A/N: I know! I suck at updating. But, life goes on. Lemme give you some acceptable reasons. 1, I take an online course for one class. 2, I'm getting a puppy. 3, we just moved. 4, life basically hates me 5. I just got back from the most amazing vacation which involved Harry Potter World and a Disney cruise to the Bahamas.

Lily bounced into the potions corridor. She could hear her mother yelling. That wasn't good.

"You lied to your father and I! You insulted Lily too. She is very smart! Don't say she's a coward. James you're grounded. Come to me here, tonight! Detention with both of your parents. Now go!" Ginny's yells echoed through the halls.

Lily paused. Her mother had to be talking about her. The others looked at her with curiosity. She shrugged. They saw an embarrassed James walking through the hall.

"You broke your record! Already! Another detention. Wait 'till I tell Julie." Emma smirked.

"Oh, she kinda already knows. We have Potions together. And honestly, butt out." James replied.

"Originality wasn't ever his thing." Emma whispered.

"You're right. Come on! We don't have long until Potions. Mum won't let us be late." Lily advised.

Emma nodded and motioned for them to come on. Which, they did. The five sat in the front row of the potions classroom. Lily and Emma were both very thankful that Ginny didn't embarrass them like the men. Err, being a teacher's daughter was awful.

As soon as everyone was in the class, Ginny started giving a speech. It annoyed Lily and she nearly fell asleep. The laid her head on her desk and squinted her eyes annoyed.

"Is there something wrong, Ms. Potter?" Ginny asked in a very teacherly voice.

"No ma'am." Lily answered a blush creeping up her neck.

"Well then, you shouldn't have a problem repeating that back to me." Ginny replied in a very Snape-like way.

"Err, I can't." Lily said, now red.

"As I expected. I'll take five points. Do try to pay attention. Now class, please copy this down." Ginny told them. She was now thoroughly pleased with herself.

There was the general sound of people taking things out. Then, the sound of people writing down their notes.

Lily felt her face burn red. Couldn't her mother understand she knew this? It was all so awful. A girl named Ashya fell asleep, and her mother didn't care. Ashya was even snoring. She just asked another kid to wake her up. Lily thought this day couldn't get worse. Emma agreed, but in a different way.

Emma was jealous of Lily. Both of her parents were here. Her mom, Luna, was still taking care of Isaac and Jules back home. Her dad may embarrass he, but it was nice. Lily gets everything, she thought.

Abby noticed Emma glaring daggers at Lily. She shook it off. Unless things got bad, it wouldn't do to make things worse. Lily hadn't even seemed to have noticed. She quietly voiced her concerns to Zoe.

"I do see what you mean. But, maybe Emma is in a bad mood. I don't think you should say anything. We really shouldn't start a fight. Besides Lily hasn't said anything, why should you?" Zoe whispered back.

Abby knew Zoe was right. She just wanted to tell her. But, she kept quiet. She still had work to do.

Next, was lunch. It was a quiet affair. There weren't any arguments. Just boys being ridiculous Lily sighed. She pulled out a spare piece of parchment and started to doodle.

Meanwhile, Abby had made up her mind. She was going to tell Lily.

She leaned over and whispered.
