Chapter Five: Divination/ Ancient Runes

James Potter (Prongs)

Sirius Black (Padfoot)

Remus Lupin (Moony)

Lily Evans

Abby Sutton

Remind me Padfoot…Why did we decide to take Divination? It is such a waste of bloody time!

We thought it would be easy to pass, put down a few death omens and get an O, but Trelawney is driving me insane…

Driving you insane! I'm the one who apparently is going to die this week…from a hippogriff, how bloody unlikely is that!

Then why, Potter didn't you take Ancient Runes, it's a fascinating subject.

I'm sure it is Evans but I don't want to translate runes for the rest of the year…

James you should give it a chance…its not that bad…really.

Why is everyone attacking me? Sirius is in this class too!

And me…

Yes, yes and Abby too!

Well don't you remember? Sirius wanted to take the class and forced you into it so he could be with Abby.

That's right! And thanks to the git I now have to face the fact I'm going to die on Thursday.

The world will have one less egotistical git in the world

Evans…why do you hurt me so?

God…not this again!

What?

You two do this every other class…actually every class…

Just snog already!

Hear, hear! James, Lily you both like each other…and Lils don't say otherwise! So just go on one date already!

But…But…

She's right Lily…Just give him a chance…

He isn't as arrogant as you think…

Wow…Sirius is being insightful…

Oh shut it Moony…I'm simply two friends find their way to true love!

Awww…That was really romantic of you Siri!

That's why you love me right?

Yep!

Gag me!

No, no…Me first Evans…They make me wanna puke sometimes.

Same…

Hey Guys…Hogsmeade on the weekend…

It is too…

Abby will accompany me to Hogsmeade?

Of course!

Lily…will you go with me to Hogsmeade?

Not as romantic as Black are you?

Of course I am

You keep telling yourself that Potter

Don't worry he does…

So…will you go with me?

Yes…

Really?

No.

Just as I give my hopes up, they are dashed in an instant…My tiger lily you broke my heart once more.

Really? I thought you would be used to rejection by now. And I am not, repeat not your tiger Lily…

Harsh Lils

Just a bit ruthless if I say so myself.

James you are quite the actor. (He is making movements to Sirius and I about how his heart has been broken in two by one, Lily Evans (of course…Trelawney thinks he is acting out how he is going to die.)

Why thank you Abby and yes…Lily, flower, Tiger Lily; must you shatter my dreams and deflate my ego every day…

Well…your ego could do with a good deflate once in a while.

C'mon Prongsy just try again tomorrow…

That's exactly what you said earlier Padfoot!

It just goes to prove that you do what I say…

Don't make me transfigure the crystal ball into a mon-

Ok, ok I get the point…I'll shut up now…

Wow…Prongs…you got Sirius to shut up…this is a history making event…it might not happen for another 10 years…

Moony, Moony, Moony you know that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit?

Well it must not be the lowest form of wit, Padfoot because I'm sure your form of wit is lower that sarcasm…

Ouch…that was low Moony…

Remus…how dare you hurt my Siri!

Your Siri?

Yes…my Siri…he is terribly hurt…

He looks angry if you ask me.

Well I wasn't asking you.

Jamesy boy…

Yes…Siri?

Oi! Don't call me that!

Would you rather me call you monkey boy?

Oh ha ha ha your so funny Prongs! You should be one of those muggle comedians…

Sirius knows something about muggles! Well…this is a history making event too…

Just because I don't take muggle studies like the rest of you, doesn't mean I am stupid when it comes to muggles…Prongs and Moony come to me all the time with their muggle studies homework…

You wish…the day me and Moony come to you with homework…or for that matter the day you do your homework is the day, Evans says yes to me asking her out…

In other words its never going to happen!

Well according to the crystal ball, you will say yes…by the end of Christmas holidays…

Don't you know by now that Divination is stupid? It makes no logical sense what so ever!

Yeah…but its one of the easiest classes to pass…

Say some bad things are going to happen to you and some loved ones and you get an O…simple…

Well not every one can just cruse through the year like you and Black can, Potter.

Well 'Potter' and I are just gifted like that…We have a natural ability to excel in everything we do, from History of Magic down to pranking Snivillus.

Speaking of Sniv and pranking, Moony did you whip up that potion?

Yep all you guys need to do is slip it in his pumpkin juice and then we get to see what suits Snape…blonde, red or maybe even pink!

You put pink in there?

Pink, purple, blue, yellow you name it, it's in there.

Moony you exceeded expectations once again!

I aim to please…

Aren't you being a little mean to Snape? I don't like him either but have you ever thought how he feels?

Evans, its Snape…Snivillus, he doesn't have feelings when he calls you a m- a mud-, I can't say it but he calls you that with no feeling what so ever and you still stick up for him!

But…but…Damn it! I can't argue against that but if your doing it to stick up for me then don't!

We aren't doing it just for you flower; we all have our reasons against Snivillus.

Yeah, and don't call Evans, Flower; only I can do that!

Yeah! Hang on…no…not even you can call me that Potter.

Aww…come on Tiger Lily, I'm the one that came up with that nickname for you.

No you didn't technically my dad did…and unless you're my parents…don't call me that!

If James was your dad…that would be slightly disturbing

Ewwwwwwwww!

Yeah I second that Ewwwwwwwww! And add two extra w's.

Remus, you have such a dirty mind…it's very unsettling!

Well if I didn't say it, then Padfoot probably would of…

You're probably right about that Moony

I would not have even thought of that!

Sure you wouldn't have…

Aww man, Trelawney is giving us homework…

What do you have to do this time? Plot what will happen to you mum and dad next week?

No, for your information Evans, we have to take the stupid, crystal bloody ball and write down what we see happening in the future to at least four of our friends.

And you guys are our victims…

Knowing you Potter, you will probably say that you see me walking down the aisle down to you.

Flower, why do you presume such things?

Because I know you're an arrogant, self-centered arse!

Now I've known James since first year and he is not an arse!

Yeah!

But I'm self-centered and arrogant?

Maybe just a bit…

Thanks mate…really

Anytime…

See you guys in the common room?

Nah…meet you in the heads dorm. You all still got the password?

Yep…

Yep

Yep.

So you gave them the password! I was wondering what Sirius was doing sleeping on the couch in the common room last night!

Yeah, sorry Lils I should have told you.

Yeah, you should of.

See you guys soon.

Yep
