CHAPTER TWO: THE ARROGANT SLIMEBALL AND THE RESPECTFUL BRAIN
So the girls now had found there way to their table and were sitting and eating. Well they were actually eating along side of talking about there plans for the next week. Seeing how it was now October 10th the girls were slowly getting ready to adjust for the winter.
"Oh! I forgot to tell you guys," Anna started, "this weekend is going to be a surprise Hogsmead weekend."
"Um, and how do you know that?" Shelly inquired, not that she didn't believe her friend, it was just that she wasn't sure how Anna could have known that seeing as it was a secret.
"Oh, well Remus told me back on Thursday I believe it was," Anna explained. Charlotte and Shelly exchanged looks.
"And when on Thursday did you get the time to run off with Remus?" Charlotte asked with a smile.
"I didn't run off with him, when I went down to the library to grab the book for my Transfiguration essay I ran into him and 'cause he's really good with the subject I asked him for help. And when we were done he walked me up to the common room and we were just chatting and it slipped," Anna explained.
"Well how did he know?" Lily said also smiling at her friend's naïve-ness.
"Oh well he was in Dumbledore's office when Professor McGonagall was discussing it with-," Anna started but was interrupted by Isabel's outburst.
"So did you say yes?" Isabel said really fast obviously not caring about the circumstances of how Anna knew about it.
"'Did I say yes' to what?" Anna blinked confused.
"To him asking you of course!" Isabel replied really wanting to know.
"He didn't ask me to go with him," Anna tried to explain.
"But he wouldn't have told only you if he didn't want to go with you," Charlotte cut in.
"We just needed something to talk about so he supplied a subject. It's no big deal," Anna said defending both herself and Remus.
"Anna, hunn, we all know that you secretly are in love with Remus and we all know he's in love with you. I think you should go with him," Shelly said.
"We all think you should get together with him," Isabel added.
"Well we all think that Lily should give James a chance but she's not doing that either," Anna brought up. Lily's ears perked up at the mention of herself and James.
"Potter and I are very different from you and Remus," Lily said quickly, but when she was given a doubting look from Anna and from the rest of the group she explained, "Potter is an arrogant slime ball, Remus is respectful and smart, plus it's obvious Remus actually likes you."
"James isn't horrible," Charlotte said, quick to defend James so that this conversation wouldn't wither away into another 'Potter is a prat' rant.
"Oh please, don't bother defending him, he's a bully to anyone who he feels is 'less than' himself," Lily huffed.
"Fine then Lily, I'll make a deal with you, I'll go out with Remus when you go out with James," Anna stated looking at Lily.
"What? No! I'm not agreeing to that," Lily said quickly.
"Fine then I won't get together with Remus ever," Anna retorted.
"That's stupid. You and Remus are perfect for each other and you can't base your relationship with him off of what I do, or don't do, with Potter," Lily tried to reason.
"Well that's your opinion, not mine," Anna said shrugging her shoulders and taking another sip of her pumpkin juice.
"Fine it's a deal," Lily agreed. The group was incredibly shocked at this. Lily Evans had agreed to /somewhat/ have a relationship with James Potter, the boy who she had claimed to hate for the past seven years of her life.
"Seriously?" Charlotte was the first to say something
"I guess so," Lily replied and now it was her turn to shrug. 'Besides' Lily thought to herself 'Anna likes Remus and Remus likes Anna and if he asks something there's no way she'd say 'no' to him. So I won't have to do anything with Potter but I'll also have some time where my friends aren't bugging me to give him a chance.'
"Well, now that that's cleared up whatcha guys wanna do?" Shelly asked trying to start a new conversation seeing as their old one was dieing if not already dead.
"Um I dunno, let's go back to our room and figure something out when we get there, just 'cause its more comfortable up there," Charlotte suggested.
The other girls agreed and as a group they gathered up their few belongings and stood up to leave.
The marauders of course noticed them leaving and because they hadn't really bothered the girls yet that day, or so they felt, they decided to have a quick chat with the girls.
"Oy! Issac!" Sirius called across the table. Isable looked over her shoulders to see who called, even through the voice of the caller was unmistakable.
"What Black?" Isabel said sounding exasperated with him, but truthfully she didn't mind him and she always referred to him as 'Sirius' even though she always said 'Black' to his face.
Sirius had started walking down to where the girls were now standing and James, Remus, and Peter were following a few feet behind.
When Sirius got to the girls he slung his arm lazily around Isabel's shoulder.
"What's crakin'?" Sirius said to her.
"Oh please, we are going to our room, and you need to go back and play with your little friends," Isabel replied dropping her shoulders and moving forward a tad making his arm fall off her.
But by this point the three other Marauders had reached Sirius and there was no leaving anytime soon.
"Ah yes, well I believe that, as you can see, my 'little friends' are here with me, next you," Sirius retorted slightly getting closer to her.
"I'm hurt, no hellos for dear us," James said to Remus in mock sadness.
"Yes well I believe I can see where we're not loved," Remus joked back.
"Ah, but on the contrary we all know everyone loves us, no matter how hard they try to act like they don't," Sirius turned and said to them, he was wearing his one million dollar smile as he joked with his to best friends.
"Yes because that's just what Potter needs, some food for his overly inflated ego," Lily said, she notice the giggly look on Shelly's face and the sweet small smile on Anna's as she looked over to Remus.
Remus obviously noticed Anna looking and he smiled back at her, neither one of then said anything to each other.
"Aw Lils, you've hurt me again. Why must you force yourself to cage up your feelings?" James said slowly his voice getting louder. Then he got up on a chair and grabbed Lily by her waist and stuck her on the chair next to him, he then got down on his knee (still on the chair though) and as if they were in a play he announced, loud enough for everyone to hear,
"Oh my dearest Lily flower! Come sail away with me and let my treasures be yours and your treasures be mine! Come and confess your love for me the way I do for you, let us make our vows and recite them for all heavens to hear!" James finished and had his lopsided grin on his face, many people were laughing at the site of them, they all knew it was a joke and it was true, James was a funny guy, Lily just didn't appreciate him the way he wished she would.
"Potter you are such an arrogant prat! Go bother someone else!" Lily shouted at him, "C'mon girls, let's go."

The girls were back in their room now. Isabel was painting Shelly's toes and they were sitting on dresser that the girls kept cleared off so that they could use the dresser top for doing such activities.
Lily and Charlotte was laying with their backs on Charlotte's bed but with Lily's feet at Charlotte's head and Charlotte's feet at Lily's head. Anna was lying on the floor with a damp towel over just her eyes, as she did every night because the moisture kept the skin around her eyes from darkening (A/N yes that does actually work).
The girls were silent; the only noise coming from the once broken radio Lily had charmed to play any song/c.d. when someone commanded it to and if it wasn't given a sing to play it would randomly select one, so that it would work in school. Currently it was playing 'It's Still Rock and Roll to Me' by Billy Joel (A/N my favorite song in the world….well on of them and yes I'm 100 aware Billy Joel had not sung the song until 1980 but it'll be explained later.)
"I cannot believe Potter," Lily said breaking the girl's silence; Lily had been sitting there replaying the day's earlier events in her head. Charlotte had been experiencing some very random thoughts, Anna was taking deep "cleansing" breathes and relaxing but was occasionally having a thought about Remus, Shelly and Isabel had been focusing on the toe nails, color names, and that sort of thing.
"Lily we all know that as flustered as you may have been at the time, thinking about it you know you think its funny," Charlotte pointed out, the scene from the Great Hal all filled their minds.
"Funny or not he shouldn't have even said anything, he has no right," Lily said all huffy.
"He has freedom to say what he wants," Charlotte stated.
"Well he doesn't have to be such an ass about it," Lily said, Charlotte smiled to herself and shut her eyes.
"Time?" Anna asked
"8:40" Isabel supplied.
"Okay, I'm done," Anna said getting up, she always did her "eye skin treatment" for 10 minutes, "Oh I love this song, I can't wait til' he sings it, we're all going to that concert."
"Oh that's so true," Shelly said.
"How many years 'til the song comes out?" Isabel asked.
"Umm, four-ish years maybe five," Anna responded.
"Oh that's five years to long!" Charlotte said closing her eyes, the girls laughed for a bit.
"So, we never figured out any plans for this weekend," Isabel reminded the group.
"Oh yea, what's this weekends date? The 17th and 18th?" Lily asked.
"Yep, three weeks until Halloween!" Shelly exclaimed.
"We should do something special, 'cause we know the teachers aren't going to plan a party or anything, they never do," Charlotte said.
"Yea, that and this is our last year at Hogwarts," Lily pointed out.
"Whoa, it feels like we just started, it can't be over so soon," Shelly said.
"Don't worry about it you still have a whole year of work ahead of you missy miss," Isabel pointed out to her laughing.
"We could have a Gryffindor house 'Truth or Dare' for Halloween, except Halloween is Sunday so we'd have to do it Saturday night," Anna said.
"Oh I like that idea!" Isabel sat straight up, "But maybe we'll make it only 6th and 7th years 'cause it wouldn't be as interesting with the "younger" students."
The girls shared a laugh again.
"We should make up "invitations" and owl them to the 6th and 7th years in Gryffindor," Shelly added.
"This is going to be fun," Isabel said.
END OF CHAPTER TWO
AUTHOR NOTES AND STUFF
