The Secret Plan
. . Lily took her drink. She stumbled a bit, and then regained her balance. "Who are you?" Lily asked a fifth year prefect walking by, but it sounded more like "Whoayoo?"
"Pardon?" The girl asked.
"Oh, just ignore her. She's not quite right." Christine said.
"That's not true," Lily slurred.
"We'll talk to you in a bit," Rebecca ended the conversation. "Lily, why don't you go talk to Remus and his friends?"
"Kay," she answered shortly, and somewhat danced to the boys.
A moment later, Lily was sitting down saying, "Hiya Remie!"
"Uh, Lily," came the response, "I'm Sirius. Remus is next to me."
"Oh yeah!" Lily giggled. "Hiya Remie!" She turned her head and said. She turned back and said, "Hiya Siri!"
"Hi Lils," Remus said awkwardly. "What's going on?"
Lily just giggled, "Lily," Sirius asked slowly, "Why are you sitting on me?"
"Where else would I sit, silly?" She asked, sounding serious.
Sirius gestured at the seat James Potter was previously at. Lily, once gain, giggled. James then returned and took his seat, soon to be followed by Peter.
"Wanna play a game?" She asked.
"Okay," James answered, puzzled by the behavior all ready.
"What game?" Peter asked excitedly.
"That's up to you, Remie," Lily said.
"I don't know Lils," Remus said, doubtingly, having partially figured out Lily's state.
"Fine," she pouted. "Siri, will you pick for me?"
Not understanding his friend's actions, Sirius nodded. "Exploding snap." He said.
Lily smiled and started playing. A few minutes later, her cards exploded, like they often do in exploding snap. With the full effects of a drunken person, the explosion caused Lily to pass out, her feet on James, head on Remus, and body draped across Sirius. Immediately, the other girls came over, seemingly concerned.
"She passed out!" Marie exclaimed.
"Don't worry," Marelda said. "She'll wake up in," she checked her watch. "45 seconds. She won't even have a hangover!"
"Wait- you mean she is?" Remus asked, still disbelievingly. "I mean, I suspected, but I didn't really believe..." He trailed off.
"You've got to be kidding!" Sirius laughed.
"What is she?" Peter asked.
"Drunk!" Lynn blurted, causing a few older students to turn and laugh.
Lily's eyes popped open. "What am I doing here?!" She exclaimed, seeing Remus's face much closer than she expected.
"Calm down, Lil." Remus said. "You passed out."
"Do you know?" Lily asked, concerned.
"What do you thing?" Sirius laughed.
"Yeah! I didn't expect anything like this from you, though!" James said.
Lily shot him a glare. She sat up between Sirius and Remus, and then stood. Well, I'm leaving now. I'll see you tomorrow, Remie. You too Sirius. Bye!" She waved and walked away unnaturally quickly. Immediately, Lily's friends followed suite, muttering goodbyes and catching up with her.
"Wow, Lily," Christine said.
"I know," she grumbled.
"That must have been some secret," Rebecca added.
Lily didn't reply.
"Christine's turn," Lynn said. "What are you going to have them bring?"
"Good old chocolate chip sounds good. I'll be back in a few minutes," Christine said. In a few minutes, she was back, and a few minutes later house-elves arrived with a large plateful of cookies and five glasses of milk. Then, everyone just talked for a while. After Lily, Marie, and Lynn finished their conversation on muggle life compared to Hogwarts, Christine raised her voice and said,
"I'm going to the boys' dorm now."
"Wait!" Marie said. "I don't want to miss this!"
"I'll use the Chameleon charm so we can go," Lily said. "Any one else want to got?" Nobody else responded. "Okay," Lily took out her wand and recited the spell.
"Wait one minute," Rebecca said. "Take the magical camera. I need a picture of this."
Marie took the camera and left with Lily and Christine.
"Alohomora!" Christine said to open the door.
"Silenco!" Marie said after they had entered.
Christine hid under a messily bad bed, while Marie and Lily each hid under a cloak hanging from a bedpost.
"I'm calling it a night," an unrecognized voice said a bit later. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight," the others responded.
Before the curtains were closed, Christine said just loud enough to be heard, "Remus, Peter, James, Trip, Sirius."
"Who said that?" Peter squeaked.
"Remus, Peter, James, Trip, Sirius," she said a bit quieter, but so they could still hear her.
"Very funny." Trip said. "Which one of you is playing the joke?"
Nobody replied, "Remus, Peter, James, Trip, Sirius," Christine said in barely a whisper.
After waiting a few more minutes, sure that the boys were scared, she slowly came out from under the bed. Because it was dark, Christine slowly rose to her feet, being sure to keep her eyes closed. "Are you sure I'm here?" She said in a whisper. "You," she slowly walked toward Peter's bed. "You killed me! I will get my revenge!" Christine said in a deadly whisper.
"Ahhh!" Peter screamed and scrambled out of the dorm, as Christine snuck under a bed. There was a bright flash. Then, the other boys followed and there was another flash. There's a ghost in there!" Peter squeaked.
A sixth year walking by stifled a laugh. "Of course it's haunted!" She said gently. "The ghost was probably Peeves playing a joke. We're in a school for witches and wizards," and she looked them over. "Two of you are from influential families, and you didn't know that?" She said shaking her head.
The boys cautiously re-entered the dorm. A few minutes later, the door opened, and the girls left.
"Did it," Christine exclaimed, walking into the girls' dorm.
"Two pictures," Lily added.
"The boys were scared to death. They ran out and said the room was haunted!" Marie exclaimed.
The girls all laughed and talked the rest of the night and finally went to bed.
"I heard you had a little mishap last night," Lynn stifled a laugh, directed at the boys. They just glared, and waited in silence for a few moments.
"Ugh," Marelda grunted. "We have a double class with Slytherins!"
"I still don't think they could be that bad," Lily said, stubbornly.
"What class is it?" James asked.
"Potions," Rebecca said. "Let's go."
"Welcome to Potions," the professor said, "I want to waste as little time as possible, so, please pay attention. Potions is an art. Do not expect to be a 'natural' because it must be done in practice. I pride myself on being fair and treating pupils with respect, however, if you do not treat me in the same manner, you will be punished. Now, let's start. I have a quiz for you. Because this is your first class, however, it is only an assessment. Try your best."
One papers had been passed out, the first years took the quiz.
"You'd think we were supposed to read the whole book judging by that quiz," Sirius whined.
"It wasn't that bad!" Lily said.
"Maybe to you," Peter said, "But I think I failed."
"Well, I don't know if your realize, but the next class is starting," Christine checked her watch. "In 45 seconds."
"I know a shortcut. Come on," James said.
Marie sent Lily a questioning look, which Lily caught and motioned that it was the best option. The others had all ready started, so Lily and Marie went to catch up.
"It's pretty straight forward," James said. "Only one turn coming up here." The made the turn and Peter stopped.
"Wait! My shoes are stuck!" He said.
"I'll fix it," Lynn said. "You guys go ahead. I'll help him."
"I'll wait," Marie said.
"Me too," Lily added.
Lynn smiled. "Thanks." By the time the rest were out of site.
"Thank you so much," Peter said.
"Let's get a move," Lily said. "We shouldn't be too late for our first class."
The four walked for a few minutes and finally found themselves at a large set of doors.
"It must be through these doors," Lynn said. She tried to open it, but the door didn't budge.
"That spell...I know! Alohomora!" Lily said. The door swung open. The four walked in.
"That's strange...Nobody's here," Marie commented. "Are you sure it's the right room?"
"That's what James said,' Peter responded with an emphasis on "James." "Let's go this way." He motioned to the left. One room over, Lily heard a few men speaking, and motioned for the others to be silent.
"Quite certain it should be after Christmas, we need all the support we can get." The first said.
"Yes, you're right. I must be patient. Everyone will be so surprised!" The second said.
Lily led them away. Right before they were out of hearing range, Peter squealed in relief. Then, the men came running. Marie pushed her friends into a hiding spot she found, but didn't have time to hide herself.
"You!" The first man said angrily, grabbing her. "What are you doing here?!"
"Her-Herbology Class," Marie stammered.
"Let her go," the other man said from the shadows. "She's a first year anyway."
The first man reluctantly let go of Marie. "Get to class and don't come back here!" He snarled.
Marie left quickly and the men looked around and then went back to where they originally were.
A few minutes later, Lynn led them out of the hiding spot and then out the door.
"You made it!" Marie said, relieved.
"We should be saying the same to you!" Lily responded. "Why did you squeal, Peter?"
"I as excited- I thought we had made it," Peter blushed.
As they walked on trying to find Herbology, Marie said, "I wonder what they were talking about. They seemed to get very mad."
"It's probably a surprise party. Best not mention it to anyone." Lynn said.
"Look! That's Herbology!" Lily said. "Let's go!" And they hurried to the greenhouse.
"Where have you been?" Professor Watergroo said.
"It's my fault," Peter stepped out, "I was clumsy, so they helped me. Then, the others got ahead and we got lost."
"That may be, but you are still late. Three points will be taken from Gryffindor. Next time, it will be five each."
"Where were you?" Remus whispered.
"Tell you later," Lily whispered back.
Professor Watergroo explained her lesson and the class ended.
"So what took you so long?" Christine asked.
"We got lost," Lynn explained simply.
"I had guessed that," Marelda said.
"Why?" Marie asked sarcastically, "I mean, we were only given wrong directions."
James turned crimson. "Sorry," he mumbled.
"I need to go to the library. Are you coming, Remus?" Lily asked.
"Of course. Wait one minute. There seems to be a small council going on," Remus responded.
"A council?!" Rebecca laughed.
Peter looked confused and disappointed about not being included.
"Yesterday we decided that we would need another," Sirius started. "The main person on our minds was Trip." He paused. "However, today Peter ahs displayed his eligibility; so, you are now, though a small part, somewhat a member of us."
"In other words," James said, "you can follow us around."
Peter's eyes opened wide before a good grin played his face.
"Well, let's go, Lily," Remus said.
So, the two best friends walked towards the library to see their third part.
After waiting twenty minutes, Briana bustled in.
"I'm so sorry!" She exclaimed, "I had a flying lesson."
The study session did not consist of very much studying that day. The whole time consisted of fooling around, as hard as it is to believe.
