Stupid Potter. Why does he have to stir her up? Stupid, stupid Potter. It's his entire fault that I'm sitting here, listening to Lily rant on and on about how stupid it was of Dumbledore to make James Potter head boy along with her.
"I just don't see why Dumbledore would make stinking Potter head boy! He's soo irresponsible! He's such an annoying little prat!"
"So you've told us about a million times!" I yell.
She whips around to look at me. Her face is red with anger.
Why did I do that? Stupid, stupid mouth! Why do you disobey me?!
"What?!" She screams.
"Lily, you need to calm down. It's not Azura's fault that she can't take this anymore." Alice tells her in a calm voice.
"Yeah, I'm sorry Lil, but you need to build a bridge and GET OVER IT!" No, stop making her angrier!
She's begins walking towards me. Oh no. Run, Azura, RUN!
Feet, why are you not moving??
She's so angry tears are forming at her eyes, her face has possibly gotten redder, and she's gritting her teeth.
Alice stops her in her tracks, thank god.
Her face goes blank and she's suddenly laughing hysterically.
Good god, I think she's finally lost it.
She's in fits, giggling so hard I think she might pop.
Alice gives me a meaningful look. I shrug at her. I have no clue what the hell is going on.
I sit on my bed and watch my red-headed friend.
THIS IS FREAKING ME OUT!! Why on earth is she laughing?!
"Lil?" I say slowly. "Lil, are you okay?"
She looks at me, still laughing. "Can't- HA HA- stop- HA HA- laughing!"
Alice looks like a light has suddenly come on in her head. "Lily, have you eaten anything today? That wasn't from the table at breakfast, lunch or dinner?"
She nods, still laughing her head off.
"Did you by any chance take anything from Black, Potter or something that you found?"
"There were- HA, HA- cookies fro- HA HA- m the house elves- HA HA- waiting, ha, in the, ha, dorm." She's bringing it under control…
Or not. She bursts out again.
DING! Goes the light bulb in my head.
"Of course!" I exclaim. "It has to have something to do with those damned Marauders!"
Alice grabs Lily by the shoulders and holds her up.
"Az, go get Reumus. He can help, and if he doesn't, make him."
I run as fast as I can, to find Reumus playing chess with Peter, who is losing dramatically.
"Reumus! It's Lily, she's eaten some cookies that are making her laugh uncontrollably. HELP ME!"
He looks at me, humor definitely in his eyes. "I told them not to do it. Sirius is going to have hell to pay for this one." He tells me.
SIRIUS BLACK?! STUPID BASTARD! I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN! I BET HE CONNED JAMES INTO PUTTING THOSE COOKIES THERE!
"Come on! You have to reverse it, or I think she'll explode!" We run up the steps and I go into the dorm room. He stops at the door.
"What?" I ask.
"This is a girl's dorm."
"So?"
"I'm a boy."
"Could have fooled me." I say sarcastically. "Now just get your but in here!" I drag him in by the wrist and he covers his eyes against the 'dangers' of the girls' dorm.
"Reumus, it's okay, there are no bra's laying around."
"Or tampons." Alice added for good measure.
He went green at her words. WIMP.
"Relax Reumus, relax." She told him. He looked around for the laughing Lily and found her with her head buried in a pillow in an attempt to stop the laughing.
I think I'm about to crack up myself, seeing Lily nearly suffocate herself.
I really should be trying to help her but it is so much better to watch her try to stop laughing.
Reumus points his wand at her lazily. "Sobrerio!" He exclaimed.
Lily looked up, her face red and painfully crinkled up.
"Reumus! Thank you! You are brilliant!" She hugged him.
"No problem Lils. Just don't eat anymore cookies from the supposed house elves."
DING! Light bulb time.
"What is that supposed to mean? Are you saying you know how this happened?! Did Potter and Black do this?!" She was angry again. Please Reumus don't say anything, please!
Too late, he's started spluttering, trying to explain for them.
"Argh! They will BURN!"
"Now, now Lils, no need to hurt the idiots." I say sarcastically.
"Oh, I'm not going to hurt them…" she says sweetly. "I'm going to KILL THEM." She sounds very evil indeed. I'm scared.
We're walking into the breakfast hall when James and Sirius go whizzing past us. Bloody pests. James is chasing Sirius, who is holding a photo of James as a baby, naked on a broomstick.
I look at Lily who is laughing at James' embarrassment. I begin to laugh as well.
Reumus walks in casually, with his nose stuck in a book, followed by Peter, who is twiddling his thumbs.
We all sit in our usual places, Alice is next to me, while Lily sits on the other side of the table. We serve our breakfast, while Sirius and James are still mucking around. Suddenly, Sirius throws James' picture at us.
He's a small child, on a broomstick, stark naked. We laugh like we just ate those cookies, while James is too scared to come over and get the picture.
Sirius comes over, putting his toned ar- I mean stupid arms around us. "So, ladies, what do you think of Prongs? I assure you, he hasn't really grown…" He says, the sleaze evident in his voice.
"And how would you know, Black?"
Cough, GAY, cough.
He shrugged it off.
I butter my toast as Black tries to flirt with me. And guess what, its NOT WORKING!
"So, Azura, my fine lady, how are you today?"
"Bugger off Black." I swipe at him and miss his black locks.
"P.M.S-ing are you? Oh dear, I guess that means we better do it before that little visitor comes." He says sarcastically.
This time, I find my mark on his face.
Oh, how good it felt.
"Ouch! Blimey, what was that for?!"
"Piss off, Black! I'm trying to eat!"
Really, I am, and seeing his face, makes me sick.
"Sirius, I think you should leave now." Alice gives him a warning glance.
"Alright, alright, I'm going." He sauntered off, rubbing his cheek.
Oh, I rule.
Alice turns to us. "Guys, I'm going to go catch up with Frank. See you in class." She got up and skipped away… well, practically.
Lily looks at me. She's smiling. But it's not a friendly we're-best-friends smile, no it's bad. Its one of those I-have-an-evil-plan-to-get-the-marauders-back smiles. It's more like a smirk.
Oh, joy, Lily is smirking.
"Lils, what have you got planned?"
"Oh, just a little prank." She says sweetly.
"You're stooping to their level, just so you know."
"Ah, yes, but you see, this little prank, cannot be traced to me."
"Hey, that rhymes." I laugh.
She sighs. "Just wait and see."
"Alright, so when is this going to happen?"
"Any minute now."
Just then, Peter screams. I mean seriously screams. Like a girl.
Lily is smiling.
I look over to see Peter with Potter stuck to him. But it isn't the kind of innocent stuck. No, Potter has his lips glued to Peter's arse. His eyes are wide, so wide that they could be mistaken for plates.
I crack up laughing just as Black gets the same fate as Potter, only stuck on Reumus.
Reumus looks disheveled and confused, while Peter looks shocked. Mind you, I'm pretty sure that Peter is enjoying someone kissing his arse, even if it is forced.
Black and Potter are trying to get free, only it's not working.
Of course it isn't working, this is one of Lily's best pranks ever, and she's going to make sure they can't get free easily.
Lily laughs evilly. It sends shivers down my spine… I really hate it when she does that.
"Lils, don't you think you should reverse it?"
"It'll wear off in an hour. But for now, I think they can go around like that." She laughs again. More shivers.
We move off to class as Professor McGonagall intervenes, pursing her lips at the embarrassed boys.
Charms is up first, with the arse-kissers.
We sit in out seats and wait for the teacher to begin. Alice walks in just on time, her face red and flustered.
"You missed a great show." Lily whispered to her.
"I saw Sirius and James walking around kissing Reumus' and Peter's arse! Did you have anything to do with it?" Alice winked.
Lily nodded, trying not to laugh.
"It was good. Very good." She nodded.
"Thanks." Lily mouthed.
"So, Alice, how was Frank?" I asked.
She blushed. "He's- He's good."
Lily and I laughed at her colouring.
"Alice, stop being shy about it. It's alright for you go and enjoy yourself in a broom cupboard every once in a while." Lily laughed. I just snorted.
The professor walked in, all went silent. "Now, today, we are going to have a study lesson as I must take care of something else. It appears some students have gotten themselves into a slight tangle. That is all."
The professor left. Today is going to be good.
The rest of the lesson is spent talking between us. Mostly about Frank. Alice is in luurrvve. She blushes madly for most of the lesson as we talk about… stuff. Stuff being the things that I will not mention.
Now we only need to get through the rest of the day. Sigh.
