Chapter 7: Boys

"So . . . are you ok Evans?" James shook his head. "Lily," he corrected himself.

"Er yeah, my legs just sprained that's all, nothing really big," Lily answered smiling. "How did you know I was here?" asked Lily.

"Oh well, my brother got injured, so I went to check on him. Then I saw you here," James said smiling. Lily blushed slightly.

Britney sat from the other side of the room, annoyed.

"Well, I'm fine," Lily answered.

"Good," James answered smiling. "So how have you been? Besides the ankle bit," James said nodding to her ankle.

Soon Lily and James were in a quiet conversation. But that didn't annoy Britney for long. She saw Haylie and Michael talking quickly and quietly together. But it wasn't like they normally did. They were almost flirting, but then so were Lily and James in away. But still –

"Shut up!" Britney told Lily and James quietly enough so Michael and Haylie couldn't hear.

James looked at Britney. "What?" he asked a bit upset that someone ended his conversation with Lily! Britney nodded towards their siblings.

Lily and James' attention were moved to the two sixteen year olds.

"So does it really hurt a lot?" asked Haylie smiling at him, she moved her hand to where Michaels cut was. He winced. But it seemed sort of false. "Sorry," she said a bit embarrassed.

"It's ok, it doesn't really hurt," he answered.

"Good," Haylie smiled. "How long do you have to stay in here for?"

"Dunno," sighed Michael. Britney rolled her eyes.

"Hopefully you'll get better soon," said Haylie slyly. "I'll see you later," she said even quieter to Michael. She got up and left. Michael was grinning like an idiot, and was too oblivious to see Britney, Lily and James watching him.

"I think you should go James," Britney said smiling.

"Er, yeah," said James frowning. "Bye Lily," he turned to leave when he saw Britney's annoyed expression. "Oh, and I can't forget Girly!" Britney glared.

Sunday Morning

"All three of you can go, Ms. Turner I'd like you to come back here for dinner though," Britney nodded and quickly as she could ran down the great hall to breakfast.

"Do you think we'll kiss?" asked Tess excitedly.

Soon as Britney heard this she stopped and turned around, how could she forget it was the day that Tess and Patrick went out? But she got stopped by Dom. "Where are you going?" he asked smiling.

Perfect! "Back to the dormitory, to hide!" Britney said smiling as well.

"Ah, but breakfast is this way, love!" he said with a wink.

Hmm, he's actually quite good looking, thought Britney. Shut up brain! "Yeah, but I'm sort of avoiding someone," Britney said slowly.

"Well then sit with me!" Dom said enthusiastically. Before Britney knew it, Dom was dragging her to two empty seats away from Tess.

She sat down, very confused. She swallowed.

"Are you far away from the person you're avoiding?" he asked. Britney looked down the table.

"Apparently," she muttered.

"Don't be nervous, love," he said smiling.

"I'm not nervous," Britney said a little too quickly. Dom sighed then rolled his eyes. "Why are you rolling you eyes?"

"You're being strange," Dom said staring at her, which was making Britney uncomfortable.

"I'm being strange?" Britney asked incredulously. "I bump into you, and you won't even let me go to my dormitory! You drag me here, and then you start calling me strange? That in your case is called a retard!" Britney said loudly. A few people looked, while Dom started to laugh.

This got Britney mad, so she stomped out of the Great Hall and onto the grounds. Dom followed her.

"Brit! Britney, will you wait up?" Dom asked. He caught up to her and stood in front of her.

"Move," Britney said. She exaggerated the length of the word.

"No," Dom said the same way. He smiled then raised his eyebrows. This outraged Britney. Someone was talking back to her and wasn't joking, that had to be a first. James and Sirius of course stood up to her, but it was different . . . way different.

"What did you say?" Britney asked.

"I said 'no'," Dom answered simply. "Are you going to have a tantrum?" he asked. "Not getting your way are you Britney?" He asked.

Britney was taken aback. Her parents did what she asked, her sister did, and her friends (except for maybe Tess but she usually won), James and Sirius talked back but again, that was different. She stayed silent.

Dom smiled slightly. "I'll say this Britney," he moved his mouth to her ear, "you won't get your way with me," Dom whispered. He walked back to the castle.

Girls Dormitory

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, you want us to follow you on your date?" asked Lily.

"Yeah, come on it will be fun!" Tess whined.

"Why?" asked Alice, bemused by the proposal.

"Don't be silly Alice, so you can see how perfect we are, and how it wasn't all a waste!" Tess said dramatically. Daisy sat on her bed, looking confused.

"Believe me, anyone who's with you, is a far from perfect relationship," Daisy said.

Lily and Alice laughed. Just then the Girl's Dormitory door slammed open, causing the four girls to jump. Britney stormed in and ran to her bed.

"Why does she always storm in when I talk about Patrick?" Tess asked. Lily ignored her and sat down beside Britney.

"Brit, what happened?" Lily asked nicely.

"Dom! If Tess never started to like Patrick, I would never have met stupid Dom!" Britney said angrily to the pillow.

"What happened?" Alice repeated Lily. Britney sat up tears were soon to come. "What did Dom do?"

Britney looked as if she would let out a sob but then stopped. "Nothing," Britney answered. Lily looked at her stunned by this change in emotion so quickly.

"Nothing?" asked Daisy. "What was the commotion for?"

"She was just trying to get attention on my big day," Tess said snootily.

"Oh shut up! You're not getting married!" Britney snapped. Her expression softened. "He stood up to me," Britney answered sadly.

"That made you close to tears?" Lily asked bemused.

"Well, it's more to what he said," Britney started thoughtfully.

"Which was?" Daisy asked.

"We'll talk about it tonight, now tell Britney my plan, and we'll all get going, how does that sound?" Tess said impatiently.

Lily sighed, and helped Britney off her bed.

The Date

"I don't see why we're following them," complained Britney as they hid behind a tree. They had been following them for ten minutes, and they talked about nothing. Then something caught Britney and Lily's attention.

"So do you like Hippogriffs?" Patrick asked Tess. This caused Lily and Britney to burst out laughing. Patrick looked over in their direction but they quickly hid completely behind the tree.

"Er, of course!" Tess said confused. "Did you know a hippogriff's eat human's I read it in a book," Tess said.

Patrick looked extremely confused.

Lily whispered in Britney's ear. "I bet she doesn't even know what a hippogriff is," this comment caused Britney to try with all her might to retain her giggles.

"Sure," said Patrick slowly. "I was pretty sure Hippogriffs ate animals, not humans. But if you say so," said Patrick unconvinced.

Tess' eyes widened. "Ha, I'm just kidding! I just tested you, to see if you knew, what – it – meant – well," Tess said lost for words. Patrick frowned. "They're so cute and I love the fur! They're my favorite land animal!"

"Er, they're not 100 land animal . . . they fly a lot and they have feathers not fur," Patrick answered slowly.

"See! Yeah! You passed the test!" Tess laughed nervously.

"That is very pathetic," mumbled Alice.

"Here comes the bride," whispered Britney.

Tess and Patrick continued they're pathetic conversation, and walked past the greenhouse, where they stopped and sat on a bench in front of it.

The four girls were now standing behind one of the walls surrounding the greenhouses. Lily looked over and found a group of Slytherins not far from them, and that strange Snape boy sitting down reading, also not far away.

Then the James, Sirius and Remus came running out of an opening in the wall surrounding the Greenhouse. They were running really fast and laughing. Lily looked at Britney, who just shrugged.

That's when the answer, was well, answered. A loud explosion erupted the area of the Greenhouses. The students surrounding it, looked in the air. Liquid came bursting from the greenhouses, and they landed on all four girls, Tess, Snape, Patrick, and the group of Slytherins.

The air smelled like petrol. Suddenly, boils started sprouting on all the students. They all started screaming.

"EW!" screamed the four girls. They all scattered in different directions.

Sirius was howling but James and Remus were silent. The bubotuber had reached Lily, this caused James to frown slightly. But on the other hand, it reached Snape, which caused James to laugh.

"Where's Peter?" asked Remus. Sirius looked for him. Then they saw Peter running out of the Greenhouses with boils everywhere.

"He didn't make it," said Sirius trying not to laugh at his friend.

Then a few teachers came to the scene, and cleaned up the liquid, and they ushered the suffering students to the hospital wing.
