Chapter 14: Sirius Screws Up...again
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Albus, these two have been out of control for seven years. We knew something like this was going to have to happen and now is the time." James and I were sitting in Professor McGonagall's office with Professor Dumbledore. I was afraid of what McGonagall was talking about. I was never in this much trouble before. Even James looked worried.
"Yes I know Minerva. Miss Evans...Mr. Potter...Because of your continuous disagreements throughout your seven years at Hogwarts there is one thing that is left to do. You will not have to do it yet. On June 1st at nine o'clock in the morning I want you to meet Professor McGonagall here in here office. Until then please continue on as if nothing happened." He looked at us through his half moon spectacles.
"What's going to happen Professor?" I asked quietly.
"You will see on June 1st." He replied simply.
"Wait a minute," James started, "I thought we get out the beginning of June? How can we be here?"
"Well school lets out June 18th this year. Now you are dismissed." McGonagall led us to the door.
"What do you think they are going to do to us?" I asked once we were safely outside the door.
"No idea. I've never gotten into trouble like this before...Sirius is going to be so jealous." He rubbed his hands together.
"James! I can't believe you in a time like this and you are thinking about how great this is going to be?" I was so surprised. Actually, this is Potter. What did I expect? I rolled my eyes and walked away from him.
I went into the common room and looked around. Bree was no where in site. I went up to our dorm. No Bree. Where the heck is she?
I rushed down the stairs and thought of the last place to look. I went straight up to the boys' staircase and walked right into the Marauder's dorm. Of course there was Bree with Sirius making out. What did I expect? They were in love and teenagers not to mention in a room by themselves.
"Hey Bree," I winked at her.
"Lil, you know I wouldn't do any of that and you know it." She got up and walked over to me.
"I know I'm just kidding. But I got a huge problem. You know our plan? Totally back fired. And now I'm in big trouble and I won't know what is going to happen to us until June 1st."
"What's June 1st?" she asked.
"The day we find out what is going to happen to us." I sighed.
At that moment James walked in.
"Come on. Let's go," I said to Bree and led the way out.
"Ok tell me everything." She sat down on her bed.
"Alright well it started when I went to hang up the boxers..." I told Bree the whole story.
"So he has my invisibility cloak!?" she stood up.
"Yeah, sorry, but that's all you have to say!?"
"No, I'll tell you more later. That is expensive so I need it back." She stormed out of our dorm. Within about ten minutes she walked back into the dorm carrying the cloak.
"Anyway...what do you think is going to happen?" she asked as she put the cloak away.
"I don't know...I really don't know."
"Lil?"
"Yea?" Bree looked at me seriously.
"Why are you dating Jacque?"
"Well, because he respects me, he's nice, and I like him." Where was this going?
"Oh," she sighed. I knew she wanted to talk about something just didn't want to bring it up.
"Ok what do you have to say about it?"
"Well its just do you notice how miserable James is? Since you know, when you started dating Jacque."
"He isn't miserable, he is perfectly fine."
"Lil," she sighed again, "You're breaking his heart and you don't even realize it."
"I'm not breaking his heart. Don't worry."
"Alright, alright, you can control yourself."
"Yes I can."
~*~
"Jacque? Are you here?" Jacque wanted to meet me in an empty classroom tonight, May 22.
"Lily!" he got up from a table with two chairs and walked over to me. He kissed me on the check and pulled out my chair for me, "I have to talk to vou about something important."
"What is it Jacque?"
"Vell, I know ve have only been dating for three months. Vut, being with vou makes me happy."
"Thanks Jacque. I feel the same." I smiled at him. He took my hand into his. Wow, he is being really serious.
"Lily. I vant to be with vou for a long time." I shook my head with agreement.
"Lily," he got down on his knees and pulled a little violet box out of his pocket. Oh, jeez is this what I think it is?
"Lily, would vou like to ve my wife?" I gasped. The rock was huge. What am I supposed to say?
"Jacque," I stared at it. Jeez that rock was huge, "I...I..." Man that rock was just calling my name...Lily...Lily! What is wrong with me? I don't usually care just about rings and money. Wonder how it would look at my finger?
I stared at Jacque for a minute trying to take everything in. Is he possibly serious? He has to be...the RING! Stop about the ring already!
"Please say something." He looked at me with pleading eyes.
"What am I supposed to say, Jacque? I don't think I can do this. I'm seventeen. I haven't graduated yet...I haven't been able to do anything yet, like plan my life and your asking me to do it at age seventeen!? I don't think I can. I haven't been able to live life like a teenager. You know go on road trips, have boyfriends, have my first drink of alcohol, any of that stuff. I want to be able to do it before I throw away my whole life. Not that if I marry you I would be. But, I can't make this decision at this age. I'm sorry."
"Vell, I understand. I took ze chance of this happening. I guess I am rushing it." He got off his knee and sat down, "Lily?"
"Yes?"
"Vill vou at least keep the ring? I can't return it and just think of it as a promise and friendship ring. And in ze future maybe it could ve vou're vedding ring."
"Alright, I can do that." I got up, "I...I have to go." I couldn't stay there. I had to think. I had to empty my mind from everything. I walked out the door and walked all the way up the stairs and up to the astronomy tower. I walked up and nobody was up there. I loved it up here. Nobody was here to tell me what to do or ask me questions. I can just sit, relax, and let all my problems blow away with the wind.
I sat up on the tower for what seemed like hours. I put the ring on my left hand ring finger and looked at it. I closed my eyes and imagined being married to Jacque, and at such a young age. I couldn't do it, no way.
"There you are." I opened my eyes and saw Bree standing before me, "I couldn't find you."
"Yeah, well here I am." I sat up and she sat down next to me.
"Problems?" Bree knew this is where I went when I had problems.
"You guessed it."
"Well your going to tell me sometime so might as well be now." She smiled. She looked down at my hand and her eyes widened and her jaw dropped open.
"Cheese and rice! Where did you get that!?" she picked up my hand and examined the huge ring.
"Today, Jacque asked me to marry him." I said quietly.
"Jeez Louiez, did you say yes?"
"NO! I cant, I'm seventeen!"
"Well then why do you have the ring?"
"He said it could be a promise and friendship ring."
"Your one hell of a friend for a ring like that!" she replied laughing. I smiled back at her.
"Don't worry," she replied, "It'll be ok. You didn't say yes, you still get to go out with him, and you get a huge ring for no reason." She grinned happily.
I sighed, "Yeah. Thanks Bree. I don't know what I will do with out you. Let's go." We headed out of the astronomy tower and to the common room.
~*~
"Mr. Potter I am sick of your childly acts." Professor McGonagall looked practically mad on this early morning on May 26, "Out of my classroom now!" she pointed to the door.
"Where to this time?" he asked smiling like he had just won a Quidditch match.
"Go to Professor Flitwick. He'll understand." Professor McGonagall replied.
James left and McGonagall rubbed her eyes. I could've sworn I heard her say something like, just a couple more weeks.
"Back to the lesson." She replied she turned around and wrote sometime on the chalk board.
"Psst," I turned around and saw Bree waving her hands at me. I turned back at Professor McGonagall. Luckily she had her back against us.
I turned back to her, "What?" I whispered.
She held up a piece of parchment and rolled it on the ground towards me.
I reached for it but someone's foot had gotten here first. Peachy, just peachy. I looked at the owner's foot and it struck me. Those shoes...those shoes I had seen when Jacque and I were on the grounds. I looked up and Sirius and he smiled.
He slid the note towards him and picked it up. He looked back at Bree who gave him a deadly stare. Sirius, being the stupid guy he is, opened the note. Its guys like him that gives other guys a bad name.
"Mr. Black, do you have something there you would like to share with the class?" Professor McGonagall was standing over Sirius. He tried to hide the note but she took it, "I think the class would like to hear what you have to say."
She opened the note and read it aloud. Bree sunk low in her chair and I put my hands in my head afraid of what she could've written.
Lil-
Hey- I'm so bored. I don't understand a thing that is going on. I can't believe JC asked you to marry him! It's crazy! Do you think he is going to ask you again when we graduate? Write me back, please be a little rebellious and WRITE ME BACK!
Bree
Professor McGonagall looked at us both. She just stood there. Can't she say something? The whole class is staring at us, I can feel it. NOBODY was supposed to know about Jacque asking me that. Luckily she didn't put his whole name. Luckily Jacque wasn't even in the room. Luckily James wasn't in the room.
"I am not in the mood for this. Everybody open your book to page 254 and read the chapter. I suggest you read it too Miss Turner since you don't seem to understand. I want a four page essay on what you read. It is due next week. Get started." She went to her desk and sat down. That was it. No punishment. Thank god. I looked back at Bree who was staring madly at Sirius. He turned around at her, but when he saw her he turned right around and stuck his nose in his book.
For the rest of the class period nobody spoke. I tried to read the chapter but it was too hard. I was concentrating on Jacque. What if he did ask me after graduation? I haven't known him long enough. I snapped back to reality when I heard the bell sound for class to end. Bree and I walked out of class together when Sirius came running up from behind us.
"Bree!" he panted, "Bree, wait up!"
"What do you want Black!?" she only called him Black when she was really mad at him.
"Why are you walking so fast?"
"Why do you think? You just invaded my life. You don't go and read peoples notes!" she yelled at him. Everyone in the corridor looked at them as they passed by. I continued to walk and Bree followed, Sirius walked next to her.
"Bree-"
"You know Sirius, you think your boyfriend is great one moment then the next he screws up." She walked off away from Sirius. I looked at him and shrugged my shoulders before I too walked off.
Sirius hung his head; he has screwed life up...again.
