Chapter 2: Satisfaction
"Sirius!" James exclaimed as he just read Britney's letter.
"I didn't think she'd be angry," Sirius said innocently.
"Well she is," James muttered.
"We don't need her, do we?" asked Sirius.
"Yeah, she knows about Hogwarts somehow!" James said frustrated.
"Well maybe we can do it ourselves," Peter said thoughtfully.
Sirius looked at him. "Do it ourselves? Never heard of it," Sirius said, though he was just playfully.
Remus read the letter. "Just give her time, or something," said Remus.
"OR, we can change her hair color, to pink," Sirius said with a smile.
"Oh, how she'll forgive you with open arms," said Remus sarcastically.
James frowned. "Let's not, I really want to stay alive till I'm at least eighteen, then she can kill me anyway she likes," said James thinking. It was now the third week of august, and Hogwarts would start in a week and a half. Remus, Sirius and Peter were at James' house.
"Well," said Remus.
"Well, what?" asked Peter, looking at Remus curiously.
"Well, remember when Dumbledore said, 'Fruit likes to be tickled'?" started Remus.
"Now, I do," said Sirius turning his attention to Remus.
"Well, as I said before, I don't think real fruit want to be tickled, but what about a portrait?' asked Remus thoughtfully.
James smiled. "You're a genius!" exclaimed James. "A portrait of fruit, that's it! But, how many portraits of fruits, are there?" asked James.
"How am I supposed to know?" asked Remus. "We'll just look!"
"We tried that," said Sirius frowning.
"Wait? Are you being sensible?" asked James acting astounded.
"Yeah, I am," said Sirius.
Britney and Lily
"Can you believe how annoying they are?" asked Britney to Lily.
"Oh, how I can," Lily muttered. For the past week and half, since Britney received the letter from James and Sirius, all she had been talking about was the two "stupid, annoying jerks, who don't know when to stop!"
This was making this vacation boring for Lily. But having Haylie there, made Lily have more fun, as she would sneak out of Britney's raving to play with Haylie. Though Lily would have preferred to play with Britney, Haylie was doing the job pretty good.
"You know what I want to know?" asked Britney turning to Lily.
"No, please do tell!" Lily said sarcastically.
"How do they function with brains that small?" Britney asked angrily.
"They merge both of their brains together for it all to make sense?" muttered Lily. Britney burst out laughing.
"That's a good one!" Britney said laughing.
"Er, yeah," said Lily quietly.
31st of August
Diagon Alley
"Are you sure we're meeting Lily and the Snob here?" asked Tess impatiently.
"It's Britney," snapped Alice. "And, yes I'm positive."
Just then impatient annoyed words could be heard down Diagon Alley.
"BRITNEY WOULD YOU SHUT UP?!" screamed a voice like Lily's.
Britney and Lily could be visible just down the long crowded street. Lily was glaring at Britney and Britney was looking taken aback.
"What?" asked Britney, looking very confused by this outburst from Lily.
"All you've been doing for most of the holiday is complain about James and Sirius," said Lily quieter. "Could you stop?" Lily asked frustrated.
Britney stepped back from Lily. "I have been talking about them a lot haven't I?" asked Britney slowly.
"Yes!" exclaimed Lily, Britney winced slightly.
"I'm sorry about the vacation, I didn't . . . sorry," Britney said.
Lily suddenly looked sympathetic. "It's ok," Lily said and she hugged Britney.
"How, how can they just make up like that?" asked Tess outraged.
"They're best friends," said Alice smiling. Tess scowled.
"Hey you guys!" exclaimed Britney, and Lily and her ran to the three girls. "How was you summer?" she asked happily.
"Fine, how was yours?" Tess sneered.
"Er, great, until I got a letter from Sirius and James," Britney said.
"Oh what happened?" Tess smiled evilly.
"You know what on second thought everything was great, until now," muttered Britney through gritted teeth. Tess scowled again.
Britney rolled her eyes.
The rest of the day, the five girls got all they're school supplies, and were excited about school finally starting again.
September 1st
10:45 am
"Bye Mom, Bye Dad," Lily said hugging her parents good-bye. Britney dropped her off at her parent's house the night before school started.
"Bye Lily, send us and owl, please," said Lily's mom returning the hug.
"Alright mom," Lily went off. She looked for a compartment and found one with Alice and Daisy already in one. "Hey again," Lily said with a smile.
"Hey," they said in monotone.
"Britney and Tess are not here, yet?" Lily asked sitting beside Alice.
"No, but James just came in, looking for Britney," Alice said while reading her magazine. This comment caused Lily to jump.
"NO! Britney can't see James or Sirius!" Lily exclaimed. "We have to find Britney before James and Sirius does!" Lily shot up and grabbed Alice by the arm and dragged her out, Daisy followed.
"Lily, Britney could be anywhere, there are so many people, and the train is going to leave soon!" Daisy exclaimed over the noise of the students saying goodbye to their families.
"BOO!" said a loud voice in the three girl's ears.
"Ah!" screamed Alice. They turned around the see Britney laughing.
"Hey, who are you looking for?" asked Britney laughing.
"You, actually," Daisy said trying to recover after the sudden scare.
"Oh, well I found you, so, do you have a compartment?" but before any of the girls could answer there was a voice behind Britney, that made the three girls eyes widen.
"You could share one with us," said James from behind.
Britney's smile disappeared. She turned around and found James smiling at her. "Go – away," said Britney slowly so he could understand.
"No – way," James said in the same voice. Britney sighed heavily.
"Please, James?" asked Britney nicely. This different attitude was shocking Lily, this was not the same girl who was ranting and raving about James and Sirius.
"Did you say please?" asked James shocked. "After that hateful letter you're saying 'please', I think you should be saying along the words of, 'I'm sorry'," said James with a smile.
"You don't like me being polite?" Britney asked.
"I didn't ask for you to be polite, really, you just have to say 'I'm sorry, James my king, for saying that hateful letter'," James gloated.
Something different flashed into Britney's eyes and she grinned. "I'm sorry James that you are so stupid! You didn't ask for me to be polite so, I'm sorry that you have to be so vain! I'm sorry, I feel sorry for you!" Britney shot back at him. She walked past him and into the train.
James stood there. James looked over to his right, and so did the three girls. They saw Sirius, Remus and Peter rolling on the floor laughing. Just then the whistle of the train sounded off. Everyone on the platform scrambled saying their last goodbyes to family members and running into the train.
Lily, Alice and Daisy found Britney and Tess in their compartment. They were on opposite sides glaring at each other. Lily sighed.
"So what do you guys want to do?" asked Alice as she sat down beside Britney.
"I don't care," Britney answered angrily not taking her eyes of Tess.
There was a huge amount of tension between Britney and Tess.
"Er, what happened between you two?" asked Alice nice and slowly.
"What happened?" asked Tess. "She happened!"
Britney smirked. "Tess just thinks she's smart and witty," Britney said dryly.
Tess' eyes narrowed at Britney. Lily and Alice rolled their eyes. Daisy just stared.
"You two need to relax!" said Daisy exasperated, she then started humming. This caused Britney smiled.
"Christmas is in four months!" she exclaimed.
"Your thinking about it already?" asked Tess, her glare disappearing.
"Yeah, there will be lots of presents, snow and fun!" a dreamy expression over took her glare.
"You're mad," Lily said quietly.
Britney just smiled.
James and Sirius
"She really got you, Jamesie," Sirius said laughing.
James just scowled. "I doubt she'd welcome you with open arms," James muttered.
"Are you kidding, she will, all the girls love me!" Sirius exclaimed with a grin.
"What are you talking about?" asked Peter.
"I got asked out on a date!" Sirius said proudly.
"When?" asked Remus.
"When I got on the train, a girl by Kelly in Hufflepuff, wanted me to meet her in the transfiguration classroom after the feast," Sirius raised his eyebrows. "They love me!"
James and Remus looked a little shocked. "What year is she in?" asked James slowly.
"Fourth I believe!" Sirius answered thoughtfully.
Remus just shook his head. "You're unbelievable," he muttered. James just laughed, and Peter followed suit.
