"Oh my god, James." Exclaimed seventeen year old Lily Evans as she turned a corner in the Library. She had been looking down at a book, when she looked up to make sure she wasn't going to hit anything. To her surprise, James Potter was sanding there. Where a second ago, he wasn't. That was one his more mysterious tricks. Always appearing when he wasn't a second ago. "Don't do that!"
"Aw, why not Lily flower?" James asked, knowing that Lily would get very annoyed at being called 'Lily Flower'. She always hated the pet names he called her.
"How many times have I told you," She said and placed the book back on its shelf. "Don't call me that". Just then the bell rang. "I have to get to Muggle Studies" she told him and left him standing there.
"Why do you even take that class" James called after he and rushed to keep up. "I mean, after all, your muggle-born. Why do you need to learn about them?"
"Its nice to learn about them from another persons perspective." Lily told him and rounded a sharp corner. She spotted suddenly and rounded on him, causing him to walk strain into her. "This is where I leave you." she said and entered the small room that Muggle Studies was taught in. Lily walking to the front of the room and sat down in her seat.
'I think I can miss one Potions class' James thought and walked in after her. He looked around the room and noticed that every seat was taken except the one next to Lily. He grinned to himself then walked up the isle to the vacant seat. "Hello, Lilykins." James smiled as she looked around to see who had sat down.
Lily opened her mouth to speak, but the teacher called the class to attention. All she could do was shoot him and annoyed look and start listening to the teacher. "OK, OK. Class. Settle down." Mrs. Dayion called and nestled herself in the comfortable looking teachers char at the front of the room. "Seeing as it is almost Christmas time, it is nearly time for our class project". Almost everyone was now paying attention (The excepting, of course, was James. Who was twiddling his thumbs and staring at Lily). This was because Mrs.Dayions projects were almost always a lot of fun. "For this project, you will be takening care of a baby doll". At these words everyone, except Lily, was no longer paying attention. This was NOT what they expected.
"The person you are sitting next to now," She continued "will be your project parner". Everyone looked to their parner and nodded their head once. They were all satisfied with their partners, excepts for Lily. A groan escaped her lips, as a delighted smile appeared across James'. The teacher continued to explain about how the project would last a week and when into details about the proper way to care for the dolls. All through the rest of the class, Lily was not paying attention to what Mrs. Dayion said. Something very unlike her, something must be wrong.
