"Hey, Evans," a messy haired boy called across the crowded common room to a pretty redhead seated next to the fire. "Fancy Hogsmeade this Saturday?"
"Sure, Potter, as long as it's not with you and your fat head," the girl replied easily, used to the routine, and not even looking up from her book to see who had spoken. She knew anyway. She was becoming too lazy to think of witty retorts after five years, so settled with just wounding his overlarge ego.
"Awh, come on, you know you want to. I can tell you love me really," he teased, desperately trying to annoy her so she would get angry at him. It worked, just like he knew it would.
Lily jumped out of her comfortable arm chair. "Love you? You think I secretly love you?" she snorted derisively. "Get off your high horse, Potter, I can promise you that I am harbouring no secret desires for you, other than the desire to take you into Moaning Myrtle's bathroom and –"
"Take me in there and Myrtle won't be the only one moaning," James interjected cheekily.
Lily made no comment but her eyes flashed dangerously. "– drown you and your overlarge ego in a toilet. A sink would work, actually - I'm not fussy!" Her fists clenched tightly at her sides.
"Ooh, feisty, Evans! I like that!" James smirked. Sirius laughed, egging him on. "So, is that a yes for Hogsmeade?" His smirk was promptly ruined by a book being thrown, very hard, at his face.
"Ow! James clutched at his bleeding nose. "Ow! She broke by nobe!"
"Don't ask me out again, Potter, and your precious nose will be safe." Lily walked calmly over to him, pointing her wand at his bloody face.
"Dob't hurt be!" he whimpered.
"Shut up and move your hand so I can fix your nose. Quickly, or I might reconsider and let you bleed to death," Lily instructed. James reluctantly lowered his hands to his sides, and allowed Lily access to his disfigured nose.
She tapped her wand sharply towards it, "Episky!" James immediately felt all of the cartilage knit itself back together, leaving no trace of any injury aside from the blood trail down James' shirt. "Scourgify!" OK, no trace at all.
"Um, thanks?" James offered timidly. Lily nodded curtly, and went back to reading her book like nothing had happened.
