Ahhhhh I can never find it in myself to finish a fanfic! Maybe it's due to the fact that I don't get motivation from any of y'all too! We'll have fun reading this haha

*morning after the "incident"*

"We totally screwed up didn't we?" James Potter asked his best mates as he grumpily attacked his breakfast bread with a butter knife.

Sirius Black, in an attempt to get James to snap out of the miserable funk he'd been in all morning, grabbed the butter knife and threw it across the table.

"YES WE SCREWED UP AND YES SHE HATES US BUT STABBING AN INNOCENT PIECE OF BREAD ISNT GOING TO HELP US PRONGS" he roared out as he helped himself to a glass of orange juice.

Remus being the quiet observant one chuckled at his friends over dramatic analyzation of the situation.

Yes, they'd ended a long friendship between Lily and Snape, but everyone saw it coming. Two people from different houses, specially Griffindor and Slytherin, had no chance of keeping a life long friendship this time around.

He was about to intervene at the clearly inclining argument between James and Sirius when he caught the scent of a certain red head walking towards them.

It took two second for James and Sirius to stop their arguments as they too felt Lily's presence heading their way.

Lily walked confidently towards her usual spot near Mary and Marlene but one look at her eyes and you'd know Lily wasn't okay.

Her usual bright green almond eyes were puffy and red. Clear evidence of her crying her eyes out the previous night.

If anyone noticed, they didn't comment on it. The opposite actually, they treated her completely normal. Word had gotten around to the events of yesterday and no one could find it in themselves to bring up the event to the sullen redhead.

Everyone except the Slytherin, whom laughed at her distraught state. Something the Gryffindors glared at.

As breakfast went on in a tense atmosphere, Lily seemed determined to end it once and for all.

She stood up and walker towards the Mauraders, something everyone observed.

She reached them and she asked

"Potter can I talk you for a second?" She said as she motioned her head towards the exit of the Great Hall.

James looked undoubtedly stumped but nodded and stood up immediately and followed Lily out.

Remus and Sirius observed the whole encounter and each had an curiouslook on their face as they turned their attention back to their breakfast.

But neither had a look of pure hatredas certain Slytherin did,as he watched the girl he loved walk away with the guy he hated.

*once outside Great Hall*

James fidgeted as he observed the girl he was head over heels for pacing back and forth deciding how she should approach the situation.

Eventually she decided to go with her gut and turned her attention on James, who had been observing her intently.

Lily ran a hand through her hair, something she hadn't planned on doing and she caught the pleased look on James face she couldn't help herself from blushing in embarrassment.

She cleared her threat and started.

"Listen I won't stand here and say that what you did yesterday wasn't foolish and comepltely below anything you'd pull before, but I don't blame you"

She made eye contact with James for a second to make sure he was paying attention and was glad to find that he was.

So she continued

"Mary told me how Sev-Snape instigated the argument and attacked you when you weren't facing him. I can't say I'm surprised he'd been going down the twisted road I know he's in and ugh enough about him. I just wanted to thank you for finally showing me
/the kind of person I knew he was but refused to accept. It was time I cut things with him either way, with the way the war is unraveling lately, it's better it was sooner than later. So thanks Potter" she finished in one whole breath, panting as she
/recovered some air.

She waited for James to comment or say anything really at this point and when he stood there looking gobbsmacked she turned around and began walking towards her first class of the day, determined to run away from this embarrassing encounter.

But just as she took a couple steps a hand spun her by the shoulders and she was shocked to find James gazing at her with such a rare intensity in his eyes.

"Lily I was a damn prat we both know it. I never meant for you to get hurt, specially not by him. I'm sorry he called you what he did. If I could go back in time I would fix all of this from happening." He said ina voice that sounded so sincere that Lily
/couldn't stop herself from believing.

She gave him a small smile and said

"Thanks Potter, you're not so bad. You know when you're not trying to be a prat" she said with twinkle in her eyes.

James being glad he got a positive emotion out of her gave her a huge smile and said

"Nicest compliment you've ever given me Evans, might want to stop that or else I'll really never stop fawning over you"

She rolled her eyes in a playful matter and said

"Wouldn't want that now would we"

Before James could react to what was the first friendly conversation with Lily, she spun around and walked towards Potions.

Short and brief I know. Maybe if I get some favs or reviews I'll post the next chapter by tomorrow.
