Hey, me again. Thanks to the people who reviewed and told me to continue! ;) It really helped. And if there are any suggestions to anything I messed up, please tell me. Thanx!
PS: Just so you know, I've decided that Lily and Remus are actually friends and Lina gets along with just about everybody, even the Marauders. Kay?
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter but I do own Lina, Laura, Nikki, and Justin
Once the girls got into their room, they quickly put up pictures and posters of their favorite bands, quidditch teams, and families all over the walls. Once they were done, they got into their pajamas and got ready for bed. They began talking once they got into their beds.
"So Lily. What are you gonna tell James?" Laura looked at her curiously. Lina and Nikki rolled their eyes at her. They knew exactly what Lily was going to say.
"I'm going to say no of course. It's just a prank. The Marauders are just going to embarrass me in front of everyone. I mean, it's not like Potter actually means it." Lily scoffed.
At this Laura and Nikki glanced at each other. Laura had stayed over Nikki's house for a week over the summer and during that time, they had actually got to know the Marauders a bit. They still hated them but they had found that James actually did like Lily quite a lot. Since third year in fact. The boys hadn't told them of course; the girls had been spying on them when the conversation of liking Lily had come up.
But they had been just as surprised as Lily and Lina that he even asked for her to go out with him.
Laura decided to go out on a limb and quietly said, "I don't know Lily. I think he might have meant it." Nikki nodded in agreement. "Yeah. Who knows?"
Lily looked at her two friends like they each had grown two heads. "You've got to be kidding me right?"
Lina looked thoughtful. "Actually Lily, now that they mention it, James isn't as bad as you make him. He offers to give me advice all the time during quidditch…"
"Whatever. I'm going to bed now."
The next morning, Lily woke up first. Quietly as not to wake her friends, she took a shower and got changed into her school robes. Then, she went to wake the others. Laura and Nikki were no problem; Lina on the other hand was proving to be a little difficult…
"I don't wanna get up!" Lina screamed and went under her bed, falling asleep under it within a few seconds.
Nikki and Laura looked at each other. Nikki quietly went to the door and "knocked" on it. Laura got up and "answered" it exclaiming loudly "Oh! Hello JUSTIN! Here to see Lina? Well, I'm afraid she's still asleep but I'll tell her you came by." Lina quickly rolled out from under the bed fixing her messy hair. "I'M UP! I'M UP!" Nikki, Laura, and Lily started cracking up. Lina looked confusedly (A/N: is that even a word…? O well) and didn't see Justin anywhere. She then realized what they had just done.
"You're so mean…" She glared at them. They just kept laughing. "…which is why I'll be taking the bathroom now!" she said quickly and grabbing her clothes, ran into the bathroom locking it behind her. Nikki and Laura stopped laughing instantly and ran towards the door banging on it.
"LINA!" "LET US IN! YOU TAKE FOREVER IN THE BATHROOM!"
You could hear Lina laughing through the door way. "Not my problem!"
30 minutes later……………
Lina came out of the bathroom humming to herself with her hair in a pony tail and a little bit of make up. Nikki and Laura came running up to her.
"LINA! Now me and Nikki only have 10 minutes to get ready!"
"Well, you should've thought of that before you played that trick on me you evil little crabs." (A/N: Told ya she was crazy. Refer to Ch.1)
Nikki just rolled her eyes. "Whatever. We're just wasting more time yelling at each other." Nikki then went into the bathroom and came out 5 minutes later letting Laura run in.
When Laura came out and finished getting ready, the girls ran to the Great Hall for breakfast. However, they were stopped in the common room by a certain trio of boys.
The Marauders.
The girls glared at them while the boys just ignored them. (A/N: the glares, not the girls)
"Ah! Good morningeth to thou fair maidens! How areth thou?" asked Sirius.
The girls responded by rolling their eyes and walking past them. However, the girls were stopped once again by James standing in front of Lily.
"What do you want Potter?" Lily asked hotly, although she already knew what he wanted. James gave her one of his award winning smiles which went unnoticed by Lily.
Ignoring this, James reminded her," About last night. What will it be?"
"What do you think?"
James smile grew a little. "Yes, you'll go with me to Hogsmeade?"
Lily stared back at him. "No. More like, never in a million years."
And with that, she went around him with her friends right behind her, leaving a slightly hurt James.
He was interrupted from his thoughts by Sirius. He gave James a sympathetic look. "Sorry mate."
James quickly regained himself and shrugged. "Oh well. Maybe next time."
Remus gave him a confused look. "Next time? You mean you're going to ask her again?"
"Of course I am. I wont stop till she says yes." James replied cheerfully.
Remus shook his head in exasperation. "One of these days, you're going to get yourself killed."
This warning went unnoticed by James who, by this time, was wrestling Sirus to the floor of the common room for one reason or another. Remus rolled his eyes and walked out the common room to get some breakfast.
'My friends can be SOOO idiotic sometimes…'
That night, Lily flopped onto her bed exhausted. The first day back had been very hectic as usual. And it hadn't helped when the Daily Prophet had come and announced the Lord What's-His-Name had attacked another innocent family. These attacks had begun last year towards the end of May and the Ministry hadn't stopped them yet.
Lily sighed. 'At least my family is safe…He's only been attacking pure-blood families and he doesn't even know anything about me.'
Throughout the day, Lily and her friends had gone through their schedules. They were in almost all the same classes and couldn't be happier! Though, unfortunately the Marauders were in almost all their classes too. All day, Lily could feel Potter's stare. It had very nerve wracking.
Other than that, the day had gone by quite slow. All the classes had been just telling them what to expect throughout the year and what to bring and blah-blah-blah.
She had rushed through her dinner, wanting to get back to the room to start on some light reading on subjects they would do this following year. Her friends had decided to take their time, seeing no reason why they should rush through dinner just to be prepared for something they would learn in a few months.
An hour later, Lily could hear yells and cheers coming down from the common room. Curious, she put her book aside on her side table, got up, and went down the stairs to the common room. Lily came across Lina and Sirius yelling things to each other separated by a line. Almost all the boys were on Sirius' side and almost all the girls on the Lina's.
"Well yo mama's so poor, I walked into your house, stepped on a penny and she yelled 'Get off paycheck'!"
"Yo mama's so fat, every time she wears high heels, she strikes oil!"
"Yo mama's so ugly, I went to a haunted house and saw her coming out with a job application!"
"Yo mama's so stupid, she ordered her sushi well done!"
Lily just stared at the site of two 16 year olds yelling back and forth 'Yo mama' jokes and the people on each side rooting them on. She saw Remus by the wall and went up to him. "What the hell is going on?"
Remus glanced at her. "Apparently, Sirius over heard Lina joking around and challenged her to a joke off. Lina couldn't say no and now, I'm stuck being the judge."
"Oh…" Lily stared as the two kept throwing jokes at each other.
"Oh really? Well yo mama's so old, she took her driver's test on a dinosaur!"
That one ended it and Remus declared it was a tie between Lina and Sirius.
Sirius ran over to Remus not noticing Lily and started fake crying. "NO! I never lose! I wanna win Moony! I wanna win!"
Lily took this chance to slip away to where Laura and Nikki were standing by the fire. Remus gave her a 'help me' look as Sirius started hugging him and asking why he hadn't won. Lily gave him a 'sorry your on your own look' and made her way over to Laura and Nikki.
"Sirius, good job!" Lina came running over to Sirius. "Though next time I'm joking around with my friends, don't make a contest out of it." She gave him an exasperated look.
"But then, how else are we going to entertain the entire Gryffindor tower?" Sirius joked and put on a pout.
Lina and Sirius both thought for a second and then smiled big smiles.
Lina smiled mischievously. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"If it involves the astronomy tower or the Great Lake, I'm in." Sirius' smile widened as well as Lina's.
"Friday. After dinner. Meet here."
"Oh. You're on." And after giving each other smug looks both turned around to go back to their own groups.
As soon as Lina was , Lily just stared at her and said to Nikki. "How much sugar did she have at dinner? As in, DESSERT?"
Nikki shook her head as they continued to watch a laughing Lina with some 7th years. "I lost count after the third piece of apple pie with vanilla ice cream and two dozen cookies she had."
Laura shook her head. "This is going to be a long night…"
How was it? This is my longest chapter yet! Remember, I appreciate all reviews! And thanx again to everyone who got me to continue:)
