Chapter 7: Nasty Knowledge
Lily and Blake went down and joined the famous trio at lunch. They ate quickly, and departed for their next class, the one Blake and Lily were most keen to get to, Defense Against the Dark Arts. Ever since they saw that Remus Lupin, whom they knew very well, was Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher again at Hogwarts, they were anxious to go to that class. Lupin was already there when the five of them got there, sitting at his desk. When he heard people come in the classroom, he looked up. He smiled and said,
"Afternoon you three." Harry, Ron, and Hermione all answered good afternoon. Lupin looked at the twins and said,
"Ah, you must be the new students. Pleasure to meet you, I'm Professor Lupin." He shook hands with both Lily and Blake and he looked at them carefully and said,
"I'm sorry, but have we met before?" Lily said,
"I don't think so, sir."
"Sorry, it's just you look very familiar. Maybe I know your parents." Blake looked over at his parents-to-be, and said,
"You might."
"Who are they?" Doing some quick thinking, Lily said,
"David and Elizabeth Carter." Lupin shook his head and said,
"I guess not. I don't know a David and Elizabeth Carter. Oh well." The five of them took their seats when the rest of the class entered the room, and after everyone was situated for the start of class, the lesson began.
That evening, after Lily came back from the Room of Requirement again, with more information on their parents, she said to her brother,
"Ok, we've got to get to know them. So that way we know what each of them are like."
"Right, and they already like each other, so it's just a matter of pushing them in the right direction." Lily nodded and was about to say something, but her father came and sat down next to the twins. He said,
"What's going on? People have been wondering what you two always talk about." Lily said,
"We're in the matchmaking business."
"Oh really, who are your victims?" Both Lily and Blake smiled sweetly at their father. He got the gist and said,
"Oh no, no, no, you're not setting me up with anyone."
"Oh c'mon Harry. Trust us." Lily said.
"No."
"Oh come on, you don't even know who we want to set you up with anyways."
"Who?"
"Take a wild guess. She's someone you know, and we know, fairly well. She's in the common room right now, talking with your best friend." Harry looked around and saw Ron and Hermione talking with each other. He opened his mouth to speak, but it was a while till he said,
"Hermione?" The twins nodded. Blake said,
"We figured you two would be good for each other, since you both like each other and..."
"Wait, wait, wait. How do you know that?"
"Let's just say we have our sources. And don't jump to conclusions that Ron told, cuz' he didn't, though he's about ready to slip sometimes, you can tell."
"So you knew all this by seeing it?"
"Yes and no."
"So, what do you think, do you want us to go through with our plan?" Harry thought about it, and said finally,
"Go for it." Lily grinned and said,
"Trust us, Da...Harry. We won't let you down."
"You won't regret it." Harry shook his head, smiling at his future children. He said,
"I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing."
"Trust me, it's a good thing. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must go converse with the other end of this relationship in the making." Lily stood up and went over to Hermione and Ron. Lily said,
"Ron, can I talk with Hermione for a moment?" He motioned towards her and said,
"Sure." But he didn't get up. Lily said,
"Alone, please?"
"Oh, sorry." He got up and left, going over to talk to his best friend and future godson. Hermione said,
"What's up?"
"Ok, you like Harry, correct?" Hermione didn't answer right away, then she said,
"Kinda."
"What do you mean, kinda?"
"Well, I kinda like someone else more."
"Like who?"
"Will you tell him?"
"I'll try not to."
"Will you?"
"No."
"I kinda like your brother." Lily's eyes widened and her jaw dropped. She said in shock,
"What?"
"That's right, I like your brother." 'Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew!!' Lily thought.
"Why?"
"Well, he's sweet, hot, and funny, and...I don't know, I just like him." 'God that's gross.' Lily thought.
"What about Harry?"
"What about Harry? What difference does he make?"
"I thought you liked him."
"I did. But now I like Blake." 'But he's your SON!' Lily screamed in her head. Hermione said,
"Well, I'm going to bed, see you in the morning."
"Yeah, see ya." Lily went back to her brother, godfather, and father. Blake said,
"Well?"
"Blake, I gotta talk to you. Now." Blake got up, and followed his sister to a table. They sat down and Blake said,
"What's up?"
"Well, our plan's just taken a complete unexpected turn."
"What's wrong?"
"Mum doesn't like Dad anymore."
"What'd he do?"
"Nothing, she just likes someone else."
"Who?"
"What's the next best person after Dad?"
"Ron?" Lily shook her head, looking pointedly at her brother. He caught the drift and his jaw dropped. He said,
"Ewwww. You gotta be joking."
"I'm not, why would I joke about this?"
"This is not cool."
"No shit, Sherlock."
"What are we going to do?"
"I have an idea. Ask her out...listen to me, Blake." At the sound of Lily's plan, Blake made a face. Lily continued,
"Ok, ask her out, and go out with her for a little bit, and then break her heart, and Dad'll be there on the rescue. But don't be surprised if he gets a little pissed." Blake scowled, and Lily said,
"It'll be fine, Blake."
"Easy for you to say, you don't have to date your mother."
"Trust me on this one, here, we'll talk to him, stage it, so you at least won't get the shit beat out of you by Dad when you break up with Mum." They went back to talk with Harry, and found that Ron had already left for bed. Lily said,
"Ok, we've run into a little problem."
"What kind of problem?"
"Hermione's not thinking the way we thought she would."
"Why?"
"She likes Blake now."
"Really?"
"Yeah, or at least she thinks she does. She says she doesn't like you anymore, but I know she does. I'm sure of it."
"So, now what?"
"Well, we were thinking, what if Blake were to ask Mu...Hermione out, and then, sort of break up with her, without totally breaking her heart, and you come in for the rescue?"
"You're going to use Hermione like that, just so I can go out with her? I honestly don't think I'd want to go out with her that bad to be part of a plan to break her heart just so I'll get her."
"Please, Harry, trust me, it has to work out this way, and you have to end up with Hermione."
"Why?"
"Let's just say that people are depending on it, and leave it at that." Harry thought about it, sighed and said,
"Fine. But don't hurt her. I'll beat the shit outta ya if you do." Blake nodded and Harry went up to bed. Lily said,
"God, I never thought I'd see the day when Dad defended Mum, he actually doesn't want anyone to hurt her, that's like totally different."
"Lily, I don't want to do this, it's like incest."
"No, it's not, you're not going to have sex with her, thank God, you're just going to go out with her. Hopefully she doesn't want to move to fast."
"Hopefully she doesn't want to move...Lily, Mum and Dad weren't even together and they ended up having sex! If that's not wanting to move fast then what the hell is your definition of it?"
"Yes, but see, he had a say in it too, it wasn't all just her."
"How do you know that?"
"If that was the case, she should've planned a little better then. Besides, the night of their fling was right after Gryffindor won the Quidditch Cup. So, yeah, you know." Blake made a face again and whined,
"But, Lily..."
"Stop whining, nothing will happen. Just ask her out tomorrow morning."
"I'm gonna kill you if this turns out all wrong and nasty."
"Believe me, you'd probably kill yourself first." Blake sighed and said,
"This better work."
"It will, trust me."
A/N: Well, how'd you like this twist? Kinda icky, but yeah, nothing's gonna happen like...that, if ya know what I mean. I couldn't even write something like that, it's just...eww. So, please REVIEW!!!! Thanks to all who have reviewed already, love you lots!!
