Lily Flower

Sixth Year Gryffindor Prefect and walking cheek machine ❝Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.

[missmacdxnald]

                 [ When was the last time she had any sleep? It seemed like such a foreign concept. ]                  One moment you’re fine,                       But you never are, are you?                  in your bed and convinced                   When was the last time Mary               that you can close your eyes,                  felt that way? Nearly a year.              that no harm will come to you.                  A whole year had passed,              Not in the stillness of the night.                 and still sleep eluded her.         For those few hours, you’ll be safe.             It wasn’t surprising anymore.                [ His hold on her was still there, always        remaining, reminding, his eyes in the hallway bearing a hole into her skin. He was in the same castle as her. He could come at any moment. A small part of her hoped he wouldn’t dare do such a thing again, but then she knew better to have hope. ] And so Mary often wound up in such a predicament, where it was the middle of the night and everything was calm. But she was terrified. Leaning back slightly in the library chair, Mary couldn’t help but be thankful she knew how to sneak around- something she owed largely to James. The library was nice at night time.                [ There were few people one could trust these days. James would always be a confidant of hers. ] Then a figure moved in the distance, peaking her curiosity. "Who’s there?" She called out, gripping her book tightly.

Alice and Marls were fast asleep when Lily awoke in the dead of night, unsure what had disturbed her pleasant slumber. When she rolled in her bed, she immediately noticed that Mary was missing from their dorm. This wasn't the first time it had happened, but still she worried about her friend.

When she wandered down to the common room and didn't find her there, she rushed quietly back up to her dorm to find her uniform from the day before still tossed over her truck at the end of her bed. Without waking her friends, she dressed and slid her feet into her shoes. Once decent, she slipped out of the tower and went in search of Mary.

By the time she reached the library she'd lied to four different prefects about being on an extra patrol at McGonagall's request, and when she slipped into the room she had to duck behind a shelf to avoid being spotted by Madam Pince. "Easy Mac," she whispered, hands in the air when her friend spotted her. "It's just me, Lils."

Hearing the crash, Regulus dashed over to see if she was all right. Lily was on the floor, her hair a mess, her skirt in disarray, but he could clearly see that she was not seriously hurt. This was reinforced when she managed to stand up.

Lily easily stood half a foot taller than Regulus. He needed to crane his neck back, slightly, to look her in the eye. Her physical presence, along with the boisterousness of her voice, was quite intimidating indeed. He was used to being smaller than other boys — he was unsure if his growth spurt hadn’t hit yet or if it simple hadn’t done much for him — but to stand right before a young woman who could easily tackle him to the ground if she wanted was unsettling.

And upon replaying the scene of this creature, monstrous by comparison, falling to the floor, he burst into a fit of giggles.

"M’sorry! Lily, I’m sorry —" (his laughter was interspersed with words) "—it’s jus’… That was too funny!"

He threw his hand over his mouth in an effort to calm himself down. It was only partly successful.

"D’you need to… I dunno, go to the infirmary or something?"

[infamouslilyflower]

Perhaps if she'd been in a better mood, less tired and irritated, she might've been able to laugh at her clumsiness. It wasn't as if this was the first time she'd proven less than graceful, and more often than not she joined in the good natured laughter as they teased her. But now as she rapidly ran slender fingers through completely mussed dark red curls she was in no mood to giggle. "Something funny, Little Black?" One eyebrow lifted in question, her lips set in a grim line.

The edge in her voice was razor sharp, with far more venom than the situation called for; it was unfair of her, and she knew it. She already towered over him in her bare feet, and now that she was slipping into her heels again it seemed she was gaining another four inches of advantage over Sirius' little brother. 

"I'm fine; nothing hurt," the words come out a low whisper, and she smoothed her skirt and straightened the bright crimson and gold tie hanging around her neck. "Don't see how it's at all funny, Black. Maybe someone ought to knock you on your arse and see if you giggle." Really, snapping at him was uncalled for, and perhaps if she hadn't spent her energy worrying the embarrassment would have been easier to bear. But her pride had been injured, and she couldn't stand it.

Remus had to purse his lips tightly to stop himself from bursting into laughter at the show Lily was putting on. He had never been incredibly short in comparison to most people his age before his growth spurt, but it had always been annoying walking around older students and feeling even more insecure than he already did. Now he almost wished he was tiny again so he didn’t stick out like a sore thumb in a crowd. So he couldn’t imagine how Lily must have felt when she had been their height only a few years ago and now they all towered over her, well except Pete, of course.

"Alright, alright, enough already," he teased, giving her shoulder a light shove, "if I didn’t know you any better I’d say you were learning a thing or two from James and Sirius in the world of over dramatics." He then settled down with sitting on one of the tables as he wiggled his eyebrows suggestively at her. "Oh, you’re the one finally doing the chasing? James will be so pleased!" While he knew mostly about how Lily felt about James’ advances he couldn’t help but tease her about it every now and then. How could he not when it was two of his best friends? Two of which he thought would make the absolutely perfect couple, but of course he’d never say that to either of them out loud.

[infamouslilyflower]

The ease of her friendship with Remus was something that she'd grown to rely on, especially when things were difficult, and after losing Severus last term he was quite possibly one of her best friends. When she could not turn to the girls, Remus always seemed to be there. Her smile brightened, and for the first time in quite a few days she relaxed, in spite of all they'd been dealing with since the letter arrived. "I am not over-dramatic. And I'm certainly not as dramatic as those two blokes and the way they reacted when we came to tell them about Quidditch." The book set aside she leaned against the shelf behind her, carefully avoiding the books that were settled along the edge for fear of knocking them over.

Color rose in her cheeks, and she quickly ducked her head, eyes remaining on her toes for the moment. "I do not exclusively chase Potter, and in fact I tend to leave chasing him to the other Prefects." There was a faint giggle behind her tone, and when she looked up she fervently hoped the blush had faded. "I did do a fair bit of chasing yesterday, and I'm ashamed to admit that it was some of our third years. Apparently they got it into their heads that the cancellation of Quidditch was all the fault of certain Slytherins and they were attempting to jinx them. I'll be glad when things go back to normal."  She shook her head, arms crossed.

All his joking aside, James really quite enjoyed moments like this. Moments where it was just him and Lily, glib as you like and trading jokes back and forth. Some might call the things she threw at him insults but he begged to differ. Her cheek was one of the many things about Lily that drew James to her. She didn’t blush and giggle and turn into an airhead like some birds, and even though she claimed he was the bane of her existence, she didn’t get frustrated and huff off speechless when he started in on her. She traded barbs with him as easily as Sirius and for that he respected and admired her.

"I’m sorry to say it but she charmed me, Evans," he absently began to scratch the puff behind it’s ears, eliciting another round of purrs from the creature and adding to James’ grin. "You know I’m a dog person." The joke was only mildly lost on Lily but it made him chuckle anyway. When she mentioned her pajamas, a rosy color threatened the lightness in her cheeks and James gestured to her as he spoke again. "Then that’s another thing I have to thank the little puff for. And something I can cross off my bucket list."

"Alright then, if you want the furball back you’ll have to come and get her," he said after a moment, leaning easily against the wall beside him. "You know I can’t bring her up to you, though I’m sure you’d love to see the stairs slide me back down on my arse if I tried."

[infamouslilyflower]

She liked her position on the stairs; from where she was standing now she was not shorter than he was, and there fore did not have too look up at him. Without the advantage of her heels, she felt down right diminutive, and he always seem to be hovering above her, which made her irritating attraction to him even more difficult to disguise. More than once she'd complained to the other girls that she had no intention of letting him know about it and that she thought it was unfair that everyone had grown tall while she'd remained shorter.

"Then my dear Titania has singularly poor taste; why should she be interested in charming you of all people? She can't stand Remus, and he's a decent sort." She lifted an incredulous brow, hands still planted on her hips. Perhaps it was a touch unfair, unleashing her ire on Potter when he'd done nothing in particular to deserve it. One hand reached up to tuck her hair behind her ear. "Why should you--never mind, I don't want to know."

If she was being honest with herself, seeing him fall flat on his arse would be a bright spot in her day, but he was holding her kitten, who still seemed to have more affection for him than she did for her. And letting Titania take such a tumble would be unthinkable. Slender fingers ran through her hair, and she let out a sigh of resignation. Perhaps the sooner she got it over with the better. Bare feet carried her down the steps, and she tried not to think about the fact that someone else might see her as well. "I'll take my cat now."

Gryffindor Common Room || September 18 {Morning}

[prongsthelion]

James enjoyed thinking about few things as much as he enjoyed thinking about Quidditch but as his mind shifted gears from the game to Lily, he did nothing to stop it.  Evans had been a favorite subject him for years at this point, which was news to no one at all.  When he was younger, mooning over her was a favorite past time but as he got older, he took great pleasure in seeing how many shades of red he could cause her face to blush.  It was a game he played now with Sirius, denying both to himself and his best friend that he did it because Lily looked especially wonderful when her face matched her hair and her brows furrowed in irritation.

Since she’d come into possession of the tiny white fluffball, James had had an advantage in his game.  For some reason Lily couldn’t fathom but the Marauder’s all understood too well, the miniature snowpuff insisted on adopting James and only James out of the four of them.  A trait James wasted no time in encouraging when he thought of the possibilities this presented him.  

Opportunities like catching a glimpse of his favorite girl in nothing but her pj’s on a Saturday morning when she was too distracted by looking for her kitten to worry about dressing.  "It’s certainly not my fault if your cat knows a good thing when she sees one," he said with a smirk that would charm the knickers off any number of girls in school.  "Even if you don’t," he added before moving his gaze from her face to the rest of her and back again.  "That’s a good look, by the way."  He winked and then added, to the kitten, "Thanks for that."

[infamouslilyflower]

This was not how she imagined her morning to begin. Ordinarily she'd join Mary and Alice at the Quidditch pitch to watch Marlene practice, snapping pictures with her enchanted camera and sneaking glances at Potter when she thought no one was looking, or sneak off to the lake to read under her favorite tree. But nothing was ordinary this term, especially since that owl had arrived and Quidditch had been cancelled. Increased patrols, less sleep, and generally less fun had been taking up her time instead. Which would explain why she'd been threatened with detention no less than four times that week for cheeky responses.

And now she was standing in front of Potter in her tiny pajamas, blushing like a fool. It wasn't fair; why did he have to look at her like that? And why did he have to be so bloody good looking all the time?She turned her attention to Titania, purring in his arms, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes. The kitten had been a Christmas gift from her father at the beginning of last term, and she had immediately taken a liking to Potter.

"I don't know how you managed to charm my cat, nor how you managed to get her to work against me." she chewed her bottom lip, trying not to blush under his gaze, and shifted her weight, still acutely aware of how little she was wearing. "Stop staring you git. They're just pajamas, Potter, and you were not meant to see them. Ever."

[prongsthelion]

Gryffindor Common Room || September 18 {Morning}

James had been awake for at least an hour, having woken early to get to the pitch and get some solo practice in before the normal Saturday practice, but once he’d opened his eyes and cleared his sleep addled brain he’d remembered there was no practice because there had been no tryouts. He’d remained sitting in bed in a decidedly dark humor for nearly an hour, listening to Sirius snore and wondering how he could be so calm about the disastrous cancellation.  

About fifteen minutes earlier, a small furry head had bumped against his head and he looked down to see he had a visitor.  A smirk crossed his lips as he scratched behind the ears of Lily’s cat, Titania.  The cat changed the direction of his thoughts from Quidditch to a certain fiery red head and he was grateful for the lightening in his mood.  Eventually he threw a shirt over his pajama bottoms before scooping the cat up in one arm and carrying her out to the common room, stopping at the base of the stairs to the girls’ dorms. 

"Found: one extremely content feline," he called into the common room, nearly empty at this hour of the morning as most students were either still asleep or at breakfast.  "If not claimed in the next five minutes, she will be promptly adopted by a sixth year quidditch star in need of a mascot."

[infamouslilyflower]

She'd purposefully slept in this morning. It was the first Saturday that she didn't have patrols since classes began, and she desperately needed the rest. All work and patrols and no play made for a very tired and grouchy Lily Evans. By the time she finally crawled out of bed, it was quite possibly too late for breakfast. Groaning, she stumbled about the dorm, surprised that not even Marlene had slept as late as she had, before calling for Titania. The white munchkin kitten was no where to be found, and that was unsettling.

"Titania, where are you love?" If anything happened to the kitten she would be devastated. but chances were that she'd slipped off to the common room in search of breakfast since Lily had slept in. She paused by her trunk to find some of the chocolate she'd hidden there before heading out of the dorm.

She'd assumed the common room would be empty, making it relatively safe for her to slip in still wearing her pajamas without being seen. But as she stepped out she heard a familiar voice, and a string of curses fell from her lips, muttered under her breath. Titania, the little traitor, had made her way to the boys dorm again; Lily trotted down the steps, stopping mid-staircase. "Potter, how many times do I have to tell you not to kitten nap my cap?" Hands planted on her hips, it suddenly dawned on her that she was standing there in her pajama, in front of one James Potter. Her eyes dropped down her bare legs, and her cheeks tinged pink. Of all the mornings for her to be wearing one of the stupid blue baby doll jumpers that barely skimmed her thighs and bloomers.

[foreverxblackeyed]

His eyes followed the voice, darting around through the stacks of books, not unlike a cat following a piece of string. When he saw those unmistakable eyes and the bright hair to match, he breathed a small sigh of relief and nodded back. “Oh. Hi Lily.”

Coming face to face with Sirius’s friends was always an uncomfortable event. He wanted so badly to lump them all into one group, label them The Enemy, and be done with it. But the others hadn’t done anything wrong, and Regulus wasn’t exactly in the position to be losing friends these days. Still, he wrinkled his nose with displeasure at the name Little Black (why did everyone keep calling him that?!), and he slumped a little in his seat, his shoulders drooping.

"M’sorry I startled you. I di’nt know it was gonna do that." He idly flipped it over with his foot, so at least its incessant mumbling would be muffled now. "Are you… o-okay, I guess?"

[infamouslilyflower]

From her position in the stacks she couldn't tell much about Regulus or his mood. She had to guess based on his tone, and it seemed like every time she saw him he was in a bad mood or at least a little dejected; like most people she was aware that he and Sirius didn't get on well, but not the reasoning. "I'm fine. What about you? You alright there?" The question was followed by a high pitched squeak as she teetered backward off her stool.

"Oof--blimey!" Cursing under her breath, Lily picked herself up off the floor and dusted her skirt and knees. She hated being so clumsy; how undignified and embarrassing was it to be both shorter now and unable to stand on her own two bloody feet.

[rj-moonylupin-deactivated201510]

Remus couldn’t help but let out a surprised bark of laughter at Lily’s reaction to his presence, but he was ready with his hands. One shot out to rest on her back to keep her from teetering over while the other clasped over his mouth for a moment in fear of the librarian’s reaction to such a loud noise. Once he realized he was safe from getting in trouble he easily extended his long arm out to reach the book she was struggling so hard to get. “You coulda just asked nicely instead of rambling on for ages,” he teased, sticking his tongue out at her playfully as he took a step away from her, bringing him nearly to the other shelves in one step thanks to his annoyingly long legs.

"Though a nice game of keep away does sound quite fun and entertaining at the moment," he stated with a wiggle of his eyebrows, jokingly holding his arm above his head to keep the book way out of reach of her grasp. Of course he would never be so cruel to actually do such a thing even in jest, and he was handing the book to her with a grin within a few seconds. "You should probably invest in some higher heel thingies, though. You sure you’re not shrinking, Lils?"

[infamouslilyflower]

Lily shared is fearful glances to see if Madam Pince was anywhere near them; the librarian tended to swoop in when they least expected it and threaten them with bodily harm for making the slightest noise. She'd been caught with a licorice wand last week and had to run from the library without her bag. "Oi, watch it, Rem; you're going to want my potions essay when I'm done." She planted her hands on her hips and gave him a mock glare. "So just hand me the book if you please."

Making a great show of jumping for the book, Lily couldn't help but giggle and reached both arms up to grab for it. "I can't help it that I'm suddenly miniature! You blokes all had to go and grow so damned tall" Glancing down at her toes, she released a small sigh, shaking her head; her smile never faltered, no matter how frustrated she was with her own height issues. With the book safely tucked under her arm, she hopped off the stool. "'M not shrinking, unless someone slipped me a potion when I wasn't looking. Not sure if I want higher heels, I've got enough trouble chasing around trouble makers in the ones I've got." 

[infamouslilyflower]

Library ♖ September 16【Afternoon】

[foreverxblackeyed]

Another noise?! He had thought he was alone. He shrieked, again, and lost control of the book. It fell to the floor, let out its own yelp of pain, and then started mumbling about respect for history and kids these days.

"What?? M’not —"

He whirled around, looking in the direction of the voice, but he could not see anyone.

"M’not bein’ murdered, s’just this book… it started yelling at me a-and…"

He frowned, now hyper-aware that he was being watched by someone he couldn’t see. Quickly, he combed his fingers through his black mop of hair, all the while darting his eyes back and forth, looking for the figure.

"Who… are you??”

[infamouslilyflower]

The book falling to the floor caught her attention briefly, and she winced when it began to yelp again. She really didn't understand the point of books that could scream at you. "You're telling me you don't recognize my voice?" For a moment it didn't dawn on her that he couldn't see her from her position in the shelves. And when it did she stifled a soft giggle; it would be most unkind to lurk unseen and torment him. 

"Up here, Little Black," she tried to direct him toward her voice to no avail, well aware of how precarious her perch on the stool was now that she was leaning through the shelves. "No, to your left, third shelf up, I'm the human face with red hair." When she finally made eye contact she gave him a small nod. The two rarely spoke, except during Prefects' meetings, and she knew that Sirius was not on the best of terms with his family. But they'd never had any ill will between them--she and Regulus--and she saw no need to simple ignore him or be cruel. 

[infamouslilyflower]

Library ♖ September 16【Afternoon】

[rj-moonylupin-deactivated201510]

Remus had decided to escape to the library for some peace and quiet, but for a different reason than he usually did. Most of the time it was to escape the guys and their constant ruckus, either to get some work done or prevent a headache from blowing out his eyes, but this time it was to escape from himself. Ever since his encounter with Sirius out by the lake a few days earlier his mind couldn’t shut the hell up, and while that wasn’t anything too out of the ordinary, it was getting so bad that it was keeping him up at night.

It was almost worse than the constant war between wolf and boy that went on inside of him, trying to decide how much to let Sirius back into his life. On the one hand he still felt the need to be careful, keep him at arms length so he didn’t get hurt again, perhaps even continue some more punishment even though the other seemed to be beyond remorseful for what he had done last year. But then he always really wanted him back in his life with this new strange development, to go beyond where they were before the incident, just to be free around him once more.

Though clearly being in the library wasn’t even helping him as these thoughts were still plaguing him, especially with talk of what Sirius brought up about skinny dipping and such discussed with Lily. Now that was quite difficult to ignore. Swallowing thickly, he wandered between the aisles, trying to find an appropriate book to keep him thoroughly distracted, preferably something he hadn’t read before, which really narrowed down his selection.

But when he rounded a corner and spotted Lily he couldn’t help but smile, somehow she always managed to make him feel better even if she didn’t know exactly what was wrong half the time. Clearing his throat he stepped up next to her and smirked, still taller than her even though she was on the stool. “Need some help, little lady?”

[infamouslilyflower]

There was a reason that she wore heels with her uniform, and it wasn't simply because they looked nicer and more lady-like and made her legs look smashing. They gave her three inches of extra height, and she really needed it. She had once been the tall one, but that was two terms ago and now it seemed that most of her friends were much taller than she was. Remus, Sirius, Peter, and James had shot up like bloody beanstalks, and even Marlene was taller than she was now. It was unfair. But her heels were of no use to her now, not when she was standing on her toes, trying to balance, and reach a book at the same time.

"Merlin!" She muttered under her breath, teetering off balance slightly as she stretched out with both hands and rose farther up on her toes, fingers brushing the spines of the books. Remus' voice caught her off guard, and she had to catch the shelves to keep herself upright. "Oi, warn a witch why don't you?  You startled me!" Even on her step stool she had to look up at him, and while she really wanted to be cross, it was difficult when faced with her dear friend. "I'm trying to get those books at the top without falling on my arse. Potions homework on healing potions, and of course I can't reach the books I need." The corners of her lips lifted in a small smile.

[infamouslilyflower]

Library ♖ September 16【Afternoon】

[foreverxblackeyed]

The library had become a safe haven for Regulus. The events of the summer had brought on a new level of isolation that he was not prepared for. The students who had heard of his notoriety had started avoiding him to the point where it was a struggle to make eye contact these days. And Regulus himself had started avoiding the other kids he had spent his summer with whenever he didn’t need to be in the Slytherin common room or at their regular, underground meetings. The library was the perfect place to be alone without looking like he was forced into loneliness.

He was sitting in the library stacks, a pile of history books in front of him. He had found himself engrossed in the history of Dark wizards, fascinated by their stories of how they chose their side and how they rose to power. These books, he reasoned, showed another side of these wizards, one that rationalized their decisions rather than merely writing them off as evil beings.

A book on Herpo the Foul was next in the stack. He grabbed at it eagerly, mesmerized by the two slitted eyes on the cover that met his gaze. But as he pulled back the cover, a dark cloud burst from the pages. A face emerged from the cloud, twisted and gray, and it emitted a horrifying screech. He squeaked in terror and slammed the book shut at once.

[infamouslilyflower]

Honestly, she wished that she'd been more like the boys, who were all now suddenly tall, because at this point she was standing on her toes, reaching with both hands for a book that was well out of reach. She'd kicked her heels off for added balance, but that has only served to shrink her down three inches and make it even more difficult. The ear splitting shriek made the petite young woman jump, adding her own squeal of terror, and she very nearly toppled off the stool she was using. A series of less than polite curses flew from her lips as she wavered, arms flailing outward.

"What the bloody hell?" Once she regained her balance, she climbed up to the very top of her stool. Slender fingers selected three books, pulling them carefully from the shelf so that she could see if anyone was on the other side. Her eyes widened when for a moment she thought she saw Sirius holding a book and looking extremely startled. "Oi, Black," she paused, realizing it was not her housemate but his younger brother. "Oi, Little Black what the devil was that dreadful scream. Sounded as if someone were being murdered over here."

[infamouslilyflower]

Library ♖ September 16【Afternoon】

All she wanted was a book on the history of healing potions, and so far she'd found nothing. It shouldn't be this hard to find, especially since the library look deserted. Glancing around, she noticed that she was alone, or at least it seemed like she was, so she reached for the small step stool beneath the window and pulled it over so that she could climb up to the higher shelves. So caught up in her search, she didn't notice that anyone was near until she heard a sound.

[missmacdxnald]

Of course she did, that woman loves seeing us frightened, I swear. If only it were capable for her to show such an emotion, but then she wouldn’t be the same ol’ Marls. Gross, ew, I mean      I remember the first time he did that to me. People in the Astronomy tower probably heard my shriek.

[infamouslilyflower]

"But where would we be without out lovely Marls? Someone has to keep us on our toes! Otherwise life would get very boring very quickly.I seem to recall you running off to hide for an hour after that."

[missmacdxnald]

S’a bit of a feat, isn’t it, when you’re a ghost and can still terrify people. At least they all leave us alone, unless Nick needs someone to talk to about only being nearly headless       but I’ll remember that. I’ll have to give it a go someday.

[infamouslilyflower]

"Well, I did get close to asking him about the blood once, because Marls dared me to do it, but I think it's his job to be terrifying really. Honestly, I think Nick is the most bothersome lately; yesterday I had to remind him that demonstrating how he is nearly headless to first years right after breakfast was inappropriate."

[missmacdxnald]

I tried that once, and he told me I was an ickle wickle coward who wouldn’t go near him           he was right. The shackles are a bit too much for me. I’ve always wanted to ask what happened, but that would require actually speaking to him.

[infamouslilyflower]

"I have to admit; I'm more that a little terrified of the Baron myself. I just try to make sure Peeves doesn't realize it. Usually the mere threat of it sends him running, you just have to say it with authority and not back down."

[missmacdxnald]

Peeves has pulled the rug out from underneath my feet three times in one week. At this point, I may have a bed in the hospital wing reserved especially for me and my back.

[infamouslilyflower]

"Honestly, if you threaten to tell the Bloody Baron, he often loses interest. I thought he was busy tormenting firsties anyway."

Great Hall ✶ September 14th【Breakfast】

[mrpxdfoot]

"That is a brilliant idea, Evans! Drunk skinny dipping sounds like something you must do before you die so…I’ll talk to Marls, maybe we can actually do it sometime." He laughed, part of him wondering in how much trouble they would get in if they actually did it because, in all honesty, it did sounds fun. "Oh, it would’ve been epic novel material, that’s for sure. I don’t know if people would hate you, Evans. Their love for drama is just as passionate as their love for quidditch."

[infamouslilyflower]

"Brilliant, I've gone and put ideas in your head. You can just forget about that right now. There's no way I'd get in that lake without any clothes on, not for a thousand galleons." A small giggle escaped her lips in spit of herself. and she shook her head. "Sure, the Great Battle of the Gryffindors; of course that would make me 'the girl who broke up Sirius Black and James Potter' and I'm not sure I could live with that. I think I'd rather not be some romantic heroine."
