Chikus: Hello everyone. Sorry it took so long to update, but we have been super busy. As promised here are the notes going between Liy and her best friend. Bold is Lily and itallics is her best friend Anna. The question is what are they up to? I just guess you are going to have to read and find out.
(Lily takes out a piece of parchment and starts to scribble on it while giggling.)
Lily: I guess this means Madam Pompfrey wasn't able to undo our hex…
(She glances as James quickly and starts to giggle again.)
I still think we should have made him bright pink.
(Anna looks over at James and giggles softly)
Anna: Nah. We couldn't completely destroy that ego of his. I was in no mood for a bawling James Potter. Besides, he knows we could have done much worse. It shows we have compassion.
Since when have we cared about being compassionate, especially after what he pulled? And anyway, he could use loosing a little bit of that ego, maybe it will leave some room in that brain of his for more important things than himself.
(Lily glances at Sirius and sees that he points to Anna and smiles broadly.)
Why is Black pointing at you and smiling?
(Anna, turns around smiles sweetly at Sirius, then turns back, rolling her eyes.)
Well, remember how he approached me in the library? He asked me if I wanted to go to Hogsmede with him and I agreed.
(Without realizing what she is doing, Lily stands up and yells out loud.)
"WHAT?"
(The professor stops speaking and turns around to face Ms. Evans.)
Professor: What is it Ms. Evans?
Lily: Oh…I…I just wanted you to repeat what you had just said because I didn't quite hear you. And after all, this subject is just so fascinating that I would hate to miss anything of importance.
Professor: You are in the front seat of the front row of the class and you are unable to hear me?
Yeah…I have trouble hearing sometimes…It is a…a…genetic disorder that runs in my family.
(She smiles sweetly at the Professor and then takes a seat in her chair.)
Professor: Very well… I was just discussing how Dragon Dung has been implemented in the use of various potions over the centuries and how it led to the restrictions of…blah, blah, blah…
(But Lily was no longer listening to what the professor was saying and was instead scribbling furiously on the parchment.)
What do you mean you said yes? Are you being serious or is this your idea of a practical joke?
Well...erm...Yes, unfortunately, I am being serious (no pun intended). Wait, before you virtually combust hear me out. He bribed me into it.
(Lily looks at Anna and raises one of her shapely eyebrows sarcastically.)
Oh really? And what could he have possibly offered you to make you spend an entire, unsupervised day with him?
Nosy aren't you today? Just kidding Lils. Well, I've always had a rather weak spot for sugar quills...He offered me a sizeable ammount, even in my opinion. Not only that, but we made terms on the date and outside of it. I said that they couldn't do anything to us for at least a month, which he grudgingly agreed to. I also pulled you in, and he says he will do his best to stop James from bothering you for two weeks. It was the best I could do, seeing that I would have to kiss him if I wanted anything else. I have no clue why he is so eager to go off to Hogsmede with me. He was pratically on his knees begging like a dog. Do you think he is going to do something to me on the date! Oh Merlin, kill me now...I am going to go out with the biggest womanizer to hit Hogwarts.
Well, after finding out you just said you would go out with Black, I am going to be a little curious as to the reasons why…Oh Merlin…He bribed you into going with him? Alright, you did do me a favor by keeping James off me for a while, which I appreciate immensely, but Sugar Quills Anastasia? You didn't ask for money, or something with more monetary value?
(Lily buries her face in her hands and laughs.)
Well, it is too late to think about what is going to happen now my dear, gullible, sugar-crazed friend.
Hey, no need for formal names Lillian. Or would you perfer your middle name? And Lily, think about it for a second. This is me and SUGAR QUILLS! You know how addicted I am to them. He ployed into my biggest weakness. I couldn't resist. And I am not gullible...
(A piece of parchment sails over, landing in front of Anna, who in turns quickly scans it)
Hmm it seems as if Peter has just sent me a note. Desperate little prick...He asked me to Hogsmede also, earlier, before Sirius. I would rather go out with a flobberworm than him.Well he wants to know if its true that I am going with Sirius. Merlin forbid, but I am. So, what are you going to do while I am dodging Sirius' suck face antics?
Alright Anna, you aren't gullible, you're just…just…would easily swayed make it sound any better?
(Lily snickers and brushes her hair away from her face.)
Peter asked you to go with him to Hogsmead? Are you using some sort of a love potion on these guys or what! I haven't really thought about what I'm going to do yet…I'll probably read a book at the Three Broomsticks for a while, get some things I need from the shops around town, and then head back to Hogwarts. My life is so full of adventure, I barely know what to do with myself. Pretty pathetic huh?
I have no idea why the male species is flocking after me. And if I made a love potion, I wouldn't waste it on those two. There are other, more elligible testosteron filled babes. Maybe its my new perfume? Whatever...You know Lils, just go with someone. I saw that atleast three guys asked you, which you all refused. You need to let a little romance in your life Lily. It'll do you some good. And with your day, that is getting off easy compared to spending an entire afternoon with someone you can't stand. Just put yourself in my position with James Potter and there you go. I have no clue what we are going to do on our little..."get together".
New perfume? Uh huh… My dear Anna, I don't think you're in any position to be giving me love-life advice. If I listened to you I'd probably end up in James's arms by the end of a day for the price of a chocolate frog. No, I think I'll just curl up with my usual book and enjoy the solitude while its available to me.
Lillian you are missing the point!Anyways, you know Lils we could cause some rather interesting commotion and show a little of our bad girl selves and make complete idiots out of the two most arrogant guys in the school. Do I have your attention? Lets say we both go on a date with the two men, wait boys,we cant stand and...spice things up a bit persay?
Did I just hear you correctly? Me…go with James?
(Lily turns around and glances at James who flashes her a toothy grin and smiles gallantly. She turns back around and stares at Anna disbelievingly.)
You CAN'T be serious?
No. That would be the date I am going with. Ok, I know, I know bad pun. I just couldn't help myself, you know how easily amused I can be at times. Anyway it would be perfect, they will never see it coming! C'mon Lils, someone has to teach those two a lesson and why not us? You know you want to. I'll give you chocolate frogs.
Hahahaha…very funny. And what makes you think I would sacrifice a perfectly good day to spend it with James for a couple of chocolate frogs? You'd have to offer me a lot more than that…And they wouldn't see what coming?
Ok, I'll bump it up to a month's supply of the chocolately amphibians and some of my sugar quills. And Lily, brace yourslef for my brilliant scheme that will flip their worlds insideoutupsidedown.
Okay, I'm listening...
Chikus: Dun dun dun! Ok, you are now just going to have to keep reading to find out if Lily really does decide to go with James and what exactly is Anna's evil plot? Please tell us what you think and if you would like us to continue with Lily and her best friend's note passing or if you would just perfer the marauders. Thanks and hope you enjoyed it and we would love to hear everyone's feed back.
