Chapter 5: Return of the Lost
"Oh my God. No way in hell," said Christy, staring at them. Kaitln dropped her happy expression.
"What the bloody hell is THAT supposed to mean? Aren't you happy for me? For him?" she shrieked.
"Yes but...what about...Lindsey?" Christy said, almost in a whisper, her eyes tearing up. Sirius took her hand.
"Yeah. Wouldn't this be like...semi-betrayl?" he asked. Kaitlin and Remus glared at him.
"Just because we are trying to move on and have a life without mourning every second doesn't mean we're betraying her,Sirius,"said Remus.
"Yeah, but I mean...whatever, if ya'll are happy it's all good," Christy added quickly. Kaitlin looked relieved.
"That's good," she said. Lily and James came downstairs suddenly.
"What's all the racket?" Lily asked.
"Remus and Kaitlin are together," Sirius said. Lily looked stunned for a moment, her eyes filling with tears.
"GOD YOU STUPID SLUT!!! YOU'RE SUCH A BITCH!!" she screamed and ran back upstairs, crying. James stared at them, then
followed Lily.
"WHAT WAS THAT?!?!" Kaitlin screeched up the stairs. "I'm not a slut!" she said, making her way slowly to the couch and
falling onto it, starting to cry.
"I guess she said that because you've had so many boyfriends..." Sirius said thoughtfully.
"And who asked you?" Kaitlin snapped, glaring at him.
"I didn't mean you were one, I just meant that you've had a few boyfriends that's all!" he said quickly. Kaitlin sighed and leaned back.
"I didn't mean to lose any friends when I did this," she moaned. "I just wanted to be happy"
***********
Lily threw herself on her bed and cried. "I can't believe her, Lindsey is supposed to be her best friend and then she goes
and dates her boyfriend! What the hell?!?!" Lily yelled into her pillow.
"Lily?" She looked up and saw James standing in the doorway. She choked down a sob and he walked over to her. "Shhh..." he
said, hugging her.
"This is a nightmare. My best friend dies and my other best friend starts dating her boyfriend. It's like some sick soap
opera gone horribly wrong."
"Sweetie it's going to be ok. Maybe they don't really care for each other, and are just trying to help each other through the whole Lindsey thing."
"Oh yeah them not caring about each other is going to make it so much better!!"
"That's not what I meant...but I see your point."
_-_-_-_-_-_
The next day at training, a stony silence remained between Lily and Kaitlin, and they battled more ferociously than ever. Christy remained at a loss of what to do.
"Sirius what do I do?" she asked Sirius one day.
"I don't know. Remus and James are okay, but I don't know what it is about women that just...."
"Hey what's that supposed to mean?
_-_-_-_-_-_
"Lily, why are you mad at me?" Kaitlin asked after three days of this.
"Because it's like you don't even care that Remus supposedly loved Lindsey, and now you're going out with him!" Lily replied angrily.
"I do care about Lindsey! I loved her like my own sister!"
"You don't act like it!"
"I'm just trying to get over a lot of saddnes in my life, and this is the only way I know how!"
"Well gosh couldn't you find someone that wasn't supposed to be in love with Lindsey?"
"Oh sure I'll just walk up to some random guy and say 'Hey I hope you never loved Lindsey Dellinger from Hogwarts, will you go out with me?'"
"That's not what I meant!"
"Well you should be more precise!"
"Well you shouldn't be such a bitch!"
Kaitlin gasped. "I can't believe you, Lily Marie Evans!" she screamed.
"Well I can't beleive you either! You totally deserved that, Kaitiln Elizabeth Hyatt!!"
"Our friendship is over!!"
_-_-_-_-_-_-_
"James, I need you to go on a raid for me."
James stared at Dumbledore. It was now October, 1977. Lily and Kaitlin had maintained their non existant friendship this whole time,even during what would have been Lindsey's 18th birthday on October 19th and Kaitlin's birthday on the 19th, and Dumbledore had still not sent them on a mission but had continued their vigorous training.
"Excuse me sir? You really need to send us out?" Excitement filled his voice.
"Yes, James, you and your friends are needed in the Prewitt's place."
"Wow. When it is?"
"Tonight. I need you, Sirius, Remus, everyone."
"Yes sir!"
* * * * * *
"Guys guess what?!" James yelled as he apparated into the mansion.
"What?" Sirius said. He had been laying down on the couch, but suddenly Christy Apparated on top of him.
"Oww!! Get off!!" he said. Christy grinned.
"I'm not sure I want to. I'm quite comfortable," she said. She was sitting on his stomach, then suddenly Kaitlin Apparated on top of them.
"Is this some kind of 'ruin Sirius's nap' day or something? GET OFF!" he yelled. Christy and Kaitlin laughed as they jumped off him. Lily apparated beside James.
"What's going on?" she asked. Remus appeared seconds later.
"Dumbledore wants us to go on a raid tonight!" he announced, grinning. Everyone gasped.
"Really!?!?" Sirius asked, leaping to his feet.
"What time?" Lily asked.
"He said 8 o' clock, and we need to meet in London. He didn't specify where exactly we are going, just where we are meeting."
"Oh that's AWESOME!" Christy said, grinning.
"What time is it now?" Kaitlin asked, realizing she wasn't wearing a watch. Remus looked at his.
"6 o' clock."
"Why don't we train for a while?" James suggested.
"Allright," Lily said, smiling as they walked to the basement.
_-_-_-_-_-_
An hour later, they walked out of the basement grinning.
"We are so ready for those losers!" Kaitlin said, pushing her hair behind her ear.
"Definitely," Christy agreed.
"We should take showers and eat now, so we'll have energy," Lily said.
"I get first shower!" everyone called at the same time. They glared playfully at each other, except Kaitlin and Lily. When their eyes met it was no playful glare.
"Uhh...right, well let's do the usual shall we?" Christy said uncomfortably.
"Ok," Sirius said. He took at his wand and a hat and parchment and a quill appeared when he waved it. They all wrote their names on torn off pieces of the parchment, and put it in the hat. Sirius put his wand in the hat and lifted the first name it touched out.
"Christy gets to go first," he said. After doing this 5 more times, the order turned out to be Christy, Lily, Kaitlin, Remus, James, then Sirius.
"I'll cook dinner while Christy showers," Lily said. Lily walked off to the kitchen, Remus and Kaitlin flopped down on the couch, James walked off to the library with Sirius in tow, and Christy headed off to the luxurious bathroom 2 floors above.
"Why do things have to be this way?" Christy asked herself as she stripped down. She stepped into the warm shower and washed her hair quickly, all kinds of thoughts drifting into her mind.
'What if one of us dies?' 'What if Kaitlin and Lily never make up?' 'What if I die?'
* * * * * * *
"Remus..." Kaitlin murmured as she leaned against her boyfriend. He looked down at her.
"Yeah?"
"We aren't in love," she announced.
"Well, duh," he said, smiling slightly.
"It doesn't feel right to be going out with you," she said sadly. Remus frowned.
"What do you mean?"
"I don't mean that you're not a great person. I...just...I don't think we're going out because we like each other. I think we're doing it to give us something to do. To get over our painful memories."
"I see what you mean." They sat in silence for a while.
"I'm sorry," Kaitlin said finally. Tears welled up in her eyes.
"Don't cry. You've no reason to be sorry," Remus said, looking at her in surprise.
"Yes I do...it's my fault, I shouldn't have asked you out. Just for my own petty reasons..." She laughed without humour. Remus shook his head.
"I shouldn't have accepted, for the same reasons."
"Do you think we should break up?" She asked the question tentatively.
"Yeah...I guess so." There was an awkward silence. Kaitlin sat up.
"Still friends?"
"Yeah."
Christy walked down the stairs just then, hair dripping wet, in a black long sleeve shirt and jeans.
"Who's next?" she asked. She sniffed the air. "Lily's cooking, I guess? Smells good," she said.
"I'm next," Lily said. She walked upstairs to the shower.
_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Christy and Lily sat chatting on the couch as Sirius took his shower. They had all eaten a delicious dinner, made by Lily. It was 7:30 and they were all preparing for the raid.Suddenly they heard a knock on the door. James walked over to the door and opened it, then screamed.
"OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!" Everyone ran over to see what happened. As they reached the doorway, they all screamed like all hell had broken loose.
"LINDSEY!?!?!?!?"
Lindsey Dellinger stood smiling in the doorway.
A/N: MWUHAHAH I told you everything was not as it seemed!!!!! Aren't you shocked? Major cliffie, eh? Hahah, you know you love me. ^_^; Wait till the next chapter, Lindsey's Story! sorry that this chapter was unnaturally short, but I couldn't think of lotsa things to put in. So, sorry. But hey at least Lindsey's back,right? Right!
upload documents for some reason and then it said it didn't have the right ending (.doc or something, .txt, whatever) but mine ended in .rft or something..
but I'm over it and back in action!! So new chappies are commin MUCH FASTER!!! ^_^ You hate the cliffies, eh? LIVE WITH IT! AHAHAHAHAHA
