Pride

A/N: First of all Happy Pride Month y'all!!! And also this is the first one shot without song. Just fun at Hogwarts :)

It was finally June and a happy professor McGonagall ran up to headmaster Dumbledore's office. "Albus! What month is is?!", she exclaimed excitedly. "June? Why Minnie?", asked a confused Albus. "Oh God, Albus! It's the moth for the gays, the bis, the pans and all the community!", Minerva kept crying enthusiastically. Albus put his head in his hands. "What is it now Minerva? Do you want to organise something big again?", asked the headmaster. "Yes!!! A parade, a party and all food has to be in all the colours of the rainbow!", McGonagall replied still with her energy at the max. "Alright, I will talk to the house elves about the food. You can organise the rest.", answered an exasperated Albus. "Yay!!!!!", shouted Minerva as she practically skipped out of the office.

She was still skipping down the corridor when a certain Black ran into her. They both hit the ground with a grunt but that didn't ruin the obvious smiles on their faces. "Mr. Black. Please pay attention to where you are going.", the professor scolded smiling. Sirius put his hand to his neck and looked dow2n sheepishly. "Didn' wanna keep Remus waiting.", he said as he looked into McGonagall's eyes. "And I didn't want to keep Madam Pomfrey waiting but here we are wasting our precious time with idle chatter. Run off Black.", said the professor trying and failing to sound stern. Sirius looked shocked for a minute before he shook it off and kept speed walking in the direction of the Gryffindor wing while McGonagall kept walking towards the hospital wing. "Poppy love-of-my-life, future-Mrs.-McGonagall Pomfrey!", shouted the overexcited animagus. The healer came out of her office with an amused smile on her face. "What is it now Minnie?", she asked. "We have a huge party to plan! I mean huge! Banners, balloons, Quidditch, pranks! Everything!", cried Minerva. "Oh god, its pride month isn't it?", asked the healer. "Yes!", replied the professor. "Alright, I will organise a planning committee. You go talk to the Prewett twins about pranks and things.", Madam Pomfrey said to the slightly crazed transfiguration professor. "On it!", McGonagall replied as she rushed to the nearest fireplace to firecall all the joke suppliers in the region. Poppy headed down to the Great Hall. She stepped in and and put a sonorus charm on her voice and called "Potter, Black, Lupin get yourself down here. McKinnon, Meadowes, McDonald you too." The called-upon individuals came running from all the corners of the hall. "Can't forget, Snape, Narcissa and Regulus Black, Malfoy, Evans. Get over here." Everyone gathered at the entrance of the hall near their professor. "Wonderful children. We will be using professor McGonagall's classroom. Now please follow me, I will explain when we get there.", Poppy instructed. They all walked to the professor's classroom and the healer restated the benches to all be looking towards the center and the tables to stand by the wall with a flick of her wand. "Sit, children. We will now discuss why you are all here. You are some of the most capable *cough* and gay *cough* students here. I thought you could help me with some preparations for the upcoming Pride Month celebrations. Black, Meadowes, McDonald and Potter, you will be in charge of pranks together with professor McGonagall. McKinnon, Regulus Black and Snape, you will be in charge of schedules. Lastly, Evans, Malfoy and Narcissa Black, you will be in charge of the decorations. Now, get to planning.", concluded Poppy as she rearranged the tables to form the groups she had assigned. Lily looked at the two other in her group. The two looked like a couple and it made her wanna retch. Why was everyone in Hogwarts only looking for love when there was so much to learn? She took out her quill and started chopping down a few ideas. She drew a quick sketch of a few banners. Narcissa leaned over the parchment and pointed to a banner. "That looks amazing Evans, we will definitely use that. What do you think Luc?", she asked the other Slytherin. "Uh, what did the Mudblood draw? Oh, yeah, whatever.", he spat. Narcissa turned on him and slapped him hard across the face. "Get a grip you vile human being!", she screeched and stood up to sit on the other side of the table. She laid an arm around Lily. "Sorry, we don't all behave like him. He's a jerk.", she comforted the slightly annoyed Muggleborn. Lily smiled at her and continued to draw banners. Narcissa pointed out the ones she liked while Malfoy just sat quietly.

After three days of intense planning, it was finally weekend and time to put up all the decorations and prepare for the party. Narcissa and Lily had grown closer over the period of planning and were now 'really close friends'. Lily was levitating the decorations up and Narcissa was casting the temporary sticking spells. Lucius just sat in a corner and pouted. Suddenly, one banner fell on top of Lily. Narcissa laughed as she walked over and tried to help Lily out from under the cloth. Instead they ended up both trapped under the banner. "Look at us, smartest our age and trapped under a damn banner!", giggled Lily. Narcissa leaned against her friends shoulder and laughed. Lily looked at the Black and felt a sudden urge to hold her close. So, being the Gryffindor she was, she did. She held Narcissa close and whispered in her ear: "Cissa, what are we?" Narcissa perked up before relaxing back into the Muggleborn's arms. "What do you want to be?", she answered with her own question. Lily drew back a bit. "Narcissa Black, will you be my girlfriend?", she asked uncertainly. Narcissa pulled her close and pressed their lips together. Lily leaned into the kiss and accepted all the love and warmth that came with it. They kept savouring the passionate moment without noticing the voices of people unsticking the banner from around them. Suddenly, the protective fabric was lifted and a collective gasp was heard. Then there was cheering. Lily and Narcissa broke apart just to see the happy faces of most of their friends. Except maybe Malfoy but that was fixed by an intense stunning spell from Minerva. "I0m so happy for you girls!", shrieked McGonagall enveloping them in a hug. The girls couldn't hide their smiles as all their friends congratulated them. This month had been full of surprises and it wasn't even over yet. They couldn't wait for what was yet to come.
