Chapter 4: Monday Part II
From the Transcript File of Indiana the Inconspicuous
Time: 10.45am
Situation: Third Floor, west wing corridor
G Girl with long red hair and emerald green eyes
B Boy with gorgeously messy black hair, sparkling hazel eyes and glasses
G runs breathlessly into corridor sounding as though close to having a breathing failure with B jogging and following closely behind.
G looks back to see empty corridor and relaxing her shoulders slightly, bends over forward to get her breath back. I don't understand… how can someone have absolutely no control over their breathing? Maybe she hasn't exercised in 7 years…She must have a high metabolism if she hasn't though because she definitely isn't overweight
B looks at her through glasses and after a pause, moves closer and starts to massage her shoulders gently, a worried expression on his face that fades as he sees her begin to regain control of her breathing.
B: Merlin, Lily, are you alright?
G straightens her body so that she is standing properly.
G: (Mutters and cheeks redden slightly) Fine. (after a pause) You can stop Potter. I'm fine – just a little on edge.
B does not stop rubbing her shoulders.
G: (Firm with a hint of impatience) Potter, please stop. What if someone saw?
B: There's nothing to see, Lily, so why does it matter?
B still does not stop rubbing her shoulders.
G: POTTER! ENOUGH!
B reluctantly stops rubbing her shoulders and G turns around to face him with her arms crossed in front of her.
B: What is this all about?
B does not sound in the least bit annoyed. Maybe, he's accustomed to G's tone of voice with her short temper.
G: I couldn't stand Potions for a second longer They ran all the way from the dungeons? B must be quite fit… I was getting the urge to hex Slughorn – he was driving me insane!
B: Oh.
B looks relieved but at the same time, a little disappointed.
G gives him questioning look.
B: Uh… So there's no Heads meeting?
G: No, Potter. There's no Head's meeting. (Giving a quick smirk) Sorry.
G turns and starts to walk away.
B: Lily, wait!
G stops and turns around half-way, her eyebrow raised slightly in a questioning manner.
B: Where're you going?
G: Well, first, to the hospital wing to get something for this pounding headache that I've had since transfiguration and then to my dorm to scrounge some desperately needed chocolate.
B: Oh.
G: See you later.
G turns away.
B: Lily – oh, never mind.
G: (still facing other direction) Thanks for helping, Potter.
B blinks in surprise.
G exits corridor perhaps to go to hospital wing?
B does not see the increasingly darkening blush on her cheeks.

A pointless scrap of paper recording the probably-pointless musings of James Potter
Time: 10.47am
I think something is wrong with my brain…
Since when am I so damn speechless that I sound like a nutcase?
What happened to in-control, charming, suave James?
Note:
Must remember to 'talk' to Alice… stationary is starting to annoy me… what happened to the plain and un-embarrassing idea of 'Musings of James Potter'?

Hospital Wing: Student Record

Desperately need chocolate.
Maybe that will make this day look brighter… need endorphins…
Doubt it'll work though.
I don't even think that the awesome powers of chocolate will help.
And a note from your benefactor Alice McKinstar: Did you see that extra line written on your personalized memo? This is one of the company's special features that have just been developed.

Merlin I didn't realize how unfit I am.
Or maybe it's just that Potter is so much fitter than the average person.
Surely any other normal person would have been close to collapsing after run from the dungeons.
They had better; otherwise I must be seriously unfit.

Time: 11.02am
Situation: Girls Dorms
An extra new term resolution: run around lake each morning before breakfast.
Note to self: Even if not abiding to other goals, WILL keep that resolution.
It's not healthy to be unfit and not be able to run long distances.

Oh my goodness.
I have just skipped the last part of potions.
Head Girls aren't meant to wag!

Or if I get booted from my role???

The need for chocolate is getting greater by the second.

OH MY F'ING GOD!
LILY! Head Girls DON'T swear!!
These are my musings! I can swear as much as I like.
Besides, I'M HAVING A CHOCOLATE CRISIS!!!
Lily Evans. It's chocolate. Calm down. Get over the chocolate. It is not be all and end all. You being denied of a kilogram block of chocolate is not going to stop the world spinning.
I NEED CHOCOLATE! OR I AM GOING TO DIE!
Lily, I'm not in the mood. Go sulk in a corridor somewhere.
BUT I NEED CHOCOLATE!
Then go find Black and ask him where the kitchens are…
…
Lily?
…And she's gone.
…
Just when I needed her.

From the Transcript file of Bob the painted llama
Time: 11.20am
Situation: 5th Floor, South corridor of East Wing
G Girl with out-of-control red hair and blazing green eyes
B1 Boy with pasty white skin and straw coloured hair
B2 Boy with slick, dark hair that drapes over his scalp elegantly
G stomps into corridor, slams the door behind her, swearing loudly under her breath, her voice gradually becoming louder and louder
B1 walks into corridor in a daze, sees G and makes to turn out of corridor when G spots him.
G: PETER!
B1: Uh… yes? …Lily?
B1 gives G strange look at her tone of voice
G: Where's Black?
B1: …
G: Where's Black?
B1: huh?
G crosses her arms across her chest
G: Do you know where Sirius Black is or not?
B1: Um…
G sighs and taps her foot impatiently
B1: Why are you looking for Sirius?
G drops her arms and sends B1 a death glare
G: Would you just tell me where bloody Black is?
B1: Uh… but why would you be looking for Sirius?
G: For goodness sake Pettigrew, do you know where he is? And if so, are you actually going to tell me?
B1: You're not going to give him detention, are you?
G: What's he done that would make me give him detention?
B1: Nothing… of course.
B1 bites lip.
G: So…
B1: … so… what?
G: WHERE IS HE?
B1: Uh… he's –
Door bangs open and in walks B2 from behind B1. G sees him and runs over in frenzy.
B2: Well hello, Miss Evans. And how are you today, mademoiselle? Miss me too much, did you, darling?
G: YOU'RE HERE!
B2: Yes, my darling, gorgeous flower, t'is moi.
B1 coughs.
G: Oh Merlin, you have to tell me where the kitchens are!
B2 raises his eyebrows ever so slightly.
B2: But why Lily, dear, would I know such a thing? And if I did, what would Dumbledore and the other teachers say if I told you the secret of the kitchens? We can't have our little Miss Head Girl in trouble, can we now?
G: Cut the crap Black. Where are the kitchens?
B2: I'm sorry. But I have been sworn to secrecy.
G glares and stomps her foot angrily.
G: For God's sake Black. I NEED CHOCOLATE! If I don't get chocolate, I am going to have to hit something! And considering that you're conveniently right there…
G glares menacingly.
B2 looks amused and turns to B1 who is attempting to surreptitiously creep towards the door.
B2: So master Peter, were you moved by that monologue or do you think that the Head Girl can come up with something better?
B1 looks between B2 and G and offers a slightly reluctant smile.
B2: Hmmm… this is an interesting situation.
G narrows her eyes even further and doesn't speak.
B2 looks straight back at G and grins broadly but doesn't speak.
There is silence for five seconds.
G sighs loudly and rolls her eyes.
G: Forget it.
G turns and walks away towards corridor door.
The door bangs open before she reaches it and handsome boy (B3) walks through into the corridor.
G falters slightly and doesn't look B3 in eyes.
B3: Lily! What are you doing here? Not talking to the two biggest dags known to world wide are we?
B1 continues to creep to other door at other end of corridor.
B2 raises his eyebrows at B3, clearly disgusted and amused.
G blinks twice and the pitch of her voice raises slightly.
G: Amos, how are you going?
B3: Quite well, thank you Lily. I'm just off to do my arithmancy assignment for advanced level arithmancy. The professor thought that I would be quite capable of further extension in the subject. The ministry is after people that have quite the aptitude in the subject and my professor wants me to apply – says I have a very high chance.
G smiles through gritted teeth and nods head.
G: Well that's absolutely brilliant! Congratulations for the opportunity. I'm sure you'll get the job.
B2 coughs slightly.
B3: So, what are you doing now, Lily? Interested in a coffee?
G looks at him in disbelief for a second before resuming a naturally blank face.
G: No I'm afraid I'm going to have to pass. I have to find, um, Potter for a, um, a Heads meeting. Looks at watch on wrist. And I think I'm late. I'll talk to you all later. Bye Sirius, Peter… Amos.
G makes a run for door that B1 is just about to open and exits corridor.
B2 expression of amusement turns to annoyance.
B2: What the hell do you think you're playing at? Asking her out? After that crap last term?
B3: And that your business how, Black? What do you care if I ask her out?
B2: She's a friend. Friends look out for each other. Stay away from her.
B3: You can't tell me what to do. I'll talk to anyone I want to. Hang on, this has to do with Potter, isn't it? Come on, you heard her, she still likes me.
B2: Don't be so delusional, Diggory.
B3: Well, I have better things to do than talk to idiots like you.
B3 walks out of corridor.
B3: Peter, whatever you do, DO NOT mention that to James. Unless of course you want to have a moody, depressed James for the next month.
B1 nods head vigorously.
B3: I don't understand Evans. Why in the world is she so polite to Diggory? She can scream at James for doing basically nothing but can't even look angry at Diggory.
B3 shakes head in disbelief.
B1: We're going to be late for Defense. Remember that promise we made Remus?
B3 nods and follows B1 out of the corridor.

7th Year Hufflepuff Prefect, Amos Diggory: The musings that should be well noted because they will hold great significance in the near or distant future.

A "Head's Meeting"?????
And of course, we find Mr James Potter himself IN class and Lily Evans OUT of class.
Yes, I see Lily.
The 2 minute Head Meeting really did take place.

This day couldn't get any worse.
Whoops.
It's 11.34am.
I'm missing Defense.
Is it pathetic if the Head Girl doesn't actually care?
Or maybe the guilty conscience feeling just hadn't settled in yet.

What did you do to Lily that was so bad that Alice is missing class as well?

Nope.
Stomach is fine.
…
Dumbledore appointed a Head Girl who doesn't care about skipping class!!!
What's wrong with me???
Ok, this is a test:
How long can Lily Evans wag class for before she feels as though she had to throw up from guilty conscience feeling?
This should be interesting.

Relevant for: Wouldn't have a clue.
Yes Sirius, where is Lily? Or Alice for that matter?
I can't see them anywhere in here…
And we all know that Lily's guilt would kick in much too quickly for her to miss 11 minutes of a class.
So, ready to explain Sirius?
Or, Peter???

JAMES!! STOP PUNCHING ME IN THE ARM!!!
I DON'T KNOW WHERE LILY IS, OK???
AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE ALICE IS EITHER!
Sheesh.
Why does everyone gang up on moi?
I'm innocent!
Peter was with me during break, weren't you Pete? We didn't see Lily OR Alice. Isn't that true, Peter?
Oh, and by the way, last time Lily skipped (E.g last class), she last 18 minutes. The stomach should be fine at 11. It's now 17, so one more minute until Mademoiselle Evans will be entering that door and apologizing for being 'en retard'.
……………………………………………

I'm going to assume that 'en retard' is French for 'is late'.
On second thought, if it isn't, I don't want to know Sirius.
Why are you SPEAKING FRENCH when Lily is no where to be seen???
And Peter, Remus and I are waiting for you to back up Sirius's account.

Yup, Sirius is correct.
We never saw Lily OR Alice.
At all.
Never.
Ever.
At least, not since when she walked out of potions with you.
And Lily still hasn't turned up to class…
Anyone for bets?

That's 23 minutes!!!
YES –
Oh.
There it is: the guilty conscience feeling. Professor McGreggor is going to murder me! I'm 23 minutes late for class!
And after McGonagall wrote that note this morning about tardiness…
RUN!!!

JAMES!! CALM DOWN!! PETER WASN'T SERIOUS ABOUT THE BETS!
STOP TRYING TO GRAB PETER FROM BEHIND ME!
IT WAS A JOKE – A JOKE I TELL YOU!
PETER WOULDN'T BE THAT IMMORAL!!
For Peter's eyes only: Bet my super fun happy magical quill that the Head Girl rocks up through that door in approximately 3.5 minutes. If I win, you owe me five galleons.
Bet accepted?

You don't want a SUPER FUN HAPPY MAGICAL QUILL???

How AWESOME is that? You just have to re-think what the Professor is saying and then 'voila', the SUPER FUN HAPPY MAGICAL QUILL just writes it down FOR YOU!

So, this means that bet is on, right?

Thank goodness I don't normally wag classes. Professor McGreggor didn't seem to mind too much. At least I didn't use the Head Meeting excuse again; Potter has obviously been in class for the past half an hour. Diggory keeps sending me smiles and raising his eyebrows at me. Rather creepy.
But the main problem:
WHERE IS ALICE???
