Chapter 10—Fallen Diary

Ever since that little 'chat' with Piper Pinelli in Transfiguration, Brigette Cleremont was never the same again.

Well, around Lily at the least.

She was colder towards Lily, she ignored her, she even started calling her 'Evans' when Lily wasn't around. She also started clinging to James even more, which annoyed the hell out of James. He never expected Brigette to be this clingy.

--

"God, she is so screwed up in the head!" James said, pacing in his room while Sirius ate a banana. "I mean, she's always around me!

"Maybe she's trying her hardest to make Lily jealous." Sirius said, chomping on his banana.

James shook his head. "It can't be that. She's clinging to me when Lily's not around. She's even started accusing me of cheating on her when we're in private."

Sirius snorted as she took the last bite of his banana and threw it on the ground. It really didn't matter because the room was already trashed.

James' eyes went wide. "You don't think she could actually—you know—like me—do you?"

Sirius, who had been busy chewing the last bite of his banana suddenly sat up and started coughing, his face turned bright red.

Finally, with the aid of James, Sirius stopped choking.

"You must be mad Prongs!" Sirius gasped, rubbing his chest as he took deep breaths. "Brigette, the female girl player of Hogwarts starting to like you? That's crazy talk!"

James smiled weakly. "Yeah. It is. Once you think about it. I mean, how many hearts has she broken?"

"Too many to count of." Sirius muttered.

James started calming down. Sitting down on his bed, he rumpled his hair and exhaled. "You're right Padfoot. I must be mad. Brigette liking me for real? Yeah right."

Oh how wrong he was.

--

"No, no, NO!"

Another colorful piece of clothing flew out of the wardrobe and fell on top of Victoria Michaels' head.

"Pfh." Victoria spat, taking the filmy piece of material off her head and throwing it on Mandy Everson's bed, whose whole bed was covered in clothing.

"Are you done yet?" Victoria asked, tapping her foot and checking her Cartier watch. "We were supposed to meet Lily five minutes ago!"

Brigette slightly scowled from the wardrobe as she put a red polo shirt on. Of course they had to meet perfect little Lily. Little Lily who just had to like her boyfriend.

Brigette pulled the polo shirt over her head and threw it over as it landed in a heap on the ground.

Victoria sighed. "Will you hurry up?" She snapped. "It's not like we're meeting James or anybody!"

Of course it is. Brigette thought as she snatched a chocolate brown shirt and paired it with a turquoise one. I need to remind Lily that I'm hotter than her and she has no chance with James at all.

Looking at herself, she threw on a blue jean A-line skirt and some flip-flops.

"There," Brigette said, coming out from the wardrobe and spinning around. "How do I look?"

"About time." Victoria said. "Let's jet."

"Not yet." Brigette said, disappearing into the bathroom. "I need my make up!"

"Blimey!" Victoria cried in exasperation. "We're not going to some fancy restaurant! We're just meeting Lils in the Heads Room so we can do our homework together!"

Brigette turned around and said, "Appearance is everything, Vicky."

Victoria scowled and checked her watch again. "Whatever. Anyway, I'm going. I'm not waiting any longer. I'll meet you there."

"Okay." Brigette said going into the bathroom. "Au revoir!" (sp?)

As she walked into the bathroom, she checked her appearance out. She looked gorgeous as usual. Her pale, milky skin was flawless, her crystal blue eyes gleamed and her white-blonde hair shone like a halo.

She grit her teeth as she remembered the conversation Lily had with Parker about her 'sorta' liking James. Psh! It was as if Lily thought that she was stupid! Brigette had more boyfriends than James Potter and Sirius Black had girlfriends combined!

Girls like Lily were like skim milk—you know, when you think you're fat and you drink it every day but eventually you get sick of it and go for a milk shake.

Brigette knew she was the milk shake. With whipped cream and a cherry on top.

--

God, Brigette is SUCH a girly-girl it's not even funny anymore. Something's wrong with her too.

Those were Victoria Michaels thoughts as she walked down the corridor to the Heads Room to meet Lily about their Potions homework.

Why all of a sudden Brigette HAS to look her best when going somewhere? Especially with Lily. I mean, it is not as if she is going to some huge party like meeting some rich wizard. That would be different.

As Victoria walked down the hall, she shook her head. Something was odd with Brigette now. It wasn't the way she dressed or anything or personality—hell no. She was still the same bubbly, boy-crazed airhead that Victoria had known since forever. No, it was the way she acted around Lily.

Victoria shook her head as she reached the Heads Room. "LE, JP." She said using the password that James created.

A door appeared and slowly slid open, letting Victoria enter.

--

Inside the Heads dormitory, in the Heads Common Room a fire roasted and sitting on the couch was none other than Lily Evans, who was busy scribbling away in a green leather diary that was perched in her lap.

Victoria looked at Lily, eyebrows raised.

"Lily?" She asked.

Lily looked startled as she slammed the diary shut in haste.

"Yes?"

"Since when do write in a diary?" Victoria teased.

"Since this past summer," Lily replied, locking up the diary. "Mum thought it would be good for me to put my thoughts on paper."

"Can I read it?" Victoria teased.

Lily clutched it to her chest and looked at Victoria, eyes wide open.

"No!" She cried, hanging onto it for dear life.

"I was just joking." Victoria laughed; plopping down next to Lily and throwing her Potions work down. "God, you're gullible."

Lily made a face as she slid down from the comfortable couch to the floor as she and Victoria put their stuff on the table and started to work.

About five minutes into the homework, Lily sat up and exclaimed, "Where's Brigette?"

"Most likely she's still primping." Victoria shook her head in disgust as she dotted the I in in. "Honestly she takes FOREVER when she's making herself look 'beautiful.'" Victoria put air quotes around the word, 'beautiful.' "I mean, it's not like she's gonna see James or anything!'

"I'll go check on her." Lily said cheerfully, standing up and stretching.

"Noo!" Victoria whined. "I still don't get all this crap! Help mee!"

"Stop being such a baby." Lily scolded, picking up her diary. "I'll be back soon."

--

Lily walked down the corridor towards Gryffindor Tower, smiling slightly. Knowing Brigette, she would be making her hair as beautiful as possible, just in case there were any cute guys (that she didn't date) around.

Soon, she got to the portrait of the Fat Lady.

"Password?" The Fat Lady asked.

"Fortuna Major." Lily replied confidently.

The Fat Lady swung open letting Lily climb in.

Stepping inside the Gryffindor Common Room, Lily smiled to herself. It looked just the same as it did last year.

A fire was crackling merrily in the fire pit and students were doing homework, playing Exploding Snap, Wizards Chess or Gobstones, or sleeping.

Laughing Lily walked on over to the marble staircase and walked up it to the girls dormitory.

Finding her old dormitory, Lily pushed the door open. "Brigette?" She asked attentively. "Brigie? It's me—Lily."

Stepping inside the room she crossed over Mandy Everson's bed and Eliza Montgomery's bed and went to the bathroom, knowing that was Brigette's haven.

Opening up the door a crack she said, "Brigette?"

Her voice echoed through the bathroom and it seemed as if a million Lily's were calling her friend's name.

"Yes?" A voice from behind her asked.

Whirling around, Lily saw Brigette with her books in her arms.

"There you are!" Lily laughed. "Good, Victoria was getting worried."

Brigette smiled but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

"Well, let's go!" Lily said, walking out the dormitory and down the marble steps.

In her haste, she dropped her diary onto the ground—not knowing that many people could read it.

People that she didn't want to read her diary.

--

Damn that girl. Why does she always have to intrude on me? I didn't WANT to go study with Lily!

Those were Brigette's thoughts the next day as she marched off to lunch.

Acting like my own mother, bossing me around. Who does she think she is?

In her anger and frustration, she didn't hear somebody calling her name.

"BRIGETTE!"

Turning around she found (to her delight) her boyfriend run over to her.

"Hi Jamie." She cooed, giving him a kiss on the cheek. "Care to join me for lunch?"

"Sorry, but Sirius, Remus and I are planning another prank."

"Oh," Brigette looked crestfallen for a second but perked up and said, "So, what do you want? I know you didn't up here to say hi."

"Do you know who this belongs to?" James thrust a green leather diary at Brigette. "I found it on the Common Room floor when I went in there to discuss plans with Sirius and Remus."

Brigette cocked an eyebrow as she took the diary and inspected it. Suddenly her face paled as she realized whom the diary belonged to. How could James not have noticed whom it belonged too!

Lily Evans.

Brigette clutched the diary to her chest. "Oh! It's mine! Must have dropped it yesterday!" She lied.

James nodded, oblivious to her lying. "Well okay. See you around."

"Bye Jamie!" Brigette waved and smiled until he left. Then, a frown etched onto her face.

Let's see what perfect little Lily wrote about today?

Brigette tried to open it but noticed the lock on it.

Rolling her eyes, she took out her wand and muttered, "Alohamora!"

The lock sprang open and Brigette rolled her eyes again. Muggles, they honestly think that a stupid little lock would stop wizards and witches from reading private thoughts!

Flipping open to the latest entry Brigette read:

October 1, 1977

I'm feeling quite funny right now. No, I'm not sick, I think I just might be falling for James Potter! I mean, its strange isn't it? I hate him, and then I like him! I guess it has something to do with him and Brigette. He also stopped pulling pranks (in front of me), annoying me and asking me out. I don't know, he's matured—somehow.

But what do I do? Do I tell him? NO! Not that! He'd probably laugh and say in a cruel voice, "Too late Evans."

It would break B's heart too if she ever found out.

Therefore, I'm not going to say a word, yet I can't help but FLIRT.

Love,

Lily

Brigette gasped and turned bright red. Why that little—!

--

It was after dinnertime.

Lily, who had enjoyed a humorous lunch (with another Victoria-Sirius competition and this time Sirius won) was in a good mood right now.

As she reached the Heads Room, she noticed something green on the ground.

"My diary!" She exclaimed. "How in the world did it get there?"

Picking up the diary she found a note taped to the front:

L—Found your diary. B.C.

Lily smiled. "Thanks Brigette!" She said aloud, saying the password and walking inside thinking, Who could ask for a better friend than Brigette?

--

It was near evening time as Lily climbed into bed.

Snuggling down into the covers, Lily reached over to her bedside table and picked up her diary and pen.

Propping up on some pillows, Lily flipped open to the last entry and gasped as she read what was in it.

STAY AWAY FROM JAMES, YOU SLUT.

Lily's face turned bright red. So. That's how she wanted to play? Fine.

Let the war begin.

--

And there my readers—the drama heats up. Yes I no, I no. Took forever and I'm TERRIBLY sorry.

And yes I no that this chapter was up in a day but I was really looking forward to this chapter for a LOONG time!

Until next week!
