Chapter 8
"JAMES POTTER!" Lily shouted, when she got down to the Entrance Hall.
"You shouted?" James asked, appearing at her shoulder.
"Why have you been teasing first years?" Lily asked through clenched teeth.
"Who...who...uh, who told you that?" James stuttured.
"Melody."
"Who?"
"My ghost friend."
"Ah. Yes, well, you see...The thing is."
"The thing is, your a prat and I never should have agreed to go to the dance with you!" Lily shouted. People were begginning to gather around.
"Who have you been teasing first years with? Black, no doubt. I highly doubt Remus was involved in this." Lily shouted.
James hung his head in shame."Justin Aberson and Tyler Muttson."
Lily sighed and rolled her eyes. Then she turned and left without so much as an,"I hate you," or a "Show's over people!"
Something was wrong. This was not the Lily Evans everyone knew. She usually blew up a lot worse than that.
-----
When James tried to talk to Lily later, she refused to open her door. Two days later, in Charms, he kept throwing her notes, but she wouldn't return them.
James resorted to pulling out his enchanted paper. Sirius did the same. Along with Remus, Amanda, and Jasmine.
(Lily, Jasmine, Amanda, James, Remus, Sirius)
Why won't she talk to me?
Uh...she's mad?
Thank you Dr. Obvious.
Gee. You'd think you'd be nicer to your only hope.
Who said your my only hope?
Well, there's me too. But I'm not gonna help. Jasmine is willing to. She's your only hope.
They've got you there, Prongs.
Gee. Thanks for your support Padfoot.
You're welcome!
Er...Padfoot, I think he was being sarcastic.
Really?
Yes.
Oh... Thanks a lot Moony. You ruined my moment.
What's up with the nicknames? Moony, Padfoot, and Prongs?
That's another story for another day. Another day a long, long time from this one.
Great. Please tell us?
Well, you see. We could tell you, but then we'd have to kill you.
Yeah.
I'm cool with that. But then you'll never get Lily.
Why is everyone talking about me?
LILY!
Potter.
Please don't be mad.
Too late. I already am.
Well...This doesn't seem to be going too well...We'll just...leave.
FREEZE MOONY!
You too Jas.
Darn. And I thought we'd get away with it.
Now, why won't you forgive me?
Because your a prat.
Oh yes. That really simplifys things.
Is that Sirius? Being...Sarcastic?
Yes. Just because my name is Sirius, doesn't mean I have to be.
Right...
I'm just gonna...you know...leave.
Don't you dare!
Okay, okay. I'll stay.
Why are you mad?
Honestly? I have no idea.
Great. That really clears things up.
I'm sorry. I'm being honest.
UGH! Thank goodness this is the last day of term. I'm dying for break. Tonight is the dance.
Yup.
Are you still going with James?
Yes.
Really?
Yes.
Seriously?
Yes.
Really tru-
SHE SAID YES ALREADY!
Sorry...
Well...we'd better go. You know. Charms to work on. This is the last class of the day...
Yeah. We also need to get ready for the dance.
Who are you going with?
Remus.
Sirius.
Ah. Obvious.
Yeah...Well, bye.
See ya.
Peace out.
Later.
They put their papers away, and started working on their Charms. None of them got homework for the break. Professor Flitwick was nice that way.
"We're just gonna...You know. Go get ready now." Jasmine said after class.
"We've got four hours until the dance!" James exclaimed.
"Do you want us to look good?" Amanda asked.
"Yes." Sirius said immediatly.
"Then we have to start getting ready NOW." Lily said. With that, they turned and left.
