September 2- Girls Dorm
Okay sorry, but I was so upset that I had to have a little ice cream.
So yes I have never been kissed. It's the shameful ugly truth. Well, last year it seemed like everyone in the dorm had a date one night except me. Okay, well Cassie was just at the library but still I felt really lonely.
So what I did next was incredibly embarrassing. I decided to practice my kissing on the back of my hand. Now I know that tons of people do that but I was getting really into it and, yes as gross a picture as it is, I was getting my tongue and teeth involved.
I was so into it I didn't even hear someone fast approaching until the door swung open and Tanya came in saying "Well that was the most insensitive jerk I've ever gone out with? Do you know what he tried to do? He tried to get his hand- LILY!!!!!!"
I was so surprised I……well; I bit into my hand so hard I broke the skin and needed stitches. I swear it was a freak accident I mean have you ever heard something so completely ridicules?
So I had told Pettigrew that story and sworn him to secrecy. I honestly thought he'd keep it a secret. Tanya had managed to keep it a secret and she's absolutely terrible at keeping them.
Unfortunately I was sadly, sadly mistaken. At the Welcoming Feast the girls from the dorm and I were sitting next to the Marauders because we'd had so much fun on the train.
Everything was going along fine. In fact I was just about to get up the nerve to possibly flirt with one of them (Tanya had given me tips) when Black turned and smiled at me.
Right away I should've guessed something was going to happen. He had this evil little grin on his face and his voice positively dripped with fake sweetness when he said "So Evans did your practice pay off."
I just blinked. Having no idea what the bloody heck he was talking about. "Excuse me."
Now all the Marauders had the same evil little smirk. "Oh Lily," Black said his voice still with that stupid sweetness, "don't tell me it still hasn't happened yet. And after all that practice." He sighed dramatically and shook his head.
"What," I said slowly. I was dangerously close to losing my temper, "are you talking about."
"Lily flower don't tell me you still haven't had your first kiss. You have still been practicing haven't you?" Black finally said and he began laughing.
I must have gone into shock for a few minutes because all my friends were asking what they mean while the Marauders laughed so hard tears were rolling down there cheeks.
Of course notice above a few minutes.
I began shrieking at Pettigrew while between fits of laughter he tried to worm his way out of it. Of course I didn't just walk away I had to teach Pettigrew a lesson! So I took out my wand and aimed a Bat-Bogey hex straight at his face then turned on my heel and marched away.
I would've liked to say that I went up to the tower of something but I had to hide out in the bathroom tell I saw my fellow prefect with the first years. Prefect duties, I hope they don't come in the way anymore.
Then I marched up to my dorm with my head held high.
Of course I've been a mess! Mandy informed me that I'm going to definitely receiving the end of a prank tomorrow and now I have that to worry about plus the thought of what Black's little scheme is!
Really is it to much to ask to just give me a little break!
September 2 – Transfiguration
Well, so far no pranks. Unbelievable huh. The Marauders sat by us again. In my defense I immediately got up to leave, but Potter grabbed my arm.
"Don't worry Lily we won't bite."
"Yeah Lily, even I admit that was a great bat-bogey hex and I am considered the champion of bat-bogeys," Black smiled. Told you he had a massive ego.
I said thank you politely and then they started talking so fast that I only remembered a few of the questions.
"So when you flourish your wand more do you find that it makes the spell have more affect?"
"Do you think the giant squid may distantly be related to Nessie? I know they look nothing alike but still."
"What would you say is the best shampoo is Lily? Bubbly Bounce or Silky Smooth?"
"Which of these animals would you choose; a stag, a dog, a wolf, or a rat. I personally would fancy rats…"
"No way dogs rock!"
"You've got to be kidding a stag is the obvious choice."
"Anyway Lily, would you say that Dumbledore and McGonagall might be in a relationship?"
"So Lily got a boyfriend?"
"What's his name?"
"What house is he in?"
"Is he as good-looking as me?"
Here I was barely able to insert that I didn't have a boyfriend. But then they just started bouncing questions off me again. They were going so fast I didn't have time to squeeze in one syllable.
Then Potter put his arm around me. I just about jumped out of my skin; I mean it was like receiving some sort of electric shock. Mmm he smelled pretty good though. And I couldn't help but think that those hazel eyes of his are really gorgeous and-
Wait! No! We are not becoming a Potter obsessed fan girl! Speaking of fan girls the head of his club, Jessie Anderson, has been giving me dagger eyes in the corridor. Pft! I don't know what her problem is. I mean just because Potter might have a tendency to like girls who don't throw themselves all over him doesn't man she has to look at me like that, it's her fault. Wait, who says Potter likes me? He's only spoken to me a couple of times. And who'd think of little Lily Evans when Tanya's around.
Terribly sorry, got off track there. Anyway the Marauders continued to talk all fast and everything tell the left almost as suddenly as they came. Potter swung his arm off my shoulders and him and the other Marauders stood up saying good-bye.
"Sorry, got to go Charms."
"Bye Lily."
"See ya guys."
"May I say that the pumpkin juice seems to be particularly fresh today?"
Then they were gone. Just like that. Then my friends began talking almost as fast as them.
"What was that all about?"
"I can't believe that James had his arm around you!"
"Wow, you didn't even get pranked!"
"James had his arm around you!"
"That was weird."
"JAMES HAD HIS ARM AROUND YOU!"
Anyway I'm just as surprised as any of them and now here I am sitting in transfiguration trying to turn a candle into a lamp thinking of James Potter and why the heck he had his arm around me.
September 2- Potions
You'd think that the staff of Hogwarts would learn that Gryffindors and Slyherins do not mix well. Of course we still have potions with them and if that's not bad enough. Good old Slughorn decided that we need to interact more with the other house. I think that his mind might be going really. There are so many signs;
5 Lately it seems that he might be becoming just as obsessed as Norman is with the Marauders. He kept going on about how all of the Gryffindor 6th year boys, even Pettigrew, (still want to rip him apart for telling. Grr) had managed to make the perfect Deflating Draught. Do the 5th years honestly care? No
4 He had to be reminded of my name at the beginning of class! Me, Lily Evans, his supposed favorite student! Honestly.
3 Last year he gave Regulus Black an O! I shouldn't even have to explain that! Stupid git.
2 I think that he might have the beginning of an infatuation with Professor Lonstrone, the Ancient Runes teacher, which should explain itself because she's definitely one of the ugliest teachers in the school. I know because I saw him trying to chat her up at the last ball. Maybe she gave him a love potion. But then that would mean she loved him! Eww bad mental picture!
And the number one reason it's obvious that Slughorn's mind is going;
1 He has put me and Black on the same table!
Seriously Slughorn what are you playing at! I mean he's never done assigned seating before but today as soon as he walked in he said he had a seating chart! So now there's one boy from Slytherin and one boy from Gryffindor and one girl from Slytherin and one girl from Gryffindor on a table.
So now instead of a table with my friends I share it with annoying prat named Larry Vane and Andromeda and Regulus Black.
Of course the first words of greeting I received from Black were "dirty little mudblood."
To which I, of course, replied "Black you're just begging to become a chicken again."
He was about to say something back but Slughorn cast a look in our direction and Andromeda nudged him. So I decided now was not the time to cause a scene so I settled with throwing him my best evil eye and getting to work.
We were supposed to be making a Swelling Solution, but it was extremely difficult seeing as how Black (even though I suppose Andromeda could've been helping him) kept throwing newt eyes into my potion. Off course it was simple enough to solve. I merely wrote him a note explaining exactly where I would stick my want if he didn't stop. Needless to say it did cease.
So I finished and now I'm sitting here passing the time by writing. Even though I have started feeling kind of itchy but oh well.
Ugh, Black's laughing at something and it's annoying the heck out of me.
I wonder what his little plan is. Hmmm I wonder if it involves potions. Maybe I should start carrying around antidotes in my bag.
IF BLACK DOESN'T STOP LAUGHING I AM GOING TO SHOVE UP MY WAND UP HIS-
Oh my……..
September 2- Hospital Wing
I AM GOING TO KILL THOSE BLOODY MARAUDERS!!!!!!!!
Right now I am sitting in the hospital wing covered in green scales from head to toe! It seems that when those charming boys were babbling like maniacs to me one of them slipped some kind of powder into my pumpkin juice!!!!!!!
If Madame Pomfrey hadn't threatened to use restraints to keep me in bed I'd be tearing up the castle looking for them.
The stupid scales are starting to turn more of a pink and Madam Pomfrey says I should be back to normal by dinner. I cannot wait; I'm trying to decide if I should just hex them into the next century or pound them into bloody pulps. Grrrrrrrrr.
Mandy and Cassie just stopped by. I ran my theory about the Marauders by them and they both agree. Cassie said that after I went running from the room she over heard Andromeda ask Black if that was the same powder Sirius had bought over the summer.
"Regulus said yeah, so I just put two and two together," Cassie informed me.
Mandy's been observing my skin.
"I wonder where he got it. Could become useful to use against Slytherins," she mumbled herself.
"It doesn't matter where he got it," I snapped at her. I mean here is one of her best friends lying on a hospital bed covered in scales and she's not even concerned.
"Help me think of a good way to get them back."
Mandy and Cassie glanced at each other.
"Lily I don't think that you want to do anything else to them," said Cassie
"Yeah Lils, I mean think about it, this was pretty tame for them," agreed Mandy.
I suppose there right but I've decided that I'm at least going to get an apology out of every single one of them.
September 2- Common Room
Well that went bloody brilliant! After I was returned to my normal self I headed down to dinner. The Marauders weren't sitting with us again (they were down the table chatting up some girls in there year) instead it was just my usual crowd plus some boys from our year. There names our Brian and Shawn and they're fairly decent. While everyone else was talking I was keeping an eye on the Marauders, waiting for them to leave the table.
Once they finally did I waited tell they got a safe distance to follow.
After tagging along behind them until we got to a nice safe empty corridor I yelled, "Oi! Marauders."
They all turned around wands held high; I wonder if this happens very often since it seems to just be a second nature them.
Then they saw me and I am furious to report that the alert looks slid of there faces even if they did still hold there wands up.
"Yes Lily," Black asked, smirking.
"Where do you guys get off? That was a stupid dirty trick and I was humiliated in front of Slytherins for crying out loud!"
"Well, we're sorry about the Slytherins but you had to learn that nobody messes with the Marauders."
"You conceited prick! Being covered from head to toe in scales isn't exactly a picnic you know!"
"Lily it could've been a lot worse it we wanted it to."
I whipped out my wand then.
"I don't give a crap! I was humiliated in front of Slytherins."
"Yeah we got that part already. Now are we going to have to duel here Lilyflower? Because in case you haven't noticed odds are kind of against you."
4 to 1.
Maybe I did want to rethink this.
I didn't get a chance to respond because who came sauntering around the corner? None other than the Black sisters.
They stopped dead in there tracks when they saw us. Then Narcissa gave this little giggle that gave me the chills.
"Well, well, what do we have here? A mudblood with her wand out in the corridors? You should know the rules Evans; I thought you were a prefect."
Here Bellatrix gave her laugh. Ugh, and I though Narcissa's was evil, Bellatrix's made you want to run and hide somewhere.
"Well, Cissy I think we'd better teach the little mudblood a lesson," she cooed while fingering her wand.
I admit that creeped me out a little. I've heard enough stories about Bellatrix to know that you'd better be a darn good fighter to even consider getting in a duel with her.
"Leave her alone Black!" Potter growled.
Thank goodness they were there is all I can say.
Here Cissy noticed them.
"Oh girls, if it isn't our darling cousin and his friends. Oh, what's this? They have there wands out too? Well, we can't have that. Let's see Bella, Andy, what should we do?"
Bellatrix laughed that scary laugh again while Andromeda just looked at us blankly.
Thankfully Sirius stepped forward then.
"Look Cissy, if you think you can take on five to three you're even crazier than I thought so why don't you take you are your precious pure-blood butts back to wherever you were going."
He was pretty red in the face, I guess he doesn't like being threatened by his cousins too much. And by the looks of it neither did they. Narcissa was shooting him death glares, while Bellatrix was just as red and angry looking as he was, while Andromeda looked (was it possible?) a little hurt.
"Fine then, have it you way Sirius, 10 points from Gryffindor each."
With that Narcissa stormed off followed by Bellatrix and Andromeda.
Once they were out of sight Sirius let out a long frustrated sigh and turned on his heel while muttering "This years going to suck with that hag in charge. 50 points taken and it's already the first day for crying out loud."
The other Marauders followed too but then Potter turned around.
"Want to walk with us Evans? We're just going to the tower."
I nodded and we walked in silence until he we got to the common room were Potter told me good-bye as they headed up to their dorm.
This is how I've ended up here waiting for Tanya to get back so I can tell her about how the Marauders rescued me from the Black sisters.
I'm still a little confused about Andromeda. I was sure I saw a little hurt in those eyes after Sirius told them off.
Ah! I have bigger things to worry about! What is that stupid little git the call Regulus Black planning against me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A/N: Wow I updated faster than I thought I would! The beginning of this chapter was supposed to be the end of the 1st but I screwed up. Sorry! Thanks to anyone whose read this chapter, hoped you liked it!
