Chapter 2: Flicka/ Remus

Dani half listened as Lily ranted and raved about how annoying James Potter is, it was old news and besides he really hadn't even done anything wrong this time. If anything screamed "TOPIC CHANGER" it was this conversation right now.

"Anyone got a fag?" Flicka asked summing up Dani's feelings in the most vulgar way possible.

"You know I don't approve of smoking," Lily said becoming distracted and Flicka snorted.

"Lilypily you don't approve of anything," she said smoothingly settling for stealing a piece of May's bubble gum.

"That is not true Flicka," Lily said angrily and Flicka just nodded calmly to avoid a fight, and Lily sighed.

"I'm sorry for attacking you," Lily said and Flicka blinked at her, was Lily Evans apologizing.

"Its alright babycakes. However, would you like to tell us what you really are feeling about James?" She asked as gently as she could for such a pressing question. Dani almost groaned at the next ten minute rant that was coming on, but it froze in her throat when Lily spoke.

"Why hasn't he asked me out yet?" Lily blurted out and May squeaked in surprise.

"Well, that is new," Flicka commented and nodded for Lily to continue.

"Not that I want him to or anything," Lily hurriedly added in.

"And, that is not new," Dani said dryly but Flicka narrowed her eyes at Lily as though studying her answer, she had rushed that comment in to quickly for it to go unnoticed. After staring intently at her for a few moments Flicka shrugged and got up.

"I'm going to go get some Bertie Bott's anyone want anything?" Flicka asked pausing in the doorway.

"Yes some chocolate please," May piped up tossing her a sickle.

"No problemo baby doll, anyone else?" She asked and when everyone else shook their head she walked out of the compartment.

"I'm hungry," Sirius commented as the boys finished changing into their robes.

"You just had 20 chocolate frogs," Remus told him.

"Point...?" Sirius asked rolling his eyes at the stupidity of the comment.

"No point," Remus said thinking it was easier to just give up than to fight.

"Want me to go get food?" James asked, "Lily might be there."

"Er, Prongsie Poo I doubt, judging from her previous exit, Lily wants to see you right now," Sirius said in his usual blunt manner and James slunk down in his seat.

"Your right, gosh what is wrong with me?" He sighed and Remus quickly stood up.

"I'll go get food for you all, be back in a jiff," He said and ran out to avoid another James-loving-Lily-Lily-hating-James complaining session.

----

"8 packs of Cauldron Cakes, 6 Bertie Bott's, and 20 Chocolate Frog's please," Remus asked the snack lady.

"Are you feeding a zoo?" A voice spoke from behind him and Remus spun around.

"Worse, Marauders," He answered smiling down into Flicka's pale face.

"Ahh I see," She said with a laugh and he grinned back.

"Next please," The snack lady called out and Flicka stepped forward.

"A pack of Bertie Bott's and a hunk of chocolate please," Flicka said and the kind lady nodded.

"So much more conservative," Remus commented and Flicka grinned at him.

"Trying to cut down," She joked patting her thin stomach.

"Here you go dears," the snack lady called and Remus stopped Flicka from fishing out her money.

"I got it," He told her quickly placing enough money for the both of their orders on the counter.

"What? No, Remus really," Flicka said somewhat flustered.

"It's fine Flick, consider it payment for all the times you've put up with Sirius," Remus joked and Flicka smiled.

"Thank you very much," She said.

"You want to eat here for a bit?" Remus asked, "I'm sure Sirius could put up with not eating for a few more minutes." Flicka laughed and shrugged.

"I guess if Sirius can endure it May can too," She said and lead them over to the closest table.

"So, are you excited for the school year?" Remus asked somewhat lamely.

"Do I look like Lily Evans?" Flicka joked and Remus looked her over. She defintley did not look like Lily Evans. At 5"3 she was slim, slender, and petite with bright blonde hair and dark grey eyes. Even with her typical girly look Flicka made herself stand out, she highlighted her hair with lime green streaks that gave her a punk rock aire.

"Earth to Remus," Flicka said and Remus turned purple realized he had zoned out while gazing at her.

"Still here," He said sheepishly and she grinned.

"We better go bring these snacks back, they might have began to think we died," Flicka said as she rose.

"Or, they might have died themselves," Remus said and Flicka laughed.

"That too," She said and threw him a wave as they split off heading to their seperate compartments. Remus glanced back over his shoulder as he reached the compartment door and stared wistfully at Flicka's retreating figure.

"So stupid," he growled hitting himself on the head with a chocolate frog.

"Hey, stop denting my food," Sirius cried from inside and Remus sighed and entered the compartment.

----

"What took you so long? I was about to eat my foot," May complained as Flicka walked in and Flicka clamped her teeth as her whining reached her ears.

"Sorry," was all she answered throwing May her chocolate. She looked around and realized everyone was in their robes and she was still donning jeans and a t-shirt. She quickly reached for her trunk but Lily shook her head.

"I got your robes out for you," She smiled and Flicka looked up at her gratefully.

"Thanks Lilypily," Flicka said quickly changing.

"Girls, we have to make this year kick ass," Dani said suddenly and everyone looked at her a bit strangely.

"What?" Dani continued, "You know we totally do. Let's throw caution to the wind this year." Flicka began to grin and May nodded slowly, but Lily shook her head firmly.

"I don't approve of throwing caution to the wind," Lily said and everyone affectionately shook their heads.

"So far today Lily has not approved of seductive poses, James apologies, James offering her Cauldron cakes, smoking, and throwing caution to the winds," Dani muttered under her breath.

"What was that Dani?" Lily asked her friend but Dani smiled innocently.

"Nothing," She replied and soon all the girls ended up in a fit of giggles.
