A/N: ahh! It's the end of the holiday break!!!! Yikes. I didn't think I was gonna get any reviews for last chapter but I was wrong. Thank you Sarah and Erin!
Reviewa thanks!
Sarahyeah. I think it does just that. But I had to have James not know about it for a while, so he could fairly judge on talent. And not on the fact that she is almost his girlfriend! Thanks a lot for the review.
Erin- I didn't even expect it. It just sort of happened while writing! LoL. Thanks for the review.
Ok. Enough of my rambling.
Chapter 12
Play decisions.
(Really short. But next one will HOPEFULLY be long….)
James and Lily organized a prefect meeting at which to discuss their plans for winter break. Most everyone was staying for what was to be a substantially awesome Christmas at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Lily came out with this idea, "How about we perform a production?"
"Like what?" James asked, "A manufacturing of materialistic possessions that we can conjure in seconds?"
For someone trained in muggle studies before Hogwarts, he was a little slow on the uptake.
"No hon-James!" Lily exclaimed, exasperated, she stopped herself though. From saying something she would regret in front of 5th and 6th years, "A PLAY! Like, you know, SHAKESPEARE!"
"OH! Ok, which one?" James exclaimed.
"I was thinking a sort of Pyramus and Thisby like one, only with better actors to exaggerate the part more. Like Sirius! SO people will be bound to laugh."
"HA HA HA! Lily! That's perfect; give Padfoot a reason to admire himself!" James said
"That's true. Oh well! He's good at it! It's agreed then?"
"I think it's a great idea! But what play?" Pushpa Aroopa asked excitedly (A/N: the Patil twins' mother. She's in Ravenclaw.)
"Well I dunno! Probably a Shakespeare comedy. For laughs." Lily repeated. (A/N: they know who the hell Shakespeare is because in history of magic he was mentioned as a squib. And according to them, he's still alive because ol' Nick Flamel was kind enough to provide him with some sorcerer's stone.)
"Okay. So it's agreed. We will perform one of the great Shakespeare plays. Either Midsummer…, As You Like It, or Much Ado About Nothing."
"Let's vote!" Lily said brightly.
Meanwhile, Gwyn and Sirius were having a little outing to Hogsmeade. They went and got a few too many butterbeers if you catch my drift and ended up quite drunk. Gwyn was slurring and swaying, and Sirius was saying things he never meant to say. "Siri, I love you. God, why are we here?"
"Really, Gwyn I don't feel that way about you. I am just going out with you so Prongs would be happy."
Gwyn was too drunk to take in the words. They made it back to the castle, barely. And when they got to Gryffindor tower, they both passed out on the large couch together. Nearby, Remus and Dia were nuzzled close together on a couch that looked made for one. They stirred, "Rem, I love you."
"Dia, I love you too. And they kissed but they noticed there were more than two people in the common room.
"Oh my. Gwyn! Sirius! What did they do? Rem, we need to check them."
"Don't worry. Dia, I know a spell that should wake them up. Ennervate!"
Gwyn and Sirius got up slowly. Both immediately put their hands to their heads. They looked in pain. "Uh oh. I think lil miss I love Sirius got herself a hangover!" Dia said, laughing, mysteriously. One would think how she knew.
"My dad gets them around New year's each year." She said simply.
"Padfoot, Prongs and Lily are at a prefect meeting. So, I'll drag you alone back upstairs. You ok?" Remus tried getting Sirius back from cloud Gwyn, at least that's what he thought he was doing.
"Locomotor mortis!" Remus chanted under his breath. "Hey!" Was all Sirius could get out until he dozed off again.
"OK. GWYN!" Dia screamed. "WAKE UP!"
"Allright, I am up! I'm up!"
"Do you remember what you did to get yourself zonked?"
"I….uh….O! I was at Hogsmeade!"
Dia ignored the abnormality of going to Hogsmeade on a nonplanned trip but went on, "With Sirius?"
"Yeah! We went to…."
"The Three Broomsticks?" Dia was getting tired of playing "Guess What?" with Gwyn. So she just pulled out a little thing she liked to call "Vial of Secrets" or else known as Veritaserum, even if you were zonked, you could tell anyone what happened.
"Gwyn, just drink this. It will make you better."
Gwyn trusted Dia so she took the vial and had two sips, then she dropped it, but Dia caught it because she needed that thing. It kept her friendships true.
"OK. Gwyneth Sutherland. What happened tonight?"
A/N: CLIFFY! God. This was long and is probably gonna mess up siri and gwyn's relationship. But they will work it out. I hope. But if you review, you'll find out what happens faster! K. so review!
