Saturday, August 27, My Guest Bedroom, 10:03am
This morning was one of the best mornings I have had in a long time. I mean a long time. I finally have something on the marauders! It is a delightful little picture that I have hidden somewhere safe where they could never find it! Ha ha ha ha! Let me tell you the wonderful story:
I woke up this morning to a water balloon that was over my bed. When I looked at this blue balloon, it was right there, floating above my head. So I did the most stupid thing ever. I touched it. When my finger barley made contact with the rubber, it exploded into a million different pieces. Oh, and all the water fell on my head.
"POTTER! BLACK! LUPIN!"
Suddenly three men, actually boys, ran into my room. At first they were all worried, but they laughed at me when they saw my dripping wet head.
"Hey Lily, I like the new look. It really suits you!" said Sirius trying to control his laughter, but failing.
"SHUT UP SIRIUS! WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THIS?" I yelled at them (obviously I am yelling at them.)
"Whoa, Lils. Its not nice for you to be cursing." said Remus.
"Ya. What happened to a calm mind and solving problems with out yelling?" said James, trying to hold himself up.
"DON'T START GIVING ME THAT CRAP!" I yelled at them. I walked into my bathroom, the boys thinking that I was getting a towel to dry myself off. Oh, but they were wrong. Rachel gave me some water balloons from James' room just in case if I ever needed it. Thank goodness she did, cause I needed them now.
I opened the cabinet that was underneath my sink and got out a bucket that held seventeen water balloons. I was sooo ready for them. Lupin, the nice guy that he is, came to check on me to see if I was okay. He should have never done that.
"Hey Lils, are you...ABANDON SHIP!" he yelled and started to run. But I was quicker. I threw five water balloons in all the right spots. What is even better, these were the water balloons that didn't dry unless you said the magic word. Excellent, huh?
"Hey, what's happening Moony?" said James, coming into my bathroom. I threw seven at him, all in the right spots also. It helps being a chaser.
Black, my last victim, came in last. "What the hell happened to you?" he asked the two soaked boys. He then looked at me and his eyes got big, and I mean big.
"Oh shit!" he yelled. But he didn't make it out quick enough. Two landed on his back and the other three landed where it looked like he peed in his pants. He got out his wand to try to dry his pants, but they wouldn't. I smiled happily at all of them. I dropped the empty bucket and ran to my dresser. There I got out my camera...my muggle camera. I quickly turned around and snapped a picture of them, all looking like they wet themselves and what was even more perfect, is that they were in the bathroom, near the toilet. Catch my drift?
The picture came out quickly (a Polaroid) and I showed it to the three boys. Each one of their eyes became as round as saucers.
"No more tricks, okay boys?" I said to them all sweetly.
They all nodded vigorously. I said the magic words (Lily rules-which is true) and all of their pants dried up. I pushed them all out of the bathroom so I could take a shower. I kept the picture with me. (Later I put it somewhere safe where they would never find it.)
When I went down for breakfast, later that morning, each one of the boys had a sickly look about them. Mr. and Mrs. Potter had no clue of what happened. She kept looking to each boy, trying to read their faces, but not succeeding.
When I sat down, James looked over at me. "You are not actually planning to show anyone that picture, are you?" he said softly.
I smiled sweetly at him. "As long as you three play no more tricks on me, no one will even know about it." I replied to him.
He gave me a small smile, looking better as before and returned to his breakfast. Actually all of the boys looked relieved.
I think that this is one of the best days of my life. No more jokes are going to be on me! No siree. None what so ever. Oh, gotta go. I'm going to Diagion Alley today to get my books. Write Later.
Same Day, Potter Kitchen, 11:46 pm
Ya it is pretty late for me to be writing, but this afternoon was...how should I say it...different. I know that is not the best choice of words, but that is the best that I can do. I mean it was really different. And I need to write it down before I forget so here's the story:
We all flood to the Leaky Cauldron. When we got there I saw my two best friends, Lindsay and April. I was sooo happy to see them all. I mean sooo happy. We all hugged and talked to each other for a little bit. But the strange thing is that when I looked over at James, he kinda looked sad or something. I don't know, he looked like that for a split second and then smiled at me, like if nothing happened. I turned back to my friends and started to talk to them. The conversation went like this:
Linds and April: Hey Lils What is up?
Me: nothing much, you?
Linds: nothing. Did you just arrive with the marauders?
Me: Um, ya. I have been staying with James for the past week.
April: What? Why?
Linds: Ya! When did this happen?
Me: Long Story. I'll tell you later.
April: Hey do you want to stay at my house for the rest of the week? Lindsay is going to stay there too!
(This is the part where I looked at James)
Me: Um, sorry guys. I have to keep watch over my sister and I promised her that I would stay with her for the rest of the summer.
The thing is that I didn't want to stay over at April's. I actually wanted to spend my last week at the Potter's. Isn't that weird? So I made up that stupid lie so my friends wouldn't feel bad. Ugh, now I feel bad since I wrote that down. Well, let me continue on with the story...
I told James that I would meet him at three, here at the Leaky Cauldron. He said okay, and we all split up. I told them the story about Petunia except the part where me and James were talking about...well you know what I mean. We went to the bookstore and bought our books and after that we went and bought quills and parchment. But, we met up with the Marauders sooner than we thought.
The three of us were eating ice cream when Sirius came over, sitting next to Lindsay. All they did was flirt with each other. Actually, that's all they have been doing for the past year. Remus came and took the seat next April and they started talking. Since there was only one seat left, James came and sat by me. But it really wasn't that bad. I mean, ever since we made that truths, we have been getting along great. I asked him why they were all here.
"It wasn't me. It was Sirius and Remus. I swear. They saw the two girls and walked strait over here." he said putting his hands up in the air.
"Oh, so guys didn't want to visit me?" I said to him, slightly pouting.
"Of course we did. It's just that since we have seen you everyday for the past week, we thought that we should get to know other people." he replied back to me, grinning at me.
I rolled my eyes at him. "Come on. Let's go to Quality Quidditch supplies. I need some new gloves."
He agreed with me, so we went there, while the other two couples (April and Remus, Sirius and Lindsay) were flirting and you know, "getting to know each other better" as they would put it. We went back to the Leaky cauldron after tearing the boys away from the girl (literally) and we arrived back at the house a quarter after three. We all went to my room before dinner. This was my chance talk with the boys (in other words, see what was going on between my friends). I was a little worried that my friends will have the hearts dumped and everything would go wrong and my friendships would be in a million pieces.
So we all sat in my room, all of them looking around, like if they have never been in there before, and I clear my throat. They all jump up and see what is the matter (I wish I had a video camera with me, this scene is so funny).
"So," I say to them, as I lie on my bed and look down on them, "What's been going on?" I ask them innocently.
"What do you mean, Lils?" said Sirius, looking at me like if nothing was the matter.
"Oh, don't play dumb with me Black. I know something was going on between you and Lindsay." Remus laughed but turned into a cough. "I wouldn't be laughing if I were you," I said to Remus. That smile was wiped of his face in an instant. "You and April were getting along just fine, weren't you?"
I saw the stunned and reproachful looks on my friend's faces. I turned to James, and we exchanged grins. "Look, guys," I said to them. I got off the bed and sat down in between Remus and Sirius. I patted their backs. "I just want to make sure that my friends won't be one of your "girls of the week" things. I have seen how you guys can go with girls, especially you Sirius." He gave me do-you-actually-mean-me? looks. "I really do care about them, and I want to make sure they are taken care of." I looked at both of them and smiled. They returned the smile.
"Don't worry, Lils, they are too good to pass up, right Remus?" said Sirius, looking at Remus and winking.
Remus gave him a look, but told me that he wouldn't do that to them. I immediately felt better. Just then, Mrs. Potter called down for dinner. Both Sirius and Remus rushed down stairs. I guess they wanted out of the conversation. But surprisingly, James didn't rush down there with them.
"That was one of the best conversations I have had in a long time. I didn't know you could be so stern," James said, laughing as we made our way down to the kitchen
"I didn't mean to be mean or anything; it just sort of came out like that." I said innocently.
"Right, and I'll be the next Minister of Magic," he said to me.
"Look, I just want to make sure my friends won't have their hearts broken," I said to him. "I have seen how you guys go through with girls."
The strange thing is that he gave me a weird look. Like a...well, I don't know how to explain it but maybe it was like an I-would-never-do-that-to-them kind of look.
"Trust me Lils, I know my friends long enough that they won't do that to them." He smiled and that ended our conversation.
You know what, what he actually said wanted me to trust him. But I can't just trust him after making truths for only one week. I mean, it takes a lot for me to trust someone. But lets just say, he is getting there.
Stuff To Do:
1. Get Trunk
2. Buy more paints, pencils and drawing paper
3. Make sure both Lizzie and I are packed
4. Get more money from mum and dad
5. MAKE SURE THAT THE PICTURE IS SAFE!
