How It All Began

Chapter 5
* * * * "I, uh," Remus began blushing.
"Lily, over here," Bella shouted from across the common room. Uck, this better be important. It seems like Remus was going to ask me something really, really important.
I ran over to Bella and Rachel to see what was so special that couldn't wait 5 more minutes. "What's up?"
"I just asked Ryan to the dance!" Rachel exclaimed very happily. Indeed I was very happy for her, but what if Remus was going to ask me out!
"Oh my god! That is so cool. I'm so happy for you!"
"Thanks. I also have this perfect couple we can be!"
"Really?" Bella asked.
"Yeah. Well you see my little sister, Meredith, plays with these muggle dolls called Barbies. And Barbie's boyfriend is Ken. Isn't it perfect!"
"Rachel, you are crazy!" I walked away and back over to where I was sitting before. Only thing was that Remus wasn't there. (Oh, I don't believe it. Where could he have gone?") I peered over to where James was and there was Remus on his other side playing 'slaps' with Lindsey. (A/N: Anyone who doesn't know what it is, it's a game when someone puts their hands on another person's hands and they have to try to slap the person. . . Confusing.)
"Sweet Merlin Lindsey that one hurt. . . A LOT!" Remus shrieked in pain.
"I'm sorry Moony. I can't help it, it's a game!" Lindsey said innocently while batting her eyelashes. She is such a flirt sometimes.
"Umm Remie boy, I hate to break this to you, but I would like to hold my girlfriend's hand for a while," Sirius said chuckling.
"Hey, I'm back!"
"We can tell Lils," James said sarcastically.
"HaHaHa, very funny James."

(Lindsey's point of view)
(A week before the ball.)
I hate mornings! Mostly everyone is so cheery; it makes me want to
puke! I'm so happy Sirius isn't a morning person. Can you imagine if we
were married and he was a morning person? Let's just say his broomstick
would be shoved so far up his arse, it would be coming out of his mouth!
Okay, I'm going to stop rambling now.
"Lindsey, can you please get out of your dreamland and help me with this
potions homework that is due Monday?" James asked.
"Sure, what's it about?"
"Who knows really, probably something to do with a sleeping drought or
a truth potion thingy."
"Oh yeah Jimmy, that's real intelligent!" I said laughing, "Look, I
can't think right now. We are going to Hogsmeade today, and can't this
wait until, you know, tomorrow?"
"Oh right. How could I have been so stupid? Hogsmeade today! Ugh, I
promised to take Lydia. I can't break it off now," James moaned. I
snuck a glance at Bella. She has a crush on James, but she just won't
admit it to us. The only reason I know is because I 'accidentally' found
it on my bed. Okay, so it wasn't on my bed, it was on hers. But the
book was open. Okay, so the book wasn't open either. But it definitely
was unlocked. Okay, okay, so it wasn't unlocked, I had to look in her
trunk in a special compartment on the right side for a small silver key.
Other than that, she was practically telling me to read it. . . HONESTLY!
***Flash Back***
(Two year ago)
Ugh, I'm so tired! James worked us hard at Quidditch practice. I
swear! "Bye James. Hope you don't sleep well, you stupid jock," I
yelled half walk across the room heading to my dorm. James just smiled
and waved while slumping into a comfy looking chair.
I opened the door to my room, and saw Bella's little red diary on her
bed. No one would know if I read it.
I walked over to her bed and tried the clasp on it. Damn it! It's
locked. I guess I'll just search through her trunk. I know where the
key is. So I went into her trunk and found the little sliver key.
Eureka, I found it, and it works!
I flipped through the book and decided to read an interesting looking
page.
November 15, 1975
Hello again. Gryffindor won the first match of the season and what a
game! It was pouring and there was thunder and lightning. Surprisingly,
Fletcher had managed to catch the snitch even though his glasses were
completely covered with rain. James was definitely MVP today! Sure,
he's not the only chaser on the team, Lindsey did well. . . just not as
well as James! (Oh, thanks a lot Bella!) I gotta admit Remus did a superb
job as well. Ryan Wood is a wonderful keeper. Not once did he let a
quaffle go through, not once! Ah, how could I forget Sirius? Sirius did
a wicked job too. The after party was just as amazing. I'm so happy for
Lindsey. Sirius finally asked her out! It was about time too. Everyone
knew that they would get together! As for Lily, she was in the corner
sipping her butterbeer, pining for Remus. Last but certainly not least,
I GOT MY FIRST KISS! That's right, James kissed me. I'm in heaven. I
can still feel his lips on mine! Even in my bliss, I feel that he likes.
. .
"Hey Lindsey!"
I jumped up loosing my page! "Don't do that Rach. I swear I was at a
good part too-" I quickly put my hand on my mouth realizing what I had
just said.
"Don't worry Linds. I've read it before! Just find your page, and I'll
pretend I didn't see anything!"
"That's a good girl!" After about 2 minutes or so, I finally found my
page. Ah yes, I can't wait to see whom she thinks James likes.
Even in my bliss, I feel that he likes Lily! I know that it probably
isn't so, but I notice certain thing! Sure they fight, but frankly, I
feel it's just their way of giving each other attention. Why else do
people fight? They fight to hide the fact they like each other. Hey,
what could I do? All I can do is sit back and watch their secretive
glances toward one another. Sure, Lily likes Remus, and James supposedly
likes me. . .RIGHT! I'll just try to believe that!
Yours Truly,
Bella

So there it is!
(Lily's PoV)
"Okay, I'll help now! James the main ingredient of the sleeping
drought is-" Lindsey began but was cut off by a loud explosion.
"What the hell was that?" Rachel yelled. All the Marauders did were
snicker, but at least James pointed to the Slytherin table to give us
some clue.
"Oh, wow, " was all Lindsey could say. I agreed with her. Malfoy,
Snape and their little gang of Slytherins turned into scarlet and gold
chickens. Oddly enough, every time they clucked it sounded like 'Go
Gryffindor'. Everyone was laughing. Even Dumbledore smiled.
"I knew the wait was for something this good," Bella said grinning
madly.
"Well, we know we waited awfully long, but actually, it was part of
our plan," James started.
"We were to wait a while, because we were known for doing the first
prank of the year the first day," Remus added.
"And plus, we needed to look up the charms and the potion for it,"
Sirius ended beaming.
"That explains it," Lindsey said while checking her watch, "Anyway,
lets go. I want to get my costume already!"
"Aren't we impatient honey?" Sirius replied smirking. Lindsey simply
glared at him, but as quick as she did, her face broke out into a smile
seeing his face. It was one of those pouty, puppy dog faces.
"I agree with Lindsey. I wanna go too!" Remus said after taking a sip
of orange juice.
We all got up to leave but James remained sitting. "Come on Prongs,"
Sirius urged while James put his hand up as if to quiet him.
"You guys go ahead. I have to wait for Lydia," James replied
grimacing.
"I'll wait with you," I said, which quickly earned me a glance from
Lindsey, Bella and Rachel.
"Sure, I guess. Thanks." I sat back down and picked up another piece
of toast. Everyone walked out of the Great Hall, with the exception of
Sirius. He was skipping, dragging a rather reluctant Lindsey. I
couldn't help but laugh! It was silent for a while after that until
James broke the silence, "Why?"
"Why what?" I replied startled.
"Why did you want to wait with me?"
The answer was easy really. He was now my friend, and I thought I
should wait. Instead of saying that, a grin played at my mouth and I
finally said, "Because."
He frowned a bit, but soon smiled after he picked up what I was doing.
He simply answered, "Because why?" We continued on for this for 5
minutes until someone behind me cleared her throat.
"James, baby, lets go!" Lydia squealed in a squeaky voice. She was a
Hufflepuff, go figure!
"Oh Lydia do you know Lily?"
She glared at me a bit and nodded. Was that jealousy I noticed in
her!
A/N: Oh, I'm sorry I took so long. I had the worst writers block ever.
I have the next chapters planned out in my head. Please read and please
continue to review!!!
