Chapter Three: No idea what to call this one, so I'll call it Bobby.
Disclaimer: I've been looking over my previous disclaimers, so I decided to make this one cooler. So here we are: Refer to Chapter Two.
~~***~~***~~
Once outside of the common room, Lily and Jacki walked- well, Jacki walked.
Lily practically ran- outside to the Quidditch field. They both figured it would be the
last place everyone looked. Sitting down in the Ravenclaw end, Lily and Jacki began to
talk.
"GODDAMN POTTER! I wish he just frikkin' leave me alone." Lily exclaimed.
"You praise his glory. Potter likes you, you know. And I guarantee, that is pretty odd,
since, well, his parents knew yours." Jacki told her.
"His parents knew mine? That is so weird!" Lily said in a valley girl accent. "That is so
not interesting. Don't tell me more! 'Cause I really don't care." She said, dropping the
accent.
Lily moved down to the Slytherin end of the field, and sat down again, with Jacki
in tow, just walking like she didn't hear a word. "Lily, have you even linked the things in
your dream together? Richard Potter? Professor Dumbledore? Pregnant woman in the
same year you were born? Baby due soon? James being born the same year? Does any of
this even seem to fit together?" Jacki told her.
"You know. Since the year I got here, I've never even seen a game in this place, but I
love to watch. And I love to play. But I've never watched the game here in this stadium."
Lily said carelessly.
"Now you're just avoiding the subject, but okay. I was at home the other day, preparing
to move here, and I was going through some old boxes I found in the cupboard
underneath the radio, and I found some storylines for some movies we saw once. And
some my parents had seen. There was 'How Green Was My Valley' and 'Casablanca'
and 'Hamlet'. My parents had seen these years ago, and I was reading them, and I
thought, 'These are pretty good.' And then, there was 'To Kill A Mockingbird', 'My Fair
Lady', 'Oliver', and 'The Godfather'. I was reading the outlines, and I thought, 'WOW!'
It was so fun.*" Jacki said excitedly.
"You are so odd."
"Yeah, well, you were born with muggle parents. You knew about these things. I,
however, didn't, and I didn't know about these things."
"Crazy bitch, you are. Or, some would call you a 'perra loco' depending on which place
you're in."
"Shut up. Hey, Lily? How tall are you?" Jacki asked abruptly.
"About 5 foot 6. You?" Lily answered as the sun was setting.
"Between 5 foot 1 and 5 foot 7, depending on which convenience store I'm leaving."
"Let's go inside. Potter will have recovered and all the girls will be swarmed about him,
making a clean entrance for us. I wonder why all these British people are afraid of us."
"Because. A long, long time ago, like in the '50's, no, sorry. Late 1700's, they lost a little
thing called the Civil, no, Revolutionary War."
"A lot you know about your country. You are so smart." Lily said sarcastically.
"I know. I'm so- WHOA!" Jacki exclaimed, while narrowly missing a tree. "Did you
see that? That tree came out of nowhere!"
"Shut up. I've got work to do. I've got to study for my N.E.W.T.'s." Lily said, walking
up the stairs.
"WHAT?! You ain't got no N.E.W.T.'s 'til next year! Come on! I want you to tell me
that one that you did up a what-you-call-it!" Jacki yelled.
"You just ended a sentence with nine prepositions. And 'ain't' is not a word, and you're
grammatically incorrect in that whole phrase. You would do horribly in an English test in
regular school." Lily yelled back down the stairs and then turned back to go up.
Jacki ran quickly up the stairs to where Lily was and said to her "I'm an
overachiever. Tell me." And so they talked for a while and walked up to the common
room. Upon opening the door, they were met with a yell of 'THERE SHE IS!'s and 'GET
HER!'s and were immediately knocked down by two boys. Those two boys were named
'Sirius Xavier Black' and 'Remus Brian Lupin'**. "OY! GET OFF!" Jacki exclaimed.
"Says who?" Sirius asked her.
"Says me." Jacki told him.
"And who might you be?" Remus asked.
"I am Jacqueline Carmen Turner. 'Jacki' to some. 'J.C.' to others. I know the arts of
music, painting, archery, fencing, and, my favorite, gun fighting. I can hit targets in
archery and shooting from, oh, 300 feet away, and I beat my instructor in fencing after
the first four days. I also know karate, tae kwan do, kickboxing, and street fighting. So, in
some fields, I could basically kick your ass if you don't get off us right now." Jacki said
threateningly.
"That's a good reason. I got to go. You are on your own, buddy." Remus said to Sirius,
and he helped Lily up and ran away to a safe distance from Jacki.
Helping Jacki up, Sirius slowly backed away. "Jacki? You're not going to hurt me, are you? Cause my friends would be completely devastated if I died." He said, frightened. "Well, boo-hoo to them. They can find a new friend. If you or any one else you have any control over jumps on me, I will kill them and you. You best be watchin' your step, unless you want to wake up in a very scary house, and when you get up, you just might find Mr. Winkles dead in a pot of boiling water. From now on, it's no more Ms. Pleasantville. Have a nice night.***" Jacki said, advancing on Sirius and backing away. Needless to say, Sirius was very afraid. Terrified of finding his pet rabbit dead in the morning, he rushed upstairs to hold it. Jacki, sensing opportunity, walked upstairs and went to sleep. Lily, feeling very tired herself, followed suit.
*************************
The next morning, a Sunday, I believe, Lily and Jacki woke up to the sound of screaming. Judging from how high-pitched it was, they both decided that it was Sirius. When they got downstairs, they saw a very disturbing sight. Sirius was sitting, crying on the couch, holding a torn piece of cloth in his hands. Walking down the stairs, Lily and Jacki talked about why he was crying. It turns out that what he was holding was his favorite shirt, and that during the night, someone or something tore it straight own the middle, leaving about two inches left to keep the shirt in one piece. Still with tears in his eyes, Sirius turned in his seat, and looked at Jacki. Understanding, she ran back upstairs, got dressed, grabbed a box and went back downstairs. Handing the box to Sirius when she got down, she comforted him for a few seconds, and then helped him outside.
Once outside, Sirius and Jacki took up two shovels and dug a small hole. Once this was done, Sirius took his shirt, placed it inside the box, and placed it inside the hole. Jacki and Sirius then covered the hole, and packed it down hard. Jacki left him to mourn for his shirt, and went inside. Sirius then sat down and cried for his shirt for twenty minutes after that. After he felt he had cried for all the time necessary, he got up, went inside, and went into his dorm room. After another twenty minutes, he called Jacki into his dorm.
"I think you know why I called you all here to this meeting." He said to. everyone, which was Jacki, Mr. Winkles, James, Remus, and Peter. "It was to find out who killed my favorite shirt. After spending quite some time on this subject, I came up with five or six possibilities: 1: Jacki used her evil powers to kill my shirt for her plot of World Domination; 2: Mr. Winkles bit it and it died; 3: James did it; 4: Remus did it; 5: Peter did it; and 6: Jacki made one of these people to do it for her plot of World Domination. If one of you come forth and admit to committing this crime, I will go easy on you. But if I find out by some other way, I won't. Now, does anybody want to tell me something?" No one said anything for a while. Then, Jacki spoke up. "Sirius, why are so concerned over the loss of a shirt? You didn't even like it. You once said to me, 'If I ever get a chance, I'm going to rip this old shirt apart. I hate it.' You even tried to get me to rip it to shreds."
"But it's the thought that anyone had the nerve to do this without me knowing it!" Sirius responded to her.
"Sirius, you announced to everyone in the Great Hall that if anyone wanted to rip it to shreds, we could do so. I even saw a few girls whispering about it." James said to him.
"Yeah. I was there. They said that if you ever wore it in the halls, that they world rip it off your chest and make you walk all over the school for the rest of the day without a shirt on. Needless to say, it was frightening." Jacki added.
"Did they really? Well, I should go dig it up and wear it." Sirius said as if nothing had happened.
"Sirius? In case you didn't notice, it's torn. You can't wear so they can rip it off because it's already ripped. That would defeat the purpose." Remus injected.
"What?! It's been torn? Who did it?.. Oh yeah, I did. It was the only thing clean, so I decided that I'd rather walk around shirtless instead of wear it.****"
"So. can we go now?" Remus asked him.
"Yeah, sure. Go ahead." And with that, everyone present, except Mr. Winkles, who Sirius put back in the cage of which he lived, left to go to sleep, since Sirius had kept them in there for quite some time.

END! OF A CHAPTER! HAPPY! SLAP HANDS!
Information:
*The list of movies: Okay, this story is in a time span from 1957 to 1974. I looked in a book and saw a list of movies, actors, actresses, and directors that won awards.
**Remus Brian Lupin: I have a method of determining the middle name of a character: I take their first name and their last name, take the first letter of both, and figure out which letter is in the middle, like so: RSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKL. As you can see, B is the middle letter. A bit like determining the median of a set of numbers in math.
***Mr. Winkles dead in boiling water: I was watching Fatal Attraction with my mom, and when I wrote that part, it was just after the bunny rabbit was found it the same position.
****Sirius's Shirt: okay, it was weird thing I came up with to end this chapter. Just picture this: a guy shirt that it a tight fit, and it's green, and in orange writing, it says: So you can't be me. No use trying or crying.
Thank you for reading. Now, after reading, there is one final step: CLICK THE PURDY URPLEPAY BUTTON! Thank you. My computer is messed up, so if there was any rioting, I'll have to pay for any damage done to any facilities. Thank you.
