The 7th year student Remus Lupin watched as James and his ex-girlfriend Ms. Casey Wind trotted down the hall hand in hand. He had to feel happy for his best friend, but he really still hadn't gotten over his relationship. or crush on Casey Wind since the 6th year.

He stared as they disappeared around the corner not even noticing he was there. The only person that hated James, and Casey Wind together more then him was Lily Evans.

She had been dating James, but something happen between them, and it was over within two seconds.

Right at that thought the red head Lily appeared in the hallway, her nose buried deep in a book. She brushed past James as fast as she could, not even glancing at him.

Lily felt a surge of rage run up her spine.

Just a month ago James had told her he loved her, and no one else. Her face was already flushed from running through the chilling snow outside. It was December now the normal Yule ball was coming up in two weeks.

If Remus had looked any closer, he was sure he saw tears welling up in her eyes. He stepped out from behind the corner so he was in the way of her.

"Hey Lilz" He said simply.

'Lilz' was the name James used to call her, but she was determined not to lose anymore friends from the jerk.

"Hey..." She said trying to avoid his eyes.

She dropped her book to the ground and reached down to pick it up, but Remus beat her. He grabbed it quickly. The book was called: 'Advanced book of Charms 3'

'Predictable Lily's always the smartest in that class...' He thought to himself.

"Thanks, I have to go now, see you at lunch." Lily blurted out.

"Hey Lilz if you need anything ask ok?" He said as she walked away.

She just walked faster and muttered "Thanks." Or what it sounded like.

Tears streamed down her face. How, or what happen that made James ignore her like that? She also disappeared from view for a moment. There was a loud thunk followed by some yells. Remus turned over the corner to see what the commotion was. There stood Malfoy, Snape, and one or two other boys following.

"What have we here." Snape sneered at Lily which was now reaching down to pick up her book, but Malfoy got in her way.

"Another disgusting mud-blood" Malfoy screeched kicking the book out of her reach.

The boys behind them snickered. Lily felt pissed to no end, she couldn't even walk around the halls anymore without being harassed about her parentage.

"Leave her alone." A voice rung from behind Snape.

Lily couldn't see who it was.

"What's it to you wolf boy." The boy next to Malfoy yelled throwing her book back so hard it hurt.

'Wolf boy that has to be Remus(for him being a werewolf and all)...what is he thinking?' Lily thought to herself as now all the boys turned on Remus.

Lily withdrew her wand, and muttered a few spells at Malfoy and Snape. They were lifted into the air, and sent flying across the room. Remus now stared at Lily like she killed someone.

"Lets go." Remus said extending a hand out to Lily.

She took it, as he helped her up. Snape, and Malfoy were both attached to the roof.

"What was that spell?" Remus asked when they were out of ear shot.

"It was a charm I was just reading in my book, it was about reversing the gravity." Lily answered fixing up her charms book.

They arrived outside the great hall, where most of the students were already there for dinner. The enchanted skyline was now purple with sun shinning in over the corners. People needed it because of the cold weather.

Lily walked over to were she normally sits. She would be next to her best friend Maya, but Maya was to busy sitting on Sirius lap. They hooked up from the Yule ball, which lead to Lily sitting alone. James, and Casey Wind were over there as usual. Then across from her Remus sat.

"Ignore Malfoy-"Remus started but was interrupted.

"I wish them two over there would stop sucking up to each other-" She inclined toward Sirius and Maya. "Which always leaves me sitting alone." -again- She mentally added.

Dumbledore stood up and the hall went silent.

"As you may, or may not know, the Yule ball is coming up fast. It will be held Christmas day from 5 until 1 o' clock." He muttered a few words, and the golden plates filled up with food.

There was no more talking from Lily except for some death glaring stares from Malfoy, and Snape. Also some get-away-from-me-you-jerk stares over at James.

"So Lily who are you going with to the Yule ball?" Remus said trying to talk to someone except Peter.

"No one, I'm probably not going. The only things I'll see there will make me sick." She answered in a matter-of-factly tone.

"Your still not over James yet are you..." Remus slipped saying something he really shouldn't have.

Lily jumped up from her seat and yelled. "If you think I ever liked that stag donkey jerk you really should rethink!"

The whole hall was staring at her as she stormed out of there. All the other tables glanced at Remus with that what-did-you-do-to-that-poor-girl-you-jerk stares. James didn't seem like he cared though.
