Top Ten Names
Dear Diary,
I very much hope no one reads this, as my last entry was disturbingly commented on by two annoying gits. I am still bored, it's History of Magic and I'm not in the mood to take notes. James has been acting way friendlier to me and I have to admit I love it! He hasn't asked me out yet though. :( He is so adorable! The way he ruffles his hair, it used to annoy me but now that I look at him with a new light, I think it's attractive. I think that if he asks me out again, I'll say yes. Yeah, I think I just might. He's so adorable! If we go out, then get married, and then have kids, (Okay, I know that was a bit straightforward but I wanted to do this anyway, not necessarily with James) this is what I want to name them:

Don't ask. I really like the word NUMB. It's funny! Hehe. Well, the bell's about to ring. TTYL.
XOXO, Lily
Soon enough, the bell rang, indicating the end of class. Lily quickly stuffed her diary inside her backpack and flung it over her shoulder. She noticed James and Remus talking quietly in the back corner of the class, where the Marauders always sat. James noticed her looking at him and he smiled sheepishly. Lily's stomach flipped as she turned away to wait for Elizabeth.
"Liz, please hurry!" she said impatiently. Elizabeth looked up,
"What-oh! Sorry must have dozed off" she said sleepily and made a quick movement for her backpack, which had not been unpacked since she came in. Lily and Lizzie walked out of History of Magic together. Elizabeth was eying Lily curiously,
"So…Lils! How are you and Jamesie doing?" she asked suddenly. At the mention of James' name, Lily perked up.
"What? Oh. James? Nothing. We're friends. We don't really talk much though." She answered truthfully. Please don't try to act matchmaker Liz. Lizzie raised her eyebrows,
"Oh, well as you both like each other but are to coward to do anything about it, I'll set you up with him! How do you like that?" she asked. Before she could finish the sentence completely, Lily shouted,
"NO! I-I mean, no thanks Lizzie. I can sort out my love life alone. Thanks." Elizabeth looked annoyed,
"Fine. Hey! Look! Talking about the devil, or shall I say, the angel?" sure enough, James and his gang were approaching the girls, or so they thought.
"HEY SNIVELLUS!" cried Sirius. Lily looked behind her, and saw Snape walking with a book in his hands. He fumbled around nervously and his book fell.
"Expelliarmus!" shouted Sirius again. Snape collided with the wall behind him and bounced off it, crashing into Lily. Both the contents of their bags flew out in all directions. Lily groaned and glared at Sirius. Snape, on the other hand was trying to gather his stuff, while holding on tightly to his wand. James came running over.
"Lily! Are you all right? I'm so sorry! That wasn't supposed to happen! Here, let me help you." He rushed and picked up all of Lily's books. Then, out of nowhere, appeared Bellatrix Lestrange, and her twin, Rodolphus. They were both known, like the Blacks, for being in a rich, pureblood family. Both of them were in Slytherin and acted as if they owned Hogwarts. They were, in fact, related to the Blacks. Cousins, but Sirius was far away from relating with any Slytherin; especially someone that came from the bloodline he had to call, his.
"Look who it is! Potter and Evans! What a surprise! I wouldn't have thought it off you, Snape. Touching filthy scum like her." Bellatrix sneered. Sirius pointed his wand at her, but she was too quick, and shot a stunning spell at Sirius. Sirius got hit and fell, unconscious, to the hard, stone floor. Remus sprinted over to his friend, Peter stood there, nervously watching the scene. James left Lily and stood up, facing the Slytherins.
"Leave my friends alone, Lestrange," he said calmly but sternly. Rodolphus laughed coldly,
"Who's gonna make us, Potter?" he sneered as wells. James flared his nostrils, as he did when he was extremely mad, and closed his eyes. Rodolphus took the chance to shoot a spell at James, which he reflected easily. It hit Bellatrix's back. Her backpack was torn open as well and its contents flew all over the place. Remus had woken Sirius up, and held him so he didn't do anything. Lily put the last quill in her backpack and stood up, with help from Elizabeth. Snape was already leaving, careful as not to be seen by any of the Marauders. Bellatrix fixed her stuff and she and her twin glared at the Gryffindors, storming off in the opposite direction. Lily snorted and pulled a slightly astonished Elizabeth towards the Gryffindor common room. Sirius sighed,
"That is not my cousin," he said with an air of dignity. Remus nodded comprehensively and helped him up. Peter rushed over to his friends; all three of them looked up at James.
"That was a good thing you did, Prongs. Acting all calm and everything." Remus said. James' glazed look flicked towards Remus.
"She didn't even say thank you." He whispered hoarsely. Sirius grinned,
"Well, she didn't seem mad at you, or anything! More likely mad at me, I caused Snivellus to collide into her…unintentionally of course!" he added quickly as he saw the look on James' face. Remus frowned,
"I thought you two were getting along, quite well!" he exclaimed. James shrugged,
"Well, she, uh, wrote some stuff to me in my uh, journal. And yeah, she told me she liked me so yeah. She's been blushing a lot around me lately, is that a good sign?" he asked Sirius. Sirius smirked.
"Yeah! It means her body gets nervous so it heats up and she blushes. Basic things, Prongsie. So when are you going to ask her out?" he replied. James bit his lip,
"Well, I don't know. What if she gets mad at me for trying and everything goes back to normal. When she hated the very guts of me. I don't want that to happen." He said sadly. Sirius and Peter looked at each other and shrugged, Remus patted James on the back,
"She won't hate you. But you do whatever feels right, at whatever time you feel right. We'll be right there for you, no matter what. Won't we guys?" he assured James. Peter stopped fiddling with his thumbs and looked up,
"What-oh! Yeah! Of course, sure Prongs!" he said hurriedly. James smiled awkwardly.
"Okay…! Stop with the sweetness! Let's go play Quidditch!" Sirius exclaimed, running off towards the school gates. The rest of the marauders looked at each other and burst out laughing, following their friend outside.
Lily put down her Transfiguration book in frustration. She and Lizzie had been trying to study for the Transfiguration test for the past half an hour. Elizabeth perked up,
"I CAN'T CONCENTRATE! I keep thinking about James! Help me, Liz!" Lily cried. Lizzie smirked,
"I thought you said you wanted to solve your own life, alone!" she replied mockingly. Lily stuck out her tongue,
"Yeah, I do. I'm going to let my feelings out in my diary. Yeah, that's good." She said. Elizabeth rolled her eyes and went back to her book. Lily searched her backpack for her diary. She frowned, Where is it? I'm sure I put it in here in History of Magic…right? It has to be in here! She emptied the contents on the carpet. Nothing. No diary. Lily gasped. OH NO! When my stuff fell! Snape must have picked it up by mistake! OH NO OH NO OH NO!! Lily widened her eyes and stared at her friend.
"What?" Elizabeth asked coldly. "I'm not going to help you." Lily shook her head.
"My diary's gone. My DIARY is GONE! I think SNAPE has it. I think Snape had my DIARY!" she exclaimed. Lizzie'smouth fell open. The two girls said the only word that could be said at the moment, at the same time.
"Crap." Looking into each other's eyes, they began to think of how they could get it back without him knowing he had it. Just then, something hit the window. Lily looked up and saw an owl. An owl carrying…her diary!
"Oh my god! Please! He returned it! Yes! Lizzie I have it back!" Lily shouted excitedly, causing a few first years to stare at her. Elizabeth grinned.
"Wow, Lils. Why don't you check if he wrote something on it?" she teased. Lily smiled,
"Just because you can't resist commenting on people's diaries doesn't mean everyone does." She whispered. Elizabeth looked offended,
"Hey! You did it too, so don't say anything!" she cried. Lily laughed and opened her diary. She froze. There was comments. Why me? Why Snape! Lily showed Elizabeth the page, and her friend started cracking up. Lily turned back to her diary and read,
