lilium_evansiae: (so teach us things worth knowing)
Lily Evans ([personal profile] lilium_evansiae) wrote2011-06-28 08:08 pm

19 October 1976, Hogwarts Library

There's another faint burst of giggling from the stacks to her left, and Lily looks up from her essay (two rolls of parchment on the effect of the stage of the moon on medicinal potions), again, annoyed.

People are trying to work here.

And yes, there's a time-honored Hogwarts tradition of flirting and even stealing a kiss or two in the library, but Black and Perdita are taking it to ridiculous extremes.

But then, that's been the theme of their whole relationship, hasn't it? Ridiculous extremes.

Lily takes a breath, counts to ten and turns her attention back to her essay.

The new moon frequently has a beneficial effect on ...

More giggling, the thud of a book hitting the floor, and a 'whoops.'

Lily takes another breath, and tries to resist the temptation to go hex them both into some time next month.

A moment later, a floating paper lion makes its way through the air, as though it's running, until it lands on the table by her books. It closes the necessary distance between the empty bit of the table and her notes before it stops moving.

On it is a note.

It reads, should Lily unfold it:

L,

Are you as annoyed as I am right now?

Two or three tables over, James is working on his Charms homework. Remus and Peter are sitting across the table from him, noses buried in their own assignments.

James quietly snickers at the little PS of Lily's note.

Remus looks up inquiringly. He glances from James to the note in his hands, then rolls his eyes and returns to his work.

James grabs his quill again and writes back.

The note returned to her is a slightly less complex origami figure; it's a small parchment-coloured sailboat this time.

L

I think I can handle Amity Root.

I don't think I can handle the lovebirds.

Why they choose the library to do things, I don't know.

I'm actually trying to work this time.

alotofgood: (not the best posture)

James is about to write another letter when there comes a sort of protesting sound from behind the books.

"— I already told you," Sirius is saying, failing to keep his voice low, "it was nothing. I just couldn't spend time with you that night. I made it up to you, didn't I?"

James glances across the table. Remus and Peter meet his gaze.

Then he looks a few tables over to where Lily is.
alotofgood: (yeah — i see what you're getting at)

[personal profile] alotofgood 2011-06-29 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"And about that," Sirius says, his voice a loud hiss, "would you stop calling me that?"

James, still maintaining eye contact with Lily, presses his lips together. He obviously looks like he's trying not to laugh.

Remus lets out a soft breath.
alotofgood: (are you being ridiculous again?)

[personal profile] alotofgood 2011-06-30 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Sirius lets out an exasperated breath. "Well, I was lying, all right? I think it's stupid."

James quickly glances from Lily to his mates, then back again.

Anyone else currently in the library slowly starts to tune into this very interesting situation.

After all, they aren't exactly being discreet about it, are they?
alotofgood: (you've definitely got my attention)

[personal profile] alotofgood 2011-06-30 01:05 pm (UTC)(link)
"Nothing else, Perdita," Sirius says, his voice still a hiss, but with each word, it does get progressively louder.

James closes his textbook.

It's clear he's not going to get any work done.

"Bloody hell," Sirius continues, "why've you got to be so sensitive?"
alotofgood: (i'm here for you mate)

[personal profile] alotofgood 2011-06-30 01:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"'Course I don't mind," James says, pushing some of his own things a little closer toward him for more space.

(His heart does a little flip of something akin to glee.)

Remus and Peter glance up.

"Hello, Lily," Remus says, before adding, amused, "just another quiet day in the library, hmm?"


"— what kind of bollocks is that? You're 'supposed to be sensitive'? If I wanted a bloody sensitive girlfriend, I could've been dating Maria Cathersides."

(AKA the Girl Who Cries About Everything.)
alotofgood: (merlin's beard)

[personal profile] alotofgood 2011-06-30 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
All three boys cringe at the sound of Sirius being slapped.

The entire library, in fact, goes dead silent. (Even more silent than it usually is, with Amity Root around.)

"Bloody fucking hell, Perdita!" Sirius booms. It's clear he doesn't give a fig for their current location. "Yeah, well I've been through with you from the second week of this ridiculous farce!"

"I — yeah, I think so," James says.
alotofgood: (i find that a bit disturbing)

[personal profile] alotofgood 2011-06-30 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"What? That's not fair," Sirius is saying, but it's clear he isn't going to get out of this without further trouble, so he shuts his mouth.

James can imagine the look on his best mate's face, and tries not to laugh from where he is.

He shrugs at Lily.

Seconds later, Remus shuts his book with a quiet fwomp and gets to his feet.

"Well, I'm going to go back to the Common Room now," he says, as though this is any normal day at the library for him.

James is almost entirely impressed.

"Good night, everyone. I'll see you in Herbology in the morning."
alotofgood: (best thing i've heard all day)

[personal profile] alotofgood 2011-06-30 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
James starts to crack up (as quietly as he can) into the sleeve of his robes.

"Merlin's beard, that was — honestly, I can't even come up with a proper response right now."
alotofgood: (all smiles and a touch of smug)

[personal profile] alotofgood 2011-06-30 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
James is just working out the last bit of laughter before he nods.

(He completely ignores Amity Root.)

"Yeah," he says, clearing his throat and straightening. "I think so, too. That's going to be the talk of the school tomorrow."
alotofgood: (kind of a smooth-talker)

[personal profile] alotofgood 2011-06-30 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"True," he says, turning to glance at said Hufflepuff third years. "And no doubt Sirius and Perdita will have started going on about it on their way back to the Common Room.

"Blimey. That was quite the break-up."

Probably as entertaining as James imagines his own break-up to Coco Burwell must have been to anyone who wasn't him.
