Seriously what is it with these disclaimers? I mean have you ever heard of J.K Rowling herself coming onto Fanfiction? No I didn't think anyone had...anyway on with the story.
And just for the record...i don't own anybody!
-------Why did i fall for your charms?---------
I trudged off to my next lesson, thank god I was crap at Transfiguration because I knew that was were Potter was headed off to now.
I caught up to Alice, Jenny and Sandy making there way from the Divination tower. Daisy was the only one of us taking Care of Magical creatures.
"How was Potions Lily?" Alice asked, linking arms with me.
"Just great, you know what I learnt today?" I said.
"What?" Jenny asked, resting her head on Alice's shoulder.
"That Potter's good at Potions" I grumbled.
"You mean Potter was with you in Potions?"
"Yes" I grumbled some more.
"Oh well at least you didn't have Sirius bloomin Black in your class, his head's as big as a bloody beach ball" Sandy said darkly. I chuckled lightly and gave her a look of pity.
"Aw Sunny's just sore because Sirius predicted they were going to have a very long and sexually active life together before she tragically dies in a tennis accident"
"I didn't think he even knew what tennis was" Sandy wailed, "what if that's what my cup really said? What if he was telling the truth!" She was nearly in tears now as we all tried our best to comfort her.
"He's been in the muggle world before Sandy I'm sure he already knew what tennis is" I said patting her on the shoulder.
"I hope bloody so" She grumbled. What a first day we were having, and Sandy seemed to be getting the worse of it.
"At least now we have something nice to look forward to" Alice said sighing.
"What could we possibly be looking forward to today?" I asked yawning.
"A totally Marauder free lesson" We all smiled. Herbology, as you can expect, was not the manliest of classes to attend and we knew this time for a fact that our class would be totally Marauder free.
"Ah the smell of fresh compost on a wet September morning" Jenny said stretching out to tickle a plant soiled into the ground. She looked so happy when she was surrounded by plants and nature. The light, reflecting through the panes of glass in the greenhouse, was bouncing on her curls. I wished my hair was that beautiful, but how could someone with bright red hair ever be that beautiful? I probably looked like a clown, especially when I blush.
"Lily, her Lily are you ok?" Sandy asked shaking me by the shoulders.
"Huh, oh yeah sure" I smiled at her and looked round at the door. Hannah hadn't shown up yet, this was the second class she had missed…I was hoping she would arrive by at least the end of the class.
"I think we should have a moment of remembrance for Daisy you guys" Alice said sounding solemn.
"What? Why?" I asked, suddenly filled with panic.
"Because while we're here planting friendly and nice smelling plants, she's stuck in a stuffy transfiguration room with the 4 most conceited and arrogant jerks in the history of this school" She finished.
"Oh poor her" Sandy said sadly, shedding a tear for her poor soul. We all bowed our heads and were silent for a moment before we were interrupted by that familiar voice.
"Hi Alice"
"Oh no" I muttered under my breath, there would be no stopping her now.
"Oh Frank!" She said flashing him that swoon worthy smile. He smiled back.
"Girls" He said nodding his head at us.
"You look great today Frank, have you been working out?" She flirted like she breathed. She grabbed hold of his arm and walked away with him hanging onto her every word.
"Well I think it's safe to say we have definitely lost her" Sandy chuckled.
"Lost who?" We span round to find Hannah standing there in all her glory.
"Hannah" I squealed hugging her.
"Erm…hi Lily" She said confused.
"She means where the heck have you been" Sandy demanded, hands on hips.
"Errm…Charms, I thought that was pretty obvious" She said looking at us all funny.
"You mean you aren't taking Potions?" I said, my mouth hanging open. Now how would I survive?
"Not that I know of" She said.
"But…huh?"
"Well I figured I didn't really want to be wasting my time with Potions when I wanted to be a judge at the Ministry"
"You mean you want to be like that smelly old Crouch geezer?" Jenny said wrinkling her nose in disgust.
"Actually his job is very important, and it pays well" She said protruding her chest and holding her head up high.
"So what are you taking then?" I asked her.
"Charms, Herbology, Ancient runes, Muggle studies, History of magic and Defence against the Dark Arts" She smiled. "Why do you ask?"
"Oh gawd I thought we weren't going to have any classes together" I breathed.
"Well of course we are Silly Lily"
"There you go rhyming again" Sandy said.
"Oh yeah" She smiled, "anyway as I was saying, of course we have a few classes together Lily, I've said nearly all the classes there are"
"Yes I know but I'm taking Astronomy too" I said quite proudly.
"Oh Lily why did you have to go and do that? We could have had all our classes together!" Jenny said pouting.
"Well I'm a muggle born aren't I? Why the hell would I need to take muggle studies?"
"Good point" She said nodding.
"Well I'm taking Arithmancy" Sandy said, "and so is Daisy"
"And what's Alice taking?" I asked looking at her just throwing herself at the very pleased looking Frank Longbottom.
"Dunno, but I know she's taking flying lessons during our History of magic lesson"
"Flying lessons? I didn't know they were open to 6th years"
"Oh some kid complained last year and they got reinforced into our time schedule"
"But that's…so…so…they didn't even take an exam for it!" I said thrashing my arms about trying to make my point clear.
"Oh well, I dunno how it works" Sandy said shrugging it off. I was a little annoyed at this, mainly because I knew I could never pass a flying exam, I was rubbish. I could barely go on a muggle aeroplane without throwing up. Just thinking about it is making me gag.
"Lily, are you going to be sick? Because if you are could you please not do it all over my new shoes?" Hannah asked looking at me curiously.
"Oh no, I'm fine" I said feeling a little dizzy. I sat down quickly and upon noticing exactly what I was sitting on I jumped up in fright.
"Can't a poor old crooked tree get a little peace around here without some ditzy girl planting her behind on him?"
"Oh, I…erm…t-t-terribly s-sorry" I stuttered. I had just sat on Sir Melvin Shnorkle Bingabong. He was Professor Sprout's one true love. An old tree trunk she had found in the Forbidden Forest. I think it was Flitwick who charmed him to be able to talk.
He was old, and sarcastic and rude. No one thought him anything but an annoyance, but if Sprout dared catch you mistreating him then you would be in detention for the rest of your teenage life.
"That's what they all say" He grumbled, glaring at me with this strangely formed face, looked just like an animation. Like one from those muggle films, you know like Beauty and the Beast. His mono brow was furrowed and his eyes were mere slits in his wooden trunk of a body.
"But…I mean it" I said a little annoyed and growing more fractious by the minute.
"And as I said…that's what they all say" He attacked me with his roots and in seconds he was attempting to tackle me to the ground.
Sandy screamed and Hannah started thwacking it with her school bag. Jenny looked blankly at it before she started singing a song. She sang like an angel, it was sweet and smooth. I could feel the monster tree beginning to loosen its grip. His face looked daze and slowly he began to fall asleep.
"Oh my goodness" I gasped panting heavily and leaning against a large table.
"He's a beast!" Sandy exclaimed. Hannah just stood there froze to the spot looking around anxiously and wondering if something else was going to jump out at us.
"No he's not" Jenny said rushing to his defence.
"WHAT?" Sandy yelled, "Didn't you just see what it did to Lily?"
"Of course I did Sunny, it's just that he's misunderstood is all" She said bowing her head and patting him lightly.
"Oh gawd" Sandy mumbled rolling her eyes.
"Anyway you better not let Sprout hear you say a word against him else you'll be out of her class before you can say manure"
"Oh yuck you had to use the word manure didn't you" Hannah said, turning slightly green.
I laughed at her and took a place round the large table situated in the middle of the class room.
"Morning 6th years and welcome to green house 3" Sprout said happily, I guess it was smiles all round in this particular lesson.
We had to plant some ugly looking things called the Nocens Nidor plant. Dunno what the hell they were but they emitted such a powerful stench I had to cover my nose and mouth with my handkerchief.
"What the hell are they?" I asked, choking as I breathed in.
"Smelly, that's what they are" Sandy said coughing and gagging.
"It means bad smell in Latin" Hannah said, taking all of the stench surprisingly well, I didn't notice why until I looked up and saw she was wearing a simple bubble head charm and it looked as though she couldn't smell a thing.
"Oh Hannah how the hell did you do that?" I whined.
"Oh come on Lily, this is simple stuff, you know the incantation"
"But…wait no I don't" I said.
"Oh yeah, Daisy does though"
"Good for her but it's a fat lot of use for me isn't it?" I scowled.
"Oh well, you snooze you lose" She said shovelling compost into her bucket. I looked over to see Alice so busy taking to Frank that she didn't notice she was shovelling compost into an over flowing pot.
"Psst Bubbles" I called, "Bubbles" She still couldn't hear. "BUBBLES!" I yelled throwing a handful of compost at her. She screamed and nearly jumped through the ceiling.
"What, Lily, was that for!" She asked keeping her voice to a harsh whisper and running a hand through her hair.
"I just want you to know, that you missed your pot on various occasions and are now buried up to your ankles in soil" I whispered back at her, pointing to her feet.
She looked down red in the face and hurriedly shook off her feet.
Frank watched amused whilst she jumped around in the compost heap.
My friends and I burst out laughing despite our desperate attempts to not breathe.
"Oh ha ha guys very funny" She said glaring at us.
"Look let me help you" Frank said kindly, bending down to brush off any extra dirt that was on her shoes. She looked down and smiled. Then she looked at us. Then she looked back at him and noticed he was staring up her skirt.
"Ok I think you've been down there long enough" She said hoisting him up, a smile plastered on his face.
This made us laugh even more and by then end of the lesson Jenny was the only one of us to have had any success with her plant.
"Ah well, an A suits me just fine" Sandy said pushing open the door of the Green house and walking to our Ancient runes lesson on the 6th floor.
"It doesn't suit me" I said throwing about the 7th strop that day.
"Oh don't be so sour Lily, I'm sure you'll get a better grade next time" Jenny said sympathetically, patting me on the shoulder.
"That's all right for you to say" Hannah said.
"Yeah you got an O" Sandy also sulked.
"Oh tish tosh, what's an O between friends" She smirked, slapping us on the backs. We smiled a little at her, amusement on our faces. "That's it, you look a whole lot better when you smile you lot" She said jokingly.
"I look good either way" Alice said twiddling her hair and waking in a daze down the corridor. We all rolled our eyes at her.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" I asked looking at Sandy.
"Definitely" She said smirking. We swung round our school bags and hit her both at the same time. With an 'oof' she toppled to the floor and we ran away laughing hysterically as she looked around bewildered.
I was so busy running and looking back behind me that I didn't know I was about to bump into a large figure leaning against the door frame of my next class room.
It came as a shock to me as I fell to the ground myself and lay there looking into the face of:
"Potter"
"Fancy bumping into you Evans" He smirked.
