Chapter 33 – Self Control
Hey everyone! I came up with the plot for this chapter whilst I was shopping! So don't have a go at it! And if it's moving too fast... good! I'm kinda getting bored of this one... wanna start on the sequel...
And there may, or may not be singing in this chapter... Still having an evil plotting session...
Influenza – WHEN ARE YOU COMING BACK?! Tephinini and I Miss you HEAPS!!!!!!!!!!!!
After many long months of hard training the Prowlers finally were able to control their gifts... All except Bec, who chose not to.
"Super Beauty... I could learn to love that..." Bec grinned.
"And I could learn to love the new you..." Sirius smirked, and swept her off her feet, pressing his lips against hers.
Lily, James, Remus and Frances just stood there, trying not to stare.
Eventually, the two parted, and Frances cleared her throat.
Bec turned, and blushed.
"You know... just cause you two are a couple again, doesn't mean we WANT to see any PDA's..." Frances tilted her head to the side, giving Bec the look she did so well.
"Frances! It's the last term of the school year! Lighten up!"
"I CAN'T! WE HAVE AN IMPORTANT QUIDDITCH MATCH TOMORROW AND THEN EXAM WEEK!!" Lily leaned back, and rubbed her ear.
"Frances! Calm down!" Lily took another step backwards.
"Sod off..." She turned on heel, and Frances stormed out.
Bec and Lily looked at each other.
"PMS," They declared in unison.
"Hey... Today'll be the first day I go out with the full range of my power!" Bec leaned back on the headboard of her bed.
"Huh?"
"I do exercise my self control in my powers you know," Bec gave Lily her twist on Frances' look.
Lily raised an eyebrow, whilst the marauders stood there, lost.
"Never mind..." Bec slid off the bed, and into her wardrobe, where she shut, and magically locked the door... just in case.
10 minutes later, she emerged, Her blonde hair straight to her shoulders, light makeup, pink, shimmery lip-gloss, and a perfect school uniform.
"Ready to go down to breakfast?" She smiled, and Sirius' jaw dropped.
"THANKYOU GOD!" He dropped to his knees, and threw his arms in the air.
James slapped his forehead, Lily raised an eyebrow, Remus left, and Bec just stared.
Sirius continued his unexplained praise, until James hit him over the head with Bec's Herbology textbook.
"Uhh... Let's just go now..." Bec slipped past the other three, and opened the Dormitory door, into the deserted common room below.
Lily followed her out, and left James and Sirius alone.
"What was that for?! Merlin's beard! That hurt!"
"Padfoot! Calm bloody well down! Do you WANT to scare her off? After it took you... how long to win her back?"
"Long Enough..." Sirius groaned, rubbing the back of his head.
"Are you guys coming or what?" Lily's voice reached their ears.
"Yeah... We're coming..." Sirius started down the stairs, still rubbing the spot where James hit him.
"You OK?" Bec asked, looking genuinely concerned.
"My head..." Bec came, and looked at it.
"Ow... that must have hurt..." Bec gingerly moved Sirius' hand, brushing hers against his scalp.
Sirius flinched.
"Oh COME ON! I didn't hit you THAT hard!"
"James! You used your gift AGAIN!" Bec chided, sending a death glare at James, "Plus! You picked a sodding heavy text-book!"
James rolled his eyes, and the four started out for breakfast.
"Maybe you should go to the Hospital Wing about your head..." Bec suggested, and Sirius grimaced.
"Only potions first... doesn't matter..." Lily pointed out, earning vigorous nodding from everyone around.
"I'll tell Impious for you..." Lily took a step, and suddenly slipped, falling down the stairs, landing unconscious.
"Lily!" James dove down after her, only managing to knock himself out.
"Oh for the love of..." Bec grumbled, and levitated the two, and took all her companions to the hospital wing.
Alone, was how Bec found herself wandering to Potions, Frances and Remus walking there together... already being there and all. But she didn't blame them... after all, they were going out, and needed to be together...
Suddenly, she felt very vulnerable, and noticed all the eyes on her... all the eyes she didn't want on her.
"With your new look, I wouldn't hang around with a mudblood, and wizarding disgraces like them..." the distinctive drawl of a Slytherin crept into Bec's ear.
"Bugger off Malfoy... You'll regret it..." One hand tightened to a fist.
"Ooh... Feisty... I like that in a woman..."
"I said Bugger off Malfoy..." Both hands were tense.
"One day... you'll appreciate me... and do exactly as I tell you..." That drove her over the edge. Bec whipped out her wand, and pointed it right at Malfoy's neck.
"I told you to bugger off... but do you listen?! NO! Limosus Mucosis!" There was a flash of white light, and a white worm fell to the floor.
"I told you you'd regret it..." Bec pocketed her wand, and left the albino flobberworm where it belonged... on the dirty dungeon corridor.
"Hello and Welcome to Today's Quidditch match, the final of the season! Today, We'll find out who wins the Quidditch Cup!!" Michael Jordan (A/N Bwahahahahahaha! I STILL find said name funny!) Declared grandly.
"And here come the teams now! For Gryffindor the Chasers: - Liu, Johliene, Potter, Their captain Wood, Beaters: - Black, Lupin and their seeker Stockaz!"
The Gryffindors waved as they entered the pitch... Soon they spotted the cocky Slytherin captain and his team, smirking.
"Let's wipe that smirk of their faces, eh?" Frances heard a voice in her head
"Yeah..." she nodded slightly, and from the back of the line, Bec grinned.
"And Now the Slytherins... Who've had some line changes since the last Gryffindor Vs. Slytherin match... The chasers: - Darrah, Da-Lignia, Silva, The keeper – Ferguson, the Beaters: - Black, their captain Alvarez, and their seeker, Serpens..." Michael said without enthusiasm.
"I want a nice, clean game! Captains... shake hands!" Madame Hooch picked up her whistle, as Jamie and Alvarez tried to break each other's hands.
The shrill shriek of the whistle sounded, and the Gryffindors kicked off, flying upwards.
"Have fun!" Frances smirked to Bec, as she tailed James.
"Ha-ha..." Bec frowned, and continued flying upwards, so she could see the whole pitch.
"Oy Stockaz! Don't worry your pretty little face... I'll get the snitch quickly so you don't break a nail..." Julian Serpens remarked snidely.
"Don't fret Serpent, I won't worry... And you shouldn't either! Although that bludger does look mighty threatening..." She winked at Sirius.
"The name's Serpens!" his eyes narrowed.
"What EVER... Not like I..." Bec dropped altitude, and zoomed quickly toward the ground, Serpens following.
Just before she crashed, Bec pulled up, whilst Serpens landed face first on the ground.
"Oh look! I haven't broken a nail!"
"An Excellent display of the Wronski feint by the Gryffindor seeker... Who's now examining her nails?" Lily slapped her forehead.
"Yo Bec!" Frances thumbed Bec upward, and she obeyed, whilst Serpens lay unconscious on the ground.
"Good one... but Fergie's just too good for us to score right now... even James... JAMES can't score!"
Bec opened her mouth but Frances shot her a look. She closed it, and Frances continued.
"So... can you do your thing?"
"What... catch the snitch?"
"Ha-ha no... you know... your... THING..." Frances raised her eyebrows.
"I know..." Bec veered off, and slipped behind the goal hoops.
"Hey Fergie!" He turned, and Frances gave Bec thumbs up.
"I think you're..." Frances scored.
"And Gryffindor leads 10 – nil!"
"Think I'm what?"
"I'll tell you in 10..." Bec high-fived Frances, and barely picked up Frances' message of "Keep going..."
"Go!" Bec flew up, and next to the hoops.
"Now where was I?" She tossed her perfect blonde hair over her shoulder.
"You were telling me what you thought of me..." He flew closer.
"Hmm... I think you're..." Frances scored again.
"20 – nil!"
- 10 minutes later –
"I think you're sooo..." James threw the quaffle through the hoop.
"180 – 30!" Frances and James gave Bec the signal to stop.
"Soooo Gullable!" Andrew nodded.
"My friends tell me that... But let's talk about you... Are you..."
"With someone? Yeah... In fact... he's the one up there with a beater's bat..." Bec flew off, and continued her search for the snitch.
"TIMEOUT!" Jamie called, and the Gryffindor team swooped to the ground.
"Ok everyone! You guys are playing really well... but Stockaz... try to catch the snitch soon, otherwise we'll be playing into the night.
"No-problemo!" Bec fixed her hair up, and got ready to kick off.
"Oh... and good Wronski..." Bec grinned.
"My specialty..."
15 minutes later, Bec was still searching for the snitch, until finally, she glimpsed some gold on the ground. She dived down, only to find it was a galleon someone had dropped.
She signalled the referee, and landed on the ground.
"WHO DROPPED THIS SODDING GALLEON?!" She held it up, and a first year Hufflepuff raised his hand shakily. Bec mounted her broomstick, and flew up to him, slapping the coin in his hand.
"Be careful to keep your property safe, especially gold things... It's really distracting!" she flew off, and then it happened.
She glimpsed the gold, darting around near Sirius's ear.
Bec leaned forward, and sped off to Sirius, who swerved to the side.
"What did I do now?!" He looked horrified.
Bec produced the snitch from up her sleeve.
"Nothing... You're perfect..."
"Aww..." Sirius snaked his arm around Bec's waist, and they made their descent to the pitch, with the rest of Gryffindor.
"GRYFFINDOR WINS THE QUIDDITCH CUP 330 TO 30!" A cheer went up, and lily ran onto the field
"WE WON!!!!!" Bec and Frances linked arms, and started doing the can-can, soon joined by Lily.
Ryan James sauntered over to Bec, grabbed her, and started snogging her wildly.
Sirius, seeing this, went over, tapped him on the shoulder, but was ignored.
Bec pushed him away, and kneed him in the groin. Ryan lost his grip, and dropped Bec.
"What's your problem?!"
"Uhh... I'm your boyfriend..."
"Actually..." she beckoned Sirius over.
"HE'S my Boyfriend!"
"Really?" Sirius looked shocked.
"Y...You're breaking up with me?"
"Augh! Why is it that EVERY time I break it off with a guy... other than Sirius, they do this whole: You're dumping me? Scenario?! Quit it ALL of you being an Amos Diggory!"
"Hey! I take offence in that!" Amos furrowed his eyebrows.
"Oh sod off you wanker..."
Gryffindor's celebrating carried all through the rest of the day, and late into the night, with rowdy songs, and drunken cries (Frances snuck in a few bottles of Fire Whiskey)
"C'mon then! Tell us the bloody joke!" Frances words were slurred.
"Ok... Two guys walked inna bar... the third one ducked..." Jamie laughed hysterically at his own joke, soon joined by Frances, and the rest of the drunken Gryffindors... just the drunken Gryffindors...
"I'm going to bed now... OK? Try to keep it down..." Lily tapped Bec on the shoulder.
"K..." Bec nodded, and hugged Lily.
"We won!"
James looked over from his corner of the room, and noticed Lily skulking up the stairs.
He left the company of the flirting girls, and followed her up.
"Lily?" James knocked softly on the door, and opened it.
"What's up James?" Lily looked up from her book.
"Nothing... I just wanted to check you were OK... I saw you leaving the party, and wanted to check... Whatcha reading?"
"Oh... nothing..." Lily stashed the book behind her pillow.
"What was it?" James shut the door behind him.
"Nothing!"
"Something dirty then? Peter (A/N STUPID UGLY GIT!!!!!) does that all the time... Uhh... Lily?"
"It is NOT...what?"
"Umm... what's with that figurine?" James walked over, and picked up the small scale Lady Lily and Godric Gryffindor... snogging.
"Oh... don't mind them... they do that for 10 minutes, and stop for breath... and keep go..." realisation dawned on Lily, and she lunged for the figure.
"Whoa!" She practically tackled James, who was surprised by the sudden change by Lily, and was thrown to the ground.
"Lilz!" Lily sat on James' stomach, and leaned over to his hand, to the figurine.
"Lily!" in one quick movement, the tables had turned, and James was on top of Lily.
"What's up with you?"
"Give me that figure..."
"Bloody hell! All you had to do was ask!"
"Yeah... I know... but then you'd get suspicious, and look at it, and I don't want you to! Oops..."
"Ok...I'll make you a deal... I'll give you the figurine... IF you go out with me..." A smile played around James' lips.
"Alright..." Lily sighed. James upheld his part of the deal, and gave her the figure back, just as the little people broke their kiss.
"Hey..." James squinted, "That guy looks like..."
"Out!" Lily pointed to the door.
"And she looks like... Lily! That's dirty! You and Me? In a figure... Snogging?"
"It's Godric Gryffindor and his WIFE James!" Lily gave him her 'know-it-all' look.
"Oh... Goodnight Lily..." James smiled fondly, and turned around to leave, when he felt Lily's hand on his arm.
"Wait..." James stopped and turned around.
"Goodnight James..." Her ruby lips brushed against James', and his heart jumped.
The two stood in the doorway, in pure ecstasy.
There's chapter 33! No singing in this chapter... two chapters over, I know there'll be... so it you're morally opposed to Karaoke, 35 will not be for you...
-Yawn- I'm going to yell at my radio now... IT'S LETS GET RETARDED!!!! NOT LET'S GET IT STARTED!!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!
