Chapter 14
--- January 29 ---
"I finally found you." James said giving Lily a light pat on the head.
Lily gave him an annoyed look. "What am I your dog?" Lily said folding her arms over her chest.
"Of course not you're my cute little girlfriend." James said with a goofy grin.
"I'm not that much shorter than you." Lily said letting her lips go into a tight line.
"Well from where I'm standing you look pretty short to me." James said chuckling.
"Stop picking on me." Lily cracked a smile and gave him a light shove. "Why were you looking for me anyway?"
"Ah yes, the prank my dear. It's ready." James said.
"Finally!" Lily said pulling James' neck down to her so she could hug him.
James smiled and tried to pry her off him. "Lily I know you're happy but my neck doesn't like this position." Lily let go immediately and a light pink color crept onto her face.
"Sorry." Lily said softly.
"I love it when you're all shy." James said giving her hand a squeeze as they headed towards Divination.
Lily just gave a slight shrug. "So…" Lily said impatiently.
"So what?" James said confused.
"What's the prank? When is it?" Lily said anxiously.
"Chill out." James said pulling away as if he was afraid she'd bite him. "I have to round up Sirius, Remus, and Peter later. It'll probably happen at supper most likely."
"Goody!" Lily squealed giving James a light kiss on the lips. "Now lets get to class." Lily said turning serious again.
"Yes mam." James said giving her a salute.
---{Girl's Dorm}---
"I don't know why this took me so long to decide." Andi said to herself as she fluffed her hair in the bathroom mirror. "I can't believe I actually went almost a month without Sirius he's so amazing and we're perfect for each other. I know he would never hurt me again."
"Were you talking to me?" Remi said poking her head into the bathroom.
Andi jumped. "You didn't hear what I said did you?" Andi said trying to look casual again.
"No but you know it's not good when you start talking to yourself." Remi said with a smirk.
"Bugger off." Andi said shutting the bathroom door almost getting Remi's face.
"Now that wasn't nice." Remi said muffled from the door.
Andi giggled. "Be out in a minute deary." Andi said smiling at herself in the mirror before exiting the bathroom.
"We're going to be late for Divination." Remi said grabbing Andi by the arm as they left for class.
---{Divination}---
"Late!" squawked Professor Linchley in her shrill voice.
"Sorry." Remi said cowering.
"It's fine take your seat. Miss Adams have anything to say?" The lanky teacher said letting her bug eyes rest on Andi.
"Uh sorry?" Andi said confused.
"Ten points from Gryffindor for attitude." Linchley announced loudly.
"What? That wasn't attitude!" Andi protested.
"Five more for back talk." Linchley said scowling. "Now sit down."
"Yes professor." Andi said defeated.
Andi sat down next to Lily and Remi. Sirius, Peter, Remus, and James were sitting at a nearby table. Andi caught Sirius's eye for a moment and immediately felt the same feeling she always got when she looked at him when they had been going out. Everything was going to be alright.
-----{Across the room}-----
"Stupid crystal ball. If only this dumb thing would show me the future instead of clouds." Jenna Lane a sixth year Ravenclaw said.
"What do you think it would show you?" Becky Torts also a sixth year Ravenclaw asked.
"No doubt it would show me and Sirius on a date this coming Friday." Jenna said examining her new manicure.
"I doubt it." Becky said staring deep into the crystal ball trying to find something.
"Oh." Jess said pulling Becky back. "And why do you doubt it?" Jenna said staring angrily at her best friend.
"Hello, have you not noticed? He's still mesmerized by Adams." Becky said nodding towards Sirius who was pathetically staring at Andi with his mouth open slightly.
"I can get any guy I want. When Sirius sees me in my muggle clothes and not in these baggy unflattering robes he'll be speechless. Adams will be the last thing on his mind. Whenever I wanted a guy I got him and Sirius will be no different." Jenna said with a grin.
"You're so full of yourself you do know that right?" Becky said annoyed.
"Shut up Becky I am not." Jenna said shoving the crystal ball aside annoyed by it's presence.
Becky just rolled her eyes. "Whatever you say."
When class ended the two girls walked across the room to the exit. "Move Adams." Jenna said shoving Andi as she passed.
Once Jess and Becky left Andi stood there confused. "What's her problem?"
"Who knows just ignore her." Lily said linking arms with Andi. "Suppertime!"
---{Supper}---
Sirius and Remus sat on either side of James and Peter sat across from them apparently not included in the prank.
Lily bounced a bit in anticipation as she watched the three boys whisper amongst themselves for a seemingly long time.
Once James was sure the other two knew what they were doing he took a swig of his pumpkin juice then gave Lily a wink. Lily gave an excited smile as she casual looked to the Slytherin table to where Tia was sitting.
With a flick of his wand Remus made Tia's body float and he directed her through the air to the front of the Great Hall in front of the teacher's table. Everyone's eyes were on Tia as she remained floating a few inches off the ground.
As Tia began to protest Sirius pulled out his own wand. "Silencio." He said softly.
The student body laughed as Tia mouthed soundless curse words. James pulled out his wand and began whispering a short rhyme. "Her outer beauty is quite fine, let's switch it and let her inner beauty shine."
With a flick of his wand Tia turned into the most disgusting creature imaginable. Her teeth were yellow, large, and rotted. Her hair turned course and stuck straight up on her head and her robes began to rip revealing large patches of fungus all over her arms, legs, and back. Talons formed where her hands had been and she had hooves for feet. A musty cloud formed around her and the teachers pinched their noses closed and evacuated the area.
Sirius took the silencing charm off of her and everyone had to cover their ears as the disgusting creature let out a earsplitting, inhuman scream.
Dumbledore entered the hall. "Silencio!" He yelled across the hall and again the creature was silent.
Everyone lifted their heads slowly and tried to find something to stare at other than the creature that was supposedly Tia. Dumbledore led Tia to the hospital wing looking disgusted touching the moldy creature.
Once supper was over Lily enveloped James in a hug. "I'm outty. I don't really want to see you two snog for two hours." Sirius said with a smirk. "Let's go Pete."
"See you soon Padfoot." James said with a grin.
James wrapped his arm around Lily's waist as they walked down an empty corridor. "James that was bloody brilliant but extremely disgusting." Lily said with a laugh.
"How was I to know she was that terrible on the inside." James said shuddering a bit remembering what she looked like. "Disturbing isn't it?"
Lily nodded. "Thanks James you're the best."
"I know, I know what can I say." James said cockily.
"Oh please." Lily said rolling her eyes. "How long is that going to last anyway?" Lily asked curiously
"A week at the most." James said with a smile. "I'm hoping they make her go to class." James said laughing in an amused way.
"Eww I don't the last thing I want is to look at that gross thing all class." Lily said scrunching her face in disgust.
"True. Well ready to go back to the common room." James said bumping his hip into hers sending her across the hall and into the wall.
Lily looked over at him angrily. "James Yantzy Potter that hurt!" Lily whined massaging her hip.
"That isn't my middle name where did you come up with that?" James asked still amused as he watched Lily stick out her lip trying to get sympathy.
"I don't know but could you please come over here and apologize." Lily said folding her arms over her chest.
James walked towards her and held his arms out to hug her but she had something else in mind. She lowered her shoulder and charged into him making him stumble backwards and smack his head on the concrete wall.
Lily's eyes grew wide and she ran to his side. "James are you alright?" Lily said pulling his head to her chest.
"I'm fine and much better now." James said nuzzling her.
Lily squealed. "You're bad."
James gave her a grin then took her hand. "Back to the common room we go."
---{After Supper}---
"Sirius! Sirius Black!" Jenna called down the corridor.
Sirius turned around to see a girl he didn't recognize running towards him smiling. She had clothes on that looked pasted on because they were so tight. She had a red top on that bared way too much of her large chest. Her jean skirt was as short as they could get without showing everything. Sirius made himself stare at the girl's face and not her revealed curvy figure. He waved Peter off. "Go on Pete I'll meet up later."
"Sirius it's been so long." Jenna said rubbing his arm and smiling big.
Sirius racked his brain trying to think of the girl's name. "Uh, Kim?" Sirius said dumbly.
Jenna's face twitched in annoyance. "It's Jenna, Jenna Lane. We went out over the summer don't you remember?"
"Oh actually, not really." Sirius said with no emotion. "The only girlfriend I remember is Andi because she's the only one that mattered."
"Sirius we had something special remember." Jenna said moving closer and pushing him into a nearby room.
"Look Jenna I don't want to be with you and I don't want to have a bunch of girlfriends this year." Sirius said moving away from her.
"What are you trying to say?" Jenna said moving closer.
"It means I'm done with all you little whores so leave me alone!" Sirius yelled storming out of the room.
"I'll get you no matter what it takes Sirius Black. No one says no to me." Jenna growled speaking to herself.
---{Gryffindor Common Room}---
"Where'd James go Lil?" Remi asked as she clipped her toe nails on the couch.
"I think to his room he had and extra batch of homework as part of his punishment for the prank and he said he wouldn't be able to concentrate if I was in the room." Lily said smiling to herself.
"That is so corny he just wanted to get away from you but didn't want you to be mad." Remi said with a grin.
"That's not true. He lov.. Likes me he always wants to be around me just like I always want to be with him." Lily said a bit red from her slip up.
"Oh Lily was love a word that almost came off your tongue?" Remi said with a mischievous grin.
"I didn't mean love. We're not anywhere near that. Love and like are just commonly used interchangeable all the time but I do want love to be a special thing. So me and James aren't in love yet." Lily said seriously.
"That was beautiful." Remi said rolling her eyes. "You two are going to get married some day it's obvious."
"Oh please I'm only sixteen I don't want to think about marriage. Besides you and Remus will be married first out of all of us." Lily said with a grin.
"We'll see." Remi said still chopping her toe nails.
"Bloody! Your stupid toe nail flew in my eye!" Lily yelled rubbing her eye. "It's bloody huge!" Lily said looking at a large toe nail clipping.
"Yes perfect shot!" Remi said lifting her arms up in victory.
"You little snot." Lily said giving her a hard shove. "I'm going to go." Lily said making her way to the boy's staircase.
"Hey I thought he couldn't do his homework with you in the room." Remi said.
"I'm not going to see James." Lily said with an annoyed look.
"Lily you bad girl. Cheating on James are you?" Remi giggled.
"Of course not." Lily said storming up the stairs.
"Lily!" Remi called up the stairs. "You're not mad are you hun?"
"I'll tell you when I can actually see out of my left eye!" Lily shouted back.
"I love you?" Remi said unsure what to say.
"Good bye." Lily said before knocking on the door in front of her.
"Come in." Some one called from inside the room.
Lily opened the door cautiously, immediately feeling uncomfortable. If someone saw her they would probably take in the scene wrong and tell James and who knows how he'd react.
Lily looked around and saw five beds. One was Zack Kurts's bed and one was Tray Vance's. The others belonged to Gregory Sharp, Ben Turner, and Jailyn Fox.
The only one in there was Tray. He was on his bed staring at the ceiling. Lily felt extremely uncomfortable with being in his room but she decided to make her way overto him. Lily sat down lightly on the side of Tray's bed and looked at him puzzled.
"Tray you alright?" Lily said starting to get worried.
Tray kept his eyes on the ceiling and let out a sigh. "What do you want Evans?" Tray said coldly.
"I just came to talk to you but you don't look to great. Why aren't you out with some girl? Last time I checked you had your own fan club." Lily said with a smile.
Tray turned his head slowly to look up at her and he rolled his eyes. "Lily no one likes me anymore. My fan club has now joined James' so now you have more competition. Are you trying to make me feel worse of something?" Tray said returning his gaze to the ceiling.
"What do you mean no one likes you anymore? I'll admit you can be too touchy but you're an alright guy. I don't get what your saying." Lily said trying to get eye contact with him.
"I mean that ever since Tia attacked you the whole school thinks I was in on the plan and everyone saw how cold you were to me the other day at breakfast. Almost every girl in this school wants to be you Lily so they do what you do. So now I'm supposedly the guy who helped try to kill you and everyone turned against me." Tray said once again looking at her.
Lily sat there amazed she didn't know that she had the capability to get the whole school to go against someone. "I'm sorry I just wasn't too happy about Tia being back that day and well you just reminded me about her."
"I understand just could you some how try to make it clear to people that you don't hate me?" Tray said.
"Of course." Lily said with a smile.
Tray finally sat up and looked at Lily instead of the ceiling. "What did you come here to talk about?" Tray said sounding a little more upbeat.
"Oh right." Lily said remembering why she had come. "Well that morning when you talked to me at breakfast you said something that I didn't get."
Tray furrowed his brow in thought. "I don't even remember what I said to you."
Lily gave a weak smile. "You told me that I should make sure Andi is careful around Zack. What did you mean?"
"Oh just that he likes to go for the gold right away." Tray said with a smirk.
"Go for the gold?" Lily asked confused.
"I thought you were a smart one!" Tray said with a laugh. "Let's try this one. He likes to take things to a higher level pretty fast."
"Oh." Lily said going a bit red.
"Yeah he likes to go for unsuspecting virgins." Tray said with a roll of his eyes.
"How does he know she's a virgin?" Lily said feeling uncomfortable talking about this.
"It's like his sixth sense I think." Tray said with a laugh.
Lily let out a short laugh. "Well thanks Tray." Lily said as she got up and headed for the door.
"Lily." Tray called before she left. "Don't become a stranger." He said with a wink.
Lily just rolled her eyes then shot the door behind her. Lily jumped a bit when she found her face centimeters away from someone's chest. She looked up to see James looking down at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Go to the wrong room?" He said almost sounding angry.
"No I was just talking to someone." Lily said backing up a bit.
"Lily what's going on?" James asked almost worried.
"It's nothing I promise I'll explain but I have to find Andi." Lily said giving James a quick hug then pushing past him. "Oh wait can I borrow your invisibility cloak?"
James still wasn't happy about the situation but he managed to get rid of the anger in his face. "What do you need it for? Do you want me to come with?"
"Well with Andi and me you never know how long we'll talk so just in case we're out past curfew I'll have it just in case. Sorry but I really need to talk to Andi just me and her." Lily said giving James a sideways smile that made him smile back.
James went to his room and pulled out his cloak and handed it to Lily and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. "See you later. You better explain this to me then." James said pointing at her and the seventh year door.
Lily sighed. "Nothing weird happened. Bye."
James gave a slight sigh as he watched his girlfriend run off.
Lily wondered around the castle trying to find Andi in her usual hangouts but she wasn't in any of them. She made her way down a corridor she hadn't been through since the year before. She heard two voices coming from one of the classrooms so she pulled the cloak over herself making sure she had her whole body covered.
She opened the door a crack and was grateful that the two people kept talking meaning they hadn't noticed. She pushed the heavy door open slightly so she could just slip her head in. Lily was about to take James' cloak off when she recognized Andi but stopped when she saw who the other person was.
Lily did a silent squeal as she saw Andi wrap her arms around Sirius in a hug then give him a quick kiss on the cheek. Lily shut the door and ran as fast as she could back to the common room to tell the others about what she saw.
A/N: Anyone want to kill me yet? It took me like a month to update and I feel so bad! I just had so much stuff going on lately and plus I had a writers block and your reviews got me thinking. Well anyway that's chapter 14 so I'm so sorry for the wait. So what's the deal with Andi and Sirius now??? Good question. Please REVIEW!!!
Thank Yous to My Reviewers
BurningIce22 - Thanks for the review… the prank wasn't really what I wanted it to be but I hope you like it
Firewalker32 - Hopefully I cleared things up for you in the whole part with Lily and Tray talking
Aqra - You made me laugh so hard when I read your review and you said I was the master I just found it hilarious… I love Sirius too but we'll see what's happening.. Thanks for the suggestions. I'm trying to get them to interact with more people. The whole snogging in front of people thing though, well all I have to say is they are going out and that's what they do atleast in my story that's what they do.
Lorian - Hopefully the thing Tray said about Zack was cleared up in this chapter.. Don't worry there will be plenty of Lily and James in this story.
