Hullo everyone xD
Disclaimer: Uh… I don't own this xD Heh, well that was simple.
And you can so picture Sirius being a pirate xD It's one of the reasons why it would have been cool if Johnny Depp had played Sirius in PoA. It just would have worked. They're both pirates xD
But Gary Oldman is cool too xD
And Cillian Murphy should play a young version of Sirius. Just saying xD He was scary yet cute in Red Eye… yeah.
And I have to call JKR a genius. Won-won. It's a classic.
I want to find a guy named Ronald so I can call him Won-Won. I don't even care if we're good friends. I'll just call him Won-Won. But I'm having trouble finding someone named Ronald…
And sorry for this chapter taking forever and ever to come out… But I'll most definately be able to write during Physics, because I moved down a level (Honors to Regents) and it's so frickin' easy... yeah xD
Soo….. read and review!
-------------------------------------------------------
Lily sighed as she tried to pay attention to what Professor McGonagall was saying.
"Now, to transfigure this rock into a salt shaker, what must one do? Anyone? Miss Jones?"
She sighed again. Although she had improved in Transfiguration, it was still one of her least favorite classes. A crumpled piece of parchment hitting her forehead interrupted her thoughts, and she glared at James, who was grinning cheekily. He mimed opening the parchment, and Lily complied.
Flower- She read silently, This is boring. Can you send me a hex, we can play up that whole rivalry bit, ending in you and Sirius taking me to the Hospital Wing? Write back- The charming James Potter.
Lily shook her head, although she was smiling, and wrote back,
Sorry James, but you should know me better. I'd never skive off a class, even if it is Transfiguration. And you go to the Hospital Wing enough anyway. I'm surprised Madam Pomfry doesn't have a bed reserved for you there. She threw the parchment back to James, but due to her poor aiming skills it hit Sirius in the back of the head; he had been talking to Ash quietly, presumably about the fate of the poor goldfish, which were due to be confiscated by McGonagall any day now. James chuckled and grabbed the parchment before Sirius got to it, and read it quickly. Soon enough, another piece of parchment was zooming back to her.
Fine, Flower, I was just looking out for our well-being. You never know when I might just pass out from lack of food, and then you would have no excuse to leave this class. And by the way, Poppy does have a bed reserved for me. It's known as Potter's Place. Sirius has one as well. His, however, is reserved under 'Charming Bloke'. I wonder which one of us she likes more.
She laughed inwardly, but had to quickly hide the parchment as an imposing shadow loomed over her desk.
"Miss Evans?" Professor McGonagall asked sternly.
"Yes," Lily replied slowly, folding the parchment into a miniscule piece and trying to rack her memory for what they had just been discussing.
McGonagall sighed. "Miss Evans, if one wanted to transfigure a salt shaker into a duck, what would one do?" Lily glanced at James, who was motioning with his wand.
"Er…"
"And without the help of Mr. Potter," She continued calmly, and Lily blushed.
"Well, Professor, you would-" She broke off as Sirius raised his hand and started clearing his throat impatiently.
"Yes, Mr. Black?" McGonagall asked Sirius with a slight hint of disdain.
"Aw, Minnie," Sirius told her, but she cut him off.
"Mr. Black, I have told you as many times as there are stars, do not call me by that abominable nickname." A light bulb went off above his head.
"Oh yes!" He said loudly, as if remembering. "I'm to call you Professor McGonagall in class, and Minnie when I see you in the halls and at dinnertime, unless Professor Kettleburn is in the vicinity, ." McGonagall just shook her head sadly: it was evident that she had given up on this fight.
"Your question, Mr. Black?" She asked him.
He waved her off. "Minnie- er, Professor Minnie, you can call me Sirius."
Twitching slightly, she replied stiffly, "I will call you Mr. Black. Now, your question?"
Sirius slapped his forehead after a few minutes. "Blimey, I forgot! Minnie, how could you?"
McGonagall ignored him, and turned back to Lily. "Miss Evans, would you answer your question?"
"Of course, Professor McGonagall. Now, you would-"
Sirius started to clear his throat impatiently. Again.
"Mr. Black?" McGonagall asked, a smidge angrily.
"Now Minnie, take a deep breath. One… two… three. Much better now. All the anger's gone. Now, my question had to do with this. If one were hypothetically to acquire into his- their possession, a pet that was not on the permitted pet list, what would happen to that person? Hypothetically, of course."
Now there was a distinctive twitch in her left eye.
"Blimey, Professor Minnie, d' you have something in your eye?"
The entire class groaned as Sirius vacated his seat to peer at the somewhat annoyed Professor's eye.
"Please take your seat, Mr. Black," She said civilly. Sirius shrugged, and resumed his spot on the bench, but kept an eye on McGonagall.
"And as to answer your question, Mr. Black," McGonagall said with what may be called an evil smirk, "The person- hypothetically, of course- would suffer some detentions. The animals would be sent away, and-" She broke off as Sirius literally threw himself at her and grabbed a fistful of her robes in one hand.
"You wouldn't do that, would you? You can't just-" He blew his nose into the sleeve of her robe, and many of the students noticed a wink he sent in Lily's direction. "You can't… you wouldn't… would you?"
To say Professor McGonagall looked shocked would have been an understatement. "Mr. Black, please resume your seat-" Sirius blew his nose into the sleeve of her robe again.
"But Minnie, you have to let me keep them! Haven't you always wanted a tank full of goldfish? I've already named them, Minnie, you can't take them away from me!" He moved over to Stephanie, and put an arm around her shoulders. "Now tell me the truth, Minnie, if this darling girl had a pet turtle, and she had named it, would you-"
"Telfni. I would name her Telfni." Stephanie interrupted.
"Right. But anyway… would you take away this girl's turtle? Haven't you always wanted to have a pet turtle? Or a tank full of goldfish? I know you have, Minerva. D' you want to know their names? I'll tell you anyway. Fred, George, and… Fork." He added dramatically. McGonagall rolled her eyes, and asked,
"Is that all, Black?"
Sirius sighed. "I do wish that you could see things from my perspective, Minnie," He said dramatically. One of the Slytherins in the class snickered something that sounded remarkably like,
"Ah, perspective. Big words the three year old is using today," before being subjected to a most painful stinging hex, courtesy of one Ashton Fitch.
A hollow sound reverberated off of the walls of the classroom, signifying the end of that class period. McGonagall was currently in a staring match with Sirius, who was trying his best to make her laugh.
"So, Minnie," He said, pulling on his ears and puffing out his cheeks, "Can I keep the goldfish?" The corner of McGonagall's mouth twitched in what could be called a smile, but she called out,
"Miss Evans, a word?" Lily froze from her spot by the door; it seemed like she wouldn't be able to avoid the teacher. She slunk back in, and Sirius clapped McGonagall on the shoulder before skipping out of the room.
"Yes, Professor?" Lily asked quietly.
McGonagall sighed. "That boy is a nuisance, isn't he?" Lily nodded in reply, and the professor continued. "Now, Miss Evans, have you developed plans for the Valentines Day Ball that Professor Dumbledore suggested?"
Lily paled. The ball had completely slipped her mind, and…
"Of course, Professor," Her traitorous mouth answered for her. "We- James and I- just have to finalize some of the plans, and then we can submit them to you for review."
Professor McGonagall nodded. "Good, good. Although I don't know what Albus was thinking. James Potter, throwing a Valentine's Day Ball? I wouldn't be surprised if the entire castle came crashing down around our knees, what with those hi-jinks that he and Black get into. I expect the plans by tonight."
Lily looked a bit frightened. "Er, Professor, I… I… Remus!" She said suddenly, and McGonagall looked a bit shocked.
"Excuse me, Miss Evans?"
"Remus, Professor. Tonight is… well, you know. And I wanted to go over the plans with Remus so he will be able to dissuade James, Sirius, and Peter from doing anything to ruin this event."
McGonagall nodded. "Well then, Miss Evans, might I suggest that I have them in my hands by Friday morning at the latest. You may go now. Oh," she added as an afterthought, "Please inform Mr. Black that he may keep the fish. For now."
Lily smiled, and left the room.
-------------------------------------------------
"I hope you're happy with the extreme dramatic lengths I went to to get you out of answering that question," An exuberant Sirius said.
Lily rolled her eyes. "Sirius, I knew the answer. I was going to answer her, and you wouldn't have had to suffer the embarrassment of crying on Professor McGonagall's shoulder."
Sirius looked offended. "Embarrassed? Sirius Martin Black is never embarrassed!"
"Martin?" She asked.
He shrugged. "All right, so I made it up. Martin is such a spiffy name. But what did Minnie say about the fish? I know she said something."
Lily sighed dramatically, and considered lying to him, but didn't have the heart to.
"You can keep them," She informed him, the corner's of her mouth twitching up in a grin. Sirius started to laugh, and grabbed Lily's hands, dancing around in a circle.
"D' you hear that? Fred, George, Fork? You hear that? You can stay!"
Lily's head spun in circles when he was done spinning her around, and she smiled sympathetically in Ash's direction, for Sirius was headed there next.
James appeared at her side, and asked, "So, what did Minnie keep you after for? To lecture you about how you should pay attention in class, or how you should no longer hang around with me?" Lily rolled her eyes, and answered,
"No, about that Valentines Day Ball that you had Remus convince Professor Dumbledore to hold."
James grinned. "Ah yes, where would we all be without dear ol' Remmy?"
"Probably at the bottom of a deep, dark hole, or lying in a ditch somewhere." Lily retorted. "Now, we need to plan this ball. You don't have anything already, do you?"
James blanked for a second, and then replied slowly, "Of course I have something. I wouldn't leave this till the last second. I'll bring all the plans to our meeting. We can't-"
"I know we can't meet tonight," She interrupted. "But how about tomorrow night. That gives us an entire night to finalize the plans before we have to hand the plans to Professor McGonagall in the morning. All right?"
James nodded. "Perfect, Flower." He was about to say more, but he noticed Lily staring at the first years sitting by the fireplace, cutting out pieces of paper into the shape of paper hearts. "Lils?" He asked hesitantly.
She shook her head, clearing her thoughts, and turned back to him. "Yes?"
"Anything wrong?"
"No, nothing," she replied. James looked at her beseechingly, but didn't say anything else about it. "I'm going to go upstairs and… study," She told him, and went up the stairs. James watched her go, and once he was sure she had gone around the curve in the staircase, he sighed. Why won't she just admit it? About her parents… although I wouldn't mind her admitting that she really is madly in love with me, and- James broke off his train of thoughts by hitting his head on the closest wall.
"Jim-bob," Sirius called out, "You do know that won't work! I thought we all learned our lesson with little Miss Ashton over here." He gestured to Ash, who had a small bruise on her forehead from hitting her head against the window.
Once he heard Sirius' voice, James remembered one small detail about this Valentines Day ball. Vaulting over the sofa back, he sat down next to Stephanie, conjured a piece of parchment and grabbed a quill from Remus, who was trying to his homework before having to leave for the Whomping Willow.
"Okay, guys, help me come up with ideas about this ball thing. Does it have to have food?"
------------------------------------------
Lily sighed as she looked over James' plans for the Valentines Day Ball. Food… Butterbeer… Firewhiskey… Mistletoe… Dumbledore and Minnie dancing the cha-cha? She looked up at James, and winced. He had a bad bruise on his forehead (supposedly from running into a wall) and a few cuts on his arm from the previous night. Lily healed them quickly, and then went back to the list.
"James, we can't have mistletoe at a Valentines Day ball," She told him kindly, even though it seemed as if he had thrown together these plans the night before sitting around the fire with the rest of their friends.
"Why not?" He asked curiously.
"Because," She said, sighing, "Mistletoe is a Christmas tradition. Not a Valentines one."
"Well, can't we have those evil little Cupid's flying around?"
Lily smirked. "Would you like to fall in love with Eugenia from Slytherin again?"
James shuddered, and said slowly, "Well… we could have a kissing booth!"
She looked at him strangely. "A kissing booth?"
He nodded. "Yup. We could charge… a sickle a kiss. Or a few knuts… but we could put the money towards… towards… er…"
"Buying new books for the library?" Lily suggested. James shrugged.
"I was thinking of it going towards prank equipment, but whatever floats your boat."
"It's a possibility. Who would run it, though?" James grinned, and ran a hand through his already messy hair.
"Well, you, me, and Sirius. Maybe one of the girls, too." She looked at him incredulously.
"Like any guy would want to kiss me, and pay for it." James looked back at her with an equally astonished tone.
"Lily Evans, when you get up in the morning and look in the mirror, what do you see?"
"Well, a normal day, or a pranking day?"
"Normal day," He said with a grin.
"Well, on a normal day," She said slowly, "I see… a somewhat short girl, with overly bright eyes and over-the-top red hair that's so thick it's insane." James shook his head.
"Then you don't see what every other person at this school sees. When I look at you, I see…" He drifted off, and Lily smiled slightly. She snapped her fingers in front of his face, and he came back to attention. "Right. When I see you, I see a beautiful girl- young woman, really, with the most entrancing green eyes. And your hair is like the color of the setting sun. So in answer to your question- or lack there of, yes, guys would pay to kiss you." She blushed.
"Well… er, thanks, James. Shall we get back to work?" He nodded, still staring at her. Now with her face being a furious red that was contesting with her hair for the brighter color, she bowed her head over the list.
After a few minutes, she said, "You didn't mention anything about music. What are we going to do for music?" When James shrugged, she offered her own solution, not noticing that he was staring off into space. "Well, we could have classical music playing. And we could dance the traditional dances. Waltz, foxtrot, meringue-"
"Ah huh," James interrupted. "I like meringue."
Lily brightened. "All right. So we'll need to hire a quartet, at least. Or maybe we could charm the instruments to play on their own, and that way we wouldn't have to hire anyone. We-"
"Why would we need a quartet?" James asked.
Lily looked at him strangely. "Why else? To play music, James. That's what a quartet does."
"Why would we need music for meringue?"
"Because when one usually dances, they need music. Unless they are like Cai, and they're dancing to the song playing in their head. Which is usually an odd version of a show tune."
James looked at her curiously. "Wait, we're not talking about pie?"
---------------------------------------------------
Lily smiled as she jumped onto her bed after the meeting. Unfortunately, memories of jumping on her bed with her mother came to her mind, no matter how hard she tried to force them away. Sniffling slightly, she hit her head on her pillow furiously.
"Why does every little thing remind me of them?" She asked.
"Remind you of who?" A voice answered, and Lily sighed. James Potter, yet again.
"No one, James," She called out, "Good night!"
She heard the door click shut, and went back to hitting her head on the pillow. It was getting harder to keep everything bottled up inside, even though she deserved it. It was her fault, and-
No it's not, a little voice in her head told her. You know it's not your fault. It was Voldemort's fault, not your own.
Shut up, Cai, Lily told the voice.
I'm not Cai, I'm you, the voice replied a bit sarcastically. And don't even start to think I'm Sirius. That would just be wrong.
Why am I arguing with a voice in my head? Lily thought.
Because you're being an idiot and won't agree with me? It said hopefully. Lily sighed.
But it is my fault, she replied. It is. If I wasn't a witch, then they wouldn't have been targeted, and if they weren't targeted, then they sure as hell would alive right now, and if-
You can what if yourself to death, sweetheart.
I wasn't "what if-ing", I was "and if-ing".
Same difference. Now-
And why am I still talking with you? You're just a voice in my head. Get out! Lily resumed hitting her head on the pillow.
You know that you want to tell everyone about the holiday's, the voice said a few minutes later. You know it's not your fault. You know-
"I know nothing!" Lily murmured into her pillow. "Absolutely nothing. Now I'm going to sleep."
--------------------------
Lily sighed as sunlight streamed into the windows of her dorm on Saturday morning. No matter where she slept, whether in the seventh year girl's dormitory, or in her own dorm, she still had dreams about her parents. And not happy dreams, but dreams where she was with them as they died, the situation changing every time. However, in this dream, Lily's friends slowly died along with her parents, one by one, each telling her that if she would have just trusted them, and hadn't blamed herself, they would still be alive.
Shaking her head to clear her mind, Lily thought about each of her friends.
Cai Brown. She would start with the one she had known the longest. Ever since she was four, and she had wandered out into the neighbor's yard, she and Cai were close friends. Best friends, one would say, if they had seen each other more. But no, Cai's parents had whisked her and her two brothers around Europe, visiting their family located in various parts of the continent. France, Spain, Italy… Cai was around each winter, and during some parts of the summer, for her mother hated to travel in extreme cold or heat.
But when Cai was at her grandmother's home in England, they had a blast. Lily fondly remembered tea parties with their dolls, playing in the playground, and the time Lily first figured out she was a witch. She had been playing in the playground with Cai when whistling caught their ears; Cai had immediately jumped off of the swing and tackled her brother Christopher, who had returned from Hogwarts. Of course, Lily thought that he just went to a boarding school somewhere in the country, where Cai would go when she turned eleven. But Lily said goodbye to the Brown's, and ambled back to her home, for she knew that the day Chris came back was family day.
However, Lily had forgotten her sweater at the Brown home the day before, and with a hop, skip, and a jump she was over the fence and in their yard. What had given her one of the greatest shocks of her life was when she came upon Cai and Chris flying in the air on what seemed to be broomsticks.
Of course, that prompted a lot of questions, but the end result was an seven year old Lily finding out she was a witch, for only someone of magical descent would be able to see through the charms placed on the household. And a fourteen-year-old Christopher graciously let Lily have a try at flying, although she was terrible.
The next magical kid Lily met was Remus Lupin, at the annual Brown Christmas Party. A shy, timid nine-year-old with light brown hair, he seemed old for his age, as if he had been through a lot. Which she now knew he had, of course, but had not known then. Lily grinned as she remembered Remus and Cai being forced to dance together, while Lily watched from a comfortable armchair in front of the fireplace, sipping punch and giggling. After that first meeting though, Lily had not seen Remus until the Hogwarts train, for the next Christmas, the one where they were ten had unfortunately been on the full moon.
And yes, the Hogwarts Train. Lily was somewhat shocked to find her letter delivered by a large owl, for although she knew she was a witch, she didn't think she would be able to attend Hogwarts; she was even more shocked when she finally saw the train. However, Christopher had kept them in line, and managed to find them an empty compartment before disappearing to find his own friends.
---------------------------------------------------------
The two first years sat quietly on the benches, until a girl knocked impatiently on the door. Cai rose and opened the door quickly, admitting a short brunette and a raven-haired girl a bit taller than the first, although Cai still had a few inches on her. Without asking, the raven-haired girl took a seat, and the brunette looked pointedly at her until the girl got the picture.
"Ashton Fitch," She said cheerfully, extending her hand. "And this is Stephanie Jones. Give it a minute, and we'll probably have a few boys running in here." At that Stephanie giggled, although Lily and Cai looked at her strangely.
"Some of Ash's friends," She explained, "We were trying to find a place to sit, and one of them decided to create an empty compartment. So, of course, being the silly boys that they are, one of them performed a charm and we ran as fast as we could. We-"
Her sentence was interrupted as four boys slammed open the door, threw themselves on the floor, and let the door shut with a click as what seemed to be a horde of people thundered past the compartment.
One of them raised his head and glanced around the room before letting his eyes rest on Ashton.
"Ashey!" He said cheerfully. "What a pleasant surprise!" Seeing Lily and Cai's curious glance, he untangled himself from the mess of boys and helped each of them up. Standing them in a straight line, he seemed to think for a second before turned around and gesturing at the group.
"Ladies," He said charmingly, "May I introduce James Potter," The messy-haired boy smiled, "Remus Lupin," Both Lily and Cai waved at the brown-haired boy, "And Petey." The blonde-haired chubby boy looked indignant. After a whispered conversation, he amended, "Er… Peter Eugene Pettigrew III." The boy, having completed the announcing, took a seat next to Ashton, and motioned for the rest of the boys to find seats around the compartment. Pretty soon everyone was squished together, but there was still one question on their minds.
"And who are you?" Cai asked, pointing at the announcing boy. He stood up, as if having forgotten something, and bowed before sweeping his somewhat long black hair out of his eyes.
"Sirius Black, Madam." Seeing Cai's glare, he quickly told her, "No, no, I'm nothing like my family. Honestly. Just ask Ashey here." Cai looked at him for a few moments, before shrugging and motioning for him to sit back down, which he did. After a few more minutes, James looked up at Lily from his spot on the floor at her feet, and asked,
"Well, you found out who we are, now who are you two?" Lily blushed, and Cai grinned.
"Well, this is my dear friend Lily Evans, Jimmy."
"It's James," He said flatly.
"No, it's Jim-bob!" Sirius told him. James put his head in his hands and shook his head sadly, while Lily patted his shoulder somewhat sympathetically.
"And I'm Cai Brown," She told everyone. Sirius seemed to find this funny, and convulsed into laughter. Cai glared at him, and asked, "What do you think is so funny about my name, Black?" That only served to make him laugh harder. Ash finally seemed to catch on, and chuckled.
"Well, Cai," She informed her, "Besides the fact that Sirius is slightly crazy," She dodged the oncoming friendly punch, "he finds it funny that both of your last names are colors." Cai grinned.
"That is funny," Cai told Sirius, who was rolling on the floor, laughing, "But you could have said something first instead of just laughing."
Sirius shook his head, and Ash took up explaining him. "His motto is 'Laugh first, explain later.' We tried to translate it into Latin, but while we were trying to find the dictionary-"
"Or a spell," Sirius added, finally stopping his laugher.
"Yeah, or a spell, we found Tibby,"
"The house elf,"
"Yeah, Tibby the house elf, baking cookies. Naturally, we decided that cookies were more important than Latin. Plus the fact that Sirius' mum found out I was in the house when I wasn't supposed to, and-" She broke off as the rest of the group looked at her strangely. "Well, let's just say that his motto is 'Laugh first, talk later', and we couldn't translate it into Latin due to outside interference. Ooh, is that the food cart I hear?"
-------------------------------------------------
Lily smiled. That first incident on the train proved to be the start of a lasting friendship, at least between the four girls. Each of them was completely different, yet they shared certain qualities and balanced each other out. Later on, at the feast, she had met Mary Williams, another first year Gryffindor. Mary, Stephanie, Ash, Cai, and herself shared that dorm throughout the first year, and remained steadfast friends with the four boys across the tower.
Of course, that all changed come second year, when the boys chose their first pranking victim. Of course, they had to pick of the girls, for they figured that they wouldn't get as mad as if it was a first year or an older student; rather, they might find it funny.
Oh how they were wrong. They had charmed Ash's raven colored hair to Slytherin green. She had thought it was funny, up until the point where she found out that they did not know the counter-charm.
All in all, that was one reason why Lily Evans became so good at charms. If not for her amazing sense at charm-work, it was because she was the one who was needed to cast a counter-charm to any pranks the "Marauders" pulled. Yes, they had even given their little group a nickname, although no one but the four girls, Mary excluded, and the Marauder's themselves knew it.
Let's fast forward to third year, Lily thought grimly. That wonderful meeting with Alicia. The insufferable gits, as Lily decided to call them, had pranked an innocent little first year, prompting an amiable relationship between all the girls.
That left one question for Lily. While it was a known fact that Alicia, along with almost all the other girls in Gryffindor Tower, along with the rest of the girls in the school, had a crush on Sirius Black, she was not known for… over-the-top actions. And the previous display counted as an over-the-top action. Sirius had been rambling on and on a few days ago about how he was getting tired of all the attention from his fan club, for he was getting tired of the life of a bachelor, and-
No. She thought. He wouldn't.
And then Lily remembered a charming bit of information from what happened after Sirius had been talking to her about if it was possible to make an anti-love potion.
He went to ask Cai for help.
----------------------------------------------------------
A somewhat furious Lily was found in the Gryffindor Common room a few minutes later, pacing in front of the crackling fireplace.
How dare he? She thought. He knows that you can't make an anti-love potion, and out of all the people he asks for help, he asks Cai? The girl who has failed so many Potions practical's that her name is on the wall with a record number. Granted, she put it up herself, but still… I don't know why in hell Ash adores him, he's a bloody idiot! She finished her inner rant with a snort of anger, and collapsed into one of the many squashy armchairs.
About half an hour later, someone poked her shoulder.
"Excuse me," a very familiar voice said, "But you're sitting in my seat. See?" They dangled the oh-so-familiar sign that said 'This seat is Sirius', paws off. Trespassers will be castrated.'
"Black," Lily growled, and Sirius jumped back.
"Oh, Lils! If you wanted to take a seat, you could have just asked! Of course I'll let you use it!" She jumped up, and poked his shoulder to enunciate each word.
"Sirius Black, how dare you make a love potion! You inconsiderate, incorrigible, abominable, pr-"
"Lily, Lily, Lily," Sirius said, shaking his head. "I didn't make a love potion. You must have me confused with someone else."
This calmed Lily slightly. "You didn't?"
"No, no, no," He replied, "I made an anti-love potion. It's completely different."
--------------------------------------
"Sorry Lillers," Cai said loudly from inside the dormitory, where she had locked herself in. "But I didn't know he would actually give anyone the potion! And in my defense, I tried to make an anti-love potion. It just didn't work!"
It was at this moment that the door flew open, and Lily carefully walked across the room. "Cai Brown, if you think for one second I will take that as an excuse, you can just go and shove that reason up your-" She broke off as Cai knocked her to the ground and ran out of the room.
"Remy!" Cai shrieked as she fell down the stairs, and proceeded to hide behind the chair in which Remus was sitting.
"What did you do this time, Cai?" He asked with a sigh.
"More like what didn't she do," Stephanie said with a grin. Cai shrieked again as Lily caught up with her, and ran around the chair to keep Remus between herself and the very angry Lily.
"She made a love potion!" Lily yelled, and Remus winced.
"Lily, could you keep your tone down? And how do you know she made the love potion?"
"Because it was supposed to be an anti-love potion, apparently, and only Cai would be stupid enough to make the mistake of trying to make the potion in the first place."
"Oy, you know what Lils? Where in Merlin's name do you get off calling me stupid? I'm smarter than you are!" Cai exclaimed, putting her hands on her hips. However, she made the crucial mistake of standing still, and Lily tackled the girl with a shout of triumph.
Remus shook his head. "Cai, you have to remember that you always make that mistake."
She sighed from her spot on the floor. "I know, I know. Lily, could you get off of me?" Lily rose, but kept glaring as Cai settled herself into a more comfortable spot on the floor.
"Cai, I just have to ask. Why were you compelled to help make Sirius an anti-love potion?"
She shrugged. "Well, he said he'd do my Divination homework for two weeks. You know I've run out of untimely deaths for this month."
"Cai…" Lily said threateningly.
"All right, all right. I'll go make an antidote!"
"No!" Everyone yelled, and Lily blocked her path.
"Cai Adrienne Brown," She said coolly, "If you so much even try to create an antidote, I'll have James lock you up somewhere in the castle where you can't be found."
Cai raised an eyebrow. "Oh, so only James? Why not Remus, or Sirius, or Peter? Do you just have James on the brain? Do-" She broke off as Lily tackled her again. "Oomph. Off Lily, off!" Stephanie laughed, but helped Remus drag Lily off of Cai.
"Now Cai," Remus asked, "What are you going to do about this problem?"
"Well, dear ol' Remy, I'm going to wait until after Potions on Monday, sneak into the storage closet, grab the ingredients for an antidote-" She stopped as Lily glared at her. "Or I could just ask old Slug-a-roonie about it."

Trilian225: Thanks xD Glad you like my based on real-life stories… I only stayed in my friend's closet for 2 hours though… I was bored, and started telling myself Jokes, and she heard me xD
Crystal tears x: all right… I'll explain xD
It's Lily/James (Dur xD), Ash/Sirius (Well, sorta… she IS obsessed xD)
Stephanie, as of right now, has no luff… probably someone from Ravenclaw xP DEFINITELY not Petey P. I promised her that I wouldn't pair her with Petey P. xD
And the characters THINK that Cai and REmus should get together, but they won't. They'll just make jokes about it xD
blue mariposa: Lol, Sirius was just being… Sirius. It was before the opening feast, and Sirius decided to be nice. So he found this short girl, thought she was a first year, and told her that she must be lost, and then proceeded to bring her to Minnie. Then they found out she was Head Girl xD
Loofah: Yay, you read it! Yeah, I'm fixing your part now. It's in this chapter, partially.
ToRi: Thanks. She's not telling her friends because she thinks its her fault and doesn't deserve the sympathy… but she's going to tell them soon. It works out xD
And that's it… so review, por favor! xD
