Chapter 3: Common Room.
Lily, Sarah and Faithshot one last glare at James, Sirius and Remus. Then they helped Severus to his feet.
"Are you all right?" Lilyinquired grabbing Severus by the elbow.
"Don't touch me mudblood," Severus snapped jerking away from Lily. He spun around and came dangerously close to Faith's face. Severus went speechless and ran off.
"What's his deal?' Sarah asked.
"Who knows," Faith muttered. The three girls headed back to their compartment.
"That was great!" Petersmiled as James, Sirius and Remus piled into their compartment.
"Yeah..the girls didn't think so though," Remus said looking out the window.
"Snivillus deserved it. Imagine calling Evans that filthy name." James growled angrilywhile he ranhis hands through his hair.
"Yeah, but it takes all the fun out when they try to stop us. They even helped him to his feet!" Sirius groanedleaning back, his hair falling gracefully into his face.
After a long journey the train finally pulled to a halt. Lily, Sarah and Faith all clambered out of the train and into carriages.
"I hate those things," Faith shuddered.
"What things?" Sarah and Lily asked staring at her as the carriage began to move.
"Those weird looking horse things that pull the carriages," Faith mumbeled.
"You can see them or whatever they are?" Sarah questioned
"Yeah I can," Faith replied grimly.
"How odd...I wonder why we can't..." Lily trailed off.
"Be glad you can't," Faith added as the Hogwarts castle loomed ever closer. When they had reached the castle the girls were anxious to sit down before James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter could join them.
"I would like to make a few announcements," Dumbeldore declared.
"The Forest is forbidden to all, and I would like to state again that no one is to go near the whomping willow," Dumbeldore smiled at several students who had broken several bones from getting too close
"Also no Fizzing Whizzebes in the History of Magic room." Dumbeldore added.
Lily elbowed Faith andshe smiled and snickered at the thought. Then with a wave of Dumbeldore's hands the plates filled with food. The girls actually got to eat thefeast in peace.
"Has anyone noticed Remus looking a little pale lately?" Lily elbowed Faith and Sarah and motioning with her head.
"Yeah I've noticed that too," Faithreplied looking at Remus, who didn't seem to be eating much.
"He's probably sick..." Sarah said as Remus took a small drink.
"He must get sick an awful lot," Lily muttered
"Well some people do I guess,"put inFaith as the plates were wiped clean.
"I'll see youlater Ihave to walk the first years to the common room," Lily sighed getting up. Sarah and Faith reached the common room and gave the password.
"Just think. We'll soon be back with Binns," Faithcommented making a gagging noise and plopping down in an oversized armchair.
"Yeah but we'll be in Divination too," Sarahsmiled sitting down in the chair next to Faith.
"Only you would be happy about something like---"Faith started but was interrupted by her chair tipping back forcefully.
"Miss me?" Siriusquestioned holding the back of Faith's chair.
"No," Faith replied.
James grabbed the back of Sarah's chair and also tipped it back causing her to yelp slightly.
"Why would we miss you?" Sarah sneered at James.
"Why wouldn't you?" Siriusasked and flashed a charming smile at Faith.
"Where's Lily?" James asked He soon got his answer as the common room door opened and Lily walked in with a bunch of first years. James pushed Sarah's chair and she swung forward gripping the arms of the chair.
"The girls dormitory isthat way and the boys that way." Lilypointed as James tiptoed up behind her. The first years nodded and scattered nervously.
"Guess who?" Jamesteased covering Lily's eyes.
"Ugh I don't want to." Lilysighed. James smiled slyly at Sirius.
"Sirius Black put my chair down." Faith demanded.
"If you insist." Sirius smiled letting go of the chair. It began to fall backwards. Just as Faith's chair was about to hit the floor Sirius caught it with his foot.
"Don't do that!" Faithgrowled atSirius looking angry, Sirius knew she wasn't.
"Come on, just guess." Jamesmumbeled still covering Lily's eyes as she tried to walk away.
"Fine. Is it James Potter?" Lily said giving up.
"Its sad really watching them." Remus muttered standing in a corner.
"I know." Sarahreplied standing next to Remus. He smiled at her slightly. And she smiled back. They watched quietly as Sirius kept jerking Faith's chair around and James covering Lily's eyes saying no every time she guessed a name.
Finally the girls managed to get up to bed and could hear the boys laughing downstairs. Actually it was more of Sirius, James roars and Peters high pitched laugh than Remus's soft chuckle.
"Hey you know what? Know that I'm a prefect I can give them all detention." Lily said sitting up and smiling.
"Why would you want to?" Heather Shadow asked sitting up in bed. She was another one of the girls hopelessly fallen for James.
"Nevermind." Faithgrumbled hitting her head hard onto her pillow.
