Chapter III

Charms was the last class of the day, so no one was paying attention. Lily was chatting with Ursula and Fiona, who were sitting in front of the Marauders. James was still fuming about Chris, specially 'cause he was sitting near Lily looking at her. Sirius was talking to Kingsley Shacklebolt, a fellow Ravenclaw.

"It's easy Kingsley, just say 'Eva-NES-co' with a flick of the wand, it's really easy" said an exasperated Sirius Black.

"Easy for you to say"

"How thick can a person be!!! I thought wormtail was the only one" mumbled Sirius

In that moment, Flitwick was coming, and Sirius quickly whispered 'Evanesco' and the cup disappeared.

"Ok class" the professor said "The class is over, but continue practicing, I'll see you next class" By the time he finished the sentence, half the class was already gone

James finished packing his stuff, when he realized that Lily was nowhere to be seen "Where's Lily?" he asked Ursula

"she left a minute ago with that new friend of hers...what's his name again?"

"Oh Chris"

James saw red "Where did they go?" he asked between clenched teeth.

"I think he wanted her to show him around, you know 'cause he's new"

"O.K" and he went directly to his room.

Meanwhile Chris and Lily were walking by the lake.

"So Lily...you are really close to the Marauders right?"

"Yeah, they are like big brothers to me"

"Is James like a brother to you also?" He said with a expression in his eyes that Lily couldn't read

"Well.. James..." but she couldn't finish because something was emerging from the lake

"what the fuck is that"

Lily laughed "That's the giant squid, it lives in the lake"

"Wow, you have pretty weird thing here"

"And you haven't seen them all" Lily said giggling

"You are kidding right?"

"Oh no, you still got to meet Peeves, Mourning Myrtle, The Whooping Willow... and so on"

"I don't mind seeing them if it is with a gorgeous girl like yourself" whispered Chris in her ear.

Lily blushed "Chris" she whispered. He smiled and said "Come on, let's go back"

James was sitting with the other marauders in the Common Room. They were talking about Quidditch when he heard the portrait opening, and Lily coming into the room with a slight blush on her face. James stood up and went directly to her

"Where have you been all this time?" he nearly yelled to her

Lily couldn't talk, she was shocked at the way James was acting

"Well, I'm waiting"

"I-I was showing the school to... Chris" she said the last part in a whisper

"Who?" Don't tell me that I heard what I think...

"Chris... the new guy I was talking to at breakfast"

"WHAT?!!!!!!!!"

"James calm down please"

"CALM DOWN?!"

"Why are you yelling at her for?" asked an annoyed Remus

"She...and The new prat"

"What about him?"

"She was with him...ALONE"

Remus was about to say something, but then turned to lily as if he just realized what James said "Lily... I thought we told you not to hang out with this Chris Boy, I mean you don't know him"

"I do now" said an outrageous Lily

"What's the big fuzz about?" said Sirius who just join the conversation "Lily, why didn't you wait for us after Charms?"

"SHE was with CHRIS ... ALONE" Remus said

"It was time you had a date Lily" said a rat named Peter

"SHUT THE FUCK UP WORMTAIL" the three boys shouted

"Boys, come on, I was just showing him around, nothing more. Please stop"

"I thought we made it clear that we didn't like Him, around you" Sirius explained

"Yeah, I mean you don't know his intentions" Remus said

"He's my friend" she said raising her voice "and that's... all"

"But-"

"Ok Lily" Sirius interrupted James, glaring at him "If that's all, but we still don't like him being near you"

"You never like any boy who looks at me" She pointed out

"And never will" said a grinning Remus

"Guys I'm tired, I'm going to bed, 'night"

"'Night Lily" they said

When Lily was gone, James turned to Sirius "Why did you interrupt me?"

"You were going to make it worse prongs"

"But-"

"I know pal"

"Look, we are not going to let it go, we'll still watch her" Remus explained

"O.K"

Lily was sitting in her bed when she heard the door being open

"Hey Lily" Said Ursula. She was a pretty blue eyed brunette "We heard the argument"

"Are you ok sweetie" said a girl who had come into the room behind Ursula. She had her blond hair into a ponytail.

"I'm fine Fiona, don't worry"

"They are really jealous, aren't they?" said Ursula

"They just don't like boys near me"

"But Lily, who needs other boys when you are with them" said Fiona with a grin "They are just THE H-O-T-T-E-S-T guys in school, and they are SINGLE"

"They are just my friends"

"Friends like Chris?"

"You looked really cute with him Lily" Ursula said

"He's nice and all...but the marauders don't like him"

"And Do you?"

"I-I..." but Lily couldn't find an answer.
