aVOIDING POTTER OR NOt
Author- I was -POTTER.loves.EVANS- but I changed my name… AGAIN! It is now: -JP4LE- lol…
Disclaimer- Even though JK did kill of ALL of the Marauders, Lily, Dumbledore, Mad Eye, Fred, Dobby, Hedwig (tones of others) I still love her, and who can blame me! She IS the BEST FREAKIN AUTHOR EVER!
Dedication- I am dedicating this to Steve Robert Irwin, the greatest crocodile hunter, the best wild life warrior and the bravest man, who was killed in a freak accident by a bloody stingray. A stingray and that's all it took to steal one of Australia's most toughest, bravest, caring man and left us with nothing, nothing except grief, and hurt, and sadness, and mourning. A precious person stolen from our heats, a true Aussie icon. Rest in peace Steve, because you'll always be a wild life warrior, in heaven and on earth and you shall be remembered EVERY SINGLE DAY by EVERY SINGLE AUSSIE… r.i.p
Notes- Okay yeah, I know you all probably have you're torches and pitchforks ready to kill me, and I'm sorry okay, I'm SORRY! First of all, I know its been what, three weeks and no update? I have reasons. One: I was home from school with school sores (I could have gone on the computer but I chose not too, because I was out at my block almost EVERY single day for so many hours) two: I had to spend FOUR days at a show, one with rides and showbags and stuff. Two days were the dog trials (the MOST boring thing ever, sitting there watching dog after dog after dog rounding up sheep) and then hanging out at the actual show. It wasn't as good as it could have been because I was sick but anyhoo. Three: My brother came down from where he lives which is hours away and I chose to spend time with my brother over my computer (it came VERY CLOSE!) and yeah. Then he had to go home Friday and I cried. And yes I admit it, even though I've seen him get on that bus to leave me so many times I've ALWAYS cried, me the only one in my family to cry.
Also, I set my alarm for three thirty last night and it DIDN'T wake me up! I slept through it and when I woke up later in the morning I was thinking- oh shit! But alas, I have managed to get on and spend most of my time writing this up for you. I love you all who read through my excuses and deep apologies.
I'M SORRY!
Oh and I believe I've formed an 'I-hate-Carly-Wade' Club. You should read the feed back I get on her; it IS quite enjoyable to read. Oh and to those members, hang with me, she WILL BE GONE! I promise you that! Mwahahahahaha! Give suggestions on ways to get rid of her!
And you can't kill me because it is my birthday in TEN DAYS! Mwahahahaha! I'll be fifteen, finally! ;)
And now on to the chapter, the thing we've ALL been looking forward to…
Lily's pov
As usual on a Friday morning you would find me at the Great Hall, eating breakfast; and this is one of those mornings. And here I am, sitting down fighting Remus for the Nutella and just living life like I normally would.
"Remus! Gimme the bloody Nutella! Stop hogging it!" I shouted as I reached for the so named jar and Remus held it out of reach.
"Why? Why do you need it?" he asked suspiciously.
"Because I want to spread it on my face" I replied sarcastically.
"Really? Well here let me do it for you!" he grabbed a knife, put some Nutella onto it and tried to spread it onto my face.
"NO! Remus I was being bloody sarcastic you know that! Now gimme the Nutella you chocolate obsessed weirdo!!"
He grinned and hugged the jar.
"I can't let you have it Lily, I'm sorry but I need to protect it"
"From what?" I asked grumpily.
"You're stomach… you might eat all of it!"
"Geez Remus I'm not that hungry! I just want a little bit!"
"No, no you can't even have a drop!" he hugged the jar tighter.
"Emm! Will you please tell you're boyfriend to give me the god damn Nutella!" I asked rounding on Emm. She looked startled.
"Remus could Lily please have the jar of Nutella?" she asked politely.
Remus sighed and handed it to me and I stuck my tongue out.
"It's not hard to be polite you know Lily" he said biting his toast.
"Thank you Emm" I said smiling innocently.
"I meant to me!" Remus said grumpily.
I spread the Nutella onto my toast happily while Remus watched sourly. As soon as I finished he made a grab for it, but James bet him to it and put some on his own toast and slid it down the table.
The first years grabbed it and began eating out of the jar and Remus whimpered. Emm patted him on the arm.
"It's okay Remus we'll buy you some chocolate in Hogsmeade" she said kindly.
He nodded but glared at the first years.
Just then Peter came running up to the table as Sirius threw a bread roll at Becky. She retaliated and threw it back, missing and hitting a Ravenclaw boy on the head.
"Oi who threw that?" he asked grumpily.
"Sorry" Becky said and he grinned, turning back to his friends. He then boasted very loudly; "She wants me"
And then Sirius grabbed a bread roll threw it at him and the boy turned around and came face to face with Sirius Black and Sirius glared. "No she doesn't, she wants you're mum's chest hair"
He turned around quickly while the rest of us burst out laughing.
"Hey Pete where have you been?" James asked as Peter slid into a seat beside him.
"I slept in! Why didn't you guys wake me up?" he asked pouting.
"We couldn't wake you up, you were snoring too loudly and you almost broke our ear drums" Sirius said and I frowned at him.
"Sirius! That's so mean!" Emm said crossing her arms.
"What? I was only joking Emm! You're just too… nice…"
"Really? Thanks Sirius!" she said beaming.
"What I should have said was; a little too nice!"
Emm stuck her tongue out and I turned around in time to see Carly walk into the Great Hall.
I groaned.
"What?" Becky asked turning around in her seat to see what I was groaning at.
Her face turned into an angry scowl and she said; "Oh look it's the wicked witch of the west"
Emm grinned. "Have you seen the Wizard of Oz?"
"Maybe" Becky replied not taking her eyes off Carly.
"Jamie goo goo there you are!" Carly called hurrying over.
"Jamie goo goo there you are!" Becky mimicked in a very high girly voice. I had to try not to laugh. Carly gave Becky a dirty look and then said; "Jamie goo goo do you have a boo boo?"
Sirius and Remus both choked on their breakfast and Becky and me laughed. Emm and Peter tried their best not to but I swear I saw Emm smile.
Carly gave us venomous looks before squeezing herself in between Peter and James.
"I cut my finger when you called out to me" James said sucking his thumb.
"Oh Jamie goo goo are you sucking you're thumbie wumbie?" Becky asked in a mock worried voice.
We all laughed again and Carly sighed.
"James sweetie let's go somewhere"
"Given up on you're little pet name Carly?" Becky asked eating her cereal.
"Not that its any of you're business but I don't always have a pet name for James"
"What you mean is, you only have nauseating pet names that you use far too often and you're now becoming bored with them or you either gave them up because Becky's mocking you" I said and Carly rolled her eyes.
"Not all of us think the same things as you Lily" she said glaring at me.
"I never said everyone did" I replied quickly and she turned to look at me.
"Not all of us have… red hair!" I cocked an eyebrow. If she wants a fight, I'll give her a fight.
"Not all of us parade around with half our arses hanging out like you Carly" I shot back quickly and James flashed me a grin.
"Come James, we're leaving" she said standing up and pulling him by the collar.
"I haven't finished eating yet" James said as she pulled him away.
"That was cool Lily! You should have seen her face! Oh god she really wants to kill you now!" Becky said smirking.
"Hey remember at the ball when she threw a knife aiming for Lily but she bent down at the last second and the knife just missed my hand?" Sirius asked with a grin.
"Oh god don't remind me about that! It wasn't funny either, it was very scary" I said munching into my coco pops.
"True, true but looking back on it, it was a little funny you have to admit" Remus said and I nodded.
"Yeah super funny"
The bell rang and we stood up.
"What have we got?" Becky asked me and I looked at Remus who smiled.
"Care of magical creatures for me, Lily, James and Emm, but you and Sirius have Divination"
Becky groaned loudly so that passers by gave her odd looks.
"What are you looking at?" Sirius asked and they hurried off, whispering in hushed tones.
"Ha ha you have Trelawney! She's such a fraud" I teased, punching Becky on the shoulder.
"Yeah but Kettleburn's so old he's like a dinosaur" Becky said and I laughed.
"True"
"Come on Lily and Remus! We have to get to class! We'll see James there!" Emm said happily.
"Only if he escapes the terrifying dragon" I mumbled but Becky heard me and laughed as we all made our way into the Entrance Hall. Peter left for Astronomy and Emm and Remus walked towards the doors.
"Yeah, is there such thing as the Dragon of Oz?" she asked with a grin.
"No but there is now, you can tell you're kids that. You can tell them all about how you had to encounter her"
"Yeah and I'll tell them how their Auntie Lily made her speechless and angry and her chances of dying even more worse then they already were" she replied and I laughed and hugged her.
"I'll see you later Becks"
"Bye! Cya Emm! Bye Remus!" Becky called and Sirius waved as they walked off upstairs. I smiled and ran over to Emm and Remus and we headed out to the Gamekeepers hut. Hagrid lives there but the lesson is held just outside it. Hagrid is sometimes the relief teacher for whenever Kettleburn is sick. Which is only about a few times every two months.
I linked arms with Emm and we saw the Slytherins waiting outside the Entrance Hall.
"Look at those Gryffindorks!" one of them yelled and the other's laughed.
"Look at those Slytherfreaks!" Remus yelled back and me, Emm and him laughed at the looks on their faces. They turned away and me and Emm patted Remus on the back. "Good job Remy, we love ya!" I said and he grinned.
"Well they can't keep getting away with it can they?"
"Nope" Emm said and me and Emm skipped the rest of the way down to the hut.
When we got there, James wasn't there. I frowned. Where did he and Carly go?
"Where's James?" I asked out loud and a voice behind me said; "right here" and I jumped.
I turned around and James grinned as I clutched my heart.
"Never do that again" I said and he and Emm laughed.
"Hurry up Moony! It doesn't take all day to get down here!" James called as we all turned and saw Remus dawdling along which was very unusual.
"Why are you walking so slow Remus?" Emm asked and he smiled.
"I feel lazy at the moment" he replied and I shook my head.
"Since when has Remus "chocolate obsessed weirdo" Lupin ever been lazy?" I asked grinning.
"Ever since he saw you're face" James replied and I glared at him but he only smiled.
"You're mean" I stated and he grinned.
"Not all of us are nice people like Emm" he replied.
"You are so annoying!" I said putting my hands on my hips.
"Don't hate me cos you aint me darlin" he winked and walked off over to Remus, and I grinned and shook my head and saw Emm looking at me with a knowing smile.
"What?"
"You so like him" she smirked.
"Shut up I do not" I said but I didn't look her in the eye.
Emm knew how I felt, and I know that. She hugged me tightly and I hugged her back.
"You should tell him Lils" she said softly so no one else could hear her.
"Nah, he's with Carly. It doesn't matter" I replied.
"Yes it does" she said pulling away.
"Oh, I'll get over it don't worry about me" I said smiling reassuringly. But who was I trying to tell that to, Emm or myself?
"Right class settle down!" Kettleburn said in his same old wrinkly crackly old voice.
The class sat down on the grass and most gave him their attention. I sat with my legs crossed and was playing with the grass.
Emm was lying down on her back and looking up at the sky.
Remus was sitting next to her like me and was watching her and smiled.
James sat on my other side and kept throwing grass at me.
"Rightio! This lesson we will be learning about the Fwooper. Now can anyone tell me about the Fwooper?" Kettleburn looked around at everyone expectantly, his eyes landing on me. "Miss Evans?" he asked, his voice pleading. I sighed, the poor old man, he really needs a holiday!
"The Fwooper is an African bird that provides quills. It comes in a range of colours such as green, yellow, orange or pink and its defense mechanism involves signing a song which eventually drives the listener insane" I said and he smiled.
"Excellent! Ten points to Gryffindor!"
James punched me softly on the shoulder and I smiled.
"Nice one Evans" he said grinning and I rolled my eyes.
"It wasn't that hard, I read it in the book of Magical Creatures and Where to Find Them" I replied but James wasn't listening, he was glaring at something over my shoulder.
Victor Crabbe and George Goyle were sitting there with their tongues lolling out of their mouths and their eyes rolled into the back of their heads and the other Slytherins were sniggering and laughing.
"You know some people can't help it if they're insane, some are born with it. But if you'd like to have to spend you're time in hospital then I can help you get there" James said threateningly and I smiled.
"Settle down now class, settle down! Five points from Slytherin for inappropriate and disrespectful behaviour! And five points also from Gryffindor for making threats Mr Potter!" Kettleburn informed the class.
James scowled and looked at me. "Sorry Lily, I just lost all of those points you got"
"That's okay, I can win them back" I said grinning and James smiled too.
"Right, and are they dangerous?" Kettleburn asked and I put my hand up.
"They don't class them as the most dangerous creatures; there are more dangerous ones like the Acromantula for example"
Kettleburn nodded. "Another ten points to Gryffindor"
I grinned at James who nodded approvingly. "Not only did you get them back but you got an extra five. Geez Evans, you are smart"
I threw some grass at him. "Smarter then you and you know it"
"Smart and cheeky" he said smirking. "And you know I did beat you on that Transfiguration test we had to do in the holidays?"
"As you keep reminding me. That was obvious, you're better then me at Transfiguration"
"Why did we have to do a test in the holidays anyway?"
"To prove what we can do. McGonagall said it was for practice. We had to be prepared for our NEWTS"
"But they're ages away! They're in July!"
"That's not ages away!" Emm said shrilly.
I smiled. "Relax Emm… they are sort of"
"Emm's right, they aren't. James you should start studying" Remus said looking at James.
James groaned. "Reeeeemus! Can't you let me copy off you?"
Remus' eyes almost popped out of his head. "Copy! No James! You won't be able to copy off me in NEWTS! If you get caught you get an automatic zero and-"
"I know, I know! Gosh Remus I was just joking! You need to take a chill pill!"
Remus sighed and shook his head. I smiled and patted his arm. "Don't worry, if you die from being annoyed too much I'll make sure to eat the rest of you're chocolate stash under you're bed"
"YOU WILL NOT!" Remus yelled making everyone look at him. He blushed and I sighed and looked up at the sky, clouds were drifting past slowly.
"You like looking at clouds as much as you like looking at the stars?" James asked looking up as well.
"Nah, stars are better. Its darker and they actually tell stories" I replied.
"Clouds tell stories too! Look, I see a rabbit, chasing a bear" I laughed and looked to where he was pointing.
"I see it too" I said nodding.
"Now you just have to make up a story going along by what you can see" he said softly and I smiled and punched him.
"Oi! What was that for?"
I shrugged as he rubbed his arm.
"I felt like it"
"Now look who's mean" he said grinning.
"We're not all nice like Emm" I said smirking.
"You're so annoying!" James said in a shrill voice.
"Don't hate me cos you aint me darlin" I said winking and turned to watch Kettleburn.
James poked me in the back and I ignored him so he kept poking.
"Now, who can tell me about the Crup?"
Emm raised her hand.
"Yes?" he asked kindly.
"A Crup looks like a Jack Russell dog, but the only difference is its forked tail"
"Excellent! Ten points!"
He was beaming. "What else?"
Remus raised his hand. "It originated in the southeast of England and its almost certainly a wizard created dog"
"Great! Anything else?"
James shoved his hand in the air.
"Adding on from what Remus just said the reasons why we think it's a wizard created dog is because it shows aggression towards muggles but its fond of wizards. Also muggle dogs don't have forked tails"
"Excellent! Twenty points for you both Mr Lupin and Mr Potter! Right, so tell me what do the Ministry class it?"
"It isn't Dangerous, the only reason its classed the same amount as the Fwooper, the reason its dangerous is because it is likely to attack muggles whenever its near one" I said and he smiled.
"Ten points! Now-"
"You better keep you're filthy family safe from them ey Mudblood?" Lucius Malfoy piped up and the Slytherins all laughed.
But just then there was a bang and Malfoy squealed.
A white ferret was now standing where Malfoy had been sitting. I looked over at James who was glaring at Malfoy and had his wand pointed at him.
"Never" bounce "call" bounce "Lily" bounce "that" bounce "again!" bounce, bounce, bounce.
James bounced him all the way around the group, me, Emm and Remus laughing and Kettleburn looked shocked yet amazed.
"Mr Potter please change Mr Malfoy back immediately!"
"Will do professor! It just I think he's suited better off as a ferret, he doesn't call anyone bad names when he's a ferret"
"Yes but all the same…"
James flicked his wand and Malfoy was back to normal, his hair a little messed up.
"Bet you loved that didn't you Mudblood? You're boyfriend sticking up for you!" And Malfoy was a ferret again, being bounced around the group yet again.
James tried a different approach; he shoved Malfoy down Avery's pants.
Avery screamed and got up and ran all around the group, before James flicked his wand and Avery's pants slipped down to reveal his pink boxers with red love hearts all over them. Avery tripped and Malfoy the ferret was back to normal.
By the time we all stopped laughing Kettleburn had dismissed the class and we hurried back into the hall, laughing all over again and congratulating James.
"I will never forget that!" Remus said as we ran upstairs towards the charms classroom.
"Me neither! James that was the best Care of Magical Creatures lesson ever! All because of you!" Emm said hugging him. I couldn't help but feel a little jealous. He grinned. "Thanks Emm" and then looked at me and I hugged him too.
"Thank you" I whispered and he smiled. "Not a problemo" he whispered back and I smiled as I pulled away.
The bell went and we hurried into the classroom once the last class came out.
We headed up the back and me and Emm saved a seat for Becky and Remus and James saved a seat for Sirius just behind us.
When they entered they were laughing about something.
"What?" Emm asked grinning.
"Oh nothing! What happened in Care of Magical Creatures?" Becky asked and me and Emm glanced at each other.
"James turned Malfoy into a ferret" I explained and Becky looked up.
"No way! Tell me everything!" so me and Emm told her what had happened and by the end of it she was laughing loudly.
Flitwick looked over at us and smiled.
"Now, now girls settle down"
But the next second Sirius let out a bark of laughter and fell off of his chair and rolled around clutching his stomach.
"Mr Black please act more mature and sit in you're chair!" Flitwick squeaked and Sirius calmed down.
For the rest of the lesson we revised on what we'd already done. And trust me that was pretty boring compared to what we usually do!
When we headed out for lunch, we passed the Slytherins table, and they either glared at James or yelled insults at him. But he just continued on, and gave them the finger occasionally.
As we walked out of potions, we heard Slughorn yell out; "And don't forget you're homework! Two rolls! Due in on Monday!"
"Great, homework!" James groaned and I grinned. "Oh James, its only one thing we've got to do! We haven't had any-"
"Don't say that or you'll jinx us!" Becky yelled and shoved her hand over my mouth.
The only response she got was a muffled one.
"We have a free period next Becks" I reminded her and she took her hand off of my mouth.
"Oh yeah"
"Lucky for you! I don't!" Peter squeaked as he caught up with us in the hall.
"But you just had a free" Emm pointed out.
"Yeah we take more classes then you so you get more frees then we do" Becky said and he blushed.
"I guess he forgot about that" I said and we laughed.
"Well, I better be off. Come on Sirius, we er… have to do something…" Becky grabbed Sirius by the collar and he followed her giving us the thumbs up.
"Enjoy you're snogging session!" Remus called after them and I chuckled.
"We could have one if you want Remus" Emm said blushing slightly.
"Okay, don't mind us" he said grabbing her hand and running off.
I turned to James who grinned.
"And then there were two" he said and I shook my head.
"You're such a dag"
"You going to Hogsmeade?" James asked.
"Tomorrow? Of course. Except Becky and Emm have dates with their fellas so I'm all alone"
"Nah you're not, you can hang out with me" he said smiling.
"What and help carry Carly's shopping bags? I don't think so" I said and James laughed.
"No I'm not going with Carly; she said she's going to have some "girly" time with her mates"
I shuddered. "They'll be gossiping about hair and make-up and who's going out with whom"
"Yeah but that's you're favourite hobby" James replied and I gagged.
"Yeah right" I said and he laughed and shoved me so I shoved him back and it went on like that until we got to the Fat Lady.
"Password dears?" she asked politely.
"Fairy Dung" James said grinning and the Fat Lady opened the portrait and we walked in, but not before we heard her say; "Trust that boy to come up with the rudest passwords"
James sniggered. "Do you think we should tell her you came up with it?" he whispered into my ear and I shook my head.
"Nah I don't think so"
"Oh ok" he replied as we went up to the boys dormitories and lounged on the beds eating chocolate from under Remus' bed and drinking butterbeer which was stashed under Sirius'.
"Hey Lily"
"Mmm?"
"Meet me at 8am tomorrow okay?"
"Okay"
"What are you wearing?"
"Bras and undies"
James burst out in laughter.
"No I meant tomorrow"
"Oh! Right. Clothes"
"Special clothes?"
"Maybe"
"I'm wearing clothes too"
"Thank god…"
"Hey!!!"
I laughed evilly. I sat up and looked at Peter's bed.
I jumped up and picked up his fishing rod.
"You better be careful with that, it's his most prized possession" James warned.
"I'm not going to break it!" I said rolling my eyes.
I kept pretending to drop it and making James wince. He got up and walked up behind me, and wrapped his arms around my waist. I turned my head a bit and James began to nibble my ear. I laughed and tried to wriggle away from him but then… dun dun dun dun!
CRACK!
I gasped.
I had accidentally walked on top of Peter's fishing rod and it snapped. James let go of me quickly and I bent down to pick up the two halves.
"We are so dead" I whispered and James nodded.
"I agree with that"
I nodded. "Should we hide it and pretend we know nothing about it?"
"Yeah either that or we could fix it ourselves" James said waving his wand in my face.
"Oi get that outta my face, outta my face" I said and James turned his wand to Peter's fishing rod and said; "Reparo" and it fixed.
"Okay let's put this back and pretend we never touched it" James said stuffing it back under Peter's bed.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
"We are so bloody lucky" I muttered and James nodded.
"You so owe me a drink" he replied and I nodded.
When we got back from dinner later that night, me Becky and Emm went upstairs and laid out our clothes.
I got dressed into my pjs and so did Emm and Becky, just as Carly and her friends walked in.
"I heard that Remus Lupin likes you Rachel" Carly said loudly glancing at Emm.
"Really?" Rachel asked happily.
"Yeah! Duh, James told me because Remus told him"
"Oh my god, I should ask him out! What do you think he'll say?"
"Yes obviously, I mean who'd want to go out with Vance anyway?"
Emm hurried past them, me and Becky following and Becky made sure to bump hard against Carly's shoulders.
When we got down the stairs into the Common room Remus had Emm in a tight hug as tears poured down her face. He said some soothing words to her and me and Becky walked over to James and Sirius who were looking utterly confused.
"Hey, what's happened?" James asked frowning.
"Carly is what's happened!" I said angrily as I sat down on the couch in between them.
"What'd she do?" Sirius asked angrily.
"Apparently James told her that Remus told him that he likes Rachel" Becky said running her hands through her hair frustratedly.
"I did?" James asked and I shook my head.
"Of course you didn't but that's just what Carly said, loud enough for Emm to hear" I explained and James and Sirius' mouths formed perfect 'O's.
"Ill have to talk to her then" James said and Becky patted his arm.
"Good luck James, we love you" Sirius said and James stuck his tongue out.
"Really it's as if you guy's think I'm going to war"
"If you're brave enough to talk to Carly then you may as well be going to war" I said and Sirius snorted with laughter.
James sighed and got up as soon as Carly and her friends came down. He grabbed her hand and pulled her away from her friends, and she smirked happily.
But her smile was wiped from her face after a couple of minutes of listening to James.
"I was only joking!" we heard her say but James shook his head.
"Carly, Emm's my friend and you really hurt her feelings. And plus you lied saying I told you and that just makes it worse"
"Yeah well she shouldn't take things so seriously" she replied and I picked up an apple that was sitting beside Sirius.
"Oi that's mine" he said as I lobbed it at Carly and it hit her on the back of the head.
She turned around and I shrugged.
"Ooops, accident" I said smiling.
"EVANS! You threw an apple at my hair!" she screeched.
"Oh I'm sorry, I was only joking. Maybe you shouldn't take things so seriously" I said smirking and she turned to James.
"James tell Lily off" she ordered.
"Lily that wasn't very nice, please don't do it again" he said and she hugged him. But behind her back he gave me the thumbs up and I grinned.
"I've got to redo my hair now. I'll cya later" she said and hurried off upstairs, her friends following.
James walked back over and gave me a high five. "That was funny Lily! Did you hear her scream about her hair?"
I laughed. "Evans you threw an apple at my hair" I mimicked in a high pitched voice.
Sirius, James and Becky all laughed and Emm and Remus walked over, Emm seemed to have calmed down.
"Come here Emm" I said hugging her. "You okay?"
She nodded. "Thanks Lils, I saw what you did"
"Yeah well she deserved it" Becky said bitterly.
We all agreed and sat around the fire for a while. Remus went upstairs to get some marshmallows, and came back down with a bag.
"Guys who ate some of my chocolate that was stashed under my bed?" he asked sharing the bag around. I grabbed one and glanced at James and we both grinned and looked away, but Remus saw this.
"Lily! James! That was my chocolate" he said as James grabbed a handful of marshmallows and we all complained so he put some back.
"So? We all know that you're Remus "chocolate obsessed weirdo" John Lupin" James replied and we all laughed.
"Anybody want some ice cream?" Remus asked and Sirius said; "Yes, I'd love some chocolate ass cream" and we all cracked up, even Remus who was trying to glare at Sirius but failed miserably.
After that we went to bed, each of us wishing the others good night.
That night as I laid down, I felt excited about tomorrow. Me and James are gonna hang out, just us two. As I snuggled down with the teddy bear that James won me at the fair, I remembered Sirius' teddy and wondered if he was hugging him right now. Maybe…
"Lily wake up! It's a quarter to eight!"
I groaned and rolled over.
"Five more minutes" I mumbled and Emm ripped my doona off me and I shrieked.
"Emm! Gimme back my doona!"
"Five more minutes and you'll only have ten minutes left to get ready"
"Why? What am I doing at eight?"
"You're supposed to be meeting James so you's can go to Hogsmeade!" Emm yelled and suddenly I remembered.
"SHIT! I'm gonna be late!" I yelled as I jumped up and grabbed my clothes and dashed into the bathroom before Carly could.
"LILY!" She screamed and I locked the door and got dressed hurriedly in a black t-shirt and cargo pants and ran back over to my bed, and Carly ran into the bathroom. I grabbed my black all stars and shoved them on quickly and brushed and braided my hair. I put on some lip gloss, eyeliner and mascara and ran over to the door. "Bye guys! Cya's later!"
"Oh Lily you're wallet!" Becky said throwing it to me. I caught it and ran down the stairs and into the common room where James was waiting. I shoved my wallet into my pocket and James grinned.
"You look nice" he said wolf whistling.
I blushed slightly.
"Thanks… I woke up at fifteen to… what's the time now?"
"Eight o one exactly" James said glancing at his watch. I smiled.
"Ready to go love?" he asked and I nodded and we set off.
"You look pretty cute today Mr Potter" I said as we walked along the corridors.
It's the truth, he was adorable! He had a red t-shirt, army shorts and black flip flops and his hair was spiked up and he was giving me his famous lop sided grin that I swore I would never fall for, and now I'm actually gushing over it! Argh!
"Why thank you Lilian, you look absolutely gorgeous yourself" he replied winking.
"You said that already pretty much" I reminded him.
"Well it's the truth, and I'll say it again, you look absolutely gorgeous!" he winked again… and again… and again.
"Urgh! Can you please stop winking?"
"Okay…" wink…wink…wink
"James!"
"Okay… wink"
"And don't ay it either"
…
Wink
…
Wink
…

"JAMES!"
"Hey look at this cool thing" James said pointing. We were in Zonko's Joke shop and James was pointing at a fart bomb bag. If someone sat on it green gas would come out and it would make a fart noise.
"I so dare you to buy four of them and put them on McGonagall's chair" I said and James sniggered.
"I'll do that" he said grabbing four of them.
"No wait I was just joking!" I said but James shrugged and bought them anyway. He shoved them in his pockets and we left the store and went to Honeydukes instead.
"Wow" James said grabbing some mousse swirl chocolate from a stand that said 'free sample'.
I laughed and grabbed some too and we ate it as we walked around the store.
"We should buy some to pay back Remus" I said and James agreed and we picked some chocolates out and went half and half in the money.
Then we went into a photo booth thing in the street and we got some photos, one of James with his arms around me, another with him licking my cheek and me with my face scrunched up, and another with me kissing his cheek (he wanted me to do that! And I guess I did too…)
We laughed at them when we got out and went off up to Rosmerta's bar "the three broomsticks".
We had some Butterbeers and James and I had a shot glass competition seeing who could down the most butterbeer in a minute. James won by two shot glasses and so I bought him a Butterbeer. 1) Because I owed him one and 2) because he won the shot competition.
When we were walking back up to school I stopped suddenly.
"What's wrong Lily?" he asked looking concerned.
"James, there's something I have to tell you" I said, a sudden fear bubbling up inside of me.
"What?" he asked smiling.
"You, you're probably gonna hate me for this…"
"Lily, just tell me. You're making me nervous" it was true, he did look a bit nervous.
I sighed. "James, Carly is cheating on you"
There, I said it. The thing that's been kept a secret for so long.
"What?"
"She's ch-"
"I heard what you said! But, why the hell would I hate you for it?"
I closed my eyes and opened them again.
"Oh my god, she's cheating on me with you isn't she?" James asked shocking me.
"WHAT? No of course not! It's just that… well…"
"Lily, spit it out!"
"I've known for a while"
"How long exactly is a while?" he asked frowning.
"Two months" (he shook his head and smiled. He opened his mouth to interrupt but I got in before him) "Before Christmas"
"Oh…" Anger and hurt suddenly etched onto his face.
"James I'm really sorry! It's just that-"
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Well, I couldn't! Because we were fighting and I thought you wouldn't believe me! And-"
"Okay, what about when we became friends again?" he was really angry now.
"I, I don't know. I just, I dunno it's complicated! I-"
"Oh okay! I get it, it's 'complicated' I wouldn't understand" James used air quotes on the word 'complicated'.
"No James! It's just, I still didn't think you'd believe me and I took a photo the day we were friends again but I just didn't get around to showing it to you and I dunno I guess I forgot all about her cheating on you. I just didn't think about it… I'm really, really sorry James"
"Yeah, right sure you are. You know what? I actually thought you cared about me! I-"
"I DO care about you! I really do James!"
"Really well that explains everything! You know what? If you'd been dating someone and they were cheating on you I'd tell you straight away Lily so why didn't you tell me?"
"I don't know okay? I just, I guess I cared about you too much and didn't want to see you get hurt and-"
"So you decided to ignore it and let me get hurt even more when I found out that my girlfriend and my friend were both lying to me? Did she know that you knew?"
"Yes, she did know James! And I never intended for you to get hurt like this! I never wanted you to get hurt at all!"
James scoffed. "Yeah right! Listen Lily I don't want you to come near me, and I don't you to talk to me or anything else ever, ever again you got that?"
"No James please-"
"Forget it" he said and left.
"JAMES!" tears slid down my cheeks as James hurried off up to the castle, and I turned and walked away.
As I headed towards Rosmerta's pub I wiped away my tears but they kept coming. They just wouldn't stop.
I have just made the biggest mistake of my life. And I regret it. He's right, I should have told him sooner. Straight away, what kind of friend am I?
When I walked in I noticed that there were a lot of cloaked men in there, but I didn't care and headed up to the bar and sat on a stool. Rosmerta came up to me and said; "Firewhiskey?"
I nodded slowly and she passed me one. I was about to pay but she stopped me. "That one's on the house sweetie. Just tell me what's wrong"
So I did. I told her how I hurt James, how I'm in love with James and how I've never felt this bad before in my life.
"Oh Lily, I dunno why he's so mad at you. I mean yeah you kept it from him but why wasn't he so mad about Carly cheating on him?"
I looked up, realizing that she was right.
"I dunno. But I did deserve it. But now he won't ever speak to me again! He doesn't want to see me again either. What am I gonna do Rozy?"
"I don't know Lils, I just don't know. But you have to try talking to him or-"
"He won't talk to me Rozy! He hates me!"
"He doesn't hate you! He still cares about you! Maybe he's angry because he never expected you to keep things from him. You two are real close, and I guess maybe he took his anger out on you when really he's angry at Carly"
I shrugged. "Maybe"
"Hey, you just have to-"
"OI! Rozy, a little service?" one of the cloaked men had rapped on the counter smartly.
"Do you mind?" Rosmerta asked angrily.
"No… I'm a paying customer, she isn't"
"She's having problems okay?"
"Yeah so am I! This slut of a barmaid won't serve me!"
I stood up angrily.
"If you call her that again-"
"Lily sit down. Don't worry about it" Rosmerta said quickly and got him a drink.
"Now because it took you so long to get my drink I don't think I should pay" Rosmerta nodded and I found myself gobsmacked. Rosmerta's tough, she never lets anyone get away with anything!
I sat back down but glared at the man who noticed me.
"G'day darlin. Fancy a root?" he asked looking at me and winking while the other's laughed.
"No thanks, I'd rather stay a virgin then ever get into bed with you" I snapped angrily.
"Why you little slut! You're not worth it!" he said and stood up.
"Why, can't you face rejection?" the pub went quiet.
He turned around slowly.
"I don't wanna do it with a Mudblood anyway"
"Well then why did you just try to pick me up? Voldemort's not going to be happy with you is he?"
I had said enough to anger all of them. All of the Death Eaters raised their wands but Rozy said;
"Now I don't want any fighting in my pub-"
"Screw you're rules Rozy" the man that had come up to me said.
"Travers this is MY pub and-"
"I don't really care. Stand up Mudblood, let's take this outside"
"I'm not going anywhere with you" I said glaring daggers at him.
"Lily! Get over hear now" Rosmerta demanded.
I did as I was told but the next thing the Death Eaters began chasing us and Rosmerta led us down the cellar, but we weren't quick enough: I felt the spell hit my back and then I slipped down the stairs and hit my head… and I heard Rosmerta scream, but then everything went black…
A/N: Oh I know, I am evil! I haven't updated in ages but you know what? I felt like this. I promise never to make you's wait this long ever. I love you's too much! This was meant to be out on Tuesday but I didn't have enough time, what with my sister needing the computer and me forgetting and reading other's stories instead of writing this. But no matter, I have it finished. And as much as you's want to get me with you're torch and pitchforks, save em for Carly cos I haven't finished with her yet!
Reviews from chapter eleven-
Mistinthenight: Thank you! And yeah I love Quidditch too! And I agree, poor Lily. Poor girl's been too through much… thanks again!
Noc007: Hey! Thank you very much! And I don't think I've checked out you're story yet, but I will soon!
Lily the Marauder: Hey hey you you, you got the longest review! Nah lol kidding but yeah you did give me the LONGEST review and thanks tones for that! Then again you are my better! ;) Yep, when I announce the ATTACK you'll know! Lol I can just imagine Sirius waking James up and making him have a cold shoulder without knowing, so cruel yes but I had to take action! Lol. I got the good luck from "Wimbledon" the movie and he meant to say good luck too, but said good body instead and I remembered and thought; "I so have to do that to James and Lils" lol. My favourite line when he walked in on Emm and Remus was ; "Gee don't mind me just passing through" or something like that lol. A chook is a chicken, sorry a little Aussie slang propped up! Lol. But that is the phrase, they say 'chook' instead of chicken! Lol. I know, I know I felt sorry for him too after you're review because I remembered but then I was like thinking; "He was STILL bad later on!" I found the whole Peter crying thing really funny lol! A cd player probably wouldn't work cos it's Muggle thing, but I guess I forgot because I remembered the Muggle Studies (is that right? I had a mind collapse trying to think lol!) class and they had that song on but now I think about it, I think it was on the T.V lol. I got the idea from a fic that was about annoying Filch, where she wrote down about "How to freak and annoy the hell out of Filch" I think, its not in my favourite cos fanfiction was I dunno but I couldn't get into my folder cos they were fixing something and yeah I couldn't save stories so I just saved it to word so I could remember it. I didn't know what else to do! Oh sorry a bit of ramble there lol. Poor Remus, having to deal with Filch. Tut tut, poor thing! I didn't know who else to do it to, I thought it would be funny if it happened to Remus lol. Thanks about the match, I wanted it like the books, yet I also wanted it a bit like Remus and I don't really wanna play him too nerdy so yeah, a bit of a rebel/studious type you know? Besides, he IS a Marauder! Lol I was angry at James too, but he had his reasons which will hopefully (most likely) be explained next chapter! And thanks again!
Rebellion Author: Hi! I dunno why, I forgot then remembered lol. I wanted it to play well into James way of saying good luck, and yeah. Let's just pretend McGonagall was being strict and wanted them to practice for it during their time. I didn't put it in there because I couldn't be bothered lol. James' realization will be very soon, and don't worry, we will sort out Carly! Maybe I should bring some of my reviewers into my story and they can be the ones to run her out and stab her and stuff with their torches and pitchforks lol. HEY! That is an idea! Thanks for reviewing!
BrazilianPrincess Hey! I like this chapter too! James kissed Carly back because- nah! I let you all find out next chapter! (Evil sniggers) anyhoo, thanks for reviewing! It's very appreciated!
bookworm1232I know I agree, it was sad. I'm up now writing it (it's the only way to fulfill my readers/reviewers needs!) It's 3:18 am right now. I'll let you's know what time I finished. I got up at half-past two though! Lol. It was a sad way of realizing how much she really liked James, I really wanted to show Lily upset by Carly because she just seemed to get over the fact that the man she loves is with another woman! That's got to be a coincidence! Lol. Hmmm very weird, having a Carly in my story and a Carly like that at you're school. A little freaky don't ya think? Anyhoo thanks! Thanks so much for you're 'random but sweet' thing you said, I am glowing all over again when I read that lol.
000kayko000Mwahahahaha! Another person for my "I hate Carly Wade club". Hehehe. James will don't you worry, now that he's FINALLY found out! Lol. Be sure if you want a part in my story maybe the chapter after the next one (chapter fourteen) then yeah. Go ahead! Say so! Lol. Thanks!
DemonFromThePast Oh I love it when I see things such as "Die Carly die!" or "I hate her" or simply just suggesting ways to get rid of her, they are all very tempting! See the bottom of this chapter for more info on my GREAT idea for this story. Thanks! ;)
Jessica: Lol thank you! I hope you can, cos like you know you aren't a member so yeah, I hope you can find this story again! ;)
Sawyerlover01Staying up late is the only way lol. My family can sometimes bug me in the afternoons after school and walk in so I minimize and get into something else lol. And thank you! Thanks tones!
molziskoolLol thank you heaps! So many people hate Carly and I hope you join my "I hate Carly Wade club" lol. Thanks again! ;)
Well now THANK YOU to all the reviewers! Lily the Marauder got the longest reply because she gave me the longest review and yeah. I though it might be a bit bad if I gave her this dumb gay little thing when she wrote lots! Lol. She is reviewing in her own time lol.
Oh yes and now this-
MY GREAT IDEA BY JP4LE (Now known as me):
I have decided to bring in reviewers for this story into the part when I get rid of Carly. If you want to be in it, leave it in you're review and I'll get back to you with thanks and I'll write you into it! Thank you to all who sign up for it. It won't be next chapter but possibly the one AFTER that! Lol. Thanks!
And yes, the end of a chapter. I love you all so much and hope you's all review too! You know because I love you all, and because you ALL love my story! And you know you do! Lol.
If me saying "lol" a lot bugs anyone, please say so! Its an MSN habbit, I'll try not to include it in my story (as if anyone would say that! Except for one person and that is giving me an idea… dun dun dun dun)
Anyhoo I better leave you guys with this!
Love always and forever until eternity,
Infinity (x) Infinity (o)
