I'm back from my weekend away and I'm thrilled at the interest of my story! (Well I consider one review damn good, so when I got more I was even happier! Woo!) Here's the next part for you all! Enjoy...It gets good :P R/R please!
James
"I swear that librarian has it in for me!" I heard Sirius call out, as he entered the common room. I glanced up at him as sat beside me.
"What happened?" I asked, hitting him on the back with a sigh.
"Just as I was about to kiss her that library freak comes over and tells us to get out! Anyway, did Lily come in here? She just ran off after the librarian gave us an hour long lecture about how our sexual behavior was a disgrace. Clearly the old hag isn't getting any 'sexual behavior' herself…" Sirius grinned as he lay back on the sofa.
"She came in about five minutes ago, but she went straight to the girl's dorm." Remus answered him, causing me to look up in confusion.
"She did?" I asked him, trying to remember if I'd seen any red-heads come into the common room. Remus looked at me as if I'd asked him what a book was.
"She walked right past us?" Remus replied, trying to help me remember. I twisted my face in thought.
"She said hello to me?" He continued, shaking his head at my forgetfulness. I shrugged, giving up on my memory and looking up to find that Sirius had risen from the sofa.
"It doesn't matter; I'm going to go to bed now anyway." Sirius yawned, even though it was only eleven at night, beginning to walk towards the boys' dorm.
"Did you get that potions essay done?" I called out from behind him. I saw his body freeze before he turned round.
"Remuuuuuuuuuussssssssss!" He began, his pleading face and desperate tone back once again to torment our clever pal Remus.
"No!" Remus groaned, putting his head down onto the couch and continuing to groan loudly.
"Come on Remus! Just start them off for us…and don't stop until you're finished! It's easy!" I grinned, shoving parchment in his direction as he stood up.
"I'm going to bed." He muttered, beginning to walk off in the direction Sirius had a few moments ago.
"That's it! You are so never allowed to help us again!" Sirius shouted after him as he reached for the door handle.
"Fine by me." Remus grinned, turning round for a quick second to send us a satisfied smirk, before shutting the door behind him.
"Sirius! What the hell were you thinking? Without him and his bloody answers we're screwed for life!" I cried angrily, hitting the back of Sirius' head.
"Relax James! Remus lives for being a smartass! He'll be dying to give us answers in a matter of hours!" Sirius smirked, throwing himself onto the sofa opposite me. I ran a hand nervously through my hair.
"We're going to have to write these essays ourselves now…I can't fail potions again or my parents will kill me…I heard them talking about sending me to Durmstrang in Germany or wherever so that there would be no girls to distract me." I shuddered. Sirius let out a quiet noise of disgust.
"Only the queers go there." He said, shaking his head at the thought of going to an all guys school.
"Except Randy Krum, that guy's amazing." Sirius added before I had the chance to point this out.
"That stupid bastard is the reason I can't bring girls to quidditch tournaments." I sighed, wiping my tired eyes and beginning to write my essay.
"Same here…He's the only reason girls go to the bloody tournament anyway, stupid git…" Sirius commented, before following my example and beginning to write.
After ten minutes I looked up to see how Sirius was getting on.
"How much have you done?" I queried, looking into his tired gaze as he yawned again.
"So far I've written the date, how about you?" He replied with a laugh
"I'm beating you, I've done the date and the title!" I grinned back, causing us both to laugh before turning back to our essays.
"Let's just write a bunch of shite and see how many marks we can get." Sirius announced as another five minutes of silence passed.
"Deal."
Lily
I let out a soft yawn as I glanced at my clock. It was only six in the morning and I could hear everybody still asleep around the room.
"Might as well get up then. Since you're never going to get to sleep after the dream you just had…" My mind told me. I winced before swinging my legs over the bed and stepping onto the cold ground.
"Don't even try not to think about it! You loved that dream and you know it! Just you and James…hand in hand…How sad." My the voice in my mind smirked. I shook the thought out of my head and slipped into my dressing gown and slippers. My best option was to head for the common room and see if anyone was up (some of the geeks liked to wake up at five to revise for the day ahead). I stepped inside and let out a sigh of disappointment at the very empty room. As I sat down on one of the sofas, I quickly stood back up, realizing that there was something beneath me. I sat back down on the now cleared cushion and looked at what appeared to be some sort of essay. After reading the title I know knew that this was the essay which was supposed to be handed in later this morning. I scanned through it and laughed at the stupidity of the student who wrote it.
"Lacewing flies in the wolfsbane potion? Who the hell wrote this? A first year?" I asked out loud to myself before looking to the bottom of the page for a signature.
I stopped breathing, my throat clenched, my whole body froze and my mind started to blank.
I stared at the words 'James Potter' in shock. I knew he was bad at potions (not that he even realized I had been in his potions class for the past five years) but I hadn't known it was this bad…
I took out my wand and hesitated as I thought about what I was planning on doing.
"He doesn't know you exist! Why are you even thinking about helping him?" My mind questioned me in horror. I bit down on my lip and took a deep breath before deciding that this was just helping out a fellow student. I ignored the protests in my head and began fixing this sloppy essay.
I was done in less than an hour, which gave me plenty of time before anyone else was bound to wake up. As I headed up the stairs I realized what a pathetic excuse for a witch I was. Why in Merlin's name had I just done a guy's essay when I had previously refused to do my best friend's?
"You, Lily Evans, must be one hell of an obsessed witch." My mind told me as I reached the girls dorm room.
"No I'm not…I'm just hopelessly in love…"
R/R please xxNoemiexx
