Chapter 3-Moon madness
(Lily POV)
Ok, this day has been so… I can't even begin to describe it… ok, well unexpecting but I knew it was going to happen, if that makes sense. It happened just after Sev- erm Snape had called me and then stormed out with all the Slytherins.
I don't know how Adam knew I was in Transfig, he's a Ravenclaw and so I think he was next door, but anyways-
"Lily! Are you ok? I'm going to have to talk to Snape, he was bang out of order, maybe he'll listen to me…" Adam said he rubbed my shoulders soothingly; I squirmed slightly from his touch, but did not say anything. I didn't want to make a whole fuss out of Snape, I don't get what had happened, we were best friends in first year till in 3rd year when he called me a mudblood.
"Pray, why would Snivels listen to you Bottler?!" My head had sprang up at the sound of his voice and I remember my heart beating fast.
"Because I'm friends with him, Potter." Adam had muttered, James looked surprisingly at Adam. "Merlin, you're lower than I thought you were, hanging about with that greasy hairball, you're a Gryffindor for Merlin's sake, I may not like you, but have a bit of dignity!"
This bit came all to suddenly- Adam growled and pushed his hand into James' jaw, who because of his amazing Quidditch skills dodged the hand and brought it up against Adam's back, I was begging for both to stop, but neither would listen to me, they kept shoving and pushing each other until McGonagall shouted "WHAT IN GODS NAME ARE YOU DOING?! POTTER, BOTTLER AND EVANS! Detention my office tonight-"
"What? But, Professor it's Quidditch!" James said quickly but McGonagall shook her head, "You are in 6th year! Have some maturity! My office, 7!"
I had just stood there, my mouth open, "But! I didn't do anything! I was just stood here-"
"I will tell you in my office, good day!" McGonagall sniffed, and then walked out.
I muttered something under my breath and began to hurriedly walk out, but didn't get far as Adam followed me. I could feel a pair eyes glaring at me in the back of my head, I knew it was James and I swear I could hear him muttering quietly as Adam stopped me and knelt on the floor…
"Lily!" He begged, "I'm sorry, it was all Potter's fault, and I'll talk to Sev and tell him off-" He was unbelievable!
"Adam, I don't care about that, I just don't really want to talk right now…" Adam stopped walking, watching me walk hurriedly away to the Gryffindor common rooms.
(James POV)
I can't believe the nerve of that twat, Adam Bottler is the most piggish pig head I have ever known! Well, Snape comes close second. Why the hell did he start hitting me? I was just being honest and what Snape said to Evans! Merlin, no one should ever be called that word, it's vile and sick.
Hello, little child.
Hi Sirius
Damn! It was the smell again right?
Yeups..

Look, we'll discuss it in a minute, I've only got Arithmancy, meet me in the dorms, get worm-tail.
Kay chuck
Righto Prongsie
I'm shaking as I enter our boy dorm, there all waiting and I nervously sit down on my bed.
Peter's the first to talk, "So, what are we going to do?!"
(no-ones POV)
James sighed and rubbed his face, "I can't get out of it, McGonagall sawme and Bottler fighting… can you guys you know… cope without me? Is a dog and a rat gonna be ok?!"
Remus shrugged his shoulders wearily, "I guess it will have to do, I'm sorry you guys if you get hurt an-"
"Do us a favour Moony? SHUT UP! We go with you every full moon because we care for you, no one should have to live with that burden alone-"
"And there's another unexpected word of wisdom from Sirius Black." Peter nodded his head approvingly.
(James POV)
My head is throbbing like mad as I walk to Arithmancy, I'm the last student in and the only seat is next to… Evans. #$%&%
"Potter." She says curtly to me, I grunt in response and take out my book, before copying down what Professor Cunnings is saying.
"I hope Bottler didn't say anything to you did he?" I ask nervously, the eerie silence is terrible..
"About what?!" Lil- Bollocks.. Evans sniffed. She was pretending not to care, but I can tell, her knees were tensed up and scrunched on her stool, her shoulders were huddled to her head and her voice had dropped below a whisper.
"Come on Evans! He's a bloody idiot." She looked at me, well glared.
"Adam is a gentleman compared to you-"
"Oh really?!"
"Yes. Really."
"What makes you say that?!"
"Because you Potter are a rude, incompetent, insufferable vain toe rag that finds everyone else's pain a laughing matter. Whereas Adam is-"
"I thought you hated that git?!"
Lily, OH BLOODY BOLLOCKS, I mean, Evans was quiet for a moment, until she looked at me strangely.
"I never said that-"
"You may not have, but you hate him. You hate him for breaking up with you, and now he's obsessive and fixated with you, just to piss you off. Because you don't have the courage to stand up to him."
Lily just… you know what, I can't be arsed saying Evans.. Lily is erm.. much more easier… Lily just shook her head and didn't say anymore, I watched her intently as she scribbled on her parchment, but she didn't look at me once.
This is good mate, you're doing perfecto, that was like an argument!
Sirius, have you been listening on our conversation?
No… ok, fine then, yes but still! Good job mate
What lesson you in?
Divination, but I find this more interesting..
You sure it will work?
Erm… yeah….
Wha-?
Talk later…
Sirius…
SIRIUS!!
As soon as Sirius had left Professor Cunnings announced she was coming round to see how far everyone had got. I looked down at my parchment, there was nothing there. I swore and quickly casted a spell on my parchment, which quickly wrote down what I was thinking. I proof-checked it and was done a second before the Professor looked at mine and Lily's; she had nodded approvingly and left. The bell went and I lifted myself up so quickly that it felt like I was flying.
As I entered the great hall most students were already sat down, I found the marauders quickly and sat down, ignoring their faces I hastily gathered some bread and soup.
"Stop looking at me like that!" I snapped after I eaten about 3 bites.
Remus groaned and rubbed his eyes. "Something bad is going to happen, I'm going to someone. I-"
"Look! How many times I have to say this?!" Sirius said hotly, "I laugh in the face of danger, and then I hide until it goes away." He finished off lamely with a frown.
"You just totally stole that from Buffy the vampire slayer." Peter said with his eyebrow raised. Sirius just gave Peter a 'I have no idea what the hell you are on about…' face and then turned back to his food. I could tell that they were pissed off with me, but it wasn't exactly my fault right? It was Bottler's fault.
"Guys I'm sorry! Stop making me feel so guilty!" I pleaded as I just checked the time. Remus nodded his head and shrugged, "I guess it's not your fault and well, see you in hell mate." I laughed weakly as I arose from the table, but my legs felt weak and I'm sure they buckled as I made my way to Transfiguration.
"I want each of you to clean these tables, no magic for I will know… no talking!" McGonagall snapped.
"Oh as you wish Minnie!" I bowed mockingly and gave the stern Professor a smirk.
"Get on with it Potter!" I swear I saw her smile.. slightly
"Oh yes ma'am. Right away ma'am. I will use this cloth and spray like the oxygen I use to keep me living I-"
"ON WITH IT!" She screeched, I swear I felt my ears pop, with that she fled from the classroom, leaving us 3 to clean every blooming table!
"Well, that was mature." I heard Lily grunt under her breath.
"The hell with this." Bottler groaned. He threw his cloth on the floor and perched himself on a table, Lily sighed beside him, "We have to do it; otherwise McGonagall will just bring us back to do it again…"
"Yeah Bottler, we need to clean the tables." No matter how much I tried sound tough my voice still faltered, the sky was beginning to darken and the full moon was beginning to emerge from the clouds. All 3 would be outside by now, Sirius and Peter would be in their forms, waiting for Remus to turn into a were-wolf.
Suddenly, a howl was heard from outside of Hogwarts, Lily and Bottler looked up, worried.
"Were-wolf." Lily muttered.
"There's no such thing Evans." I replied hastily, but I was looking out of the window, peering for any signs of 3 animals, no such luck.
"I've seen a were-wolf before. I'm not stupid you know." Lily snapped, I rolled my eyes and swore under my breath. I shouldn't be here! I should be helping Pad-foot, Moony and Wormtail….
"We better start these tables then." Bottler sighed after a moment's silence.
We had cleaned about 3 tables until we heard another howl, although this one was entirely different, from the pitch of the howl I could make out that this were-wolf was angry, also the whimper of a dog was heard after the howl. I felt like someone had stabbed my heart.
"Did you hear that?!" Adam screeched. It was well after midnight by now, and McGonagall would not let us leave until all the tables were cleaned spotless. Lily nodded her head franticly and moved slowly to the window. "There are some shadows right by the whomping willow!"
My head was screaming, what if Sirius or Remus died? Peter would be fine, after all he was a rat, relentless to the fact that were-wolves were normally comfortable around animals, a were-wolf's mind could click, making it even more aggressive to humans, and animals, and this is what I was most afraid of.
Not much happened after this, after a few minutes of silence we all decided that it was probably most wise to clean the tables, I was still nervous, my hands were shaking and I always managed to spill water onto the floor or onto tables. Lily had looked at me strangely sometimes, but I always ignored her, too much was on my mind.
After what seemed an endless lifetime of cleaning tables McGonagall came through the door.
(Lily's POV)
She was silent for a moment, inspecting the tables. Until she nodded, satisfied. She gave us back our wands and declared that we could go. We all sighed, relieved, it was about 1 in the morning and I was just tired.
"I'm sorry Potter." McGonagall sighed as James walked past her, he shrugged his shoulders and smiled slightly, "Just tell me if they're ok?!" He asked nervously.
McGonagall nodded again and made her way inside the office. Adam turned left immediately to go to the Ravenclaw common room, and so it was just me and James.
I didn't know what to say, you know when you're walking right next to the person you like and have no idea what to say?! Everything in my head seemed immature and sad, he would defiantly think me a prat if I asked him about the weather…
"Evans?!" He whistled and waved his hand in front of my face, I shook my head and scrunched my eyes, opening them again, only to find James' face a couple of centimetres from mine.
"What?!" I asked confused.
"I thought you had died, shame, I was going to have a party-"
"YOU KNOW WHAT?!" I screamed in rage, James was pissing me off now, how could he say those things and think he'd get away with them all.
"What?!" He asked coolly, leaning onto one of the brick walls, like he didn't have a care in the world.
"I don't give a Merlin's toe-nail what you think. Your vile and rude and actually I don't care at all what you say." I sniffed, after I said it I knew it wasn't a great come-back, and judging by James' smirk, I was right.
"Oh yeah?!" He smirked again, moving from the wall to me, in slow small strides.
"Y-yes." My voice croaked and faltered as I felt my back hit the opposite wall to where James had just recently rested on. My heart was pumping as James enclosed me, his hands positioned on the bricks, stopping me from pushing away.
"You know what I think?!" He whispered, he was so quiet that even though I was right next to him I had to strain to hear. I didn't answer back, but my eyes gave James that questioning look.
"I think you care a lot about what I say to you." He purred in my ear, I had to close my eyes, stopping me from probably having a fit. Was James Potter actually flirting with me?!
I was silent, holding my breath and my eyes closed. I never wanted to leave from here… suddenly the warmth that I had quickly gotten used to disappeared, my eyes lashed open, to find James Potter walking away quickly.
"You care Evans." He turned around, to see my confused face. He winked at me, and blew a kiss. "You care."
I was distraught! That James Potter thinks he's so perfect, able to do anything. I'll show him, somehow…
Once again, thanks for reading this chapter, means a lot siriusly, ahaha, that cracks me up.. anyhoo, erm, please review and here's a little preview for the next chapter-
"What have I done?!" I wept, in front of me were two mangled bodies, one of Sirius Black, and one of Remus Lupin.
