Dating the Enemy

Disclaimer: I really wish I owned Harry Potter, but sadly, I'm a 13 year old loser who sits here and writes Fan fiction for fun. I don't own ANYTHING. NOTHING! Ok, I do own Brigette Cleremont and Victoria Michaels but that's it!

P.S. No flaming what so ever!

This story is dedicated to xKayDeex for being my very first reviewer for this story!

Chapter 3—Back to Hogwarts!

Lily spent the next ten minutes in discomfort. I mean, wouldn't you be if your best friend goes out with your worst enemy?

After a few more moments of silence, Victoria jumped up and said, "For heavens sakes! I HATE silence! Why don't we just play a game?"
"How about Scrabble?" Brigette asked, sitting next to James.

Lily and Victoria's eyes brightened and Lily went to her trunk and pulled out the well played game.

Brigette clapped her hands excitedly, looking like an overeager four-year-old child.

"Yay! I'm first!" She shouted.

The boys watched in interest as Lily, Victoria and Brigette started playing their favorite game.

"What's so fun about a word game?" Sirius asked in bewilderment. "That's not fun, that's learning!"

"Hush Sirius!" Victoria growled. "I need a four letter word starting with F."

Lily's eyes gleamed. "I know one word—"

Victoria shoved Lily. "Not that word!"

Instead, she laid down the word, Fart.

As the trio played, James watched Lily with a sense of longing. He wanted her so badly.

Don't give in, James thought to himself, once she gets jealous with me and Brigette—she'll come crawling to my feet.

Fifteen minutes later, Lily smacked down her remaining pieces, clapped her hands and said, "Well ladies, with forty words on the board from me, that's 40 points then an additional 35 I get 75 points so I WIN!"

"No you don't, Lils!" Victoria shouted, pointing to Lily's remaining word. "Dizdam is not a word!"

"It is so!" Lily shouted back.

"I agree with Vicky here." Brigette said. "Dizdam's not a word."
"Yes, it is."

"Oh yeah?" Victoria crossed her arms. She hated losing. "Prove it. Use it in a sentence."

Lily thought for a moment and then said, "You two can't play diz dam game." (A/N: If you watch Golden Girls, that's the episode of the robbery at their house and when Sophia and Dorothy are playing Scrabble outside)

Sirius toppled over in laughter as Lily triumphantly plucked two Galleons from the losers. "She got you their!" He laughed.

Brigette scowled, put her thin arms on her tiny waist and blew a piece of platinum blonde hair out of her face. "Lily—you cheated! Dizdam's not even a word! Even if you put in a sentence."

"Uh—I don't think so, Brigie." Victoria said, "The rules are, if you can put it into a sentence—then it's considered a word."
"Damn! And I was close to winning too!" Brigette whined.

Twenty minutes later, the train pulled to a slow stop and Sirius jumped up and screamed, "FOOD!"

Victoria clamped her ears. "Good lord Sirius! I didn't know you were that hungry! If I would have known, I would have given you my Pumpkin Pasties!"
Sirius threw himself at Victoria's feet. "Victoria," he said in a sweet voice. "Did I ever tell you how beautiful you are?"
Laughing Victoria lifted her foot and kicked him down. Bending down to his level, she pulled Sirius' well-kempt hair and said, "Sirius, stop being a damn suck up. Here."

She pulled five Pumpkin Pasties out of her pockets and threw them at him.

"Classy," Brigette said. She was nestled in James' arm and looked completely out of place. Tiny, petite Brigette next to tall, muscular James.

Remus nodded as Victoria and Lily slapped hands. "I have to agree, Victoria. You put Sirius in his place."

"Got any more?" Sirius asked.

Victoria shook her head. "I have one more that I'm saving for Divination. I'm going to tear it while Reynolds is talking and throw them at her. She'll never know."

"Why do you even take Divination still?" Lily asked in confusion. "You hate that class!"

"You know how my family is!"

Victoria's family(the male Michaels and Victoria were Quidditch players) highly favored Divination after Victoria's brother, Quinn, became a Seer. Now, it was required that in the Michaels home that all the children (eight of them) take Divination.

"Professor Reynolds is so boring," Remus laughed. "She can put Binns to sleep."
"She already did." Sirius snorted. "Put me to sleep nine out of then times."

Lily stared at Sirius. "Do I want to know the only time?"

Sirius gave a wicked grin. "If you want to."

Lily groaned. "I'd rather not."

"Are we just going to sit here and talk?" James demanded (looking slightly uncomfortable for reasons Lily did not know), "or are we going to exit this stupid train and go inside where a huge feast is waiting for us?"

"I'm in for the feast!" Sirius cried, shoving past Remus, Lily and Victoria. "Out of my way! FEAST HERE I COME!"

Lily chuckled. "How you put up with him, I wonder."
"Trust me, it's a gift." James added.

Victoria rubbed her hands and said, "Well—I don't feel like letting Sirius Black eat all of my food! Now, if you'll excuse me—I need to go talk to Ryan and then go and stop Sirius from eating all that food."

Victoria also disappeared.

Lily and Brigette shook their heads. "Honestly," Brigette said, "she sits their and proclaims how much she thinks that dating is stupid and the next thing you know she's dating a Quidditch boy!"

"That's our Vicky!"

A large grumbling sound shook through the room and the four looked around to see what the noise was.

"JAMES!" Brigette shouted, "What was that?"
James rubbed his stomach with his free hand.

"I'm hungry!"

Remus rolled his eyes. "Let's go then." He said. "Before James turns into a cannibal."

"Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! To the older students, welcome back and to our first years, welcome to Hogwarts!"
Albus Dumbledore smiled down at the four long tables as he made his start-of-the-term speech.

"With the new school year," Dumbledore continued, "we have few changes to the teaching facility! First, I'd like to introduce Professor Samantha Jeffries, the new Divination teacher, as Professor Reynolds resigned from her post, saying she couldn't handle the bits of Pumpkin Pasties being thrown at her."

Victoria laughed at this comment louder than she should have.

"Mr. Filch, the caretaker asked me to tell you some rules he has. No Screaming Yo-Yo or—"

The Marauders (James, Sirius and Remus) weren't paying attention to the speech (well, actually Remus was) at all. They were too busy preparing for the start-of-term prank.

"Let's do it the minute Dumbledore finishes his speech." James whispered.

"No way man! I'm starving!"

"You just ate four huge Pumpkin Pasties!"

"Yeah—forty five minutes ago!"

"This reminder is to the Marauders," Dumbledore continued, his blue eyes twinkling as he sought out the Marauders, "that Mr. Filch asked me to kindly remind you that binding Mrs. Norris to the wall is not something he finds amusing on Halloween."

"We promise Dumbledore!" Sirius shouted, crossing his chest(even though his left hand was behind his back, fingers crossed).

"Yeah! We promise never to do it again!"

Lily, farther down the table, rolled her eyes. Psh, yeah. Like that was ever gonna happen.

Dumbledore's blue eyes twinkled. "I am sure of that, Mr. Black and Mr. Potter!"

"Bring on the food!" Sirius shouted, causing the whole hall (not including the Slytherins) to laugh.

"As you wish, Mr. Black! Now, I have one more word to say, Tuck in."
"Hear hear!" James and Sirius shouted. (A/N: Isn't that from a HP book?)

The hall's golden plates soon became filled with food and Sirius, grabbed two of everything that was in his reach.

"Finally!" He shouted a mouthful of food.

"Hey, Black!" Victoria shouted. "I challenge you to an eating contest!"

Brigette, who was sitting next to James (more like cuddling up, which made her want to gag), wrinkled her nose. "Sick!"

Lily laughed, laid down her fork and knife and looked on eagerly for the two to begin. It was a known ritual for Victoria Michaels and Sirius Black to have an eating contest.

"Victoria!" Natalia Michaels (Victoria's thirteen-year-old sister) sounded scandalized. "What would Mother think of this?"

"Screw what Mum thinks!" Victoria shouted to Natalia. "I'm eating!"

"On your mark—get set—go!" Remus shouted.

Sirius and Victoria instantly started shoveling their mouths full of the food. Lily always watched it in slow motion, slightly laughing but slightly nauseated.

Victoria would be delivering a piece of food to her mouth while she used her hands to scoop more into her mouth. Sirius was worse. He snatched James, Remus and Brigette's forks and was using hyper speed to shovel the food in.

They were both at the last morsel of food when Victoria shoved it into her mouth first—her mouth bulging with food.

"I'm DONE!" She shouted triumphantly, standing up, her huge mouth trying to chew the huge amount of food that was in her mouth.

Yet, it sounded more like, 'Fine Fun' than what she was trying to say, and she sprayed food on Chrissie Eleward's hair.

Victoria gave a big swallow, laughed and said, "IN YOUR FACE BLACK!"

Sirius scowled. "Rematch tomorrow, Michaels!"

"Your on!"

Victoria sat back down in her seat, triumphant and helped herself to seconds.

Lily shook her head, bemused. "Honestly, in the words of Natalia, 'what would your mother say?'"

Victoria cast a dark look. "Screw her and her prissy ways!"

Victoria's mother was the proper lady indeed. All the female Michaels were young ladies (besides Victoria) and it was a well known fact that Mrs. Michaels' despised Victoria for that reason.

Lily gave a tight smile and switched the subject. "Did you see the look on Sirius' face when you ate the last piece?"

Victoria's face broke into a grin. "Hell ya! And I plan to see it again tomorrow!"

As Lily and Victoria discussed plans, Brigette and James were having a heated discussion farther down.

"She's not even paying any attention to me," James hissed. "I thought this plan would be fool proof!"

"You thought of it!" Brigette's face was turning red. She hated it when people blamed her for things she never even did!
"Did you honestly expect her to fall at your feet the first sixty seconds?"

James nodded. "And it's not working!"

"Would you give it some time?" Brigette whispered angrily. "We need to act like we love," at this James cringed, "yes, I know. Disgusting, but we need to act like that or Lily will never be jealous."

"She's right mate," Sirius said in a low voice, still hurting after the losing match with Victoria. "You need to prove that you don't give a damn about her. You have to start acting lovey-dovey. You know, that shit that girls like."
"NO broom closets!" Brigette warned.

"Please, it's not like you've never been in their before! I've heard Lily yell at you countless times because of it!"

Brigette gave a sly smile. "Yes, I know. But trust me, I'd rather NOT snog you or make out with you for that matter. I'd DIE."
"Small kisses." Sirius offered.

Brigette rolled her eyes. "Like you'd know Black!"
"Hey, I'm just trying to help."
Brigette snorted but turned to James and said, "The best way to get her jealous is for the entire hall to know we're going out. Think of it, people—"

"Your fan club," Sirius coughed.

"Whatever. Anyway, people will be coming up to Lily and asking why you never went out with her—why you gave up. It'll shake her down!"

"What if she gets a boyfriend?" James hissed. "And falls in love with him?"
Brigette gave a wicked grin. "that won't happen—trust me. Now, I'm going to announce our 'relationship'," she made air quotes around the word, "to the public. Excuse me."

Standing on her chair she shouted, "Hey! Everyone! Look at me!"

Talking ceased in the hall as everyone turned to look at Brigette. Boys whistled and girls rolled their eyes. Honestly, what could Brigette Cleremont want to say?

"Yeah, well thanks for your attention! Well, I have great news! Me and James Potter," she added a girly giggle she was known for, "well, we're going out! We're totally in love!" She added another girly giggle for effect.

The hall just stared in disbelief. James Potter with Brigette Cleremont? Lily Evans' best friend?

Brigette giggled again and said, "Well, that's it!"

She sat down again and for good measures, planted a kiss on James' cheek (while shuddering on the inside).

The whole Hall was staring at Brigette and James now, and Lily, glad the spotlight was not on her, sipped her pumpkin juice.

"I'm glad I'm back." She said happily.

There! Chapter 3 is DONE, DONE and DONE! WOOT. Now we can see that Brigette is NOT very happy with James but that's ALL about to change!

Lily may not seem jealous now but wait a few more chapters cause it'll happen!

Also, I can't BELIEVE how many reviews I'm getting for this story! I'm getting at least 8 a day which is pretty good for me. That means you must really like my story! WOOT.
