Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter


The godforsaken was thankfully over. The train would leave tomorrow and Lily would be first to board it and the first to get off it. Three weeks ago she had lost her best friend and she had put all her energy into her OWLs. She just finished returning all her books to the library and was now walking back to the common room, when she heard.

"Evans, Evans wait up." Lily sighed looked up and took a deep breath and kept walking. She was in no mood to deal with James Potter. "Evans, please wait." He eventually caught up with her.

She crossed her arms in front of her, "What do you want Potter?" she asked. "I have no energy to entertain you."

Potter's head dropped his slightly, "I'm not going to ask you out. I just wanted to say I'm sorry."

Lily gave off something between a chuckle and a scoff, "What are you sorry about, Potter?"

"If I hadn't pranked Snivellus, I mean Snape, then he wouldn't have called you a -," he cutoff unable to say the slur that Snape had called her. A disgusted look crossed his face and he tried again, "he wouldn't have called you that –" Potter huffed and ran his hand through his unruly hair. "What I'm trying to say I'm sorry that Snape and you are no longer friends."

Lily looked at Potter. Potter was proud; it was his greatest asset and his fatal flaw, but it wasn't the reason he was apologizing and Lily was grateful for it. "Potter you may be many things, but you are not the reason Snape and I are no longer friends. Snape are I are no longer friends because of his choices. You did not make him do anything. He called me a Mudblood," Potter flinched, "of his own volition."

"But he would have never called you that if I hadn't been bothering him." Potter argued.

"Or he would have called it me later at some point behind my back. If he hadn't already. You have nothing to be sorry for other than bullying another individual." Lily responded.

"He deserved it." Potter said unable to keep the anger at Snape out of his voice.

"Even if that was the case, what was point other than amusing yourself?" Lily replied. Potter didn't respond. She smiled and said, "Have a good summer Potter."
