Chapter Eleven: Boring chapter
Lily was left alone for a minute, trying to keep herself from following the five, but her curiosity and confusion finally got the best of her, and she stumbled after the Marauders and Vanessa swiftly.
"Wait up!" Lily called to Vanessa, who stopped for a moment so that Lily could catch up.
"I thought you didn't want to go with them?" Ness said.
"I'm not sure if I want to come."
"So why don't you go back and decide before you start leaping up after us?" Ness said, rather rudely. She hadn't meant to speak like that, but Lily Evans had always been a bit of a nuisance to her, and at the moment she was getting annoying.
"I'm coming." Lily said with a note of finality in her voice.
"Fine." Ness sighed. She shook off her bad feelings and said, "So what was it like?"
"What was what like?"
"Your kiss."
Lily looked wryly at Ness, who could've sworn that she saw Lily's mouth twitch, then Lily said, "It was the most putrid thing that I've ever tasted." Then she turned red and hurried ahead of the other girl.
Sirius slammed into the room. It was empty, as they'd expected. Tables were piled up upon each other. Chairs were stacked. Dust filled their noses as the marauders filed into the empty classroom, followed by Ness and Lily. James looked up at the extinguished torches on the walls and shivered slightly. This room must not have seemed very welcoming for anyone who'd spent an actual class hour in here.
"Alright." James said lightly. He pulled the time turner out of his pocket and held it out. Sirius immediately took hold of the chain, along with Peter.
Remus hesitated.
"You know what this is going to turn out like." Remus said.
"Yep." James replied, making sure that the invisibility cloak was clasped around his shoulders. The other marauders didn't seem to care in slight that James looked like a disembodied head floating in midair. Ness had already known about his cloak, so she wasn't surprised either. Lily hadn't expected anything other than an invisibility cloak, so she just stood there with her arms crossed and her slim eyebrows pressed together in a frown. James went on, "I know where I was, and I'm going to prove it, now get over here, Remus."
"Isn't time travel dangerous?" Lily muttered. James heard her.
"Of course it is, Evans, why do you think I'm so eager to try it out?" And he gave her a roguish smile that would have set any other girl's heart fluttering.

Two days after James Potter's incident with Lily Evans, Severus was sitting in the library, reading some random book that he'd pulled off of the nearest shelf. The librarian kept glancing up at him, suspiciously, as if he would be daring enough to touch her precious books in the wrong way. But he knew he wouldn't.
Severus had noticed that no one was paying all that much attention to Potter's problems anymore. There was other gossip about. Sure, he'd gotten a bit of a laugh at Black, a while ago, but now it was over. All Severus wanted to do was go to sleep.
So he did. He got about a ten minute nap before the librarian woke him up with a sharp tap on the head, and he sloped out of the library, down the hallway, as unhappy as ever.
How boring was that? Geeze! Everyone at least has to admit that with the cliffhangers there's a bit of excitement. I kept trying to find a place to end this and make it NOT end as a cliffhanger.....*sighs* Cliffhangers all the way after this. Sorry. By the way. I'm fourteen and I am as of now an aunt! My brother's baby was born sometime around noon today, and it's a girl *cheers from the crowd* and they named it--her! I'm not going to get the hang of calling her a 'her' until she starts talking to me--Anozira. It's Arizona, backwards ^_^.
