Without further ado, let's continue with the story!
Chapter 4
JAMES POV
After they had eaten their breakfast, Sirius, Peter and James hurried over to the hospital wing, to spend the Sunday with their friend.
Remus looked fine. Not like he did two years ago after the full moon. Poppy had been shocked when she found Remus with just a few bruises. She thought it was the medicine they'd tried. She didn't have to know, that Remus didn't took the medicine, because it make him vomit like a maniac.
While they sat there, waiting for him to wake up, Sirius said.
"Hey James? Where were you while we were out with Remus? Suddenly you just disappeared, and returned after half an hour".
James just looked at him. Then he shrugged.
"That's a secret, you see, if I tell you this now, you won't have the chance to enjoy it later, or see me enjoy it for that matters. Just wait, and then you'll see".
Sirius made the happiest smile he could ever imagine.
"This has something to do with Evans right? I tell you Prongs, the day she'll say yes, that day I'll wear a dress and a crown for classes!"
Peter beamed. "Oooh! Look at Siriuselle, so pretty!" Then he laughed so loud, that they were sure Moony would wake up.
Sirius stared him down.
"Shut up Wormtail. It's not gonna happen!"
"Of course it will happen! And when it does, I will personally force you into that dress Siriuselle!"
James stated, like it was obvious.
"I have a whole year to make her love me. And this time it will happen! Or else I'll show up to the exams with that dress!"
Sirius looked at him. Then grinned.
"Deal".
He put his hand out, and James took it for shaking it.
Peter rolled his eyes at them.
"And I will be the one to photograph it, when it happens".
They both glared daggers at him.
LILYS POV
When Lily arrived to the common room, she sat down on a chair next to some third years, who was doing a chess game.
She didn't know what to do with the day, the homework for the next week, she'd done long time ago, and Mary was out with Michael. So she decided to spy on the rest of the common room. This particularly enjoyment was something Lily had a bad habit of doing when she was bored. The others in the room didn't seem to mind it that much, and come on, what else could you do on a plain boring Sunday afternoon like this? Lily couldn't find anything else she rather do, so spying in the common room it was.
Under the big window, some fifth years sat, whit their noses buried down in their homework. Lily supposed they'd staggered the work to the last minute. She snorted, that was definitely not a good idea, but she understood them. If she'd had any hobbies, she would absolutely prioritize them over the homework. That was just basic knowledge.
But the fact that she hadn't got any hobbies, made her make the homework way before any normal person would do them, made her a little sad inside, and quick she turned her head, to see after some other people.
Beside the fifth years, sat some really small girls, she would have guessed they were first years, if it weren't for the fact that she'd see them be in the room for the last four years. That made them fourth years. They were like sticks; Lily presumed they didn't ate anything ever. Anyway, they just sat there, as gigglishley as a fourteen-year old girl could do, Lily followed their pointing fingers with her eyes, and saw, big surprise, Sirius Black entertain a whole bunch of girls with balancing a spoon on his nose.
She couldn't find the fun in what he was doing. In fact she found it rather hideous, and started laughing out loud like some kind of freak, laughing of herself. This made several of the fourth years to look at her weirdly, which she found much more fun, and she started to laugh like a mad. There hadn't been anything fun in her school-life so far, and everyone needed to laugh if of from times to times.
Then started to think about how much a fool she made out of herself, by doing such a thing, and she hurried up to her dorms to laugh about everything. Everything that last night had made her cry, she now laughed about, for no particular reason.
///////////////
After Lily laughed it all of she begin to realise, that it all was going to end good somehow. Who cares if she and Severus weren't friends anymore? Who cares if Potter just liked the chase of her? Or if he just felt pity for her, because no one else had the guts to ask her out, because she was such a lost case? – The latter more positive. Who cares if Mary weren't the same listener as Severus was? She had her Teddy bear to talk too, and she knew that little George always would help her.
With that up lightened mood, Lily went down for dinner, with George under her arm. She felt ratter silly doing that, like a homesick first year, but then she realised she didn't care. She hadn't seen Mary all, but supposed she were fine with Michael somewhere in this castle. She didn't care about that either. Today was just a non-care-day. Lily used to really think about other people feelings, and how they were or so, but not today. A big burden had been lifted from her shoulders, and she felt like screaming of happiness.
Lily sat down alone on the end of the Gryffindor table, grabbed the bottle with potatoes, and started to eat. Just as she sat there eating in peace, Anna took the place left to her.
"Lily! You got to help me! I know that you're the girl in this school, that has the biggest nerve, and since I don't, I wondered if you could…"
She was stopped by Lily. "I don't have this school biggest nerve; in fact, I'm rather shy, just because I don't like being tramped on by others, who think they rule this school, doesn't mean that it's not making me feel uncomfortable".
Anna just looked at me. "See, as I was about to say, you can speak your opinion freely, without care about others feelings, so here, if you could help me with…"
"Hold there Anna! I do care about others feeling. I really do! What with that time Nikki got that awful haircut, and I was the only one in the dorm, that could say to her, she looks rather nice? Or when that little 1. year showed me that ugly painting he'd made because I was helping him with his homework? Don't you call that nice? Aren't that what nice and caring people do?"
Anna just looked at her, and started explaining.
"Yeah, but after you told Nikki about her haircut, you said that you knew a spell that could turn her hair back to normal. And after you received that painting, you helped that 1. year kid with how to draw a pretty dragon. That's not nice Lily". She sounded like she'd explained these things to a seven year old kid, not a seventeen year old girl.
"Okay, okay, I'm normally nice, that was just some really bad examples, now would you hand me the meat?" Lily tried, but Anna continued.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say Lily. Now listen, I actually have a point in what I'm trying to say, okay? Just listen 'till I've finished".
"I will".
"LILY!" Anna screamed. A little too loud, it caused many turning heads.
"Uuups, sorry Anna, please do continue".
"I'm trying. Now, I'm just going to do it short okay? You're making it a little hard for me" Lily nodded at her.
"You got some nerves, and I'm going to ask you to do me a favour? No speaking Lily!" She said, as Lily tried to say something.
"Okay, you now I like Sirius right? I know you know, even if you pretend not to listen, when we're talking about it. Can't you ask him for me, what he thinks of me? Just don't do it too obvious, would you Lily? Pleaaaase? I'm begging!"
Anna looked at her with big poppy eyes.
"Honestly Anna, I don't think I could do it. Not because I haven't got the nerve, but because, have you seen the way we're talking to each other? It's not like we're buddies or something. He just talks to me because it's some kind of joke they've going on, about who can irritate Lily the most, and right now, Potter wins".
"If you say so," Anna said as she rolled her eyes. "But he's on good terms with you Lily, I just know it! You just aren't in good terms with him! Please Lily, I really need to know! If you do it, I won't bother you with Potter for a week! Please Lils, I'm desperate here".
"Okay Ann, if you really won't bother you with Potter, then I guess I'll do it. Should I do it now?"
Anna nodded. And Lily went over to the marauders.
"Hiya Lily! Mrs. Prongs! Whatcha up to?" Sirius started.
She groaned. "Black, please, don't you know how to speak proper English or what?"
"I guess. It's just not as funny as the other thing".
"Listen, I have a question for you. If you could pick every girl in this school for a date, who would you choose?"
Sirius grinned. "Whoa Lily, I understand your choice, but I could never cheat on Prongs' girl. Don't you understand that? No matter how much I would've wanted it".
James glared daggers at him, from the other side of the table, but it looked like he'd got an silencing charm over him, with the way his mouth were moving without any sound coming out.
Lily stared. "I didn't mean me! How could you even think about that? I have much better sense, than fancy you Black!"
Potter looked relieved, and like he'd been holding his breath.
"But what about our James here? He's a much better choice than I am, if I should say it myself".
"I don't have time to talk about this right now! Now, who would you choose?"
"I would choose..." He made a long fake break. "That smoking hot 6. year Ravenclaw Marlene MacKinnon".
"Okay, good, we're getting there. What about in Gryffindor?"
"Do you know something I don't, Evans? You make it sound like it's a specific girl's name I should say, or else I'm going to be hexed or something".
"Just answer my question Black".
"I would choose, I would choose, I would".
"Come on, I don't have the whole day, okay"
"Jeeez Lils, I'm getting there. I would pick that 5. year Sandra Parkinson".
"What about in our year?" She tried, if she had to wrap the answer out of him, she would.
"Aaaarg Evans, haven't I answered enough now? Put then I would choose Alexandra White, I like her hair though".
Then she couldn't hold it anymore. "What about Anna Stewart?"
"Oh, is that the one, who'd send you over here? She's okay I guess, sort of pretty. Does she like me?" He looked at me, like he'd already knew the answer.
"Good". Then she left, without answering his question.
/////////////////
Just as Lily sat down, Anna started to overwhelm her with questions.
"What did he say? Oh Lily come on! How can you eat in times like this?" She said, while she forced the fork out of her mouth.
"That wasn't very nice Anna! And you're saying I'm not a nice person! Psh". Lily said. "But Black thought you – in his words exactly – sort of pretty. Is that good enough for you?"
"Oh Lily! Yes it is. Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Then she got up, to give Lily a big hug. While she was doing so, Dumbledore tried to get everyone's attention.
"Does the food taste good? Now, I hope that you all had a very spectacular first week at Hogwarts; if not, I guess it's your own fault". Then he chuckled. "Now, as you may or may not know, the first one more realistic, there's this dark wizard out there, Voldemort. As I've heard, he's a great legimens, and then we'd found out a way, to help you to keep him out of your minds".
Lily looked interested at him. How could you do that?
"Now, I think many of you now wonder, how you can do that, but here it comes. Everyone at you has now received a book-"Lily looked around. A book? Where? But then a sudden 'plop' came, and then everyone Hogwarts student sat with a diary in their hands. "Just before you go to sleep, please do write in this book, everything that comes in your minds. Now, I believe you all have finished your dinner? Off you go then".
Lily didn't know what to think. A diary to fight legilimency? It all seemed a little too easy, but she would do it though, that Voldemort guy sure was some of an evil creature. She wasn't even sure if he could be called an actual person, because no one with a heart could or would such terrible killings as he'd done.
A/N: I hope you all liked it!
Please review and tell your opinion!
I would also say that I'm terribly sorry for the long wait! I'll try update faster next time!
Thirdly, I'm still confused if there is such thing as a head dorm. If there are, or if there's not, please inform me. I think there are as a head dorm, but I'm not sure how it would work in this story, so please tell me if you want it in or not!
