Chapter Two: "My life is ruined."
"POTTER!" I yelled. Yeah, I sounded like a fishwife, but Potter just… ooh!
"Yes?" He answered, lounging against the doorframe of the fifth year boy's dormitory.
"Do you have any idea why my hair is green? Sludge green, no less?" I could feel my anger rising. Breathe, Lily, breathe.
"No, do you?" He looked so arrogant. I stalked over and stared hard at him, before cuffing him soundly around the back of the head.
"Next time, I'll catch you out." I growled. The hairs on the back of my neck stood to attention.
"I'm quaking in my shoes." He scoffed. "You sound like Snape."
"You sound like a moron, but I don't voice my opinions as loudly as you do!" I snapped, before turning on my heel and stomping back up to the girl's dormitory.
When I opened the door, Bella threw herself at me.
"I know you told me that drinking shots of Firewhisky with you until the early hours of the morning was a bad idea, because you can hold your liquor and I can't, but PLEASE, give me a hangover cure!" She had wrapped herself around my waist and was looking up at me with puppy dog eyes.
"Get me some tomato juice." I sighed.
"Yey! Thank you SO much Lils!" She grinned, bounding over to the small chest where I keep my ingredients.
"Don't call me 'Lils' ever again, or no more cure for you!" I mock scowled.
"I'm sorry Lily, just please make me some cure!" Bella groveled.
"I was kidding! Yeash, you need to recognize humor, before it comes up behind you and bites you in the ass!" I shook my head as I
stirred hair-of-dog and tomato juice together in a large beaker.
"You know, you shouldn't encourage her. Maybe you shouldn't give her the cure so readily." Cassie said, shaking her head. She didn't approve of me and Belle downing shots at quarter past twelve on a Friday night. She said it distracted her from her thoughts. She's a Seer. A Seer is someone who can see the future. Abit like our Divinitation teacher, (Personally, I think she's an old fraud, but what we learn is interesting), Professor Miriam Baker.
As I was saying, Cass is a Seer, and she said she had seen me with my future husband. Get this, it was James Potter. I know, I sat there in complete shock too. I mean, Potter? Can't she have come up with something more inventive? I mean, the world and his wife (at Hogwarts) are always saying that even though we fight like cat and dog, (or should that be moron and relatively normal person?) we would make a great couple! How stupid!
"Lily? You're hair's still green." Bella stated the blindingly obvious.
"Really?" I asked sarcastically.
Bella sipped thoughtfully for a moment. Then she leapt up and gave a cry of joy.
"Belle? Are you okay?" Cassie asked, her face full of motherly worry.
"Lily! I can change your hair back!" She grinned, whilst bouncing up and down on my bed.
"So can I. Stop jumping around, you're making me dizzy!" I reached over and snatched the hangover cure out of her hands.
"Gimme!" Bella lunged at me, shrieking her head off.
"Ah, ah, ah, naughty girl. Don't grab." I teased, hovering the beaker above her head.
"I swear, if you weren't so good at Charms and if you weren't one of my best friends, I'd kill you right now!" Bella growled, her teeth clenched. She followed it to the dresser, near the door. I hovered it over the doorframe, just out of her reach.
Suddenly, the dormitory door opened. Momentarily preoccupied, I let my concentration fade away and the cup dropped onto the head of the one person I definitely didn't want it to. Jonathan Woods, captain of Gryffindor Quidditch team and major heartthrob.
Why, I hear you ask, did the Quidditch captain come into a fifth year girl's dorm? He was looking for Alex Moon, a girl we knew. She is a Chaser on the Gryffindor team and Jonathan's long-term girlfriend.
"Um… hey Jonathan." Bella smiled weakly at him.
"What the hell have I got ON MY HEAD?!" He yelled the last part of his sentence.
"Er, that would be hangover cure." Cassie stated matter-of-factly.
I, however, came up with nothing inventive to say and just sat on my bed, staring at him like a loon.
"Where is Alex?" He asked, his shoulders shaking with rage.
"Dunno." I said with a stupid smile plastered on my face.
"Lily!" Bella hissed, elbowing me in the ribs. I stopped smiling pretty sharpish.
I shot her a death-glare and turned to Jonathan. "She might be in the Library, or the Head Lounge." I smiled again.
Jonathan gave me a funny look before turning and leaving our dorm, destined never to set foot in it again.
"Did I just do what I think I just did?" I asked my friends as soon as his magnificent butt disappeared around the doorframe and out of my pitiful little life forever.
"Yep." Came the two replies.
"Oh. My. God. My life is ruined."
