Chapter 17-Remembering
Lily and all the other girls shot up in their beds as a high pitched scream was heard through out the entire Gryffindor Tower.
Suffie jumped up to, but the curtains were still drawn around her bed. She looked toward were Remus was, but he was already gone. She could tell he hadn't left to long ago though, she could still smell his usual cologne that she liked so much.
"Ah, nothing like a beautiful monday morning. The birds are chirping, the annoying gits are shrieking..." They all heard Natilda say enthusiastically while stretching. Lily yawned and changed into her uniform. She had finished putting her Gryffindor colored tie on when some one stormed out of the bathroom. Lily's eyes went wide and she dropped her school robe at the horrid sight.
"Oh...my...goodness..." Lily said, her voice a bit shaky as she held back laughter. Natilda put on an innocent look. Kerri stood there wearing her skirt and blouse. Her hair was a horrible purple color and all of her skin was a lavender color.
"Anyone..." Lindsey paused "else in the mood for something grape flavored? Seriously, like toast and grape jam?" They all looked at her and burst out into laughter. Lily had tears going down her cheeks she was laughing so hard.
"You all did this!" Kerri shrieked "All of you did it!"
"We did not!" Lindsey lied.
"You are all in so much trouble!" Kerri yelled.
"You have no proof!" Lily yelled back. Kerri screamed and stomped out of the room.
"Oh yeah! Well purple is so not your color!" Suffie screamed after her and slammed the door shut. They all watched Sonya quickly get dressed and leave after Kerri.
"Will you people shut the door!" Suffie yelled after her and shut it once again. They all laughed and got ready.
"Don't worry they'll both get what they deserve, that wasn't the end of it" Natilda said and walked out of the room.
"Hey Suf, do you think you could do my hair and makeup quick, please?" Lily asked. Suffie's face lit up.
"Of course!" She said. Suffie put some light, sparkly eye shadow on her. A little mascara and some lip gloss. She curled the tips of Lily's hair, also.
"Everyone, already left. Let's go to breakfast," Suffie said and they both left. They walked down into the common room to see Remus and James waiting for them.
"Thanks for waiting!" Suffie said giving Remus a peck on the lips.
"No problem," Remus said, grinning.
"Where's Sirius?" Lily asked.
"We don't know he said he had to go do something and then bolted up toward our dorm," James said as they walked into the Great Hall.
Lindsey watched Suffie to Lily's hair, everyone else had already left for breakfast. She stood up from sitting on the bed, deciding Suffie and Lily would just think she went down for breakfast. She walked out of the room and went down to the common room. She saw Sirius, Remus, and James there probably waiting for them. She noticed that only Sirius saw her. She nodded toward his dorm and he gave a slight nod. She ran up the stairs to his dorm. She ran in and felt a pair of hands wrap around her waist. She giggled and turned around to see Sirius.
"What if Kerri comes in?" Sirius asked.
"Oh, I don't think that will be happening any time soon," Lindsey said with a slight smirk.
"How come?" He asked.
"Well, Natilda is helping us get her back," Lindsey laughed.
"And?" Sirius said raising an eyebrow.
"She kind of turned totally purple," Lindsey said and gave a huge grin.
"You have made me proud," Sirius said, "want to know something?"
"Yea, sure," Lindsey answered.
"Remus wasn't here all night. I saw him sneak in this morning," Sirius said.
"Oh! I bet he was with Suffie, no wonder she had the curtains around her bed pulled!" Lindsey said.
"So let's get to breakfast okay?" Sirius said.
"I'm not hungry, can't we just hang out here till classes start?" Lindsey asked.
"Well I would say yes, but..." Sirius said.
"But what?" She asked confused.
"We got to go see if you made the Quidditch team! How could you forget?" Sirius laughed.
"How could I not with you around!" She said poking him in the chest. He gave her a quick kiss on the lips and they both ran out of his dorm.
"Well...Lindsey, Jenni...You two are the last ones I need to tell about the quidditch tryout results..." Thatz said.
"And!" Lindsey said.
"I would like to remind you, everyone tried their hardest and did a great job," Thatz continued.
"And!" Jenni said.
"No matter who makes it and who doesn't, everyone did an excellent job," Thatz said.
"AND!" Everyone (Lindsey, Jenni, Suffie, Lily, Natilda, and the Marauders, mind you) shouted anxiously at him.
"And what?" Thatz said. Suffie closed her eyes and breathed deeply.
"Did they make the team or not!" Suffie yelled as she stood up.
"Oh, that," He said nonchalantly "You both made the team." He stole a piece of toast off Suffie's plate, patted her on the head and walked away. Lily watched him walk away and sighed.
"I knew we'd both make," Lindsey said.
"Yeah, I did too," Jenni said.
"Liars! The both of you, we were the only ones who knew you'd make," James said.
"So I lack self esteem? I still made the team!"
"I agree with her" Lindsey said biting into a blueberry muffin. Lily swallowed a bite of her scrambled egg.
"We have to get to class soon, what do we do with the kneazles?" She asked.
"I say we tell the professors we can't go to classes because we have to watch over them!" Sirius said excitingly.
"You wish! I'm guessing we just let them be, they're intelligent creatures..." Remus said. They all turned to Natilda as she burst into a fit of giggles. She stopped when she noticed them all looking at her.
"Why are you laughing?" Suffie asked curiously.
"Heh, nothing at all. See you all later!" Natilda chuckled and skipped out of the Great Hall. They all stood up and walked out also, everyone except Jenni, Lindsey, and Sirius had Divination so they had to split up.
"I can't wait to see what she's up to," Lindsey said with a smile.
"Well I already know..." Sirius said.
"What? Tell me!" Lindsey said.
"I don't know, maybe I shouldn't," Sirius said teasingly.
"Come on, spill it!" Lindsey said punching him gently in the arm.
"Look straight ahead," He said pointing. She saw Sonya walking down the hall, with some friends, no Kerri in sight. She took a closer look and noticed something falling off the back of Sonya's head. She pulled Sirius so that they could get a closer look as they walked. She then realized giant locks of brown curls were falling off the back of Sonya's head.
"Merlin! Her hairs falling out!" Lindsey said under her breath to Sirius.
"I know that her and Kerri deserve this for what they've both done to us but...how come I can't help but feel guilty?" Lindsey asked.
"Don't worry, we won't let Natilda get to carried away, just some harmless pranking," Sirius said with a smirk. Lindsey nodded.
"This really is horrible. Not being able to hold your hand or kiss you in public that is..." Lindsey said.
"Come on! Let's just ditch this one class," Sirius whined as they got to the entryway of the Charms room.
"Sirius Black! Get off it, no skipping class today!" Lindsey teased and smiled at him as she pulled him into the classroom.
"Tomorrow?" He asked.
"No!" She giggled and took her seat.
Lily sat down with everyone at the Gryffindor table for lunch.
"Good now everybody is here, what happened Lindsey?" Suffie said.
"We saw Sonya," Lindsey said and laughed.
"And?" Remus asked.
"Her hair is falling out piece by piece thanks to a certain someone," Sirius said.
"Wasn't me I swear!" Natilda said.
"You know, she's getting ahead of us prank wise, James," Sirius said.
"No way, nothing to worry about," James said nodding his head toward the Slytherin table. They looked over and noticed Snape taking a sip of his drink. He suddenly dropped his goblet and started coughing. They looked on curiously until Snape pulled something out of his mouth. It seemed to be a rather big earthworm. It was either very long or had no end.
"Endless worm capsules," James said, "the worm won't ever end. I'm sure the nurse can figure our how to end it though" He snickered. They looked on to see Snape still pulling out the worm and Professor Arrowtop rushing him out of the Great Hall.
"He asked Lily out you know!" Suffie laughed.
"Suf!" Lily moaned. Remus, James, and Sirius burst out laughing.
"It's not funny! Besides he was just trying to get back at you James!" Lily said.
"Huh?" James said.
"I overheard him once in the halls, he's been trying to get back at you for some time now. I think he knew I was there though so he covered up by saying he really liked me, it's a long story but none of it matters! I'm going, have to get to class!" Lily said and ran off. The others started discussing how Suffie overheard McGonagall telling Kerri she'd be purple for a day or two more.
Lindsey and Sirius headed up toward Divination which they now had.
"How about the day after tomorrow?" Sirius said.
"No!" Lindsey said.
"How about the day after, the day after tomorrow?" He asked.
"How come?" Lindsey asked.
"Because I never get time to spend with you alone because of Kerri!" Sirius whined.
"Fine, follow my lead," Lindsey said as they sat down together in the stuffy Divination room.
"Today, we will be going over crystal balls. I don't expect much because it is very challenging and tricky but at least try, open you text books to page 207 on Crystal Ball reading," The professor said as everyone got started. She finally came to their table.
"Professor, I'm having a bit of a hard time interpreting this. Can you help?" Lindsey said.
"Of course. Gather around students to see how it is done," She announced. She looked deeply into the swirling mass inside the crystal ball. "I see so much. You lead a difficult life or chaos and hatred. I see you life becoming easier over the years but then..."
"Then what?" Lindsey asked pretending to be interested.
"You will die a horrible, gruesome death shortly after you graduate from Hogwarts!" She said. A few people rolled their eyes at the prediction. Lindsey fell back into Sirius's arms and pretended to faint.
"Poor girl," The professor said shaking her head solemnly.
"I'll take her to the nurse," Sirius said picking Lindsey up. The professor waved a hand in dismissal and Sirius went out of they room. He walked down the hall a bit.
"You little faker," Sirius said with a smirk.
"I'm the faker? She's the faker!" Lindsey said and threw her arms around Sirius's neck as he carried her. "I'm going to die after Hogwarts, sure," She said mockingly.
"Where are Sirius and Lindsey?" Lily asked as she bit into a warm biscuit.
"I don't know, I mean since when has Sirius missed Dinner? He loves food to much!" James said half jokingly.
"Merlin, I love food!" Sirius said as he dug into his plate that was full of chicken, potatoes, and other foods. They decided to sneak into the kitchens and eat. The house elves didn't seem to mind at all and greeted them happily.
"You are such a pig," Lindsey joked.
"Yes, maybe I am a pig...but I'm still sexy!" Sirius said while taking a sip of his pumpkin juice happily.
"Sure you are Black," Lindsey teased.
"Are you doubting my sexiness?" Sirius asked wide eyed.
"Of course not...maybe," Lindsey said standing up and running away.
"I'll get you for that!" Sirius said and ran after her. Lindsey ran until she made it out onto the grounds. She saw Sirius coming closer, giggled and kept running. As she neared the lake he tackled her and they both landed on the grass. Lindsey laughed more as he started tickling her. He stopped and they laid there staring up at the sky.
"I love Autumn," She said.
"Yea, it's pretty nice out," Sirius agreed.
"So, what do you want to do," Lindsey asked.
"This reminds me of what James told me about," Sirius said.
"What are you talking about?" Lindsey asked.
"Well James said he was laying on the roof of Lily's house with her and they started playing a game with the stars and they kissed," Sirius laughed.
"They kissed!" Lindsey shrieked.
"Okay, I'm guessing Lily never told you" Sirius said.
"They kissed!" Lindsey repeated.
"Yes, now moving on in our conversation and never repeated a word said in it again," Sirius said.
"How cute!" Lindsey said.
"Oh, well if kissing is that cute and makes you this happy!" Sirius said and then leaned over and kissed her.
"Where is Sirius?" A very purple Kerri shouted at James. Lily, James, Remus, and Suffie were up in James's and Remus's dorm playing exploding snaps on the floor and talking, that was until Kerri stomped in.
"We don't know! Now do you mind, hmm...what's the word, leaving!" Remus yelled. He wrapped his arm around Suffie tighter.
"Find Sirius, or maybe I'll tell your ruddy girlfriend your secret!" She screeched.
"Go the bloody hell ahead!" Remus sneered.
"Get Sirius now!" She yelled. James just sat there, deep in thought.
"James? What are you thinking about?" Lily asked as Kerri and Remus yelled more.
"I don't know, its just...there's something weird about this all," James said.
"Yeah, and I know just what it is!" Lily said standing up. "We have this annoying pest in the room still, that's what!" Lily walked over and shoved Kerri out of the room and then put a charm on the door as Kerri stood there pounding at it.
"She needs to get a life!" Suffie said and they went back to their game. A while later the pounding started up again.
"Kerri," Remus yelled "Get a clue! No one here cares about you not being able to find Sirius!"
"Oi, let me into my room Moony!" Sirius whined. Lily got up and undid the charm on the door. Sirius and Lindsey darted in and Sirius put the locking charm back on the door.
"That prat just does not give up, does she?" Sirius said.
"She's been pestering us for the last hour!" James complained.
"Where were you two?" Suffie asked.
"Oh, no where important," Lindsey said as they sat down and joined into their game of exploding snap. A few hours passed and everyone was tired.
"We should probably get to bed..." Lily said.
"You know what...our other room mates don't usually come back till late. We can keep the charm on the door and they'll think we're just mad at them for interrupting our sleep all the time and sleep down in the common room or something. I say we sleep up here on the floor with blankets, like when were at Lily's house," Remus said. "Suffie is already asleep any way." He said, motioning to Suffie who had fallen asleep against him.
"Sounds good to me," James agreed. He grabbed the blankets and pillows off the beds and everyone took one and got settled. When everyone seemed asleep, Sirius snaked an arm around Lindsey's waist. She giggled quietly and fell asleep.
"You asleep, Lils?" James whispered. Lily turned towards James and shook her head.
"Is it just me or is there a trend around here?" Lily said. James looked and saw Sirius with an arm around Lindsey and the same with Remus and Suffie. He nodded. He stood up.
"What are you..." Lily started but he shushed her. He went into Sirius's trunk and pulled out a familiar camera. Lily smirked as he laid back down next to her. He took his wand out and said a spell and then tapped the camera three times. There was a poof of smoke and the photos appeared in a neat pile. It was a wizard camera, and the photos were moving. James flipped through them all, Lily laughed and pointed at several of them. They got to the one of James and Remus in make up.
"That was fun to do," She giggled.
"Sure maybe for you!" James said poking her in the arm.
"Twice they got us to sleep together," Lily said shaking her head, but them became aware of what she had said and blushed. "Not that way! But...well you know what I mean!" Lily said flustered and totally embarrassed.
"Calm down! I know what you mean," He said with a smile. "Let's look at the rest in the morning, okay?" James said, Lily gave a nod. He brushed the hair out of her face as she fell asleep. He put his arm around her waist.
"Three times now, and without help this time", He said and closed his eyes.
"Only because I'm tired Potter," Lily mumbled. (AN- yep I know Lily said she liked someone else, but well she's having mixed feelings, hehehe yea, im crazy, hope you all understand )
Okay LOTS of things to say. First of all I'm sorry this took me a while to get out. I just haven't been able to write this chapter for some reason. Next, sorry if there are any typos, its 2:34 am and I got suddenly inspired to write lol. Also for all the KATIE/OLIVER shippers out there I've written one and I'm co-writing one right now. Here are the summary's to them:
The one I'm co-writing is called Some Thing More Then Quidditch, its under the name Moony2AndPadfoot2, the co author is LadyLupin1020: Katie and Oliver were the 'it' couple of Hogwarts. One wrong comment sent Katie out of Oliver's life. Seven years later, Oliver is lonely and pining over the one he lost so long ago. Will he and Katie be reunited? Read and review and you'll find out!
The one I'm writing is called What Lives Within:
Something evil is lurking throughout Hogwarts that none of the Professors are aware of. Katie Bell has been feeling its presence but no one seems to believe her. She starts hearing voices, seeing things, and feeling unusually tired. Some other students start getting the same effects as Katie. Who will help her and stop whatever is effecting her and the other students? Will the-boy-who-lived save everyone once again, or will it be Quidditch captain (and all around sexy guy) Oliver Wood? This is a Katie/Oliver story but may also have other pairings.
Anyway, Hope you liked this chapter! Please review!
