A/N: My Marauders Era obsession furthers with a whole new project! I'm planning on this being a multi-chap with many short snippets of Lily and James' time at Hogwarts. This was inspired by and written for the Marauders Era Challenge Prompts on HPFC. Enjoy!

An Annoyance in the Great Hall

Prompt(s): Chocolate Frog


"Hello there!" A tall, messy haired boy slid into the seat next to Lily Evans. She had just been chatting with Marlene McKinnon, who sat across from her in the great hall.

"Hello, James," Lily said with a sour expression as she evaluated the young boy next to her. She looked to Marlene, who had a similar look of irritation on her face after the middle of their conversation was interrupted. "Can I help you with something?" Lily asked.

James smirked confidently, "I was just wondering if you'd help me with my potions homework."

Lily sneered at the young boy next to her, "You want help with Potions?"

"Yeah," James kept his charming grin, "I'll give you a chocolate frog." The messy haired wizard pulled one of the candies from his robes.

Lily gave him a look of disbelief and shook her head, "First of all, I don't want your stupid Chocolate Frog!"

"It's not stupid, Chocolate Frogs are the best thing ever inverted in the history of the universe!" James interrupted.

"Don't interrupt me, Potter. Anyways, why can't Remus help you? He's good at potions. And also, why would I ever help you? We're not friends! For the past four years that we've been in school together, we've hated eachother!"

"I've never hated you! It's you that hates me! And I didn't do anything wrong," James defended himself.

"Well maybe I hate you because you're such a bully!" Lily was getting rather outraged now.

"Oh, is this about Snivellus? I only hex him because he's a git." James said nonchalantly.

Lily sneered, remembering all those times James had mercilessly bullied Severus. It never mattered what Lily said before, she couldn't stop him from hurting her friend. It was a well known fact throughout all the other fourth years that Lily and Severus were mortal enemies of James. "Sod off, Potter." Lily finally said with a frustrated fury in her green eyes.

"Come on, Evans! You're so good at potions!" James pleaded.

"Oi, Prongs!" A male voice came from behind the two of them.

Sirius Black was entering the Great Hall, and heading towards the arguing pair of fourth years. Lily noticed that he seemed to be holding something, hidden in his Hogwarts robes.

"Padfoot, can't you see I'm busy?" James tried to subtly motion towards Lily.

"Hello, Evans," Sirius greeted the girl with a quick nod before returning his attention back to James, "Prongs, I stole some Forgetfulness Potion from Slughorn! We're going to have some fun tonight!" He raised a little vial in his hands, staring at it like it was the most spectacular thing in the world.

James cracked a wicked smirk and hopped up from the bench, "We've got some planning to do," He said excitedly to Sirius, "Bye, Evans!" He yelled back to the young witch while he raced off with his friend.

Lily rolled her eyes and turned back to Marlene, "They're so annoying, that lot. Potter and the boys..." She trailed off with a angry frown on her face.

Marlene just sat across the table, smirking as if she knew something Lily didn't.
