Chapter 11- The hideout about the sky
"Can I tell you a secret?" Harry nodded shyly. Rosmerta leaned over, probably a little farther than she should and said, "You have always been my favorite costumer." As Harry blushed and Rosmerta walked back to her post cleaning dishes, the boys at Harry's table cracked up.
"'You're my favorite costumer James!" Remus said in a high voice, making Sirius laugh even harder.
"Come on guys," Harry tried to say, "She was just trying to be nice." The boys cracked up once more. Harry blushed and looked at Lily, who wasn't laughing, for some help. She simply rolled her eyes. Harry was on his own with this one.
"Oh James," Sirius spoke in a high voice, trying to control his laughter, and grabbing Harry's face so he had to look at Rosmerta. She was smiling at him as she dried another mug. "How about you come over here and help me with this?" The boy's laughed as Harry pulled his face out of Sirius' grip and looked deep into his mug.
"Fantisizing again, Potter?" a squeaky voice came. Harry looked at Peter who was infront of him. He was staring at something behind Harry. As Harry turned to see the pasty complexition of Snape, Sirius was already out of his seat in front of him.
"Yeah but James looks at real girls, not pictures from Witch Weekly,"Sirius said standing in between the two.
'This doesn't concern you, Black," Snape glared.
"I think it does!" Sirius was now circling Snape like a rooster in a cockfight.
"Come on then Gryffindor, fight! If you are so brave! Or maybe you would get into trouble by Miss Prefect over here." Without another word Snape pulled out his wand but Sirius was already lunging forward to sock him one.
"You'll pay for that Snivellus!"
It was two days later and Lily and Harry were entering the Great Hall when they saw the gang was already there.
"It's about time you two showed up," Remus said exasperatedly, as the two come over to sit with them for dinner that evening. Harry sat down next to sirius and smiled.
The Great Hall was filled with students who sat hungrily for their food. The candles were lit and hovering inbetween the students heads and the ceiling which was glowing brightly with charmed stars. There was a metor shower and the shooting stars were falling and dissolving in mid air.
So how come you're so late?" Sirius wanted to know. He nudged Harry slightly with his elbow. Harry laughed stupidly as he looked over at Lily who didn't seem to find the comment amusing.
"I'm not even going to please you by answering that question," Lily retorted sitting next to Harry. Remus had already started eating his dinner but Sirius persisted.
"Come on James, where were you?"
"We were walking by the lake," Harry said quickly, avoiding Sirius' eyes. "We were trying to come up with a new place to um…..sell." Sirius' eyes widened.
"Did you find a place?" By this time, Remus had stopped eating midbite.
"We hoped you had." Everyone's expression soured a bit. To emphasize the emotion felt at the table, Remus let the food on his fork, which was still hovering midbite, slip off and land on his plate with a plop.
"No," Remus told Harry and Lily. "But we better find it soon. We have a new owl flying in. Not to mention how many people are on the waiting list. It's amazing," Remus placed a black journal in Harry's hands. Within it were 72 names of people, their house, what they had ordered and how much money was expected from them. "We have never had this many on the waiting list all at the same time before."
"We can't let all of these people down," squeaked Peter, who until he spoke Harry hadn't noticed. "The packages should be here tomorrow sometime. We have to have a place to put them."
Harry had thought of the room of requirement, but it didn't fit the description the quill had made.
"You will find the hideout about the sky," Harry told himself aloud, taking a bite of his dinner. The room of requirement didn't have anything to do with the sky. How can they hide in the sky? Apparently he needed to find this hideout before he goes back to the present day.
"What was that?" Lily asked Harry. Harry snapped back from his thought process.
"What? Oh, it's nothing. Just thinking out loud," he said going back to the dinner that was infront of him. "Put the stuff in our room for now. We'll get it out of there as soon as possible. We need a hideout in a place where people can't find us."
"Well, I think I have something that will cheer up everyone's day," Remus said, as he threw his head back on a gesture towards the door. In walked Snape bruised with a piece of white tape over his now healing nose. The group smiled at eachother and then sat in silence trying to think of the next great hideout. But Harry was thinking of something else. He missed his friends and his school. After a long silence Harry spoke.
"You guys," he whispered, "I think I need to tell you something."
