1.40, Girls Dormitory, Under My Bed
I can already hear Lily storming up the stairs. Merlin, does she have a temper!
1.56
So, I was just lectured by Lily about how I shouldn't be going to Hogsmeade with Sirius for the Valentine's weekend because it'll just break Remus' poor, little heart. Also, apparently, Sirius is a horrible person who only uses girls for a short period of time and blah, blah, blah.
1.57
Oh, and I forgot to add that she officially hates Sirius and me now.
6.16, Great Hall, Dinner, Avec le Gang
Right, well, Lily is ignoring me, obviously. Anne and Bridget as chattering away, over the fact that half of our gang is having a bit of a row... But neither of them are siding with Lily on this one, thankfully, so I have the advantage of numbers.
6.18
You'll see, journal. She'll have completely forgotten about being mad at me by the end of this week. She's not really one to hold a grudge.
6.19
And, honestly, who could resist my brilliance and charming smile?
13th of February, 2.34, Charms, Next to Sirius
There's so much hub-bub going 'round about Valentine's Day. How droll. Honestly, it's like no one cares about anything else. I for one could care less so long as Sirius doesn't follow me around all day, serenading me as he says he plans to do. (James confirmed his little Plot of Embarrassment this morning at breakfast.) It'll be right humiliating, I'm sure. But I can always call off our "date" this Saturday. Then he'll stop and beg for me to go.
2.36
I've actually called it off about five times since he asked me. Only because it stops him from being annoying. And it gives me an advantage, as it truly is the only one I seem to have.
2.38
But no more of that, seeing as for the past three days I've been receiving the most unpleasant looks from Remus... Why can't he just go back to ignoring me? I would rather that than being death glared at...
2.39
Le sigh.
14th of February, 6.23, Great Hall, Dinner, Slowly Sinking Under the Table
Well, if this isn't the most embarrassing moment of my life, I'm not quite sure what is... And what's worse that everyone is looking from Sirius to me and then back to Sirius again. And my mates are all laughing hysterically and not helping cover for me as I gracefully try to hide in a not-so-obvious manner. But no, it seems Cupid has it in for me tonight. Indeed.
6.25
Why won't he just stop singing? And why does there have to be accompaniment? He probably bribed the bloody Hogwarts Band to play... And Flitwick was in on it, since he's conducting! That man, I mean, honestly. I thought he liked me, me, his most beloved student. But, no. Not anymore. I will rebel in his class as much as possible now. What a wanker... Though I probably shouldn't call a teacher that, should I?
6.26
Dumbledore is laughing! Oh, my world is such a sad place right now. Although the tune is very catchy... Doo-dee-doo, "Love is all that I can give to you, Love is more than just a game for two, Two in love can make it, Take my..." NO! Why am I writing out the lyrics? Curse you, hand of mine!
6.27
Thank Merlin it's over... Oh, bugger. Sirius is coming for me. This is where I scramble away, trying to avoid legs and feet.
6.33, Running Away
Ahahaha! I got away! Although my exit was no where near as amazing as I'd hoped it would be. No, I kind of stumbled out the door because some bloody first year thought it'd be brilliant to stick his leg in my way.
6.48, In the Safety of the Gryffindor Common Room
It won't be soon before everyone comes in and starts teasing me... Urgh, this night has been horrific.
6.49
Why couldn't he have just left the festivities at the singing Valentine card and the roses and the chocolate? I mean, yeah...
6.50
Argh! Must hide!
6.51, Attempting to Go Unnoticed Behind the Tapestry
So, not the best hiding place, but it's not as though people actually look at the walls, right? Thus no one will notice the oddly lumpy Lady and the Unicorn Tap
7.13, Girls Dormitory
Bloody hell! Sirius Black is such a wanker! Of course he has to go and disprove my assumption that no one looks at the walls by kidnapping me from my safe place. And then he has to throw me over his shoulder and carry me through the portrait hole and down the corridor to some little alcove where he starts snogging the daylights out of me. Although, admittedly, the snogging itself was not so bad at all. In fact, it was quite enjoyable and I even let my hands explore a little.
7.14
Don't think those horrible, dirty thoughts, journal! I only meant that I kind of explored under his shirt. And, I swear, that boy must be descended from the gods or something for he has the most glorious abs!
7.15
But I shall speak no more of that... I really do need to finish my Runes essay on the importance of understanding the languages of our history... Right-o. Till later then.
11.23, Nestled Warm and Snug in My Bed
Finally finished that bloody essay. But my hand hurts horribly. I think it would be wise to invest in one of those quills that writes whatever you think... I mean, then I could be writing in here without having to move a muscle! Imagine that.
11.25
Anyway, I might have some of that chocolate Sirius gave me this morning when he wasn't being such a prat and embarrassing me in front of the entire bloody school.
11.26
Mmm! This chocolate is quite delectable! I think I may have another!
11.33
Alright, I better stop now before I just automatically gain weight on my hips. As my mother so frequently tells me, I don't need that!
15th of February, 7.04, Great Hall, Breakfast, With the Gang
I'm still too embarrassed to sit next to Sirius. And I'm still trying to figure out why he would do that. We aren't even a couple! We're just, erm, casual mates with snogging benefits... And, well... Erm... Right.
7.06
L is for the way you look at me, O is for the only one I see, V is very, very extra-ordinary, E is
Oh, for Merlin's sake, stow it, Lily. You hate Black and me anyway!
But that was before I realised how very much he cares for you.
What caused you to realise that?
His wonderful singing last night.
That was embarrassing! You shouldn't be taking delight in your best mate's embarrassment!
But why not? It was delightful! So, are you two together now?
Whatever happened to you rooting for Remus and me? Is that long and forgotten in that muggle-inherited brain of yours?
No, I'm still holding out for you two, but who says you aren't allowed to have fun now, eh?
You're a barmy cow.
And you're a little twit.
Don't call me little!
Small-ish.
7.11
That Lily Evans, I swear...
7.15
Hmmm, well, tomorrow is the big day. That should be fun.
7.16
Sirius'll probably just want to snog the whole time.
7.17
He can only hold conversation for so long what with that limited vocabulary of his.
7.18
You know, I'm rather mean to him, aren't I? I shouldn't be, but I just can't help it.
7.19
After five-and-a-half years, it becomes quite the habit.
7.20
But he teases me about my shortness all the time, so, it's not entirely my fault I joke about his stupidity, even though he isn't that stupid.
7.23, En Route to the Common Room
I left my bag in the dormitory. Probably will need that at some point today, yeah?
7.25
And I might grab my clip-cloppers on the way... Those may come in handy whilst I try my new Rebellious Phase in Charms today.
7.26
Bwahahaha, Flitwick is going to be so annoyed with me by the end of class today!
7.27
Brilliant.
7.35, Girls Dormitory
Well, I can't seem to locate my clip-cloppers... Hmm, wait! I loaned them to James last week. They're probably still up in his dormitory...
7.37, Steps Leading to the Boys Dormitory
I am bravely going to venture where many girls have gone before: The Sixth Year Boys' Dormitory!
7.39, Boys Dormitory
Well, it's quite a mess in here... Looks like some kind of natural disaster happened...
7.40
Ah, good times. I remember my epic Shrine Hunt with Remus... It seems like that happened so long ago now, seeing as we don't really talk much anymore...
7.41
... What was my purpose for coming here again?
7.42
Oh, right! To find my clip-cloppers! Better start searching!
7.49, En Route to Divination
Well, I found my clip-cloppers, but that's not really the purpose for writing. You see, just as I was shouting "Eureka!" in a very Yankee kind of way, Remus walked in and I received four different looks in the span of two seconds. First there was the shocked look, then the curious look, next was the ever-popular slightly-angry look, and, finally, the annoyed/"I'm just going to pretend I don't see her there" look. Which lead to my awkward greeting of "Howdy." Yes, I did say "Howdy." My exact words. True, true.
7.52
I wish I'd said something at least slightly normal. But, no, I have to be a prospector from the American Wild West.
7.53
What is wrong with me!
8.06, Divination, Across from Bridget
I really think I'm dropping this useless class next year. I don't have the "Inner Eye" nor do I want to. Not my style.
8.07
My style is more, "Write-y, write-y, read-y, read-y" and vise versa.
8.08
That was quite possibly the most intelligent thing I've said all morning! Yes! High-five to myself in my head!
8.09
La dee da...
8.23
How much slower can this class possibly go?
8.24
Bridget's snoring... Wonder what kept her up so late last night that she didn't get much sleep?
8.25
Haha... I just snickered...
8.26
Whoever said I would make a terrible Slytherin was wrong. In fact, I'd make a great Slytherin seeing as I've finally perfected The Sneer, and now I have The Snicker down. In fact, being a Slytherin isn't that hard to do!
8.49, Packing Everything Up
That was quite possibly the slowest class ever.
8.51, Going Down the Stairs
Just another reason to drop Divination!
2.16, Charms, Partnered-Up avec Jamesie-poo
Well, I've already proved to be quite the nuisance today by making a very loud, clip-cloppy entrance. And, I clip-clopped over to James.
2.18
But Flitwick still doesn't seem annoyed. What if I turn James into a puffy, little, yellow thing?
2.19
That would be quite annoying, especially because this is Charms, not Transfiguration.
2.20
Brilliant idea! Now, to turn James into the most adorable, little, puffy yellow thing ever!
2.24
Mwahahahahaha! That's hilarious! He's a puffy yellow thing with glasses! Ah, one moment, I have to high-five Sirius.
2.25
I think I've found my inner Marauder!
2.26
Haha! James just tried to speak, but he squeaked instead! Oh, tears are coming to my eyes!
2.27
This is just too much!
2.35
Awww, Flitwick changed him back. And he's asked to see me after class. Oh, blast.
2.36
Note the sarcasm.
2.38
Well, James is a pretty good sport. He thought it was pretty brilliant, too. And he says that I am definitely fulfilling the Honourary Marauder position that I've acquired.
--------------------------------------
It's Spring Break! Yay! So, look out for some hopefully awesome updating skills this coming week. Hope you liked the chapter. The Harry Potter Universe belongs to J.K. Rowling. That which you do not recognize from the books or movies belong to yours truly. Anyway, the little, puffy yellow thing that Lizzie turned James into was inspired by Katie from "Horton Hears a Who," which is a very cute movie that I recommend. It made me laugh. A lot. And the song that Sirius sang was "L-O-V-E" by Nat King Cole. (Or, at least, that is the recording of it that I prefer.) Hope you enjoyed! As always, please keep reading and reviewing! Much love.
