Chapter three: The First Hogsmeade Weekend
" Lil, WAKE UP!" Brittany shouted shaking Lily till she woke up.
" Alright already, I'm awake." Lily sleepily replied," Why are we waking up so early anyway?"
" So we don't get followed by the mauraders in Hogsmeade. You know they always sleep in on Saturdays." Brittany explained
" I see your point." Lily said hurrying to get ready
Soon they were finally ready and decided that the mauraders were still probably asleep, but just incase Lily creeped down the stair very quietly and still out of sight to the people in the common room. When she got as far as she could go she saw who was in the common room, just her luck, the mauraders. She quietly ran back up to Brittany.
" They're down there waiting." Lily exclaimed
" What!? I was sure that they wouldn't be awake yet." Brittany shouted in a whisper
" Well they are, and they're waiting for us." Lily answered
" Did they see you?" Brittany asked
" No." Lily replied
" Okay here's what we do," Brittany said as if she had a plan," We'll run as fast as we can out the portrait door, that way they won't be able to see nor catch us!"
" Brilliant." Lily exclaimed
" Alright when I count to three." Brittany stated," one," they moved closer," two," more closer and ready to run," THREE!"
And with that the two girls went running as fast as possible to the portrait door, but seeing as there was a couch in their way they decided they didn't even care. They jumped the couch and ran out the portrait door, but not before Sirius could say," There they go, let's get them!" and just like that the three mauraders were on their tails. It was a site to see, they were running past teachers ignoring their calls to stop, and they ran into the hogsmeade entrance and found themselves running through Hogsmeade. Soon they went into the Three Broomsticks, hoping the mauraders didn't see. They sat in a booth a caught their breathes when a waitress came to their table.
" What will you ladies be having?" she asked
" WATER!" Brittany answered, catching her breath
So they gave the waitress the money and she gave them their waters. Finally they were relaxing when they heard a familiar voice say," There they are, block the exits!" Lily and Brittany looked at each other in pure horror, and then looked out the window to see three mauraders heading for the exits.
" Lil, they got us trapped!" Brittany exclaimed
" Not yet, follow me." Lily instructed, leading Brittany to the girl's bathroom
" Why are we in the girl's bathroom?" Brittany asked
" Because, the girl's bathroom has a window, that two girl can climb through." Lily answered smiling
" Brilliant!" Brittany replied, and Lily climbed out the window, the Brittany followed.
As soon as they got out the window they walked to Brittany's quidditch store like they said they would.
Meanwhile
" Face it Prongs, they're never coming out!" Sirius whined
" Then let's go get them!" James replied
So the three mauraders walked into the store and went to the counter. There was the waitress who served the girls their waters.
" Um, excuse me Miss. Have two girls, one with brown hair, the other with red, left this pub?" Remus asked politely
" Yes, as a matter of fact, they did. Seemed in a bit of a hurry too." The waitress replied
" Where did they exit?" asked Sirius
" Of all places, they went out the bathroom window." she replied
" Oh thank you." James replied as the three exited the pub.
" I can't believe they tricked us." Sirius said in shock
" Now where can we find them?" James asked
" Well after the Three Broomsticks, Britt wanted to go that quidditch store." Remus said
" Moony, your brilliant!" James stated as they ran toward the store
" Now guys remember, the art of surprise is always best. So let's sneak up on them." Sirius stated grinning evilly
They entered the store quietly as possible and looked around for the girls. Remus decided to go over to the brooms to look for Brittany, while Sirius and James went to the polish to go find Lily ( Because they knew that Lily would put up a big fight.)
Remus was right about where Brittany was. Brittany was looking at the latest broom when two strong arms wrapped around her waist.
" What the heck?" Brittany said, horrified that this might be a stranger who had come up behind her. She turned around to see Remus' smiling face.
" Oh no! It's you." She said trying to get free but failed.
Finally Remus had to pick her up to get her to come over to the others. He knew that Brittany would try to warn Lily so he put his hand over her mouth so nobody could hear her. They soon reached where James and Sirius were getting ready to capture Lily. Brittany tried her best to warn Lily but all that came out was," lkadjfadfadiec." Which I, the narrator, can't even understand. Remus just stood there smiling.
Lily was reading a book about broom polish, when suddenly two hands were put on each of her arms. Which belonged to a grinning James and Sirius. So finally it came to the point were the mauraders had to carrying both girls out of the shop. They decided to go back up to the castle since there was nothing left to do in Hogsmeade. When they got there the guy went up to their dorm and put the girls down. The first thing that came out of Lily's mouth was,
" HOW DARE YOU!"
Brittany just stood there with an expression like she had just seen a ghost.
" You can't do that." Lily stated
" Oh, but we just did." James said smiling
" Well we're leaving." Lily said
" Oh no your not." Sirius said
" Oh yes we are." Brittany finally spoke
" Oh no your not." Remus said
" Watch us." Lily said, as she and Brittany went over to the door
Lily turned the knob, but the door wouldn't open. Lily shook the knob and turned it at the same time and it still wouldn't open. Finally Brittany got an idea. ( Brittany's a muggleborn to which will explain what happens next, that's also how Lily and Brittany meet, they've been friends since they were 2 years old)
" Alright Lil, this is where those three years of marshal arts come in handy." Brittany said, breathing in deeply. Lily couldn't believe what her best friend was about to do. Brittany finally finished breathing and she took marshal arts form and kicked the door as hard as she could.
" OWWWWWWWWW!" Brittany screamed, as you might have guessed. The door didn't break open, but Brittany made a big, big, big idiot out of herself.
" Oh My God! Britt are you ok." Lily and Remus both said at the same time
Brittany simply limped over to Remus' bed, sat down, picked up his pillow, put it to her face and yelled," I HATE MARSHAL ARTS!" as loud as she possible could. Then she stood up, and walked back over to the others, who were now laughing madly. Brittany took advantage of the boys disconcentration, and turn the knob. It open and she grabbed Lily's hand, since she hadn't notice as well, and they both ran out the door, and up to their dorm.
" SWEET FREEDOM!" Brittany yelled as they made it to their dorm
" Lil, WAKE UP!" Brittany shouted shaking Lily till she woke up.
" Alright already, I'm awake." Lily sleepily replied," Why are we waking up so early anyway?"
" So we don't get followed by the mauraders in Hogsmeade. You know they always sleep in on Saturdays." Brittany explained
