Chapter 3:
Lily's Fate
Phase 1
"I
hope that you realise that we should all be put in padded, locked
rooms somewhere safe with big strong men to keep us from hurting
ourselves."
"Shut
up, Moony. I'm trying to work here, "James muttered absently.
"We
are the big strong men."
"Yea.
Right Sirius. We are four 16 year old kids one of average height and
weight, one that's tall and skinny, one that tall and average, and
one that is short and fat."
"Shut
up you two," James whispered as loud as possible without
actually speaking at regular tone.
"You
shut up! I'm stuck here in the cold wearing nothing but pyjamas and
an invisibility cloak in the middle of the night so that you can set
up an explosive acid reaction in Snape's cauldron... and Peter is
sleeping on my shoulder! ... And he drools!"
at potions the next day(pearls pov)
James
looks nervous.
I
wonder what's up...
Remus
looks tired.
He
usually does.
Peter
looks half awake.
What's
new?
HE
looks energised like he does when he's waiting to prank someone.
I
refuse to say his name.
The
stupid idiot keeps asking me out.
He
is kinda cute though...
Oh.
My. God.
I
did not just think that.
'Pearl
will you go out with me?'
He
always asks me.
I
always reject him.
He
always tries to look as though he doesn't care.
I
see past him though.
He
cares.
Oh.
My. God.
I
did not just try to analyse Sirius.
Did
I just say his name?
ew.
(remus pov)
mind-numbing...Potions.
Is. Mind. Numbing...
What
boring tedium.
Is
tedium a word?
I
wonder if there is a potion to cure Were-wolf.
Or
at least the pain.
I
wonder if there is a safe dose of wolfs-bane that can be taken that
makes me harmless.
That'd
be nice.
Until
then, I'm bored.
If
there is a draught of peace and a draught of sleep, is there a
draught of boredom.
Maybe
we're making it.
That'd
explain a lot.
I'm
tired.
Note
to self: kill James.
He
dragged me around all night with Peter drooling on my shoulder.
Soooo...
Tired...
(dialouge)
"Moony wake up!""Huh?"
"It's about to go off!"
"What's gonna go off?"
"Snape's cauldron!"
"Oh. Right."
(lily pov)
Ugh.
Him.
Jame-Potter.
Why
did I almost slip up and call him James?
That's
gross.
And
disturbing.
What's
up with me?
Him.
Ugh.
(sirius pov)
She's
so hot.
Pearl.
Thinking
about her makes me happy.
mmm...
Happy...
Great.
Moony's
falling asleep again.
"Moony.
Moony! Moony wake up! There's a thousand naked girls behind you!"
"Go
'way Sirius!"
Fine.
Be
that way.
(lily pov)
Professor
Slughorn is boring.
I
never noticed before but he has the tonal quality of a metronome.
He
just keeps going on and on and on...
Wow.
I,
Lily Evans, just insulted a teacher.Even if it was in my head, that was a first.
Can
a person tell there sub-conscious to shut-up?
I
can try.
"Shut
up!"
Did
I just say that out loud?
Based
on the looks people are giving me I'd have to say yes.
Now
see what you've gotten me in to you stupid sub-conscious!
Oh
dear.
I
think Professor Slughorn heard me say shut up and thought that I was
talking about him.
Not
again.
(james pov)
Wait.
Did
Lily, Lily, the friend of all teachers everywhere no matter what,
just tell a teacher to shut up?
Wow.
I
think she's picking up on my Prongsie-vibes.
God
I love her.

Boom!
(peter pov)
Boom.
Silence.
Laughter.
Screams.
What
on Earth did I miss?
Probably
Marauders stuff.
Hmmm...
Hey!
I know! That must be what we were doing last night when they broke me
out of the Hospital Wing!
What
were we doing again?
I
think I fell asleep...
Oh
well...
I
guess I'll find out soon.
(remus pov)
What!
What'd
I miss?
All
I remember is Sirius saying something about naked girls, and then a
loud explosion.
I
can't believe that I fell asleep in class! It'll be all over the
school!
Stupid
Rita Skeeter and the acid that she spreads!
Acid…
Acid!
The acid-base reaction we set up!
"Oh.
My. Bloody. Coughing. Hell... I had no idea that we would wreak this
much havoc-"
Hand
+ Sirius + Mouth Me saying something I shouldn't
"weeeee
didn't do aaaaanyyyythiiiiing!"
"Right."
(lily pov)
Well
this probably distracted Professor Slughorn from verbally assaulting
me. Unfortunately, I think that this is also giving me an allergic
reaction, "this" being the result of someone's cauldron
blowing up. I wonder who's. The smoke from the explosion is too
dammed thick for me to see. I'll ask Pearl. "Psst... Pearl!
Who's cauldron blew this time?" She seems to be in too much
shock. I'll try poking her.
Poke.
Poke.
"S-Snape's"
I can't tell whether she's stuttering with joy, laughter, surprise,
or what.
Omigod!
The
smoke!
Her
asthma!
That's
one of the triggers!
Shit!
(dialouge)
"Excuse
Me! Coming through! Move it!"
"What's
the matter?""That's
Lily!"
"EVERYBODY
MOVE!"
"Thanks
whoever you are!"
"It's
me!""Sirius!""What?""It's
Pear! She passed out! Her asthma! I dropped my wand in the explosion
and I can't find my way to get her to the hospital wing!""Pearl!"
