Chapter 9
Lily and Kristi walked the streets of Hogsmeade talking and shopping like they would normally do at home. They both found it incredibly irritating when people kept staring at Lily as if she had grown an extra head. Several shopping bags hung by their sides, mostly of clothing, swaying as they walked. They had had several encounters with the people Lily had went to school with, some almost friendly others how ever...
"It's cold." Kristi complained.
Lily rolled her eyes. "Come on, you'll get warmed up at the Three Broomsticks." Lily said, crossing the streets to where a tiny inn sat.
When they entered Lily nearly got stepped on, considering it was extremely crowded and noisy, but warm. She looked around the room for a place to sit, hoping to spot a vacant sit. Kristi came up behind her and looked around, she shook her head, her dark hair shaking as she did so.
"Is it always this crowded and noisy?" Kristi asked, raising her voice some so she could be heard.
Lily nodded her head. "But I don't see why your complaining, your louder then this." Lily teased, but was serious all the same. She finally spotted a booth in the very corner close by the fireplace, one she used to sit at all the time in her Hogwarts days. "See that booth there? Go be a doll and get it, I'll get us something to drink."
"And eat?" Kristi asked.
Lily rolled her eyes good naturedly. "Yes and eat."
"Ok." Kristi said and made her way across the room, careful not to run into anyone.
Lily walked up to the bar and leaned against it, waiting for someone to come and get her order. She tapped her finger against the top while she waited, sometimes looking at the people sitting and standing around. Most of them were here for the reunion, much like her. She was especially glad that Potter and his posse wasn't there, she might be able to get a moments peace.
"Yes what can I get you my dear?" Lily turned around and was greeted by a warm smile. Lily quickly told her what she wanted, and then walked over to where Kristi sat.
"Where's our drinks?" Kristi asked.
Lily looked back at the bar. "She's getting them. She'll bring them over here." Lily told her.
Kristi nodded her head and watched the people in the inn interact with the others. After a few moments their drinks arrived and was placed in front of them. Kristi said thank you and looked at her drink after she had left.
"Uh... what is this?" She asked.
Lily took a drink and smiled. "Butterbeer. It's delicious." Lily laughed at Kristi perplexed look. "It's not poison."
Kristi slowly took a drink of it. "Hey this is good."
Lily laughed. "Moron."
Kristi put a hand to her chest and faked hurt. "I'm wounded. "
Lily rolled her eyes. "Sure ya are doll."
Kristi rolled her eyes and glanced toward the door and raised an eyebrow. "Hey look, it's your favorite people." She said with mock cheeriness.
Lily looked confused, and turned her head to look at who had just walked in. She frowned and turned back to Kristi. "They are in no way my favorite people. They will never, not in a million years be my favorite people."
Kristi smirked. "You really hate them don't you? But that was a little cold, you know what you said to the short fat guy that sorta looks like a rat."
Lily gave her a weird look. "Kristi if you only knew him you'd know why I said that. And you can't possible feel sorry for him. I mean don't you feel like something's crawling all over you when your around him?" Lily asked.
Kristi looked confused. "Don't you feel that way around all of them?" She asked.
Lily shook her head. "No. With the other three its just like, I hate them. But with him... He gives me the creeps, he makes my skin crawl. I get a really bad vibe when I'm around him. Its like a gut feeling that... that he's bad news."
Kristi glanced over at the four young men at the bar. "Well suga, you haven't ever been wrong before when you felt like this." Kristi looked back at her. "Remember when you said you had a bad feeling about that Crepol guy." At Lily's confused look she rolled her eyes.
"The one who had girls to model for him." Lily frowned and nodded her head. "You told me you had a bad feeling about it, and of course-"
"You didn't listen and went to his house to model anyways." Lily deadpanned.
Kristi nodded. "Yea, exactly."
"And then he tried something on you and you laid the smack down on his ass." Lily said.
Kristi nodded. "You weren't wrong about that. You got a thing about knowing if people are up to no good."
Lily shrugged. "What's that got to do with anything?"
Kristi gave a patronizing look. "You're a little on the slow side aren't ya?" She teased.
Lily mock glared at her. "Listen girl all I'm saying is if you feel like he's bad news, then he probable is." Lily nodded pushing her silky tresses out of her face. "So what do you feel toward the others?"
"Simple, I want to beat Potters ass."
"Never knew you were that obsessed with my ass Evans. Though I know why you would be, I do have a wonderful ass."
Lily eyes opened wide. She slowly turned around in her set and looked up at James who was leaning against her booth looking down at her. "There is no way that I am or ever will be obsessed with you," She said and saw him open his mouth and quickly added, "or your ass. If you can even call it that."
James smirked, his dark chocolate eyes not giving away anything. "That hurt Evans, and here I was hoping to have a nice little chat with my dear old friend."
At that time, Sirius showed up. Sirius looked at Kristi and gave her a seductive smile. Kristi raised an eyebrow and gave Sirius one of her own. Her dark eyes met his crystal blue ones and sparks flew. Sirius slid in the seat that Kristi was sitting at. They ignored the heated fight between Lily and James.
"So Kristi, that's a lovely name." Sirius told her, turning on the Black charm.
Kristi raised an eyebrow. "Thanks. What was your name again? Sirius wasn't it? That's an unique name." Kristi said, turning the Kristi charm on.
Sirius chuckled and in a husky voice that drove females crazy said, "I'm a very unique person."
Kristi smirked and started to run a finger over the top of his hand. "I bet you are."
Sirius and Kristi stared at each other. Sirius was lost in the brown orbs that seemed to swallow him up. "I didn't catch what school you went to?"
"'Cause I never said." Kristi replied.
Someone cleared their throats getting Kristi and Sirius' attention. They looked over at Lily and James. James looked amused, where else Lily glared at Kristi slightly.
"I think its time to go." Lily said her voice wavering in anger, giving Kristi the look.
"Move." Kristi said. Sirius moved out of her way, letting her slide out.
Lily slid out of the booth sending a death glare at James, who returned it, before walking away from them, with Kristi behind her. When they were outside a sharp wind whipped at their faces. Lily quickly walked down the street, her hair flying out behind her. Kristi followed, neither one talking as they walked. Finally Kristi grabbed Lily's arm and pulled her to a stop.
Lily stopped and looked at Kristi with a raised eyebrow. Her emerald eyes burned with anger and her body was stiff. Kristi let go of her arm and Lily pushed her hair out of her face.
"What?" Lily asked.
Kristi rolled her eyes and looked amused. "For one slow down and for second where are we going, the school's back that way." Kristi said indicating the correct direction with her thumb.
Lily looked back at Hogwarts and rolled her eyes. "I wanted to blow of some steam. And if you would have been listening instead of flirting with Black, one of the biggest womanizers and biggest flirt and sex manic to be born." Lily said clearly frustrated.
"Oh and not to mention he made my life a living hell." Lily said sarcastically. "How could you flirt with him?" She asked stressing the word him.
Kristi looked at her friend sympathetically and looped her arm through Lily's. "Never thought I'd see the day Ren O'Neill loose her cool."
Lily gave Kristi the look and Kristi rolled her eyes. "Listen, I'm backing you up 100% in this whole revenge against your classmates thing, and I thought, you know I could play around with Sirius' head." She explained.
Lily didn't say anything for a moment. "Kristi two to one he probable has the same idea."
Kristi shrugged. "Then I guess he'll be beat at his own game. Besides who said revenge couldn't be fun?"
Kristi grinned and Lily rolled her eyes. "Fine do whatever." Lily finally gave in.
"You know you and Potter, definitely some-"
Lily glared at her. "Don't you even."
"I'm just saying-"
"Don't." Lily warned. Kristi chuckled and continued walking down the street with Lily.
(The Three Broomsticks)
James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter sat in the booth that Lily and Kristi had been sitting at recently. They talked quietly among themselves, Sirius once in a while smiling at an attractive girl when she went past.
"Why did Evans have to come back?" Peter sulked, still wounded by what she had said yesterday.
Sirius clapped Peter on the back. "Cheer up Petey, at least her friend is hot and doesn't bite off your head when you talk to her." He said perkily.
Peter still sulked, slouching over his drink. He didn't seem to think it was any better just because Lily had brought along Kristi.
"Padfoot, did you look at Evans?" Remus asked stunned.
Sirius nodded. "Yup, I looked at her alright.
"She isn't exactly an ugly duckling any more." Remus said, putting it in nicer terms.
Sirius rolled his eyes. "Indeed she isn't. It seems our dear little Evans has grown up." James muttered.
"When was she ever little?" Peter asked.
"Well besides now... never." Sirius said.
Remus and James rolled their eyes. "It was a figure of speech." Remus said.
Sirius shrugged and took a drink from his mug. "Anyways what's the point? So what Evans is hotter then practically all of the woman here for the reunion."
"She's the ice queen." Peter put in. "Nothing but pure rage she is." He muttered. "But why'd she have to come back?" He complained.
"She has a right to be here, just like any of us." Remus pointed out. "She did attend Hogwarts and was Head Girl."
"Not that anyone noticed or cared." James put in.
"What is the point? And why are we talking about Evans?" Sirius asked.
"Peter was complaining because of what she said."
"I wasn't complaining!"
"Sure thing Wormtail." James said.
Peter sunk in his set and crossed his arms. The other three ignored him and went back to their conversation.
"Her friend, Kristi, now she is hot." Sirius told them. "And she's not a bitch. She'd be easy to snag."
"Is that all you think about Sirius?" Remus asked.
Sirius raised an eyebrow. "Isn't is what you think about?"
"Of course, but I do think about other things unlike someone."
James rolled his eyes at his two best friends. Those two were always having a friendly bicker about something. It was quite amusing at times, but at other times it was quite annoying. He cleared his throat, drawing Sirius and Remus' attention to him. He raised an eyebrow at them and they both grinned.
"Sorry Prongs, got a little carried away." Sirius apologized.
James smirked. "Just a little."
"Back to the subject."
"Why are we even talking about that ice bitch?" Peter asked for a second time.
Remus and Sirius smirked. "Because Prongs thinks its time for a change and is going after the hard to get ones."
Peter choked and stared wide eyed at his three friends who were looking at him clearly amused.
"You ok?" James asked.
Peter's mouth moved up and down until finally he found his voice. "You want to fuck Evans?" He said, his voice showing what he thought of the idea; repulsive.
"Wormtail did you look at our little red headed vixen?" James asked.
Peter's face twisted. "But you hate her!"
Remus snorted. "Obviously that doesn't matter. Remember Arabella and Sirius? Those two were always together and they positively hated each other to the very core."
"Yes, but Arabella was different. She wasn't a fat pig, a loner, a freak, or your arch nemesis." Peter shrieked. "Well except for the last part." He added.
"The man wants what he wants." James said as if it was simple.
Peter still looked disgusted by the idea. "What about Crystal? I thought you two were still together?"
James shrugged. "What she doesn't know won't hurt her... besides Crystal was and is easy to get. I could get her back in two seconds. I can make her do anything with a snap of my fingers. I'm not in the least worried." He said confidently.
"She won't like this."
"Whose going to tell her?" Sirius asked. "Besides if James get Evans in bed, that means I have an even better chance with Kristi."
Peter shook his head. "This is wrong on so many levels James. It's disgusting."
James shrugged and turned his attention away from Peter. He didn't care what Peter thought. He would get Lily Evans in his bed. He had a month to do it in. He would try everything he had, because he knew it wouldn't be an easy task to get the red head, after all she was different.
