A/N Well, here's chapter 6! Enjoy! Please Review!
What's the time?
Well it's gotta be close to midnight.
My body's talkin' to me, it says time for danger.
Says I wanna commit a crime
Wanna be the cause of a fight.
Wanna put on a tight skirt, and flirt, with a stranger
-Out Tonight, Rent
Chapter 6: Fights: Round One
"JUST GIVE IT UP POTTER! I'M GOING TO GO OUT WITH HIM!" Lily shouted at James from one side of the Gryffindor common room. Remus, Sirius and Emily were sitting on the couch, staring off into space.
"WHY? HE'S SCUM LILY! HE'S THE ONE WHO WANTS TO HURT YOU! WHY CAN'T YOU SEE THAT?" James yelled back from the other side of the common room. Lily just turned and stormed out the portrait hole, muttering something about "that insufferable git", and James finally wandered over to the couch, defeated.
"I can't believe that she's actually going out with him," Sirius said in a monotone voice.
"I'm sorry you guys. You didn't have to stick around." James said, looking at the bored expressions on his friends faces.
"Of course we didn't. Except for the fact that Lily was standing right next to the portrait hole, and you were in front of the stairs that go to the dorms. Either way, we would have gotten our heads bitten off if we had moved at all." Remus pointed out quietly.
"Well, if you guys are done with your little…lovers spat, then I'm going to bed. Some of us actually like sleep, so if you don't mind," Emily said, standing up.
"Yeah, sorry mate, but I'm with this one," Sirius said, following Emily as she climbed the stone steps to the dormitories.
"Are you sure you're all right, James?" Remus asked. James nodded, and Remus followed Sirius and Emily. James laid his head down on the back of the sofa, listening to crackling fire. He abruptly sat up, looking around.
"Crap! Head Duties!" James groaned, then rushed out of the portrait hole.
"Mel! Melissa!" Emily hissed, peering around a bookcase in the library. When Melissa didn't notice her she whispered much louder, "MELISSA!"
"SHH!" Madame Mynara had noticed. "Miss Runley, I insist that you lower your voice. This is a library!" She whispered disapprovingly.
"Sorry Madame Mynara!" Emily whispered back. She finally trekked over to the table Melissa and her project partner from Ravenclaw were working at, and sat down, shutting the book that was sitting in front of Melissa. "Hi deaf buddy! I kinda need to talk to you!"
"And I'm kinda busy!" Melissa answered, reopening her book.
"But it's worth 20 points!" Emily whispered. Emily had this system. Gabi had made it up. Ever since 5th year, Emily had been a major social-life. Because of this, she would obviously know all the latest gossip. Of course, Melissa said they used it because Emily never stopped talking, and this way, depending on how many points it was, the two friends knew when they should listen and when it was ok to ignore her. Twenty points was the highest you could go. The last thing that was even close was 17 points, and that was when Emily had started dating Sirius.
"Ok, what is it?" Melissa asked.
"Can we talk somewhere private?" Emily asked, eyeing the Ravenclaw sitting across from her.
"Fine!" Melissa slamming her book shut and waving goodbye to her partner. "Ok, what is it?" she asked as they walked towards the Great Hall for dinner.
" Lily has a date with Malfoy," Emily said as they walked slowly down the marble staircase.
"WHAT?" Melissa screeched, stopping where she was, which happened to be dangerously close to a trick step.
"Watch out!" Emily said, pulling her away from the annoying stair.
" You've got to be kidding me…" But before she could continue, she was interrupted by yelling in the Entrance hall. Once again, it was Lily and James going at it.
"LILY! JUST LISTEN TO ME!" James yelled, ignoring the crowd that was gathering.
"NO JAMES! I'VE HAD ENOUGH! LEAVE ME ALONE! YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS THAT'S IT'S HIM AND NOT YOU! WELL THAT'S TOO BAD POTTER, BECAUSE UNLIKE YOU, HE'S NOT AN EGOTISTICAL GIT!" Lily screamed, then flew up the stairs, the crowd parting as she went.
" See, told you it was worth 20 points," Emily stated proudly, watching James stomp off towards the great hall.
A/N: Heehee, I am EVIL! I know, sorry, still don't know who the mysterious Slytherin is, and what does he want with Lily? Boy I wish I knew! Heehee, don't worry, I know all, well sorta, we'll see how how it comes out! Next chapter: Lily and her friends at Hogsmede, and maybe I'll be nice and tell you who it is! Hopefully...
I based Emily's point system on the points system from Clique. Fabulous books by the way.
James and Lily are definitely going to need counciling. Or James is going to beat the heck out of someone in a heroic attempt to save his dear Lilykins' life, and she will suddenly fall in love with him. Dangit, I just gave the story away!
Thank you so much to Leonharted again! you are amazing! And also tm7! You rock!
