Chapter 5: Impossible

"Yes!" Tess said loudly in the library, causing Britney and Lily to jump. Madame Pince looked at the table to see where the noise came from, but looked away.

"What?" asked Alice.

"Patrick is coming this way," she squealed.

"Oh for crying out loud," muttered Britney. Lily giggled. Patrick came to the table and looked at all of us.

"Hey Britney, can I talk to you?" Britney looked at Lily horrified. Lily just shrugged.

"Er, sure," Britney said uncertainly. Patrick smiled and indicated for her to follow him. Tess grabbed her arm before she could leave.

"Get me a date," she whispered happily. Britney put on a false smiled and rolled her eyes when she turned away. She followed Patrick, to behind a book shelf.

"So I heard you wanted a date?" Britney looked at him. "And, I want you to know that I will accompany you to the grounds, sometime!" He smiled.

Britney's mouth was open slightly. "Ok, no, wait it wasn't me!"

"It's ok you don't have to lie," Patrick said taking her hand. Britney pulled it away.

"Lily!" she said loudly. Lily heard this and Lily came. Luckily Madame Pince didn't hear.

"What?" Lily asked.

"It wasn't me it was Tess," Britney said quickly.

"Who?" asked Patrick confused.

"Lily tell him, that it's Tess who wants to go out with him," Britney said urgently.

"Yeah, it's Tess, not Britney. Tess just got Britney to do her dirty work, I guess you could say. Tess is right there," Lily pointed to where Tess was. She was looking quite anxious.

Patrick frowned. "Dom said it was you, and that you kissed him, or something like that," Patrick said looking at Tess, as if he was seeing she was good enough.

"You kissed Dom?" asked Lily.

"Later," mouthed Britney.

"That's Tess? I've never seen her before . . ." Patrick said unsure as to a decision.

"Oh yeah, she's great! She is smart, pretty, really nice to her friends," Lily said like she was auctioning her off. "And she loves . . . erm," Lily looked around at the books for some help. She saw a book that was entitled Hippogriffs: Good or Bad? "Hippogriffs," Lily said. Britney looked at her.

"Hippogriffs?" Patrick asked.

"Oh yeah, they're quite beautiful animals, don't you think?" Lily said unsure as what Patrick would do.

"Hmm, I'll just ask her out for the fun of it," Patrick said and he walked over to Tess.

"Oh thank you!" Britney hugged Lily so hard.

They watched as Patrick asked Tess out. When he left Tess was squealing and talking so loudly that she got kicked out of the library. Lily and Britney went back to the table.

"You two do know that we aren't going to be able to sleep tonight," Alice said as if she was stating the obvious.

Lily, Daisy and Britney all groaned.

Near the End of September

"Remus isn't here again," Sirius said looking around the Boy's Dormitory.

"Ok, we really need to find out what is with him, because I'm starting to doubt that it's his mother who's always ill," said James thoughtfully.

"You think its Remus that is ill?" Sirius asked James. James just shrugged.

"Maybe he has an illness, and that's why he has to leave us so much, so he doesn't spread his sickness," Peter said thoughtfully.

"I doubt it. I mean why would the sickness happen every few weeks?" James asked.

Peter just shrugged. "Maybe he doesn't like us, and he just wants to get away from us every month," Peter said slowly.

Sirius looked at him. "I like the sickness idea better," Sirius said. James shook his head.

"Ok, so it's September 27th," James said looking at the calendar in the room. "Why don't we record every time Remus isn't here when we wake up!" James said happily.

"Yeah!" Sirius said happily. "How long before we know what sickness it is?" Sirius asked.

"Well, we'd have to go to the library -," James started.

Sirius groaned. "Not the library, we don't have much luck there!" Sirius complained.

"We don't, do we?" James said thoughtfully.

Middle of October

"I wish today was Friday," moaned Peter.

"Me too," Sirius said.

"It's Thursday, and we just got out of the last class, so it is almost Friday," Remus said, as the four boys just came out of their last class of the day. They were walking outside on the grounds, when James stopped.

He turned around, and so did the other three boys.

"What do you want Snape?" James snapped, at the sight of the greasy haired boy.

"I think you and your little group should watch out," Snape snarled.

"What?" asked Sirius. "Are you threatening us?"

"Yes," Snape said.

"Well don't," said James. "Because as Sirius and I remember, we hurt you, and I doubt very much that you could even touch us," James said cockily.

Snape made a grab for his wand and pointed it at Peter and said "Petrificus Totalus!"

Remus looked at the now stiff as a board Peter, his eyes wide. James and Sirius looked quite shocked at this gesture.

Sirius opened his mouth, but closed it.

"I will do what I want Potter," Snape snapped. Snape turned around and headed to the Entrance Hall. James and Sirius looked at each other than grinned.

Lily

"So after dinner I can copy Transfiguration homework?" asked Daisy skipping beside Lily and Britney.

"Yes." Britney said smiling. Lily looked a bit apprehensive on the subject. As they neared to the entrance hall, loud talking could be heard. When they arrived at the top of the stairs there, was something hanging upside down from the chandelier.

Lily squinted her eyes to find that it was a person . . . a boy.

"Hey! Isn't that the kid who James and Sirius attacked in herbology?" Britney said thoughtfully.

"It is!" Daisy exclaimed, and then she started laughing, as was the other students.

Lily laughed looked amused, and the five girls watched him for a good ten minutes.

"Someone should get him down," Lily started slowly. Britney, Daisy, Alice, and Tess were all laughing in hysterics.

"No leave him!" Britney exclaimed. Lily smiled weakly. Where were the teachers? Lily silently left her four friends and went in search for a teacher. She rushed down a few halls when she saw Professor McGonagall coming out of her classroom, towards dinner.

"Professor!" Lily said gasping for breath.

"Yes Ms. Evans?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"A boy, is hanging from the chandelier in the Entrance Hall," Professor McGonagall quickly rushed to the entrance hall.

"That is enough!" exclaimed Professor McGonagall, at the sight of Snape. She waved her wand, and the boy slowly went fell to the ground. "Everybody go to dinner!" Everyone silently walked to dinner. Lily avoided Professor McGonagall and she went to dinner.

Lily sat down beside Alice. "That was hilarious!" exclaimed Tess, chuckling slightly.

"Yeah, I wonder who told, they're sort of a party pooper," Britney said frowning. Lily nodded her head slightly.

"So you thought that was a genius idea, do you Girly?" Britney groaned.

"It was funny," Britney said dryly.

"No it was hilarious," said James in a matter-of-factly tone.

"Go away," muttered Britney.

"What did you think Evans?" James asked. Sirius raised his eyebrows.

"Lily," Lily said slowly. James nodded. "You did it?" Lily asked.

James and Sirius grinned and nodded.

"That wasn't very nice," Lily said quietly.

"He asked for it," Sirius said defensively. Lily looked at Remus who stayed silent.

"How?" Lily asked.

"He hexed Peter; do you expect us to let him get away with hexing our friend?" James asked.

"I guess not," Lily said thoughtfully.

"There we go, that's the second point we proved to day Jamesie!" Sirius said happily.

"No way!" exclaimed Britney, causing a few people to jump.

Sirius looked a bit taken aback. "Er, yeah," he said trying to comprehend why the outburst.

"That has to be a first! It'll probably be your last," Britney said impatiently.

"No!" Sirius defended. "I'll prove it to you!"

"Prove what, exactly?" Britney asked.

"That I can prove to you that I can prove a point to someone I proved to, or someone new I proved!" Sirius said quickly.

"Ok," Britney swallowed her food. "You do that," she said confused.
