Ok, to all of my readers, I am SOOOO sorry for the slow update. I had a
full chapter made, but I was going to wait to make another chapter to go up
with it to make up for the delay. That was the day before my computer
crashed and ALL of my stories was wiped from existence, so now I start from
scratch. Please forgive me! It took forever to get my computer in good
order with everything downloaded, sooo you pretty much get it, I think.
Chapter 6. The Next Day
The group of Gryffies sat inside the common room, all doing odd sort of things. Raven sat on the couch, playing bloody knuckles with Sirius (she taught it to him) who was crouching like a, well, dog, ready to attack. Silvia was relaxed on the floor, hair being braided by Remus. Harry and Gemini were in a corner, talking privately. Frank was busy fluffing Fear's hair in her face, and she giggled, totally forgetting her tomboyishness. Raven glanced her way in awe a bit at the giggle, they only giggled together in jokes and that, only to get her hand smacked with a satisfying 'crack' and Sirius jumping in the air victoriously, giving off a Xena like yell. Raven laughed, rubbing her knuckles a bit and turned to look at the other three members of the crazy bunch. Ron and Hermione were both on the same couch, arms crossed and facing different directions. James was on another spare couch, groaning and sighing every few minutes, being sick of the lovey dovey ness. That was until Lily walked down the stairs.
James leapt up possibly faster than any other time and yelled, "Salvation!" then, catching what he said, he mumbled, "Lily, thank you soooo much. You've got to save me, they are making me sick. Sirius actually doesn't want to do anything but stay in here, same with Remus. I don't know where Peter went, I think he's still asleep," James blurted out, then added as an after thought. "Please?"
"What's so wrong with it?" Lily demanded. "I think it's sweet and romantic. They are being serious, not you," she added as she saw Sirius glanced up, only to get his knuckled crushed. "If you have such a problem with it, why don't you move somewhere else? Like another planet?" she suggested. "I heard that Pluto is still accepting alien beings," she said, before walking over to Hermione to talk about lessons.
"Oh yeah, well, then, why aren't you there yet?" James weakly asked as a comeback.
"Oh, man, that hurt me soooo much. I'm just dying from embarrassment of being beat by an idiot," Lily spat back at him, then looked back at Hermione, who quickly hid a smile.
"So, you don't get along very well with him, do you?" Hermione grinned at Lily.
"Whatever gave you that idea?" Lily asked sarcastically. "He is such a childish prat. He has probably never had a single honest to goodness intelligent thought except on the Quidditch field or in Transfiguration," she raged, then took a deep breath. "So, how are you liking Hogwarts so far?" she asked calmly, keeping her eyes purposely from a certain seeker who had given her too many migraines to count.
"Well, it was very nice where we came from," Hermione began nicely, but of course, we need to make this more interesting.
"We like it here much better, though," Raven cut in quickly, obviously thinking Hermione couldn't handle herself.
"Yeah, good food, good teachers, good stuff," Silvia nodded quickly, Remus losing track of his last braid, sighed, and gave up, starting a new one.
"And good guys," Fear giggled madly again.
"Yeah, good guys," Gemini said, then corrected herself. "But we had good guys, like Harry, at our last school."
Harry, who grinned happily at her last statement, ran over to her and gave her a big hug, then, catching himself and the smirks from everyone else, retreated over to Ron who was ranting something to himself, not even paying attention to what was going on. He was muttering something about, he starting the stupid thing, but now it was all the new cool thing.
Soon enough, the room was full of voices, until they were interrupted by a sudden THUMP THUMP THUMP! coming from the stairs. There was a cry of pain, and Peter jumped up from the floor. "Ok, which one of you girls left your backpacks on the floor?" he asked, not daring to accuse the guys.
"Are you saying that our girls did something to offend you?" Sirius asked, obviously insulted.
"Uh, well, I didn't think it was any of the boys, because I saw all of the boys in the room," Peter mumbled out. Raven went to investigate what had happened, then jumped up and yelled triumphantly, "It's mine. That's where it was."
"Haha, told you a girl did it," Peter grinned happily, but that was until Sirius growled, took a deep breath, and whispered, "You have until three." He put up three fingers and slowly put one down. Peter made a run for the portrait, still in his PJ's, and closed the doors. Sirius put down the second, then the last finger down, before whooping, "TIMES UP, PETER BOY!" He bolted out of the common room, it filled with laughter, even from Lily, from behind him.
Ok, I know this is small, but I wanted to update as soon as possible. Please review and thank you to all who have. Yours truly,
Raven
