I was inspired to write the next chapter of this story! Whoo-hoo! Go Lils!!!! *does a little dance*

Disclaimer: I don't own it, okay? *goes and cries in a corner*

Chapter 7

James eyes shut tightly and he could feel drowsiness take over his body. He could practically feel the dormitory leave and James was now back in the Common Room (this is a dream, ok? He's not really back in the Common Room).

James looked around and saw a thirteen year old version of himself and Lily. They looked like they were arguing over something.

James suddenly realized what they were arguing about. He felt an unpleasant jolt of guilt in his stomach. Sirius had played a prank on Lily and Lily thought it had been James.

Lily had a crush on one of the guys in Ravenclaw. She told James and Sirius overheard them. So, Sirius wrote a letter pretending to be the Ravenclaw guy. Lily thought it had been James. Then Lily went up to the Ravenclaw guy and he laughed in her face. And then Lily and James started arguing.

"I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! You are so mean! I can't believe that you would do that to a friend of yours!" Lily screamed at him putting an extra emphasis on the word friend.

"Lily, I didn't-" James had tried.

Lily was now crying, "I hate you, James Potter! What kind of sick and twisted joke were you trying to pull on me??"

"Lily, I-" James tried for a second time.

"Shut up, James!! I can't believe you! You knew I liked him!! Why would you write that?? What kind of friend are you?!?!?" Lily screamed at him, outraged.

"It wasn't me!" James said desperately.

"Yes, it was! I didn't tell anyone else!" Lily screamed at him. "I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!"

"Lily,-" James started to say.

"James just shut up and leave me alone, ok? I hate you and I never want to see your stupid face again!" Lily screamed at him even louder.

James woke up drenched in cold sweat. He hated that dream. It hadn't been his fault, and he'd tried to tell Lily that, but she didn't believe him. And then she made friends with Max who hated James and his friends, and eventually Lily started to hate him just as much. James rolled over and drifted into a troubled sleep.

James woke up again when Max had punched him in the shoulder.

"Ouch! What'd you do that for?" James asked annoyed.

Max just glared at him. Then James remembered that he had put a silencing charm on her.

"Oh, you want me to take the charm off, don't you, Maxie?" James asked innocently.

Max glared at James for calling her Maxie, but then just slowly nodded her head.

James paused for a moment, pretending to be thinking hard, and then said, "Nope, sorry, don't think I will. Now, I'm going back to bed."

"James!" spoke a voice from nearby Max.

It was Lily. James groaned on the inside.

"Oh hi, Lils," James said casually as if he didn't know what was wrong.

"Why won't you take the curse off of her?" Lily asked looking shocked at James's behavior.

"Where's Anna?" James asked trying to distract her attention.

"James!" Lily warned him.

'Think of something! Think of something!' James thought. "She punched me!" James said the first thought that came into his head.

Lily looked at James. "James, that's no reason. Just take the charm off of her."

James was going to have to take the charm off of Max, now or Lily would be mad. Not that she wouldn't be mad, once she got her memory back. James inwardly admitted defeat, grabbed his wand off of his bedside table, and reluctantly took the curse off of her.

Max didn't waste any time. "Lily can I talk to you?" she asked sounding outraged.

Lily looked a little confused. "Sure, Max."

"C'mon," Max said walking out of the boy's dormitory and down into the Common Room.

James jumped out of his bed and dug through his trunk for his invisibility cloak. He found it, put it on, and followed them out of the door.

"What- why- how come-" Max tried several times, but she just seemed to angry to speak.

"Just say it, Max," Lily told her looking confused about what was going on.

"Why are you hanging out with Potter?" Max spat out finally.

"What? What are you talking about? We're dating, aren't we?" Lily asked uncertainly.

"No! Of course you aren't dating! You hate each others guts! Dating is the last thing on either of your minds whenever you see each other!!" Max screamed.

"That's not true!" Lily shouted.

"Of course it is! Potter poisoned your mind while you were in the Hospital Wing!" Max cried furiously.

"NO! That's not true! It's not true at all!" Lily screamed at her.

"It is too! You're just too weak to realize that Potter is just playing some kind of horrible joke on you, Lils!" Max told Lily angrily.

"No! Shut up! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!" Lily screamed. Those words seemed so familiar to her.

Max looked genuinely hurt at what Lily had said. "Lily, I-" Max tried. Lily knew this from somewhere else.

"Max, just shut up and leave me alone, ok?" Lily screamed. Where had she heard this? "I hate you and I never want to see your ugly face again!"

Max looked at Lily looking sincerely hurt. She turned and walked out of the Common Room. For once, Max didn't have a sharp comeback.

Lily collapsed into a nearby chair. She stared at the flames of the warm, crackling fire. Where had she heard that conversation before? It seemed so familiar, yet she couldn't place where she had heard it before. The words played over and over again in her head.

'No! Shut up! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!'

'Lily, I-'

'Max, just shut up and leave me alone, ok? I hate you and never want to see you ugly face again!'

'No! Shut up! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!'

'Lily, I-'

'Max, just shut up and leave me alone, ok? I hate you and never want to see you ugly face again!'

'No! Shut up! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!'

'Lily, I-'

'James, just shut up and leave me alone, ok? I hate you and never want to see you stupid face again!'

Lily's eyes widened in horror as she suddenly remembered exactly where she had heard that conversation before. She sat straight up in her chair and mouthed the name, "James."
