Chapter 10- Gurple & Picasso- Part II
Sam lay on Lily's four-poster bed in the Head Girl's room stroking her familiar and watching in a numb fascination as her silver tears stained the wine-red cotton duvet.
"Oh, Sam…" Narcissa whispered from the floor in front of her. She rested her chin on the end of the bed and brushed a tear from her friends' face.
"I just don't get it guys." Sam cried, burying her face in Kipuna's soft brown and black fur. "Who would've thought Sirius could be this spiteful?"
Narcissa gave her a disbelieving look but Lily shook her head knowingly. "It's ok Sammy. We're doing our jobs right at least." Lily smiled sadly.
Narcissa looked between the two girls for a moment then sat up a little. "Right, you guys talk about this stuff a lot. Is there something that I'm missing?"
Lily and Sam exchanged on-the-surface calm looks that barely betrayed their worry and came to an unspoken decision.
"Ok, 'Cissa, here's what's up…" And for the rest of the hour the two girls told Narcissa what she mostly needed to know. Conveniently leaving out any mention of double-agent work, Dumbledore, Time, and the future than was strictly necessary.
"So let me get this straight. You two are from the F- future? You knew Sirius, and James and the rest of those crack-head Marauders and some of us then and are now trying to change the course of the Future by altering the Past and it's really hard because both of you are beginning to have, ah, 'feelings' for the two prats? Is that right?"
Sam and Lily looked at each other then back to Narcissa with big nervous smiles on their faces. "Yep, that about sums it up." Lily smiled.
There was a moment of silence and then Narcissa began to laugh. "Wow that really explains a lot if that's the truth. If you want though I won't say a word to anyone about any of this ok?" Sam and Lily smiled gratefully and Sam slipped back into her brooding silence.
"So what do you think I should do?" She asked helplessly. Lily shoved Kipuna out of the way (Much to the cat's loud yowling protests) and sat in its place.
"You know what I think Sammy. Maybe you should ask someone who knows this era's Sirius a bit better though don't you think?" Sam looked at Narcissa pleadingly and Narcissa stared back with wide eyes.
"Oh no!" She snapped. "Don't get me involved. This is between you and that git." Sam gave her the puppy-dog eyes and stuck out her lower lip so Narcissa couldn't refuse. "Pwease 'Cissa?" She trilled. "Help ittle wittle Sammy?"
Narcissa sighed and grabbed a large, over-stuffed red pillow from the lounge chair and whacked Sam in the head with it. "Fine you great prat, but you must listen carefully and do exactly as I say." Sam nodded and scooted forward like a little toddler being told a gripping story.
"Now, you first must act as though he's just positively dumb and he's wasting your time, then, when he snaps and pushes the buttons too much- boom! Lay him out with a good old-fashioned hex. Then…"
As the bell for the start of afternoon classes rang the girls stood and tidied their appearances, adding some make-up here and there and throwing on some slightly more- interesting clothes.
Sam's appearance had finally changed back and as she looked at her schedule she saw Dueling as the next class of the day. Smirking, she threw her long hair into a pony-tail and started for the Great Hall, flanked by Lily and Narcissa, ready for paying Sirius back.
A/N: Sorry guys, I would have finished this part for the two part chapter but my mother is in here making the most annoyingly loud noises in the world and I can't concentrate so I'll make it a three part and update- hopefully- soon. Hope you enjoyed! ∞ Me ∞
