Thanks to SiriusBlackSfan and Emma Barrows!
I have to leave for a week in about an hour, so I have to pack! No more updates for a while.
Chapter 5: Patrol
Lily sped up, already dreading the first patrol for her and James. She was already late!
"Tsk, tsk, Lily. Late for your first patrol?" Lily looked at James, and said, "It's fine. I'm here now, so can we get this over with?"
James smiled, and started walking. Lily hurried to catch up, and they walked along in awkward silence.
A scuffle broke the silence. "What was that?" Lily asked, looking down a dark corridor. James stopped and said "Probably just Peeves."
"What if it's students out of bed? We've got to check it out."
"Oh, alright." James said, rolling his eyes. Lily pulled him along by his sleeve, and led him into the corridor.
"H-hello?" Lily called. A slight scuffle made her jump, and James walked into a dark classroom.
"Hey! Break it up you two- Sirius!" James said. He slapped his forehead.
"Sirius, get out here." James said, and walked up to him. Sirius had been trying to hide behind a desk.
"Hello, Alycia." Lily said to the girl. "You're actually dating him? I thought Ravenclaws were smart!" Alycia looked insulted.
Lily said, "I'm sorry, Alycia, but I'm going to have to dock you 15 points for being out this late." Alycia pouted, and stalked off.
"And you Sirius," James said. "15 points off you. Though, I know it won't do any good, a detention, also."
"Why do I get a detention and she doesn't?" Sirius said angrily.
"Because, Sirius," Lily said, "You probably brought her out here, and that means you are more responsible."
Sirius pouted a bit, and James said, "Go back to the dorm, Sirius." He stalked off.
James turned to Lily, and said "Shall we continue?"
Lily nodded, an led them out into the main corridor and they continue walking.
They came across no more trouble, and when they reached their common room, Lily immediately went to her room and fell asleep.
Not that James did the same, hehe.
When Lily woke up on Saturday, she yawned. After taking a shower, she went to go meet Anya and Alanna at breakfast.
Lily looked at a clock and she noticed it was almost 10 o'clock.
"Oh, jeezus." Lily said, exasperatedly. She was supposed to meet her friends at 9!
Lily rushed out of the Head common room, and ran to the Great Hall, praying her friends wouldn't hate her.
"Where have you been?" a voice said behind her. Lily cringed, and said, "Don't hate me! I overslept!"
Anya grasped Lily's shoulder. "Okay. So that's a reason to leave us hanging?"
Lily smiled, and said, "No, not really, but seriously! I stayed up until 1 a.m. patrolling!"
"Right…" Alanna said, laughing. "You sure you just didn't want to hang out with us, oh mighty Head Girl?"
"No, I'm just tired. What did you want to talk about with me, any way?" Lily said, and she began to walk.
"Well, we were just wondering… Is it true you caught Sirius snogging in a classroom last night?" Anya asked.
"Yeah, why?"
"Because I'm gonna kill him!" Alanna said, threateningly. The three were outside, nearing the lake.
"Uh, why…" Lily asked, confused.
"Because he came in the common room loud enough to wake the whole tower up! And, I woke up, and knocked my glass of water all over my pajamas!"
"Ooh, yes, he's really GOT to die!" Lily said sarcastically. Anya stuck her tongue out and Alanna snorted.
"He's still gonna pay."
"Hey! It's not my fault! James's the one who gave him the detention!" Lily said, defensively.
"Whatever. Now that we've got that over with, Alanna-Wet-Her-Pants, let's talk about something else." Anya said, Alanna cried out, "HEY! I did not wet my pajamas!"
"I said pants, not pajamas!" Anya teased. Alanna yelled, and started chasing after Anya. Lily shrugged and sat down to watch.
'Just another day…' Lily said.
