Sirius, well I was in the Hospital Wing, comforting the poor pathetic wanker and then this little know-it-all tall fake prissy bitch comes and turns him on me and he completely forgets I exist!"
Lena scoffed sarcastically, "Wanker."
Ash missed the sarcasm, "I know!"
Lily laid in the sun with her eyes closed and then said, in a voice much more calmer than Ash and less aggressive, "Well Kaleb was no where to be found and I thought I'd make nice with Potter for awhile, he agreed to tutor me by the way ("Please tell me that's not the point of the story.")Sod off Lena, anyways and we're hanging out and then he tells me that I have sad dreams and he is such a jerk-off!"
"That's fucked up."
Lily winced, "You know I hate that word, please just-"
Ash nodded, "I get it. Well Ebens, don't think we forgot 'bout your miserable day, please tell."
Lena covered her beaming bright pink face with her black-nailed hands. Lily had never seen two colors clash together so badly, violet and pink that is.
"Well I was in the library-"Lena began but she was disrupted when Kaleb came running past her and head-first dived into the water.
"You bloody wanker!" snapped Ash. "I'm not even undressed yet!"
"And that's a bad thing?" Kaleb said bobbing his head out of the water.
"It is to me 'cause I can't see what's under there," replied Sean giving Ash a hug and kiss from behind.
"Hey sweetums, you scared me." Ash said returning the kiss.
"Who'd you think it was?"
"My other boyfriend, I told him not to come visit me in public though." Ash smirked. Sean frowned. "I'm kidding sweetie, are you going to sit and hang out?"
Sean smirked, "Well Marilyn let us off Quidditch practice early, so I thought I'd come by."
Ash fluttered her eyelashes, "And hang out with little ol' me?"
"Of course."
Lily observed Sean with disdain, she would never consider going out with him, he wasn't ugly, and he just wasn't her type. He was tall but not nearly as tall as James or Sirius but probably a little bit bulkier and strong. He had light brown hair and dark brown eyes. He was light-skinned.
He looked over at Lily, "You going in or trying to seduce the first years?"
Lily snorted, "It's obvious isn't it?"
"Lily, you are such a naughty girl," called over Kaleb. Lily gave him a look. "C'mon in Lil', please!"
Lily pouted, "And get wet? Alright!" She put on her border shorts and dived into the lake.
"Lily, that was huge! Have you gained weight?" Kaleb teased.
Lily threw water at his face, she couldn't stop thinking about what James said, what if she really did have sad dreams?
Part 4: James Drama
James looked out the Boys Dormitory window; he stared at the red head girl dive into the lake with no worries. He wondered how she could live in a shield so protected from the world, she seemed so innocent. With dreams so alive and vivid, a description that was long lost from the world of James.
"James, sorry but I have to cancel tonight. I have a date." Sirius announced coming out of the loo.
"Back to health already?" James asked coyly.
"Don't be bitter, Prongs." Sirius snapped. "It's not my fault you never date."
"'Cause I don't choose to that's why."
"'Cause your a bloody wanker that's why." Sirius said finally.
"Well who's the lucky girl?" James said not wanting to fight with his friend.
"Star Daniels." Sirius couldn't help smirking. "Ash hates her."
"No kidding." James said turning around to face Sirius. It was so obvious that Ash and Sirius fancied eachother; it bewildered him why nothing ever happened. It was common knowledge that Ash loathed every girl Sirius ever gets with and Sirius loathes Sean as much as Ash loathes all the girls put together.
"Where are you to off to?" James asked not really curious but wanting to converse.
"Tonight I'm going to be the romantic and take her to a lame picnic by the lake." Sirius said grinning to himself.
James never bought the arrogant cocky 'I don't have time for a relationship' crap that Sirius tried to pull to make himself cool. In truth, James didn't know Sirius much anymore. They were the best of mates but things were different now, puberty kicked in and everyone knows what happens when it does.
"Have fun." James said trying not to sound "bitter."
Remus walked in the Common Room whistling joyfully, but the tune didn't match the look in his eyes. James was very good in spotting emotions but never to quick on himself.
"Hey Moony, I have a hot date." Sirius bragged.
"What else is new?" Remus said smirking. "I have to study tonight."
"Ooh its going to be hard to stay in your pants, I'm sure." Sirius said walking out the door.
"Wanker," breathed Remus as Sirius closed the door. He looked over at James and asked him, "Do you think I'm dateable?"
James stared at him blankly, "Just because I don't date doesn't mean I'm gay mate."
Remus scoffed, "Der Prongs, I mean, you never date but girls go up to you all the time. What don't I?"
James shrugged, "Your not missing out on anything."
Remus glared at him, "Just because you choose to be alone doesn't mean the rest of the world wants to be too."
"That's the second time today someone snapped at me because of that!" James said scoffing. "Everyone would be better off!"
"Whatever James, lay off giving advice for peoples love life from now on."
"I will when I find a person who actually has a love life I'll be sure to turn them down."
"Git." snapped Remus and stormed out of the common room.
He continued to stare out the window. He couldn't help not feel guilty at what he was telling all the people around him.
"It was so cool, last night I mean." Sirius bragged at breakfast. "We sat by the lake and talked about everything and we kissed-a lot."
James took another bite out of his oatmeal, trying to drone out Sirius. Remus was still not talking to James; he didn't miss it very much any ways.
"Hey look its Snivelly, when was the last time we played a prank on him?" Sirius said smugly.
James shrugged, "I don't think we should either, I mean we're older now, shouldn't we be mature?"
"Who the hell are you and what the fuck did you do with James?" Sirius snapped grumply.
"Well I think we should."
"Me too." nodded Peter. James glared at the stupid excuse of a wizard sitting across him.
"Do whatever you want Padfoot, leave me out of it." James said mellowly. "Oy, Sean, do we have Quidditch practice today? Okay cool. Thanks. I'm busy anyways Padfoot."
Sirius glared at him, "I can't believe you!"
"Its your own fault for quitting the team." James said.
"That's not why I'm mad!" Sirius huffed.
James sighed, "Okay I'm in but I take no credit."
"Whatever." Sirius sighed.
Lily brushed by and sat on the other side of Remus; she was accompanied by a very red looking Lena. Ash stalked in a few minutes afterwards, deep in conversation with Kaleb.
"I don't care about that," Ash explained over and over to Kaleb. Ash gave a very murderous look at Sirius who was now hand in hand with Star.
"Hi Lily." Star said politely. "Hello."
"Hiya." Lily said jamming her toast.
Ash grunted as while Lena still said nothing.
"I'm not that hungry." Lena finally announced and left.
Remus scoffed and stood up too and walked the opposite direction.
Ash gave one more glare to Sirius and Star and looked over to Sean and replied sweetly, "We have ten minutes before class, feel like doing anything?"
Sean stared at her and then grinned.
They got up and left. Sirius scoffed and then him and Star left.
Lily noted that it was just going to be her and James left.
"Please Kale, don't leave." Lily whined.
"Sorry sweetie, but I have to meet up with Angie and Marisol. I promised." Kaleb got up, Lily forcefully pulled him down.
"Stay, please."
Kaleb rolled his eyes, "You'll be in good hands, and I'm sure. Right Potter? Haha. You'll be fine, if anything happens just use the erm...signal."
"Fine." Lily gave up in defeat.
As soon as Kaleb was out of sight. Lily stood up.
"Don't go." James announced.
"I can do whatever I want." Lily said calmly.
"I'll follow you." James said again.
"That's nice to know." Lily said walking away.
"Please, I'm sorry." James made out forcefully.
Lily turned around with a grin on her face, "Your what?"
"Sorry." He said again.
"You should be you were an arsehole."Lily told him.
"So you think."
"What's that s'pose to mean?" Lily said smiling.
"Nothing," James replied shrugging.
"Well what are you doing this weekend?" Lily asked sheepishly.
"I don't have anything planned."
"Now you do, you're friends and my friends are going out to the nearest party." Lily announced.
"There no parties." James claimed.
"You'd be surprised Mr.Potter, trust me. I'll find one. All you have to do is seek me out on Saturday night, alright?"
James nodded, "Are you expecting it to be a date?"
"Only if you want it to be." Lily shrugged.
"I don't date."
"I'm not surprised. Why though?"
"I just don't."
"Alright."
"See you later."
"Don't want to walk me to class?"
"I guess."
Lily smiled, "Lets get a move on then."
Part 1: Lena
"Kiss-kiss you?" Remus repeated; he felt his face burn up. He rubbed his neck bashfully. "I don't think-"
"Don't think then, just do it, please. For me." Lena grabbed his hand pulled him closer to her. "Remus, I haven't been kissed in such a long time, I forgot the warmth, the giddiness of it all. It's become just all- ack!"
By that time she had already gotten Remus against the wall with her arms around his neck, "If that's the reason why then I don't think we should do this. Lena, you are beautiful and independent, you don't need my stupid kisses to prove it to you."
"Yes," Lena breathed, "I do."
Remus grabbed her hand, "Lena I like you but you don't want this, believe me you don't. You'll regret it tomorrow."
Lena kissed his neck softly, watching him shiver, "Tell me you don't like that."
"I-I-"Remus spoke, his voice quaky. "I definitely didn't expect this."
"Please Remus, I want to feel wanted." Lena moaned as she made her way to meet his lips.
He moaned in her mouth, "Alright."

She felt a wave of excitement that she had never felt; everything seemed to be dissolving into scenery, another picture.
"Kaleb," she moaned softly on his lips, loud enough for only her to hear.
Remus opened his eyes and said softly, "Huh?"
"Nothing," Lena moaned in his mouth biting slightly his lip.
Remus finally sighed and pulled away.
"Wait...no..."Lena said pouting.
"Lena, this isn't right, I mean its good and everything but its not right..."Remus pushed her away a little too hard, "Lena,look me straight in the eye and tell me you want to have a relationship with me."
Lena pouted her bottom lip as it trembled under pressure, she looked at him in the eye, "I-," she paused and looked down, "I-I...can't."
Lena had never seen Remus look so stung and hurt before, she didn't ever want to see him like this. She had no idea he had ever had feelings for her, she still doesn't.
"See? You don't want a relationship, you want a make-out mate, well find yourself another make-out mate 'cause sweetheart it isn't going to be me." Remus turned away and walked away, not looking back at the girl who had just ruined a perfectly good relationship.
Part 2: Lily and James
"I still don't understand why your here." James said running a hand through his hair eyeing her sheepishly.
Lily was too busy looking around to notice him and turned around to meet his eyes, "You don't have to."
"Well, don't plan on leaving here hand-in-hand and be mates all of a sudden tomorrow, alright?" James said sitting down and taking out a piece of parchment and quill.

"What about you, boyfriend?"
Lily felt her cheeks dim a red, "Actually, no, I haven't. Ever."
"That's for the best, your not missing out." James assured her.
Lily scowled and snapped, "Just because you don't feel the wanting to love or be loved doesn't mean others don't. I do want to be loved by someone, someone who will go out of their way to talk to me and impress me. I love surprises."

"Well, sorry if my dream is to try not to die alone as a sour arse like your most likely going to." Lily snapped fuming.

"Look love, you brought yourself now take yourself."
"What's that s'pose to mean?"
James scoffed and looked her up and then down, "Figure it out, love."
"Look Potter, I don't need this shit, I'm off!" She stood up quickly.
"No ones stopping you." James shrugged.
"Screw you."
"No thanks sweetheart."
Part 3: Ash
"So you alright?" Ash asked rubbing his back. "Still sore?"
"Naw babe, just stiff." Sirius said stretching. "I'll live, no worries."
Ash grinned. She looked around, "Well, do you want your end of the bet now or later?"
Sirius pulled a sly grin, "I think now would be best."
Ash grinned at him again, "As much as I know you want to, no bragging to your friends or word will get to Sean."

Sirius couldn't stop staring at her with the same look in his eyes. She was so...
"I came by to see if you needed company," Star said matter-of-factly, "I didn't expect to find Ashtyn here...without Sean, to be exact. I more likely thought James, Remus and Peter were to be here."
"Well sorry to burst your bubble." Ash sneered, "FYI it's Ash."
Star smiled politely at her, "How pretty."
"What is?"
"That face you make when your saying something mean, its pretty." Star looked over at Sirius again, "I brought you cookies, their funny 'cause if you don't bite the head off they won't stop singing."
Sirius' face dropped.
"I'm kidding, that's why I cut the head off for you." Star smiled.
"You know what? I'm going to go, alright Sirius?" Ash stated, trying to sound calm.
"Uh-huh..."Sirius said.
Ash scoffed and stormed her way out.
"Hey Lily!" Ash said, finding her friend storming the opposite direction.
Lily's face softened, "Hey how goes it?"
"Goes it not so good." Ash said biting her bottom lip.
"Same here." said another voice behind them.
"Hey-lo Lena." Lily said.
"I've had the most shitty day, can we go outside?" Lena moaned. She threw her arm around Lily's shoulder.
"What about Kal-"Lily shook her head. "Never mind."
Lena smiled considerably at Lily, now was not the time to see Kaleb, she just couldn't.
Ash on the other hand paid little attention what's-so-ever to them and stayed in her bad state and followed the two to the lake.
When they got there the sun beamed through their shirts and burned the back of their necks.
"Gawd damnit! I need shade and some water!" Ash said rushing over to the large oak tree in front of the lake.
Lily took off her shirt to reveal a very white pale creamy skin with a polka-dot bra bikini top. She put her long hair up in a pony tail spiky bun thing and pinned her bangs back. She sat in her school skirt on the grass by the tree.
Lena did the same except her bathing suit was black and Ash just sat glumly by the tree.
"Its only been the first two days of school and we're already in a slump, that's not a good sign." Lily said sighing.
"I told you I wasn't going to like this year." Ash groaned and then added, "My feelings are always right!"
"You keep telling yourself that, Ashmiester." Lena said, running her hand through her not-so-bright faded violet hair. "I'll tell you mates what happened if you tell me first."
"Well you know the whole incident I had with Sirius, well I was in the Hospital Wing, comforting the poor pathetic wanker and then this little know-it-all tall fake prissy bitch comes and turns him on me and he completely forgets I exist!"
Lena scoffed sarcastically, "Wanker."
Ash missed the sarcasm, "I know!"
Lily laid in the sun with her eyes closed and then said, in a voice much more calmer than Ash and less aggressive, "Well Kaleb was no where to be found and I thought I'd make nice with Potter for awhile, he agreed to tutor me by the way ("Please tell me that's not the point of the story.")Sod off Lena, anyways and we're hanging out and then he tells me that I have sad dreams and he is such a jerk-off!"
"That's fucked up."
Lily winced, "You know I hate that word, please just-"
Ash nodded, "I get it. Well Ebens, don't think we forgot 'bout your miserable day, please tell."
Lena covered her beaming bright pink face with her black-nailed hands. Lily had never seen two colors clash together so badly, violet and pink that is.
"Well I was in the library-"Lena began but she was disrupted when Kaleb came running past her and head-first dived into the water.
"You bloody wanker!" snapped Ash. "I'm not even undressed yet!"
"And that's a bad thing?" Kaleb said bobbing his head out of the water.
"It is to me 'cause I can't see what's under there," replied Sean giving Ash a hug and kiss from behind.
"Hey sweetums, you scared me." Ash said returning the kiss.
"Who'd you think it was?"
"My other boyfriend, I told him not to come visit me in public though." Ash smirked. Sean frowned. "I'm kidding sweetie, are you going to sit and hang out?"
Sean smirked, "Well Marilyn let us off Quidditch practice early, so I thought I'd come by."
Ash fluttered her eyelashes, "And hang out with little ol' me?"
"Of course."
Lily observed Sean with disdain, she would never consider going out with him, he wasn't ugly, and he just wasn't her type. He was tall but not nearly as tall as James or Sirius but probably a little bit bulkier and strong. He had light brown hair and dark brown eyes. He was light-skinned.
He looked over at Lily, "You going in or trying to seduce the first years?"
Lily snorted, "It's obvious isn't it?"
"Lily, you are such a naughty girl," called over Kaleb. Lily gave him a look. "C'mon in Lil', please!"
Lily pouted, "And get wet? Alright!" She put on her border shorts and dived into the lake.
"Lily, that was huge! Have you gained weight?" Kaleb teased.
Lily threw water at his face, she couldn't stop thinking about what James said, what if she really did have sad dreams?
Part 4: James Drama
James looked out the Boys Dormitory window; he stared at the red head girl dive into the lake with no worries. He wondered how she could live in a shield so protected from the world, she seemed so innocent. With dreams so alive and vivid, a description that was long lost from the world of James.
"James, sorry but I have to cancel tonight. I have a date." Sirius announced coming out of the loo.
"Back to health already?" James asked coyly.
"Don't be bitter, Prongs." Sirius snapped. "It's not my fault you never date."
"'Cause I don't choose to that's why."
"'Cause your a bloody wanker that's why." Sirius said finally.
"Well who's the lucky girl?" James said not wanting to fight with his friend.
"Star Daniels." Sirius couldn't help smirking. "Ash hates her."
"No kidding." James said turning around to face Sirius. It was so obvious that Ash and Sirius fancied eachother; it bewildered him why nothing ever happened. It was common knowledge that Ash loathed every girl Sirius ever gets with and Sirius loathes Sean as much as Ash loathes all the girls put together.
"Where are you to off to?" James asked not really curious but wanting to converse.
"Tonight I'm going to be the romantic and take her to a lame picnic by the lake." Sirius said grinning to himself.
James never bought the arrogant cocky 'I don't have time for a relationship' crap that Sirius tried to pull to make himself cool. In truth, James didn't know Sirius much anymore. They were the best of mates but things were different now, puberty kicked in and everyone knows what happens when it does.
"Have fun." James said trying not to sound "bitter."
Remus walked in the Common Room whistling joyfully, but the tune didn't match the look in his eyes. James was very good in spotting emotions but never to quick on himself.
"Hey Moony, I have a hot date." Sirius bragged.
"What else is new?" Remus said smirking. "I have to study tonight."
"Ooh its going to be hard to stay in your pants, I'm sure." Sirius said walking out the door.
"Wanker," breathed Remus as Sirius closed the door. He looked over at James and asked him, "Do you think I'm dateable?"
James stared at him blankly, "Just because I don't date doesn't mean I'm gay mate."
Remus scoffed, "Der Prongs, I mean, you never date but girls go up to you all the time. What don't I?"
James shrugged, "Your not missing out on anything."
Remus glared at him, "Just because you choose to be alone doesn't mean the rest of the world wants to be too."
"That's the second time today someone snapped at me because of that!" James said scoffing. "Everyone would be better off!"
"Whatever James, lay off giving advice for peoples love life from now on."
"I will when I find a person who actually has a love life I'll be sure to turn them down."
"Git." snapped Remus and stormed out of the common room.
He continued to stare out the window. He couldn't help not feel guilty at what he was telling all the people around him.
"It was so cool, last night I mean." Sirius bragged at breakfast. "We sat by the lake and talked about everything and we kissed-a lot."
James took another bite out of his oatmeal, trying to drone out Sirius. Remus was still not talking to James; he didn't miss it very much any ways.
"Hey look its Snivelly, when was the last time we played a prank on him?" Sirius said smugly.
James shrugged, "I don't think we should either, I mean we're older now, shouldn't we be mature?"
"Who the hell are you and what the fuck did you do with James?" Sirius snapped grumply.
"Well I think we should."
"Me too." nodded Peter. James glared at the stupid excuse of a wizard sitting across him.
"Do whatever you want Padfoot, leave me out of it." James said mellowly. "Oy, Sean, do we have Quidditch practice today? Okay cool. Thanks. I'm busy anyways Padfoot."
Sirius glared at him, "I can't believe you!"
"Its your own fault for quitting the team." James said.
"That's not why I'm mad!" Sirius huffed.
James sighed, "Okay I'm in but I take no credit."
"Whatever." Sirius sighed.
Lily brushed by and sat on the other side of Remus; she was accompanied by a very red looking Lena. Ash stalked in a few minutes afterwards, deep in conversation with Kaleb.
"I don't care about that," Ash explained over and over to Kaleb. Ash gave a very murderous look at Sirius who was now hand in hand with Star.
"Hi Lily." Star said politely. "Hello."
"Hiya." Lily said jamming her toast.
Ash grunted as while Lena still said nothing.
"I'm not that hungry." Lena finally announced and left.
Remus scoffed and stood up too and walked the opposite direction.
Ash gave one more glare to Sirius and Star and looked over to Sean and replied sweetly, "We have ten minutes before class, feel like doing anything?"
Sean stared at her and then grinned.
They got up and left. Sirius scoffed and then him and Star left.
Lily noted that it was just going to be her and James left.
"Please Kale, don't leave." Lily whined.
"Sorry sweetie, but I have to meet up with Angie and Marisol. I promised." Kaleb got up, Lily forcefully pulled him down.
"Stay, please."
Kaleb rolled his eyes, "You'll be in good hands, and I'm sure. Right Potter? Haha. You'll be fine, if anything happens just use the erm...signal."
"Fine." Lily gave up in defeat.
As soon as Kaleb was out of sight. Lily stood up.
"Don't go." James announced.
"I can do whatever I want." Lily said calmly.
"I'll follow you." James said again.
"That's nice to know." Lily said walking away.
"Please, I'm sorry." James made out forcefully.
Lily turned around with a grin on her face, "Your what?"
"Sorry." He said again.
"You should be you were an arsehole."Lily told him.
"So you think."
"What's that s'pose to mean?" Lily said smiling.
"Nothing," James replied shrugging.
"Well what are you doing this weekend?" Lily asked sheepishly.
"I don't have anything planned."
"Now you do, you're friends and my friends are going out to the nearest party." Lily announced.
"There no parties." James claimed.
"You'd be surprised Mr.Potter, trust me. I'll find one. All you have to do is seek me out on Saturday night, alright?"
James nodded, "Are you expecting it to be a date?"
"Only if you want it to be." Lily shrugged.
"I don't date."
"I'm not surprised. Why though?"
"I just don't."
"Alright."
"See you later."
"Don't want to walk me to class?"
"I guess."
Lily smiled, "Lets get a move on then."
