Turns out, evaporating James Potter was the easiest thing EVER!
All I had to do was sweet-talk him into going into the forest with me. The rest of my plan just flowed.
Flashback-
'This place really creeps me out', I said looking around.
'Don't worry I'll protect you.'
'Yeah.' I said, grinning.
'Oh look, Flobberworms! They attacked Sirius, we should take revenge!' I pointed.
James nodded furiously. 'I will fight them or die trying.'
'How very brave of you.'
'Well, what can I say? I AM a Gryffindor after all.'
With that he punched the nearest Flobberworm. 'Don't you have a wand or something?' I asked.
'Naaah, forgot to bring it.'
'Oh, carry on, then. I'll meet you in the common room later.'
'Bye, Lilykins.' He said as he karate kicked the other one with a big Hiyyy-aahh. And as I walked out of there I could hear James talking to the worms. 'Fight me like a man, you worthless piece of shit!' and 'OW! YOU BIT ME!' I smiled as I went- thinking about what an evil genius I am.
-end flashback-
I grinned, I left the poor guy alone in the forest fighting a gazillion Flobberworms. I'm sure they can't harm him but what if he gets into coma or something? That'd suck for him. Oh, well.
I walked into the Library, hoping to find Remus. And there he was, sitting in a corner with a dozen books.
'Hey Remus!'
'Hey, what's up?'
'Ooh, nothing.'
'Seen James anywhere?'
'Er- he had to run some..errands.'
'Oh.'
'I was just going to meet Sirius, wanna come?'
'Sure, I still can't get over him being in shock after seeing a flobberworm.'
…
'So you're telling me he's still in shock?'
'Yes, he seems to be petrified of Flobberworms, must be a past life thing.' Said Madame Pomfrey.
Remus and I had come to visit Sirius in the hospital. He came because he was actually worried and I came because it'll be an AWESOME way to blackmail him. I even got my camera. Heck, it isn't everyday that a blackmailing douche bag gets petrified. Hopefully, it'll be enough to get my diary back.
'So can he talk to us right now?' Remus asked, looking amused.
'Yes, why not?' Madame Pomfrey said.
'Is he sleeping?' I asked, hopefully I'll be able to take pictures. I can almost imagine the headlines in the Hogwarts Times- Petrified by Flobberworms. Everyone will see it and I'll be able to force Sirius into exile.
I subconsciously started cackling evilly. 'Uh, are you okay?' Remus asked.
I hastily turned it into a cough. 'Yeah, just a er- tickle in my throat?'
'And, to answer your question, he is awake and waiting anxiously to meet you, Lily. Said something about Black's Mail. I suppose it's because he's not entirely in his senses.'
Black's Mail? Oh fuck, blackmail? Shit. Ruuun! Too late though, Remus was already dragging me in there to meet him.
'Evans, is that you?' he asked groggily.
'Uh huh'
'I have an idea for the next blackmail thingy-'
'Sirius? Remus is-'
'Not in love with you. James is. Isn't that the point of this whole blackmailing thing?'
'But Sirius-'
He raised his hand 'Look, Lily, If you wanna be un-blackmailed your diary is gonna be leaked. Your dirty little fantasies about Remus would be known'
'WHAT?'
'Remus, my buddy, what're you doing here?' said Sirius pleasantly.
'Oh, nothing much, just listening to you and Lily plotting James heartbreak and Lily I'm so-'
'Were you eavesdropping?' Sirius interrupted, shocked.
Meanwhile, I was resisting the urge to run away and hide. Or perhaps burst into tears. Which is exactly what I tried to do. But Remus didn't let me. I was blushing furiously. Coming here was a BIG mistake. Sirius just ruined everything for me. But I can't exactly blame him- the poor guy's practically in coma.
'Lily, I'm sorry, but I don't feel that way about you.'
'Oh.' What else could I say? I was trying my best not to burst into tears.
'Lily, I really am sorry. It's just that, James lo-er-likes you. He honestly does, no matter what you think. He'll be heart broken. I actually am sorry ' he said sincerely.
'I-' I began
'I'm gonna puke!' Sirius groaned, making a gagging noise.
'RUUUUN!' Remus screamed as I got to my senses and ran out of there.
…
I ran.
And ran.
And ran.
I don't have too much stamina so I could only run for around five minutes. I managed to reach a broom closet and cried my eyes out. I don't remember crying so much in my entire life. Why am I so upset, anyway? After hours of crying I realized that I cried for no reason at all. I mean, so what if Remus doesn't like me, it's not the end of the world. I'll get over it. I've never been the type to cry over some stupid guy anyway. I suppose I'll be sad. But at the end of the day it's his loss. Mine too, but I can ignore that minor detail. I'm not too good in the brain category when I'm-
(i) Upset
(ii) Angry
(iii) Trying not to be (i) and (ii)
So naturally I had to do just about the dumbest thing ever- trip over the trick stair. And if that wasn't enough I had to faint too.
The next thing I know, I'm lying in the Hospital Wing with Sirius Black. Could I get any worse luck? Didn't think so. Madam Pomfrey was fussing over me and giving me all sorts of nasty medicines because I was having a splitting headache.
'Who got me here, anyway?' I enquired.
'Oh, yes, it was young Peter Pettigrew. He leviated you.'
'I better thank him sometime, then.'
Apparently satisfied she walked away, probably to treat some other unfortunate soul. 'If you craved my company so badly, you could have told me. I mean, jeez, no need to almost kill yourself.' Sirius said.
'Oh, so you can talk now?' I said sarcastically. 'Well, Black I've got news for you. Since you very kindly told Remus everything I don't have to play your little game with you.'
'Well, my dear Lilykins, Remus is not the only thing you wrote about.' With that he took out my diary from under his pillow, wow, he sure is a dedicated blackmailer.
'Diary, I did something horrible - I lost a library book. I know, I'm toast. But that's not the horrible part- I gave Madame Pince a duplicate book. If anyone finds out I'll be expelled for sure. I can't believe it-I'm so stupid. I flushed it down the toilet by mistake- don't ask how. I hope I'm not ex-'
'Shut up!' I hissed hoping no one heard him.
Great, now he knows everything and there's nothing I can do about that.
I sighed 'So, now what?' I asked.
…
AN- 80 reviews? Wow. Thank you soo much. :)
Oh, and this chapter isn't as good as I hoped it would be, but whatever. I hope you guys like it, anyway.
Sorry for the late update. I'll try to update earlier from next time. :D
