CHAPTER 12
"Is a surprise?" Harry laughed at the idea.
"Hey, more respect for your sister, and you know very well where I'm taking you lot." Lily replied.
"Oh, no, your are not thinking of… you can't be…" Harry replied unbelievingly.
"Yeah, why not?" Lily answered with a grin.
"Oh, definitely you are not the Lily Evans I know…You are drunk, you have fever, you ate something, you are sick, what is the matter Lily?" Harry asked as the rest laugh.
"What is the big problem?, where are we going?" James asked.
"Oh you will see! You really will…" Harry said sarcastically (belu t gusta como puse eso??ajaja…)
Half an hour later they were in the centre of the city. They were on the main square of it. This square was surrounded by the cathedral and the mint ( I don't know how you call the house where the governors are, and the president and all that), some houses and their gardens, but no more things than that.
James couldn't think where they were going to take him. To the cathedral? It was ridiculous.
"This way" Lily said leading them into a house there. It was small. Indeed, it was very small. It had rare bricks, and only one floor. No decorations were seen from outside. It couldn't attract less the attention.
When they reached the door she gave three knocks on it and flipped her wand cautiously for the muggles in the pitted (empredrado?) street not to see. The door opened slowly.
They all entered. There was no light inside. All around there was black, darkness.
"Hey James, come here," Lily's voice said from the other corner of the place. James went carefully, without wanting to fall with something.
"You are all ready?" Lily asked.
"Yeah" Wilson answered for them.
"Ok, then, here we go…" she said. Then she murmured something, and a small click was heard.
Suddenly the opposite wall moved apart. James jumped.
An odd place was revealed. All types of people were there. From black ones, to white ones. There were some types of magical creatures too. All sat down on tables and at their side a bar.
"You brought me to a bar?" James asked with a wide grin on his face.
"An illegal bar to be correct." Harry said.
"Yeah, here in Buenos Aires, they don't want us to put up magical bars, so, as you see, it's well hide." Lily said moving on onto a table. "Want something?" she asked them all as an old black man approached them. "Oh, hello Dig." She greeted him. "James this is Dig, Dig this is James, James Potter."
"Oh, one of those stupid English people are you?" Dig asked.
"What's the problem man?" Wilson asked the black one.
"Oh, just talking, I'm, don't bother to listen old Dig, want something?" he asked giving James a horrible look.
"A butterbeer please."
"Two of them"
"Let them be four better." Lily offered. The black one smiled at her and left.
James was surprised.
"Which is his problem?" he asked
"That's obvious." Lily said, but seeing James blank expression she explained. "You'll see, the black people aren't passing through a very good moment with the English government at the time, so you will have to get use to people treating you like that."
"Ok." James said angry. He had nothing to do with the English government, so Dig didn't have any excuse to hate him. But that was what he thought.
"Four butterbeers for the missy." Dig said reaching the table and smiling at Lily.
"Thanks Dig." She returned the face. Then the black man bowed and left.
"So, tell us James, any girlfriend left in England?" Lily asked.
"No, luckily, I don't believe very much in love at distance."
"And school? They told us there were magic schools at England, is that true? You went to one of them?" Wilson asked anxious.
James laughed. "Yeah, I went to a school, it was a pupil school, and it's name was Hogwarts." James said remembering old times. His pranks, his room, the quidditch, the House Cup, the friends, old girlfriends, the shrieking shack, the marauders map, and finally the marauders… Remus, Sirius, himself, and Peter… yes, Peter…
"You miss it?" Harry asked.
"If you go there, you can't not miss it. It's like your home." James replied, then he tried to change the topic. "Tell me about yourselves, how do you learn magic? You don't have schools, do you?"
"Schools? No we don't have, but it would be great to. We are taught everyday s new thing when we need it. By our parents, brothers, sisters, even the slaves. Doesn't matter who. Obviously mayor spells like prohibit ones, and things like divination are taught by our grandparents, cause 'they know it all, more and better than anyone'. Wilson answered bored.
"Do you practise something James?" Lily asked.
"quidditch it's my life." He said proud.
"Oh, interesting! But… what's that?" Harry asked.
"You are joking aren't you? You are telling me you don't know what quidditch is?!" James said amused. Everybody knew that!
"No, what's that?"
"You are really joking me, aren't you?"
"No." Lily said so serious that James had to believe it.
"It's the MOST AMAZING game of the world!" he answered happy.
"Better than Hextry?" Harry asked interested.
"Better than WHAT?!" James replied.
One thing was not to know quidditch, but having another game replacing it?! That was indeed something big.
"Hextry is a game." Lily replied.
"Never heard about it." James said.
"We'll teach you if you teach us qui…quidditch." She smiled.
"James did so too. "Okay, tomorrow when I finish with your father then." He said.
"Right." She said finishing her butterbeer.
"And also if you want to come, on Monday me and Wilson are going to practise." He suddenly stopped deadtrack. "OH SHIT! TODAY'S MONDAY!" he jumped from his chair. "I forgot! Practise! Today!" and he nearly run to the door. "Come on Wilson" he shouted as his brother followed him quickly. "Bye there!" he shouted again this time to Lily and James who were laughing.
"See y' later!" Wilson said disappearing with his brother through the bar's door.
So James and Lily were left alone at last.
"How long are you supposed to stay here?" Lily asked.
"One year at least"
"Oh okay."
"But I think I'll stay more."
"Right."
There was an awkward silence.
"How many of you came?"
"M… let me see… we are seven from Hogwarts… and five from St. Mungos… so we are…"
"Twelve." Lily cut him quickly. "Hey! That's quite a big number!"
"I suppose so…" James agreed.
"So, er…" Lily said but she was immediately cut by a person arriving and shouting at them.
"HEY THERE! LOOK WHO'S HERE? JAMES!!" Sirius shouted making everyone around him jump.
"An this pretty lady here is?" he asked kissing her hand and kneeling besides her.
James and Lily laugh.
"Lily, Lily Potter." She said and deciding to continue the joke she added. "A placer to meet you Sir…?"
"Sir Black please. Sir Sirius David Black. The pleasure is mine young lady." He said and turning towards James adding. "But there's no placer on meeting you Sir…?" he asked jokingly.
"Oh Sirius just drop it!" James laugh.
Sirius sat on a chair at their table. Then he realized something.
" Wait! I haven't iterrupted something, have I?"
"No!" Lily said "Is alright. I supouse you are one of James frinds from Hogwarts?"
"You are right there my lady." He bowed.
"How did you arrived here Sirius?"
"Oh, I just stepped into a very singular family who told me where to go if I was dying for a butterbeer just like now." He said with a grin.
"Want me to ask for it?" Lily smiled, and without waiting for an answer she went to look for Drill.
"Hey Jamesie! I stepped into a very singular family but you won the lottery! You stepped into a very singular woman!" he laugh as Lily left.
"Yeah!" James agreed smiling. "She's very pretty and funny indeed!"
Some minutes later Lily arrived.
"here, take this Sirius," she said handing him the butterbeer. "So guys, tell me, any girlfriend or something?"
"I'm on it definitely." Sirius said happy.
"That's great! And you James?"
"Looking for the ideal woman for me" he replied smiling. "And you Lils?"
"Seams I'm looking for him also" she returned the smile.
Sirius looked at his best friend talking so naturally with this girl. Then he saw them smiling to each other. He smiled too.
" So Lily, tell me, do you like jokes?" he asked while a mischievous grin was appearing on his handsome face.
James made her some desperate signals behind of Sirius. Lily's lips formed an evil grin. And then looking at James with it she nodded.
"Of course! I love them!" she laugh at James disappointed face.
"Perfect! So you'll like this one! Just try an' hear:" he said happy. Too happy for James.
" Once I was studying logic, so James phoned me and asked.
'What are you doing there Padfoot?'
'I'm studying logic'
'And what's logic?'
'Is like this: do you like fish?'
'Yes'
'So you like the sea?'
'Yes.'
'So you like the beach?'
'Yes.'
'So you like women?'
'Yes'
'Well, that's logic.'
Some months later James was studying logic on his room. Remus came in.
'What are you doing there James?'
'I'm studying'
'You studying?! WOW! I must be dying!... And what are you studying?'
'Logic'
'And what's that?'
'Look…do you like fish?'
'Yeah'
'So you like the sea?'
'Yeah'
'So you like the beach?'
'Yeah'
'So you like women?'
'What do you think Prongs? Obviously!'
'Well, that's logic!'
Some months later Remus was studying logic. Paul interrupted him.
'What are you studying there Moony?'
'Logic'
'Oh interesting! But what's that?'
'Do you like fishes?'
'Yes'
'So you like the sea?'
'Yes'
'So you like the beach?'
'Yes'
'So you like women?'
'That's true!'
'Okay, so that's logic'
Some months later Paul was studying logic. Snivellus came in, disturbing as usual.
'What are you studying?'
'Logic'
'And what's that?'
'Do you like fishes?'
'No'
'So you are gay! That's logic!" Sirius finished his joke and rolled form his chair of laughter. James was dying of laughter. And Lily was laughing too.
"That was, and will be the only good joke Sirius had told in all his life!" James shouted between laughter.
After a while they calmed down a bit and continued talking and Sirius telling stupid but funny jokes.
