Something New – Chapter 4 – StonesJournal Entry – September 23, 1972
Dear Journal,
I'm sorry that I haven't been writing for a while, but guess what? About a week and a half ago, I had realized that I forgot to bring my guitar along (probably from all the excitement of just getting here) so I sent my owl (which I decided to name Moki) to Mom to tell her to send it over and I got it today! (A/N It shall be a black acoustic/electric just if you want to know). Wow, I just realized that I have to catch you up on my life. Well, my dormitory roommate has become a good friend of mine. Her name is Casey Brown and she's pretty cool. She likes a lot of my music, which is a definite PLUS. But, she's a little superficial.. Okay she is EXTREMELY superficial but I'm just glad she doesn't bug me about my looks or anything. Umm.. my favorite class so far is Charms… What else?... Well, of course one thing that unfortunately wastes too much time in my mind is James. He is constantly trying to catch my eye at any chance he has. He teases me quite often too, along with Sirius. They call me Carrot-top quite often and although I've gotten used to it, I still find it quite annoying. What boogers they are. Yes indeed. Well, I have to go. Byeeee!
Lily Evans
Ah, it's nice to not have any classes. Lily sat in alone in the common room, resting comfortably on a beanbag chair holding her guitar. Her laptop was next to her, softly playing the intro of "The Brilliant Dance" by Dashboard Confessional (A/N This is a REALLY good emo song so if you like emo, get a hold on this song). She strummed along softly with a deep green pick in her hands in her eyes closed. She had been there all morning after breakfast getting in sync with her music, ignoring the occasional interruption by one of her fellow Gryffindors passing through.
"And the plaster dented from your fist
in the hall where you had your first kiss
reminds you that the memories will fade."
She sang quietly with the song, barely possible to be heard by anyone (if they were there) but herself. Although she barely heard it, her dormitory door opened and Casey ran down the stairs.
"Lily, I gotta go see this guy from Ravenclaw right now! How do I look??" Casey asked as she headed quickly to the hole in the wall covered by the fat lady portrait.
"You look fine," Lily replied without even looking up.
Casey had an aggravated look on her face. "Grrr.. You're no help. I'll talk to you later!" She swung open the portrait and rushed out, leaving Lily once again alone in the room.
Lily continued strumming and singing softly the next verse or so until she got to the best part of the song. She closed her eyes and couldn't help but sing it louder (in a good voice might I add).
"This is incredible.
Starving, insatiable,
yes, this is love for the first time.
Well you'd like to think that you were invincible.
Yeah, well weren't we all once before we felt loss for the first time?
Well this is the last time."
Unfortunately for her, guess who walked in while she was singing loudly? Yes that's right? James, Remus, and Sirius walked in surprisingly quietly and heard Lily's voice echoing against the walls. They saw her sitting on the beanbag chair, her back facing towards them.
She sings really well. Wow.. James couldn't help but stop dead in his tracks and just soak in Lily's melodic words. He only got out of this moment when he heard Sirius snigger.
"Oh my, what is your little Lily doing?" Sirius asked to James.
"Shut up, lets just go up to our room. I don't want to disturb her," said James, who had realized that Lily must really be into this since she didn't stop singing when they walked in.
Sirius also noticed this since Lily wasn't even getting mad at them or anything. "Sorry Jamsie boy, but this is too good to pass up." He took out a dungbomb from his robe.
"Sirius, I really don't think this will be in our best interest," Remus said as headed for the stairs that led to their room. He really didn't want to be there when the dungbomb did go off.
Sirius sneaked up behind Lily and placed the dungbomb carefully near the back of her neck. He then pulled Remus back to himself and James and forced them all outside. Sirius listened carefully so he would be able to hear when the dungbomb would explode. And after about a half a minute of so, they heard a small popping noise.
"..And that's our cue," Sirius said happily "C'mon lets go inside now."
They said the password, and found themselves with one quiet yet pissed off redhead.
"Uh, hey Lily…What's up?" James walked up slowly to her. The stench of the dungbomb went up his nose but he still kept going closer. "Are you okay?" He knew she wasn't but he didn't want to make it obvious that he was associated in this. Lily already hated him enough and he couldn't afford to make anything worse.
Lily just looked at him with glassy eyes. Who could do this to me? Why? Who would consider doing this to me? Her eyes started to glare at him. "James…how could you.." She was still in shock.
"No… No Lily I didn't do it!.. See! I just walked in!" James said quickly while pointing to Sirius and Remus, still standing right in front of the entrance staring at Lily. Even though he felt responsible, he didn't want to actually get in trouble with her.
"Oh, right… I'm sorry.. It's.. Yeah…" She turned away and picked up her laptop. She took her guitar in her other hand, slowly got up, and started to walk away. She headed up slowly to her dorm, while seeming a little disoriented. She finally got up the steps, and went through the door, and closed it quietly.
"That wasn't the response I wanted!" Sirius said, annoyed that the whole occurrence wasn't more violent.
"Yo, did you see the look on her face?… So hurt…" James was upset at Lily's reaction and Sirius's action.
"Er… Well… She'll get over it soon enough! Don't worry about it!" Sirius started walking up to their dorm, trying very hard to make the situation lighter.
After taking a nice long shower, Lily sat down on the floor. She put her laptop and guitar in front of her and took out her wand. She brought out her charms book and looked for a simple cleaning spell. She muttered a sufficient incantation and with a flick of the wand the smell was gone. But that didn't mean Lily's bitterness had disappeared. Who could it have been? I would have figured that it was those boneheads, but they had just walked in so it couldn't be them right?
Lily was getting extremely stressed over all of this. Maybe I need to just go out and get some fresh air. She got up, picked up her guitar, and headed out to the lake.
Once Lily got there, she sat down near the edge of the lake and started to play the intro of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (A/N Nirvana song) but soon got tired of it. She looked out at the sun, reflecting against the lake. It's so beautiful and calm. The placid lake was untouched and not even a single ripple showed up on the surface. Lily looked down and noticed a large rock about the size of her fist lying next to her.She took it in her hand and stood up.
"Whoever used that dungbomb, DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She threw the rock as hard as she could into the air and it landed with a splash into the lake. The once serene lake was filled with ripples now and a couple small waves broke on the lakeshore. Wow, that felt good. As she stood and looked out, she noticed something coming out of the water. Err.. what's that? The large object swam to the surface and Lily realized it was the giant squid. She noticed that on top of the emerged head was a small red bump (about the size of her fist maybe?). Oh crap… That can't be good. The squid looked at her with its large beady eyes.
"GAHHH I'M SORRY!!! I'M SORRY MR. SQUID!!!!" Lily quickly picked up her guitar and ran back to the castle.
Well, that was random wasn't it? Hahah.. anyways.. I had major writers block! Grrrr.. Um just to let you know my dad is coming home tomorrow so I wont be able to write anymore unless I get computer access…well yea…ooh and im sorry that this chapter is sort of short… but I didn't have much inspiration… just in case I don't get to write..lets shorten plot.. err.. for the next some years Lily and James have drama.. and at end maybe get together.. well that's was easy..haha.. but someone will die.. only one.. maybe.. and yea.. lol..
