Boredom. That familiar word you use when you have absolutely nothing to do, everythings dull and you lack interest in anything and everyone around you. It's used quite often, but with Juliet she used it almost every ten minutes or so. It wasn't that she was boring, just that everything else seemed boring to her. Due to her natural, energetic, hyperactive disposition and personality, she often ran out of things to do much too quickly, resulting in her boredom. Which usually lead to detention. Everyday.
This is because of all the things Juliet does when she gets bored, in an attempt to relieve the lack of excitement and fun. Most of these included wandering around the classrooms durring lessons, talking in the midst of tests, food fights at lunch, being disruptive and or destructive, distracting classmates, having battles of wit and comebacks with teachers, or saying something completely random and off-topic to the nearest person in French.
That days prank had caused her to land in detention yet again, for what was probably the fifth time that week and left her sitting at a desk in the back of an empty classroom excluding the teacher lecturing and rambling aimlessly to Juliet about her disruptive behavior and lack of self control. She knew the pep talk so well now that she silently mocked every word he said, with the same look of stern seriousness they had whenever they spoke to her.
Dully aiming her wand under her desk she pointed it at random objects, muttering "Accio," and making things such as books, quills, bottles of ink, rolls of parchment, and other stuff fly into her opened hand. Spotting a chewed piece of gum on the underside of another desk, Juliet grinned, using her wand to make it lodge itself in the teachers ridiculous comb-over, shaking in a fit of silent giggles as he continued to uneffectively belittle her, completely ignorant to the gum stuck stubbornly in his hideous hair do.
"MISS PRINCE!!!!" he snapped furiously, nostrils flaring, spraying spit all the way from the front of the class to the third row,"have you heard even a word I have said to you?"
"No,"Juliet said carelessly, thoroughly bored and he flared up even more.
"Typical of you isn't it?" he said angrilly,"acting more like your a goddess rather than the intelligent student I know you are. I am seriously ashamed of you. Do you have anything to say for yourself?"
"Quand volonte toi fermer au dessus." Juliet said mischiefously in French, a grin quirking her lips.
"Yes," Juliet said monotonously, her voice dull and lacking it's pep and cheeriness with boredom,"can I use the bathroom?"
Sighing, he finally said exasperatedly, frustrated with her,"Fine, if you are not back within fifteen minutes then the next time I see you I will not let you leave untill you have copied every word of Hogwarts A History."
" Yes sir, " Juliet said, shutting the door behind her. She began making her way expertly down the corridors of Hogwarts, though it was not the bathroom she was headed for, it was the great hall for dinner.
" Yeah right," she said, smirking deviously, when she had walked down two corridors. She walked down three flights of the great staircase, walked down a long hallway, then reached the marble staircase, deciding that walking down them was much too boring. She slid down the railing, when someone, a boy it looked to be or a tall girl, taller than Juliet anyways, stopped infront of the end of her railing, purposefully, blocking her progress, grinning.
"Watch out!" Juliet warned, but it was too late. They hadn't moved in enough time and collided... ((Quand volonte toi fermer au dessus=When will you shut up?))

"Stupid Snape.." Lily mumbled as she stomped out of Professor Snape's office. Though she was angry, she walked out with a fairly calm expression on her face, that is, until she heard the door of Snape's office slam shut behind her, which is when she immediately spun around, and stuck her tongue out, while facing the closed door.
"MS. PRINCE!" She heard Snape's voice bellow from inside his office. "Sorry professor." She said dryly as she began walking away from his office again. "Sheesh, what? Can he see through doors now or something?" Lily asked herself with a slight smirk on her face.
Lily and Snape had never exactly been on the best of terms, today was no exception. See, Lily had not went to bed until about three a.m. in the morning, due to the fact that she was finishing up an essay for another class that she had put off until the last minute, as she usually did. And because of that, she was extremely tired during potions class, and surprise, surprise, she fell asleep.
And Snape's punishment that he gave her, was to clean out all his cauldrons by hand, which was an extremely annoying task, though Lily didn't care much, for she had been put through much worse.
Lily's next destination was dinner, her favorite subject in school. "Hm, I wonder where Juliet is.." Lily asked herself as she walked. She could only assume that her sister was stuck in detention somewhere, Like she usually was.
When Lily reached the grand staircase, she went up a few flights before she reached a marble staircase, she was about to walk down it, until she saw what was happening at the bottom of it, she watched as her sister slid down the banister, about to crash into a tall seventh year boy. How would this turn out?

Juliet screamed as she slid ever faster, at breakneck speed down the railing, trying to stop but she was moving much too fast to stop moving now. Finally she slid off the end of the banister, and she closed her eyes, waiting for the collision.
But it didn't come. After a few minutes she opened her eyes cautiously, to see that her would be victim had caught her before they both fell over. Breathing out a sigh of relief, she waited a few minutes before saying anything at all and then looked up to see her saviour. When she recognized whom it was she gasped.
It was someone, a very particular someone, whom she hadn't seen for at least three years but had missed greatly. Erik Leroux. Her ex-boyfriend from Beaubatons. They had split up before Juliet and her family moved to England, in hopes to make the departure easier, but it hadn't.
Juliet had spent months crying that year and took yhet another year off from dating because of it. They wrote of course but she had never expected to see him again, but she enjoyed it thoroughly.
"Erik!!" Juliet gasped happily, wrapping her arms around his neck and hugging him," what are you doing here, I missed you so much."
"I missed you too." Erik said, giving her a loving grin and she returned it. He swooped down on her suddenly, planting a soft kiss on her cheek and she hugged him again.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"FRED!!" Juliet gasped, shocked, pulling away from Erik quickly, who set her down, perplexed by her sudden withdraweral. She glanced around looking for someone, something to help her out in her confusion at the moment, and spotted her twin sister, "Lily!!"

Lily stood frozen at the top of the staircase as she watched dramatic events unfold before her. Her eyes were closed tightly as she watched her sister slide down the banister, but after waiting a few seconds and not hearing a crash, she opened her eyes again.
She looked down only to see her sister in the arms of the boy she would have crashed into, he must have caught her. A sigh of relief escaped Lily's lips, if the two had collided, it would have ended very, very badly.
Though the boy who had caught her sister did seem oddly familiar, she didn't realize who he was until she heard her sister say his name. "That's Erik? I can't believe it. What in the world is he doing here at Hogwarts?" Lily thought to herself.
Lily obviously knew about the whole situation with Erik and her sister, she remembered how depressed her sister was, at one point, Lily thought she might be like that forever.
Lily was about to walk down the stairs, until she heard the voice of Fred, Juliet's current boyfriend. "Oh no.., this is bad..." Lily said to herself quietly, biting her bottom lip.
When she heard her sister call her name, Lily quickly dashed down the stairs and basically just stood there for a second. "Uh.." She said rather stupidly, unsure what she should say in the situation.

Juliet was flabbergasted, not kowing what to say or do, nor what had she had done to get Fred so upset with her. She had done anything, nothing at all. She gasped as Fred grabbed her fiercely by the wrist, half-dragging her away from Erik, her eyes streaming with pain as he squeezed her hand in his frustration.
"Fred, stop it-please. Your hurting me." she begged wincing, her eyes tear-filled, but she saw no pity or sympathy in his features. He remained as stiff, silent and seething as ever before. If he didn't listen he would be in for trouble because not only did Juliet not let anyone hurt her and get away with it, but she also knew that Erik would put a stop to it if it got out of hand.
"What did you think you were doing, eh?" Fred said harshly, his voice devoid of kindness or sympathy, " Do you think you just have me and every other man around?"
"I swear I wasn't doing anything, please stop it." Juliet begged pleadingly, but he continued to belittle her mercilessly, backing her into the wall and she cowered with every step closer he took to her.
"What-" Fred had started to say but was cut short as Erik pulled him roughly away from Juliet, who ran over to Lily, still crying, and leaning against her sister for support because her legs felt like jelly.
What came next happened so fast that it was a blur.But the last thing Juliet could see was Fred making a run for it, wrenching the entrance doors open and taking off onto the ground, and Erik, unconscious on the cold stone floor.
" ERIK!!" Juliet cried hysterically shocked an apalled, running to his limp form on the ground and kneeling beside him, "Lily come help, we need to get him to Madame Pomphrey."

Lily just watched the events the were taking place in front of her, she wanted to help in some way, but was honestly, completely clueless as to what she should do. It seemed to her, that drama seemed to follow her twin sister around like a dark cloud at times.
While in Lily's case, her life was a little more slow paced and less exciting then her sister's life usually was. But of course, she usually always gets mixed up into the drama of her sisters life, considering they are usually always hanging out together, and Lily is always looking out for her sister.
When Lily noticed how aggressive Fred was being, she really, really wanted to do something to help out her sister, but her legs wouldn't move, it was almost like her feet were glued to the floor or something.
When Juliet ran over to her, Lily put her arm around her sister in an effort to comfort her. She then frowned, she didn't like the way this situation was going.
She quickly let go of her sister as she watched her run over to Erik. Lily gasped. What in the world had Fred done? Had he lost his mind? At this point, Lily was tempted to run after Fred, and smack some sense into him, but she didn't, knowing that Juliet needed her help with Erik, and if she went after Fred, that would only make the current situation worse then it already was.
Lily walked over to her sister and nodded. "Okay, we should probably hurry."

Conjuring a stretcher, Juliet and Lily magicked him onto it and levitated the stretcher bearing Erik unconscious to the hospital wing as quickly as they could, using some of the shortcuts they had found when they were younger and they would explore the castle.
After what seemed like pointless hours of explaining what had happened to Juliet, who had sustained a sprained wrist due to Fred squeezing it so hard and dragging her by the arm, and Erik who was still knocked out cold, even after Pomphrey had healed him, Juliet fell asleep out of stress and exhaustion, her hand clenching Erik's, and her head resting on the side of the hospital bed so that if he woke up she would be the first to know.
At around nine o'clock Erik finally regained conscience, groaning slightly and rustling somewhat. Opening his eyes he observed the hospital wing wondering how he had gotten there in the first place when he noticed something was touching his hand-holding it.
Gingerly rolling onto his side, Erik recognized Juliet's blond head immediately, her hand holding onto his. Loyal to the very end, he thought amusedly to himself. The next thing he noticed was that her hand had been wrapped and his countenance darkened, vowing to himself that as soon as he got better he would punish Fred for hurting her. Whoever he was.
As if alerted by a silent sign, Juliet stirred slightly in her sleep, lifting her head and he brushed a stray blonde hair out of her face, smiling. " Erik...I'm so sorry, I didn't know, I can't believe he did this to you. Please forgive me."
"It's not your fault," Erik said, giving her a weak smile, and she hugged him, gently though, careful of his wounds so he wouldn't get hurt and he stroked her hair soothingly,"I'll give him hell for hurting you though."
Sitting lightly on the edge of his bed, Juliet glanced over at her sister Lily or where she had been. When she remembered something. Lily was supposed to be meeting Gaige and Erik's family to show them how to get to the hospital wing.
She was about to speak again when she heard a tapping onthe window and she turned to see the Weasley's ancient owl Errol. She thrust open the door, taking no abuse of Errol but untying the letter and burning it with magic and tossing Errol an owl treat before he flew out again and she shut the window.
She then regained her spot on the bed, her legs dangling over its side and she spoke quietly to Erik for a few minutes before their conversation was interrupted by a knocking sound on the door. A few moments later the door opened and Lily, Gaige, Erik's parents and his younger brother Jean entered.

Lily tiptoed inside the room, not wanting to disturb Erik, or anyone else in the Hospital wing, if they were sleeping. She looked over at Erik's bed to see him awake, talking with her sister Juliet. She smiled slightly. Lily had loved those two together, she thought of them to be the 'perfect couple', and was honestly upset when they broke up.
Since everything seemed to be okay, she motioned for everyone to come in. Erik's parents dashed over to his bed immediately, but Eriks younger brother Jean however, took his time in getting over to Erik. Jean didn't look good at all, his expression was blank and he just stood there with his arms crossed as he looked down at his brother, he was obviously just very worried.
"Oh! My poor baby!" Eriks mother exclaimed as she sobbed into a tissue she had already had in her hand when she had entered the room. Erik's father sighed and put his arm around his over-emotional wife.
"It's good to see you son." Erik's father stated simply. Lily had met Erik's parents once before, a few years back. Erik's mom tended to be very emotional at times, and very extreme as well, while his father was more laid back. He was a man of few words.
Once Erik's mother had regained her composure she looked down at her son, then over at Juliet. "Juliet!" She exclaimed suddenly. "Oh is that you? My my, you're looking as pretty as ever!" She then pat Juliet on the cheek as if she were a child.
Erik's father sighed and looked over at Juliet, he said nothing, but by the expression on his face, he was obviously embarrassed by his wife's behavior.
After that, there was a bit of awkward silence, until Erik's father finally decided to speak. "..Well dear, let's leave Erik to rest now." Erik's father smiled down at his son, but didn't say anything, he walked toward the door, and motioned for Jean to follow.
Erik's mom hesitated at first but she eventually agreed. "I love you sweetie." She said to her son, tears had begun to form in her eyes, she quickly dashed out of the room after that, wanting to get out before she started to cry again.

"Juliet! Oh is that you? My my, you're looking as pretty as ever!"
" Oh!!" Juliet said rather embaressedly as Mrs. Leroux pinched her cheeks like she was a little girl again, embracing her and she said in a rather bashful voice, casting a sidelong glance at Mr. Leroux, and patting Mrs. Leroux's back comfortingly, "thank-you, Mrs. Leroux, you look just as great as you did the last time I saw you."
"I love you sweetie."
Erik groaned with embaressment and Juliet smirked before bidding his family goodbye, "Aurevoir!! It was good to see you again!!"
The door seemed to have just closed when it, yet again, opened, this time with Gaige Swan, Lily's ex. He looked upset and anxious but his countenance brightened by quite a deal when he noticed Lily.
"Lily, I just found out," he said weakly, pointing to Erik before losing his composure and hugging her.

Lily chuckled after Erik's parents left the room, those two were..very interesting people.., well, maybe interesting was too mild of a word to use to describe them, but it was the only somewhat nice word Lily could think of, other words that came to her mind were such ones as strange, and crazy.
Lily looked over at Erik and Juliet, she opened her mouth to say something, but stopped when she heard the sound of the door opening again. The first guess that came to her mind, was that it was probably one of Erik's family members, coming back because they had possibly forgotten something.
But when she spun around, she saw someone she had doubted she would ever see again, her ex boyfriend Gaige. One minute, he was talking to her, and the next, to her surprise, he was hugging her.
To be polite, she hugged him back, but she was feeling very, very odd at that moment. Mostly because she was now in the Hospital Wing, hugging her ex boyfriend, who she, deep down, still had feelings for, though she was now in a relationship with George Weasley.

"What happened?" Gaige asked, his voice cracking as he hugged Lily, glad for her comfort, and that she was there period. Gaige had practically grown up with Erik and had known him since they were two years old. Erik was his brother from another mother if you will.
Erik, who had lost all interest in talking seeing as how it gave him a severe headache, stopped speaking instead just resting ang and enjoying all their company with his eyes closed, clenching Juliet's hand.
Juliet propped her legs up on the bed and leaned back on the pillow, yawning exhaustedly, but she continued to fight tirelessly at the hectic emotions raging on withinin her, even though on the outside she appeared quite calm, Erik always seemed to have a calming soothing effect on her which was quite something, seeing as how hyper she normally was.
But the events of the day were just too overwhelming and she found her eyes drooping once again and drifting off into a light sleep. It did not last long though. Fifteen minutes at the most. Because then, George burst into the hospital wing, causing her to fall off the bed in shock.
" Get out !!" Juliet screamed furiously at George in rapid-fire French, pointing towards the door, as he began justifying or trying to, Fred's violent behaviour.
" Jul-" but she had already shoved the door on him and locked it. She could hear him kicking the door and screaming about Fred, and then about Lily and Gaige.
Finally after half an hour of angry cursing and kicking, George left defeatedly.
"I am so sick of living under this scrutiny." Juliet sighed exasperatedly.

"Uh.. What happened? To Erik you mean?" Lily then pulled away from Gaige, she was feeling very weird. "Erm.. well.., Juliet was being stupid..." Lily stopped and looked over at her sister with a grin on her face to show her that she was joking, Then she continued on.
"Well yeah, Juliet was being stupid and she slid down the banister on a stair case and was about to crash into Erik but then he caught her, And just so I don't bore you I'll get to the point, Fred saw them, who is Juliet's current boyfriend if you didn't know that already, and he got jealous. Then one thing led to another and he kind of hit Erik and ran off." Lily stopped then took a breath, that was a lot of information to go over.
After that, she kind of just stood there for a bit, waiting to see what Gaige had to say about all this information that she had given him. She was kind of getting bored being in here now, the room was so quiet, that is until she saw George barge in, only to have Juliet kick him out before he could really say anything.
Lily had kind of wanted to talk to him, but at the same she knew that her sister would probably get mad at her if she did.. so she didn't.
((Sorry it's kind of stupid, just wanted to give a shot at posting anyway))

"Erm.. well.., Juliet was being stupid..."
"I was not," Juliet joked back, giving her sister a grin, though displaying her real intelligence at the same time, " You know I have to lower the standards of my brilliant intelligent mind every so often in order to be able to entertain myself with such childish mediocre activities such as sliding down school banisters."
"Well yeah, Juliet was being stupid and she slid down the banister on a stair case and was about to crash into Erik but then he caught her, And just so I don't bore you I'll get to the point, Fred saw them, who is Juliet's current boyfriend if you didn't know that already, and he got jealous. Then one thing led to another and he kind of hit Erik and ran off."
Gaige flared with anger, and it showed in his body language, but his expression softened sufficiently when he looked at Lily. He bit his lip uncomfortably, feeling weak and inferior. Erik had been closer than brother to him, having grown up with him all his life. He didn't exactly know what to say to such an overload of information so he instead nodded his head.
Walking over to Erik's bedside he greeted him with a faulty smile and regained his compsure asking Erik quietly, "How do you feel?"
"Tres magnifique." said Erik sarcastically, but giving his friend a small grin to show him that he was only joking and Gaige laughed quietly.
"Lily, are you okay?" Juliet asked, climbing off the hospital bed and walking over to her sister, placing a comforting arm around her sisters shoulder and gaige looked over, wishing he was in Juliet's place."

Lily watched as Gaige walked over to Erik, a part of her was glad for that, while another part of her was not. She was glad because he was now focusing his attention on someone other then herself, but at the same time she wanted to be around him, Oh this all was just too confusing for her.
It was very hard for Lily once Gaige was out of her life, but like other people often do, she got over it, for the most part anyway. And when she met George, she quickly developed a crush on him, and when they had begun dating, she thought there was no way in the world she could feel any happier.
But then, Gaige came back. And all of those feelings she once had for him had begun to return, though her feelings for George still remained. She was confused, lost. Why did Gaige have to come back and turn her world upside down? Why couldn't she forget the feelings she had, and still has for him? Probably because he was her first love.
Lily looked over at her sister, her expression was blank for a second, before she finally registered that she had asked her something, and Lily answered with a shake of her head. "I don't know." She said quietly.

"Well maybe a nights good sleep will help you feel better," Juliet said, giving her sister an encouraging smile. She gave Erik and Gaige a hug before bidding them goodnight and walked back to the Gryffindor common room with Lily, where she collapsed on a couch, falling asleep immediately, too tired to walk up to the girls dorm.
The next morning she was shaken awake by a certain red-headed someone. Groaning, Juliet ignored it, attempting to get back to sleep but they retaliated, sking her again. Finally, she sighed reignedly and opened her eyes and falling off the couch with shock, shrieking with surprise and rage.
"Calm down," Fred said soothingly, but Juliet siezed her wand from the table, snatching it up and holding it aloft like a weapon, aiming it at Fred's chest, screaming, " What on earth were you doing? Get out, get away, I don't want to talk to you."
" Please-"Fred pleaded but she showed no expression. " Get away from me."
Fred watched her blankly for five minutes before exiting the common room, furious.
"Lily!!" Juliet called, running up the stairs to the girls dormitory.
