"Leave him alone."

"If you'll go out with me, Evans," he said quickly. "Go on….Go out with me, and I'll never lay a wand on old Snivelly again."

"Hah! I wouldn't go out with you if it was a choice between you and the giant squid," Lily said. Then Snape directed his wand straight at James; James's robes splattered with blood. He then whirled around and turned Snape upside down his robes falling over his head to reveal his chicken like legs and a pair of fading knickers.

"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" she shouted. She had her wand out now. James and Sirius eyed it cautiously.

"Ah, Evans, don't make me hex you," said James.

"Take the curse off of him then!"

James sighed and countercursed him. "There you go, you're lucky Evans was here, Snivellus-"

"I don't need help from filthy Mudbloods like her!" he said

Lily felt her eyes burning, "Fine, I won't bother in the future. And I'd wash your pants if I were you, Snivellus."

"Apologize to Evans!" James demanded pointing his wand at Snape.

"I don't want you to make him apologize; you're as bad as he is."

"What?!!! I'd Never call you a- you know what!"

"Messing up your hair because you think it looks cool to look like you've just got off your broomstick, showing off that stupid Snitch, walking down the corridors and hexing anyone who annoys you just because you can- I'm surprised your broomstick can get off the ground with that fat head on it. You make me SICK." She turned and as she heard the echoes of James voice in the background.

James watched Lily ignore him as she disappeared in the mist of the lake. He turned around as he shook his head out of amazement. "What is it with her?" he asked trying to make it look like it wasn't a big deal. But it obviously wasn't working.

"Reading between the lines, I'd say she thinks your conceited mate," replied Sirius who was leaning against of a tree as he winked at a 3rd year Hufflepuff. Remus got up from reading his book, "Don't worry about it mate, she'll come around. Come on lets head in." He punched James lightly on the shoulder and walked into the castle.

Lily stormed into her dormitory and slammed the door behind her, Startling Cecile and So-Young two of Lily's many friends at Hogwarts. "He's such a little bloody idiot?"

"Who?" asked So-Young with a heavy Korean accent.

"Do you have to ask?" said Cecile.

"Oh... James?" Lily's jaw shifted to the side answering the question.

"Yeah, 'Oh…' God, for how smart you are you're just as dense" So-Young's jaw dropped and she grabbed her pillow and attacked Cecile as she laughed. Lily shook her head and walked out; she was outside the doors of the Great Hall when she ran head into James. Both fell back, James got up and held a hand out towards Lily to help her up. She looked at it disgustingly and got up on her own. "Come off it Evans. You can't hate me forever…" he said gently, yet impatiently.

"Really? I Intended on doing just that…" she retorted as she walked into the Great Hall with James following behind her. She waved to Amos Diggory, and continued walking towards her friends. "Oh, come on….." James said desperately. Lily whipped around smacking James in the face with her deep red hair. "How about this? You stop being suck an immature little twit then I'll think about it." She said with vigor. "I'm sorry you're going to have to define that for me." Replied James…

"AHHHHHH….." she screamed as she stormed off towards her friends.

He watched Lily go off; he turned to see his friends look at him sympathetically. "James, my friend, don't you think you should give up?" asked Peter.

"Oy! Shut up!" said Sirius and Lupin as they slapped him upside the head. Peter instantly hunched back over his food. James sat down beside Sirius and began pouring himself pumpkin juice, and started drinking as he stared at Lily down the table. He then thought, "Will she ever like me?"
