Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters, except Hilary, and Jade. So, I do not own Sirius Black, James Potter, Remus Lupin, etc, etc. If I did, I would be in Disney Land right now.
Authors Note: I never expected a review for this... Thank you! I will continue! And, since the lines don't work, I will post 'Insert Line'.
Chapter 2:
Hilary climbed to her feet, yawning drowsily. Her arms stretched out, before she collapsed back down onto her four-poster bed, reluctant to climb to her feet for a second time. She looked around the Girls Dormitory, seeing Jade, Lily and another girl from their house sleeping peacefully, hair strewn across their faces. Hilary gave a sigh, before standing up to change into her robes before anyone awoke.
She gazed about the sleeping girls for a second time, once in her school robes, before walking out of the dorm silently, and traipsing down the stairs. Only a few people were in the Common Room. A girl, who looked around thirteen, another in her first year, and a boy who looked seventeen.
She sighed, slumping into an armchair, and resisting the urge to fall asleep once again. People would be stumbling down the dormitory steps, soon. She leaned back, giving off another yawn. The room was completely silent, except for the soft crackle of the flames. No one spoke with each other for at least fifteen minutes, when some people began to come down from the dormitory.
Laughing and joking came down from the boys dormitory, as the Marauders stumbled down the stairs, still slightly drowsy. Hilary frowned slightly, having been hoping that Jade would've come down before the Marauders.
They sat down, intruding in the misty silence, and totally ripping it to shreds. What were they planning to do today? They had their prime victims, so Hilary guessed it would be one of them.
She saw Jade come down from the Girls Dorm, rather lively, surprised to see Hilary already up.
"Hello Jade!" Hilary said, unusually loud. A few people glanced at her, including the Marauders, as she had spoken louder than them.
"Er... Hi" Jade said, halting slightly, "Let's go get our timetables...?"
Hilary blinked slightly. "S-Sure" she agreed, climbing to her feet, and passing Jade at a run. She waited impatiently for the Portrait Hole to open, before she bounded away across the corridor, and down the flights of stairs. Jade looked after her in confusion, before flashing a smile at everyone, and following.
"Wait up, Hilary!" She shouted, going at her fastest speed intent to catch up with her. She tripped over Snape, as he suddenly appeared around the corner. "Move it!" she shouted rudely, pushing him into a wall and continuing her run.
He gave her an icy glare, the wind knocked out of him, before he slunk off, silently, and without any more complaints.
Insert Line.
Jade was panting, when she finally reached the Great Hall, to find Hilary digging into some bacon, easily. She was laughing, cheerfully, without any problems. Totally different than she had been a few minutes earlier.
"What's wrong with you?" Jade asked, slipping into a seat beside her, "You- You were acting so strange before... A-And now you're chatting ca-carelessly..." Jade was still panting slightly, from her run across the castle.
"I-I don't know what you're talking about" Hilary answered innocently, "I didn't notice anything strange about my actions..."
"Well... I guess it shouldn't be strange, since you were doing it most of last year" Jade said, frowning.
Hilary was determined not to admit anything. It soon became obvious to Jade, as she stared blankly into her bacon, never once glancing up. The people around were silent, before conversing amongst themselves, and leaving her to eat.
There is something wrong, Jade thought, But-But I wonder what...?
Sorry for the short chapter. Read & Review, etc, etc!
