Summary: Lilly and the 4 Marauders have just started their last and final year in Hogwarts. What happens when Lily finds herself falling for James?
-All You Need Is Love- Chapter 3: The Detention and The Ball
Previously on All You Need Is Love...
"Thanks James," said Lily, smiling up at the handsome boy in front of her.
"For what?"
"For... for everything."
James grinned and went nearer to her to give her a big bear hug.
'Oh Lily..." thought James, 'If only we were... so much more than friends..."
At Dumbledore's Office...
"Professor! We humbly swear that we were fighting for the good of our people!" protested Sirius.
"Yeah," backed up Anastasia, blushing furiously as she did. She was still holding Sirius' hand.
"I swear! Snivellus and Malfoy were being molesters to our friends! They deserved to be attacked! We don't deserve detentions for 2 weeks!" bellowed Remus.
"THEY DO!" cried Peter, pointing an accusing finger at the two teenage Slytherin's.
"Mister Black, Mister Lupin, Miss Royce, and Mister Pettigrew, I fully understand your arguement and I have already said that Mister Snape and Mister Malfoy will be joining you for your detentions as well -" started Professor Dumbledore.
"WHAT?!" yelled all teenagers at the same time.
"I am not doing my detentions with those freaks!" insisted Lucius.
"Language, Mister Malfoy!" said Dumbledore sternly.
"But professor!" wailed Bluzimier, "if we are forced to have detentions with those two, it will be like double detentions!"
"You think you're having the worse end of the stick?" said Severus, "Well, I think that we should all be seperated into two groups for detention, so that no more fights will... accidentally start again!"
"For the first and last time in my life, I actually agree with you, Snivellus," said Sirius mockingly.
"Oh my gaad! Mister Bow Wow I'm-The-King-Of-The-World-Slimeball actually talked to me! I am so honoured!" sneered Snape sarcastically as Anastasia glared at him.
"Hey," snarled Sirius, "i was just trying to be friendly!"
"Black? Friendly to us?" spat out Lucius scathingly, "Oh my lord! The world is coming to an end!"
Anastasia made to beat Lucius up, but Sirius held him back, "We don't want to get into more trouble, do we?" whispered Sirius as Anastasia sighed heavily and slowly nodded.
"Shut up you son of a-" started Lupin, snarling at Lucius.
"That would be enough," glared Dumbledore.
"Yes Professor," all five said in unision.
"I have decided that you will, indeed, be split up into two groups-"
"Phew..." all the teenagers sighed in relief.
"-the groups will be," continued Professor Dumblefore as though he had not heard them, "Mister Lupin, Miss Lo, Mister Pettigrew and Mister Snape will be in one group and Mister Malfoy, Miss Royce and Mister Black will be in the other."
"WHAT?!" yelled the boys, with echos of, "Oh my GOD!" and "You cannot be serious!" from the girls.
"That will be the arrangements and I trust none of you will object..." said Dumbledore.
The teenage witches and wizards were not listening anymore, though, all you could see was Sirius and Lucius sending death glares to each other and Peter, Remus and Severus snarling and cracking their knuckles. A few swear words were exchanged. Very softly though, and only if you listened closely, you would actually think that they accepted Dumbledore's decision.
Though Dumbledore heard all the words exchanged, he turned a deaf ear to them and smiled amusedly, "You may all go back to your dormitories now, I trust you are all tired."
"Yes Headmaster," drawled all the boys and girls before leaving as fast as they could.
Detention : Remus, Peter, Bluzimier and Severus - Sentenced to Wash and Clean the Potions' Classroom without magic and dissect Frogs for Professor Cormack, their Potions Master.
"Snivellus!" barked Remus, "Hand over that bar of soap!"
Snape picked up the slippery bar of soap and threw it roughly at Remus, but completely missing him and hitting Bluzimier on the stomach instead.
"Ooww!" cried the blonde girl, doubling over where she was shelving books.
"Oi!" shouted Peter.
"Are you okay?" asked Remus in a concerned tone as he walked over to the girl of his dreams. Bluzimier nodded, blushing at the concern Remus was showing.
"Watch it, Moony, there are secrets that your little blonde friend wouldn't want to know..." sneered Snape as Bluzimier looked up curiuosly and Peter gasped loudly.
"You shut up, Snivellus, or you'll pay," snarled Remus softly.
"Whats going on?" asked Bluzimier.
"Nothing's going on, babe," replied Remus absent mindedly. But, once both of them realized what he had said, they started blushing furiously.
"Love birds..." sniggered Peter.
"Dumb puppy love..." sneered Snape.
"Students! I hope you have finished clearing the place up?" asked Professor Cormack as he walked out of his office and into the classroom.
"Yes, Professor," said the detention-ies in unision.
"Good, we can start dissecting frogs now," said the Professor, clapping his hands in delight.
Bluzimier looked like she was going to faint, Remus and Peter looked horrified but Severus looked delighted! The four teenagers and the professor walked into another room, they saw a table with bloodied tools and frog's intestines everywhere, beside that, there was a whole box of dead frogs on the floor. But they were not too sure, some of the frog's legs were moving. Sure, they've dissected frogs before, but this was nasty!
Severus gave a squeak of delight as he saw the whole pile of frogs just waiting to be dissected. Remus and Peter turned green and started making odd choking noises. Bluzimier, however, took one look at the scene in front of her and dropped into a dead faint. But, Remus, however, thanks to his quick reflexes in Quidditch, caught her just before she hit the floor.
Professor Cormack and Severus was too preoccupied dissecting frogs to notice that the blonde girl had fainted.
"Umm, Professor?" squeaked Peter timidly.
"Hush!" snapped the Potions Master, "Can't you see that I'm terribly busy right now?"
"Umm, yes," answered Peter, "So can we go now?"
"Huh? Just go!" replied Professor Cormack distractedly, waving one bloodied hand around distractedly. Severus was too caught up in his work to notice what was going on right in front of his nose.
"C'mon," said Remus, "We got to take her back to the common room."
"Yeah..."
"Wingardium Leviosa," whispered Remus, pointing his wand at the beautiful, unconsious girl in his arms. Bluzimier gently floated up and gracefully floated beside the two boys as they walked up the steps of the cold, sinister dungeons.
When they reached the Fat Lady guarding their common room, Remus and Peter heard footsteps behind them, only to see a very angry Sirius and Anastasia, holding hands and walking up, their robes torn and smudged, their hair full of leaves and twigs and their lips red and puffy...
Detention: Sirius, Anastasia and Lucius - Sentenced to look for Evergreen Ferns for Professor Beanpeas, their Herbology Professor.
"Will you two love birds just quit kissing and start looking for those damned ferns, please!" yelled Lucius.
"We weren't kissing!" said Anastasia as she walked out from behind a big oak tree, blushing and holding Sirius' hand.
"I'd love to believe that little lie, but then whats those lip gloss marks all over Black's face and that hickey on your neck doing there?" sneered Lucius sarcastically, poting at the two of them.
"We... we... we were..." spluttered Sirius as he hastily wiped his face with his cloak and standing in front of Anastasia to block her from Lucius' view.
"Lost for words?" asked Malfoy, looking positively delighted.
"Oh, quiet, Malfoy!" said Anastasia from behind Sirius, still blushing deeply.
"Oh quiet, you mudblood and get on with looking for that damned ferns!" snarled Lucius.
"How dare you!" shouted Sirius, "Don't you call her that, you filty bastard!"
Sirius ran over to Lucius and before anyone could do anything, he had Lucius in a headlock and had given him a bloody nose.
"You... you...!" spluttered Lucius, clutching his bloody nose.
"Me... me...!" mocked Sirius.
"Wingardium Leviosa!" cried Lucius before anyone could re-act, he pointed his wand at the top of the big oak tree and whispered, "Finite Incantatum."
So, Anastasia and Sirius were stuck at the top of the tree, after being very roughly dumped there.
Lucius just summoned the ferns to himself and couldn't resist shouting up to the two snarling teenagers who were trying to make their way down, "Hey, Black!"
"What?"
"Tell your snog mate she has nice lacy underwear!" yelled Lucius mockingly.
"Scrub your eyes out, Malfoy!" bellowed Sirius. Lucius just shrugged and continued walking. Only pausing to rub his head when Sirius threw a particaularly large acorn at him.
"C'mon," said Anastasia, "Lets get out of here."
Sirius turned to face his Russian princess, only to come face to face with her lips, as she was a few branches up, trying to get down. He tried to resist, he really did, but he just couldn't help it and gave in completely to her luscious pink lips. He dragged her down and kissed her. It wasn't a soft, gentle, loving kiss, but a rough, intense one, full of lust and tongues.
Meanwhile, Lucius Malfoy was just handing the ferns to Professor Beanpeas.
"Where are your other two friends?" asked the professor curiously.
"Oh, my... my two friends are... otherwise... ummm... pre-occupied!" answered Lucius, stuttering a little, "yeah, thats it, their... pre-occupied!"
The professor looked at him suspiciously for a few seconds before nodding and dismissing him.
After 10 minutes, Sirius and Anastasia came out of the forest, holding hands, but grumbling, looking awfully dirty and cursing Lucius. They had a nice snogathon alright, but then, they were kissing at the bottom branches and toppled down when the kiss intensified. Anastasia had landed on top of Sirius.
When they reached the common room, they came face to face with Remus and Peter with Anastasia floasting mysteriously beside the two wizards...
"What happened?" they all asked at the same time. Sirius and Anastasia asking about Bluzimier floating in front of Remus. Peter and Remus asking about their untidy state.
"Lets go in first," muttered Sirius.
"You know you can tidy yourselves up with just one easy spell?" said Remus mockingly.
"Sorry, not in the mood to fool around," growled Anastasia.
"Hey James, Lily," said Peter, waving cheerfully to the Head Boy and Head Girl who was just coming into the Gryfindor common room.
"Hey!" answered Lily cheerfully, then, spotting Bluzimier still floating aimlessly in the air, she shrieked, "Oh my god, what happened?!"
"Thats what me and Sirius were trying to find out," answered Anastasia.
"Lets just sit first, then we'll talk," said James soothingly.
"Scorgify," muttered Lily, pointing his wands to both Sirius and Anastasia in turn once they reached the comfy sofas in the well lit Gryfindor common room.
"Thanks..." mumbled both Sirius and Anastasia.
Sirius and Anastasia were the last to reach the sofa's and there was only one couch left, so, Sirius sat there and Anastasia sat on his lap. Sirius looked like Christmas came early but Anastasia's expression was just blank.
"So what happened?" asked Lily again, as Remus floated Bluzimier slowly into his arms and pointed his wand at her forehead, muttering, "Enervate."
Bluzimier slowly awoke, finding herself in Remus' arms. She smiled sheepishly, and then, realizing that she had an audience, gasped and asked, "What happened?"
"Thats what we'll all like to know," said James.
"We'll tell," muttered Anastasia, leaning back to lie on Sirius' chest and yawning silently, Sirius' face lit up like a Christmas tree and automatically put his arms around her protectively, "but Moony and Wormtail has to tell first..."
"Fine," said Peter, and told them what happened.
After Peter finished, Sirius told them their story, as Anastasia had already fallen asleep, conviniently forgetting the bits where Lucius saw the lip gloss and hickey and making it sound like Lucius was just being a jerk and floated them up to the top of the tree.
"Damn, we still have 9 more detentions to go!" wailed Peter and Bluzimier.
"Don't worry, you'll make it through!" sniggered James.
Suddenly, Anastasia started twitching uncontrollably.
"Oh no...!" wailed Lily, "Its starting again!"
"Oh my god!" cried Sirius, "Whats happening? Whats happening to Anastasia?"
"Shut up!" shouted Bluzimier, "Its a long story! We have to take her to the hospital wing, quick! We'll explain later."
"But its too early!" exclaimed Lily.
"I don't know why its early, but it must be something real important for it to come in advance..." muttered Bluzimier, looking worriedly at her friend in Sirius' arms as they rushed to the hospital wing. Anastasia was still twitching.
"Oh no!" cried Madame Pomfrey, "Its early!"
"Damn," cried James, "Why do I have a feeling that us four guys are the only ones who have no idea whats going on?"
"We'll explain later," was Lily's only reply.
"Put her in Bed 5 please!" said Madame Pomfrey. Anastasia had turned icyly cold. "Oh, Christ, no, her condition is unstable! We'll have to tell the Headmaster about this!"
Madame Pomfrey stuck her head into the fire after throwing in a bout of floo powder and started talking to someone on the other end. She ran back to Anastasia's bedside only a few seconds later. After a few moments, Professor Dumbledore himself emerged from the flames of the fire and walked swiftly to Anastasia. His expression was filled with grim and sorrow.
"This is a terrible vision," muttered Dumbledore as he looked at the trembling girl.
As if on cue, Anastasia suddenly started screaming and twitching as Dumbledore observed her, frowning. Sirius immediately ran to her and held her hand.
"Sirius!" she screamed, "Sirius, take Lily and James and run! Now! I'll hold him off! Remus is in the garden with Bluzimier! Someone betrayed us! GO! I'll hold him off! I love you too, go NOW! Tell Dumbledore, GET DUMBLEDORE!"
That was the last Bluzimier said before she blacked out.
An Hour Later...
"You see, guys," started Lily, "Anastasia is... she is a Seer."
"WHAT?!" cried all the boys.
"She gets a vision," continued Bluzimier, "Once in two months, she'll start having a vision. Normally, it happens during the end of the month, its odd coz... now its just... its just..."
"The beginning of the month..." whispered Sirius, looking more than a little shell shocked.
"Why didn't she tell us?" asked James, looking worriedly at the beautiful girl lying on the bed.
"She was afraid," answered Lily.
"It took us two years to find out why she kept leaving every two months and pry it out of her," said Bluzimier.
"We're her best friends and it took so long to pry it out of her, how long did you expect her to take to tell you guys?" asked Lily.
"Why was she calling out and yelling and twitching?" asked Peter, looking at a very pale Anastasia, lying on the bed.
"It happens..."
Surprisingly, the month whizzed by quickly and before anyone knew it, it was one week til Halloween! During the past month, the maruaders had been doing their usuals of pranking and being a laugh, getting into more detentions than Lily ever had in her lifetime. The scene during the first day of their last year was forgotten, as was the detention and Anastasia's abilities.. Lily and her girls were actually beginning to like being pranked by the marauders and almost everyday, the students of Hogwarts would see either Lily, Bluzimier or Anastasia with different hairstyles and colors of the rainbow streaked into their hair thanks to the marauders.
On this particularly Wednesday, Professor Dumbledore stood up during breakfast and called for attention.
"Will the Head Boy and Girl, along with all the prefects please meet together for a meeting at five at the East Wing. Don't be late, it will be a very exciting meeting," said the tall man.
After his little talk, the students of Hogwarts started chattering loudly to each other, talking about what the heck would the prefects suddenly meet when it was not even two months into the school year. What could be happening?
"James!" yelled Lily as she crashed into the tall, jet-black haired man as she rounded the corner. Lily reached out and held on to James to support herself as he put his arms around her waist to prevent her from getting hurt.
"Geez guys, get a room!" said an oh so familiar voice from behind them. Lily and James both sprang apart, only to find Remus and Bluzimier laughing their heads off at the Heads. (As in the Heads in status, not the thing on top of your shoulder...). Remus and Bluzimier were the prefects of Gryffindor.
"C'mon guys, or we're going to be late!" shrieked Lily as she looked at her watch and started to sprint up the last flight of staircase.
"Nice of you to join us, Mister Potter, Miss Evans, Miss Lo, Mister Lupin," said Dumbledore sternly, though his eyes were twinkling.
Lily, always the leader, took charge immediately, "We're sorry professor, I promise it will not happen again. This was a mere blip in our otherwise excellent performance."
"Good, I hope you will keep you word."
"Yes, Professor Dumbledore."
"I call you all here to tell you that there will be a Halloween's ball coming up." said Professor Dumbledore to the eagerly listening students.
"Slytherin prefects will be taking care of the booking of bands and the food and drinks, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff prefects will be making and ordering the decorations as well as putting them up around the castle and in the Great Hall. Gryfindors will be decorating the castle grounds. I hope you will all set to doing your tasks as best as you can," said Dumbledore, smiling serenely at all the prefects.
The prefects of Hogwarts were already discussing about the Ball and not really listening to DUmbledore anymore.
Dumbledore cleared his throat, "This will be a costume ball. Only forth years and above can attend and you must dress like your partner. Is that clear?"
"Yes, Professor," answered the prefects in unision.
"Excellent, have a good night. I will announce to the school about the ball tomorrow morning."
James and Lily somehow had a feeling that this would be a very interesting ball...
A very interesting Halloween night it would be!
