(Lyrics to the song we wrote last night)
The
strands in your eyes
That color them wonderful
Stop me and
steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains
Thrust towards the
sky
Never revealing their depth
Tell me that we belong
together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be
captivated,
I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows
Of heartache that hang from above
I'll be your cryin'
shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm
older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
Rain falls
angry on the tin roof
As I lie awake in my bed
You're my
survival
You're my living proof
My love is alive and not
dead
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the
trappings of love
I'll be captivated
I'll hang from your
lips
Instead of the gallows
Of heartache that hang from
above
I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love
suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan
of your life
I've dropped out
Burned up
Fought my way
back from the dead
Tuned in
Turned on
Remembered the things
you said
I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love
suicideI'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of
your life
I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love
suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan
of you life
(11:09 in the morning -- library, just out of Arithmancy)
Hey it's Lils again! Can you believe that one week ago today was Halloween? So much has happened in just one week, imagine what is to happen this year? Next year? In ten years! I could be married, have children, own a farm in northern Scotland. I could raise sheep and harvest peat. Little red-haired children would be climbing trees and singing while May look-a-likes play the piano in forte.
May and I might even get to America and start up our own band. Or see the Grand Canyon or canoe through Canada, water ski in lake Michigan or even hit the beaches of Hawaii...
I'll be twenty-six almost twenty-seven. I'm excited. Wow, sorry, my thoughts are always so random. Hopefully it's a nice break to just be able to laugh out loud in awe of my stupidity. For all I know, I might drop dead when I walk into the dinning hall tonight from choking on a carrot—that's me, I'm all about the silver lining...
We worked and worked on this song last night. It just hit me while I was writing Ben again. That's me, I just hum and sometimes we make a song out of it. Well, we've got the lyrics... I think. We're still adjusting the musical part. I swear, we didn't get back into our dorm room until maybe three or four in the morning. Once a wave of music flows through us, we can't be stopped. But don't worry we didn't go from the auditorium straight to bed. We went and grabbed a bite to eat.

"Lily, either skip or gallop, your butchering the pride of the stag!" A pink cheeked May whispered while galloping down the hall. Lily grinned insanely at May before coming to a decision to skip the rest of the way to the kitchens.
"You know, May. How do you know that Stags won't look up to me and decide that galloping and skipping go hand in hand. I might have even started a new Stag-trend!" Lily laughed back at May. They hadn't felt this much peace for the last few days. The halls were abandoned, as they should be at midnight. The air was chilly in the hall, but the laughing girls took no notice.
They had hidden in the auditorium when Filch checked it and turned off the torches. They felt like rebels, the Marauders' mind skills had really gotten to them. They were out past curfew and enjoying themselves immensely. In fact, they were headed to the kitchens to grab a long snack before making their treck back to their dorm.
"Lily, I think, oh I think I'm beginning to envy you! All the stags love you! I must conform to your hypocritical style! Oh dear, help me!" May laughed holding her hands to her head in pretend fear.
Lily shoved her and May retaliated with a quick pull to Lily's hair before sprinting down the hall that led to the kitchens with Lily not but a foot behind her.
"Delfin, you're gonna regret that!" Lily shouted as she ran into the kitchen. She barely got a foot in when she was hit straight in the face with what looked like dung but in actuality (and to Lily's great thankfulness) was chocolate pudding.
"Well, that's just not fair! Look at you! You had two attempts at my life before I could get back at you! Not fair!" and that's when Lily took off to tackle May to the ground and rub some chocolate pudding and flour into May's curly haired head and smooth face. The two girls finally dropped into bed that Thursday night not a few minutes before the sun decided to make it's entry.
12:14 pm Friday
I'm sitting here, between May and Remus, across from Sirius, Peter and James, eating lunch... well, sorta—I'm hunched over writing this, leaving my cheese and broccoli soup to get cold and my applesauce to set and begin to run.
May is laughing hysterically at what Sirius just said—I only caught the tail end. Something about his trip to Australia with James this summer and Sirius getting hit on by a gay guy. Sirius has May in a head lock now because she's laughing 'at his expense'. It's hilarious.
Now James is egging Sirius on about how he wasn't hit on...
"You weren't hit on, mate, cuz they didn't see any potentially hot things about you... whereas I'm hot enough I attract both sexes..." wow. killer burnage from Sirius.
"Good luck with that Padfoot." James just said. I think he's blushing, aw, I just have to tease him!
Now it's one o'clock in the afternoon and we're still in the Great Hall, just talking up a storm. I had to eat my soup before it got cold. The guys are devising a new prank, while May and I are talking about what she wants for her birthday.
So far she's told me she wants us to take another secret trip into the Forbidden Forest and she wants us to record some of our songs in a muggle recording studio. That's just like May, she never actually says that she wants a Weird Al CD (insane muggle singer) or a blueberry revolving chapstick chain or a new broomstick made of maple and willow branches that flies faster than a speeding bullet.
Anywho, I think May and I are gonna leave now. We still have another three hours before potions starts. It's raining outside, but we might get a little adventurous. You know May and me, we can never be inside for more than a few hours before we need to breathe that fresh, November air. We need to watch the leaves fall gently to the ground expecting a quick hand to pluck them out of the stormy gray sky and cherish them forever. Or watch the lake ripple in the wind as the rain plop plops on the turbulent surface...
(Omniscient POV)
"What should weeeee ahhhhhhh doooo? I'm dead tired, but I'm sure a snickers and a can of root beer could easily ahhhhh fix that." May said while trying to stifle a yawn that she had been fighting all morning. She glanced over to look at her small friend. Lily's head was just barely resting on May's shoulder. May couldn't see Lily's laughing emerald eyes because they were closed. Lily looked to be sleeping. May put her arm around Lily and lead her the rest of the way to the door before leaving her to sleep until Potions. May did grab a snickers and a root beer before leaving the sleeping red head.
(Lily POV)
Unfortunately I just had to fall asleep before we could do anything fun. And May so kindly put me to bed like a little girl. Well, we just got out of potions. That was sure fun! I never want to go back again! Please don't make me! Alright, since I so stupidly wasted a Friday afternoon by sleeping, I'll write down what May is saying because she is now going to tell you what she did—
I put you to bed then I grabbed food and read.
You read?
Yes I read, I was at a really good part! Don't make fun of me, Lily, you like to read too!
Fine, fine, geeze, your gonna make me curl up in a fetal position and think about pancakes!
Lily! What are you talking about? Ya know, pancakes sound really good! Too bad dinners in forty minutes.
Yeah, pancakes with yummy cherries and strawberries and powdered sugar... and m&ms and milk duds and tootsie rolls and crispy apple slices and umm...FRENCH FRIES SOUND REALLY REALLY GOOD!
French Fries, didn't we have those with Ben?
Yup!
Speaking of Ben... has he written you back yet?
Not yet. Hey May! You're supposed to be telling me about your afternoon!
Oh! Right! Well...
(Omniscient POV)
The rain splattered against the windows with such ferocity that May wasn't sure if they would sustain the pressure. She turned back to her book and situated herself further into the dark scarlet chair that was situated in front of the fireplace. Her legs were pinned under her and her dainty piano hand held up her head as her calm, sleep deprived eyes scanned page after page creating a vivid story.
Her loose, curly hair fell over her shoulder and occasionally into her smooth face. By her foot was a can of root beer and a snickers bar half eaten. In between May and the fire sat two of her best friends, Sirius and Remus. They were playing their second game of wizard's chess. Remus had won the first game. ("Padfoot, thanks! That was a smooth move!" May then watched as Sirius's knight was clubbed over the head and then beaten to shambles). James was lying on the couch flicking his wand here and there muttering incantations. In the direction of his wand movements were several objects floating in mid air, changing color, size, and appearance.
May wasn't sure if they began as pillows, books, a flower vase, or someone's shoe. Peter was sitting on a loveseat, buried under pastries. He had just recently returned from the Great Hall. And Lily, of course, was asleep in her bed. May wasn't sure, but it looked as if James kept glancing at the girl's staircase.
"Why do you do that to me? Moony! It's perfectly natural to lose one game in your entire life!" Sirius groaned as his queen was in the process of being clobbered.
"James! Why did you put a cherry bomb in the toilet? It didn't smell like cherries at all!" Peter complained.
"Didn't we already tell you this a thousand times Wormtail! Because Snivellus and some other Slytherins were in there. We told you not to go in, but do you ever listen?" James answered.
"No." Sirius grunted before slamming his head down on the table as he watched his king surrender.
"I'm hungry."
"Blimey, is that all you think about Pete?" Remus looked up grinning after having won his game.
"Then eat, you have at least enough food to feed Argentina in your frickin' lap Wormtail." James looked up from his spells. Just then there was a noise on the girls' staircase. James' head whipped around and he looked on with a sideways grin. But his grin didn't stay on for long, because the petite red head wasn't the one making the sounds. And it couldn't have been because it sounded a herd of Hippogrifs.
"Hey doll face, looking hot." Geminey's sugary voice slipped through the crowd of people talking in the common room. Sirius' eyes almost bulged out of his head when he saw her. Sure it was early November, but that didn't seem to stop the powerpuff girls. Geminey was in a super short mini skirt and a mid-drift halter top. Her face was caked in manufactured crap.
Siena wasn't much better. She was styling a slutty dress that had a slit that revealed a little too much for everyone's liking. Her dress was made of what looked to be zebra skin and she was wearing fishnet stockings and hooker boots. Her face too, was covered in make-up, not to mention an evil smile. Geminey went over to her victim and sat in Sirius' lap, petting the side of his face. It must have lasted two seconds before she was thrown to the ground in disgust. May looked at Sirius, his face was turning red, but that didn't seem to hinder Geminey.
"Honey bear, what's wrong?" Geminey didn't need to say another word, because Sirius had lost it.
"What the heck do you think your doing you slut? Don't ever touch me again!" With that, Sirius quickly grabbed May's arm and together they left the common room.
James, on the other hand wasn't fairing too well. He was receiving disgusting gestures and mouthed words. He tried to ignore it by glancing over Siena's head at the girls staircase, just hoping Lily would waltz down. No such luck. Before Siena could even reach James, he had bolted up the boys' dorm fearing for his life. That left a very unhappy Siena. She diverted her attention to someone else, someone she hoped would make James jealous. Remus. Remus, being the brains, quickly realized it and too dashed up and out of the intoxicated room, leaving Peter to his sweets. Siena wound up laying in Pete's lap, trying to seduce him ("How about an afternoon of make out fun?" :giggle:).
May couldn't stand Geminey and Siena, who did they think they were? They infuriated her. Sirius had his arm over her shoulders, she looked at him sideways. Did he do that as a show? Or was he really truthful in hating Geminey? May bit her lip and pushed the first thought away. Sirius's anger had been real. She smile up at him as they walked along the castle, chatting and making jokes with the portraits on the walls.
"Now that I've wasted my time explaining to you the principles of— Mr. Black why in Merilin's name are you disrupting my class again? Ten Points from Gryffindor!"
"But Professor, I was only-"
"No one said they wanted to hear your cursed voice child! Sit!" Sirius dropped back in his seat and shared a look with James.
"Must be menopause." Sirius sneered and sent a death glare to the head of Slytherin, also known as the cruel Potions master, Professor Snood.
"What a grouser." May whispered to Lily while they unpacked their supplies to make the gillyweed extension potion.
"Someone ought to teach him a lesson. Where does he get the idea that Sirius is being disruptive when he raises his hand to ask one little question?" May continued. Lily thought it was so cute how she stuck up for him. And it was true. Snood was a real jerk. She'd love to hear what Ben thought of him. He was always one to have an embellished vocabulary. Lily laughed out loud at the thought of him. Unfortunately Snood heard her.
"And what is so funny Miss Evans? Again to critize the works of real wizards and witches?" Lily looked up at him dumbstruck. Did he just imply that she wasn't good enough to be in his class?
"What are you on about Professor? She just laughed. Is that outlawed in your classroom too?" James sneered not at all in a nice, student-ly manner. Lily glanced back at him and shook her head 'no', causing her French braid to sway.
"Mr. Potter, we will not further this conversation. You will see me after class. That is the end of it!" Snood added as he saw James open his mouth once more. Lily bit her lip and mouthed a thanks before turning back around to chop up her squid liver.
"You think he ever stops breathing flames, he's so... I hope a Hippogriff decides to eat him..." May continued under her breath.
"Ya know, he's so screwed up, I actually think crop circles pale in comparison." Lily whispered back. May smiled and shook her.
"You said it, chica."
(Lily POV)
Well, It's extremely late. We had a rescheduled quidditch practice tonight. Flying for three hours. But at least I got to play right? Right! Our next game in on Saturday in three weeks. I won't be able to play but I can root for the team all I want!
I'm exhausted. May's already asleep. Even though I had a nap, I'm still tired. Good thing tomorrow is Saturday. I've had enough of these late nights.
Hugs,
Your small red head who wants to play mud soccer and eat chocolate ice cream while flying upside down doing a loop-de-loop,
Lily
