Chapter Five: That Was Mean
The next day James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter were sitting under the tree by the lake. It was a clear November afternoon and the Marauders decided to spend it out of doors. It was a Friday and the classes for the day were over.
Lily, Kyleigh, Karmatha and Deanna were walking towards the Entrance Hall.
"Ok I have this idea. Since tomorrow is a Hogsmeade weekend I just KNOW Potter is going to ask me." Kyleigh and Karmatha snickered. Lily continued ignoring them, "So I'm going to ask the one person James would hate for me to go out with. That's where you come in Kyleigh."
"Me? Why do I have to be in your evil plan to break Potter's heart into so many more pieces?"
"Because you know this boy really well…"
"Huh? Have I snogged him before?" Kyleigh said looking at Lily,
"I should hope not! He's your captain."
"WOOD?" Kyleigh said stopping, Lily nodded. "Oh you are evil." Kyleigh said crossing her arms,
"Everyone knows Wood is the sixth year version of James." Karmatha said,
"Exactly." Lily said. Kyleigh looked thoughtful for a moment and grinned.
"Ok." Kyleigh pushed open the Entrance door and made her way out to the grounds. "I'll be back. OY WOOD!" Kyleigh said running over to him.
"Hello Ky, what do you want?" He said turning away from his friends. "Are you going to Hogsmeade with anyone tomorrow?"
"I know you think I'm exceedingly gorgeous by your taken." Wood pointed out,
"Not me you prat. Lily. She wants to go to Hogsmeade with you."
"Oh, Lily…Lily Evans the hot fifth year, the one James is obsessed with?"
"Yea, that Lily Evans." Kyleigh said rolling her eyes,
"Hey! Your that beater that like made out for seven minutes on the Quidditch pitch!" One of Wood's friends said pointing at her. Kyleigh flung her hair over her shoulder,
"Yes I am. I'm pro." She grinned.
"You can practise with me anytime,"
"No thanks. I have Sirius." She turned back to Wood, "So?"
"Sure." Wood said shaking his head yes.
"Great." Kyleigh said holding out her hand, Wood grabbed her wrist looking for any tricks before shaking it, "Thank you for doing business." Kyleigh turned and walked away. Lily was standing waiting for her response.
"I have a reputation!" Kyleigh said excitedly.
"Fascinating, what did he say?"
"Oh, yes." Kyleigh said walking over to where Karmatha sat with Remus. Followed by Lily. She sat down in Sirius's lap,
"We have a reputation." She said turning to look at him,
"Really?"
"Yeah I'm the beater that made out for seven minutes on the Quidditch Pitch!"
"Cool," He said wrapping his arms around her waist. She leaned against him,
"You going with anyone tomorrow."
"You mean like besides you? Yeah, I have a line up you're at two if that's okay."
"Sirius!" Kyleigh hit him, laughing. "You, two going together?" She said looking at Remus and Karmatha. They both nodded. James's face lit up,
"Speaking of dates, OY! Evans you wanna go to Hogsmeade with me?"
"I'd love to James…"
"Great! She said yes you guys!" James said turning to face Sirius and Remus,
"But I can't" Lily finished his face dropped,
"Why?"
"I'm going with Robert."
"Robert? Robert…Robert…do I know a Robert?" James said looking at Sirius,
"Robert Wood?" He said helpfully.
"ROBERT WOOD?" James yelled looking back at Lily. She nodded.
"Wonderful snogger I heard." Lily grinned.
"Wonderful – snogger? If you want a good kisser I'm right here!" He said pointing to himself.
"I heard he's better." She said simply sitting down next to Sirius and Kyleigh. James looked on the verge of tears,
"That - was – mean." He said walking away. As James was leaving, Regulus walked over followed by his usual crowd.
"Hello Black." He said coldly, Sirius cocked an eyebrow,
"You do realize you're a Black too right?" Regulus scoffed,
"Fine, well hello blood-traitor." Kyleigh suppressed a snicker. "Oh and I suppose you're a blood traitor as well."
"Do you smell something foul Sirius?" Kyleigh said facing Sirius,
"Insolent little-" Lucius pushed forward from the crowd wielding his wand out of his cloak.
"What are you going to do? Hex me?" Kyleigh said standing.
"As a matter of fact I was." Sirius stood up as well,
"I want to see you try." After that the rest of them stood.
"You want to fight us?" A high pitch voice sounded, which could only be Bellatrix's. Lily did the math in her head, 11 Slytherins, five seventh years that could only be death eaters, two sixth years' junior death eaters probably, two fifth years such as themselves, training to be death eaters, and two fourth years not yet prepared to be death eaters, honestly they didn't stand a chance. "Your outnumbered," Bellatrix said,
"We could still take you," Remus said pulling out his wand.
"Leave us alone." Lily said,
"How dare you talk to us you filthy little mudblood." Snape said venomously. Lily shook her head,
"Leave us alone."
"Sectumsempra." Snape said pulling out his wand pointing it at Lily. She screamed as invisible slashes gashed her face and chest. James who was just entering the Entrance Hall heard her screams and came running. Lily was on the ground blood pouring from her wounds.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" Kyleigh screamed running over to Lily she held the other girl in her arms.
"Levicorpus" Avery said pointing his wand at Kyleigh.
"Ahh!" She said as she was sent hanging upside down. Frantically trying to hold her skirt up.
"Petrificus Totalis!" James yelled sending Snape into a full body bind.
"Levicorpus" Remus said sending Avery upside down while Sirius was duelling his brother. Karmatha ducked beneath spells and made her way to Lily,
"Ferula" She whispered as she covered up Lily's wounds. Slinging Lily over her back she started to run towards the castle,
"Petrificus Totalis" Narcissa's spell hit Karmatha and she and Lily dropped back to the ground,
"SOMEONE GET ME DOWN!" Kyleigh screamed as another spell flew very close to her,
"Crucio" Malfoy successfully sent his spell affectedly stopping Kyleigh's word replacing them with screams.
"Petrificus Totalis" Sirius put his brother in a body bind and ran over to Lucius punching him in the mouth. Peter wasn't doing anything he stood watching as all his 'friends' fell one by one the Slytherins seemed to have more power being evil.
"Crucio" Crabbe's spell, aiming for Remus, hit Peter instead and he was writhing on the ground screaming.
"Petrificus Totalis" Crabbe fell to the ground. When the Crucio wore off on Kyleigh she held out her hand,
"Accio wand." Her wand flew into her hand. Forgetting all about the fact her underwear was showing she started attacking the Slytherins,
"Petrificus Totalis." She got Narcissa down. Bellatrix turned to Kyleigh
"Crucio." She said Kyleigh was sent screaming again. James turned to Bellatrix; he'd let Sirius handle her.
"Petrificus Totalis" It hit Crabbe and he fell down. He ran over to Karmatha,
"Finite Incantatem" He said Karmatha stood up, "You take Lily to the hospital wing, and get Dumbledore." Karmatha picked Lily up again and ran to the school. Sirius was on the ground still muggle duelling him, he figured it was better to use his fists, grabbing his wand he pointed it at Lucius's throat.
"Petrificus Totalis." Lucius went rigid. With Lucius down the other Slytherins felt they had no chance gathering up the petrified they ran. Sirius turned to Kyleigh still hanging limply in mid air,
"Can someone get me down?" She said quietly. Sirius walked over and held one of her hands as he muttered,
"Finite Incantatem" He caught her and set her on the ground. Deanna was helping Peter. James was walking swiftly to the school and Remus was nursing a cut on his arm where Bellatrix had scratched him. Kyleigh sank to the ground shaking uncontrollably. Sirius sat down beside her and put his arm around her, she leaned against his body fighting the urge to cry.
"We're going up the Hospital Wing to see Lily are you guys coming?" Deanna asked, Remus nodded. Sirius looked at Kyleigh,
"I don't think I can walk that far…" She said quietly.
"I'll help you." He stood up and held out his hand to her. She grabbed it and stood up, wrapping her arm around his waist they walked towards the school. Everyone was quiet and didn't say anything. As they entered the Hospital Wing there was Lily sitting on the bed fully healed. Mme Pomfrey bustled around her doing all sorts of things.
"How is she?" James asked,
"She's fine, she lost a lot of blood but she'll stay the night and tomorrow she will be fine to go to Hogsmeade." She responded. "You can say Hello but then I insist you leave she's been through a horrible ordeal and she needs her rest." Mme Pomfrey hurried off to her office and everyone crowded around Lily. Everybody was asking around the same question,
"Are you okay?"
"They fight really dirty those Slytherins do." Sirius said
"They used three unforgivable curses." Remus whispered to Lily.
"Bloody Hell! Who did they hit?"
"Peter took the one aimed at me and Kyleigh took the other two."
"Kyleigh!" Lily turned to face her best friend hanging limply onto Sirius, "Are you all right?" Kyleigh manage a nod. "Does anyone know what spell I got hit with?"
"Some kind of made of spell…that's really effective." Karmatha said. Lily sighed,
"I look hideous now, my face is all scarred."
"You don't look hideous." James whispered quietly. Lily ignored him,
"You guys should go, I'm tired." Everyone nodded and started to clear out. Back at the common room everyone made his or her way in. James took the chair by the fire, Sirius sat down and pulled Kyleigh next to him, who was still shaking. Remus sat down and had Karmatha sit next to him, Deanna sat in between the two couples and Peter took the other chair. Nobody said anything they just sat there. After dinner the common room was crowded and soon there was no one there.
"We should go up to bed." Remus said quietly being first to break the silence since they got back. Everyone nodded and headed up to their respectful dormitories.
