Chapter 5- Accidents and Announcments"Was it horrid Lily?" Hannah asked finally when they were safely in the Prefects Bathroom.
"Part of it…." Lily sighed turning on the faucets and began unbuttoning her uniform shirt revealing a bathing suit. She wanted to scream and yell about having to stay with him for so long but she couldn't …because more than that she wanted to admit that he was somewhat decent to her.
"Well this will get your mind off of it." The blonde said pulling several bottles of butterbeer from her cloak. Mia put the basket full of food that the house elves had given them on the floor and began stripping along with Lily.
"Can't we just not talk about it?" Lily asked stepping into the water.
"Yes please. I've had enough of the Marauders for now." Amanda agreed and jumped into the almost filled pool splashing Lily who was still slowly getting used to the water.
Hannah sat on the side of the pool and put her feet in the water and opened a bottle of Butterbeer and took a swig. "Mmm, this is good stuff." She said smacking her lips.
Mia stepped into the pool carefully. She would join them everytime despite the fact she wasn't a very good swimmer.
Lily sighed contentedly and began swimming laps around the olympic sized pool.
She didn't have to worry about Potter or anything else when she was with her friends she could just relax and let everything go. Her friends saw sides of her nobody else knew. Like, Lily could be the craziest , most hyper girl at their school if you just got her away from everyone else.
Yet they had also seen her cry when she found out that her father had cancer.
"Oh yeah! I forgot to mention!" Hannah began kicking her legs splashing the three girls in the pool to get their attention."Quidditch try-outs were today and guess who is the new Gryffindor Chaser?"
"You made the team?" Lily asked excitedly and Hannah nodded. Squeals filled the room and Han was pulled into the water during the big group tackle hug.
The four soggy girls laughed for a moment allowing Hannah to take off her school clothes which were now extremely wet.
"That is so good! Now I have a reason to go to the games!" Mia said squeezing the blonde tightly.
"Yeah, Now I don't have to watch Potter fly around. I get to see you!" Lily smiled.
"Mhm!" Hannah said happily. " Wow after all this excitement I'm starved!"
Mia laughed at her friend's unstoppable stomache. "Okay I'll go get you something." She said climbing out of the pool.
"Thanks dear!"
Mai grinned moving towards the basket being careful not to slip and hurt herself.
'I can't believe I made the team! I'm so happy! I just hope this isn't some lame attempt from Potter to get Lily to like him…'
Mia's brow furrowed at the thought. She handn't been reaching out towards Hannah why was she hearing her thoughts?
' This is a lot of fun I'm glad I have friends like this.' This thought was obviously coming from Amanda. Mia tried to speak but her throat tightened refusing to let any sound out. Her legs locked forbbiding movement.
'I can't breathe…' She thought as more and more thougths filled her head. Not just from her friends but from people all over the school. Her knees gave out and she fell to the floor.
"MIA!" Lily yelled scrambling from the pool and falling down hard as she slipped on the wet tile. A sharp pain hit her tongue as her teeth bit into it and the metallic taste that came from blood filled Lily's mouth. She spat sending crimson onto the floor making the other girls freak out even more .
"Oh my gosh! Hannah go get somebody!" Amanda yelled moving towards them and pulling out her wand.
Lily grabbed Amanda's hand before she could cast a spell and shook her head.
Healing spells done by people that weren't trained were highly dangerous.

"I still don't condone the four of you being out of your house so late especially when three of you are forbidden from the Prefects bath…however… I think you have been punished enough."
Professor McGonagall said with a sigh.
"But I do expect better of you miss Evans."
Lily nodded keeping her head down. The nurse had fixed her tongue in three seconds flat, if she hadn't been a witch she would've need'ed stitches and it would've been painful for weeks.
Mia was awake now and able to move around. She had a slight head ache that couldn't be fixed, but she was fine with that.
"You may go back to bed now." McGonagall motioned towards the door of her office and the four left.
"Tomorrow people are going to be talking about this…."Mia said quietly as they headed upstairs.
"Not if nobody finds out." Amanda said assuringly patting the brunette on the back.
"'Manda at this school word travels faster than a Chinese Fireball." Lily stated hopelessly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Have you heard what they're saying?" Hannah asked in amazement as she plopped down next to her friends at breakfast.
"I've heard everything from I hurt my tongue making out with Potter to Death Eaters were in the castle and we bravely fought them off." Lily said eith a slight laugh. Death Eaters were no laughing matter but the story was just so absurd that it was amusing.
"Even though word travels fast nobody seems to know the truth." Mia sighed taking a bite of toast.
"I hope I didn't hurt you too badly last night Evans…" An annoyingly familiar voice said.
Lily's shoulders sagged. 'Oh Merlin…'
"Potter did you start that rumor?" She asked turning around. James shook his head no. "It doesn't have to be a rumor though Evans." He said rasing an eyebrow suggestively.
Lily rolled her eyes and turned away again.
"I think you'd better lay off mate before you get hurt…" Sirius laughed joining the group at the Gryffindor table.
Amanda's eyes narrowed upon hearing his voice. "What do you want Black?"
"The first Hogsmeade trip is a couple weeks. I'm not busy."
Amanda smiled. "Oh really? I am. I'm going with Frank."
Black's face plaed. "Frank? As in Frank Longbottom?" He asked in disbelief.
"Yup… Now if you'll excuse us we're trying to eat."
James dragged the stunned Padfoot away. How could he, Sirius Black, be brushed off for….Frank Longbottom? It was uncommon for a Gryffindor girl to date somebody out of their house…it was just…not done… sort of like marrying below your class.
Gryffindor boys were another matter it was sexist many admit but… it was just the way things were.
'I don't believe this..'
"Speaking of truth…what exactly happened with you last night Mia?" Lily asked.
"As I told you on the first day of school my telepathy is messed up. For some reason it overloaded and I was picking up thoughts from all over the school. It was too much for my brain to handle." Mia explained shuddering remembering the feeling of having control.
"Is that the first time it's happened?" Amanda asked worriedly.
Mia nodded. "I just hope it's the last."

"Today class you shall be transforming Desks…" Minerva waved her wand and the desk before her transformed into a rather large and hairy pig.
"Into pigs. Now you should all remember the spell. However, today you will be doing the spell silently. I do not want to hear word. And Mr. Pettigrew."
The short boy looked up with obvious fear in his watery blue eyes.
"I will know if you are whispering. Now get to work."
Hannah stared intently at her desk and waved her wand. A pink pig head appeared at one end and a curly tail sprouted at the other but the middle remained unchanged.
'Bloody…Mia help me!' She pleaded telepathically to her friend who had already transformed the desk and was now tryign to keep it from eating her shoes.
'I can't that would be cheating. Hey get away from me!' She brunette prodded her pig with her wand and blue sparks shot out scaring the pig and it ran out of the room squealing it's head off.
"Uh oh…"
Lily's pig sat on the floor letting the red head scratch it's ears lightly and it made soft happy grunting noises.
'I don't see what the problem is. I think their kinda cute…'James glared at the pig Lily was petting affectionatly and tried his best to finish his own pig which was shaped like the animal but still stiff and completely wooden.
"Prongs don't tell me you're envying that pig…" Sirius said quietly not even attempting to change the desk.
"Oh please Padfoot it's a farm animal…" James said as the wood turned pink but still remained wood.
Remus had already transformed his own perfect pig back into a desk and was sitting quietly reading a book for their next class. Peter held onto the leg of his desk quietly sobbing over the fatc that it wouldn't turn into a pig.
A loud bang sounded in the hallway followed by a loud piggy squeal.
"Merlin… Peeves has a pig…" McGonagall muttered exiting the class room.
After The pigs were all captured and turned back into desks McGonagall settled down and sighed. "Alright class I have an announcement to make. This year to celebrate Halloween Hogwarts will be hosting a ball for three schools. Years five through seven are allowed to attend…" She kept on talking but hardly anybody was paying attention. A ball meant many things… but it mostly meant romance.
"The other schools will be arriving in a week and will remain until the end of the year."
