Chapter 24. Fights and fun plants.

The morning was misty and the air was feeling heavy around the castle. Most of the students were staying inside and those that had to leave the castle for classes outside were dressed in hats, scarves and wearing their dragon hide gloves to keep warm.

It was Herbology and again it was a mix of Slytherins, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Gryffindors. James walked down toward the green houses with Remus, Sirius and Peter trailing behind them looking fearfully around him it was the only other class they shared with Peter this year. They did not notice his fear or that several Slytherins were walking toward them wands raised.

“Guys” Peter finally whispered to get their attention.

Remus with the best hearing looked back to see what the problem was.

“Whasup Peter?” Lupin slowed to let him walk beside him. James and Sirius stopped to turn to see what was going on when they saw the Slytherins walking down toward them.

“Looky, Looky it’s the snakeis.” Sirius said with a laughing sneer.

“I wonder what their up too?” Lupin said.

Peter slowly made his way to the back of the other boys. None of them noticed it yet.

“I’m sure it’s nothing good.” James spat.

The boys looked over to see a group of girls walking toward them, for class, all dressed warmly.

“I can’t believe the weather first it real nice and warm then completely change.” Lily rubbed her arms to warm them up.

The girls were all in agreement as the weather had changed drastically.

“Ooh look the Mudbloods’.” Bellatrix had moved out from a few bushed to stand in their way. She was very bitter for failing thrice and having to repeat years.

“Get lost Bellatrix.” Lily looked at her as though she was scum on the bottom of her shoes.

“I think not. I think we shall have some fun.” Bellatrix laughed in a maniacal way causing most of the girls to shiver.

“You want fun huh, I’ll give you some.” Lily retorted.

Bellatrix screamed with laughter her wand out and yelling.

The four boys were running as fast as possible back to the girls.

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” James yelled as Lily was knocked to the ground.

Lily landed hard on the cold ground her robes in disarray, her hat had fallen off and her scarf was half burn away.

“That’s the best you can do it’s not much.” Lily yelled. She rolled over to look up from the ground. Lily shot a curse at Bellatrix who went flying through the air to land at the Slytherin boys’ feet.

Sirius, Remus and James faced the three girls and seven boys all facing each other.

“What took you so long?” Lily smirked at James he smiled back at her.

Neither saw Snape in the back yet, a look of horror on his face when he saw Bellatrix hit Lily with the spell.

“It didn’t take that long.” James grinned with a wink at her.

“How pathetically cute, little old Quiddich hero is helping the little Mudblood who doesn’t know her place.” Bellatrix screamed as she raised her wand again.

She wasn’t quite fast enough as Lily sent her the same spell she had just used to send her out flying ten feet from them again landing with a loud thud. She lay on the ground seemingly very woozy as she held her head. “At least I haven’t had to repeat grades unlike some I could mention.” She chuckled since she was in the same grade as her sister Narcissa now.
