Lily sat down at the first available table that she could find, she practically threw her things at the table.

"Whoa! I know you're angry but no need to take it out on the furniture." Arianna said, looking around to make sure no one saw.

"I have feelings to you know, I'm not just some ice queen that walks these halls and feels nothing." Lily whispered.

"I know." Arianna said, sensing her friends' breakdown.

"Why does he always have to be such a prat? Couldn't he take the day off, give people a break? Doesn't he even realize that he is making people's lives hell. That some of the first years cant even sleep for fear that he is going to curse them?" Lily said, whispering and pacing.

"I know." Arianna said, sitting down. This was going to take a minute.

"And really, what's with his hair? Does he not own a hair brush? Or does he truly believe that girls just like it completely messed up like he had just gotten off a broom? Rubbish!" Lily said, sitting across from her friend.

"Feel better?" Arianna asked, smiling.

"Much." Lily said, sitting the for a while longer, trying to get her breathing under control.

Lily went in search for a good read, while Arianna copied Lily's Charm notes.

Lily ran into something soft and squishy when she was strolling up the isles.

She looked up at the face of her worst nightmares.

James Potter.

"Damn it! Why are you following me?" Lily asked, groaned, picking up the three books that she had already found, off the floor.

"I'm not following you, you're the one that ran into me. I never knew you were blind, but hey, you learn something new every day." James said, frowning down at her.

Lily wasn't short, not in girl standards, her five foot eight inches was a nice advantage, but James almost towered over her. She estimated that he was about six foot two, she vowed to wear the high heels that her mother had made her buy, the next time she knew there would be a confrontation with him.

"I guess you do." Lily said, before side stepping him and continuing down the isle.

James stared after her, enjoying the view. He couldn't help but notice how when she's angry she swings her hips a little more than normal.

James wondered around the Potion section, trying to help Remus find his book, but his concentration had been broke, and he couldn't even remember the title of the book he was looking for.

James frowned. Something odd had happened when she ran into him. His heart felt like it hit the floor, and then came bouncing back up again. Odd sensation.

"Remus, what am I looking for again?" James yelled.

Remus appeared to his right, shaking his head.

"Just go sit down." He said, annoyed.

James went and sat by Sirius, who was trying desperately to finish his Defense Against the Dark Arts essay that was due in an hour.

"I told you I would help you with that." James said, frowning.

"I know, I just didn't want to do it. Now I don't have a choice." Sirius said, not even looking up from his writing.

James watched his friend squiggle quickly onto the parchment, and he let his thoughts wonder to a certain red head.

He watched her as she walked back to the table that Arianna was sitting at, with a look of utter bewilderment on her face.

He wished he could hear what she was saying.

"Please tell me that's not another history book, because if it is I am going to lock you in a broom closet and never let you out. No more books for you." Arianna said, smiling up at her friends excited face.

"No… okay, fine it's a history book, but its about the founders of Hogwarts, its one I've never seen before. It should be an interesting read." Lily said, excitedly.

"I love you, but you really need some mental help." Arianna said, packing up her things to go.

"I know. Maybe there's a book on it." Lily said, looking around.

Arianna laughed, and pulled her friend out of the library. Lily stole a quick glance at James who just happened to be staring at her.

"So James, is there something you'd like to tell us." Sirius said, eyeing his friend cautiously.

"What do you mean?" James said, raising one eyebrow.

"So why all of the unwanted attention to Lily?" Remus asked, knowing full well the answer.

"I don't know what you guys are suggesting, but I don't think anything of Evans." James said, shaking his head.

"Really?" Sirius said, smirking.

"Yep!" James said, rolling his eyes.

"'Cause we can all see it, why cant you?' Peter said, looking at his friends.

"See what?' James said, bewildered.

"You clearly fancy her." Peter said, laughing.

"No, I don't." James said, with not much conviction in his voice.

"Uh huh, keep telling yourself that mate." Remus said, smiling. James just shook his head. He sometimes hated how close he was with his friends, they knew him way too well.

They gathered their things and headed off to Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Lily and Arianna were sitting at the front of the class when they walked in.

"Why not be nice to her, like you should be, and maybe she might actually like you." Remus said, quietly to James.

"Its more complicated than that Moony." James whispered.

"No, its really not."

Lily was busy pulling her parchment out of her bag and didn't notice the conversation taking place a few rows back.

"She doesn't really know it yet herself, but I think she might like you too." Remus whispered.

"You really think so?'

"She wrote about you in her diary. What else does that say?" Remus said, shrugging.

The rest of the class began to file in, and take their seats.

Defense Against the Dark Arts went quickly as it usually did.

Lily and Arianna walked slowly from the room, it was always the slowest class to leave.

James was staring at Lily.

"He's staring at you again." Arianna whispered to Lily.

"I don't know why." Lily said, walking quickly passed the boys that were lingering much longer than they usually did.

"I think he might have a little crush on you." Arianna said.

"Yes, his seven year old antics are certainly giving him away. He is clearly the type of guy that is going to put gum in my hair and spit on me, before he writes me love songs and recites poetry. Great, just what I want." Lily said, smiling. Arianna giggled.

They walked to the great hall, and to not much surprised the boys had beaten them there.

"How do they always do that?" Arianna whispered to Lily, who simply shrugged.

They sat at the nearest end of the table, talking absently about the next Hogsmeade trip.

"I need to start making you a present for Christmas. What would you like this year?" Lily asked.

"I thoroughly enjoyed the scarf last year, and I still have it, so why not a hat to go with it?"

"Sounds efficient." Lily said, taking a drink of her water.
