Chapter 5: Why Me?
Sunday morning, 11:00, Common Room
"Hey Lils, where are Anthony and Hugo?" Fred asked
"No idea, I was just going to ask you or James that."
"Why would we know?" James asked
"I don't know…you're guys," I replied.
"Thanks Lils you're so kind," James said. "Do you have any idea where they are, I mean they are your best friends?"
"So, Andrew is your best friend and you don't know where he is half the time."
"I know where he is right now."
"Just about everyone knows where he is right now, he's in his dormitory sleeping because in his opinion 2:00 on a weekend is still 'early'," I told James.
"Well, yea, but still!"
"No, I have no idea where they are, I hope Anthony's fine…"
"Why would anything be wrong with him?" Fred asked.
"He was acting really weird yesterday at dinner."
"What happened?" Fred asked.
"He like, zoned out or something and after he was really weird like barely talking and after he went straight up to his dorm and after Hugo went up later I haven't seen either of them since."
"Well you weren't exactly in the common room last night."
"How do you know?"
"James told me. This is way off topic but why weren't you with Anthony and Hugo yesterday afternoon?" Fred asked.
'Oh great talk about the worst time for them to find out,' I thought. "I was hanging out with someone else, I have other friends."
"Who? Was it that guy you were talking to after Quidditch Try-Outs?" Fred asked.
"A boy!" James shouted.
"Yeah…"
"James, breath!"
"My baby sister, is dating, you expect me not to freak out?" James replied.
"She never said anything about dating him…you aren't are you?"
"…"
"Oh my gosh you are!"
"What is going on?" Rose asked.
"Lily has a boyfriend," James spat out.
"No way!"
"Go easy on her," Lucy commented.
"She's 14!" Fred shouted back.
"So, I'm 15 and I have a boyfriend."
"Yeah, but you're in 5th year."
"I'm so babied by you guys…" I began.
"Rose had a boyfriend in her 4th year."
"But she was 15 then."
"Hermione did, don't interrupt me, Mum did-she had a boy friend when she was 13" I shouted.
"You're still too young."
"Mum wouldn't care."
"Dad would, and I do too."
"Ugh…I'll never get a fair chance!"
"What's going on?" Hugo asked from the bottom of the boys' staircase.
"Ask James!" I shouted.
"What's wrong?"
"Lily has a boy friend!"
"I kno…oh, right…"
"You're taking her side on this?" James shouted.
"I can take care of myself!"
"How about everyone goes somewhere quiet to settle down," Lucy suggested. Thank god Lucy wasn't overprotective about boys.
"Fine, I will!" I shouted running up to my dorm. 'How are Ashlee, Becca, and Megan still asleep? Great this means I can't stay here' I walked over to my trunk opened it in search for my invisibility cloak which always proved very hard to find (:P) and walked back out into the common room and out the portrait hole. Once in the corridor I put the cloak on. 'They never give me a chance…I'm responsible…' I thought as I walked down the corridor letting a few tears slide down my cheek. 'Why do I have to be the youngest…I hate it…' I decided to walk down to the lake. When I got to my rock I slipped my shoes and socks off and dipped my feet in the water. 'It would be funny if someone saw me now, a pair of floating feet…I should put a little wadding pool in my room and charm it to look like the lake…'

"Lily, you out here?" I heard Anthony calling sometime a little after noon.
'Like he doesn't know…I should've taken James' map…' I thought.
"Lily, if that's you I can here you."
'Stupid me...I make too much noise' I thought.
"Lils please respond."
"I'm here."
"Where?"
"Next to you."
"Will you show yourself."
"Just sit down." He did and I threw the cloak over him
"Hey! James is worried about you, you know."
"Why should he be?" I asked still really angry.
"Lucy took the map and no one knew where you were so…yeah…" Anthony said trailing off.
"I'm surprised he didn't just jump to conclusions…"
"We saw Ben at lunch…your cousins and brothers can be really scary…"
"Oh great, What did they do?"
"Actually not to much they just scared the heck out of him…"
"Joy…" I replied sarcastically.
"Other than that they've settled down a lot."
"Other than that?" I laughed. "You're awesome Anthony…"
"Why do you say that?"
"Because you are, I mean you are the one person who really understands me and wasn't half forced to." We both laughed at that.
"You really mean it?"
"Of course I do, you're the best!" I replied.

Dinner
"Where were you two?" Hugo asked.
"Out by the lake talking…why?"
"Just wondering."
"Lily…um…sorry about this morning, I…um…overreacted…I guess…"Fred said.
"Was that really your idea?" I asked.
"What?"
"To apologize…" I swear sometimes I feel like I'm talking to a four year old when I talk to Fred.
"Partially…well I don't think I overreacted, that was Lucy, but I am sorry…He seems like a good person."
"Thanks," I replied moving over so Fred could sit down. "Where's James?"
"No idea…"
"Fred, it kinda ruins the apology when you tell her that it was my idea!" Lucy shouted indignantly as she walked down toward us holding a piece of parchment while putting a long fleshy colored string into her pocket (extendable ears)
"It's ok I kinda figured he didn't came up with it, he's not sensitive enough," I laughed.
"I resent that!" Fred shouted.
"I bet you didn't even know the word resent existed until I used I yesterday," Rose said.
"Of course I did…"
"Idiot…" Lucy, Rose, and I said together.
"Lily…um, I'm sorry that I kinda freaked out this morning…well, what else can you expect, I'm your older brother, but he seems really nice and stuff," James said.
"Now there's an apolo…" Lucy continued.
"Thanks, both of you," I said getting up to hug James.
"Took you long enough," Fred replied sarcastically.
"Does you're family say anything that's not sarcastic?" Anthony asked.
"I don't think so…"
"Hey," Fred shouted.
"It's true, dude," James told him.
"You do know you're insulting yourself, right?" Rose asked.
"…it's insulting you too, and Lily…I mean... yeah"
"Two things: One-that was the worst came back ever, and Two-at least Rose and are smart enough to realize these things," I replied.
"Oh, here," Lucy said randomly handing the piece of parchment to James…OMG, duh it's the Marauders Map, I'm really stupid!
"Wait, what's the point of insulting yourself if you know you're doing it?" Fred asked.
"To make life more amusing, besides, it's no better not knowing, that means you're oblivious."
"I'm glad I became friends with you two," Anthony stated.
"Why," Hugo and I both asked.
"Because, If I hadn't I might not have been able to witness great fights like these," He responded. I slapped the back of his head. (A/N for anyone who watches NCIS a Gibbs slap…heehee) "What was that for?"
"Being mean!"
"Can you help us with the conjuring spell when we're back in the common room?"
"You still haven't gotten it we've worked on it for two class periods and I've helped you outside of class!"
"Um…no" Anthony replied.
"I thought you got it since you haven't asked me for help since Thursday. Stupid procrastinators!!!!!!"
"So will you help us?" Hugo asked.
"Fine but only because I have nothing better to do," I replied.
"You guys are so lucky to have her," Fred commented.
"You had James."
"Still…"
"Hey!" James shouted, "You would've failed without me."
"Yeah, still…Lily's smarter."
"It's true," I put in.
"You're dead!"
"Don't kill her now!" Fred shouted.
"Why not?"
"Well one there are too many witnesses and two then our Quidditch team would FAIL…miserably!"
"Good point."
"POINTS!" Fred shouted, "I had two!"
"Okay, okay! Don't scream, you're going to get us in trouble."
"Fine, I'll be good,"
"No you won't," Albus said.
"He speaks!" James screamed.
"Oh, shut up."
