Chapter 17

Lily yawned and put her pillow over her head. She was so tired and yet she couldn't go back to sleep. She knew she could get at least 20 more minutes of sleep before Elaine made them get up to get ready, but sleep seemed to evade her.

Last night was certainly interesting. She had had a great lot of fun on the train. The public humiliation of stupid Potter was working out perfectly. At the great feast many had been staring at her, and Bret was extremely jealous. Everyone was wondering who she was and Elaine just told them she was a new girl.

She heard Elaine slowly start to get up. She listened to the bed hangings be shoved aside and Elaine gracefully step out on the floor. She heard her walk slowly over to Brook's bed and shove the bed hangings open and say "Good morn-crap where is she?"

Lily then sat up in her own bed and shoved the bed hangings aside.

"Where is who?" she asked looking at Elaine confused.

"Brooklyn, she seems to be missing yet again." Elaine said heading towards the bathroom.

"I wonder where she is." Lily said following suit.

As if an answer to her question Brooklyn opened the door to their dormitory and came in. She was wearing running shorts and shoes and looked a bit out of breath.

"Where have you been?" Elaine said sticking her head out of the bathroom, "You only have a bit of time now to get ready and shower."

"I already showered and dried my hair in the prefect's bathroom, now I just need to straighten it." Brook said going over to her trunk.

"Well that certainly is nice but you still didn't answer me, where were you?" Elaine asked again.

"I went running, gosh can't you mind your own business." Brook said pulling out her clothes and giving Elaine a crusty.

Elaine was about to give a reply when Lily decided to cut in, "Let's just get ready guys you can get at each other's throats later."

They then got ready sharing the other girls they shared their dorm with. It was more crowded this year since Brooklyn and Lily were getting ready and the plastics (that's what the girls called the girls who got ready and looked pretty much perfect even though they were sluts) complained the whole time, but they didn't even realize that Lily and Brooklyn had been replaced by 2 new girls.

Lily was putting in her contacts when she saw Brooklyn start to leave.

"Where are you going?" she asked.

Brooklyn turned around, "Um I was just going down to the great hall." She said nonchalantly.

"Why won't you wait for us, I'm almost done." Lily said resuming putting in the tedious little things.

"I'm not even close to being done; my hair is just not working today." Elaine said looking extremely frustrated.

"Well, I kinda promised I'd meet someone, how about I'll save you guys a seat!" Brooklyn said.

"Okay then, if you really want to just not by any boys ok, I'm not really in the mood to see anyone except for Bret." Lily said. She missed him surprisingly and loved the way he got jealous around other boys.

"Um……okay whatever I'll see you in a bit." Brooklyn then walked out of the room.

"Was it just me or did she look like she got more ready than usual?" Elaine said poking her head out of the bathroom.

"She did, but you know it could be the whole dumped by Sam thing or it could be this person who she had to meet." Lily said finally getting the stupid contact in her eye, "I'm going to go get dressed now, are you wearing a skirt today?"

"You know what I give up!" Elaine shouted coming out of the bathroom looking rather flustered.

"O….kay, may I ask what you give up too?"

"My hair, I've decided I'm going bald, where's the stupid transfiguration book?" Elaine asked looking in her book bag.

"You mean charms? Or there is a very nice balding potion." Lily said starting to laugh.

"I look horrible, and everyone looking at me will turn away in disgust." Elaine said starting to sulk.

"Laine, I'm sorry but get over yourself, you are always gorgeous, and besides what guy do you have to impress?" Lily asked.

Elaine looked outraged for a moment then, turned to Lily and said, "Remus Lupin."

"What?" Lily asked wondering if she was hearing correctly.

"Nothing" Elaine mumbled and then ran giggling out the door leaving Lily alone and thinking her two friends should be put in St. Mungos.

"Let's see……..Betty-Lyn? Hmmm no, well then Charly-Lyn?"

Brooklyn laughed almost falling over from it. Sirius was sitting next to her trying to guess her name but was having no luck on it.

"You really are clueless Sirius here I'll give you a clue my first name can be a stream of water."

"Okay then," Sirius said putting a look on his face that said he was trying to think hard but was really just looking dumb, but it was very attractive and Brooklyn was having trouble not looking at it, "Um…. River-Lyn?"

Brook shook her head giggling making many turn there heads.

"No? Well then Lake-Lyn? Stream-Lyn?"

Brook continued to shake her head.

"Fine then I give up but be assured I will find out and then revenge will happen."

The two then began to talk about random things and were on the subject of how weird muggle cars were when James walked up and said,

"Padfoot, mate I'm looking for the quidditch team, will you help me find them, we're going to have a meeting tonight and I need everyone to be there."

"Yea sure." He said standing up and looking around the great hall.

"Look over there is the little scrawny seeker kid, and then I'm beater you chaser there is Philip Caracus that is the other beater, Parley Prewitt the keeper, John Barton the other chaser……. and where's the other chaser……..BROOKLYN!" Sirius shouted, he turned around and then said in a quieter voice, "Brooklyn?"

"Good job." She said looking more embarrassed now.

"You've, well you've changed since last year." He said looking her up and down.

"Uh, I hope in a good way." She said smiling a bit.

"Definitely there, I can't believe I didn't recognize you, but then again I don't know anyone who really has." Sirius said smiling.

"Well your right there, but uh I'll be going now I'll see you later." She said getting up and walking away.

He grabbed her, and brought her back. "Bye friend." He mumbled in her ear making her have chills go up and down her back.

She laughed a bit and then replied back, "Bye friend."

She walked away then to her friends who had just entered the great hall.

"Lily, you're looking especially hot today someone you want to impress?" Brook asked sitting down with them and eating a muffin.

"More like get revenge on." Lily said laughing.

They were then listening to Elaine start talking about how this year they were finally allowed to go to the Christmas ball at Hogwarts(I know I hate these most of the time, but I have something going on in it that will make sense later on.) when they were handed their schedules.

They compared them and soon realized that first hour that Elaine and Lily had advanced magical creatures while Brook had free hour in which she rejoiced. Second hour Elaine went off to magical maladies for those pesky problems while Brook went to advanced honors magical creatures and Lily had free hour. Third hour they all had potions together, and then Lily went off to Advanced Divination while, Elaine had Free hour and Brook had Quidditch. Fourth hour they all had Charms and then it was the end of the day. That was the schedule for them on Monday and Wednesdays.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays first hour they all had Transfiguration, and then Lily and Elaine had free hour while Brook went to advanced honors Defense against the Dark arts. Third hour Lily had advanced honors charms, while Brook had free hour and Elaine had Advanced Honors Divination. Fourth hour Brook and Elaine had advanced charms while, Lily had Advanced Ancient Ruins. Then on Fridays first hour they all had free hour. Second and third hour they had History of Magic. Fourth hour Brooke had beginning ancient ruins while Elaine and Lily had advanced Defense against the dark arts.

It was a very confusing schedule (if you understood it or read it 10 points) but most of the time they had classes together so it would be fun. They all talked for a while before they realized Lily and Elaine were going to be late for class. Brooke laughed at them and teased them because she had no class.

Once they were gone though she had nothing to do and so she decided to roam the school. While she was making her way outside she was picked up from behind and twirled around. She laughed and she was finally set down. She turned around and saw Sirius.

"Hello Brooklyn." He said.

"Hey friend." She replied smiling at him and still laughing a bit.

"Now Brooklyn what would a good student like you be doing out of class the first day?" He asked.

"Me a good student?" She asked laughing, "That's Lily, not me. Well I have free hour and I have no friends."

"Well Brooklyn you now have one friend, let me give you the grand tour of the castle from a marauders point of view." He said bowing to her and making her laugh.

"You're never going to let me forget my name now are you?" She asked.

He shook his head and laughed.

"Well then let's get going." She said laughing, hooking arms with him and having him lead her in some direction, "What do you have next hour?"

"Honors magical creatures." He replied.

"Are you kidding me? I'm stuck with you next hour too…..I'm just kidding okay!"

He then took the fake look of hurt off his face and began to chase her tickling her making her laugh.

Elaine was bored stiff. Magical creatures were never really her thing, more like Brook's but she came here anyway because it was an easy class to get an easy grade in. The only thing that was keeping her from sluffing the class was Lily and the lovely specimen before her.

He had sure grown up over the summer and she could hardly resist him. Of course they were completely different types of people. Her, a heart breaker, a flirt, someone who just got by in school. Him he was the handsome, mysterious type. The guy you could depend on who was always there for you. He always got his work done and had the 2nd top grades for guys. She was rebellious and could party all night, while he might just prefer a slow song here and there.

They were so different, yet she felt they could work. She thought about her brother and her best friend. They were completely different and look how that turned out. She could make it work though, she was so sick of guys that wanted her for one thing and only one thing. He was different though and he would listen to her be who she really was.

She glanced at him and looked him up and down and found herself in a lovely day dream. She was just getting to a good part in it when Lily shoved her in ribs and said

"Stop day dreaming the lesson's over now we have to pair off in groups of two."

"K, wanna be my partner Lily." She said standing up of the ground and pulling down the skirt she was wearing.

"I would love to but we have to be with boys so go over to your fan club and choose one." Lily said walking off.

"jerk." She mumbled underneath her breath looking around for a partner who would know what they were doing.

It was then she noticed he didn't have a partner. He looked up at her and smiled. She smiled back and then resisted the urge to jump up and down in ecstasy. He then started to walk over to her. She then started to go ballistic in her head out of happiness and of nervousness.

"Elaine," He said when he had finally gotten to her, "If you don't want to pick from your fan club do you want to be partners with me?"

"I'd love to." She said hoping she didn't say it with too much sincerity scaring him.

"Good come on there is some shade over there." He said hooking arms with her and walking to a spot under a tree making her laugh.

James Potter was having the hardest time concentrating. The girl of his dreams, his fantasies of everything he wanted was right in front of him wearing not the most modest of skirts.

She was saying something or another about their dumb assignment. When he heard they were going to be partners with someone he was the first one to walk over to her and tell her she could have the privilege to be his partner. They were now sitting down under a tree and the skirt had hiked up a few inches on her thigh from sitting down.

Her legs were so tempting and mesmerizing he was having trouble doing anything else but staring at them.

Of course she had noticed by now the effect she was having on him and with the whole total revenge scheme going on she was going to make this the most fun possible for her, especially considering how he still didn't know who she was-the stupid prick.

She laughed silently and then unbuttoned the first button on her shirt that really made no difference except for the look of pure joy on his face.

He was such an arrogant jerk. Instead of asking her to be his partner like a gentlemen, he told her she was able to be so lucky as to be his partner. She laughed again, "yea right" she thought. More like he was lucky to be her partner.

She then assigned him ¾'s of the assignment and he just nodded his head. This was too easy for her, and now she would hardly have any work now because he had just agreed to do mostly all of it.

The bell then rang, knocking him out of his reverie.

"Okay then you do all the research and do the rough draft of the assignment and I'll rewrite it and make it look pretty okay?" she said walking away.

"Oh and get it to me by 2nd hour tomorrow." She said walking away laughing at his dumbstruck face, before turning around and saying, "Try not to drool to much this time okay?"

Unfortunately for him the whole class had heard that time and now the rumors of him drooling over a girl were going to spread everywhere like wild fire. And true to that everyone knew that James Potter was drooling over a girl.

"I can't wait until I can get her in a broom closet and make this all worth the stupid trouble." He muttered following the rest of his class up to the school who were now laughing at him.
