Left With YOU

Chapter 4

By Mrs Prongs

A/N: Yes, back from a...er...minor hiatus. Sorry if this chapter is not acceptable enough to redeem me from non-updatedness, but, alas, I tried. And I say that in the utmost exasperated tone. Why? Because I'm lame. The End.

"Don't be so negative, Lily."

Lily glared at James.

"WHAT?"

"You just have to screw EVERYTHING up," she exclaimed, throwing her hands in the air for a dramatic effect.

"I do not. You just don't know what pure genius is. And this is beginning to resemble the Sardines experience to the tee."

She sighed. "Just...go. JUST LEAVE," Lily said, pointing towards the wall.

James looked at her as if she was a lunatic... which she very well was at this moment for no reason...at all.

"AND DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT. You know what? I'm going to go find the damn item myself," she said, stalking off leaving James standing there, simply stunned.

"Well, fine. Just go and be a bitch," he said to no one but himself. He started the opposite way down the hall.

"A frog went a courtin' and he did ride MMHMM, MMHMM," Sirius sang as he walked down the hall.

"Sirius?," asked a familiar voice from the distance.

"HEY JAMESEY!"

James cringed. He always hated that nickname. Especially when someone was screaming it into his ear from two feet away.

"What in the hell are you singing," James asked, still rubbing his left ear.

"Uh...some song I learned from this muggle born. Where's Lily?"

"I don't want to talk about it."

"Oh," Sirius said sorrowfully. "Well, you know, things happen."

James chuckled. "Yeah, so what are you doing?"

Padfoot's face brightened once more. "I'm looking for a strand of red hair."

"Did they send you away or something?"

"Stephanie did. I don't really think she likes me too much," he answered contemplatively.

"Well, you know," James began to say, but Sirius glared at him.

"WOULD PEOPLE STOP GLARING AT ME?"

"Nope. You're just too glare-able."

"Glare-able?"

"Glare-able," Sirius said, nodding affirmatively.

"Ally?," Steph asked as they were passing the same door for the millionth and one time.

"Yes?," Alex answered as if she had been pulled from a very deep thought.

"Where in the hell are we going?"

"I...don't know," she said at last.

"Hmm...well, I don't know. Let's check the list for the next item," Stephanie remarked sarcastically.

"Good idea," Alex said, and pulled the neatly creased piece of parchment from her pocket.

Steph looked over her shoulder. "A leaf," she said, not reading thoroughly. "Let's go." Steph grabbed Alex's arm and pulled her towards the staircase.

"But...Steph...Gah, forget it," Alexandra said, defeated and followed Stephanie towards the grounds.

A/N: Beautiful, was it not? Yeah.
