Hey, I know I'm late but I have had heaps on but decided to quickly update today. Winning couples; Belle and James, Lily and Severus! There is also Remus and Amber but I need to be convinced for this couple because I am still not sure.
This story was originally going to be year by year but seeing as I would be 16 (exaggeration) when I finish I am skipping to the end of the fifth year BUT will have summaries of the previous years.
Belle's subjects: Charms, DADA, Transfiguration, Ancient Runes, Astronomy, Potions, History of Magic, and Divination
Lily's subjects: the same but instead of ancient runes Arithmancy, she took Divination instead of ancient runes because of how Divination can help her with Arithmancy. Also I wanted them to have at least a different subject which is Arithmancy and Ancient Runes. You might say she should have taken Ancient Runes and Belle Divination but Lily is an intellectual mind and so is Belle, Belle just balances academics and athletics instead of honing in on one.
"Oh gosh, I am so glad that the exams are over" Lily exclaims with relief as she plops onto the ground, and Jorjah nods in agreement and takes a seat beside her.
"Agreed, I despise the Divination exam, it was horrible. Reading a tea leaf? Puh-lease anybody could have made an outrageous prediction" Jorjah proclaims in distain with a roll of her chocolate brown eyes.
"Didn't you guys go deeper into your inner eye" Belle exclaims in amusement, she takes a seat beside her sister and sister teasingly at the pair "you two just do not have the sight. Professor Seer told us herself that books can only take you so far"
Amber plops beside her best friend and nudges her playfully "you are such a suck up in her class, I bet you will get an O just because she likes you. I however will be a T or if I am lucky P but hopefully but unlikely since she despises me A" Amber replies, she frowns a little but smiles when her friend smiles innocently back at her.
"Me, Belle Evans a suck up" Belle says mockingly while feigning disbelief, and she gasps dramatically in mock horror. "Oh I never, Amber that is just a shocking accusation, blimey no wonder you get only A's or P's in her class" she adds before bursting into laughter.
"Hey be in Transfiguration with her, McGonagall loves her" Jorjah comments as she lies on her back she gaze aimlessly at the clouds "Gryffindor gets so many points in transfiguration because of her"
"Professor Flitwick in Charms adores her and Lily, Professor Slughorn worships the ground Belle and Severus walks on 'his dream students, perfect pair in potions', Professor Astoria in astronomy adores her, and actually most teachers do. She talks a lot in their classes and doodles and the teachers class her as the perfect student" Amber says with amusement in her tone.
"No Lily is the perfect student but McGonagall hates her. Remember in second year the Marauders or whatever the group call themselves spoke badly about Severus and Lily, our Lily hexed the hell out of them. Blimey, she blimmin lost her marbles and went completely mad. That day Ravenclaw loss 40 points for each hurt student, but it completely bollocks because the boys got away with it" Jorjah proclaims, rolling her eyes quite a few times and she laughs a little at the memory.
"Damn it I missed out on that. That was when I was in the hospital wing after that albino Malfoy shoved me off my broom during the Quidditch match. Stupid albino, prejudiced, disgusting, inbred, little toe-rag and I cannot believe Sev is friends with him; he pushed me off my broom from high in the air. That blimmin hurt, damn little slimy snake" Belle grumbles angrily, her fingers comb through her fiery red tresses which are wavy with curls at the end. Her hair now reaches below her waist and Lily's hair which is straight reaches mid-back and she has a side fringe.
"I remember, Fabien and Gideon went completely mad and nearly got expelled after Fabien hit Malfoy off his broom with the beater bat and Gideon hit a bludgers which hit Malfoy while he fell. I cannot believe they done that, Hawkling was peeved" Lily says absentmindedly, still joining the conversation of her friends but her gaze flickering occasionally to one Severus Snape who sits underneath a tree reading.
Belle smiles a little "yes, I had to share the hospital wing with the cursing Malfoy who would not stop going on about how he was going to tell his father. Talking about Fabien and Gideon I wonder where they are" Belle says, looking around for two heads of orange hair.
"I don't know, it's weird you know. We are going to be sixth year students and after that only one more year of Hogwarts" Amber comments softly, a smile forms on her face as she looks at Belle "I still remember first year after the sorting, and we met. I was so nervous I swore I was going to wet myself but then I met you, and you were honestly direct and nice. I swear I would be a wreck if you weren't here, Mary and Marlene are okay but being stuck with just them"
Belle smiles, her finger closing in on a piece of grass and she plucks it out "I was nervous too, separated from Lily and my family. I remember talking to the twins and then you sat beside me. You looked scared as hell, and were sort of quiet at the start. First year was amazing, I was introduced to so many new things" Belle says airily while eyeing the piece of grass she twirls in her fingertips.
"You are going to go down in history, first year in the Gryffindor Quidditch team. No first year has been in the Quidditch team apart from you, of course" Lily comments with a little resentment but no one notices it.
"Everyone hated me, a muggle-born on the Quidditch team in her first year. Black hated me, everyone in our year did but Potter surprised me. The biggest Quidditch freak of all, and he congratulated me and taught me about Quidditch" Belle says softly, biting her cheek to prevent a smile from forming on her features.
"He also gave you his broom, a lightning bolt 1000 is one of the fastest brooms ever and the maker Jacob Lightning only created 8 brooms. Seven for the England Quidditch team players disregarding the subs and one Charlus Potter managed to get from Jacob Lightning an old friend of his" Jorjah says. She is the only pure-blood in their group of four but not like it mattered anyway. Her father Phillip Axel is in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and is also a friend of Charlus Potter. Jorjah and James do not see eye to eye, and as a child James would prank her a lot so she despises James. Which is why she is also a friend of Severus, she saw how James ruthlessly bullied the boy and knew what it was like by experience and so she did not mind Lily's friendship.
Amber however dislikes Severus a bit, the boy laughed at her numerous of times whilst Slytherins picked on her. Amber glances at Belle knowing her friend is loyal to the boy to the bitter end but is conflicted. Mary couldn't attend today's exam because Mulciber tried and failed to use the Imperius curse on her, Severus and the other Slytherin boys their year were there and laughed. Amber could see Belle is extremely upset, she fought with Severus often about the things the boys get up to but he also argues back by mentioning the Marauders.
"James Potter has always liked you, you poor thing. From first year to second year and to third where he started his courting fiasco which has continued to now" Jorjah says, pity shines in her chocolate eyes as she peers at Belle.
Belle looks quite uneasy, she dismissed everything else that came out of Jorjah's mouth after the girl said "you poor thing". James Potter she doesn't mind, not that she could ever admit it to her friends or sister apart from Amber of course. Mary and Marlene would scream her ears off, Jorjah, Severus and Lily would do the same but a million times worse.
"Look, look over there" Amber exclaims out of the blue in horror, and the group follow where the brunette is pointing and they see Severus hanging upside with a crowd circling them.
Belle storms over with Jorjah hot on her heels and she pulls out her wand "James Potter, put him down right now" Belle exclaims angrily, her fiery red locks resembling a long mane which only makes her more fierce with the angry look on her face. Lily is held behind by Amber, who knew the red head would be relentless in punishing the Marauders because of her love for the boy.
James smirks at her, and admires her features 'she always looks bloody hot when she is angry' he thinks. "Hello beautiful" he replies in a low tone, trying to sound sexy. It works on his fan girl's when he tries it out on them to see if it would work on his Belle. He runs a hand through his messy raven locks which also makes girls swoon.
"Potter put him down now" Belle demands through clenched teeth, she couldn't believe he has the audacity to flirt with her at a time like this.
"Why should I beautiful? The crowd was going to have a peek at his underpants" James replies back smoothly and he smirks sexily at her only to have her narrow her eyes back.
"Put him down" Jorjah shrieks angrily from beside her friend her wand pointed at Sirius Black just in case the boy tried to do anything to Severus.
"I will make a deal, my beautiful Belle I will let Snivellus go if you go to Hogsmeade with me" James replies ignoring Jorjah completely, and he tousles his raven locks.
Belle huffs in frustration and suddenly feels the urge to pull her hair out "do you think I would go out with a guy who bullies my best friend? No Potter, I will not go out with you and I never will because all you do is bully Sev. Now let Sev down now" Belle exclaims angrily.
James lets Severus fall to the ground roughly which causes Belle to gasp in concern "look I am leaving him alone, you are lucky Sniv-Snape that my beautiful Belle was here" James comments, he glares angrily at the boy but does it with his back faced to Belle, not wanting her to see it.
Severus struggles to stand and the students circling him laugh loudly at him, his cheeks stain pink with embarrassment as she finally stands and his eyes flicker to a concerned Belle.
He narrows his eyes when he sees pity in her apple green orbs 'does she pity me now? Am I just the pitiful boy from Spinners End who she befriended?' "I don't need help from a pathetic and filthy mud blood like her" Severus says coldly with malice and anger in his tone.
Belle unconsciously takes a step back and stands completely stunned while James tackles the lanky boy over "don't you EVER call her that Snivellus, take it back you greasy bat1" James roars angrily as he slams his fist into Severus' face.
Sirius pulls James off Snivellus after letting him hit the boy, though he only done it because Remus and Frank the prefects in their group the Marauders gave him a look.
James struggles against Sirius who restrains him "take it back you disgusting slimy, big nosed snake" James growls out angrily, his hazel eye shine with anger and hatred.
Belle comes out of her state of shock and looks at Severus with hurt showing in the depth of her green orbs "you know what, I am a mud-blood and I am proud of that. Unlike you I am not ashamed of my heritance and I don't act like I'm something I'm not, guess what Se-Snape you are a half-blood not a pure-blood. Since my blood disgusts you and dirties the air you breathe than I guess our friendship is over, Se-Sna-Snivellus" Belle says coldly, she speedily walks away and furiously wipes away tears.
Jorjah runs to Amber and Lily "James picking up Se-Snape, he released him because of Belle after Belle refused going out with him, and Snape called Belle a mud blood and she has walked off" Jorjah exclaims quickly, and Amber immediately runs off after her best friend. Lily however stands stunned, unable to move or speak.
James who had chased after Belle manages to stop her just while she speed walks down the corridor "Belle, stop, ignore him you are not filthy, pathetic or a mud blood. Forget about Snivellus" James says with his hand entwined with her hand.
Belle swivels to face him, a gush of tears cascade down her cheeks and her eyebrows furrowed "shut up, Potter. Just shut up, forget about him? You, you made him do that, you put those words in his mouth. I should forget about you" Belle exclaims angrily.
James frowns at her "don't blame me Belle, and don't make me out to be the bad guy while Snivellus is the good and innocent guy" James replies furiously, he feels sick of constantly coming second to Severus when it comes to her.
Belle runs a hand through her wavy, fiery red tresses "I-I-I James can we not talk, please" Belle says softly, she suddenly feels drained from the day's events.
James starts to hate Severus even more, first he calls her a mud-blood, makes her cry, and now she looks so sad it kills him. James pulls her towards him gently, and he gently wipes away her tears away "forget about Sni-Snape Belle, he is not worth it" James whispers softly.
Belle locks gaze with James, she starts drowns in his hazel eyes; she notices the specks of green, gold and caramel brown. She loves his eyes, unique with their colour where as hers are green the only difference is the shades of green. Her eyes widen slightly when she realizes what she is doing and she untangles their hands which she finally notices were entwined. She backs away from him "please James, just leave me alone" she says softly before she turns on her heel and walks away from her.
She lunges onto her four post crimson and gold bed and buries her face into the pillow and she screams just like Petunia told her that she does when her emotions are all over the place.
She grabs a piece of parchment deciding she needs her older sister's advice, and she takes Amber's quill on top of the drawer.
(The crossed out symbol is [ ] okay)
Dear Tuney,
It's Belle, so how are you and Samuel Wilkins? Are you guys going out yet? Has that creepy guy Vernon still asking you out? You could be the future Mrs Vernon Dursley.
You are probably wondering why I am writing this, I need your help or advice I guess. [Sev] Snape he called me a pathetic and filthy mud-blood, which means he thinks my muggle heritance or non-magical heritance is disgusting, he implied that I am inferior scum. I am sorry angry at him, I have stuck up for him for years to you, Lily, and students here at Hogwarts and he called me a mud-blood. My own housemate's told me not to be his friend but I ignored them. Tuney, what should I do?
There is also a guy, at school. He has liked me since first year, his name is James Potter and please don't tell Lily or show this to her, keep this between us. I like him Tuney, like-like him. He is on my Quidditch team, the eccentric gifts from a friend I get like the charm bracelet is from him, he also stands up for me, he makes me laugh, he [makes me happy]. I am starting to ramble, Tuney. What do I do? Lily hates him, and he bullies [Sev] Snape, Snape hates him. I can't, I am not supposed to fee l this way.
Tuney, I need your advice
Love Belle, your great sister
P.S. Can you please send me some cookies, and maybe some beef or turkey jerky. Also some pork crackle and can you tell mum and dad I love and miss them. Also do not tell mum and especially dad
P.S 2: I miss you too
Petunia looks with confusion at the letter in her hand from Belle, who after the first and second year has not really sent her letters, Lily of course did twice weekly but Belle one every three weeks. She understands with Belle balancing the sport she plays and her grades, the girl amazed her and her mum by getting straight O's along with Lily, though Lily's grade are not really straight O's with E's from Transfiguration, her favourite class with her favourite teacher, sarcasm intended. Daisy dismisses that and gloats to her friends about her smart daughter Lily, she was ecstatic when Lily got in Ravenclaw.
I will have flash backs to important parts, ask for some if you want one added and I may. Please review and thank you so much for your patience
