Chapter 2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We were soon done checking the compartments and were trying to hurry to the castle. We were already late due to some dung bombs some kid (probably Black and Potter) let off. We ran in right in the middle of Dumbledore's speech.
"For the full list, visit Mr. Filch's off-" he was saying. Every head turned to us, and Dumbledore stopped talking…obviously. Were we embarrassed? Oh, I don't know if Remus was, but to say I was, would be the understatement of the year. I was mortified. Dumbledore jut looked at us, but, of course, Potter and Black could find a way to embarrass me more. They jumped up from their seats, and came running towards us while yelling,
"Moony! Billy-Lily! What took you so long!?" Black shook Remus' hand, but Potter ran up to me and gave me the biggest hug in the world. Every one was shocked. Me, Lily Evans, let James Potter, the guy I hated most in this entire school (Besides Malfoy and his crew) get so close to me? Well, I was shocked too, which is why I didn't try to get away. (And plus, who said I didn't want to be hugged by him? Forget that…you never heard me say I liked being hugged by Jam-Potter.) Wow, James is HOTT. Skip all that hate, he is H-O-T-T HOTT! Argh, what am I thinking? I don't think he's hott! Dumbledore cleared his throat and said in what I thought, was a voice of amusement,
"Excuse me Mr. Potter, but please release Miss Evans, we will need her in one piece this year." His eyes were twinkling in an odd way. James let me go and looked around when he finally noticed everyone was looking at us. He then pointed to me and Remus and said,
"Look! The giant squid didn't eat them!" with mock joy. Oh, that was a good cover up. And I'm not saying that sarcastically either. They seemed to think he hugged me for that long as a joke. Man, I go to school with the most gullible people in the entire world. I walked towards Samara and Verity, who later told me as I was doing so, I looked like a tomato. Oh yeah, that's really flattering. I was in the middle of telling them who I like (James, DUH!) when I felt a tap on my right shoulder. I looked over but no one was there. I rolled my eyes and looked to my left. Black was sitting there grinning.
"That's really stupid Black. Stop doing it." Then I went back to eating. Two minutes later, I noticed he was in the same position. Still grinning and staring. So I looked at him and asked, "What?" in an irritated voice. He just kept looking and grinning. Then I stood up and said,
"Gawd Black, what's your problem? Sammy, Vi, lets go." But just as I was turning away, he pulled me back down by the sleeve. "Wait, wait." He said. He was still grinning (what's with this bunch and smiling? That's all they're ever doing! They should see a psychiatrist). He looked at Sammy and Vi, then back at me. "Did you tell them who you like yet?" he asked. The girls looked at me like I was crazy.
"Excuse me!" Samara said. "You told him before us? You hate him! We are your best friends! Yet you still tell him before us?" Shit. She was pissed. Big time. And you really don't wanna go around pissing her off. She can get violent. I know from bad experience. Don't ask. Anyway…so I said, before she could attract any unwanted attention,
"Sammy, he guessed. I swear, I would never tell him before you. HELL! I would never even tell him! You know that!" She looked at me a moment longer and then said with a sigh, "Yeah, you're right." Then, "So who do you like?" she asked eagerly. I took a deep breath. This probably wouldn't go well. So I said in a quiet, mumbled voice, "James."
Vi looked at me questioningly and then asked, "Who? I didn't hear you." I glared at Black (who, mind you, was still grinning like a fool) and then said again, a little bit louder this time, "James…Harold…Potter." I couldn't look at them, so, I looked down at my plate. I could tell I was blushing. I could hear, well, more feel Black next to me laughing. I sat there for who knows how long, (only a few seconds) until finally I couldn't stand it any more and looked up. Sammy and Vi were just looking at me in shock. They looked at each other then back at me. Again, they looked at each other. They can be so annoying when they do that! Then, unexpectantly, they burst out laughing, along with Black who was still next to me. Every head turned to look and see who was making so much noise. Professor Dumbledore looked alarmed at first, but then amused. He stood up and asked,
"Is everything alright?" in a mock worried voice. I doubt he was going for mock worried, but, I mean, he's pretty darn old, I don't think he could help it. Black was about to answer (he'd probably tell what happened, along with who I like) so I stood up and said, "Every things fine!" and I was horrified when I heard the words come out of my mouth not sounding like it did normally, but instead high and squeaky. Professor Dumbledore then asked, "And would you tell us what was funny?" when Black heard this, a fresh batch of laughs broke out, and he stood up while saying, "I'll tell you what was so funny. Lily here was telling us she likes-" but before he could finish, I stuffed a bun in his mouth and pushed him back into his seat. "I um, I was um, just telling them…some thing really funny." I answered lamely in a questioning voice. My Professor just looked at me, I could tell he was amused, and said,
"Very well Miss Evans, I'm guessing what you said was highly amusing, given the state your friends seem to be in." I looked down at them. They all looked up at me, then at James, and back to each other, which made them brake out in a new stroke of laughter. I glared at them and then looked up at Dumbledore with a fake-cheery smile and said,
"Oh yes, it was very, very amusing." I hate blushing. And I knew for a fact I was blushing like crazy right now. I looked at Sammy and Vi and said, "Samara, Verity, lets go. Now." In the coldest voice I could muster at the moment. They knew I was pissed. Really pissed. I only called them by their full first names when I was mad. And was I mad right now? Hell yeah. They stood up and started to walk down the table (I forgot to say they both were sitting across from me) and towards me. When we reached the door, we heard Black yell,
"Hey girl friends, wait for me! I don't want to be too fashionably late for this little gossip party!" so we turned around and I couldn't help but laugh at what I saw. It was Black running towards us, tripping every few steps. He had a purse slung over his shoulder, high heels on, a few shopping bags around his wrist, and had a cell phone up to his ear. (A/n: I don't know what year this is supposed to be, or what year cell phones came around, so if they weren't out yet, please find it in your hearts to forgive me.() But it wasn't his face or his body. Guess whose he stole? Yep. You guessed right. Mine. He looked exactly like me. He was signaling us to wait. It was pretty funny. It gave me a good laugh, and I really needed one. As he approached, he held out his hand to me and said, "Hello there doll face, my name's Lily Evans, but my friends all call me Lily Evans. I'm a quiet, goody two shoes, giddy schoolgirl. And you are?" That wiped the grin off my face. Everyone had their heads turned in our direction again. And almost everyone was laughing. Oh yeah, he did a great impression of me. Well, let's see how he liked my impression of him. I changed my look with a wave of my wand. I no longer had my red, curly, shoulder-length hair, but shaggy, dirty blonde hair that went at the lowest to the bottom of my ear. My eyes changed from dazzling green to excited blue. My face looked exactly like his. But I recreated the rest of his body. It was nothing like the body he really has. (He's got some nice six- pack abs, and he's extremely tall for a seventeen-year-old. His body isn't as good as Potter's…forget that.) But I made myself 5'3 and gave myself a potbelly. I had not the usually nice clothes Siriu-Black wears (What's up with me? I'm calling them by their first names now?), but a torn tee shirt and a pair of overalls. I held out my hand and said in a fake hillbilly type voice, "Hi there! My name's Sirius Black. I'm Lost, could you help me back to the right table? I'm absolutely starvin'. As you can see, I don't eat enough." And as I said that last bit, I held my, or rather, Sirius' giant stomach. Every one in the hall burst out laughing, including the teachers. Now usually, I wouldn't do this. I don't know what came over me. Actually, I would have taken points off of Black and whom-ever else was in it. And in this case, that "Whom-ever else" was me. Sirius looked at me scandalized for a moment, but then got an evil grin on his face, or rather, it was my face, and gave a flip of his hair while saying, "Eww! You are a little disgusting pig. I wouldn't even dare touch you. I'm too much of a snob. You're wasting my time. I have a dinner appointment at…" and he looked at his wrist as if reading a watch and finished, "six o'clock with Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape, so if you'll excuse me." And he turned around and headed for the Slytherin table. Now that was not at all how I acted. "Well excuse me," I started. I had no clue at all what I was going to say next. Sirius turned around to look at me, and I saw, of course, my own face looking back. And it was grinning. "I would just like it known that I, Sirius Black, am in love with Lucius Malfoy, and I refuse to let him go out with Lily tonight." I said while grinning at Sirius. He was fuming. He walked up to me so his face was inches from mine and said,
"Well I, Lily Evans, am in love with…" he looked around the room at this point and then said, "the one and only, James Harold Potter." I just stared at him. Oh gawd he was dead. I took a step towards him, which made him only grin wider and add, while, of course, running to James,
"That is right James Harold potter, I, your worst enemy, Lillian Marie Evans, am madly in love with you. That is the reason I have been so cruel. I really do like you, but I tried to cover it up by pretending to hate you." I looked at Sammy and Vi, who had also stopped laughing and were looking at Sirius with horror written across their faces. I had no clue how I was going to get Black back for this, but I'd make sure he'd pay.
I ran over to them and then said, "Ah, but Lillian, you know I, Sirius Alexander Black, am in love with James, why do you think I've been his best friend for all these years?" Sirius looked at James with a revolted look on his face, and then back at me. He grabbed James' hand, pulled him into a standing position and away from me, and said,
"But I, Lillian Evans, Love him more than you. You are lying, you are just saying that so I don't get James! And that is because you are jealous, because every one loves me, because I'm so pretty and popular and if you don't like me, I'll curse you! And yes, I am very arrogant, probably the most arrogant person in all of Hogwarts history, even if it's hard to believe there is anyone more arrogant than Lucius Malfoy." You know what? I was surprised the teachers hadn't tried to stop any of this yet. I looked up at the table to see all the teachers looking at us in shock. I guess they decided to let us carry on. So, I'm going to embarrass Sirius in every single way possible.
"Oh yeah? Well I, Sirius Black, don't really think you love James, because you know I love him more than you ever could. I love him so much more, that I can do this." And then I turned to James and kissed him. Hey, this isn't Lily Evans kissing James Potter, this is Sirius Black kissing James Potter. Or at least, that's what it looked like. Wow, James is a good kisse-what am I thinking? Argh! I looked over at Sirius and he was staring at me with his mouth wide open. I pulled away from James (regretfully) and said,
"So as you all have seen, I, Sirius Alexander Black, am in love with James Harold Potter." I looked back at Sirius to see he was still in shock. Every one else in the hall (except the teachers this time) laughed. Sirius closed his mouth and then said,
"Well-" but before he could finish, Professor McGonagall stood up and- , "It is time for every one to go back to their dormitories. Head girl and boy stay behind, and Mr. Black, you as well. Mr. Potter, I feel you should stay as well. Well, come on every one! Chop chop!" she yelled. Oh…shit…I…am…DEAD. I could tell by the look on her face that she was furious. I turned back into my normal self, as did Sirius. I glared at him, which he returned. As soon as everyone except for the teachers and the students requested, Professor McGonagall started yelling at me 'n' Sirius. Oh joy! I get a detention, my first ever detention, on my first day back for my final year. I'm dancing with glee. NOT!
"Miss Evans, Mr. Black. What was all of that about?" she yelled loudly. Wow. I didn't think a lady as old as her could be so loud. Sirius must have been thinking the same thing, for the next words out of his mouth were, "Gee whiz Professor, I'd like to leave with at least some hearing ability." Which, I might add, was a big NO-NO. "Well excuse me Mr. Black, but if you would like to graduate from this school, you will shut your mouth this instant!" she barked. I couldn't help but say wow again. She must have been really pissed. I mean, the only person I've ever been able to yell at like that was James, and what he did was much worse than this. Sirius just lowered his head more. When she was finally done glaring a hole into his head, she asked again,
"What exactly did you do that…performance for?" in a voice as cold as possible. Which, I might add, is colder than the exact opposite of hell. "Mr. Black?" she asked. He just shrugged his shoulders. I noticed Remus was whispering something in James' ear and as he finished, James looked up at me with a look of pure shock. Oh no. Remus did not just tell James what I think he did. Even though, I really think Remus told him. Man, tonight has been very, very bad for me. I looked away from Remus and James as soon as he looked at me, which is a good thing, because just then, Professor McGonagall rounded on me and said,
"And what about you Miss Evans? I expected more from you, especially after you were made Head Girl. I don't know what has happened to you over the summer, but it better get lost, and I mean pronto." I looked down at my shoes. She was every bit right in saying that. I mean, I didn't behave accordingly. But, I didn't think it necessary for the next bit.
"If I would have known this was what you were going to behave like, I would have never considered giving you the role of Head Girl. Maybe I should have thought a bit more. You were a fine prefect, but maybe head girl is just too much for you. I should have given it to…Narcissa Black…she is very much capable of controlling herself, even though she's related to him." She added with a small nod towards Sirius. Ouch. That struck a nerve. I cringed at hearing her say that. I was so ashamed of myself. She was right. I probably should resign so Narcissa can be Head Girl and have one more thing to gloat about. Sirius seemed as outraged as, if not more, than McGonagall.
"Excuse me professor," he said sarcastically. Whoa nelly (a/n: no, I didn't mean nelly as in the rapper Nelly, just to ne of you who thought that was what I meant. Idk bout ne of u, but I use the expression 'whoa nelly' a lot…lol), he's gonna get beat.
"But I don't think that was necessary… Lily is a very good Head Girl, and my…cousin, Narcissa, would be no where close to being as good at the job as Lily." He said. McGonagall just looked at him, then back at me as if he hadn't said a thing.
"Miss Evans, if I see any more behavior like you demonstrated tonight, I will relieve you of your Head Girl duties. Do I make myself clear?" Okay, I like her and all, but, dang, she can be a bitch! I mean, that's really harsh! I was too mad at her, and, of course, ashamed, so I nodded my head, still looking at my shoes.
"I believe, Miss Evans, that you also owe Mr. Potter an apology?" oh my gosh, this is so Kindergarten! I mean, this is something I did in preschool, not what would have been my senior year! But, none the less, I turned around, still looking at my shoes, and muttered,
"Sorry James." I stood there for a few more seconds, and then turned back around. These people really know how to get you down in the dumps! Then I heard a voice from behind me and was shocked to hear it was James' voice.
"Professor, Lily has nothing to apologize to me for." "Mr. Potter. She pulled you into the, performance, and embarrassed you. There fore, an apology is needed." I could tell he was about to argue, because I heard him inhale and start to say, "B-" But he never finished. "Mr. Black, you have detention for the rest of this week and next, from after dinner till whenever I please. Miss Evans, you will also be spending after dinner till when ever, but only for a week. Mr. Black, Mr. Potter, you may now leave. We still need a word with the Head Boy and…current Head Girl." Bitch alert! Bitch alert! Come on! "Current head girl"? I get the point! She's pissed! If she thinks threatening helps any, then she's sadly mistaken. Ya know, I don't appreciate her rubbing it in. And, I normally don't swear if I can help it, but I still can't help it if they just blurt out. Like up there. You know, the whole, "Bitch alert" thing.
Well, the chat with Dumbledore and McGonagall is over. It was pretty stupid if you ask me. I mean, all they did was tell us what our duties were. Oh, and yeah, that we were gonna have a ball for the seventh years before everyone left for break, but no big.
"So," I started. I was determined to find out what was so shocking about what Remus told James about me. Or, at least I thought it was about me. "What was that you were whispering to James?" I asked. He just looked at me and grinned. "Can't." he said simply. Huh? Not comprehending here…explain please…
"Huh?" I asked dumbly. "Can't." he said again. "Maurder's honor." He added, holding up his hand. I could see a small scar in the palm of his hand. "Did you guys become blood brothers?" I asked just as stupidly, but with a hint of worry. "No! Duh Lily, use common sense. I can't because my…er…condition." He said. Duh! I knew that! I am so stupid! We walked out the front doors when I felt arms go around my waist and a head on my shoulder (As in giving me a hug!). I looked down and saw it was Sirius. He was squeezing me so tightly I could hardly breathe. Then he muttered, "Lily, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to get you in trouble…I was just kidding around. Please don't hate us Maurders anymore…we are sorry for being so mean, and James isn't arrogant and conceited any more!" I looked up from Sirius' head to see Sammy and Vi looking at me. Well, I'm glad they waited for me. They just shrugged their shoulders. I looked back down at Sirius' head. "Um…" I started. Maybe I we should give them a chance, ya think? Yeah, me too. "Okay…?" I answered questioningly looking back at Sammy and Vi. They just shrugged their shoulders again. Ya know, sure I hated James, Sirius, and Peter- Remus excluded because he was my friend- but it's not like I knew them or any thing. It was like going into a mall and, as guys walked by, telling your friends if you thought he was hott or not. Ya know what I mean? Good. "Oh thank you Lily-Billy! Thank you!" he said happily swinging my around. Gawd, I hate it when people do that. Major headaches. "Sirius, put me down." I said calmly. Wow…I get really light-headed easily…really, really bad headache now. He better put me down. Ah, but of course, he, being the dork he is, wouldn't. Dang, I bet I'm gonna die from head problems.
"Sirius, if you don't want to walk back to Gryffindor with barf on you and a broken arm, you better put me down right now." Thank gawd he did. He can be one annoying little bugger if he wants to. He did put me down, but then he asked,
"Why would I have a broken arm?" in a confused voice. He has got to be one of the stupidest kids at this school…besides Malfoy and Co., obviously. "Because, dear," I said in my sweetest, sugar coated voice. "If you would have kept swinging me, that would have caused me pain. When people cause me pain, I make sure I in return cause them pain. Get the picture?" he just looked at me dumbly for a few seconds and then brightened up, saying, "Oh! Now I get it!" with an excited glance around. I noticed James and Remus were still whispering among each other, and James kept glancing at me. Is there some thing I'm missing?
We got back to the common room half an hour later, due to delay by the one and only Sirius Black. Me and Sirius were racing to get there first. I won. I was first one in the room, and I plopped down on my favorite armchair. It's really squishy. I love it. So, I thought, does Sirius, since he sat down on top of me. When he realized I was under him- which took me many punches for him-he stood up and asked,
"Why, Billy, what ever were you doing under me?" incredulously. "Why, Siri bunny wabbit, you sat on me." I said sarcastically. Hey…that nickname was stupid…wasn't it? Yeah, I thought so too. He just looked at me blankly. Then said,
"Huh?" why is this kid so dumb? Why? I rolled my eyes and got up. "I'm going to bed. Sammy, Vi, you guys gonna come up later?" I asked while walking to the stairs. When they didn't answer right away, I looked back. I saw my two best friends Sammy and Vi, along with my new friends, Sirius and James (Like I said before, Remus was already my friend) all looking at me. I raised a questioning eyebrow, and Vi said,
"We'll be up in a bit. We aren't all that tired." So I just shrugged and muttered a ' G'night ' to everyone and slowly dragged my feet up the stairs. I heard James say that he would also be going to bed just as I reached the top of the stairs. I hid behind the wall so the group couldn't see me, and as soon as they were sure James was in his dormitory, they started whispering. I couldn't understand what exactly they were saying, but I heard bits and pieces. I heard "Well, I told James." From Remus, and then "Lily and James…perfect…together" a few seconds later from Sammy. What were they talking about? They better not be trying to hook me and James up…because it isn't gonna work. James is too conceited, I thought when I fell down onto my bed. Well, he actually hasn't been too bad so far. Duh! It's only been one night. With that still on my mind, I fell into an enchanted sleep.

His body isn't as good as Potter's…forget that.) But I made myself 5'3 and gave myself a potbelly. I had not the usually nice clothes Siriu-Black wears (What's up with me? I'm calling them by their first names now?), but a torn tee shirt and a pair of overalls. I held out my hand and said in a fake hillbilly type voice, "Hi there! My name's Sirius Black. I'm Lost, could you help me back to the right table? I'm absolutely starvin'. As you can see, I don't eat enough." And as I said that last bit, I held my, or rather, Sirius' giant stomach. Every one in the hall burst out laughing, including the teachers. Now usually, I wouldn't do this. I don't know what came over me. Actually, I would have taken points off of Black and whom-ever else was in it. And in this case, that "Whom-ever else" was me. Sirius looked at me scandalized for a moment, but then got an evil grin on his face, or rather, it was my face, and gave a flip of his hair while saying, "Eww! You are a little disgusting pig. I wouldn't even dare touch you. I'm too much of a snob. You're wasting my time. I have a dinner appointment at…" and he looked at his wrist as if reading a watch and finished, "six o'clock with Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape, so if you'll excuse me." And he turned around and headed for the Slytherin table. Now that was not at all how I acted. "Well excuse me," I started. I had no clue at all what I was going to say next. Sirius turned around to look at me, and I saw, of course, my own face looking back. And it was grinning. "I would just like it known that I, Sirius Black, am in love with Lucius Malfoy, and I refuse to let him go out with Lily tonight." I said while grinning at Sirius. He was fuming. He walked up to me so his face was inches from mine and said,
"Well I, Lily Evans, am in love with…" he looked around the room at this point and then said, "the one and only, James Harold Potter." I just stared at him. Oh gawd he was dead. I took a step towards him, which made him only grin wider and add, while, of course, running to James,
"That is right James Harold potter, I, your worst enemy, Lillian Marie Evans, am madly in love with you. That is the reason I have been so cruel. I really do like you, but I tried to cover it up by pretending to hate you." I looked at Sammy and Vi, who had also stopped laughing and were looking at Sirius with horror written across their faces. I had no clue how I was going to get Black back for this, but I'd make sure he'd pay.
I ran over to them and then said, "Ah, but Lillian, you know I, Sirius Alexander Black, am in love with James, why do you think I've been his best friend for all these years?" Sirius looked at James with a revolted look on his face, and then back at me. He grabbed James' hand, pulled him into a standing position and away from me, and said,
"But I, Lillian Evans, Love him more than you. You are lying, you are just saying that so I don't get James! And that is because you are jealous, because every one loves me, because I'm so pretty and popular and if you don't like me, I'll curse you! And yes, I am very arrogant, probably the most arrogant person in all of Hogwarts history, even if it's hard to believe there is anyone more arrogant than Lucius Malfoy." You know what? I was surprised the teachers hadn't tried to stop any of this yet. I looked up at the table to see all the teachers looking at us in shock. I guess they decided to let us carry on. So, I'm going to embarrass Sirius in every single way possible.
"Oh yeah? Well I, Sirius Black, don't really think you love James, because you know I love him more than you ever could. I love him so much more, that I can do this." And then I turned to James and kissed him. Hey, this isn't Lily Evans kissing James Potter, this is Sirius Black kissing James Potter. Or at least, that's what it looked like. Wow, James is a good kisse-what am I thinking? Argh! I looked over at Sirius and he was staring at me with his mouth wide open. I pulled away from James (regretfully) and said,
"So as you all have seen, I, Sirius Alexander Black, am in love with James Harold Potter." I looked back at Sirius to see he was still in shock. Every one else in the hall (except the teachers this time) laughed. Sirius closed his mouth and then said,
"Well-" but before he could finish, Professor McGonagall stood up and- , "It is time for every one to go back to their dormitories. Head girl and boy stay behind, and Mr. Black, you as well. Mr. Potter, I feel you should stay as well. Well, come on every one! Chop chop!" she yelled. Oh…shit…I…am…DEAD. I could tell by the look on her face that she was furious. I turned back into my normal self, as did Sirius. I glared at him, which he returned. As soon as everyone except for the teachers and the students requested, Professor McGonagall started yelling at me 'n' Sirius. Oh joy! I get a detention, my first ever detention, on my first day back for my final year. I'm dancing with glee. NOT!
"Miss Evans, Mr. Black. What was all of that about?" she yelled loudly. Wow. I didn't think a lady as old as her could be so loud. Sirius must have been thinking the same thing, for the next words out of his mouth were, "Gee whiz Professor, I'd like to leave with at least some hearing ability." Which, I might add, was a big NO-NO. "Well excuse me Mr. Black, but if you would like to graduate from this school, you will shut your mouth this instant!" she barked. I couldn't help but say wow again. She must have been really pissed. I mean, the only person I've ever been able to yell at like that was James, and what he did was much worse than this. Sirius just lowered his head more. When she was finally done glaring a hole into his head, she asked again,
"What exactly did you do that…performance for?" in a voice as cold as possible. Which, I might add, is colder than the exact opposite of hell. "Mr. Black?" she asked. He just shrugged his shoulders. I noticed Remus was whispering something in James' ear and as he finished, James looked up at me with a look of pure shock. Oh no. Remus did not just tell James what I think he did. Even though, I really think Remus told him. Man, tonight has been very, very bad for me. I looked away from Remus and James as soon as he looked at me, which is a good thing, because just then, Professor McGonagall rounded on me and said,
"And what about you Miss Evans? I expected more from you, especially after you were made Head Girl. I don't know what has happened to you over the summer, but it better get lost, and I mean pronto." I looked down at my shoes. She was every bit right in saying that. I mean, I didn't behave accordingly. But, I didn't think it necessary for the next bit.
"If I would have known this was what you were going to behave like, I would have never considered giving you the role of Head Girl. Maybe I should have thought a bit more. You were a fine prefect, but maybe head girl is just too much for you. I should have given it to…Narcissa Black…she is very much capable of controlling herself, even though she's related to him." She added with a small nod towards Sirius. Ouch. That struck a nerve. I cringed at hearing her say that. I was so ashamed of myself. She was right. I probably should resign so Narcissa can be Head Girl and have one more thing to gloat about. Sirius seemed as outraged as, if not more, than McGonagall.
"Excuse me professor," he said sarcastically. Whoa nelly (a/n: no, I didn't mean nelly as in the rapper Nelly, just to ne of you who thought that was what I meant. Idk bout ne of u, but I use the expression 'whoa nelly' a lot…lol), he's gonna get beat.
"But I don't think that was necessary… Lily is a very good Head Girl, and my…cousin, Narcissa, would be no where close to being as good at the job as Lily." He said. McGonagall just looked at him, then back at me as if he hadn't said a thing.
"Miss Evans, if I see any more behavior like you demonstrated tonight, I will relieve you of your Head Girl duties. Do I make myself clear?" Okay, I like her and all, but, dang, she can be a bitch! I mean, that's really harsh! I was too mad at her, and, of course, ashamed, so I nodded my head, still looking at my shoes.
"I believe, Miss Evans, that you also owe Mr. Potter an apology?" oh my gosh, this is so Kindergarten! I mean, this is something I did in preschool, not what would have been my senior year! But, none the less, I turned around, still looking at my shoes, and muttered,
"Sorry James." I stood there for a few more seconds, and then turned back around. These people really know how to get you down in the dumps! Then I heard a voice from behind me and was shocked to hear it was James' voice.
"Professor, Lily has nothing to apologize to me for." "Mr. Potter. She pulled you into the, performance, and embarrassed you. There fore, an apology is needed." I could tell he was about to argue, because I heard him inhale and start to say, "B-" But he never finished. "Mr. Black, you have detention for the rest of this week and next, from after dinner till whenever I please. Miss Evans, you will also be spending after dinner till when ever, but only for a week. Mr. Black, Mr. Potter, you may now leave. We still need a word with the Head Boy and…current Head Girl." Bitch alert! Bitch alert! Come on! "Current head girl"? I get the point! She's pissed! If she thinks threatening helps any, then she's sadly mistaken. Ya know, I don't appreciate her rubbing it in. And, I normally don't swear if I can help it, but I still can't help it if they just blurt out. Like up there. You know, the whole, "Bitch alert" thing.
Well, the chat with Dumbledore and McGonagall is over. It was pretty stupid if you ask me. I mean, all they did was tell us what our duties were. Oh, and yeah, that we were gonna have a ball for the seventh years before everyone left for break, but no big.
"So," I started. I was determined to find out what was so shocking about what Remus told James about me. Or, at least I thought it was about me. "What was that you were whispering to James?" I asked. He just looked at me and grinned. "Can't." he said simply. Huh? Not comprehending here…explain please…
"Huh?" I asked dumbly. "Can't." he said again. "Maurder's honor." He added, holding up his hand. I could see a small scar in the palm of his hand. "Did you guys become blood brothers?" I asked just as stupidly, but with a hint of worry. "No! Duh Lily, use common sense. I can't because my…er…condition." He said. Duh! I knew that! I am so stupid! We walked out the front doors when I felt arms go around my waist and a head on my shoulder (As in giving me a hug!). I looked down and saw it was Sirius. He was squeezing me so tightly I could hardly breathe. Then he muttered, "Lily, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to get you in trouble…I was just kidding around. Please don't hate us Maurders anymore…we are sorry for being so mean, and James isn't arrogant and conceited any more!" I looked up from Sirius' head to see Sammy and Vi looking at me. Well, I'm glad they waited for me. They just shrugged their shoulders. I looked back down at Sirius' head. "Um…" I started. Maybe I we should give them a chance, ya think? Yeah, me too. "Okay…?" I answered questioningly looking back at Sammy and Vi. They just shrugged their shoulders again. Ya know, sure I hated James, Sirius, and Peter- Remus excluded because he was my friend- but it's not like I knew them or any thing. It was like going into a mall and, as guys walked by, telling your friends if you thought he was hott or not. Ya know what I mean? Good. "Oh thank you Lily-Billy! Thank you!" he said happily swinging my around. Gawd, I hate it when people do that. Major headaches. "Sirius, put me down." I said calmly. Wow…I get really light-headed easily…really, really bad headache now. He better put me down. Ah, but of course, he, being the dork he is, wouldn't. Dang, I bet I'm gonna die from head problems.
"Sirius, if you don't want to walk back to Gryffindor with barf on you and a broken arm, you better put me down right now." Thank gawd he did. He can be one annoying little bugger if he wants to. He did put me down, but then he asked,
"Why would I have a broken arm?" in a confused voice. He has got to be one of the stupidest kids at this school…besides Malfoy and Co., obviously. "Because, dear," I said in my sweetest, sugar coated voice. "If you would have kept swinging me, that would have caused me pain. When people cause me pain, I make sure I in return cause them pain. Get the picture?" he just looked at me dumbly for a few seconds and then brightened up, saying, "Oh! Now I get it!" with an excited glance around. I noticed James and Remus were still whispering among each other, and James kept glancing at me. Is there some thing I'm missing?
We got back to the common room half an hour later, due to delay by the one and only Sirius Black. Me and Sirius were racing to get there first. I won. I was first one in the room, and I plopped down on my favorite armchair. It's really squishy. I love it. So, I thought, does Sirius, since he sat down on top of me. When he realized I was under him- which took me many punches for him-he stood up and asked,
"Why, Billy, what ever were you doing under me?" incredulously. "Why, Siri bunny wabbit, you sat on me." I said sarcastically. Hey…that nickname was stupid…wasn't it? Yeah, I thought so too. He just looked at me blankly. Then said,
"Huh?" why is this kid so dumb? Why? I rolled my eyes and got up. "I'm going to bed. Sammy, Vi, you guys gonna come up later?" I asked while walking to the stairs. When they didn't answer right away, I looked back. I saw my two best friends Sammy and Vi, along with my new friends, Sirius and James (Like I said before, Remus was already my friend) all looking at me. I raised a questioning eyebrow, and Vi said,
"We'll be up in a bit. We aren't all that tired." So I just shrugged and muttered a ' G'night ' to everyone and slowly dragged my feet up the stairs. I heard James say that he would also be going to bed just as I reached the top of the stairs. I hid behind the wall so the group couldn't see me, and as soon as they were sure James was in his dormitory, they started whispering. I couldn't understand what exactly they were saying, but I heard bits and pieces. I heard "Well, I told James." From Remus, and then "Lily and James…perfect…together" a few seconds later from Sammy. What were they talking about? They better not be trying to hook me and James up…because it isn't gonna work. James is too conceited, I thought when I fell down onto my bed. Well, he actually hasn't been too bad so far. Duh! It's only been one night. With that still on my mind, I fell into an enchanted sleep.
