Authors Note: Here is chap. 6. I noticed chap. 5 was quite small. This one will be longer. And I didn't know what the Herbology teacher was when Lily and James were in school so I just put Professor Sprout. Ha-ha Review please!
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Harry Potter! Just my OC's! Enjoy!
After breakfast, James headed off with Sirius and Remus to their first class. They were having an indoor theory lesson on Herbology because the rain was too heavy for them to go into the greenhouses. They were using a disused classroom on the fifth floor. As they walked along the corridor, a distant roar of angry thunder echoed throughout the school. A huge bolt of lightning flashed through the windows, lighting up the whole corridor. After a few minutes, the sky darkened and the lights switched on.
"Wow, bad weather. Let's hope it doesn't last! You have Quidditch on Saturday remember James?" Sirius said as the stopped outside the classroom door.
"Yeah I do. Although, they wouldn't stop the match because of this. I just don't want to play in rain like this because I won't be able to see the snitch! Oh and Lily wouldn't be able to see me" James answered. Sirius and Remus rolled their eyes at him.
The door to the classroom opened and Professor Sprout called the class in. James sat at the back of class with Sirius and Remus. A few seconds later Severus walked in with a massive bruise forming on his cheek from where Lily hit him. James spotted it and started to laugh quietly as he whispered it to Sirius. Sirius let out a roar of laughter and Professor Sprout glared at him. Sirius shut up straight away.
"Okay class, today we will do some theory and revision as we cannot go into the greenhouses today. We will firstly be looking at the Venomous Tentacula and the Mandrake then move onto the Bubbotuber. Now please get out your quills and some parchment and copy down what is written on the blackboard about the Venomous Tentacula and its valuable leaves. No talking during this lesson please," Professor Sprout explained. The room filled with noises of people opening their bags and placing ink bottles on the desks. Then the scratching of quills on parchment was the only sound to be heard in the class. Professor Sprout sat up the front of the class and went through the homework they just handed in. They had to write an essay on the use of Bubbotuber pus as a bit of revision. James thought he did quite well at it and expected to get a high mark for it.
"Oi, James! Did you get the homework finished on time?" Sirius suddenly whispered across the table. James nodded.
"Why?" James asked.
"Ha, I didn't. I was too busy finishing our potions homework. It was way to difficu-"Sirius stopped mid-word.
"Detention Mr. Black. No talking during this class. Didn't you hear me?" Professor Sprout had wandered over while Sirius was talking.
"Ah, well," Sirius whispered. James looked at Remus just in time to see him rolling his eyes again, but this time it was at Sirius.
Lily was still fuming inside about Severus at dinner. She cut into her chicken so quickly and fiercely that the knife slipped right through it, out of her hand and onto the floor. When she sat back up straight from retrieving it, Grace was staring at her with a blank look.
"What?" Lily said angrily.
"Geez, I know you're angry but don't take it out on me!" Grace answered.
"Sorry Grace" Lily said. She meant it. She was just so annoyed at what Sev did, that she was taking it out on everyone else.
"That's alright. Anyway I was just going to say, I know you're annoyed and you have every right to be, it's just that you need to calm down a bit. In class today you got so annoyed that you snapped your quill and poked a bazillion holes in your homework! You answered questions like you were insulted! Seriously Lil, calm down! Please," Grace explained. Lily stared at Grace for a moment as though she much liked to slap her. But she didn't. She looked at her plate of food before her eyes filled with glistening tears.
"I'm so sorry Grace! It's just hard for me. I could be losing a best friend here! I'm just confused and I'm angry and I'm annoyed! I'm feeling all these things and I feel like I'm going to explode! That's why I've been so aggravated and angry," Lily said, wiping her eyes with her sleeve. Grace leaned over and gave Lily a big friendly hug.
"Are you going to eat?" Grace said letting go of Lily.
"I've lost my appetite" Lily replied. She got up ran out of the hall as fast she could. She reached the staircase and was a few steps up, when she ran into someone. Looking up, she saw James looking at her with a concerned look on his face.
"Lily, what's the matter with my sweetheart?" James said, pulling her in for a hug. Lily continued to cry in the back of James's robes. James patted her hair lightly before pulling her up the stairs onto the first floor.
"What's wrong Lily?" He said, gently. Lily shook her head.
"I c-can't tell you. You will just g-go off and w-whack him with every c-curse!" Lily stuttered.
"Is it Snivellus? Oh sorry," James said, apologetically. But Lily shook her head again.
"No I'll let you call him that. Snivellus Snape! That jerk!" Lily said, almost yelling.
"What did he do? I swear on my life I will not go and curse him or hit him," James promised. Lily nodded.
"But not here. In the common room," Lily said, pulling James up the stairs. When they reached the common room James sat down on his favourite chair near the crackling fire and Lily followed suit and sat next to him. He grabbed her hand and held it as she took a deep breath. James's hand was warm and that felt comfortable to Lily. She began telling him everything that Severus was doing. All the letters, the meeting before breakfast and what happened in classes. When Lily finished, James's face was red and he looked about ready to scream. Lily waited and hoped he wouldn't yell.
"That little greasy haired jerky bast-"James stopped.
"Hey! No Language like that mister!" Lily interrupted before James could say the word.
"Sorry sweetie, I am just so angry at that greasy boy! How dare he try and kiss my sweetheart!" James answered.
"I know you are. I am giving you permission to yell at him but no curses and no hitting! Got it?" Lily said firmly, even though she was flattered that James called her sweetheart again. James nodded.
"Prove to me you understand" Lily said. James smiled and leaned in closer. Their lips met. Lily was engulfed in a feeling of happiness. When James was with her, whenever those gorgeous lips touched her, she felt like she was flying. Like nothing could go wrong. It was fabulous.
While Lily and James sat there, side by side, Severus was sitting on the steps leading up to the dormitory. He snuck in there after he heard the password from somebody. He sat watching them, jealousy and anger rolling through him, and small tears streaking down his face.
