Tori How was I supposed to tell you I had a new one up? I only just got back from camp, and haven't seen you yet!
Sam What's wrong with the name Sonja?? It exists, it says so on any of the baby names sites you go to. It's just more interesting than Sonia or Sonya. & I like this one better too, because it's way easier to write. Ali doesn't agree, coz there aren't any Freds in this one yet
i-love-animals I could work that in. Tell me how I went!
Ali Camels will happen in this chapter. Totally scarily.
Zoe How like uninterestering would it be if they got together straight away?. Anyway, you pick me up on grammar enough school, so give it a rest, pretty please?
Ange I'm very proud. Thanx for reviewing. And please keep reading, coz I defiantly will keep writing.
Sam NOW
This is Not a Love Triangle, It's a Love Tangle!
Chapter Two – Hogsmeade
Too Early/ Good morning shoeshines
"Hey guys, ready to go?" Two voices with belonged to Honey and Lily came though the boy's dormitory.
"Not happening!" Sirius moaned
"Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. Sleep." James repeated, refusing to believe he was awake.
"Nhdoi hger uhvsd erhr." Peter mumbled, his mouth not being awake enough to work properly.
Lily was heard muttering "mornimus lightifi" and suddenly the curtains turned invisible and we were hit by steams of blinding light. It steamed in like in was only a few metres from the sun it's self.
"Arh" James yelled. "Too much light!"
"Good Morning Sunshines!" Called Honey
"What do you want?" Sirius asked, blinking rapidly
"Funny you should ask. We were wondering if you fine gentleman would accompany us ladies to Hogsmeade?"
"Why?" Peter asked,
"Well you see, our dorm mates have discovered hufflepuff seventh year boys, so they are not available to hang out with us"
"What Honey is trying to say is our 'friends' would rather spend the day with those conceited big heads with nothing but looks, but then again, you're not that much better James."
"You mean you think I have looks? This is the best day of my life!"
"Yeah. Looks of a constipated ape."
Peter/A moment later
That was. Weird. Did Lily Evans just come over. And ask to spend the day. With James? That can't be right. Not right. At all. Am I missing something. If so, what. Lily hates James. Anyway. There's not point spending the day at Hogsmeade. With girls. Girls who aren't Polly. Oh no. James and Sirius. They've already agreed.
What they all did at Hogsmeade
Sirius got a quill that automatically corrected spelling. It also calls out various insults to 'Challenged spellers'. Honey tried to flirt with Sirius as much as possible, to get James jealous. Peter had to send an owl to his parents from the post office, and tried to get James to come with him, because it was James's fault for having the idea of hair spraying the school owls, thus being banned from the school owlery. James laughed, remembering the prank, and was upset at how Honey was flirting with Sirius. Remus, who was not present at this moment in time had been forgotten about, and was coming back today after visiting his sick aunt. He was sharply remembered by Sirius a few moments before he was supposed to be picked up. Lily had been tormented by James for most of the morning, but did now let this get in her way of loving looking in the shops. Lily also volunteered to go and meet Remus.
Factors Lily considered do decide whether to meet Remus or not
- Honey would have perfect opportunity to flirt with Sirius to get James to like her.
- Giving up shopping…that's bad
- James couldn't flirt with me and put me through that torture again.
- I'm running out of money…fast
- I wouldn't have to be there when Honey was flirting with Sirius, so I can't get jealous.
Lily's Choice
Go.
Wishes
Lily wishes Remus would hurry up and come.
Peter wishes the unknown owl would stop pecking him
Honey wishes James would look over at her, even if she is all over Sirius
James wishes Honey would talk to him, or he'd even surprisingly settle for Lily to appear and take his mind off the whole business
Sirius wishes Honey would get with James already, because he really wants his best mate back, and he wants to go shopping for dung bombs.
Why Remus could be Late
a) He is either lost, or not lost. If he is lost, there's nothing to worry about, when you're lost, you can be found. If he's not lost, however, that is a problem. If you're not lost, you can't be found.
b) If he's not lost, he's either started to come, but never made it, or never started to come. If he's started to come, and never made it, there's nothing to worry about. He probably just got hungry and stopped for a snack.
c) However, if he never left home, there are only two options. Either there was a camel stampede, or there wasn't.
d) If there was a camel stampede, there are only two questions. Was it at Remus's house? Or was it somewhere in Africa?
If it was at Remus's house, there is nothing to worry about. After all, Remus got an O for Outstanding in Care of Magical creatures last year. And before the little voice in side my head says anything, I am perfectly aware camels aren't magical creatures, but they have to be easier to control than dragons. I still have that scar from 4th year! But anyway, who ever said camels weren't magical? They could possess magical powers in that hump of theirs. That's it. I'm going to make it my new life mission to prove camels are magical.
Anyway, if the camel stampede was in Africa, there is something to worry about because:
a) Why isn't Remus here if he didn't have a camel stampede at his place; and
b) If the camel stampede was in Africa, they would have stirred up so much dust, that all the asthma suffering moles would have to retreat into their holes. This would mean the land level would rise, meaning a person bunging jumping would hit the ground causing an avalanche. An elephant may be hit by a rock, and fall into the ocean, causing a tsunami. Seagulls would become scared of this and all fly away, and a tornado would be formed by the change in air pressure. This tornado could've picked up a car, and dropped it on Remus's house. That could be why he's late.
Why Remus is Late
"Lily!"
Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Remus's voice
"Hey Remus! So the camels didn't affect you?"
He looked confused, which is hardly surprising
Um…no. I just got lost."
Well that's boring!
A Marauder shopping list
Dung bombs – duh. We're Marauders
Nose-biting tea cups – can never have enough
Dung bombs – well we might need extras!
Frog Spawn soap – to pay back the kid who stole our idea to cover Professor Sprout's gloves in mushroom growing powder so everywhere she touched grew a mushroom.
Cockroach cluster – lunch
Dung bombs – what if we get snowed in, or Zonko's closes down?
Lily and Honey/ Dormitory/Later
"So Honey, how did it go with Sirius?"
"Well, James was like looking totally left out, but that could've been because you weren't like there"
"James doesn't like me. There is no way he likes me. He was probably just doing it for a dare or something."
"But if he wasn't Lil? What is he like has it bad for you? You could be throwing away the chance of a lifetime."
"Honey, I do not need boys 24/7. I like to think I'm stronger than that"
"SIRIUS."
"Yeah, I like him, but I'm not obsessed."
"He has 43 freckles."
"Great"
"Lily! Don't be like that. Please"
"So pathetic Honey"
Laughter.
Honey and Sirius/ Couch/Later still
"Hey Sirius!"
"Hey Honey, how life going"
"Enjoy Hogsmeade?"
"Yeah it was heaps good"
"I totally loved eating lunch in that cave"
"Yeah, that cave is great. Remember when we had those secret club meetings in that cave, James?"
"Uh yeah it was cool"
"Coming to watch our quiddich match next weekend Honey?"
"Wouldn't like miss it for anything," She said flicking back her hair, "I totally love seeing you in action sir. You're such a great flier."
"Yeah, well, I love flying. You jut get to soar. It's brilliant."
"I know how you feel. I felt the same way on my flying lesson" Honey moved her hand to my leg. However, a few seconds later, all too soon, Honey stood up.
"See you tomorrow boys, I'm off to get some beauty sleep"
James/same time
god she's beautiful but why is she talking to sirius if only i could be him with her all over me seriously tempted to try polyjuice potion now i know sirius tried to include me but that would be breaking the code and she might think i like her if i'm too eager she is gorgeous that's all there is to it can't stop staring at her so need her i don't care if the rest of the school thinks she's easy there's more to her than they think look at her she has to be mind i'm james potter she's a girl it all should work oh she's gone now to get beauty sleep she said she sure as hell don't need it.
Confession time
The door suddenly opened. It was Remus who entered
"Guys, I've got something to tell you," he said "Well two things actually…"
"Well…" James and I looked at him waiting. It looked like it was really serious
"Ok. Um my sick mother wasn't the reason I went home. The truth is I have a twin brother who is magical too. The thing is, he's in Azkaban. I had to visit my mother to help her sort out all magical information and to comfort her. He's not evil, though my family makes him out to be. Just was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He has three years to go."
Shock
We all looked at Remus, shocked. Not that I had a problem with that at all. I mean, you can't choose your family. I just wish he told us earlier, so I could help him through it. "And the other…? I whispered
"I…"
