Suffering and Recovering [A Marauders Era Fanfic]

Ch. 12 ~ First Day and Funny Business

Sent from my iPad, so I hope you feel loved.
The first time I wrote this, I got half of it done before wattpad published it as its own story. It was pretty funny, but it threw me off completely. You didn't need to know that, but whatever, now you do. Oh yeah and I own nothing.

Kay thanks enjoyyy

As I walked down the Charms corridor, Lily told me what to expect. Apparently the professor was a very short person. Well, he was an actual dwarf, to be precise. But according to Lily, he was very sensitive about his height, and we shouldn't mention anything about it to him.

She also told me that the last person to make a height joke about him was charmed to say something brutally honest to everyone he met for the next three days, causing him to lose most of his friends and gain a month of detention.

Seems like a lovely bloke, doesn't he?

We were the last students to arrive to the classroom, though there were still five minutes before class actually started. Upon arrival, we realized that there were only three seats available- one next to James, one in front of him and next to Sirius, and one next to some Ravenclaw lad. Since we still had a bit of time before class began, Lily and I stayed in the back.

"Let's mess with him," Lily whispered to me, a mischievous glint in her eyes. I smirked to myself as she told me the details to her little plan.

Oh, this is gonna be brilliant!

Lily sat in the seat next to James, and I sat in the seat next to the Ravenclaw. As Professor Flitwick, the Charms professor, began droning on about O.W.L.s, I pulled out a piece of parchment.

"Conversatus intimatem," I whispered, glancing at the Ravenclaw boy to see if he noticed. He was oblivious; we were safe so far. As I mumbled the chat password ("Amicitia"), I gave Lily a thumbs-up from across the room. She grinned, and seconds later, there was new writing on the parchment.

♥ Finally! What took so long?

I grinned as her neat writing appeared on the top of the page.

I forgot the password, babe, I replied. I had to use my left hand so that it'd be harder to identify my handwriting, but it was worth it. My brother needs to be knocked off of his high horse a few times; his ego's been going out of control lately.

I glanced at Lily to see what was taking her so long. She had pushed her paper slightly away from her, and I could see James reading it. His face reddened a bit, and he was clenching his fists on his desk. I could barely contain my laughter as Lily's next words appeared on the parchment.

♥ Well, never mind that. What matters is that you're here now. I miss you, honey-bunch.

I had to hold my hand against my mouth to keep from making any noises. The Ravenclaw next to me was shooting me curious glances, but I didn't care.

Me too, babycakes, I scribbled on the parchment. Wait until Hogsmeade weekend. I managed to get a job there.. and I've planned something special. I have something I went to give you... and perhaps even take something from you. ;) I'm sure you can guess what it is, you beautiful, clever girl.

Okay, so maybe that was a bit too much, but I did what I had to do. I could see Lily blushing a bit from the thought of what I had implied. She waited a second before replying.

♥ We'll see ;) It depends on how everything goes, and whether or not someone becomes suspicious.

Oh, you didn't tell anyone about me?
