"Lily, darling, it's those boys again! Can you tell them off? It always works with you." Molly gave Lil y a warm smile before tottering over the Architecture section to shelf books.

Christ, it's them again. When will they even stop tormenting her? If she were wiser, she would have reported this as stalking.

Storming over to the source of the noise, Lily tried to compose herself before facing the group of boys who have been gracing their loud presence in the local library for the past two weeks.

"Lillian!" Sirius Black greeted her with a booming voice.

"If you're here to harass me again, then I have to politely ask you to leave." Lily crossed her arms before her.

"We were just accompanying Remus here to read some books!" James Potter gave her a wide grin, pulling Remus along whowas clearly forced to come.

"Sure." she rolled her eyes at them.

"So," James leaned on the desk, facing towards her, "Les Miserables showing tonight."

"I know."

"Care to watch it with me?"

"I already have tickets for it."

"I know." James smirked, "And you only bought one with no one to go with."

"Y-You-!" Lily didn't know how to feel. It was creepy that James somehow knew that she only bought one, but it would really be lonely to watch Les Miserables alone.

"So, will I see you there?"

"No." Lily turned her back to him to go back to shelving, biting her lips down to keep a smile from her face.


"That was totally a yes." James pompously grinned, looking back to Remus and Sirius.

"It totally was not!" Remus argued.

"Good man, James!" Sirius clapped James on the back in triumph.
