Hey, people it's me again.
What's wrong with most of you? I write a good long chapter and nobody reviews! The only people who reviewed was Daisy Silk and Manny! Yeesh. (Thanks DS and Manny) I know my last chapter was a little wild but still, that's no excuse.
OK, about the French lady, it's really hard to understand her if you don't know what she's saying. So I wouldn't translate it until later because if you don't translate it, you're seeing it from the character's POV because they have no idea what she's saying. So I don't think it would be fair if you get to understand her and they don't.
Also on that matter, I know my French (a little) but it's hard to make her speak part French part English, so if I make a mistake, don't hurt me.
Right, here's the next chappy...
Last time on Truth Be Told:
'Madam d´Autmarre...that's the nurse's name...must remember that' Lily thought. Although it didn't feel like she would remember it in the morning as she drifted off to sleep.
~*~ Chapter 13 Fluorescent Blue Hair and Jessica and Clive ~*~
The next morning, Lily got out of the hospital fully recovered. She walked back to the common room and up to the girls' dormitory.
"Hey Lils." Arabella said clasping a hand on Lily's shoulder. "Your head better?"
Lily grinned and nodded.
"Where's Sara?" She asked.
"Still sleeping. It's Friday and since we don't have class first thing I'm letting her sleep in." Arabella said. (A/N: Lucky bastards! LoL)
"Hey girls!" Sirius said jumping in the room.
Lily and Arabella jumped back.
"Jesus Christ! What the hell do you think you're doing?" Arabella said grasping her chest.
"We've just come to remind you that the first flying lesson is this morning!" James said pushing Sirius out of the way of the door.
"It's in about 5 minutes actually." Sirius said rubbing his arm that James pushed.
"That's not till the end of Sep...tember-opps." Arabella said and rushed off to get Sara.
There was a scream and Arabella scampered back over to them.
"ARABELLA YOU MORON!" Sara yelled.
The boys laughed as a soaking wet Sara came over to them.
"Oh, hi Lily. Hope you're well?" Sara added as she saw Lily.
Lily shook her head at Sara, chuckling silently.
"We have flying practice!" James and Sirius said together grinning like idiots.
"Now? Why NOW? It's Friday for Christ's sake! AND almost the beginning of October!" Sara said.
"Yeah well, better than nothing." Sirius said.
"Better than nothing, humph. We'll freeze to our brooms!" Sara said and stalked off to the bathroom grabbing her clothes, mumbling.
"How come we have flying lessons now instead of the beginning of September?" Lily asked.
"Probably too hot or something, I dunno how a teacher's mind works." James said shrugging.
Lily looked at James and Sirius. They seemed to be in high spirits about the flying lesson. Then she looked over at Remus who looked tired and was leaning against the door frame.
He raised an eyebrow as he noticed her glance.
Lily looked away from him to Peter.
Peter looked terrified at the mention of flying.
As Lily was thinking about the boys, Sara came back out, decently clothed and fully dried.
Arabella put an arm around her.
"We're good now?" She asked.
"Get your hand off me or I'll kick your arse." Sara said scowling.
Arabella laughed but complied.
Lily smiled and grabbed her cloak that was laying out on her bed.
"Well, let's high-tail it out of here!"
~
"All right class! Now, stand on the left side of your brooms." Professor McFerren said. (A/N: I don't know how old Madam Hooch is, so I'm guessing she wouldn't be teaching back then)
Professor McFerren was a fun looking witch with black hair that was held back in a pony holder, hazel eyes, and was about 5'4 in height and was grinning cheerfully wearing just about nothing except her skimpy robes in spite of the cold.
Everybody walked to the left side of their broom.
"I know I'm going to fall." Arabella whispered to Lily.
"Don't say that, then you will fall!" Lily whispered back.
"That's how I know I'm going to." Arabella said.
"Now, everyone say, 'Up!'." Professor McFerren said.
It took a few people a couple of times to get their brooms to work with them, but everyone got it in the end.
"Good, now mount your brooms." Professor McFerren said.
Everyone straddled their brooms.
"Good good, now, when I blow my whistle, everyone kick off the ground hard, hover for a moment, then touch back down. Ready? Go!" Professor McFerren blew her whistle and everyone kicked off the ground. (A/N: Sound familiar?)
They all sat hovering.
"There, see? This isn't so hard!" Professor McFerren said. "No, touch back down..."
"And how do we do that exactly?" Patricia Matthias, another first year Gryffindors asked.
"Just push lightly on the handle." Professor McFerren said gesturing with her hands.
A few people almost nose dived into the ground.
"Lightly! I said LIGHTLY!" Professor McFerren said.
The rest of the people slid off their brooms instead of touching down, not chancing the nose dive into the ground.
"Excellent." Professor McFerren said. "I think that's good for now...almost time for your next class. Just leave your brooms, I'll clean them up. Good day to you all!"
Then the first year Gryffindors started to flock back to the warmth of the inside.
"Well, you didn't fall off your broom!" Lily said grinning.
Arabella mumbled something inaudible as they began to walk down to the dungeons for potions.
Once they settled in their seats, the potions teacher professor Verrand smiled warmly around at everyone. (She seemed to have forgotten about what James, Sirius and Sara did before.)
"Good morning class!" Professor Verrand said. "Hope you're all well? We're going to be doing an easy potion today on how to change your hair colour as a few people were wondering..."
Professor Verrand explained how to do the potion and wrote the ingredients on the board.
"Now, get to work!" She said and sat at her desk.
The Marauders sighed and pulled out their stuff.
"Why are you sighing? You could pull pranks with this stuff!" Lily said.
"We've already done it about a million times." Peter said. "Haven't you noticed?"
"Not really..." Lily said.
The Marauders all gasped in shock.
"What? You haven't noticed? Well we're going to have to get pranking!" Sirius said adding ingredients to his caldron that was heating up on the small fire underneath it.
Arabella rolled her eyes.
"Why're you grinning?" Lily asked Sara.
"Oh, was I grinning? Didn't notice." Sara said and continued to grin.
Lily and Arabella raised their eyebrows but continued on with their hair colour changing potion.
"Now, when you're finished, your potion should be clear so you can add the colour to what you want your hair to change to. Find an object and plop in into it and when you drink it, your hair will change the colour of your object you put in it." Professor Verrand said.
"Hey Reme, can I have a bit of your quill? Thanks." Sara said and plucked off a little bit of Remus's bright blue quill.
"Uh, sure." Remus said.
~
"Well, that was thrilling." Peter said as they came out of the potions classroom.
"Why is it that we always start a conversation like this when we leave class?" Arabella asked.
The Marauders and Lily shrugged.
"Excuse me." Sara said and ran down the corridors.
"Wonder where she's going." Remus said.
~
They met up with Sara at lunch time.
"Hey, where'd you go?" Lily asked.
Sara shook her head. "Can't believe it." She muttered pouring herself a glass of pumpkin juice.
"Can't believe what?" Sirius asked.
Sara shook her head again and pointed down the Gryffindor table.
Two very blue headed people, they thought Sara was talking about, sat near the end.
Jessica Whitmore and Clive Westman.
"You turned their hair blue? That's why you needed Remus's quill piece." James said.
"But that still doesn't mean why you're acting like you saw them snogging in the corner." Arabella said.
Sara looked up at her.
"You mean, you DID see them snogging in the corner?" Arabella asked in surprise.
"Well, it wasn't exactly a corner..." Sara said.
Lily patted her on the back.
"Don't feel bad. How can it get any worse?"
~
Lily had spoken too soon.
Now that Clive was dating Sara's sister, he came over to bother them all the time, pulling a few idiotic things on them like turning all their hair blue since he had his turned blue saying it was 'only fair'.
Then sneaking up on them during dinner and yelling 'Boo!' as they were about to take a drink so they'd spill it all over their lap.
They all envied Remus as he said he had to go home and visit his sick mother and got to get away from Clive.
So, that's how October was going so far.
R/R! IF you people are getting bored of my story, why don't I just delete it? I can, and I will if nobodies going to read it...although that would make me sad. But, tell me if I should keep going and I will, but if you don't want me too. That's...not really fine, but...whatever. You guys just don't seem to like it that much.
What's wrong with most of you? I write a good long chapter and nobody reviews! The only people who reviewed was Daisy Silk and Manny! Yeesh. (Thanks DS and Manny) I know my last chapter was a little wild but still, that's no excuse.
