The cold wind slapped lily's cheeks. Hot tears left her eyes, shimmering down her pale cheeks.
'I hate him… I hate James potter!' lily screamed to no one.
'Lily, I know you don't hate James. He didn't mean it!' Annabelle Lumbers said soothingly to lily patting her shoulders lightly.
'Why did he do that? What wrong did I do to deserve this?' lily sobbed into her hands. Annabelle stood there helplessly. There was nothing she could do.
'Lily! Ann! -'Melody Potter ran frantically in search of her two best friends. 'Oh my goodness! What happened to the two of you? It's so cold here, come on, let's go in. I don't want my friends to turn into ice do I?'
Slowly, the three girls hovered back to the common room. Melody gave the people in the common room her infamous glare and everyone scampered back to their rooms.
'Here lily, sit.' Melody motioned to lily to sit down by the fire.
'Hush lily, its okay. Potters are all prats. Just don't care about him.' Annabelle said
'Hey! I'm a potter okay! Lily, I am so sorry bout wad James did to you. If it makes you feel any better, I was not told about this and I am really sorry I could not do anything to help.' Melody said in a low tone.
'It's not your fault Mel, though you are a potter, I know you are not James. Youre not a prat like him!' lily whispered and broke into tears again.
A month ago, something strange happened in Hogwarts. The James potter actually asked lily Evans out! That created a really big 'who ha' in the school. Everyone knew who James potter was. Rich and handsome. The dream of every single girl in school. Lily was not an exception. Exception of melody who was his sister, of course.
The marauders. That's what James and his group of friends call themselves. That group consist s of four members. They were considerably the most popular guys in Hogwarts due to their looks and whatever you can think off. They beat almost every other guy in Hogwarts.
James potter was the leader. In charge of carrying out the pranks and making sure it goes well. His well known partner in crime, Sirius Black, loyal and always there to lend a helping hand to James. The two of them were well known for their flirtatious character and womanizing ways. Still, every girl wanted them. In terms of looks and character, they were more or less the same. They could even join each others sentences!
Of course, not forgetting Remus Lupin. He was the rational one in the group. Mastermind of all the marauders pranks. He's the one that ensures nothing goes wrong while the plan is being carried out. No promises of course. Had his share of girls and dated a few in his third and fourth year. But he only had eyes for one. That girl was Melody. They started dating in their fifth year and till now; they're still going on strong. Following the group was Peter Pettigrew. He was the coward of the group. Many wonder why he is even friends with the marauders.
'Now now Lily, don't cry. James really ain't worth your tears.' Melody consoled her best friend.
'Yep! I agree with this potter here! James is not worth a single tear of any girl in this school! Especially not yours!' Annabelle said in a huffed tone.
Melody potter. Everyone in Hogwarts knew who Melody potter was. The infamous twin of James potter and the unregistered member of the marauders. They would look exactly similar if they were of the same sex. The both of them shared their father's black hair. Just that James got the exact replica. Melody was much luckier. Inherited her mother's straight hair. They both had sapphire blue eyes just like their father and high cheek bones like their mother. They shared their thoughts feelings everything. In other words, they ere just inseparable.
Lily was not exactly what you would call a beauty at first look. You have to really stare and observe her before you can see her beauty. That beauty is much prettier than anyone else's. Annabelle was well built as she plays quitditch. Her striking amethyst eyes couldn't be missed anywhere in the school.
These three girls were much sort after. Especially Melody. Almost everyone wants her. Unfortunately she has given her heart to Remus already. Boys who were after Lily were the nerdy kind. Lily did date but never the popular guys. As there were other girls who could give more compared to her. Annabelle was just… average. And to add. She hates Black with passion.
'It's late. Come on lils lets go to bed. Everything would be better tomorrow.' Annabelle shushed her friend. Lily nodded dumbly and followed us up to the dormitories.
The next morning, Melody walked alone into the great hall for her breakfast. Lily didn't want to go to the hall and thus Annabelle accompanied her. The first thing she did upon stepping into the hall was to find her dear brother. James.
'JAMES POTTER!' Melody shouted upon finding her brother with his friends. Slammed her hands onto the Gryffindor table, sat down beside Remus and glared hardat James. The four boys cringed upon seeing Melody so angry. Melody was not to be tempered with while she is angry.
'Morning hon.' Remus said breaking the silence and giving her a kiss on her cheeks.
'Morning Remus.' Melody greeted sostiffly causing Remus to do a double take. 'James potter. How could you?' she asked in a incredulous tone.
'How could I what?' James asked with a confused expression.
'WHAT? YOU HAVE THE CHEEK TO SAY WHAT? I'm utterly disgusted with you James! Look at what you have done to Lily!' Melody hissed the last part.
Before James could even answer, Melody shook her head in disappointment.
'Enough. I don't want to hear anything from you now. You owe me an apology potter. And,' turning her head sharply to Remus, 'I cant believe you let that happen!' with that, Melody stormed out of the great hall.
'Great. Just great. Look at what you have gotten me into.' Remus murmured, took his books and ran after Melody.
'We're in deep shit aren't we? Sirius?' James asked softly. He hasn't exactly dissolved the information which came screaming from Melody.
'Ya. We are. Come on. We have to apologise, before Mel ignores us forever.' Sirius said standing up slowly. Melody was the only girl who had the authority to yell at them like that without getting jinxed.
Dragging her feet slowly, Lily walked out of the dungeons. She just had potions there. Apparently, Professor Shelby ain't giving her much of a good life. Professor Shelby hated Lily. No one who took her advance potions class was able to score above an 'E' for their grade. All except James and Lily. At least, that's what students of Hogwarts think.
'Lily! Hey wait up!'
Lily fastens her steps. Knowing very well who that voice belongs too. Someone whom she doesn't want to exactly bump into just yet. Someone none other than James potter. Unfortunately, she forgot that James was a quitditch player and he has speed.
'Hey. Lily… stop… stop!' James snapped and pulled her arm.
'Ouch! That hurts! Let go!' Lily tried pulling away from James.
'If you're willing to stay still and listen to me, I will release you. Please Lily.' James pleaded. He needed to apologise. He needed to get Melody to talk to him again. In other words, he cant live without his twin.
'What do you want?' Lily snapped. Turning her head sharply to look at him.
Looking in Lily's eyes, James can't help but feel guilty.
'Look Lily, I'm sorry. Really sorry. I really didn-'
'Stop James. Stop. I had enough of this and I don't want anymore of it. I have suffered enough and I don't want to hear anymore of your nonsense!' Lily cut in. with that, she turned and walked away from him.
James couldn't let this happen. He needed to be forgiven or he will not have any peace with Melody.
'Look lils-'
'Don't. Call. Me. Lils. It's Evans to you.' Lily hissed pointing her finger right in James's face.
'Whoa whoa! I'm just trying to apologise! Please Lily. Forgive me! I will do whatever you want me too. How bout that?' James pleaded putting on his best puppy eyes.
Just like any other girl, Lily couldn't resist James's puppy eyes and gave in.
'Fine! You promised to do whatever I wanted you to!' Lily reminded warningly.
'Anything lils. Anything! Now, shall we proceed to our next class?' James said charmingly, offering his hand to her.
Lily colored slightly but nonetheless accepted it.
'Sure.' Lily smiled.
'Me-lo-dy' Sirius called out in a sing song tone.
'What do you want black?' Melody snapped.
'Come on. Stop being so cold towards us. Don't you agree Ann?' Sirius asked putting on his best smile.
'Shut it black. It doesn't work.' Annabelle murmured.
'Well, why not? Come on! Admit you like me!' Sirius joked.
Annabelle slammed her book shut and glared hard at Sirius. 'You know something black? You really are a prat! Forget it! I'm going up to read!' with that, Annabelle sniffed and stalked up to the dorms.
'Opps. I did it again didn't I?' Sirius asked sheepishly
'Yes Sirius puppy. You did it again.' Melody rolled her eyes, closed her book and walked up the dorm as well. That was not before she gave Remus a glare.
'Don't look at me! I can't help you with anything.' Lily said shaking her head. Slowly, she walked towards Remus and sat down at the chair opposite her.
'What happened?' Lily enquired.
'What do you mean?' Remus said quietly.
'You know perfectly well what I am indicating at Remus. What happened between the two of you… maybe I can help.' Lily assured lightly.
Remus shook his head. 'She was being unreasonable! I was just doing my part as a friend! I know I should tell her about James's plan. But still. I have to help keep the secret. I am their friend after all!'
'You mean the both of you quarreled because of me?' Lily asked. Remus nodded slowly. 'Oh my god! I'm so sorry Remus. Really! I dint expect her to squabble with you just because of me. Really sorry!'
'nah. It's not your fault. Goodnight.' With that, Remus dragged his feet up the boys dorm. Lily felt so guilty. It was all because of her! If she wasn't so upset with James, Melody wouldn't fight with Remus!
I have to clear this mess.
'Mmm… morning lils. What's up?' Melody asked. She woke up to a Lily sitting at the end of her bed starring into space. 'Its Sunday remember? No school.' Melody groaned and fell back into bed.
'Mel, wake up. Wake up!' Lily said shaking Melody by her legs. Giving in to the persistent Lily, Melody had no choice but to wake up.
'What is it?' Melody asked half sleeping.
'Remus-'
'Forget it. I'm back to sleep.' Melody shooed Lily away not wanting to hear more.
'Argh!' Lily sighed. Pulling her back up sitting facing lily. 'Look. It's not Remus's fault! You can't stay angry with him forever!'
'I know lils. I know.' Melody said guiltily. 'I feel horrible now…' she sniffled softly.
'It's alright Mel. Remus will forgive you. Just go and reconcile with him. He is feeling horrible too. Not to mention there's a game later.' Lily shushed.
Nodding her head slowly, Melody stood up and walked towards the bathroom to freshen up her.
Mission accomplished Evans. Great job!
'Remus?' Melody whispered softly upon entering the boys dorm. Looking around she found no one around. Sitting down on Remus's bed, she started talking aloud to herself.
'What if remmy won't forgive me? What will I do? Would I be able to survive without him by my side? I don't think I can…' with that, tears emerged from her eyes. 'You are such a fool Melody potter. Such a fool!' she scolded herself.
From inside the toilet, Remus heard everything. In fact he was in the toilet practicing how to apologise to Melody later. After hearing what Melody had just said to herself, he can't help but smirk.
Slowly, he walked out of the bathroom. Glad to see that Melody was facing the other side of the room. He crept quietly behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
'Eek!' Melody let out a short scream and turned her heads sharply to see who was the intruder and with her hands ready to slap him.
'Whoa Mel.. Its just me…' Remus said putting up both his hands in defence.
'Remus! I… I…' Melody stammered
'Shhh… its alright hon. Its alright.' Remus whispered to her smiling.
'Aww Remus!' Melody cried and started bawling her eyes out in his arms. 'I'm so sorry… I really didn't mean what I said to you yesterday. I was just being a fool, I'm mean. I'm dumb I'm-'
'Melody potter! You're babbling!' Remus said with a amused expression on his face. Immediately Melody stopped.
'Shut it remmy.' Melody said playfully hitting his chest.
'Oww. That hurts.' Remus rubbed his chest with a sad look. 'You know hon? You could make me feel all better kissing me on the lips right here.' Remus hinted, indicating to his lips.
'As you wish sir.' Melody then slowly closed the gap between them. And whispering through mummers, 'as you wish.'
