A Trip To Remember (VERY LONG CHAPPIE) Part 1
The boys and girls separated, making sure that the girls would meet the boys the next morning near the humpbacked (A/N:dunno what it is..is it one-eyed? but you know what im talking about right? the one that leads to honeydukes! )witch's statue. (Although the girl's had no clue why...) The girls were so tired but they still managed to talk before going to bed.
"Hey you guys! Guess what?" Dia said
"What happened?" Gwyn asked groggily, she didn't want to have a conversation.
"I think i know!" Lily squealed
"Ok, Remus is taking me to the ball....as MORE than just friends!" Dia said excitedly
"Wait, wait, wait a second here! what happened between you two in the Great Hall?" Gwyn was now VERY interested.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Dia said secretively
"Come ON Dia! Spill!" Gwyn and Dia screamed. Luckily each Year's dorms were soundproof.
"OK, OK!" Dia told them about everything that happened after Remus and she went to the Great Hall, conveniently leaving out the details of their conversation for lily's sake.
After she finished the other two girls started singing "Remus and Dia sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!..." happy for their friend until Dia hit them with a FOM pillow, starting the largest pillow fight of the century. She said
"Well, wouldn't YOU, Gwyn, want SIRIUS to kiss you? Did he even ASK you to the ball yet?"
"Well, matter of fact, he DID ask me to the ball!" Gwyn shrieked.
"Oh MY GOD Gwyn! We're all going with Marauders! Hey where's Jenn?" Lily asked, very puzzled.
"Don't know, don't care. She's been hanging with those DISGUSTING Slytherin snobs since breakfast. So was Peter. Only he was with the boys.... HEY! You said we're ALL going with Marauders? Who are you going with?" Lily hadn't told Gwyn yet, 'cause her best friend thought that she liked James, which she did, but wasn't sure yet.
"Yeah! I'm going with James 'cause no one else asked me and he is nice." She explained
"Well you haven't been ASKED by anyone else because James would knock their teeth out. And you're going with James 'cause you, LILY ELIZABETH EVANS, like JAMES DEREK POTTER!" Gwyn and Dia chorused. They both thought Lily and James were perfect together, and knew that she wasn't gonna tell that she did. Lily turned deep red.
"Ok, so i like James, a lot. Well, i dunno if he likes me like i like him. So nothing can happen." Lily said sadly
"Well, no, that is so not true! He might even LOVE you lily! you are so thick sometimes! You don't even notice his actions!" Gwyn was so furious with her friend, she needed Lily to believe her.
"What can i do Gwyn? Dia? HELP ME!"
"Ok, ok. Calm down. we'll help you come up with the perfect costume for you to make SURE james likes you for you." Dia stated
"Yup! That we will! We'll have theme costumes! 'cause after all, we are...Hey, we need a name you guys! Like the mauraders only it's us..." Gwyn pondered.
"Ok, how about the Flow'as?" Lily said
"Flow'as?" Dia and Gwyn looked puzzled
"Like flowers only with that american city accent...what was it? o ya! Boston! So it's Flowas! They don't pronounce their r's..." Lily explained
"O! I get it! Like Lily is a flower name. and we're pretty like petite Flowas!" Gwyn said
"kay! so since we have a name, what should our costumes be?" Dia asked
"Well, ok. Since I have red hair, I'll be Rose from Titanic!" Lily squealed. She loved that movie.
"Okay. That's perfect! What should I be?" Dia said. Lily had made Gwyn and she watch it in third year.
Gwyn and Lily studied her, she had the dark hair and the dark-ish eyes.... "Ok! How about Violet from the Series of Unfortunate Events?" Gwyn asked. She and Lily had followed those books since the first train ride to Hogwarts. Dia read a few, Violet was her favorite character.
"Ok! I love her inventions!" Dia beamed. She could relate well to Violet.
"That leaves Gwyn. Ok, how about Snow White? She was always being compared with a flower's grace. And you have it! PLUS, in the Chilean version her name is Blanca Rosa, or white rose!" lily said, knowing her friend's had NO WAY of beating her mind.
"Gwyn! That is so you!" Dia said, wondering where lily got this information.
"That's perfect! I saw a dress shop in Hogmeade that had the perfect dress for 'Blanca Rosa'!"Gwyn was so happy her best friends could always think of something.
"THIS IS GREAT! now all of us can dress up in fancy old clothes!" Lily loved to dress up in anything fancy. she looked great in medieval clothing.
"OK! Let's get some sleep, Flowas! Great name lily! I love it now!"
"Me two! Okay, we have got to meet the boys at the statue tomorrow at 8:00! We're getting breakfast in Hogsmeade! We NEED our beauty sleep!" Gwyn laughed. So did her bffs. Slowly they drifted off to sleep.....
lily pov
"Ugh! What time is it? DIA? GWYN?" I said. i just wanted to sleep for another 7 hours.
"Lils! It's 6:00! We need to find the PERFECT outfit for each of us for Hogmeade!" Gwyn explained to me.
"Well, wake me up lat'a!" I love boston accents, my muggle friend came from there in 2nd grade. I still keep in touch with her. She has the perfect accent!
"NO LILS! NOW!" Dia scolded. She never scolds anyone, but she apparently was very paticular about today.
"OK!OK!" I got out of bed and brushed my teeth. Then i asked them "What are you wearing?"
"Well, I'm wearing a denim knee length full pleat skirt, along with my sleeveless "GOT QUACKS?" shirt. You know, the one with the rubber duck on it?" Gwyn said. She always could match.
"And I'm wearing my red capris, with my faded pink "Dubble Bubble" shirt, my favorite one." Dia also could match perfectly.
"Ok. I'll wear my bottle-green skirt with my white "WITCH WHIMSIC" (A/N: they're a wizard music group i made up....) shirt."
"OMG Lils! That's perfect for a day in Hogsmeade!" Gwyn smiled. She was the one who taught me about fashion.
"OK. We have an hour. Let's change." Dia said
"OK!" We agreed.
We were ready by 7:45 and were on our way.
3rd person
Meanwhile, the Marauders were in their dorm talking about their nights....
"And Gwyn said "NO! I'm not. Of course i'll go with you!" but i got all confused and asked her-" Padfoot said
"Hey Prongs! Wanna know who i'm taking to the ball?"Moony interrupted
"Who, mate? Gryffindor right?"Prongs asked
"Yeah. Guess who?"
"Well, Lily's taken. By me of course. Gwyn we all know is taken by Sirius. Jennette is going with the traitor Peter....I got it! You're going with DIANDRA HONG!"
"MOONY! You didn't tell me you were taking Dia!"Sirius said surprisedly
"Well I didn't think you would care if i took Dia or not! All you think about is Gwyneth Sutherland!" Remus said mockingly
Sirius hits Remus with a pillow.
"That's not the point. The point is we're all going with Gryffindor girls of 7th year. They are supposed to be the most popular in school." James beamed
"Yeah, well we're supposed to be the most popular guys! SO IT'S PERFECT!" Sirius caught on, slowly.
"OK PADFOOT! WHATEVER YOU SAY.... ok moony what's so great about dia?" James said
"She's the best. she knows about everything. I'm surprised but happy she isn't Head Girl."
"Why?"
"Well, if she was, and the head boy and her turned out anything like you and lily...I'd be in a spot of trouble wouldn't i?"
"Not if you were head boy."
"well, ya. but that's not the point!"
"YEAH! the point is that moony has a girlfriend!" Sirius butted in.
"Let's go! We're gonna be late!" Remus said, conveniently changing the subject.
Lily pov
When we got there, the guys didn't show up. I spotted a bit of frayed parchment and grabbed it. It read
Hey girls, (Gwyn.Dia. Lily) tap the statue and say Dissendium. You'll meet us in the Honeydukes cellar.
Sincerely,
The Marauders (except for Peter. The whereabouts of him are not known or cared about)
We all read it together and laughed at the last bit. But i was confused. How would we meet them in the cellar? I was about to voice this thought when
Gwyn said "Hey guys! How are we supposed to get to the cellar from the statue?"
"I know! How about we just try what they say and then go on?" I said
"OK LILS!" Dia agreed
"Yup"
So we followed into the back of the statue until......."AHHHHHHHHH!" James and Sirius screamed, while Remus laughed at our faces which were probably white with horror.
"That was NOT funny Sirius!" Gwyn said
"Yeah, James. We were worried about if we would ever see you again." I said
"I never knew you would care, LILS!" James taunted
"Well, I do. JAMES." i knew what he was saying
"O KAY Then......Do we WANT to know what's going on?" Sirius asked. I laughed.
"No, it's nothing!" I said, trying to hide my smile, which wouldn't go away.
"SO MARAUDERS? Where ARE we?" Dia asked. Gwyn and i were wondering the same thing
"In the cellar of Honeydukes. THis is a secret passageway." Remus said, matter-of-factly.
"No duh Remus! We figured that out. But how?" Gwyn asked
"Well, you tap the statue and say-"
"NO! We mean how was this passage made?" I asked
"No one knows that." James answered. "We're just here 'cause we found it."
"OH!" we Flowas said. it made sense now.
"Yeah. So if we're all clear now can we go to Honeydukes and the Three Broomsticks? I'm STARVING!"
"I see Sirius hasn't changed...." I said sarcastically. Everyone laughed.
"Hey? So what if i like to eat! Food is good!" Sirius stated
"Sure...Sure..." Gwyn said
"Which first? I think we should go to the Three Broomsticks for butterbeer. I'm cold!" I shivered
"That's what you get, little flower, when you wear a mini in 50 degree weather!" James said
"Well, how was i supposed to know? We don't have T.V. that says that it's gonna be warm or cold do we?" I said sarcastically. Gwyn laughed, but the rest looked confusedly at the two of us. I shrugged "Oh nevermind....."
"So are we going to get butterbeer?" Dia asked
"Ok. How about each couple goes to the Three Broomsticks, then wherever for a few hours. then the ladies can do their costume shopping. and we can do ours." James suggested
Everyone agreed.
