"Evans! Hey Evans!"

Lily Evans spun around, her flame like hair whipping her face. "What Potter?" She was answered with a pie in the face.

"Ha!" James shouted. His best friends Sirius, Remus and Peter were also laughing.

"What the hell was that for?" Lily was furious; she only had ten minutes before she had to meet Severus.

"Well, for fun really" Sirius retorted. Lily was almost in tears, she hated being covered in dirt.

James seemed to of noticed her annoyance. "Well marauders I think it's time to get to Hogsmeade."

The four friends huddled together. "What are you doing Prongs, she'll never notice you if you don't talk to her." Peter was trying to help.

"There's a difference between talking and throwing things." Replied Remus thoughtfully.

"Well at least Snivellus will have to wait for her longer. Maybe he'll give up." Sirius was also trying to help but at no avail.

James looked up but Lily was nowhere to be seen. "Maybe he'll be so mad he won't talk to her anymore."

Lily looked back around the corner. "You don't own me Potter. I'll talk to whoever I want to." Four of her closest mates also walked out.

"Wow we're really scared, five girls against the marauders." Sirius looked pleased with himself. Suddenly hundreds of litres of stinksap flew at the boys, drenching them in the smelly liquid.

"Well, well what's going on here? The Slytherin prefect asked obviously delighted to find nine students in trouble.

"I will deal with it Holly thank you" Worse than Holly Green was Professor Dumbledore. "Who is responsible for this mess?" He was referring to the hallway that was covered in stinksap. All nine students pointed at each other.

"Well sir it was us that threw the stinksap but Potter threw a pie at me first." Lily explained.

"Well, that makes everything much easier. Evans and Potter you will clean this hallway instead of going to Hogsmeade The rest of you can go."

The other seven looked mournfully at their respective friend and walked away. "Now you two I'm very disappointed in you. I would have expected more from head boy and girl." Dumbledore walked out into the great hall, his robes billowing behind him.

"Sorry Lily, I didn't mean for this to happen…"

"What for you to get detention."

"No, for you to be stuck inside. True I didn't want you to go out with Snivellus but I didn't want you to have to be stuck with me when you hate me."

"I don't hate you, you're just immature sometimes. Like today for instance what would it have taken for you to just leave me alone?" Lily asked.

"You wouldn't notice me otherwise" James said as if it were a world wide fact.

"I'd still notice you." Lily murmured.

"What was that?" James was smiling; he'd heard every word.

"I said you're good at quidditch so I would notice you."

"You know what I mean. I know you don't like me that way but just to clarify I know I don't own you, and I, I, I…"

"Yes…"Lily was hanging on his every word.

"I want you to be happy so if you want me to leave you alone I will."

Was James actually saying these things? Did she want him to leave her alone?

"I don't want you to leave me alone; I just want you to…" James closed the gap between the two teenagers. His lips lightly touched Lily's.

"Kiss me." Lily completed her sentence breathlessly. "Wow."

Smiling and holding hands, the couple cleaned the hallway not even noticing Professor Dumbledore behind the curtain.

"How adorable" The portrait of Armando Dippet was clapping.

"A complete misuse of school time" Nigellus Black's portrait said bitterly.

"I'm glad you saw that Albus. Maybe I ought to show Harry one day." Minerva said.

Albus Dumbledore then piped up with, "Did you see what I was trying to tell you? About the whole Potter and Redhead complex."

"No, not really. I can't see what this is to do with Albus and Willow."

"Top shelf third bottle along."

"Another memory?"

"Why not?"

Everyone turned towards the screen for the next part of the story.
