Chapter 7: Monday part 2
Faith and Sarah sat with their feet in the water. Lily was busying writing her Potions essay under the shade of their favorite tree.
"Lily that essay isn't due till two more weeks. Come sit with us." Faith said smoothing out her skirt.
"I know but I'd like to visit Hogsmede next week stress free." Lily said still bent over her work.
"Lily it's the second Hogsmede trip and you didn't even go to the last one." Sarah said swinging her feet.
"It looks like its going to rain." Lily said still making up excuses.
"That never bugged you before." Sarah said. Lily sighed and walked over and stuck her feet in the water.
"I cant wait for the next Hogsmede trip" Sarah said smiling.
"I don't know if I'll be able to go." Lily said splashing her feet.
"You have to. I want to show you guys something." Sarah said suddenly
"Really and what is that?" Faith said cocking an eyebrow and tilting her head.
"It's a surprise. But a really big one." Sarah whispered smiling.
"Sarah...you cant do that to us. We'll die of anxiety." Lily whined jokingly and splashed water on Sarah.
"Just be there and I can tell you." Sarah whispered. Suddenly it began to rain very hard. The girl let out shrieks of excitement and surprise.
"Poor Faith...shes wearing white." Sarah teased standing up as several students went running inside. Lily ran to get her stuff which was getting soaked. Faith got up gingerly and attempted to walk. She slipped and grabbed onto Sarah for support.
"Clumsy are we?" Sarah asked standing Faith upright. Sarah took a few steps and fell backwards. Faith laughed
"Who's the clumsy one?" Faith asked as she helped Sarah up.
Peter scurried inside as fast as he could slipping several times.
"Suppose we should go inside?" James said still laying on the ground as if nothing had happened.
"Yeah I guess." Sirius said his hair plastered to his face. Remus began to walk to the school and watched Sarah carefully.
"I'll catch you guys later." Remus said running up to Sarah and waving at Sirius and James.
"I cant believe he says he doesn't like her when its obvious he does." Sirius muttered shaking his head to get rid of the water out of his hair.
"Yeah I know." James said running a hand through his hair as he watched Lily scrambling to pick up her stuff
Sarah walked slowly towards the castle keeping her eyes on her feet. Suddenly Sarah pitched backwards but was caught by Remus.
Sarah blushed a deep crimson and muttered "Thanks"
"No problem." He said helping her to her feet.
"Do you need any help up there?" Remus asked as she began to walk slowly again.
"No I think I ca-"Sarah started but she fell backwards again. Remus caught her around the waist. He smiled charmingly at her. She thought her heart would give out at any moment.
"Maybe I do need help." Sarah said softly. Remus smiled again and wrapped an arm around her waist with his one hand and grabbing her hand with his other. Sarah and Remus could both feel their hearts ramming in their chests.
James Potter rushed to help Lily as her papers went flying everywhere. Lily chased after them and scrunching the ones she could grab tightly in her hands.
James grabbed two that were flying towards the lake.
"Thanks." Lily muttered.
"That's the first time I think you've ever thanked me." James said smiling. Lily tried to frown but couldn't bring herself to do it.
"Working on the potions essay already?" James asked looking at the papers as he handed them over.
"Of course." Lily said taking the papers and trying to straighten them out. As she did the ink smeared together.
"Ohhh..." Lily said her mouth making a large O as she looked at her hand. James laughed.
"Be quiet its not funny." Lily said trying to be mad but found herself smiling.
Sirius tried to sneak up on Faith but slipped in a large mud puddle. Faith looked back at him and laughed.
Sirius sat in the mud in shock. He ran a hand through his hair and realized his hands were all muddy. Faith only laughed harder and walked over to him. She kneeled down being sure not to get dirty.
"Your wearing white." Sirius said looking Faith in the eye and smiled.
"Sirius Black you nasty thing!" Faith gasped pulling her robes across her tighter.
"Are you going to help me up?" Sirius said holding out his hand. Faith stood there and bit her lower lip.
"Please?" Sirius said pouting and then quickly turned it into a smile (Ok, all the girls at once: sigh). Faith looked at him and walked carefully grabbing his hand and helping him up.
"Sirius." She yelped as she almost slipped herself. He grabbed her by the elbow with his other hand.
'Now is the perfect time. Tell her you like her.' Sirius thought. He couldn't seem tobring himself todo it.
"Come on." Faith said turning around and walking away. Sirius threw his head back and make a look of fustraion.
