Ch 2: And the results are in...
Lily awoke the next morning with a slight twinge in her heart: nervousness. She pulled back the blanket that James had given her and sat up. She just wouldn't think about the try-outs; it was as simple as that. Katie was still asleep, curled up on Remus' shoulder. This was not what Lily was used to, most of the time Katie was a large lump of indistinguishable blankets at this time in the morning. She looked towards Lori; as usual, she was the first one awake. All the boys were still asleep except Peter who was nowhere to be found.
"Good morning!" said Lily in a cheerful voice, making Lori jump, although Katie made no response except for curling into a tighter ball.
"Oh come on! Get up sleepyheads!" she said as she walked over to Katie, ripping the blanket from her.
"Wha is ia?" Katie mumbled, a week attempt at 'what is it.'
"It's morning!" Lily said.
After many blanket-stripping, unknown mumbles, and a large tickling fight, everyone was awake and decided to go to the great hall together.
It turned out Peter was already there, Remus and Katie paired up, as well as Sirius and Lori, leaving James and Lily.
"So... do you think you made Juliet?" asked James, trying to get the conversation started.
"I don't know... Alexia Miller tried out," Lily said, a gloomy look spreading across her face.
"Well I'm sure you did!" said James.
"What about you, how do you feel about the Romeo part?"
"Well, lets just say that I'm not so sure about that" he replied.
Lily looked at him and laughed. "How do you do that?"
"Do what?"
"Make everything ok like that? I mean, 30 seconds ago I was depressed and you say one sentence and I'm fine," she said.
James shrugged his shoulders and laughed. "I guess it's magic!"
They caught up with their friends and sat down to breakfast. The boys quickly began to fill their plates with eggs, waffles, toast, and fried tomatoes, while the girls limited their portions to one egg and a piece of toast.
"Looks like you and your 'stalker' talked quite a bit on the way down here," Lori whispered.
Lily gave her her most 'not-impressed' look and continued on with her breakfast. Instead of taking this as a warning sign, Lori continued on.
"If you really want him that bad you should of just told me! I'm sure he wouldn't mind... I hear he's pretty good in bed too. And-"
"LORI!!" Lily exclaimed. Lori knew when to back off, and that time was now.
"Oh you know I was just kidding!" she said.
Lily glared at her and decided that a conversation with Remus might be a good idea.
After breakfast the friends all headed to their first class: divination.
"I swear, there is nothing more boring that I could possibly think of doing on such a perfectly perfect day to play quidditch." Sirius said, looking longingly out of the bright window.
"I agree 100%," James said.
"Welcome class. Nice to see you are all in good health... although I have predicted that you will not all remain like that much longer," said a young Professor Trelanway while eyeing her usual suspect, James. "Today we will be exploring the wonders of the mystical crystal ball. In it may behold your future, your past, or your present. Some of you may not, however, have the Seeing Eye. If this is true for you, then I expect you to try your hardest," she continued, obviously not noticing that half of her students were already in a dreamy state.
After she had passed out the crystal balls, she ordered everyone to gaze into it.
"Is there really a point to this?" asked Katie.
"Nope," said Remus.
"Didn't think so," Katie said, string at the crystal ball.
"Hey I see something! Its me and Lily and we're-" said James.
"JAMES!!" Lily exclaimed, yanking the ball away from him.
"You sure do seem to be yelling at a lot of people today..." said Lori with a fake pondering face.
"O shush!" said Lily angrily.
At the end of class professor Trelanway announced that the group would take the crystal ball, and that each person would have it for one night to study. An 8-inch paper was due on what they had seen the next time she saw them.
When the bell rang the sleepy students ran out of the classroom as quickly as is possible when half asleep.
"How does she expect us to write what we saw if we didn't see anything?" said Lori.
"All I have to do is make something up about seeing myself die and I'll get 100 points," replied James.
"You lucky dog you!" Sirius said, hitting James on the head.
Once they got to the Great Hall they found a large crowd surrounding the bulletin board. Lily squeezed through the crowd and looked at the new notice. She read the top: Romeo and Juliet audition results. She looked down the list. James had made Romeo, he would be happy. Juliet was at the very bottom of the list and beside it was a name: Lily Evans.
