James was sitting at a table in the common room, trying desperately to express his feelings on paper. He snorted out loud at the thought. Since when do guys 'express their feelings?" I hope Moony is right about this…"
The firelight was dying, so James could barely tell if the letters he was scrawling were legible. He scratched out another line before balling the parchment up and threw it into the waste bin along with many, many other failed attempts. He checked his wristwatch and saw the time was3:32 in the morning. Okay, next one will be the last.

MEANWHILE
Lily turned over in bed again. This was insane. Why was she stuck on this one little thing? So what, she felt a split second spark between her and Potter, so what? That one little moment outweighs seven years of irritation?
I don't think so.
She turned over again.
Potter, you're more trouble than you're worth.
After a few more minutes of useless attempts at sleep, Lily got out of bed and opened the dormitory door as silently as she could. She climbed down the first flight of stairs, reached the top of the second set and paused. Someone was down at a table was throwing a wad of parchment into a garbage bin. There seemed to be quite a lot of paper in the bin and the guy seemed to be frustrated. She peered through the dimness and recognized the guy.
"Potter?" she whispered under her breath.
James quickly lifted his head up and looked in Lily's direction.
"Hello?" he asked
There was no response, so he shrugged and continued his writing.
Lily exhaled from the shadows of the doorway. She did not want James to see her right now. She climbed back up the stairs and crawled into bed. Well now, she thought, what in the hell is Potter doing now? He isn't just annoying, he's insane to boot.

James finally got up to bed at 4:15 in the morning. He first had to burn all the balls of parchment, which involved coaxing the fire back to life and waiting till the screw-ups were nothing but ash. But in the end, he thought when he was lying in bed; it'll all be worth it.

The next morning, James was awoken in quite possibly the worst manner possible. All the Marauders were up except James, and Sirius –being the good friend he is- decided to wake him up. To do so, Sirius dug around under his covers till he found an old sock that had been hiding from him for weeks. He took said sock and, to the amusement of Peter and Remus, placed it gingerly over James's nose.
It took only a few seconds for the stench to penetrate James's nasal cavities.
"AAAAAH!"
He flung the putrid sock across the room and began viciously rubbing and swatting at his nose while sputtering and coughing. His fellow Marauders however, were laughing their asses off.
"Bastards," James spat
"You mean, 'bastard' Prongsie," Remus said, "That was all Padfoot's doing."
Sirius giggled. (a/n – yes giggled)
"But you did nothing to stop him, which makes you a bastard too." James replied.
"Fair enough," Remus conceded

Down in the great hall, Lily could barely keep her head out of her cereal bowl. She hadn't slept well last night at all, thanks to that blasted Potter.
"I heard you tossing and turning last night Lils," Deirdre said "You ok?"
"Yeah," Lily muttered "Fine."
"Alright…" Deirdre replied skeptically.
When the mail came, a large brown screech owl swooped down and landed beside Lily. She wasn't expecting anything and was curious when she saw her name printed on the simply folded parchment.
She opened the page and her jaw dropped.
