Love and War
Chapter 2
"Lily! LILY! WAKE UP!"
Lily shot straight up in bed. She looked to her right and saw Jenni smiling broadly at her. Gabby came out of the bathroom brushing her hair.
"Mornin' sunshine. And who gave you the right to have the bed closest to the door?" said Gabby.
"Tell Sirius that it's your bed, then he'll have to mess with me instead of you, and I won't be as nice as you," said Lily.
"All right!! Come on, I don't want to be late, or get lost," said Gabby.
"Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!" shouted Jenni.
"Down girl, down," said Portia.
"Hey Remus, your girlfriend is way hyper!"
"Go away Sirius!" yelled Gabby.
"I'm not his girlfriend," said Jenni, calming down a bit.
"She's not my girlfriend!" Remus yelled from the common room.
"Sirius........go.........away," said Gabby, slowly, just for Sirius.
"O..........kay," he said, being a smart alec, and went back downstairs.
The girls followed some 5th year boys to the Great Hall.
"So, our first class is Transfiguration with Professor McGonagall, head of Gryffindor. Then, Potions with Slytherins and Professor Linus, who's head of Slytherin House. Lunch is after that, then we have a half hour break. And double Charms with Professor Flitwick, head of Ravenclaw," said Lily.
"Who's head of Hufflepuff house?" asked Frank Longbottom.
"Professor White, she teaches Herbology. I heard she's really cool," said Gabby.
"Hey, Flower Child! Is there something wrong with your head? Oh wait, that's your hair!" James yelled down the table.
"Shut up Potter, at least I have only two eyes!" she shouted back, as he, Remus, Sirius, and Peter sat across from them.
"Morning Lily, Gabby, Jenni."
Morning Sirius, Remus," said Lily.
"Hiya Remus, Hey Sirius! Sup James?" said Jenni, energetically.
"Good Morning Remus, and James. Stay out of my bed Sirius," said Gabby.
"Morning ladies, I'm Peter." (grrrr)
The girls all said hello at the same time, and introduced themselves. Soon it was time for class.
"Come on," said Lily. "If we're late it's your fault. Why are we waiting again?"
"Sirius and Remus," said Jenni.
"Oh, not me?" asked James.
"Well, you too, but if we said you Lily would have left," said Gabby.
"You lied to me?"
"No, we just didn't tell the entire truth," Jenni rationalized.
"Oh, fine then," said Lily, shrugging.
"Hurry up, Sirius, we need to go!" Gabby called into the Great Hall.
"I'm gonna go, tell Remus and Sirius, that I don't want to be late," said Lily.
"Aww, does the poor Mudblood want to get to class?" said a cold voice behind Lily.
Sirius and Remus came in, glaring at Malfoy, and Snape. Sirius ran up behind Lily, and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Eww! Black touched the Mudblood!" screeched Karrie Reynolds.
"Come ladies, we don't want you to have to look at that dirt," said Snape.
"You'll get what you deserve, Mudblood," said Malfoy.
Sirius walked up and punched him, hard. Malfoy, holding onto his broken nose, ran away, crying.
"Thank you, Sirius," said Lily, hugging him.
He blushed.
"No problem."
"Come on, you two, we're gonna be late," said Gabby.
They made it to the Transfiguration room, just as the bell rang.
"Today, we will be turning matches into needles," said the tall teacher.
She showed them how to do it, then let them be to do it. By the end of class Lily, Jenni, and James were the only ones who had gotten it correct. Sirius had lit his on fire, and Gabby had accidentally made hers invisible. In Potions they had to take a pop quiz, on stuff most of them didn't even know. Finally, it was time for lunch.
"Only one more class to go!" said Sirius.
They all laughed.
"Hey, Lily! Are you and Sirius an item?" Cliona called down the table.
"No, I don't think so," said Lily, a bit confused. "Why?"
"Okay thanks, just wondering," she called back.
"Oh geez, now I'm regretting being so good looking," said Sirius. The girls giggled. "See Jamsie, they agree with me, I'm better looking than you!"
"I never said that, I was just laughing at how conceited you are," said Gabby.
"Oh so you think James is better looking than me, is that it?"
Sirius pretended to look hurt.
"I never said that Sirius. We all know that you're much hotter than Ink- head over there," said Lily.
"I heard that Carrots," said James.
"It would have been a waste if you hadn't," she retorted.
The others laughed at their friends. When they were done eating, the girls went up to Gryffindor Tower.
"Lily, I think you and Sirius should go out," said Gabby.
"We're eleven!" Lily shouted.
"I mean eventually."
"Oh, and you and James should hook up and I think Jenni and Remus should get together, they'd be perfect for each other, what do you think Gabby?" asked Lily.
"I agree with the Jenni/Remus thing, but I think I'll stay single, for now."
"Do I get a say in this?" asked Jenni.
"Yeah, go ahead," said Lily.
"I think Remus is HOT!"
"I think James is HOT," said Gabby.
"I think Sirius, is even better looking!" said Lily.
"Sirius, has a nice butt," said a high-pitched voice.
"Hi Cliona," said Gabby.
"She's not in here," whispered Jenni.
"Then who was that?" asked Gabby.
"I dunno, don't look at me," said Lily.
Then Gabby mouthed to Lily and Jenni 'They are each behind us.'
Lily mouthed, 'Sirius is behind me.'
Lily was right. Remus was behind Jenni, and James was behind Gabby.
'Rock back on top of them,' mouthed Jenni.
Lily held up a finger. 'Wait.'
"So, would you make out with them if you had the chance?" asked Lily.
"Oh yeah," said Gabby.
"Absolutely," said Jenni, holding up one finger.
"So, what are we gonna do?" asked Gabby, holding up two fingers.
"I dunno," said Lily, holding up three fingers.
They turned around and rocked the chairs onto the three unsuspecting boys, but jumped up, so they wouldn't hurt them, or themselves.
"Do you really think we're hot?" asked Sirius.
"No, we were only saying that because we knew you were back there," said Gabby.
"Oh," said Sirius, sadly.
"Well, I know Gabby was kidding, but I wasn't," said Lily.
"Thanks Lil!"
Jenni mumbled something.
"What was that Jenni? Speak up," said James.
"Nether was I," she said.
She turned red in the face, and ran up to their dorm.
"Well, there's one couple," said Gabby.
"Gabby, have compassion," said James.
"All right. Aww poor Jenni. Well, that's one couple."
Lily rolled her eyes.
The next day their schedule was: Double Defense Against the Dark Arts, with Professor Kirkpatrick, lunch, 45 minute break then Study Hall. Defense Against the Dark Arts was the best class so far, in class they were given a test, it looked like this:
Name:
Date:
House:
What you want to learn this year:
The magical creature that you find most interesting:
Sirius looked this over. He raised his hand.
"Yes?"
"Is this graded?"
"No."
"Darn."
She smiled. After the test they talked about vampires, and how to vanquish them. When the bell rang they walked to lunch.
"Hey Sirius what did you put for the last question?" asked Remus.
"Witches."
"Did you really?" asked James.
"Yes, What did you guys put?"
"Werewolves," said Jenni.
Remus went a little green in the face.
"I put centaurs. Remus, are you okay?" said Gabby.
"I put hippogriffs," said Remus.
"I put a stag," said James.
"I put a unicorn," said Lily.
"So none of us agrees on anything?" asked Gabby
They laughed.
"Lily! LILY! WAKE UP!"
Lily shot straight up in bed. She looked to her right and saw Jenni smiling broadly at her. Gabby came out of the bathroom brushing her hair.
"Mornin' sunshine. And who gave you the right to have the bed closest to the door?" said Gabby.
