Fraternizing with the Enemy
"This has definitely got to be a first." Brook said.
"No, its not but I think it's the first time she has ever pretended to be working in here." Lily said.
"Why though it doesn't make any sense you said yourself she wasn't paying attention in any of the classes today so why is she now working in here?" Brook asked.
"I have no idea wait, did you see that she just gave that guy the look she gives all her boyfriends!" Lily exclaimed, getting a look from the librarian that told her to shut up or get out.
"Oh my heck she did, who is it?" Brook said trying to get a better look.
"I don't know he looks really familiar though." Lily said.
"Wait is it…….
Both the girls jaws dropped when the boy's face came into view and started flirting with Elaine.
"No way." Lily murmured.
"It's impossible, their complete opposites, and she…." Brook trailed off.
"Oh its possible why do you think she's in the library actually working, I just never thought she would like some one like him, I mean of course he's attractive, but I never thought Elaine would like prefect, perfect, Remus." Lily said shaking her head in disbelief.
"This is way too weird, I thought her being in here was weird enough but now that she's in here because she likes him is just way to weird for me, I'm gonna go to Qudditch early I'll see you at dinner." Brook said picking up her bag and starting to walk off.
"Your going to go in that?" Lily asked looking at Brook in her Hogwarts short skirt and buttoned up shirt that was unbuttoned a bit more than needed with its sleeves rolled up, and her hair still perfectly straight.
Brook laughed, "Hey I'll change, plus if you had Sirius Black at your Qudditch practice you'd be dressed like this too."
Lily then laughed too, "Don't come to dinner with any hickies."
"Hey we are just friends you know that." Brook said suddenly turning serious, "But any way I'll see you later."
Now what was she supposed to do. One friend was off flirting with one of the boys they were supposed to be seeking revenge on, and the other was off flirting with a boy that was her complete opposite.
She started to roam the library. She soon spotted James Potter hunched over a book muttering swear words. This would be fun she thought to herself.
She ran her fingers through her hair unbuttoned a button on her blouse and applied lip gloss and slowly made her way over to him
"Potter, working on our project?" She asked leaning against the table.
He looked up about to retort, when he saw her and his brain turned to mush. She was so hot it was hard for him to think of anything.
"uh, uh yea I am." He managed to get out while trying to peal his eyes away but failing miserably.
Lily laughed in her head fully aware of the effect she was having on him and she loved the power.
"Need any help?" she asked quirking an eyebrow at him.
"Uh….. um yea ….i mean no…..i mean whatever you want." He said stammering over his words confused as too how to reply.
"Well then if you don't want me too I better go." She said starting to walk away.
As she was walking away a piece of paper fell off the table. She then stopped and turned around facing him and then looking down at the paper along with him. Seeing he wasn't going to be the one to pick it up she slowly bent down making James get a very good view of her legs. She then picked up the paper and handed it to the awestruck James then walked away smiling evilly at what she had just caused.
Elaine had a new love for the library. She had never realized what a wonderful place it truly was. Of course when Remus had first suggested coming here to study she resisted thinking it was a bad place for her to be seen at but her friends wouldn't ever expect her to be here so they wouldn't bother her about her new found love.
Usually Elaine was totally obvious about her crushes, but this guy was different. Most of her old boyfriends were jocks that were extremely popular. Well Remus was popular and was in shape but he was also mysterious and that intrigued Elaine. While with her other boyfriends she could flirt with other boys while she was with them, if she ever got together with him she knew she would remain loyal to him. He flirted with her but it wasn't so obvious as to really determine it as flirting it was more like a playful banter yet there was definitely something there.
She wanted to be with him so badly but she wasn't going to rush into anything just yet. She would wait for him to make the first move she didn't want to scare him and by what she had seen so far he was definitely worth waiting for. So far he had opened the door for her wherever they went, slid the chair out for her, and had even stood when she entered a room. He treated her like a lady and she loved that, she didn't know one of her old boyfriends that had done one of those things for her. But then again Remus wasn't her boyfriend yet and she didn't know if he ever was gong to be, after all it was only the first day of school and they had the whole school year for things to happen.
Brook silently hummed to herself as she took a slow walk down to the quidditch pitch for practice. She looked down at all the flowers and how beautiful and was reminded of her mom, but she quickly switched topics to a certain guy. She was in a lovely day dream when her thoughts were interrupted by some one saying,
"knut for your thoughts."
Brook turned around and was faced by Sirius Black.
"What?" she asked confused.
"I'll give you a knut if you tell me what you were just thinking ." He said walking up to her.
She blushed and turned away embarrassed.
"What was that Brook, come on you have to tell me now." He said blocking her path.
"No, Sirius, it's a secret." She said laughing trying to get around him with her face still bright red.
She was too short though, she was barely 5'1 and he was almost 6 foot, so he easily grabbed her and pulled her close having both arms around her.
"I'm good at keeping secrets." He whispered.
"Sirius," She said laughing, "You don't want to know plus its way too embarrassing."
"Oh I get it , you were thinking about a boy." He said releasing her and smiling at her, "The only question is what boy?"
"Me? Thinking of a boy? Sirius what has gotten in your silly head?" She said trying to get around him.
"Well the fact that you, Elaine, and that new girl are attracting every males attention in Hogwarts." He said matter of factly.
She stopped and looked at him, "Sirius don't tell lies liars are bad, but you are right I was thinking of a boy." She said.
"Oh what boy?? Is he tall? Dark? Handsome? Really Brook try not to think of me too much." He said.
She laughed, " Really Sirius you shouldn't flatter yourself." She said easily lying.
She then finally got around him and started running with him chasing her and eventually he caught her and tickled her mercilessly.
"Why hello Elaine where have you been all day?" Lily asked as Elaine finally sat down for dinner.
"Well I was up in the dorm designing a dress, and did you hear about the coming back dance? I'm so excited you are going to come this year arent' you? I mean your gorgeous now and lots of people will ask you probably more then will ask me." Elaine said nicely changing the topic.
Lily smiled, she wouldn't tease her yet but it would be hilarious to tease her once brook got here. Just as she was thinking it there was a commotion at the doors leading into the hall. There were lots of voices and a girls screams and boys laughing and then more commotion until the doors opened and there appeared Brook in all her glory covered in mud and being held by her feet up side down by James potter who was also covered in mud. Brook had her wand out and was putting a tickling charm on Sirius who had random spots of mud oh him. Brook was laughing hysterically as Sirius squirmed about on the ground laughing and James spun brook around trying to get the curse off of Sirius.
Lily couldn't help but laugh it really was a funny sight as the 2 strongest, and most popular guys in school got beat by a girl who was barely 5'1 and couldn't stop laughing long enough to curse the two of them. In the end though Brook clearly won apart from slipping on some mud and landing on the 2 of them who were sprawled out on the floor (they had admitted defeat). The 3 of them then continued to laugh and couldn't stop since the whole great hall was in an uproar over the matter as well.
McGonagall soon swept over and chastised them for acting in such a childish manner. Then for continuing to laugh while she talked (through the rest of the lecture they all had random bursts of laughing). Then she yelled at them for disturbing dinner and then gave them all detention with one another for the next week and told them to clean up this mess before dinner was over.
Everyone was stilling laughing as James and Sirius got up and tried to help brook up but ended falling over again. Brooklyn who was standing up with Sirius and James on the ground bowed to the great hall and all who were laughing at her.
The three were about to enter into the great hall to eat, but McGonagall quickly informed they were not allowed to enter the great hall in such a mess. So they all turned around and walked off with Sirius giving Brook a piggy back ride and James racing them.
"How did she make friends with them that fast?" Elaine asked quizzically.
"I don't know I kind of feel betrayed in a way that she is friends with them now and I'm still seeking revenge on Potter, but she's changed a bit in the last day or so, so who knows." Lily said returning to her dinner.
"I think she's just mainly friends with Sirius you know since sam broke up with her, Sirius just has a way of making girls feel special you know and pretty, and with her dad…..
"Laine don't, she refuses to admit he's her dad anymore remember but anyway I'll go to the dance but none of these dresses or skirt things I'll just wear some jeans okay?"
"Oh but why you know skirts look so pretty on you, come on we can try and get into hogsmeade some way maybe have Brook get Sirius into telling her, we could go shopping and I'll help you pick something out but it'll be your decision. Please."
"Laine! We could get in big trouble for that, you know we aren't allowed to leave Hogwarts grounds, but shopping does sound fun, oh and I heard those new robes are there you know the ones that adjust to whatever you grow and they have that naturally thinning spell oh I would love those."
"I know and they are buy one get the second pair half off right now, plus they have every color of the rainbow right now and they can make them into dress robes too, just think you in a pair of emerald green ones that match your eyes exactly."
She laughed out loud, "I would look like a Christmas tree with my hair, so I'm going to say okay lets go I can probably get out of last period Friday plus I want some time off you know?? Its just the first day and I'm zonked, how about you have your eyes on any boys??"
"Well there really is no one suitable here truly, so I'm just going to have to go for the older boys, Mark Griffith asked me out for this weekend, but I turned him down I just am sick of him right now, and since I broke up with I'm just kind of sick of boys.
"You sick of boys I never thought it would happen, it must be a miracle, like you being in the library today….
"What are you talking about?" Elaine asked getting embarrassed her friends had found her.
"Oh please Laine don't act so innocent we saw you today in the library with Remus Lupin."
Elaine turned bright red and decided to finally give in.
"Okay yes I was in the library today with him but we were studying that's it."
Lily laughed.
"Elaine you like Remus Lupin I can't believe you."
She didn't even shake her head, she just let the color in her face deepen.
"What is up with my friends?" Lily asked, " First Brooke having some sort of love affair with Sirius and now you with Remus, do either of you remember that we are supposed to be seeking revenge on James and Sirius?"
"No we would never forget that and how big of jerks they are, but Remus, he's different, I mean you two are friends."
Lily laughed, "I know I was just teasing you, lets go help Brook get cleaned up, so we can talk to her about the shopping on Friday during last hour."
The two then exited the hall laughing at the looks the 4th year boys were giving them.
Brook stepped out of the bathroom shivering as the cold air hit her. She didn't know what she was doing. She was fraternizing with the enemy. Of course she didn't think she could exactly go through with the revenge plan anymore, but it was mostly Lily's part in it anyway.
"You're so stupid, you need to stop now before you get hurt…….again" she thought
She felt a pang of hurt as she thought of Sam and how it was just two days ago that he had broke her heart. She could still remember how he had just kissed her. How he had lightly kissed her neck and her ear. She shivered. Then he had told her that they wouldn't work.
She had been used and she hated it. She wanted to cry and scream at the same time, and she knew that if he came back to her she would let him be with her again.
She was done being used. That would be the last time. This was Lily's year, and she had taken up enough drama and time of everybody. She would be who she had always been. The girl who put on a smile for everyone and only showed how she felt when no one was looking.
The door opened and Lily and Elaine came in giggling.
"Hey guys, how was dinner I'm starving." She said continuing to brush her hair.
"Oh I actally didn't eat too much," Elaine said, "Oh I'm really hungry too."
"Oh yea so am i." Lily said.
"Lets go eat something then, there must be kitchens somewhere."
The girls then all hooked arms and set off on an adventure, a bigger one then they knew they were getting themselves into.
