Disclaimer: Yes, Miss Westhoff and myself bought plane tickets from Sydney airport to Edinburugh, Scotland, invaded Jo's house and wrote the end of Half-Blood Prince (so careful when your reading it, it's likely to be terrrible (that's right terrible with 3 r's)), she gave us the rights to Harry Potter and the pink bonnett hidden under her pillow (hidden with teeth she had stolen from the tooth fairy), we thought it was purdy, and ... wakes up from dream "HeyCharlotte I had the strangest dream..."
Sorry Jo, all rights to you... we are just mightey jealous.
"Charlotte she has it all! Scotland, Harry Potter...nice hair?"
"Aah yes and that pink bonnett. Don't forget the pink bonnett Isabelle."
There was only one word to describe the excitement and anticipation that I felt throughout the meeting; pure boredom.
Amos Diggory (Prefect and a bloody half) was blabbing on about something so not important. I followed in Sirius's suit and admired my nails.
Lily was looking at Amos in a new light. Like those new lava lamps that Lily always said looked like goo. I don't exactly know what goo is or a lamp or anything but that is so beside the point. At least I listen to Lily. And I don't know why Lily was looking at Amos like he was goo but it had to have something to do with the amount of shiny Sleekeazy's Hair Potion that was sticking to the remaining hairs on his head.
It was quite sickening to watch Lily pour over this guy. I felt like grabbing Amos's head as if it were a Quaffle and throwing it out the window as though it were in fact a Quidditch hoop.
James Potter has got the ball… he zooms through the air like there's no there yesterday… he lines up for the shot… it's perfect aiming… he shoots… he scores AND THE CROWD GOES WILD! HE CAN HEAR THE CHANTS! HEAR THEM AS THEY SAY-
"POTTER!" The hoops face turned into the beautiful Lily Evans… the crowd disappeared.
"Huh, who, what, when, where, why….how?"
"What do you think on the matter?" she looked completely satisfied that I would answer stupidly… she wishes.
"I think it's absolutely impervious that we go ahead with the plans as scheduled." I nodded. There was no way that could have been wrong.
"What plans?" she asked now smirking... evilly.
"The... plans? You know the plans to do that thing that I - ( I pointed at Remus whom I had not noticed enter the room.) -Remus suggested last fortnight."
"Last fortnight was holidays, mate?" whispered Remus
"Really? Wow funny thing that! Ah, yes I remember now remember that emergency meeting we called, Remus, to discuss the thing?" I gave Remus a desperate look that clearly said:
HHHHEEEEELLLLLLPPPPPPP!
I waited. He gave me nothing. I gave him a 'cheers, mate' look and looked at Lily.
"Just 'cause you don't know what I'm talking about, Lily, geez you don't have to take it out on me!" Turning the blame on someone else; another thing I'm brilliant at.
"Huh? What- don't- what – POTTER! IN THE CORNER! NOW!"
"What? What did I do wrong?"
"CORNER NOW!"
"WHAT YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO ME! I'M HEAD BOY (I threw my head back and grinned at a girl a few seats over who looked as if she was a hairy toad making her fall off her chair and Lily disgusted) YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO ME!"
"I'M HEAD GIRL!"
"I'M HEAD BOY!"
"I'M HEAD GIRL!"
"I'M HEAD BOY!"
"I'M HEAD GIRL!"
"I'M HEAD BOY!"
"I'M HEAD GIRL!"
"I'M HEAD BOY!"
"I'M HEAD GIRL!"
"I'M HEAD BOY!"
"I'M HEAD GIRL!"
"Okay, I think we have established that you guys have heads - I mean are heads - I mean – have great power and – NEW TOPIC!"
"Only if Potter sits in the corner!"
"Fine!" I muttered half to myself; they were going to regret ever sending me to the corner, "See if I care you and your bloody corners and Sleekeazy's Hair Potion and the guy and the smile – MY SMILE IS BETTER, THANK YOU! – and next when I send you to the corner and there's a spider I'll just NYANG NYANG!" I expressed my anger with hand puppets as they ate themselves.
"1234, 1235, 1236, 1237, 1238…"
"James?" Lily was no longer angry! A miracle but wait – did she call me James?
"Yes my love, hang on one moment I'm counting the pattern on the wall …. 1239, 1240, 1241, 1242..."
"Potter, how many times must I remind you that I AM NOT YOUR LOVE! NOW GET OUT OF THE CORNER WE NEED YOUR HEAD BOYNESS!"
"1243, 1244, you're the one that put me here!" I screamed in protest as I faced the wall and rocked back and forth with my legs crossed "…1245…"
"POTTER!"
"1246!" I yelled in response. Being childish sure is fun.
"POTTER!
"1247!"
"POTTER!"
"1742!"
"POTTER!"
"7124!"
"POTTER!"
"2471… wait a minute…GREAT NOW I'VE LOST COUNT! EVANS I'VE BEEN COUNTING THAT FOR HOURS!"
"WHILE YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HELPING ME!"
I tried to retrace where I was but it was no use, I just couldn't remember. Tears
swelled up in my eyes; acting school sure payed off.
"YEAH, WELL... REMUS WHERE AM I?"
"Last I was listening it was… I think 23."
"That's not much help, mate."
"Yes, well there are more important things in life than counting the pattern on the wall, Prongs."
Remus indicated Lily by moving his head; she had stormed outside of the carriage room and was pacing the corridor and not-so-silently fuming.
It suddenly occurred to me how irritably annoying I was. Lovable, but annoying; like Sirius. Annoying but yet somehow you wanted to hug him…
…or so I'm told… I scratched the back of my head.
From the outside Lily was making a spectacle of herself.
"STUPID…mumble…POTTER, TREE-LIKE LEG, NECK…THING…mumble…mumble…. scream…..angry, ANGRY, Lily, not LIKING JAMES APPARENTLY, CHANGED SELF!"
People had gathered outside to see what was going on. I walked out.
I closed the door and heard Remus shout to the rest of the prefects "All right20 sickles says Lily beats him to a pulp!"
How rude! I'll so win this!
Sniff sniff I thought he was my friend!
"Lily, darling, love, you're causing a scene." I tried to calm her down as she pushed people walking past.
"STOP CALLING ME LOVE! DOES THIS LOOK LIKE THE FACE OF LOVE!" she bared her teeth, eyes blood shot and scary.
"Ummm…..yes?"
She screamed.
"Uh, okay… you have the face (Lily continued pacing) only a mother could love?"
I held an instant shield of hands up against my face. Not fast enough.
SLAP
"YOU – YOU - YOU RUDE, CRUDE, UNPREDICTABLE, SNOBBISH, IRRITATING, GOOD-LOOKING-BOY!" She stopped realising what she'd said…also watching the very happy look on my face.
Her face had turned purple.
"Minus the last one."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Really?"
"YES!"
"Really?"
"NO – YES - WHATEVER!"
I smiled.
"You think I'm good looking!"
"NO I DON'T!"
"You think I'm purdy!" I put my shoulder to me chin.
"No I don't!"
"Oh, come on we all know I am."
"WHAT? YOU'RE -"
"Extremely good looking?" I added usefully.
"Y- NO! NOT IN THE SLIGHTEST!"
I was definently getting somewhere. Until she stormed off with her hands in the air out of pure frustration. Then Sirius jumped out of no-where making me jump.
"Well, that went well." I said calmly.
He too stormed off with his hands in the air out of pure frustration muttering something that sounded suspiciously like "Boys!"
"UGH, WHY TODAY? TODAY OF ALL DAYS WHEN I FINALLY FELT MY HAIR WAS DOING WONDERS FOR ME!" I stormed off (not knowing where I was going) with my hands in the air out of pure frustration.
