Chapter III

Disclaimer: I just gotta say it again- nope I don't own anything.

The next morning Summer woke up at 6 am and couldn't fall asleep again 'cause she had to think of Lily all the time (okay so maybe she was also thinking about a certain butterfly obsessed boy) So she just got dressed and threw her pillow at Kelly. She groaned and turned to the other side. Summer hit her with the pillow again and again. "I'm so not gonna get up", said Kelly in a muffled voice "I need my sleep and I am not gonna get up!" Summer hit her again. "Okay- I give up.", sighed Kelly
Five minutes later she was dressed and not in a really good mood. "Okay- so could you please tell me now why the hell I gotta get up at 6 am!" Summer didn't answer and left the room- Kelly followed her "Hello…! Where are you goin'? Whoa, is that smell your new parfume?"
Summer entered the boy's dorm and turned around to glare at her "There's nothing wrong with my parfume! I'll take Sirius and you'll take Remus…" She leaned over Sirius' bed and whispered in his ear: "We already got your friends and now we came to get you bwuahahahha. We the evil butterflies bwuahahaha…" he immediately said up straigh, a look of horror on his face "That was not funny", he said in a threatening calm voice.
Kelly shook Remus slightly and when he opened his eyes she gave him a big, hearty smile "Hey there, morning"
-------------------------------
A few minutes and angry comments of Sirius later they opened the doors to the hospital wing and were surprised to see Lily and James both awake. "OMG, oh my god, oh my god- you're up!", screamed Summer and hugged Lily(maybe a little too tight)
"Do you guys remember what's happened?", asked Remus who sat on James' bed. "No, I can't remember anything. Sorry.", said Lily slowly and looked at James. "Me neither. All I know is I was in the entrance hall and then it's all black…", said James and smiled happy at his friends. He and Lily exchanged another look. "'Course they can't remember. When are you guys ever gonna believe me? I mean c'mon butterflies may not be pretty, but they're definitely not that stupid…", explained Sirius. Kelly rolled her eyes annoyed."Okay, okay I admit it!",she screamed just to shut him off. "I confess: I work with the butterfly-army! I gave them all the information they needed, actually they had come to get you. But Lily and James saw them- so they had to do something. They had to get rid of them! So, you're happy now!" Sirius just stared at her and then whispered something that sounded pretty much like: I've always known it was you!
Summer walked up to him and put a hand on his forehead "Now you're hot", she said. "I know, thanks", replied Sirius (He blushed slightly when her hand touched him). "I was talking about your forehead!", snapped Summer and punched him on the arm. "We've gotta stay till tomorrow morning- but then we're free to go", said Lily and hugged her two friends goodbye. "Bye bye", said Kelly and turned to leave Sirius (who looked at her really strange) and Remus on her heels. She suddenly stopped "Wait guys, someone's missin'- I don't smell Summer anymore…" They turned around and found Summer still talking to Lily "I'm coming…", she said "And there's nothing wrong with my parfume!"
"We still have an hour till breakfast starts- let's go to the lake!"
So they sat on the bench at the lake together five minutes later… "I don't know", said Kelly "I mean it's great- that they're up now, but still we need to find out what happened…" "Well, we already know that James wanted her to come out and waited there. She found out and was really angry", said Remus." "Aaargh" they saw Sirius running around in the morning sun- followed by two butterflies "I don't know anything- so leave me alone!", he shouted and was horrified to see that a third one had appeared. "My goodness. Could you just stand still!", asked Summer trying hard not to laugh and took her wand out. She waved it and the butterflies that were chasing Sirius disappeared. "God, thanks.", said Sirius out of breath and sat down next to her. "Mhmm,well….maybe…no…", muttered Kelly. "What's up?", asked Summer. "Well, maybe some of the portraits in the entrance hall witnessed something. But I guess someone already talked to them…" "No, I think that's a great idea. We should do that.", said Remus and smiled at her.

In The Hospital Wing
--------------------------------
"So, why didn't you tell them what happened?", asked Lily suspiciously. "Why didn't you tell them?", shot James back "I mean it's just…embaressing! They don't have to know…I think we should just make something up- something harmless…" He stood up and set down on Lily's bed "C'mon- you don't want them to know do you? They'd just gossip behind your back." He took her hand. "There's nothing my friends don't know about me and I'm not looking forward changing that. And they'd never gossip about me", she looked angry but she didn't push his hand away "They're our friends! They tried to find out what happened to us and didn't even kill eachother…okay so mainly it's you and me who'd have killed eachother…I think we should tell them. No one else has to know" They both fell silent for a moment. "Oh did I already punch you for saying I'm predictable? I don't think so…", she said laughing, she tried to hit his arm but failed and punched in the air "Arghh", she fell out of the bed. James reached out his hand to pull her up again "What a gentleman…", Lily smiled
----------
Sirius, Remus, Summer and Kelly stood in the entrance hall and tried to convince the portraits to tell them what they saw- if they saw something. For some reason all the portraits seemed scared and didn't wanna say anything. Sirius opened his mouth to say something but Kelly cut him off "Don't you start again!" "Ehm, hey I think our Transfiguration lesson started twenty minutes ago…", said Summer.
They hurried up the stairs and down the hallway.
"You are late and I hope you have a good reason, we will talk later", said Professor McGonnagall when they opened the door and sat down in the last row. "So like I was saying before this interruption I want you to transfigure these butterflies(she pointed to a large cage with loads of butterflies in it) into a picture of a butterfly."
"Ehm, Professor", Sirius raised his hand. "What is it Mr. Black?", she asked with a tired expression on her face. "I am not gonna work with those! (He pointed to the butterflies). "Well, I am the teacher and you are the student- so you're gonna do what I say. Besides there's nothing scary about butterflies.", she said and gave him a cool look.
"Yeah but you don't know about their evil plan. I would tell you- but then they'd come after you Professor…", argued Sirius. "Don't be ridiculous Mr. Black. Please turn to your work now.", she gave him another cool look. "Ouch, it bit me. That thing bit in my finger!", winced Summer and let go of her butterfly. "Do butterflies have teeth?", asked Kelly confused and waved with her butterfly who was a picture now. Unfortunately she waved her picture a bit too enthusiastically and hit Remus next to her right in the face "Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to- really it was an accident…" "It's okay", said Remus and smiled at her but when she turned around again he winced silently and held his nose
"You can go now", said Professor McGonnagall at the end of the lesson "Black, Lupin. Johnsson and Shu- you stay please." They all walked up to her "Look I know it's hard for you with your friends in the hopital wing, but I was informed that they will both be fully cured- so that's no excuse to be late. I don't wanna see that happen again. Now go."
---------------------
"You don't mind me taking your seat next to Summer, Kell, do you, asked Sirius as they walked along the table. She didn't reply "Nah, I didn't think so either…" He sat down next to Summer and placed Kelly next to Remus. "May I offer you some pumpkin juice?", he smiled at Summer. "God that's like soo cheesy- but well why not", she smiled back at him. Kelly rolled her eyes and turned to Remus "God, one moment they shout at eachother and the next moment they flirt like crazy. I mean c'mon that's weird isn't it?", she whispered. "Well it's the same with Lily and James- isn't it. They're just not that obvious. I feel like there's somethin' they're not telling us. Did you notice those looks they exchanged?", replied Remus. "I think it's just the same old Lily-actually-likes-him-but-he-acts-like-a-prat-then-tries-to-do-better-but-fails-but-Lily-still-likes-him-what-she-would-never-admit-story, maybe they actually cleared up that they like eachother…Oh, look there they are…", she waved at Lily and James who walked along the table looking for empty seats "Hey guys. I'm strarving. Thank goodness Madam Pomfrey let us go a little earlier.", informed Lily them and she and James joined them for lunch. "What's up with those two?", asked James with both his eyebrows raised. "Hey I'm back…", he nudged Sirius to get his attention. "Sorry what?", Sirius turned around and looked at James "Oh, hey. We already missed you, dude."
"Ehmm, hey guys are you finished eating? You know Madam Pomfrey tried this spell and now we, ehmm now we can remember what happened…", stuttered Lily. James looked at her and said: "Yeah, she's right. But let's talk somewhere else." Kelly lowered her fork- she had just wanted to begin eating "Sure, I wasn't hungry anyway…", she said and pushed her plate away.
"If this is about the butterflies…it won't work- they can hear you, no matter where you are…", said Sirius and got up.
------------------
They sat in the empty common room (everyone else was in the great hall for lunch). Lily's mind raced- she had to tell them a good story and in James' face she could see that he had no idea what to tell them either. "What can I tell them?", she thought "what the hell can I tell them- that doesn't make me look like an idiot?"
She cleared her throat. "Well…James was having a go at Snape once again though he had promised me to leave him alone and ehmmm that made me very angry. So ehmm, so I went after him and found him and Snape in the entrance hall.", explained Lily slowly- only interrupted through Kelly's stomach that made some rumbling noises. "Hey, now that's something else….why shouldn't he look like an idiot?", she thought and continued "I wanted to hex him….because I was so angry…and well he tried a shield charm- but his wand backfired….and that knocked us both out." She looked at her friends who didn't really seem convinced. "So, that's what happened. No reason to worry.", she ended her story.
"Well, we better get goin'. We still got two lessons… I suppose you have the day off?", said Remus and got up. The others followed him out of the common room and through the portrait hole.
"Now that was the lamest story I've ever heard, Evans", said James and threw a pillow at her. "Well it was you who wanted to tell them some story. I wanted to tell them the truth- but no…" "Oh, come on- don't be that catty…", he walked over to her and took her hand "My lady, what would you say if I'd get us some food from the kitchen? As a late lunch." "Perfect", she said and smiled.
-------------------
"Now that was the lamest story I've ever heard.", said Sirius as they walked down the hallway. "I just don't get why they cover up for those butterflies…" Kelly rolled her eyes and patted her stomach that rumbled violently "And for that I had to skip lunch? I mean come on we know that they lied- we saw that flashback and as I recall it Snape was nowhere to be seen…", she said angrily.
"Well maybe we're just not supposed to know everything. I mean I don't tell you everything either, Kell", said Summer. "You don't?", asked Kelly with a half hurt, half angry expresion on her face. "I don't!", said Summer who did obviously not get what she had just said. Remus walked between Kelly and Summer now "I'm actually not that much interested in what happened anymore, but I wanna know why they're lying.", he said.
"They don't really think we bought that story- do they?", Summer raised an eyebrow.

Okay- so that's it for now. I was actually so stupid to cut all my fingers while carrying some kind of well let's say plate- so I got at least two cuts on every of my finger tips, that hurts pretty much while typing…so go and review to make me feel better… The next chapter's gonna be the last one. Then you're gonna find out what really happened and why they're lying to their best friends.
