Chapter 5.....The survey
Everyone was in the hall when the tables were filled with scrolls and quills. A middle aged man strolled out.
"Welcome magical class of 1972, to your 2 years after reunion" Said the headmaster, Dumbledore. A mild applause was produced.
"Looking around, I see so much intelligent people, in which I must say, are all because of this fine headmaster you have had. I see some aurous in training, some reporters and some fine looking lads." He continued.
Sirius pounded his chest and said, "Aw shucks!"
"Then, there are just some fools." Dumbledore said, peering over his half moon glasses at Sirus with a grin on his face. He cleared his throat after a whisper from Professor Tillikin, the transfiguration teacher.
"Getting to the point though, in front of you is a survey. Please fill it out, and then we will get on to some fun!" Everyone sat down and started to fill out the questions.
Lily Evans loved surveys, and this was no different.
Funniest boy:
She hesitated then wrote Sirus Black.
Most successful in two years: Rita Skeeter
Best looking guy and girl: Delicia Chang and
She stopped and glanced over at James potter who had his devil grin on. She smiled.
James Potter.
She tried to scribble it out, but it wouldn't let her. Damn it!. She thought. It's the un-un-do-able charm. She sighed and continued.
Best couple: The longbottoms
The couple that should have been: She chewed her fingers. She scribbled in Sandy Roberts and Remus Lupin.
She then filled in the other silly questions, which was obviously Dumbledore's, such as 'Person most likely to die in a flood of butter beer' and, 'Person who looks the most like the strawberry cheesecake berty bott every flavour bean'
James Potter and Sirus Black sat next to each other and got out the quills and started.
Funniest boy: James wrote James Potter and Sirus wrote Sirus Black.
they looked at each other with menacing looks.
Most successful in two years: Once again, they wrote their own names. They started to ridicule the other when they were told 2 minutes were left.
Best looking guy and girl: James of course, wrote James Potter, and Sirus wrote Sirus Black AKA Mr HOT HOT HOT.
James sneered and then glanced over at lily Evans who was concentrating hard.
"Just write it..you know you want to!!" Sirus exclaimed after writing himself Lily Evans.
James hastily scribbled in Lily Evans.
Best couple: Out of spite he wrote Ella and Thomas and then tried to rub it out. Sirus laughed.
"It's the un-un-do-able charm, idiot!" he said..
James face filled with fear. He never meant it!! He was worried, but didn't show It and continued.
Couple that should have been: Sirus immediately wrote in Lily and Jamesie boy, and James tried to tackle him, unsuccessfully.
So James wrote in Snape and Black (after their end of year kissing incident, who wouldn't agree?)
After having a laugh with the last questions, he chanted 'Wingardium Leviosa!' like the rest of the hall, and placed all the papers on the magical counter, a countasia.
The counter started off with Funniest boy. T
he countasia sometimes read out some answers, and the name of the person who wrote it.
"Lily Evans wrote" he started in his mechanical voice, "Sirus Black"
Sirus yelled out "I LOVE YOU LILY!!"
"Trixie Furbie wrote James Potter"
"Sirus black wrote Sirus Black"
The great hall roared with laughter. "But..the winner is....James Potter" Sirus sulked while James cheered, not glancing at Lily.
"Most successful in two years." The countasia announced.
"Ella Pearson wrote Lily Evans" Lily scowled.
"Tuyn Diolkenny wrote Rita Skeeter"
"And so did most people, as she won!" Rita smiled in her superior way.
"Best looking guy and girl"
After many people saying james and Lily, the countasia came to what lily said,
"Lily Evans said" James crossed his finger "James Potter and Delicia Chang"
James opened his mouth in surprise and smiled at Lily, who was in a brilliant shade of red, smiled back.
"James Potter wrote James Potter and Lily Evans"
Lily smiled and him and they gazed at eachother, and were both filled with a ray of hope.
"Sirus Black wrote Lily Evans and Sirus Black, Aka Mr HOT HOT HOT"
The whole hall started thrown things at Sirus.
"The Winner is James and Lily"
They smiled at eachother again, and both mouthed sorry .
YES! James thought.
YES! Lily Thought.
For the moment, everything was finally working out.
"Best couple"
"Talia Chipinie said the longbottoms"
"Sandy Roberts said the longbottoms"
"Robter Gould said the Longbottoms"
"Harry Olsen said the Longbottoms"
"James potter said Ella and Thomas"
The marauders and lily's friends gasped. The longbottoms, who didn't know who they were, laughed at the break. Lily gazed at James with a hurt look. He tried to protest without saying anything, but she just gave him a cold, icy glare. She was in disbelief.
DAMN IT! james thought. It was just good again.
Lily looked to the front then walked out followed by Sandy and Talia. James, Sirus and Remus followed.
"Good one Prongs" They muttered to James.
Lily turned around and saw them.
"Hi Sirus, Remus" she said.
"James is here as well" Sirus pointed out.
Sandy rolled her eyes and Talia just looked at him. Lily started, icily.
"Or, I can just shut up.." he murmured.
"Probably best" muttered Remus.
The could hear the countasia pronounce James's answer to the couple that should have been, sirus and snape.
Sirus screamed "HEY YOU PRAT!"
It was then announced that Lily and James were the couple that should have been.
"Lily. Everyone thinks we should have been"
"Shh Potter." She said.
She then smiled, a big bright smile.
"You know Potter," she begun, "that was a really funny answer about Snape and Black"
James shifted uncomfortably, not knowing what was happening. "Uh, Thanks"
"No problem. I am so glad That you can come up with a FUNNY answer for EVERYTHING POTTER!!!"
Her smile went
"But you know what? Me and Thomas? Ella and Thomas? I don't think that's a place for a pun."
James sighed. "I can explain.."
"Can you?"
"Yeah"
There was silence. Lily looked surprised. "Well...explain?"
"No"
"No?"
"No"
"Why?" Talia but in, intreged.
"Because. I want to make a bargin"
"POTTER! Only you could make this into a bargin situation!" Shrilled Lily. "EXPLAIN!!!"
"Funny word. Explain" James started.
Sirus knew what he was doing, and groaned. NOT NOW PRONGS!
"You want to know what made me do it, don't you Lils?"
"Yeah..." She said, bamboozled.
"So do I"
"But you did it!! NOT ME!"
"I am not talking about this situation. I am talking about why you broke up with me. You tell, and I will tell"
His eyes were full of honesty and she couldn't stay angry. She couldn't lie anymore either. "Okay.."
Everyone went out, knowing it wasn't their place, leaving Lily and James. James took a deep breath, the truth was finally coming out.
