Chapter 2. And the forks fall
Remus laughed. "You know what's most amusing of all?"
"What?" asked Lily curiously.
"I wasn't even talking about James when I said eigth wonder of the world. I was talking about the fact that you're going out with him."
"And I still wonder why at times," laughed Lily.
T'was morning in the Gryffindor common room, and all was calm. (That's 'cause James and Sirius were sleeping in, as it was Sunday.) But then, it stopped being calm because James and Sirius came rambling down the steps of the dormitory into the common room.
"'Ello Gryffs!" said James cheerfully.
"Mornin' chaps!" Sirius chimed in. A loud THUD was heard above and then the THUMP THUMP THUMP of somebody coming down the stairs.
"Could you be any louder?" said seventh year Lily Diane coolly. Her beauty sleep had been ruined due to James and Sirius and she was in quite a bad mood.
"Actually, for me and James, we could be MUCH LOU-"
"Shut. Up." Lily cut Sirius off.
"Now, now, that's no way to treat your boyfriend," teased James.
"Oh really?"
"Eh, she can't get much meaner than his," said Remus the optimist.
"You think so? TRY ME!" she said, giving death glares to them all.
"Whoa, calm down, fido," said James.
"Call me that again and see what happens," growled Lily.
"How about you go take a nice nap?" suggested a new voice. Cassie DiMo entered the common room.
"Where'd you come from?" snapped Lily.
"Well I just got back from Hell. Torture sure isn't what it used to be," said Cassie boredly.
"You do know your jokes are pathetic," said Lily.
"Ok I know."
"Just thought I'd remind you."
"Nah, don't need reminding."
"Then how 'bout you shut it?"
"Then how 'bout you take a nap?"
"Whatever."
"Aight."
"GoodBYE!"
"Ciao."
"Syanora."
"Au reviour."
"Tootles."
"Meep"
"Feh."
And the odd goodbye ended as Lily reached the top of the stairs.
"That was er. . . interesting," commented James. Peter blinked.
"What does 'Feh' mean?" But of course everybody ignored poor Peter.
"My mother gave me medication for attention desoficor, attention defosfir, attention defocite disorder, with the things and apparently I'm not paying attention. What were you saying? Hi!" Yet another new voice. Rochelle.
"Eh?" inquired Sirius.
"She's quoting," Cassie explained. "She does that a lot."
"Heh, glad you noticed, Cass," said Rochelle.
"R-Rochelle, hi," said Peter timidly.
"Hi!" responded Rochelle.
"Um, um, there's something I want to tell you."
"Yes?"
"I-I like you," Peter finished shyly.
"Mhm," said Rochelle, as it that was nothing new.
"Did-did you hear me?" asked Peter.
"Yes, and I had already figured that out."
"Am-am I that. . ."
"Obvious?" suggested Remus.
"Yeah, that," said Peter.
"Yeah," replied James, Sirius, Cassie, and Lily E.
"Nah, I just know all," stated Rochelle.
"Will you. . . um. . ."
"Go out with you?" Rochelle suggested a finish for his sentence."
"Yes."
"Sorry, but no."
Peter looked slightly pot out.
Emily came skipping down the steps to the common room. "La la la la la la la la." Emily concentrated her eyes up and suddenly her hair turned purple.
James yawned. Sirius stared at her in mild interest. Peter gaped. "How did you do that!" he asked in amazement. Sirius gawked at Peter for asking such a dumb question.
"She's a metamorphmagus," explained Remus.
"What's that?"
"A wizard or witch that can change their physical features. They are born with it."
"Wow, REALLY?" squeaked Peter in awe.
"Wow, don't you ever care to notice she comes down evry day looking completely different?" asked James, also gawking at how stupid Peter was.
"I never thought about it. Thinking hurts my brain," complained Peter. Sirius let out a laugh which he quickly turned into a cough. Remus stared at Peter like o.O, James rolled his eyes, Cassie bit her tongue so she wouldn't laugh, Rochelle was busy staring at Emily's new hairstyle, and Lily was sunken into her book, paying no attention whatsoever.
"I must say, nice hair, Em," said Rochelle.
"Thanks," replied Emily.
"We should be getting down to breakfast," said Cassie.
"Good call," said Rochelle, and they headed out of the common room.
"Wait," said Cassie, "should we wake Lily for breakfast?"
"Um," said Sirius. "I wouldn't recommend it."
The Gryffindors all sat down at their table and chatted away as their plates magically filled. A new face joined the table, across from Sirius.
"Ah, Lil, nice of you to join us," said Sirius.
"Do you pay any attention whatsoever to the notice board?" asked Lily D.
"Nope," replied James and Sirius.
"Oops, I forgot!" said Lily E. in a state of remembering-ness.
"Well there's a dance on Friday. The seventh-year ball," informed Lily D. Along the table, many jaws dropped and forks fell. Lily D. just smiled because she loved being the person who always knew everything.
