I'd like to thank evey one who has reviewed this story! thank you so much, your reviews made my day!
I would also like to mention what "Sunkissed Italian" said. I know realised that it sounded like was James was Muggle born in one chap then not in the other. I just have to say that is all explained later in the story and forms part of the plot so I don't want to say to much. If you still want to know I'll tell you but it all comes together in the end so just hold on!
Thanks again to every who is reading this story but a special thanks the the reviewers!
Disclaimer: Lily, James and Sirius as much as I would like them to, do not and never have belonged to me. Bridget and Morrigan (who makes her first appearance in this chapter) are my original creations! Morgan le Fay is also not mine.
Chapter 5: Hormones?
Lily's Side
"What the hell was that?"
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. What was that? I really don't know, there was just something about him that made me angrier then I had any right to be.
Cool it Lily; remember revenge is a dish best served cold.
"Lily Evans you better answer me because I'm afraid that you might be having a nervous break down, I know you better then anyone and that was not you back there! I was afraid you were going to punch him out or something, I can tell you've started something and now there's no going back" I opened my eyes and saw the frustration in Bridget's face.
"What were you thinking? Where you thinking? Have you completely lost your mind this time? If you act like that with every one we won't just have no friends we'll be known to all as that crazy redhead and her daft friend." I knew she wouldn't stop until she got an answer.
"Hormones?" I suggested lamely, and in spite of her anger she smiled.
"I really don't know it was like… " but I just couldn't describe it, it was kinda like I had know him for years and the rage had been boiling inside of me.
"Well, let just go to the bathroom and then if you still behave like that at least I can splash water on you to cool you down."
So of we went and I tried to put James out of my head but for some reason I just couldn't. Bridget was talking to me but I didn't take in a word she said. I couldn't get the picture of James out of my head, the look in his eyes as he looked at me, there was something there but I couldn't tell what it was!
I was so absorbed in my own thoughts that I didn't see her coming until I was lying flat on my back.
A girl had suddenly exited her compartment and I had run into her.
"I'm so sorry!" a melodious voice called from above "do you think she's ok, she doesn't quiet look with it?"
"No, that's what she was looking like before." Bridget said sadly.
I grabbed a hand that was offered to me and got back on my feet, only to nearly fall over again.
I blinked several times but the smiling face remained the same, but that just wasn't possible.
I looked as the chocolate frog card in my hand, and then back at the smiling girl I had just ran into.
She looked exactly like the picture of Morgan le Fay, and I am not exaggerating this time. The only difference was that the picture was in medieval clothing and the girl in front of me wore a yellow sports jacket with red, blue and black stripes.
"I see that you have noticed the family resemblance." She glanced at the card.
"Oh, well it's kinda hard to miss." I said sheepishly. There was something about this girl; she gave of a sense of power.
"Morrigan LaFay, pleased to meet you, and sorry about running into you, I'm not the most graceful person, and in case you were wondering Morrigan is the Celtic form of Morgan" She smiled, she had pure white skin which made her perfect crimson lips stand out, her eyes looked catlike and appeared to be an amber colour. She had delicate features but I could tell there was nothing delicate about her personality. She had long silky black hair that framed her face; the semblance to Morgan le Fay was stunning. I could tell that she you be the one the boys would all drool over.
"Lily Evans, no famous relations I'm afraid and this is my best friend Bridget Allenbea."
"Well, what are you all doing just standing around here? Lets go, where you sitting?" and with out waiting for a reply she headed of in the direction we had come from, talking non-stop.
For few minutes I was totally engrossed my Morrigan's conversation, she'd start talking about one thing then suddenly go of on some obscure tangent. And for a few minutes I forgot why we had left our own compartment, but as we reached the door it all came back to me.
"Wait!" I hissed, Morrigan was just about to turn the handle. "Are they still in there?" I whispered.
"Who? And why are we whispering?" replied Morrigan.
"Them! James and the other one. Are they in there?" I peered into the compartment and saw the two of them sitting and talking, luckily they weren't looking at the door.
"Everybody down!"
We hit the ground hard, Morrigan landed a little harder then us and she swore under her breath, rubbing her injured shoulder. "It's all good, I'm Ok" she winced.
I pressed I ear to the door and could faintly hear them talking.
"Why are we hiding?" Morrigan demanded in a hushed voice "And whose James" she added giving me a sly wink.
"Nobody!" I hissed "I just don't want to talk to him, I hate him." Once I said those words it seemed to make me angrier.
"So that's why you were running away." Said Morrigan, she quickly jumped up and looked into the compartment. When she arrived back at our level she said "Why are you running away from them?"
"I wasn't running away I was…just…"
"Making a hasty departure?" offered Bridget.
"It looked like running away to me." Morrigan looked at me with those catlike eyes and I wondered if she could read minds too.
"Ok, I was, but I didn't plan on it, he just…" but what he did I couldn't say, because I didn't know myself.
"Come on, your not going to let him win are you?" asked Morrigan
"What do you mean?" whispered Bridget
"If you don't go back in there, if you let him know that he's getting to you, and then he's won, he's stronger then you and once he knows he's stronger…." She made it sound like if that happened the earth would implode on itself or something. Still what she said made sense.
"Alright, on the count of three!"
"Now, make sure when you go in there act like nothing happened, act like you own the place, saunter in there, saunter in there like a star, don't shuffle don't waddle don't dawdle, strut your stuff. You got me?" Morrigan looked from me to Bridget, and then smiled; it was a smile that made me think that she could easily execute plans every bit as cunning and devious as her ancestor the scheming Morgan le Fay.
"One" said Bridget, we stood up and smoothed out our clothes.
"Two" said Morrigan, we fixed up our hair, a hair flick or two never went astray.
I took a deep breath, I could feel the anger rising though I still didn't really know why; keep your cool this time I told myself. I looked at Bridget and she smiled encouragingly, she was always there when I needed her. I looked to Morrigan and something in her smile told me that I had just made a life long friend. With friends like this, he would never be able to win.
"Three."
