Well I don't own anyone...what about you?
------------Why did I fall for your charms?-------------
When I was decent and was wearing more than a small towel to cover myself up I made my way to the great hall for breakfast.
Sandy walked with me but Daisy and Alice had already left a little while ago. She was still flushing slightly from Sirius' comment but I decided not to interfere and cause even more trouble between them.
"So Sandy…did you sleep well?" I asked casually glancing at her.
"Hmm, o yeah, it was…great"
"Good"
"Yeah"
"So, what lessons you got this morning?"
"Well first I got DADA with you then I got History of Magic…with you again" She said giving me a strange look, I did know what lessons she was having but I was desperately trying to make conversation and didn't know the best way to go about it.
"Oh yes, of course, it totally slipped my mind you see" I said sheepishly, chuckling slightly.
"Riiight" She said raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah…right" I shifted uncomfortably.
"Isn't he just so handsome Lily?" She blurted all of a sudden, like she had been keeping it in for a while.
"Who?" I asked, knowing exactly who she meant.
"Professor Slughorn Lily. Sirius of course!" She said sighing.
"Well…I suppose he's ok looking"
"Oh Lily you know perfectly well he's God damn sexy" She snapped at me quite out of character for her.
" Sandy, do not tell me you're thinking abut going back with him, you can't"
"And why not?"
"Because you just can't"
"Look Lily, I like him…a lot, and I think I want to give it another go"
"Sandy what the hell is wrong with you? First you can't stick him now you like love him"
"I don't love him Lily"
"Oh so what is all this then? Have you just not got laid in a while?" I said quite spitefully.
"Lily, how can you be such a cow!" She shouted with a look of utter horror on her face.
"I just don't like Black, Sandy, and I don't trust him as far as I can throw him, which is not very far seeing as that fat head of his ways him down"
"Well then Lily, I guess you don't trust me, because I am going to date him again and I don't care what you say!" She stormed off down the corridor and I was left to walk on my own. Or so I thought.
"Lily!" I slowly turned round to face a breathless Potter leaning against the wall.
"Hi" I said dryly.
"Where'd Rogers go?" He asked raising an eyebrow.
"To Hell hopefully" I muttered beneath my breath.
"What was that?"
"Never mind, what do you want?"
"Well you looked lonely, I thought I could just, you know, accompany you to breakfast" He said looking all prominent.
"I don't think so Potter, I don't want to risk catching anything" I said, wrinkling my nose.
"Oh come on Evans, I try so hard all the time and you never seem to give me any credit for it" He whined grabbing hold of my arm.
"Potter, I'm all very flattered for your insistent attempts of wooing me but I just don't see us working out"
"Look Lily, I have actually done everything humanly possible to make you like me, I might have to result to slipping a love potion in your pumpkin juice"
"Potter, what's the point? You just told me you were going to do it"
"Well then I'll add it in your food" I rolled my eyes and shrugged him off.
"Potter, why don't you come back to me in a few years time when A) You've stopped hexing random people into oblivion B) When you start to care about something other than yourself and C) When you get a freakin' hair cut because that running you hand through that messy mop if yours is really starting to get on my last tendril!"
"Oh come on Lily, I wont see you after next year" He moaned throwing a childish strop.
"Well you don't need to worry about it then do you?" I asked him gently, walking hastily away afterwards.
"Well if you ever change your mind I'll be here waiting" He called after me, but I was already through the doors of the Hall. I sat down and quickly shovelled a plate of bacon and eggs down my throat.
"Hey Lily at this rate you'll have drowned yourself in eggs by first period" Alice laughed shaking my shoulders a little.
"Shorry but I'm in a shurry" I mumbled, food flying out of my mouth and across the table. "Shorry" I said again, grinning sheepishly.
"It's erm…fine" Alice grimaced, wiping my spit from her eye.
"So why are you in a hurry?" Daisy asked leaning forward intently, not at all disturbed by my awful eating habits.
"Because I have to get to class before Potter so he doesn't get a seat next to me" I said in a rush, wiping my mouth franticly with the back of my hand.
"I don't get it Lily, what's so bad about Potter?" Daisy asked me, her head tilted to the side with a dreamy and vague expression on her face.
"Dream we are talking about the same Potter here aren't we? You know perfectly well what's so bad about him, take his existence for a start" I said looking at her bemusedly.
"Maybe Lily, you just need to give him a chance" Alice said, smoothing down her skirt.
"I really don't think I do Alice"
"It's obvious you like him Lily, you always complain about him and talk about him all the time, plus you admitted it to us" She said matter of factly, her eyebrow raised.
"Well… I changed my mind since then" I said tartly, narrowing my eyes.
"Sure Lily, and Snape's hair is smooth and silky"
"Really? Wow, I haven't seen him this year" I said twisting round in my seat to try and search him out.
"And they call you the smart one" Alice said rolling her eyes.
"She was being sarcastic Lily" Daisy added in when I didn't notice the sarcasm myself.
"Yes well…I knew that" I said folding my arms.
"Yes Lily, of course you did" Alice said, standing up and swinging her bag over her shoulder. Daisy did the same and I wondered for a minute whether I should to.
"I'm coming too!" I shouted after them, speeding down the corridors to catch them up.
"Lily, how nice to see you" Alice laughed as I stumbled into our DADA classroom just after her.
"You – pant – could have – pant – waited – pant - for me" I breathed gasping for breath.
"Yes, we could have" Alice said bluntly.
"But you didn't" I growled through clenched teeth, my fists in balls.
"Oh yeah, we didn't did we" She said, trying hard not to laugh. I glared at her before going to take a seat at the back of the classroom. Just as I was about to sit down a Slytherin girl shoved me out of the way and took the seat for herself.
"Excuse me, I think you'll find that I was going to sit there" I snarled at her giving her one of my best dirty looks. She ignored me so I spoke again. "Excuse me!"
"What is it mudblood because in case you can't see I'm a little busy here" She said not bothering to look at me. A surge of rage arose within me and I felt tears stinging my eyes.
"Don't you dare call her that!" I heard someone shout from behind me. I turned round to see Potter standing there, wand raised threateningly at the girl.
"Put it away Potter, no one wants to see it" She sneered, a look of slight amusement etched on her face.
"Take it back McKenzie, or you'll soon wish you never showed up to this class this morning"
"I'm shaking Potter, oh dear what a lie that was" She smirked, putting a lazy finger on her lip.
"I've warned you McKenzie, now move out of the way and let Lily sit down" He said with narrowed eyes.
"And what if I don't?" She sneered.
"Then you'll be drinking your food through a straw for the rest of your life" He said, smirking himself.
"Oh just leave it Potter" I said, getting flustered.
"But Lily I-"
"I said just leave it!" I said forcefully, grabbing my bag and moving to an empty seat near the front.
"Yeah Potter, listen to your girlfriend, leave it" Lydia McKenzie drawled.
"I am NOT his GIRLFRIEND!" I screamed in frustration, kicking over my desk and advancing towards her. For a second fear flickered in her eyes, but it was soon replaced by a look of loathing.
"Lily, leave it, I'll deal with it" I heard James say, but I ignored him and stack my hand in his face as I passed him.
"Look Princess, I've had about enough of you and your horrid comments, I don't care about it when you insult me, but when you go as far as to say I am going out with James Potter, that really does cross the line!" I yelled at her making a grab at her throat over the desk. She was quick in her reflexes and slapped my hand away. She slapped me hard across the face and I heard the distant chants of 'fight, fight, fight' from Sirius and some others. My face stung from the hard blow and I found myself tugging hard at her hair. She screamed in agony and threw a punch at me. I was enraged by now and poked her hard in the eye with my finger.
"Ow, you COW!" She screamed making a fist and swinging at my gut. I coughed and kicked her hard in the shin.
"Hussy!" I screeched, holding down her arms by her side.
"Bitch!" She shrilled scratching me across my cheek. I felt hot blood trickle down my face, and I had a sharp pain in my leg where she had just kneed me. I elbowed her in the chest area and she retreated in agony. Wincing in pain we both fell back against our desks.
"You throw a good punch McKenzie" I gasped for breath.
"Not so bad yourself Evans" She said.
"Well, well, well what's going on here then?" I looked to the door and our new DADA teacher for the year strolled in, almost a smirk on his handsome face.
"I was just showing McKenzie here some new wrestling moves" I said darkly at the tall Slytherin, eyeing me as though I was her prey.
"Well petit red head, as much as I don't believe you, I will anyway. Now sit down and get out your wands, there will be no need for textbooks today…burn them for all I care" He said lazily, examining his fingernails. Petit red head? The arse hole.
"Sir, If we burn our textbooks we won't be able to use them at all" Alice said looking at him as though he was crazy.
"Exactly little blonde girl, you won't be able to use them at all" He said, winking at her.
"Excuse me mate, but my mum paid good money for this book, I am not going to burn it" Francis Kingsley said.
"Yeah, his mum had to sell herself to some sleazy old geezer to be able to afford that" A Slytherin called Mark Dwyer laughed.
"Shut it Dwyer!" He cautioned with a look of daggers.
"Hey guys, we don't want anymore fights here do we? No course we don't, we're all friends here after all, now everyone give each other one big friendly hug" Professor O'Neil said, making a move towards Sandy.
"Back off Sir, I have pepper spray and I'm not afraid to use it" Sandy said quickly pulling out her wand.
"Yes, well…I think that's enough love for one day, why don't you take your seats and we can get started" He said in a hurry looking a little uncomfortable.
"He's a pervert" Daisy whispered to me as she slid past my desk. "I caught him looking at Patricia Sharma's arse the other day" I chuckled slightly and covered my mouth with my hand.
"Anyway, we are going to be practising a hex called Mobilicorpus!" He pointed his wand at Peter and shouted the curse. Suddenly Peter was lifted from his seat and being dangled in mid air.
"What the hell!" Daisy yelled as Peter's leg kicked out at her head.
"It's like he's on strings" James said laughing at him.
"Exactly little boy with glasses, he's on strings, like a puppet" He laughed hysterically, parading Peter round the classroom like a toy.
"Excuse me Professor but I'm really not little" James snapped at him, folding his arms.
"Sure you're not kid. Oooo just look at him go" He was literally abusing Peter, who looked extremely nauseous at this point.
"Professor, can't you put him down now?" I asked, feeling a small amount of sympathy for the poor kid.
"Yes, yes fine" He sighed, rolling his eyes. "No one appreciates fine art these days"
"Professor, I think Peter's going to barf" Alice grimaced as he was dropped form a few feet onto the floor. His eyes kind of lolled in their sockets and he fell back.
"Make that faint" I said looking at Peter's still figure with a look of horror.
"Yes, well, he'll be up soon, just leave him for now" Professor O'Neill said with a wave of his hand, dismissing it as though Peter had just got a paper cut or something minor like that.
"But Professor!" I protested.
"Don't worry your pretty little ginger head missy, now where were we? O yes of course, Mobilicorpus, everyone with me now" There were a few audible chants around the room but most of us were still transfixed on the green looking Peter on the floor.
"Oh Sir, please let us take him to the infirmary" Alice plead, using her best puppy dog eyes.
"Fine then little blonde girl, you and Ginger take him down" Who was Ginger? Was she a new student? It wasn't until the whole class's faces were focused on me that I realised I was Ginger.
"Sir my name's Lily, not Ginger" I argued, getting a little flustered at his ignorance.
"Well that's very nice to know little girl, I'll be seeing you later won't I?" He smiled warmly at me which infuriated me even more.
"Sir I don't appreciate being patronised" I said, fuming.
"Such a big word for such a little girl" He said, talking to me as if I was 5 years old. I screeched in frustration and dragged Peter across the floor towards the door.
"Come on Alice, he's heavy you know!" I yelled at her. Together we hoisted Peter up and slung him over our shoulders. He was quite heavy, but he was also pretty short so it wasn't as bad.
When we arrived at the infirmary we tossed him onto one of the spare beds and went to find Madame Pomphrey. She was sitting on her office desk flicking through a wad of paper. She jumped, startled to see us, when we came in through the door.
"Girls, why aren't you in class?" She questioned, eyeballing us suspiciously.
"Peter Fainted Miss" Alice said pointing absently to the door.
"He – Oh goodness! Where is he?" She said franticly, pushing past us and through the door.
"He's there" Alice said boredly.
"When did this happen?" She asked, checking him for a pulse, like he was dead or something.
"Just a while ago, In out Defence against the Dark Arts class"
"It was that young chap O'Neill, wasn't it? I knew he was trouble from the start" She grumbled, fussing over Peter.
"Will he be Ok Madame Pomphrey?" I asked.
"Yes, yes I'm sure he'll be fine, you tow girls can get back to class now – Oh Good HEAVENS!" She shrieked, obviously startled.
"What is it Miss?" I asked franticly.
"Your face dear child" Alice snorted at her comment.
"What about my face?" I asked, feeling it with my hands.
"It looks like you've been attacked by a banshee" She gasped handing me a mirror that she miraculously had in her pocket. I took at and looked at my face. My lip was cut and swollen and my cheek had a large gash across it from were Lydia had scratched me. My eye was slightly blackened and my hair was a mess.
"I didn't know I looked that bad" I moaned, on the verge of tears.
"What have you been doing child?" Madame Pomphrey demanded.
"I err, fell out of bed" I attempted weakly.
"Here, take this, it should heal the wounds, but I hope to never see you like this again Miss Evans, never again" She sighed, all agitated. I took the vile and pocketed it for later. "Well off you go" She shooed us away and we scurried from the room. I took out the potion and took a swig, I immediately felt a little better.
"Wow Lily, your bruise is already fading, that must be some pretty strong stuff" Alice said, touching my face.
"Ouch" I winced, "It still hurts"
"Oh right, sorry" She smiled sheepishly.
"So, you think Peter will be alright then?"
"I dunno, but with any luck Sir will get into a hell of a lot of trouble for mistreating the students" Alice laughed, I laughed also. He wasn't a normal teacher, there was something about him…I didn't trust him; he was too much of a kid, and too much of a pervert.
