Chapter Nine: "Potter is such a jerk!"
The next day, I woke up with a hazy head and the sun in my eyes. I was irritable, annoying and tired. I was also on my period, so I had an excuse.
"Good morning chickies." Bella grinned. Having a 100 watt smile that early in the morning should be made illegal.
"Shush." Cassie's bed said. "I want to sleep forever."
"Well, as its Sunday, you can sleep all day, but tomorrow, you must get up." Belle was still way too bright.
"Me no feel good. You please quiet." I mumbled as I rolled over to get more sleep.
Bella launched herself at me, pinning me down and rolling me over so I was facing her.
"You must get up." She said decisively.
"Bugger off." I cried, before toppling her off me and onto the floor.
"Fine. You, Lily Marie Evans, have driven me to this." She disappeared for a moment. I presume she came back, because about five seconds later, I had freezing cold water poured over my entire body.
"AAAHHH!" I screamed. I sat up and swung my legs out of the bed and winced as they touched the cold stone floor. "We should put rugs down."
I hurried into the bathroom and turned on the shower. I stripped and climbed in. The hot water hissed as it fell from the shower head and I groaned as it hit my cold body. After about 10 minutes, I turned off the water flow and climbed out. Wrapping myself in a big, fluffy white towel, I stepped into the bedroom part of our dorm. Grinning, I flicked my wand and my bed made itself. Flicking again, my clothes shot out of my extensive wardrobe.
"I don't like cold water." I said to Belle. She stared at me for a moment and then burst out laughing.
"What?" I cried angrily. "What's so funny?"
"Your indignant face, that's what." Bella replied, holding her stomach.
I mock glared at her, and then turned to my clothes. A denim knee-length skirt, black knee-high boots and a black t-shirt with the words '99% Angel' emblazoned on the front in silver. On the back, the words '1% Devil' were just visible beneath my hair, which I had decided to leave down.
"Can we go to breakfast now?" I whined.
"Yeah. Cassie's having a lie-in, so we'll nip down to the kitchens and grab her some toast later, if she feels like it." Bella had finally stopped laughing.
We skipped down to breakfast, arm in arm. When we got there, the only seats available were in between James Potter and Sirius Black. They waved us over and we reluctantly sat next to them.
I reached out to get some toast, but James got there first and handed some to me. I ignored him and got my own.
"Did I do something wrong?" He asked suddenly.
"As a matter of fact, yes, you did do something wrong. You behave like an egotistical prick, you seem to think that every girl wants you and every guy wants to be you. You have a total disregard for other people's feelings and you are the embodiment of stupidity. That do, or do you need me to go on?" I glared at him, before grabbing my toast and heading out of the Great Hall, Belle at my heels.
"Nice one." She said as we reached the common room.
"Potter is such a jerk!" I cried angrily.
