Chapter 4: The unwanted always yearn for the touch

Olivia turned in bed, and buried her face in her pillow. Last night, at the feast, had been very entertaining. The Marauder's, had decided that Severus Snape and the rest of the male Slytherins didn't have too much of a feminine side, so as they had taken their seats, they had all been dressed in frilly dresses, with lipstick and blusher on their face, causing the whole hall to erupt into laughter, even the girls from Slytherin. The only problem was, the boys didn't notice what had happened to them.

Olivia was just about to drift off back to sleep when someone came and pushed her off her bed.

"Morning Liv" Sydney's cheerful voice greeted.

"Syd…every year, why?" Olivia exclaimed, untangling herself from within her blankets.

"Because since second year I mastered the art of waking you up, you're lucky I dropped the jug of water act" Sydney said, going into the bathroom.

Lily was lying on her made bed, with a glassy expression, it seemed she was trying to sleep with her eyes open so that Sydney would not attack her. Cassidy was silently snoring with her wand in her hand, warding off Sydney with curses.

An hour later, with many screams and fighting, the girls were all dressed in their robes, ready for the first day of school with the rest of the school.

They walked down to breakfast in coats and scarves as it was quite foggy and cold outside. After a brisk breakfast, and having received their new timetables, they left for their lessons. Lily and Olivia had Charms first, and Sydney and Cassidy had to endure an hour of Professor Kinaki, talking about God-Knows-what in Divination. They parted in the Entrance Hall, and made to different ways.

They took some seats in the almost empty class near the back, waiting for the teacher and the rest of the class to enter. Olivia laid her head on the table, trying to get some unforgotten sleep when Lily started to poke her.

"Lily!" Olivia exclaimed.

"What?" Lily said flipping through her textbook.

"Why you poke me for?" Olivia said in a dazed baby voice.

"Wasn't me…look behind you" Lily said.

Olivia turned and there was James and Sirius.

"Why are you poking me?" Olivia asked simply.

"Because it is so much fun to see you annoyed, and Evans is ignoring us to the point that were getting bored, so we thought of annoying you to death" Sirius smiled.

"Do you want to lose all you fingers?" Olivia said.

"Why would he want to lose all his fingers?" James asked.

"Actually it doesn't matter if you want to Sirius, you're going to lose them all if you annoy me with you're childish poking" Olivia said.

James scrolled up a piece of parchment and threw it at Lily, hitting her in the back.

She opened it and it read "Hello".

She sighed and using her wand she scrolled up ten pieces of parchment, muttered a spell and they all went after James with a tremendous speed, who had to jump out of his chair and run away from the balls which were beginning to hurt him.

"These don't have messages on them, by any chance Evans?" James shouted as one hit him in the leg.

"Not a chance in the world" Lily smiled, as she directed one to hit him in the shoulder.

Olivia kicked Sirius in the leg.

"What?" Sirius exclaimed.

"Just wanted to check if you were still alive, and to see if you're obsession over my friend has died yet?" Olivia grinned.

"It is NOT an obsession, I just think she is so beautiful that it's become abnormal, and she just has the best personality ever!" Sirius rambled.

"And you say you aren't obsessed" Olivia said laughing.

"I only like Cassidy…is that a problem?" Sirius said. "And I know she likes me too"

"Don't bet your life on it dear" Olivia said smiling.
