Chapter 32
Yvonne walked onto the stage and announced: "Tonight, the students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry shall perform for you a play written by the wizard William Shakespeare in the 1500's. The play is the true story of two wizarding families: The Montagues, who believed that full-blooded witches and wizards were better ad more powerful than half- blooded or muggle-born witches and wizards, and the Capulets, who did not share these beliefs. This is the story of the love of the children of these families. This is the story of Romeo and Juliet."
(Sploogal: James played Romeo, and Lily played Juliet. Leanne sat at the back of the hall, glaring at Lily the whole time. They performed the play really well and blah blah blah. . . Um, maybe we'll write that bit later and post it as an outtake.)
***After the performance***
"Wow guys, that was excellent!" Remus exclaimed.
"Yeah, the audience loved it. Congratulations!" Yvonne said cheerily as she hugged Lily.
"Hang on, I don't get it. What happened to Leanne? Why didn't she play Juliet?" Sirius asked.
"I think I can explain that." Said a voice.
They turned to see Helga standing behind them.
"Lily, you were great! Much better than that bitch Leanne any day!" Helga gave Lily a hug.
"Thanks Helga," Lily said smiling.
Helga returned the smile and replied, "No problem," before turning to the boys to explain what had happened.
By the end of the explanation, the boys were rolling on the floor, laughing.
"And Leanne didn't know you did it?" James gasped before calming down.
"Not that we mind, but why did you do it?" Asked Sirius, getting to his feet.
At a pleading look from Lily, Helga and Yvonne dragged Sirius and Remus away, leaving Lily alone with James.
"Lily?" James prompted. "We were worried when you didn't come to rehearsal."
"Really?" Lily asked, her good mood ebbing away. "You didn't seem to mind at the time."
James looked confused for a moment before a look of understanding dawned on his face. "You saw. . ."
"You kissing Leanne? Yeah, I saw that!"
Lily turned to walk away, but James touched her shoulder and she turned back, looking tearful.
"What you saw was Leanne kissing me. I couldn't stop her! She launched herself at me." He said softly. "I thought I made it clear in the cupboard at Moony's place that you were the only girl for me."
Lily looked into his eyes and smiled. "C'mon. We're going to miss the party. I want to see Leanne."
"If she shows up, that is." James pointed out.
The party was almost over when Dumbledore entered. Silence descended immediately.
"Mr Potter, will you please come with me to my office." He said looking gravely at James.
James' heart sank. Was Rion dead? Why else would Dumbledore ask for him? No, he couldn't be dead - he would have felt it.
***In Dumbledore's office***
"James, your brother, Rion, was found this afternoon." Dumbledore stated.
James lifted his head. "Is he ok?"
"He is currently in Saint Mungo's Hospital." Dumbledore answered. "He has lost all memory of the past two or so years, and is in a critical state."
"Can I visit him?" James asked faintly.
"Of course you can," Replied Dumbledore. "And maybe it would be best if you took someone along. Miss Evens perhaps?"
"Thankyou professor." James said, before stumbling out of the office.
***At the party***
"Hey, was that Leanne thing your idea?" Sirius asked Helga.
"Yeah," she replied. "I've always hated the way she throws herself at James."
"Alison's just as bad. Do you think you could get rid of her for me?" Sirius joked. "Speak of the devil!"
Alison walked up to them. "Siri baby," she cooed. "Would you like to dance?"
Sirius looked horror-stricken, but Alison didn't appear to notice.
"Excuse me, Alison, but Sirius is my boyfriend." Interrupted Helga, before turning to Sirius. "Do you want to dance?"
Sirius smiled. "Sure."
Once they were on the dance floor, he said, "Thanks for that. You didn't. . ."
He never finished the sentence, because at that moment, Lily walked in. She was white as a sheet after being told what had happened to Rion.
Sirius, Remus, Helga and Yvonne all rushed over to her.
"Lily, what's wrong?" Asked Yvonne.
"Rion." She whispered. "He's been found."
"How is he?" Demanded Sirius immediately.
"He's lost all memory of the last two years, and he's in a critical condition." She answered softly. "James and I are going to see him. I just thought you should know." She looked up at Sirius and Helga and attempted a grin. "Is there something going on that I haven't been told about?"
Sirius looked at her in confusion before he realised that he still had an arm around Helga, and she hadn't made a move to remove it. He jumped away from Helga, and as Helga and Lily laughed, he muttered (Sploogal: Muttered? MUTTERED?!) under his breath about girls seeing romance at every turn.
A/N If you guys want to chat, visit and go to the chat room that's on the 'interaction' page. Also, Sploogal is feeling very bored, so if you have msn, add chocolateisnoforbreakfast@hotmail.com and chat to me. PLEASE! I'm begging you to do this. I'll try and have another chapter up by tonight, but I've hurt my arm (I don't now how because it happened when I was sleeping. I'm scared.) and so I'm typing a lot slower than usual. Thanks to 'ReBelleRose' 'SjabRox' 'freckled_angel' 'Selina Marie Souza' 'Aphrienna' 'Maddy-Riddle' 'hart-break' for your reviews on the last chapter.
'ReBelleRose' I'm very confused. Why do you think we're lucky to be in Australia? A couple of other people have said that too, and every time I hear it, I get more confused. I (Sploogal) can't wait to leave. I've never been overseas, though Garden Gnome has (lucky bugger), but from what I've heard, I'd rather be somewhere else. Australia (particularly Perth, which is where we live) is really really really boring. There's absolutely nothing to do, and the nearest city it half a country away! In the suburbs, there's movies or bowling, and in the city there's movies, pool- halls, or bowling. BORING!!! My folks are from Sydney, and they reckon that we take Perth for granted, so maybe there's something good about it that we don't see.
'SjabRox' We can't be that much older than you - we're only 15!
