Chapter 5: The Future and the Jealousy.
Lily was really scared. She was sitting on her bed, shaking. She couldn't tell them. Of course, she couldn't tell them. Remus would hate her. They'd all freak out. That was the last thing she needed. She'd have to calm down and tell Professor Dumbledore. 'Yes. That's what I'll do. Tomorrow morning, after breakfast, I'll go and tell the headmaster.' Lily thought as she drifted into uneasy fit of sleep. She had a very busy night. All her friends, including the boys, had insisted upon her seeing their future that night. That included Tannie, Daisy, Sirius, and James. Remus had not wanted Lily to see his future. May be he liked surprises or may be he was hiding something he didn't want others to know about. Lily had decided to look into her friends' future without them knowing she was doing it, so she would know whether to tell them about it or not.
Lily was concentrating on the eyes of the infamous Sirius Black, while she was pretending to do her Transfiguration homework. Lily had always thought that him as a mischievous boy, who couldn't care less about anything. The future had been totally unpredictable.
An older version of Sirius Black was dueling. He was dueling against his cousin, Bellatrix. They were in a room with an ancient archway. There were many people there. Lupin was dueling with two people at once. There were also a few students wearing Hogwarts robes.
"Avada Kedavra!" Bellatrix yelled, missing Sirius by inches.
Sirius laughed. "I thought you aim was a lot better than that, Bella" He said.
Just then a spell hit him and he fell through the arch.
Lily was shocked. 'Is that how Sirius will die?' she wondered.
Trying to calm down, she looked at James's future, trying to find something that would cheer her up.
"James, are you alright?" Lily asked.
"Yes…No… I mean, I don't know. I don't know what to feel. How would you feel if someone you loved was dead?" James voice was filled with pain. He looked so sad, Lily didn't think it possible.
'Why is everyone's future so sad?' Lily thought. Without thinking, she stared at Remus. She realized that he didn't want her to see his future, but it was too late. Images were already flooding through Lily's brain.
Remus seemed to be in a shack. Tables and chairs were broken, while the sofa pillows were ripped. He sat in the only chair that wasn't broken, looking at the sky. He looked very weak as though he hadn't eaten in a few days. There were few clouds in the night and Lily couldn't see the moon. Remus moved to a window to see the clouds were clearing.
"Guess it's time." He mumbled.
The clouds uncovered the moon and Remus shrieked. Lily, horrorstruck, realized what she was witnessing. Remus was a werewolf. His pupils dilated. He screamed again. Lily saw his feet turn into the ones of a werewolf. After a few very painful transformations, Remus was turned into a full-fledged werewolf. Lily started panicking. What if Remus attacked someone? He could be expelled. Remus moved to the door and started attacking it, trying to open it. His nails scratched the door. Remus looked exhausted. Then suddenly, Remus shoved the door. It moved. It was almost open.
Lily gasped. Everyone looked at her with questioning looks. She couldn't tell them what she saw. It'd be like betraying.
"I just put a wrong term on my essay." Lily lied lamely. Everyone believed her, and resumed their previous activities. Lily thought she couldn't take anymore depressing things and excused herself to take an early night.
James had been watching Lily. She was behaving rather oddly. She would stare at one of her friends for a while and gasp. He was sure she did that to him too. He was suspicious that she was looking into their future without their permission. He couldn't prove it so he left her to it. He returned to her homework. Suddenly it felt like someone was picking his brain. 'It's just your imagination.' James told himself off. Soon after, Lily excused her self to go to bed. Other girls followed.
"We have to get together for our Marauder meeting together tonight, in our dorms. Leave the girls out of it because I don't think that they'd approve of what we are going to do." James whispered to his two friends. The others nodded.
"Let's go." Sirius said. "Hey, Frank, what are you doing?" He wanted to make sure that Frank didn't interrupt their 'meeting'.
"I still have to finish my Charms, Transfiguration, and DADA homework. I was a little busy earlier." Frank turned a deep shade of crimson.
"Does it have anything to do with Alice, Longbottom?" Sirius winked to his roommate. Frank blushed even deeper. "Well, see ya later, mate."
Sirius, Remus, and James went to their dormitory.
"Operation Snivellus is being introduced. Today is the first meeting. Let's take attendance, shall we?" Sirius was being overly dramatic. "Mr. Potter." He looked up.
"Here, sir." James rolled his eyes. "Okay, Sirius quit it. It's just the three of us. Why Snivellus? Couldn't you find a better name?" James asked.
"Well, I can't call it Operation Snape. It'd ruin the plan. And also because I think that Snivellus is a perfect nickname for that greasy fool." Sirius talked very slowly as though he was telling a five year old why the sky is blue.
"You guys are interesting to watch." Remus chuckled.
"Of course, I am a ladies man after all." Sirius bowed graciously.
"And Lily calls me a show off, arrogant jerk." James muttered under his breath just loud enough for both his friends to hear.
"We all know you have a think for Lily." Sirius always liked to state the obvious. "We better start planning."
"What are we going to do to him though?" Remus asked.
"We can make a list of things we can do to him and then check them off as we do them." James suggested.
Soon the parchment named "Operation Snivellus" had many things listed.
OPERATION SNIVELLUS:
THINGS TO DO TO THE INFAMOUS GREASY HEAD FOOL, SEVERUS SNAPE.
Put a spell on him so that he tells that he loves one of the Professors.
Spill the itching potion on him.
Put Veritasirum(sp?) in his juice and ask him who he likes in the class he has with her.
Ask Peeves to follow him and sing him sonnets.
Send him a love-letter.
Change his skin to lime green.
Put Red and Gold Nail Polish on him along with color his face the same colors.
Challenge him to kick Mrs. Norris.
Conjure rain clouds only above him.
Put permanent sticking charm on back of the robes and attach I LOVE MALFOY
Make him say I love muggle-born every time he tries to say mudbld.
Change Green and Silver to Red and Gold.
Find out the Slytherin password and tell everyone.
Make his voice squeaky when he talks to one of the Professors.
"I think that's good enough for say about a…… week?" Sirius looked at his work proudly.
"I was going to say a few days, but I think we can last a week." James said.
"I thought this was for the rest of the year. It's like two of these things a day!" Remus was so innocent.
"Did we choose him for the Marauders?" Sirius said, acting as though Remus wasn't there.
"Mate, I believe so. He is hiding his Marauder side at the moment." James said in mock concerned voice. "We'll have to have an adventure tomorrow night."
"Wait! I can't go tomorrow night. I have to go home. My mother is sick again. Professor McGonagall told me today in Transfiguration." Remus's voice was barely audible.
"Again!" Sirius was getting very annoyed. It was unfair how Remus got to go home every month. Not that he wanted to go to his house. It wasn't home.
"Damn it, Sirius! It's his mother we are talking about. Let him leave." James hissed. He was very sensitive about his or anyone else's family, considering he spent most of his time away from his parents.
"Right, sorry, mate." Sirius added with an apologetic note.
"It's quiet alright." Remus said. "I think I forgot my quills and some parchments in the common room." He exited the room.
"Well, g'night." Sirius mumbled, his voice muffled by the pillow.
"Good night." James replied automatically.
Lily was having breakfast the next morning. The bacon felt like chewing on the carpet. She was sitting right across from the werewolf. He looked a bit peculiar that morning. The full moon was tonight.
"Um, Professor Dumbledore, can I please have a quick word with you in your office?" Lily asked as she approached the headmaster at the staff table.
"Sure, Ms. Evans. Meet me outside my office in a few minutes. I believe you know where it is?" Dumbledore looked as jolly as ever.
"Lily, what was that about?" Tannie questioned.
"Oh, I just wanted to ask him some questions about my living arrangement and my parents." Lily was a smooth liar. No one questioned her.
Lily left after finishing her juice to find Dumbledore waiting right where he asked to meet for her.
"Twix." Dumbledore said. Lily smiled and shook her head. She'd never understand headmaster's obsession with muggle candies.
"What did you wish to talk about Ms. Evans?" Dumbledore asked once they were settled in his office.
"Well, last night, I was doing my homework and I started watching Remus. He didn't want me to read his future but I didn't realize what I was doing until I was into it. Is he a werewolf?" Lily asked the headmaster to conform her suspicions. Dumbledore's face was very stern.
"You mustn't mention your discoveries about Mr. Lupin to anyone. It is a secret he wishes to keep from his fellow students and friends. I will inform him that you know this piece of information. I will also arrange a meeting between the two of you. You must apologize for invading his privacy. You may also ask any questions you might have, but it isn't necessary for him to answer any or all of them. I will let you go once you let me put a spell on you that will prohibit you from telling anyone else of Remus's condition." Dumbledore said this all very slowly, making eye contact with Lily, so she'd understand that he was dead serious.
"Of course, Professor." Lily said. Dumbledore muttered the chosen spell and then turned to feed after Fawks, signaling Lily that she was allowed to go. Lily left, stunned. She went to her dormitory to pick up her books and hurried to class.
'She knows. DAMN IT! Lily knows the truth! ' Remus thought as he received another one of the sympathetic looks Lily kept shooting at him.
They were in Charms, and for once, Lily wasn't paying attention. Remus was very nervous. He could tell that Lily was feeling sorry for him. He hated being pitied. He was also scared that she'd tell his friends. He had worked so hard to prevent them from knowing ht truth about him. They'd either pity him or be scared of him. They'd never be friends with him once they find out what a monster he became. Remus shook his head and cleared all of the unwanted thoughts. He'd rather not think about it.
James was a very possessive person. He had always gotten what he wanted. He was also very jealous.
'Remus doesn't like Lily.' James told himself firmly.
'But then why does he keep looking at her?' Other voice said inside his head.
'Because ………' James was unable to answer that.
Well if Lily wanted him to be jealous, she'd achieved her purpose, James thought enviously.
'I am going to show her that she isn't the only girl. There are many others. I can forget her. Just because she is beautiful, it isn't everything.' James thought ineffectually to himself. She was the only one and he knew it, but he had never had to work so hard to get anything or anyone. All the girls seemed to worship the ground he walked on, or so he thought. 'I will find a girl who is better than her, even if it hurts.' There just wasn't anyone better in the eyes of James Potter.
