Chapter Three: Why My Hair?

Ok, ok...I realise my hair looks likes it's on fire...but really, it's not!

So why do boys always insist on putting it (the 'fire') out with something sticky?

I mean...There's only so much my hair can take!

And trust me, my hair has had it all...

Pudding, mustard, beans, cotton candy, glue, gum, ice cream, milk, and more recently...something I can't even name...

FLASHBACK

"So what's Quidditch again?" Lily asked uncertainly, stealing a glance at Kelsey and James, both of whom seemed to be Quiddtch-fanatics to say the least.

"LILY!" Kelsey shrieked, outraged. "How many times must we explain?"

"Quidditch is only the most important game ever to fly on this planet!" James waved his hands around dramatically.

"Yes...and that's all you've said about it..."

"Oh, really? Well, I'm sure James would looooove to elaborate more on the subject..." Kelsey said, going back to her ice cream.

"I'll tell you about it at school, all right?" James said, pushing the topic away. "Right now, I need to go get something..."

"And just where are you going, James Potter?" asked his mother from another table. Sarah and Rose had been having a lovely conversation about everything Lily would be learning this year.

"I'm going to...the...bathroom, yes the bathroom, over at Gambols and Jape's." he said nodding.

"All right, you have one minute...since I don't trust you with air..." Sarah said pointing to the door. (you might here that alot, I said it about one of my friends at school and I think it's funny to describe James (since he's the one that reminds me of my friend) as not being trusted with anything...even air)

"Yep. Be back in a tick." he said running through tables, occasionally bumping into them, without a care.

"I don't understand why we have to have History of Magic...I mean, who really cares about the history! We want to learn spells not who created them at Queen Alfred knows when!" Kelsey said.

"Yeah, I agree, but I guess it would help in the future." Remus offered.

"Well, I think we should have it...but by the way your sister Nicole, describes it...maybe we should only have it once a week." Lily said looking at Kelsey.

"Once a month..." Remus fixed.

"Once a year or not at all!" sang Kelsey.

"Nicole is in sixth year?" asked Remus.

"Yes, she's going to be very stressed this year, what with studying for the big, big, BIG important tests next year and being a Prefect...and with me coming to school, she'll be taking points away from me all year...it won't help her at all." Kelsey laughed.

"My sister is a year older than me...and I guess she doesn't like me anymore because I'm..." Lily didn't finish.

"A witch? Well, she's just jealous. But you guys will be able to fix some sort of line of communication...I think." Kelsey tried to help.

"Well, I was actually going to say 'because I'm a freak' but, your way was better." Lily nodded, smiling.

"Do you think first year will be easy?" Remus asked looking slightly nervous.

"I imagine it wi-" Lily never got to finish because something sticky, smelly, really really smelly, and heavy was dumped on her head.

Then the laughter of James Potter exploded around her.

There was a clunk and he was clutching his stomach rolling around on the floor.

"Oh! DUNGBOMB GONE BAD! WATCH OUT LILY! OOPS TOO LATE!" That was when Lily decided she disliked James Potter the most she could without hating him. You regret things when you 'hate' people. When you 'dislike' them, you feel less guilty if something 'accidentally' happens to them. Lily stood up, shook off her head, right above James, making him laugh harder.

Maybe he'll laugh so hard, he explodes...

"What is a 'Dungbomb'?" Lily dared to ask.

"Whatever is on you and James..." Remus said in a surreal way.

"Lily, are you quite alright?" Kelsey asked cautiously, standing up from her chair slightly. James was still laughing.

Lily nodded, picked up her ice cream cone, sat ontop of James' heaving stomach, and smeared the ice cream all over his face and messy hair.

By now, Rose and Sarah were over here. James grabbed Lily's arm from socking him one to the face, and Lily was holding James' leg with her free hand, hoping to keep it down and stopping it from throwing her to the air. Rose grabbed James, Sarah snatched Lily and both had to seperate the kids by a table.

"Lily, what happened?" Rose asked exasperated and struggling with the vanilla ice cream covered James.

"James?" said Sarah, inquiring the same question.

There was a jumble of words and flailing hands as James and Lily tried to prove their innocence.

"James, apologize to Lily." Sarah commanded.

Rose let go of James as he made his way over to the very red Lily.

"I'm sorry, Lily. But might I add: even withdung in your hair; you still look beautiful?" he smirked, liking the fact that Lily was still being restrained.

"James!" barked his mother from above Lily's head.

"I am really, really, sorry Lily." he said. "Here, let me help you..." he picked up the very amused Remus' ice cream float and poured it on Lily's head, getting it all over her and his mother.

"James!" Sarah screamed, outraged.

"Sorry, Mum! I was just trying to rinse the stuff out of her hair!" he said as his mother grabbed the arm with the float in it. She pulled on his arm, apologizing to Rose and Lily, for her son's awful behaviour.

"I'm soooo sorry. Normally he just pulls the girls hair when he likes them. I'm dreadfully sorry, please don't hold this against him or me. He likes your daughter very much, apparently." Sarah said looking down at her son in a wide-eyed, dissaproving way, while she gritted her teeth. He just smiled, being ushered out the door.

"It's quite alright. Lily is ah...used...to these kinds of things." Sarah said, wiping Lily's hair with a napkin. Lily was glaring daggers at James, who was behind his mum's back. He was winking and grinning at her, giving her the thumbs up sign. Lily wanted to give him a sign...but no one would really approve of it. She was grinding her teeth as he blew kisses towards her. She was imagining his head blowing up and sending out confetti. This made her smile. James, taking the smile the wrong way, continued taunting her.

"Alright, agreed." Rose said, snapping Lily and James out of their silent fight.

"Agreed?" Lily asked, looking up.

"Yes, what's agreed now?" James asked, tilting forwards, so he was wrapped around his mum's waist, looking up at her.

"We'll meet the Evan's at Platform 9 3/4 and then you'll help Lily get situated on the train." Sarah said looking down at her son, who had a big smile on his face.

Nooooo!

He'll kill me!

My mother just signed my Death Certificate!

How could she?

"Lets go, Lily. We need to get home now."

Lily sat cross legged on her bed at 9:30. Her hair was wet and she was in pajamas. She was looking at her school books, when a knock came on the door. Fearing it was Petunia, Lily hid her books under her covers and said, "Come in."

"Hello, honey." her mother said taking a seat on her daughter's bed.

"Hi, Mum." Lily said smiling.

"So what do you think?" Rose asked.

"What do I think about what?" Lily questioned.

"You know what! This whole...world!" Rose said excited like an eight year-old in a candy store.

"WICKED!" Lily screamed jumping up on her bed. She continued to tell her mum what she thought about it all, while Rose laughed.

"What did you think of Remus, Kelsey and James?" asked Rose.

"Remus is like really, really, smart! Kelsey is really cool, andher sister goes to the school already! She's a sixth year Prefect! And James...he's annoying..." Lily ended lamely.

"Well, he likes you..." Rose smiled.

"Unfortunately..." Lily sighed. "Why my hair?"
