Chapter 7: Dares, Dates and Declarations

Laura's POV

I woke up early this morning and just sat there thinking about Remus. I didn't give a flying batshit that he was a werewolf. I was hurt because he didn't tell me. I shook my head and got out of bed. I snuck over to Izzie's bed and opened the hangings. She looked so peaceful. I just had to wake her up.

"Aguamenti," I muttered and aimed at Izzie's face. She woke up spluttering and glared at me.
"I hate you!" she mumbled and got out of bed.

"Good morning Princess Sunshine!" I retorted and grinned. Izzie smiled weakly back. We couldn't be mad at each other for long. We were like sisters, always bickering but could make up in seconds. We would defend each other until the very end. I remembered back in first year when Izzie defended against the Slytherins.

*FLASHBACK*

Me and Izzie were at the Black Lake studying for Charms. Well I was, Izzie was pretending to chat up boys. Typical. I rolled my eyes and looked up. Izzie was trying to get rid of this second year. I laughed and turned back to my work. Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted some Slytherins. To be exact, Lucius Malfoy, Bellatrix Black, Narcissa Black and Severus Snape. I shoved the books in my bag and Izzie's in hers.

"Izzie. Snake alert," I called. Her eyes widened and she ran and took her bag from me. They were forever targeting her as she was a Muggleborn.
"Awwhhh look Lucius. I thiml the ickle firsties are trying to run from us." Bellatrix sneered. Izzie was shaking; Bellatrix was her main torturer.
"I agree Bella. Let's talk to them. Accio!" Malfoy called. I felt my body zooming backwards. I looked to the side and Izzie was doing the same. We fell at their feet.

"Look Cissy they're worshipping us. Who would have thought a Gryffindor worshipping a Slytherin?" Bellatrix laughed. Izzie got up suddenly.
"The day I worship you is the day You-Know-Who wins the war!" she hissed.
"How dare you! The Dark Lord will win and he will kill you Mudblood!" Malfoy growled. I pulled out my wand and so did Izzie.

"Crucio!" Bellatrix screeched and aimed at me. I prepared for the pain but never received it. Izzie had jumped in front and was now on the floor, writhing in pain. I was touched that Izzie cared gor me that much. Then I remembered that Bellatrix and co. were still there. I walked right up to Bellatrix and slapped her.
"YOU BLOODY BITCH! YOU HURT MY BEST FRIEND! YOU LITTLE BAG OF SH-" I screamed at her but was stopped. James Potter and Sirius Black had just come over.

"What did they do to her?" Sirius asked me quickly.
"The-the- torture curse." I was barely holding myself together.

Sirius looked up at the others. I could see the pure fury in his eyes. He sent a hex at Malfoy and he fell flat, paralysed. It must have been the Body-Binding curse we learnt today. He blocked another hex from Snape and James joined in. It turned into a full on duel. Two first years against three fourth years and a first year. I remembered watching in awe until something hit me and all went black.

*FLASHBACK OVER*

"Hello you there?" Izzie was shaking me.
"Yeah yeah," I said, dragging myself from the end of Izzie's bed.
"Sure. You were off in LaLa land for a bit." Izzie looked worried. I could see that she was concerned.

"Was just thinking about the time you saved me in first year." We both shuddered. Izzie was so scarred that she wouldn't go outside without at least one of the Marauders being there.
"Well enough of that. Let's wake up the others and start beautifying!" Izzie sang and went over to Marls. She has to go pick the easy one. Waking Lily up was like a death wish unless you had a shield charm around you.

"Lils?" I poked her with my wand.
"I'm up, I'm up," she grumbled.

Izzie's POV

We all spent the first hour in the shower. Doing the basics like washing our hair, shaving, exfoliating and washing our faces. Lily was in charge of our hair.

Lily's POV

I studied the girls carefully. I flicked my wand at Marlene and her hair went up in a bun with a few curls left hanging. I flicked my wand at Laura and her hair was curly and up in a twist. Izzie's hair was the hardest to choose. In the end, I straightened it and did a half up- half down style. My own hair went up in a French knot. Our hair looked gorgeous. Laura was gonna do our makeup.

Laura's POV

For all us girls, I decided on a sassy look that set off our dresses. Marlene had a peach blush, pink lipstick and yellow eyeliner to show off her cat-like eyes. Lily had the simplest makeup. Some pink gloss and some brown eyeliner. My make up was pretty simple as well. Red lipstick with gold eyeliner. Izzie looked amazing though. Red tinted lipbalm, black eyeliner and violet eyeshadow. We all looked stunning. The best part was... We knew it.

Izzie's POV

I checked the clock again. It was finally 8.
"Well ladies it's go time!" I grinned and my friends grinned back.

"One at a time. Marls first 'cause she's meeting her date outside tge portrait hole. Laura next, you're meeting Amos in a bit. Lily and me will come down after each other. Ok? Good? I'm glad that's sorted!" I explained to the girls. I quickly cast the Sonorus charm on myself.

"Presenting the Gryffindor fourth year girls! Miss Marlene McKinnon!" I called. Marlene glided down the stairs and towards the portrait hole. Oh and winking at some second year kid who practically fainted.
"My partner in crime, Miss Laura Smith!" I called again. Laura walked down the staircase and Remus' mouth dropped.
"Our feisty little redhead friend, Miss Lily Evans!" Lily walked gracefully down the stairs and stood next to Laura. They were introducing me. I muttered the counter-charm and prepared myself.

"Now this is probably the first time you've seen her dressed up. We give to you the one and only Izzie Semmé!" Lily and Laura shouted. I walked to the top of the stairs and strutted down. Most people's mouths were hanging open in shock.
"Dudes shut your mouths you'll catch flies!" I laughed with Lily and Laura. Most of them flushed and carried on with what they were doing.
"Girls me and Marls have to go. She's meeting Alex and I'm meeting Amos," Laura called from the portrait hole and stepped out. There was a moment of silence before Remus, well, exploded.

"SHE CAN'T GO WITH DIGGORY!" Remus shouted.
"I think you'll find she can and she is," Lily replied coolly. She always knew how to keep people in check.
"Why can't she go with Diggory?" I asked coldly. I was still majorly pissed he had hurt one of my best friends.

"HE'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR HER!" Remus roared and stormed out of the common room.
"Jealous much?" I glanced at Lily who had a smirk on her face.

"Just a tad," Sirius said. He and James had just come down the staircase and probably heard the whole argument.

"Izzie let's hurry up and get down there so Remus doesn't do something stupid. A guy with over-reacting hormones is never a good thing especially when they're angry. Now MOVE!" Lily shouted and ran out the common room. Me, James and Sirius shrugged and ran after her. It's not as if we had something better to do.

Remus' POV

I stormed out the common room and took a shortcut to the Great Hall. I took a deep breath and walked inside. I spotted Laura instantly. She was dancing with Diggory and was laughing. She looked beautiful.

"Mate I actually think you should go break them up. LATER!" Izzie added on as she caught my collar. I was going to go over there and physically shove them apart.
"Why not now?" I whined. Merlin, I sounded like Sirius.
"Because I have a plan!" Izzie sang and all of us guys face-planted ourselves.

"Lily I love you but why do you let her come up with crazy plans? Lots of things normally go 'POOF'!" James indicated with his hands. Lily rolled her eyes and sighed. Izzie, with a determined look, stormed over to James and stomped on his foot. In high heels. James was cursing under his breath and glared at Izzie. She smiled innocently. The day that girl is innocent is the day I date a Slytherin. That is never gonna happen.

"Don't underestimate my plans next time!" Izzie smiled sweetly.
"Ok. Lily you distract the teachers, Sirius distract the DJ. James and I will dance near Laura and Amos. I'll distract Amos and Remus you go talk to Laura. Capiche?" Izzie rattled on. We obviously looked confused so she repeated it again.
"Now capiche?" Izzie looked round daring one of us to refuse.

"Just say yes for your personal and mental health safety!" Lily muttered. Me and the guys nodded in answer to her question.

Laura's POV

Me and Amos were waltzing slowly around the Hall. We were both enjoying each other's company. Izzie came over and started chatting to Amos. He offered to dance with her. Then I was left alone. I was on my way to the drinks table to grab a Butterbeer when I bumped into Remus. He looked handsome but distressed in his navy dress robes.

"Remus are you alright?" I asked concernedly. I might not date the guy but I'll still be nice to him.
"Yeah look, I am so sorry about-" Remus started but I cut him off.
"Save it. I don't want to know." I walked off towards the door.

Before I reached it, Remus shouted something.
"Laura Olivia Smith! Don't walk out this hall!"

I was annoyed now. Who was he, the boy I bloody loved to bits and was a werewolf, to tell me what to do? I stalked right up to him glaring. He had a manic look in his eyes.
"Or what? What will you do?" I shouted at him.
"This."

He swooped down and held my face. He kissed me. He kissed me. I put my arms round his neck and threaded my fingers through his hair. Wait how did I manage getting my legs round his waist? Oh well. I went back to snogging. Very good technique.

Brain is melting.
Is melting.
And is a big pile of goo.

"Ahem!" Someone coughed. I ignored them and carried on kissing Remus.
"Ahem!" They coughed again. Can't they see I'm busy at the moment?
"I SAID AHEM!" The person shouted and me and Remus turned round. We just saw James and Sirius grinning like loonies (pretty much normal for them), Lily with an 'awwhh' look and Izzie grinning like the Cheshire cat. I glared at her.

"Whatever you two think, watching you snog is VERY traumatizing. Emphasize on VERY!" Izzie smirked.
And this folks is how I got back with my boyfriend.
