I own no one! Ok It's 9:51 in the evening and I still haven't done my half an hour Maths homework, so this chappie is pretty rushed, i'm sorry it's short but i hope you like it all the same.
----------------Why did I fall for your charms?-----------------
I stood there for a minute, not sure where to go. My stomach rumbled and pointed me in the right direction. The Great Hall for dinner. As I entered I spotted Daisy, Sandy and Alice sitting a little way down the table. I made my way towards them then stopped. Sandy looked up at me and then back down, her expression unreadable. That was it, I couldn't just sit down there, Sandy would most probably move, and then what would I do? I looked over at them again and saw Daisy glaring at me.
Alice seemed oblivious to this as she also spotted me and called me over to sit by them.
"Hi Lily, where have you been?" She asked looking at me with curiosity.
"Erm, outside" I mumbled, franticly shoving food into my mouth, avoiding Daisy's stare.
"Ruining my chances with Elliot Rivers more like" She grumbled. Glaring at me some more.
"Huh?" Alice asked raising an eyebrow.
"I was finally going to say yes Lily and you ruined the moment! What if he never talks to me again?" She said raising her voice.
"I'm…I – I'm sorry I didn't – I didn't know" I said, barely able to speak because my throat was now dry and my voice hoarse.
"Look Daisy calm down, there's no need to make a scene" Alice said in what she thought was a comforting voice but to Daisy must have seemed a demanding one.
"Don't you tell me to calm down Blondie; no one asked your opinion!" She shouted, standing up and throwing out the bench. She stepped over it and stalked off.
"Don't call me Blondie you…crazy COW!" She yelled after her retreating figure. "Gawd what the hell is her problem?" Alice said looking completely lost as to what had just happened.
"I think she hates me" I mumbled, playing with my plate of pasta in front of me.
"Why?"
"Because I took her away from that…Rivers guy" I said.
"Why'd you do that?" Alice asked.
"Because I thought he was hassling her, what else was I meant to do?"
"That's true; I trust your judgement Lily, too bad she can't seem to" Alice said, surprising me again with her wise words.
"Thanks Alice" I said smiling a little. My smile vanished when I saw Sandy out of the corner of my eye. "Sandy?" I asked uncertainly. She looked up at me then straight back down.
"Yes" She mumbled.
"I'm so sorry Sandy" I whispered. Alice looked at me curiously.
"What's going on now?" She asked us, looking from Sandy to me then back to Sandy.
"Nothing, nothing's the matter" Sandy muttered, taking a sip of Pumpkin juice.
"No, everything is the matter Sandy, I feel so awful" I said looking at her with pleading eyes.
"I know you are Lily" She said, and she smiled a little. "I just don't think I can bear to face the Marauders again after this" She said blushing slightly.
"Hey that's a good thing isn't it?" I laughed. She laughed a little too. At least she didn't hold a grudge. "In fact, I think I deserve a thank you" Though after I said this I realised that I really didn't deserve one.
"Wait hold up…what are you two talking about?"
"Nothing" I said, shooing the situation away.
"That doesn't wash with me Lily Evans, I want to know what's up and I want to know NOW!" She exclaimed, hands on hips.
"Ok, Sandy told me something, a secret, and…I kind of let it slip to the Marauders" I said wincing as I remembered back to the incident.
"No!" She gasped, her eyes widened.
"Yes" I said looking at her rather stupidly.
"That is like…totally…No!" She said again. Gawd she was blonde.
"Bubbles it's over now, it really doesn't matter" Sandy said looking at me with a small smile.
"So what was the secret then? Was it about that filthy rag you sleep with?"
"No, it was not about huggy, and he is not a rag!" She whispered fiercely, her cheeks flushing.
"Well was it about that time you locked yourself in the astronomy tower, then you wet yourself and used that charms homework I lent you to mop it up?"
"No!" She said furiously, her eye twitching slightly.
"Oh right, it's about your 'heavy flow' right" Alice said winking knowingly.
"NO it is NOT about my 'HEAVY FLOW'!" Sandy screamed in fury banging a fist on the table. She received a few very strange looks from some passers bye and a look of horror from up the table. The people in the year above us, and also in our year, knew already that anything we say is bound to be crazy so they weren't too discouraged at Sandy's sudden outburst.
"Sheesh Sandy, no need to get your thong in a twist, so what is your secret then?" She asked eyes filled with excitement.
"That…" She paused and looked at me, I nodded at her, "that…that I copied my Transfiguration exam off Lily last year" Alice's face fell and she frowned.
"Well that wasn't very interesting, and plus Lily sucks at Transfiguration, no wonder you got a fail" Alice said rolling her eyes and shaking her head, which made her get very confused in deed and she started rolling her head and scrolling her eyes from side to side instead.
"You look like a pillock" I snorted, covering my hand with my mouth at the piggish sound I had just made.
"And you sound like a farm animal" She laughed, pointing at my crimson face. I glared at her.
"Sod off" I grumbled. Turning my head and pouting.
"Soo…" Sandy said looking nervously from me to Alice "I'm gonna go to bed" she stood up and scurried out of our sight.
"Well…I'm going too" Alice said, looking at me with a small glare then standing up.
"Yeah well…me too!" I said also standing up, we looked at each other then turned away and stalked off in different directions. My fists were clenched into balls and I was glaring straight ahead when all of a sudden an arm from behind me grabbed hold of my wrist. I was about to scream when I span round and noticed who it was.
"Hi Lily"
"Jenny, what's the matter?" I asked, forgetting to be angry for the minute to talk to my worried looking friend.
"I need to talk to you"
"Sure, where do you want to go?"
"Erm…Library?"
"Sure" She hurried along the corridor, me in tow. When we arrived she ushered me through the few students milling around to a small table right at the back of the room.
"Good, no one can hear us here" She said looking round cautiously before taking a seat on one of the chairs.
"So what is it you need to talk to me about?"
"Remus"
"Oh…what about Remus?" I asked looking at her vivid expression, her eyes shining over and her mouth twitching at the sides.
"I love him"
"Oh Jenny…It's just a crush I'm sure, I know you had a hard time getting over the break up but…"
"No Lily…I love him"
"Oh Cookie" I hugged her head close to my chest and patted her lightly on the back.
"And he loves me" She mumbled, barely able to breathe through my hard grip. I pushed her away.
"He does?"
"Yes…he does" She smiled ecstatically.
"But when you broke up…didn't he have a – a reason?"
"So he's a werewolf, what do I care, Potter's a stag" I looked at her flabbergasted.
"You…know?"
"Of course I do Lily, all of us know, Hannah, Daisy, Alice even Sandy"
"Sandy knows!"
"Course, come on Lily, we all guessed ages ago, even Alice being her ditzy blonde self sussed they were brewing some kind of potion in those damn dungeons"
"Well…yeah I suppose…" I trailed off.
"Remus told me about Peter, Sirius and James being animagi long ago as well"
"But…I figured they were animagi and when I asked Remus he said I was the only one who knew, and that I should keep it secret" I didn't know what to think. Remus had played a good game...he had made us think we were the only ones…when all along he had told them all…
"He's extremely smart isn't he" She sighed. "Making us think we were the only ones who knew…so we didn't tell each other" She looked so happy…I didn't want to spoil that for her…seeing as she hadn't looked so happy in a long time, in fact she hadn't looked that happy since back in our third year.
"Yeah he's one of a kind" I said, staring into space.
"He told me he wanted to be with me, that he couldn't stand us being apart" She breathed.
"That's great Jenny" I smiled for her. "When did he say all this?"
"Like…just now" She looked at me with a face full of beauty, why couldn't I have her effect when I smiled…I mean she literally resurrected dead flowers with her smile.
"I'm really happy for you Cookie babe" I said smiling.
"I'm happy for me too" She grinned, but there was something now in her eyes that made me think there was something wrong with her new relationship with the studious Marauder.
-------------------------------
My eyes faltered as I swept through the castle with a sleepy expression and tired emotions.
I didn't think I could stay up long enough to have an argument with Alice so I ignored her tiresome remarks about me taking up a good part of the wardrobe us girls shared. I mean she used more space than me and she was still nagging me about it!
"Look Alice, will you please just shut it!" I yelled at her, she stopped wagging her finger at my retreating figure and opened her mouth to speak but thought better of it and grumbled something about me 'being mean to her all the time'. Even Daisy was too tired and unfocused to make any rude comments about me and Alice.
My eye lids fluttered closed and I was asleep before I could think another thing.
I was up at 7 am sharp and went to have a quick shower. I tied my hair back messily and stack a shower cap on top of my head. I stepped into the steamy shower and let the water wash out over me. It felt so good for it just be me and myself for once.
When I stepped out of the shower and was just wrapping my towel around myself I heard a scream from our dorm. I ran through the door of the bathroom to find our dorm door flung open. Sandy, Alice and Daisy were no where to be seen. Without thinking I charged through the door and down the stairs worried about what had just happened. I stood in the middle of the common room and looked about franticly. I was getting rather scared by this point.
"Well hellooo Evans" I heard a voice drawl from behind. I span round coming face to face with:
"Potter" I spat, scowling.
"You look lovely in just a towel Lily, though things would be a lot more interesting without the towel" He winked and smirked at me. How could I have been so stupid, I had completely forgotten about that. I cringed and bit my lip.
"And the caps pretty darn sexy too" I looked up to see Sirius behind James, laughing hysterically, how could I have forgotten the hat!
"Oh, give it a rest will you" I snapped at them. "I just got out of the shower ok!"
"I think we can see that Lily, in fact we can see a lot" James said attempting to look through the tiny gap in my towel between my chest.
"Stop being a perv Potter!" I roared at him covering my chest, but not before quickly removing my shower cap. I stood there self consciously, not sure what to do next.
"I'll get you for this Alice!" I heard Daisy laugh, Alice and Sandy came charging through the portrait hole just before Daisy who came in clad in her very revealing pyjamas, showing the small phoenix tattoo just above her right breast. Alice and Sandy were also laughing and what looked like running away from a wet Daisy.
"What the hell's going on?" I asked looking at them dumbstruck, "I though someone was bloody dying"
"Those bloody bitches threw water over me" Daisy laughed, finally catching up with Sandy and tripping her up so she was lying on the floor, panting and breathless.
"It was bloody hilarious Lils, I couldn't stop laughing at her, and she didn't have a bloody clue until it hit her" She was still laughing as she lay on the floor.
"Oh Lily, what are you wearing?" Alice laughed, giving in to Daisy and letting her tackle her quite vigorously to the floor, "Oof you cow that hurt"
"Nothing by the looks of it" Sirius said smirking, then he looked over at Sandy dressed in her skimpy little lace number. His expression had gone blank and he was looking at her with…lust in his eyes. Oh how angry he made me, he would use her and abuse her just like before, I bet anything he would.
"What are you gawking at Black, has any of me slipped out?" Sandy giggled; looking down to make sure her boobs weren't on show.
"No, you just look so…so"
"So what Black, cause if you're gonna say hot then I already know" She laughed picking herself up.
"Well actually I was going to say beautiful" He whispered, thinking no one could hear but Sandy did, and she blushed, a lot.
"Well this is all very lovely but I'm starting to catch a chill" I said breaking the awkward silence.
"Want me to warm you up Evans?" Potter asked gawking at my assets.
"I'll buy a sweater thanks" I said stalking back to my dorm to get dressed.
"Well so Long as you're wearing something Lily" I heard Sirius comment as I slammed shut the door.
