Chapter 21: Broken Quills
"Psst." It was currently midnight and Bree had not been able to sleep, "Sirius."Sirius was sitting in the bed next to her in a deep sleep.
She picked up an empty cup from her side table and threw it in Sirius' direction. The cup bounced off his head and he awoke with a stir.
"Hmmwha?" he rubbed his eyes and turned around, "What time is it?"
"Around twelve."
"In the afternoon?"
"No in the morning."
"If it's not twelve in the afternoon you have no right to wake me up." He replied going back to sleep.
"Sirius, I just had to ask you something."
"What?"
"Well, I just had to say something that was bugging me. Sirius? Are you listening to me?" Soft snores were heard from Sirius' bed.
"SIRIUS!" Bree screamed and poking his collarbone, which made him wake up immediately.
"What?" he asked sitting up and rubbing his eyes.
"I just had to talk to you about something."
"Bunnies better be taking over the world right now. Because that's not even good enough to get me out of bed this early. Unless..." An evil grin spread across his face, "Unless you're trying to get in my bed."
"Why do you always hit on girls that have boyfriends?" She asked rolling her eyes.
"I believe your hitting on me." He insisted.
"No. I'm not."
"Yes you are."
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are!"
"DAMN IT SIRIUS I'M NOT!" Bree screamed.
"Alright your not." Sirius said holding his hands up in defense.
"Sorry." She replied sitting down on his bed and running her hands threw her hair.
"No its okay, my fault." He replied quietly, "So what was bugging you?"
"It's just...never mind it's stupid." She said heading back towards her bed.
"Oh no you don't." Sirius got out of bed and sat on Bree's bed.
"It's nothing important." Bree stated.
"Obviously something was on your mind if you woke me up at midnight." Sirius insisted.
"Well, there was something that I was thinking about." She started.
"Well, go on it can't be that bad, can it?"
"Was I really that mean to you? I mean enough that you would throw a bludger at me?"
Sirius sighed and ran his hands threw his hair, "Oh boy."
"Forget it you don't have to answer. It's kind of an awkward topic."
"Yeah." Sirius agreed and went back into his bed. Sirius broke the few moments of silence, "You were pretty brutal towards me. But I can't say I was all that nice to you either."
Bree rolled over so she faced him, "Sorry."
"Don't be. I don't blame you." He replied shrugging. He got off his bed and kneeled down on the floor. He rested his hands in his head, on the bed so his head was level with Bree's, "Besides, it was funny making you mad and seeing you all angry at me."
"Funny, huh?"
"Yup."
"Well then I guess I should get angry at you because then I would be doing you a favor."
"Maybe you should get mad at me." He replied leaning closer.
Bree couldn't say anything. She was inches away from locking lips from her enemy. Andrew was slowing slipping from her mind.
"And why shouldn't I?" Bree said finally finding her voice.
"Because I said so." Sirius said leaning in closer.
"That's not even a sentence." She rolled her eyes, completely breaking off the moment.
"Alright you just killed it." Sirius said sighing and leaning back.
"Why would it matter? I mean it wouldn't be all that pleasant if you did end up kissing your enemy." Bree stated.
"Well it's not like your ugly. Besides, enemies do kiss! Look at Lily and James." Sirius pointed out.
"Well I don't plan on kissing my enemy anytime soon."
"Of course, because you have the wonderful Andrew." This time it was Sirius' turn to roll his eyes.
"Yes I do. Whom might I add, never cheated on me." She said directed the comment towards Sirius' love life.
"No, but he accuses you of cheating on him." Sirius said getting into his bed.
"That was just one misunderstanding." Bree said shaking her head.
"Whatever." Sirius said shrugging and lying back down.
"Good night." Bree said sternly.
"Good night." Sirius replied, "And you know you want to kiss me because I'm so wonderful."
"Keep dreaming." Bree said rolling over and finally able to fall asleep.
"James Potter you are the most ignorant prick I have ever laid my eyes on." Steam could be seen coming out of Lily's ears and her eyes were dark and angry.
"Ah, but I see you have indeed been looking at me." He grinned stupidly.
"Why can't you just leave me alone and let me do my homework in peace?" Lily begged.
"Why would you want to stay in here and do homework when you could go on a wonderful adventure with me?" He asked taking a look around the, nearly empty, library.
"Do you want to know why I like it in here?"
"Yes, it seems rather boring."
"Because for the last six years you had no idea what a library was or where it was. Therefore, you never came in here. Unfortunately, this year you seemed to have taken a wrong turn on your way to detention and found it. Now I cannot do homework in peace because you're always here bugging me." Lily explained.
"But that still doesn't tell why you like it in here." James said smirking.
"It's because you're never in here!" she said louder than usual.
"Whatever." James said rolling his eyes as he started singing very loud.
"SHUT UP!" Lily screamed.
"Mr. Potter! Miss Evans! You are too loud, I'm sorry but your going to have to leave." The librarian said coming from a corner of the library.
"But-"
"No, buts Miss Evans. You may come back tomorrow when you are Mr. Potter are more quiet."
"Yes ma'am." Lily said picking up her books and putting them in her bag.
"Come on, Lil." James said grinning.
"You can at least make it obvious that you didn't plan that." She said glaring as they exited the library.
"Come on." James practically begged, "There's no school tomorrow. At least let me show you a good time."
"I don't want to go anywhere." Lily said trying to fix her broken quill, "Dang, it was my last one too." She said holding up the cracked quill.
"I can show you a place where you can buy a new one." James said, an idea suddenly popping into his mind.
Lily sighed as she debated with herself whether or not to agree. Sure James was a prick and she really didn't want to spend her free time with him, but she really needed a new quill. Couldn't she just barrow a quill from a friend until the next Hogsmede weekend? But when is that going to be? What if it was ages from now? This would definitely bug Lily, especially because she is not the type of person to depend on someone else.
"Fine." Lily said agreeing, "But this better not be a joke. I really do need a new quill."
"Promise." James said glowing with happiness, "Let's just stop at the common room really quickly."
"Fine." Lily said as they approached the common room.
"Meet me back down here for our date." James said winking and running up the boys' staircase.
"It's not a date." Lily said to the nearby people, "I need a new quill!"
Lily ignored the odd looks from the other students and went upstairs to put her bag away. She came back downstairs and saw James waiting impatiently by the portrait.
"Ready?" he asked.
"Yeah." Lily replied exiting the common room with James close behind.
"So." Lily started, "Where is this place?"
"You'll see." The grin that always made Lily worried spread across James' face.
"I just hope it wont get me into trouble." She replied stubbornly.
"And what if it did?" he asked.
"Then I will not be one bit happy and I will probably never speak to you again." She said warningly.
"Well, then I guess we better not get caught." He grinned.
"We better not." Lily replied sternly.
"Oh, Lil." James started, "Are you suggesting that you still want to continue on with our date, even though you may get into trouble?"
"First thing, I need a quill and that is where I am intending on going. Secondly, this is not a date!"
"Alright." He shrugged, "Stop here."
He pulled a piece of parchment from his pocket and pointed his wand at it.
"What's that?" Lily asked trying to peer at the paper.
"I can't tell you." James said moving away from Lily, "Marauder secret. But, if you date me, maybe I can tell you."
"No thanks." Lily said rolling her eyes, "One day I'm going to find out all of those secrets."
"Are you predicting that you're going to date me?"
"No. Jeez, you're impossible." Lily glared.
"Okay," James said muttering one last thing at the parchment before shoving it back in his pocket, "Let's go."
He muttered something at a statute that Lily couldn't quite hear. But she quickly realized that it was a password to some sort of secret passage because the statue suddenly moved to reveal a hole big enough for a person to fit through.
"After you." James said motioning to the hold.
"No way." Lily said backing up, "I don't know what's down there."
"I've been down there before." James stated, "There's nothing bad."
"Whatever." Lily rolled her eyes.
"What if I went down first?" James suggested.
"Well..."
"Come on, Lil. Don't you trust me?" James asked pleadingly.
"No!"
"When have I ever lied to you?"
"Tons of times." Lily replied.
"Please, Lil?"
Lily sighed, "Fine. Go in."
"Alright meet you down there."
James slid down the slide and out of site. Lily hesitated for a moment, but against her own will, she slide down the slide after James.
"Ow!" Lily cried as she slid right into James.
"Sorry." James said trying to untangle himself from Lily.
"It's okay." She replied letting James help her up.
"I guess I didn't think you would come down." James blushed slightly.
"Well, I almost didn't." Lily replied as they started heading down the passageway, "So how did you guys find this?"
James shrugged, "Curiosity."
"Really." She replied.
They continued to walk through the endless tunnel until they finally reached the end. Lily found it surprisingly easy to talk to James when he was alone.
James cautiously poked his head out of the hole and looked around to make sure the coast was clear. When it was he got out first then helped Lily get out.
"Ah, your party secrets are revealed." She joked as she looked around the storage room. All over were endless amounts of boxes of chocolates and sweets.
"Yeah, this place sure does contribute a lot to our celebrations." He smirked as they exited the storage room and casually joined the crowd in the store.
"Do you want some candy?" James asked as they looked around the store.
"It's okay." She said looked at some sugar quills.
"Okay, how about a butterbeer?" James asked.
"Sure." Lily replied as they exited the store and headed towards the pub.
They entered the Three Broomsticks and Lily headed towards the back to find a table as James went to the bar to get the butterbeers.
James came a few minutes later with the butterbeer and sat down across from Lily in the booth.
"Here." Lily said handing him some money.
"Nah." James objected her money, "I can't do that."
"Oiy you're such a gentleman." Lily rolled her eyes and put her money back in her pocket.
"Thank you, now will you go out with me?" he asked hopefully.
"I said you were a gentleman, I didn't say your were a tolerable man." She stated taking a sip of her drink.
"Fine. But what do I have to do to get you to like me?" James pleaded.
"Alright you're ruining a good night." Lily warned.
"So you admit it. You're having a good time with the intolerable James Potter." He said leaning back.
"Yes, I admit it." She said.
"Good, now I need you to say that in front of the Great Hall or something." He grinned.
"Yeah, well I never said your were a bore or anything." She replied.
"Wow." He sighed, "You're having a good time with me and I know I'm not boring you. This night is going better than I thought."
"Don't keep you hopes up." Lily replied.
They sat in silence for a moment as they drank their drink. Lily was the first to break the silence, "How mean was I to you?"
"That was random." James said tearing his eyes away from the window.
"I know. But I see Bree and Sirius arguing all the time and it drives me crazy. Does our arguing drive everyone crazy?"
"I don't know." James shrugged, "Doesn't drive me crazy."
"Obviously." Lily laughed, "You won't leave me alone."
"I can't help it." James replied.
"Ugh, why not?" Lily asked.
"Because I like you."
"I thought you would stop liking me after I yelled at you a couple of times. It worked in elementary school."
"Well, I'm different." James puffed out his chest.
Lily rolled her eyes, "I remember in elementary school when everyone was into boys and all every girl wanted was a boyfriend."
"Did you?"
"Of course." Lily replied, "But I never though anyone would like me."
"I like you."
"I know, James." Lily said staring out the window, "I know."
They stayed silent for a few minutes before James suddenly decided that they should leave because he wanted to show her something. So, they left the pub and James led Lily down the Hogsmede streets to his destination.
"James where are we going?" Lily asked after five minutes of walking.
"Just a bit farther." James stated.
Lily felt James' hand slip into hers as he led her through some forest.
"James." Lily whined, "How much longer?"
"You know, you are very impatient." James grinned.
Lily shrugged, "I know."
They walked a bit farther before James stopped and insisted that he covered Lily's eyes.
"Why?" she asked as he covered her eyes with his hands.
"Because it's a surprise." He said leading her the rest of the way.
"Fine, but it better be worth it." She said, and let James lead her.
"Okay." James said after a few moments of walking, "Ready?"
"Yeah." Lily said.
The moment James removed his hands Lily gasped. The scene in front of her was beautiful and breathtaking. Lily had no idea a place like this even existed near Hogsmede. A small creak passed through green trees. The tree's were as tall as the dark starry sky.
"Wow." Lily said, not being able to say anything else about the beautiful site.
"Yeah, pretty huh?" he asked sitting down on a nearby rock, "I bet none of your boyfriends in elementary school would have done this for you."
"No, I don't think so." Lily laughed as she sat down next to him, "How did you find this place?"
"Just roaming around one day." James shrugged.
"I bet this is where you take all your girlfriends before you dump them." Lily joked.
"Actually." James stated, "You're the only person I've shown this to."
"Really? That's surprising." Lily replied grinning.
"You think you have me figured out, don't you?"
"Of course I have you figured out. I'm a very observing person."
"Really. What do you know about me then?"
"You mean what have I observed about you?" Lily asked and James nodded his head, "Alright, you're a very nice person to your friends but you are absolutely rude to your enemies."
"They're called enemies for a reason. You're supposed to be mean to them." James stated.
"Your very caring, yet sometimes you barely show it. You date just about every girl you set your eyes on."
"Except you." He grinned, "Besides, how do you decide the person you want to spend the rest of your life with if you don't date around first?"
"Well, you don't have to dump them after one date." Lily rolled her eyes, "Anyway, you're very easy to talk to when you're not with your friends. You're very good at transfiguration and all your subjects, because you wouldn't be James Potter without the brilliance."
"Of course." James said puffing his chest out, "Anything else?"
"Other than you have an ego the size of Europe and that you're a prat but you can really show someone a good time...no."
"Very good observations." James nodded his head, "I bet I could say more about you."
"You don't even know me James." Lily stated picking at some leaves.
"Of course I do." James said, "Your name is Lillian Evans and your mother's name is Marie Evans and your fathers name is Thomas Evans. You have an older sister whose name is Petunia. You can't stand her and she hates you because of your magic. Your favorite color is green. You love sunny days and you hate cold ones. You like the snow occasionally but you don't like staying in it forever." James paused, "You've been friends with Ashley since you were a kid and you met Bree and Riley when you were eleven. Your birthday is on April fourteenth and your favorite ice cream is chocolate"
"Impressive." Lily nodded her head.
"See, I know more about you than you do." James laughed.
"You could definitely say that."
"Yup, I'm so talented." James sighed dramatically.
"No, you're just a stalker." Lily replied.
"I can't help it." James smiled, "You're like my hobby."
"You are so creepy." Lily said smiling.
"I know." James said handing Lily a rose from the ground.
"Thanks." She blushed slightly, "I can't believe I'm having a good time with you, Potter."
"I can't believe I'm still alive." He replied.
"Yeah, I think people get a laugh when they watch us in the same room. It's pretty entertaining how we fight over some of the stupidest things."
"Yeah." James added, "Yet we fight over a lot of things that are worth fighting over."
"Like what?"
"Like you dating me." James replied lying down on the large rock.
Lily laid down next to him, "Really?"
"Yeah, I mean if I would've given up by now, we wouldn't be here now." He grinned, "Besides, it's a story to tell the kids."
"Jeez Potter, you sure do plan ahead." She rolled her eyes, "Why are you so interested in me? There are so many other girls who are just falling at your feet. But, instead you go for the one who can't stand you."
"Well, that's what I like about you." James said casually wrapping his arms around Lily and pulling her closer, "You put up fight and don't fall at my feet. You're different."
"Different?" Lily asked closing her eyes.
"You stand out." James explained, "I don't know what it is about you. I can walk into the Great Hall and just sense if you're there because you always have a unique scent."
"Mmmhmm." Lily replied slowly falling asleep.
"I think I love you." James said quietly.
"How do you know that?" Lily asked her eyes still closed.
"Because I can't get you out of my mind. And no matter how many girls I date, I don't like anyone as much as I like you." James explained, "You're like a drug and I want more. I'm addicted to you."
Lily let out a quiet laugh, "You're sweet James. A big annoying prick, but sweet."
"Thanks." James said quietly as he rested his head in against hers.
"Good night." Lily stated.
"Good night." James replied, "I love you."
