Left With You
Chapter 12
By Mrs. Prongs
A/N: Do not look at me like that for not updating in months. =(
I'm back now! I hope that's enough.
Wee.
All of this music I've been listening to butchered my inspiration and threw it out of the window.
----------------
"There was a farmer that had a dog and Bingo was his NAME-O!"
"Sirius?"
"Yes, Remy?"
"SHUT. UP."
Sirius looked hurt. "But I was just trying to entertain you and Jenny. You're boring her. Can't you see?," he said, half-heartedly waving towards the girl.
Remus looked at Jenny, who was looking at the floor mumbling, then back at Sirius.
"What goes on with me and girls is none of your concern and I certainly do not need your help."
"But-"
"-at all."
--------------
"So," Stephanie said, trying to get a conversation going. They had been walking in complete silence for the past 15 minutes and it was driving her mad.
"So what?," Lily asked harshly. This girl. THIS GIRL. Was ruining her chances at being with-
Wait. No.
SHE DID NOT LIKE POTTER.
At all.
Right?
Stephanie looked offended. "Well you don't have to snap. I don't know what got your knickers in a twist, but I certainly have not done anything to you."
Lily rolled her eyes.
"Aw, Lily-kins is a bit jealous that my 'girlfriend' joined us, is she?," James said, whispering into her ear.
"I have NO clue what you're talking about."
"Suuuure," Prongs said knowingly. "And the world isn't round."
"Sod off, Potter," bit Lily, who crossed her arms huffily.
"Fine. Be that way. But I'm sure STEPH will enjoy my company," he said, strolling up to Stephanie.
James tapped her head, as she was consideribly shorter and Lily and most definitely shorter than he. It would be kind of awkward him wrapping his arm around her.
Stephanie looked up. "Oh hello," she smiled.
"So what are we getting next on the list?"
"Oh, uh, how would I know? Alexandra deals with that. She has the list," she said, glancing towards her best friend who was walking along side of her.
She glanced back up to James. "She's the smart one, you know."
James furrowed his eyebrow. "Huh. You're smart yourself being in Ravenclaw and all, though."
"Oh, I would have preferred being in Gryffindor. I'm not sure why I got put in Ravenclaw," she said, shaking her head.
"Oh, well, I wouldn't have minded you being in Gryffindor with me."
Stephanie laughed.
"Ouch. My feet are killing me," she said, stopping and slipping off her shoe to find a water blister around her heel.
"Damn. Do you need a hand? Or a body?," James asked.
"What on earth are you talking about?"
At that, James picked her up and started carrying her down the hall.
Alex stiffled a laugh and glanced at Lily, who was, expectedly, fuming out the ears.
"I don't know what's the big deal about a little water blister," Lily mumbled loudly, making sure Stephanie heard her.
**************
"Jenny?"
...silence.
"JENNY?"
...
"JENNY?!"
"ACK WHAT?," the girl said, almost jumping out of her socks.
Sirius frowned. "You didn't have to scream in my ear!"
"You didn't have to startle me!"
"Well you didn't have to ignore me!"
"Well you didn't have to talk to me in the first place!"
"Well you didn't have to be born!"
"Well you didn't-"
"WOULD YOU TWO BE QUIET," Remus yelled. "STOP ACTING LIKE CHILDREN OR THE TRAIN STOPS HERE. I AM THIS CLOSE (he motioned with his fingers here) TO GOING BACK UP TO THE DORMITORY AND JUST NOT PARTICIPATING IN THIS RIDICULOUS, OVER-THE-TOP SCAVENGER HUNT."
Jenny and Sirius stared at Remus.
"Sorry," Jenny apoligised meekly.
"Yea...what she said," Sirius said, frozen in place.
"Ahem," Remus said, gaining his composure. "Where are we going?"
"To get underwear," Jenny stated.
"Right then, we can just get some of mine," he said, and set off into the direction of the Gryffindor dormitories.
Jenny blushed a deep crimson.
She would NOT act like Stephanie did with James' boxers.
At all.
Because she's NOT insane like said friend.
Really.
