Hey everyone!

So, I was thinking last night while in my comfy cozy bed, that I have not (for a while at least) felt the rush and excitment of starting a new story. With my nature and all I'm just too lazy and cannot be bothered to come up with a completely orginial idea (not yet, anyways) and seem to be stuck in a corner with KK,BB, I figured I would write a continuation of "Maybe", which has aways been very near and dear to me. And now, two days later, HERE IT IS! Please enjoy!

Incase you don't remember, for the note passing Sirius is bold, James is plain, Remus is bold italics and Peter is italics. The only exception in this chapter is at one point, James' writing is underlined, so you don't confuse it with me being stupid with formating errors!

Prickish

"Do you want to study with me at lunch?"

"No."

Lily was taken aback and her eyes narrowed at James. "You are aware that you just turned me down in a rather harsh manner?"

Marlene nodded, her eyes wide. She knew what Lily could do when turned down in such a way.

James looked up from the Daily Prophet. "I'm sorry, but I promised that I would be with Sirius today, he's been kind of down since what's-her-face left him."

Lily continued to glare at him. "You are aware that he left her and that Sirius Black is never 'down' when he leaves a girl."

"I don't know, Lily. " James sighed in frustration. "He was kinda attached to this one. I swear I almost saw him frown."

"Well then by all means!" Lily stood up grabbing a scone. "You should tend to your ever needy best friend!" And she left in a fury.

Marlene stayed where she was and sadly shook her head at James. "You're going to regret you ever said that, James. She's one to hold a grudge."

"It's for her own good, I promise Marlene. Just make sure she doesn't get too mad?" James said

"That was a prickish thing to say you… you prick!" Marlene said, following Lily's fashion of exiting.

James sighed and turned back to the Prophet when Sirius sat down across from him.

"There were two very angry ladies I just passed in the hall, I have a feeling it can be traced back to you."

"I had to blow off Lily today…"

Sirius whistled. "Again? This is not good for your future plan. Are you sure you need to keep doing this?"

"Yes. I need time to plan and execute. Therefore, my Lily Time has to be cut."

Remus sat next to him. "What about your Qudditich time? Practicing two hours a day can surely be cut down for some Lily Time?"

Did you hear what Mooney said this morning?

No…

He said that Lily was more important than Qudditich.

Well, she should be. She is your girlfriend Prongs.

Thank you Wormtail, at least you are someone with your priorities in ORDER.

Coming from non-Qudditich players Prongs, calm down.

I just don't understand how you can't grasp that girls come and go, but Qudditich, that's something that will never leave.

AAAnd we've lost him.

Do you think we'll get him back before the end of the class?

There is a very small chance.

"He's such a prick!"

"Yes, Marlene, you've said that already. I think we need to find a new name for Potter."

Marlene stopped copying notes from Lily and stared. "You are aware that you just -"

"Relapsed into last year? Yes, I have been toying with the idea for a few weeks now, ever since he started skiving me off…"

"He told me to not let you get too mad."

"I'm past mad now, Marlene."

"Oh, no, you're not!"

"Yes," Lily said, mindlessly copying down what Professor Binns was saying. "I am indifferent."

"That's a little bit prickish, don't you think? I mean he does deserve a lot of what you give him, but indifference?"

"Do not ask me to reconsider, I no longer care."

"Being an emotionless prick doesn't really suit you," Marlene sighed.

"And you being my friend doesn't really suit me, but I'm being a big girl and I put up with it."

Marlene shook her head. "That is not being indifferent, Lily! That is a very active stance in hating me."

"I'm not being indifferent with you, but with him."

"And just when you think that you can't get any lower then Potter."

A piece of paper hit Marlene in the back of the head.

Is she really upset?

Marlene glared at James and nodded. He frowned, wrote something else and threw it to her.

Are you really upset?

Marlene rolled her eyes and nodded. James bit his lip and shrugged.

She's mad… that means Lily's mad

Really? I think Lily will take the high road and forgive you, like she's done for the last few weeks.

Oh Merlin, she's going to leave me.

Prongs, lighten up. Lily is a one-of-a-kind girl, she's not going to leave you because you're ditching her.

Oh Merlin, she's going to leave me.

Just be extra nice when you do spend time with her.

I'm always extra nice to her.

"Umm sorry Lily, I umm can't study with you duuhh I have to wank off."

I did not say that.

That's what she thinks you're doing.

That or you're shagging someone else.

Lily and I are not shagging in the first place…

Well that confirms everything, you're getting some on the side.

I never took you for that type of person… I have to say, Prongs, I lost a little bit of respect for you there…

I am not cheating on Lily. I love her.

I'm sorry, I thought I heard you say that you loved her?

I did.

And you're not shagging her in the Library because you love her…

Yes… No… We wouldn't be shagging in the Library.

Of course not, just snogging like there is no tomorrow.

Oh Merlin she's going to leave me.

No, she'll just find someone that will satisfy her every craving.

Lily doesn't have cravings, does she?

Of course she does, she's a woman. All women have cravings.

My mum craves pickles when it's raining.

See? Wormtail's mum has cravings, so Lily is bound to have them.

These cravings have never been brought up before.

Because you were satisfying them. Now… well now you're a little lax.

She's going to have to find someone else.

"NO LILY DON'T"

Lily turned around to see James standing up with a terrified look in his eyes.

"Don't do what, pray tell?"

"Don't…" He looked around for help from Sirius or Remus, but both hid their faces and couldn't help their shoulders from shaking with laughter. "Don't… ever change!"

Lily rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to Professor Binns, whose lecture never faltered.

I hate you all.

Why? We weren't the ones who told you to make a fool out of yourself.

You could have helped me out.

Sorry, Prongs. We needed to let you fly solo on that one.

We couldn't mess up a perfectly good opportunity for you to make an arse out of yourself.

You are pricks, all of you, and what you did was prickish.

Such a stunning variety of vocabulary from our resident Head Boy.

And such a stunning use of indifference from our resident Head Girl. Did you see how she didn't even care?

I'm trying not to think about it.

Indifference is worse then anger. She was indifferent last year… oh Merlin, she's going to leave you.

James threw his head down on the table.
