Seven Days without You

Chapter Five: Schemes and Things

Pant. Pant. Pant. Pant.

"Padfoot, you're annoying me."

The black dog at the end of James Potter's bed changed and Sirius stood up.

"Merlin, that was fun! Did you see Parish's face?" Sirius said with an almost bark like laugh. Remus rolled his eyes from where he sat on his bed. James grinned back, but was deep on thought.

Sirius sat down hard next to James, almost making James fall off his bed.

"Prongs is in deep thought. What Prank are we plotting my friend?"

James shook his head, "No Prank. Wizard Contracts."

Sirius looked shocked, "Is this Homework? At this hour?"

"Padfoot, It's nearly eleven now. It's late and we do have class tomarrow. James is good for thinkingg of his homework." Remus retorted, turning a page in his book. Sirius waved him off.

"Night is still young, my wolfy friend... We need to get at Snape!"

James ignored Sirius and sat up, "Remus, you busy?"

Remus turned the last page in his book and shook his head. "No. I finshed this and my homework was done ages ago."

James stared at the pillows in the end of his bed. "Do me a favor?"

"I'm not doing your homework."

"No." James grinned, "Look up Wizard Contracts for me."

II.

The morning sun shone down on three bundled up figures standing out by the Green houses, chatting.

"You want me to do what?!"

Lily grinned over at Marie, who rolled her eyes. The pretty dark haired girl in front of them looked confused.

"You're on your own. Remus is meeting me to study for Potions. See you all after morning classes." Both girls watched as Marie scooted off around the corner. Lily turned back to the dark haired girl,

"Please Emma, Just this once! And we all know you'd be next on James' list anyway..."

The dark haired girl raised an eye brow, crossing her arms,

"Jeeze Thanks Liles. Maybe I won't help just because of that."

Lily laughed and grabbed Emma's arm as the dark haired girl tried to walk away. "Oh stop it! Trust me... you try James Potter middle of this week and I promise he'll warm right up to you."

Emma's eyes narrowed, and she looked Lily up and down.

"If I didn't know you so well, I'd say you were playing a prank on me." She said lightly, "Why do you want me to do this?"

Lily smiled, "I have my reasons. I'm sure James will tell you..."

Emma bit her lip, "I dunno. Besides, James likes you! The whole school knows!"

Lily sighed and plopped down into the stone bench beside them. She tugged her scarf tighter, and pouted,

"Don't I know it! Well, Emma puppet, I don't like him. In fact, I hate him. So please..."

"Lily-Flowers... your one of my best Lion friends. You've always been nice to me even though I'm a 'ditsy' hufflepuff." Emma sighed, and grinned, "So I'll help you sack James Potter."

Lily gave a happy squeal and hugged Emma. "Oh, thank you! Emma you're an angel!"

Emma glanced at Lily with an odd look. Then she laughed,

"It must be the hufflepuff in me, I swear."

III.

Marie looked up as Lily slid into lunch, Parish popping in right afterward. The pretty red-head had a huge grin on her face and Parish looked exsasperated.

"What's wrong?"

Parish sighed, "Lily here has been smiling all day and for the love of Merlin she won't tell me why!"

Marie stared at Lily who was smiling at her soup. Marie let it go, and pushed the sandwiches in Parish's direction. The other two girls chatted about homework and classes, Lily staying silent the entire time. When Lily started to giggle into her lintel soup, Marie threw down her spoon.

"Spill!"

Lily's head shot up, "What?"

Marie narrowed her eyes and leaned forward onto her elbows. "S-P-I-L-L...Spill."

Lily gave a huge smile and started laughing. Parish shook her head. "She's gone wonkers."

"No..." Lily said, stopping her laughing, She leaned over, "My side hurts." she said between giggles. She finally stopped and leaned back up. Her two best friends sat there staring at her, waiting.

"Well, James and I-" Suddenly Lily yelped and reached into her pocket. She yanked out her wand and stared out the end. It glowed bright hot white. She heard James yell in pain as well and looked down the table to see him yank out his wand. His also glowed white.

Lily and James stared at each other before James started to grin. He waved his wand and shook his head. Lily suddenly realized this was a "Wizard Warning". She had almost broken a contract? That could only mean that while James couldn't say anything about their deal... Neither could she.

"Blast and Double bast the wizard contract." she mumbled. Parish poked her in the side making her squeal. "Par-ish!"

"What was that about!?"

Lily opened her mouth and shut it again. And frowned and snapped,

"James Potter! That's what!"

Lily threw her napkin on her plate and stormed from the Great Hall. Marie nodded knowingly and slowly took a bite og her soup. Parish pointed with her thumb at the door,

"She's wonkers."

"Maybe less wonker than you think."

Parish stared at Marie, while she slipped at her soup in a very lady like manner.

"You're all wonkers." Parish said throwing a roll at her best friend.

Pretty short, and Boring. Sorry 'bout that. One of those chapters that needs to be written and are no fun. Next chapter will be better. Yay.
