"SIRIUS ROMULOS BLACK!" Screamed Lily at the top of her voice as she entered into the Gryffindor common room to see Sirius lounging around on the sofa.
"Lily flower! How are you today?" Asked Sirius grinning.
"How dare you! How dare you set me up with someone who pushed me into the lake?" Shouted Lily her cheeks ablaze and her eyes bright with fury.
"Lily I didn't know."
"You said he was nice!"
"Well look on the bright side."
"What bright side?! I was yelled at, accused, robbed, shoved into the lake, I fainted, I ended up in the hospital wing and now I'm angry. THERE IS NO BRIGHT SIDE!!!" Screamed Lily thumping Sirius on the chest.
"Yeah there is."
"Well then, what is it?"
"I got you another date."
"Oh no! Not ever! I mean it Black! Never again!"
"But….."
"No!"
"Lily……….."
"I said NO!"
And with that Lily turned and walked off throwing Sirius a furious glance before storming off up the stairs to her dorm.
Sirius looked away fearing, for a moment, that his plan might fail. He pushed this thought to the back of his mind and returned to his Potions homework, which he was finding close to impossible. Though he didn't care because he knew that if the worst came to worst he could just get Remus to do it. Sirius smiled to himself before turning the page in his book and continuing to write in his scruffy handwriting on his rough edged piece of parchment.
Three hours and two classes later Sirius walked into the great hall to eat his dinner. He picked up his plate and filled it with mash potatoes peas and sausages. Once his plate was full to the brim he walked down Gryffindor table to where Lily was sitting on her own eating her dinner and seemingly engrossed in the daily prophet. He took the seat next to her and began to eat.
"I'm not talking to you." Said Lily refusing to look up from her paper.
"Ok then." Replied Sirius.
"I'm still annoyed." She carried on.
"I understand."
"You were wrong and it was really stupid and irresponsible to do that."
"Whatever you say."
"Fine I'll talk to you." Said Lily looking up. "But only because you begged."
"Of course." Said Sirius laughing slightly.
"Don't laugh at me!"
"Sorry." Said Sirius trying and failing to suppress his laughter.
"Shut-up!" Moaned Lily chucking a handful of peas at him.
"No." Replied Sirius flicking a spoon of mashed potatoes at her.
"Mr. Black and Miss Evans may I kindly remind you that food fights are not permitted, let this not be one of those occasions where something this trivial turns into something we must punish. I am intent on winning the house cup this year and I do not want anyone to hurt our chances. I'm surprised at you Miss. Evans though unsurprisingly the same can't be said for you Mr. Black, unfortunately this is the kind of behavior that is expected of you. Oh well just at least try to stay in line, if you want motivation just think of Slytherin winning again, that should help you to behave. Good day children." Said Professor McGonagall as she was passing.
"Ok then what about this date?" Asked Sirius once McGonagall had left.
"No!"
"Please!"
"No!"
"Please!"
"I said no!"
"Oh come one my dear Lily flower, please."
"What's his name?" Sighed Lily deciding that she might as well go along with Sirius's little game since she had nothing better to do.
"What's your favorite name?"
"What does it matter?"
"Just tell me."
"Luke."
"That's his name! Coincidence? I think not."
"That's not his name."
"It could be."
"Ok then, when and where am I meeting this Luke?"
"Outside Gryffindor common room in 2 hours."
"Oh my god Sirius! I have to go and get ready! Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"
"I tried to but…….."
"Shut-up! I have to go, I'll se you later." She said giving Sirius a quick hug and rushing away.
"Oh, and Lily." Sirius called after her.
"Yeah."
"His name's not Luke."
"Well then what is it?"
"Elliot."
"Ok then." Called Lily. "Thank you Sirius." And with that she left the hall.
Sirius would have called something back before she left had he not been distracted by a particularly good looking brunette passing behind him.
"Well hello there gorgeous." Said Sirius getting up and throwing his arm around the girl. "Mind if I walk you to your next class?"
"I suggest you get off me." She said sternly.
"And what if I don't?"
"Now."
"I've thought about it, giving it some deep consideration, I really have and I've decided that I'd rather not."
The woman reacted instantly grabbing the hand that lay on her shoulder and twisting Sirius's arm round behind his back.
"Don't ever touch me again." She said before releasing him and walking off.
"What are you laughing at?" Snapped Sirius rounding on a pair of Ravenclaw girls who were quietly sniggering behind their hands.
"Well." Started the black haired one "For one that's not a girl, that's a woman who's about twice your age. For another she's looking around the school because Professor Clarke is leaving and she's thinking of taking up the post. And for just one more she turned you down and that's pretty funny in itself."
"What are you trying to say?"
"Well to cut is short she may be quite attractive but she's about 34 years old and she may just be one of your new Professors." She explained gleefully standing up to face Sirius.
"That's sick."
"Got it in one. Not to bad for a simpleton. Maybe you should stop going for looks first and check that their somewhere near your age before hitting on them."
"Come to think of it you aren't too hard on the eyes yourself." Smiled Sirius. "Care for a stroll?"
"Age thing again."
"Why how old are you?"
"13"
"Do you know what I've changed my mind." Said Sirius slowly backing away. "You're not that good looking, in fact your quite plain………..hideous in fact. I've always preferred blondes anyway. Bye." Finished Sirius quickly before dashing away from the uncomfortable predicament he was in.
"People should really wear age badges." Whispered Sirius to himself as he exited through the great halls side door. "Bloody 3rd year. Bloody old lady."
Lily sat quietly in her dorm brushing her long red hair before casually flicking her wand making it spring into a mass of beautiful loose ringlets. Wearing a spaghetti strap dress of spangled silver that fell just below her knees with high heeled silver strappy shoes she began to put on her make-up.
"Hey Lily, you look nice." Said Maya, Lily's dorm mate, who had just entered the room.
"Thanks Maya, where have you been?" Asked Lily.
"Oh Remus and I were just taking a walk around the grounds." She replied smiling.
"For goodness sake are you two still not going out yet?"
"No. And we wont be any time soon, Remus and I are just friends."
"Of course you are, just be sure to tell me first when it happens."
"There will be nothing to tell. Anyway, speaking of going out what are you so dressed up for?"
"Oh, no reason."
"Come on, where are you going?"
"No-where"
"You can tell me."
"Fine, Sirius set me up on another date with a guy named Elliot, I'm meeting him in about 20 minutes."
"Cool, I'll walk down with you; it's nearly my time slot for dinner."
"Ok then. How do you think I should wear my hair? Up?" She asked flicking her wand so her hair was twisted up tightly behind her head creating a crown of red curls and leaving a few ringlets loose. "Or down?" She asked returning her hair to its original state.
"Up, definitely, it looks much better." Advised Maya.
"Thanks." Said Lily flicking her wand once again.
"Your welcome."
"Well I'm going to go." Announced Lily picking up her matching silver sating handbag.
"Me too." And together the two girls left their room.
The walked slowly down the stairs and entered into the common room only to be instantly approached by Remus looking extremely nervous and rather pale rubbing his hands together.
"Erm Maya?" He began his voice shaking slightly.
"Yes Remus."
"I have something I want to ask you." He started. "And I hope that you'll say yes, but if you don't say yes which means you say no that will be ok too, because of course you might say no and a no is fine to too but not as good is a yes, which is what I want you to say, but to hear the answer I have to say the question. So anyway here it goes."
"What is it Remus?"
Lily smiled to herself knowing what was coming next.
"Will you go out with me?" The words tumbled out of his mouth at the speed of light tripping over each other as they went.
"Remus I'd love to!" Cried Maya throwing her arms around him taking him by complete surprise.
Lily smiled and left them feeling happy with the fact that after seven long years they had finally got together.
"Lily!" Exclaimed James as he nearly bumped into her.
"Go away." Snapped Lily trying to push past.
"But Lily…." Began James grabbing onto her arm to stop her going.
"Get! Off! Me!" Screamed Lily repeatedly whacking James with her handbag until he let go. "Goodbye!"
Lily exited the common room glad to escape the madness. She stood outside in the empty corridor five minutes early for her date. Many people passed her as she waited including Remus and Maya walking hand in hand to dinner.
"Hi." Said a 7th year Ravenclaw "I take it your Lily."
"Yeah, I take it your Elliot."
"The one and only." He smiled.
He had soft, floppy, blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes. He was wearing black skinny jeans with a long sleeved, open, black shirt with a white t-shirt underneath. He had an attractive slanted smile and was about 4 inches taller than Lily.
"So what do you want to do?" Asked Lily.
"Well I've kind of already planned something." Said Elliot seemingly shyly.
"Ok then, are you going to tell me what it is?" Asked Lily as they began walking.
"No."
"No?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because."
"Is it a secret?"
"Kind of."
"Kind of?"
"Yeah, kind of."
They walked silently through the halls of Hogwarts until they came to a wall covered in a thick red and gold tapestry. Elliot drew out his wand and flicked it to hold the tapestry back.
Now close your eyes." Said Elliot and Lily obeyed shutting her eyes tight. Several seconds past before Elliot said "Now open them."
Lily opened her eyes to see no longer a blank stone wall but a large wooden door with an intricate gold door knob.
"The Room of Requirement." Whispered Lily more to herself than to Elliot.
"Yeah, how do you know abut it? Precious few ever discover it's wonders." Said Elliot sounding mildly surprised.
"James showed it to me." Explained Lily suddenly feeling remorseful, as if James had died and they hadn't just broken up. "This was one of his favorite places." As she said it Lily couldn't help but wish that she was there with James rather than with Elliot. But she was determined to have a good time.
"Well come in." Said Elliot turning the handle and pushing open the door.
Lily walked through the door way entering into a large room with rep walls and gold boarders. The carpet was thick and bouncy red decorated with gold swirls. There was a large, beautiful, golden fireplace holding a warm, crackling fire. The only item in the room was an extremely large king size bed.
"Exactly what I wanted to see." Said Elliot grinning.
"Erm……….Elliot?"
"Yes gorgeous."
"Are you sure this is what you wanted?"
"Of course." Said Elliot drawing ever closer to Lily. "How could I possibly want anything else?"
"Well then if that's what you want then I'm afraid that I'm going to have to leave." Said Lily turning to go.
"It's a great act, no really, but lets just drop the pretence." Said Elliot stopping Lily in her tracks and pulling her so close to him that were they any closer they just might merge together. "So why don't we cut the crap and do what we both came her to do?"
"And what do you think we both came here to do?" Asked Lily.
"This." Said Elliot promptly shoving his tongue down Lily's throat, caressing her body and forcing himself on a reluctant and defenseless girl.
"Don't you dare touch me!" Snapped Lily slapping him across the face.
"Oh, so you like it rough do you." Smiled Elliot. "Well two can play at that game." He grabbed her tight and shoved her fiercely onto the bed and then climbed on top of her.
"Get off me!" Screamed Lily struggling to break free from Elliot's grasp but eventually succeeding. "This is NOT what I want!"
"Yes it is." Said Elliot getting up to join her. "Everyone wants a piece of this."
"Piss off you bastard!" Screamed Lily stamping on his foot.
"Fuck you Bitch!" Shouted Elliot punching Lily across the face causing her eye to start swelling immediately, breaking her nose for sure, his ring tearing the skin on her lip and knocking her to the ground. He quickly kicked her hard in the stomach winding her and then he walked off leaving Lily sobbing on the floor and unable to get up.
James was walking down the empty hall towards his astrology classroom to retrieve the book he had left there. As he walked he saw the grand doors of the Room of Requirement. He couldn't help but feel curious, since he hadn't called upon it himself, as to who was using it and why he could see it even though he didn't need it. He walked over to it and slowly pushed open the door. He entered into a plush red room, he looked around to see an empty room, not a person in sight until he looked down to see the body of a slim and very beautiful red head with her lovely head of hair soaked in blood and sticking to her face sprawled across the floor.
"Lily!" Cried James.
He ran over to her lifeless body and rolled her onto her back. Her tearstained and bloody face was looking up at him though her eyes were closed. She was clearly unconscious, her nose was knocked out of place and bleeding an unnatural amount, her lip was ripped and swollen and her teeth were stained red with blood, her left eye was swollen and puffy and bruised black and blue. James stroked her hair lovingly out of her face and as he did so he felt a crack in the back of her skull with blood pouring out of it soaking her beautiful head of hair. He checked that she was still breathing and that her pulse rate was relatively normal if there at all, just for good measure, and luckily all seemed well. James picked her up and she lay still in his arms her head resting against his chest. As he picked her up he noticed that the arm she must have landed on also seemed broken and her left ankle seemed a little twisted. He carried her out of the Room of Requirement through the lonely halls and up to the hospital wing.
The nurse took care of her, James would have stayed there all through the night until Lily woke up to make sure she was ok but Madame Campbell had force him to go back to his dorm, James was suddenly getting the impression that she didn't really like kids. James obeyed reluctantly and returned to his be furious with the bastard who could bring himself to lay a singly hurtful finger on such a beautiful girl.
