Chapter 11: Surrender

Weeks past and the first years homework level was increasing, because of the up coming exams. With all this homework, the four boys didn't get much more time to work together on their map.

"Too much homework," whined Daisy as she slammed her head onto the table. "Ow, that hurt," she moaned rubbing her head. Britney laughed.

Britney pouted, and started rubbing Daisy's forehead as well. "Aw, little Daisy, does it hurt? Have you got a boo-boo?" said Britney in a baby voice.

"Well, if I didn't have all this work to do then -," Britney handed Daisy her homework with a smile.

"Yeah!"

"You know, if you keep copying her homework, you won't learn anything. How do you even know the answers are all right?" asked Lily frowning at Britney and Daisy.

"Do you doubt me Lillian? And she'll learn loads, she'll learn that she can always copy my homework," said Britney smiling, messing up Daisy's hair.

"Please don't call me Lillian," muttered Lily.

"I love the name Lillian, it's so sweet! Besides, then we'd have to flower names in our group: Daisy and Lily. Lillian just defines the name from the flower," Britney answered.

"I didn't quite understand what you just said," said a very confused Alice.

"Yeah, I didn't fully understand it either," a small frown played Britney's lips. "Oh well, it sounded good, didn't it?"

"Sounds good to me," smiled Daisy.

The book shelf behind them (in the library) book's all fell onto Britney. "Ow," she whined, from underneath the pile of books. When she emerged from the pile, her hair was green. She looked at her used to be blond hair. She heard laughing from behind a few shelves away. She got up, everyone in the library's eyes on her. Madame Pince started fussing over the books on the ground, and she soon put them back in their proper place.

Britney marched over to where the muffled laughing was. There, obviously, stood James and Sirius.

"I knew it was you two!" screamed Britney.

"Ms. Turner if you wish to yell, do it outside! Not in the library!" persisted Madame Pince.

Britney smiled sweetly, "Certainly," she grabbed Sirius and James by the ears and yanked them roughly outside.

"You guys are such idiots!" screamed Britney. "Would you leave me alone? From now on you will be listening to me! I say jump you jump, so now jump and drown yourselves!" she screamed right in their faces. James and Sirius stood their stunned.

"Well, Brit, you don't want us to drown, you simply are feeling -," started Sirius.

"I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I'M FEELING! I feel you two should leave me alone! If you do anything to me again, I will make sure you get hurt!" she screamed even more loudly.

Sirius and James were whining from the pull on their ears. "We won't do it on you again, we promise, we promise! Let go please!" moaned James, with the agony from his ear. Britney let go of them roughly causing the two boys to collapse to the ground.

"Thank you," they said at the exact same time.

"Sorry, but maybe you check out anger -," Britney glared daggers at Sirius.

Sirius hugged Britney's legs, "I'm so sorry, I'll stop whenever you say stop, I'll jump whenever you say jump, just say the word an we'll do!" whined Sirius. Everyone was watching the fall of James and Sirius. All year they played pranks, though, not everyone knew who it was who did it, but they knew James and Sirius liked to play some.

Britney sighed. Trying to be mad at Sirius and James was hopeless. "Go away," Britney turned and stalked off. James and Sirius looked at each other.

"We tried," shrugged Sirius.

"She's going to be pissed at us for a while, we just have to suck up," James said thoughtfully.

Sirius frowned. "I never thought she'd flip like that, it was just a simple prank."

"But we've been doing it for years." James answered. "She's tired of it obviously . . ."

Sirius sighed and got up. Sirius looked around to find Michael laughing really hard on the grass. Sirius glared at him.

"You two deserved it!" he shouted while laughing. He went back inside the castle. Remus and Peter approached James and Sirius.

"So, did you have fun?" asked Remus smiling. James glared.

"Not really," answered James frowning.

"It's dinner, let's go in," suggested Peter.

"Yeah, I'm hungry," said Sirius and they walked to the Great Hall for dinner.

When they sat down a few seats away from the girls in their year, at the Gryffindor table, James and Sirius received glares. Britney was no where in sight.

"Why such the long faces?" asked Sirius grinning handsomely.

The girls ignored him and they went into hushed whispers.

"Hey what was that about?" asked Sirius astounded.

"For being a jerk," muttered Remus. Sirius let out an exasperated sigh.

He turned to the girls again. "Where's Brit?" he asked them.

"We were told not to tell you," bitterly answered Alice. "What did she say again? Oh yeah, 'don't tell those arrogant insignificant fools know where I am if they ask!'"

"That's it!" answered Lily smiling sarcastically.

"That's not really fair to say," mumbled Sirius.

"Not fair? I'm not too fond of Britney's attitude, but she had every right to do that!" shot back Tess.

"Please, Lillian?" pouted Sirius. Lily stopped.

"Don't call me that," she groaned.

"Please," whined Sirius again.

Lily's eyebrows furrowed. "No," she answered simply.

"PLEASE!?" Sirius shouted, receiving a glare from Professor McGonagall.

"NO!" said all four girls at the same time.

"Please, Please, Please, Please, Please?" Sirius said this for about ten minutes, till a Hufflepuff yelled.

"JUST TELL HIM ALREADY!" he screamed. Everyone in the hall agreed.

"Fine," Lily got all huffy, she knew Britney would kill her for this. "She's in Dumbledore's office." Sirius grinned, and kissed Lily on the cheek.

"Thank you Lillian!" James and Sirius jumped up and ran out of the hall.

Lily rubbed the spot where Sirius kissed her cheek, and she wiped it on her pants.

Sirius and James pelted up the stairs in the Entry Hall. They retraced their steps, of the night that they got caught out past curfew. When they found themselves in front of the stone Gargoyle, they stopped, realizing that they didn't know the password.

"Let's try to push it open!" Sirius and James went over to the stone Gargoyle. They pushed with all they're might, until the stone Gargoyle growled furiously, causing James and Sirius to fall back. The Gargoyle didn't move positions at all.

"It was worth a shot," shrugged Sirius. James sighed.

"We can guess," James looked at the stone Gargoyle. "This shouldn't be too hard."

"Er, okay, er, Pumpkin Pasties!"

"Zonka's Joke Shop!"

"Er, Cockroach Cluster!"

"Chocolate Frog!"

"Bertie Botts Every Flavored Beans!"

"No, I don't really care, for those. I once had the displeasure to receive a vomit flavored one before," said a deep wise voice from behind.

"Professor!" said Sirius. He went over and hugged him. Dumbledore chuckled. "Can we talk to Britney?" asked Sirius putting on an innocent voice.

"I was instructed not to let the two you in, you seemed to have upset her."

"Yeah, well we want to say sorry," said James looking hopefully at his old Headmaster.

"Let's make it a secret, that I didn't let you in," Dumbledore whispered, his eyes twinkling as he winked at James and Sirius, who were smiling. "Gilligan! I'm quite fond of this muggle television character, quite a laugh. Get going," he ushered them up the stairs.

James and Sirius rushed up the stairs, and banged open the door. Britney was in the room stroking a phoenix. She jumped at the sudden noise. She looked over at the door, and as soon as she saw James and Sirius, she moved over up the stairs.

"Wait, Britney!" James called to her up the stairs. She ignored him, and James and Sirius went up the stairs. Britney was sitting down on this bizarre looking telescope, looking up at the sky.

"What's that?" asked Sirius. Britney turned to them and rolled her eyes, she went back to looking through the telescope. Britney ignored them completely. "Brit," Sirius started, Britney got up and walked down the stairs to the headmasters desk. "We're really sorry and – wait what are you doing in Professor Dumbledore's office?" asked Sirius astounded at how comfortable Britney seemed to be.

James nudged Sirius. "Britney we're really sorry, we've been doing this for years, and we didn't realize you got so upset about it. It'll never happen again. Just say the word and we'll do it, like you said earlier." James tried.

"You know what? I don't care anymore James. You can try all you want, but I don't care. You obviously don't think about how I felt. I cried, I fought, I ran, and you didn't notice how your stupid pranks affected me. I mean, were you to blind to realize that I'm not just a girl!" Britney turned around and stormed out of the office.

Since Britney was a good five inches shorter than James and Sirius, her walking fast, wasn't really fast walking to James and Sirius. They kept up with her, with ease.

Britney broke into a run, and ran all the way to the Common Room. She ran up the Girls staircase, with James and Sirius closely behind. But once Sirius and James' feet touched the third step, to the girl's dormitory, the stairs turned into a slide.

This action caused Britney to fall on her stomach, and slide down, and crash into James and Sirius. They were all in a pile at the bottom of the staircase. The slide turned back into stairs.

"I can't believe you two! Leave me alone!" Britney quickly got up and ran up the stairs the second time.

James and Sirius got up from the ground the third time that day. When they turned around they found the whole Common Room, just staring at them. Sirius bowed. James stood there, and bowed too.

The common room just stared. "Good night to all! And to all a good night!" exclaimed Sirius, and he and James quickly ran up the stairs to the boys dormitory.
