Thursday 1st of September 1977,

Lily opened her eyes and panicked as she was looking at her watch, it was 7:25am and she was supposed to meet her friends at 7:30am.

« I overslept, it has never happened to me before. » she gulped

She was horrified, how come did it happen.

Easy answer, her alarm had not rung, she would love to blame James for this but clearly he had nothing to do with it, she had simply forgotten to adjust her alarm. She had been so immersed in her book, after the midnight talk, that she had fallen asleep, book in her hands, way too late, and without adjusting her old yellow alarm clock.

...

She ran out of her room to the bathroom only wearing pale blue knickers and an old white t-shirt. It did not occur to her that James could be inside, well she did think about it but she did not care at all in that moment. Her first class was in less than an hour and she had many things to do before, too many things.

And anyway, James had told her that he had used a charm on the doors of the bathroom, if one of them was inside the doors could only be opened from the bathroom not the rooms.

She shocked her head as she realized that she, indeed, had believed James without even questioning him about the charm he had used or anything.

Something is definitely wrong with me, she thought

...

About 15minutes later.

As she was walking in the great hall, looking for Marlene and Alice, she noticed that some students were staring at her and they had, indeed, a very good reason for it.

Her long red hair was wet, her tie was not tied up properly, her shirt was on top of her skirt and her robe was poorly rolled under her right arm.

Obviously nobody had ever seen her like this, never...

She tried to walk straight and to do not look around, still looking for the familiar blonde head of Marlene and the familiar brown bob of Alice.

...

She frowned when she spotted James, Remus and Peter flirting with three too beautiful girls. They were tall, they were blonde with deep blue eyes and God, Merlin or whoever, had been way too generous with the curves of their bodies and the length of their legs.

The redhead was trying to do not stare at them but that was bloody complicated and half of the Gryffindor, and students in general, were staring at them. Girls with envy and boys with not really envy...

Lily knew that four girls from Beauxbatons had been transferred to Hogwarts, the Lafarge's sisters, and since those three girls were for sure sisters, two were twins actually and James was flirting with them, Lily had no doubts, they were the Lafarges.

They looked like Brigitte Bardot, so yes they were definitely the French girls.

She felt a knot in her throat when she heard James laughed. She looked away and finally saw Marlene who was waving at her.

« Lily, what happened to you. » asked Marlene worriedly while she was giving a bowl of cereals to the redhead

Lily looked at Marlene, loved, in Sirius' arms and she tried to smile. Truth be told, she had just realized that Marlene and Sirius doing the boyfriend/girlfriend meant that Sirius would always be around and she wasn't thrilled about this idea and everything linked to this idea like James...

« I overslept. »she mumbled

or may be I am just trapped in a stupid nightmare, she thought

James' laugh interrupted her thoughts, she instinctively looked around until their gaze met. She moved and looked at her bowl of cereals, drowning them into the milk.
James moved closer, with a Lafarge twins on each arm.

Marlene was studying the all scene, interesting...

« Sirius brother of mine, chicas, let me introduce you to Caroline and Claire Lafarge, 6th years and freshly transferred from BB. » announced James fiercely

Marlene, Alice, Dorcas, Elizabeth and Emmeline greeted warmly the twins. Lily mumbled a shy hello. She was feeling sick, James' flirty attitude was making her nauseous.

She pushed her bowl away and stood up, moving in a hurry. James took her wrist and stopped her

« Hey Evans where are you running. We still have 15minutes before transfiguration. » he said gently

He wondered what was wrong with her as before she would have never lost an opportunity to take him down. She would have told the twins that he was a pig, a brainless toerag or something like that.

« I have to check with the Prefects if. »

« Relax Evans, I already did that. This morning when I noticed that you had decided to take an extra nap. I met the Prefects before to leave the common room and everything is fine. » he explained proudly

« I still have to go. » she mumbled, not paying attention to his tone.

She looked down, at her wrist in his hand. She raised her gaze to meet his, she was waiting for James to release her. He was looking into her eyes, he could say that she was uncomfortable.

Free from his hand, she excused herself and left. Marlene kissed her boyfriend and followed Lily.

...

« Lil, wait, Lil, come on wait. » called Marlene almost out of breath

Hell since when does she run that fast, thought the sexy blonde

But Lily did not stop until she was sure that they were far away from the Great Hall.

...

Marlene caught Lily on their way to Pr McGonagall's class. Marlene asked her what was going on as they sat on a bench in front of McGonagall's door.

« Nothing, I just overslept, it had never happened to me before. Look at me, I even forgot the socks, I am violating the rules. » croaked Lily

Marlene told Lily to relax. She took care of Lily's tie, braided her red hair and ordered her to sit and breath.

«So you overslept, it does happen to me, often. And nobody is going to expell you because you've forgotten our socks. You will go for them during break. »

« Yes sure. » sighed Lily who was staring at the brown old door in front of them.

Marlene asked if there was something else, Lily nodded.

« I saw him with those girls and then he is here standing next to me playing the perfect Head Boy. Don't worry Lily, I already checked, everything is fine. Who's the hell does he think he is. » she said angrily

« The Head Boy, Lil. » kindly replied Marlene

Lily glared at her friend which made the blonde chuckled.

« Lil, I don't get it, you were upset when you got the news because you were afraid that he would escape all the time from your duties and now you are upset because he is actually doing his job. »

Lily crossed her arms on her chest and rolled her eyes.

« I don't need his pity. Oh poor Lily, she overslept, I will go on an check with the Prefects. It is a game for him, he is just trying to prove that he is better than me, that he can be the perfect HB. » said Lily angrily

Marlene laughed and told Lily that this was absurd. She told Lily that James was probably just trying to help. She insisted on the fact that James Potter was not that bad.

« May be but anyway I overslept because of him, well them, your boyfriend included. So Potter probably just felt a hint of guilt. » said Lily coldly

Marlene raised her eyebrows and asked what she had missed. Lily explained her about the episode of the fire whiskey, how she had pushed them out and slammed the door at Sirius' nose.

Marlene could not stop laughing and it only got worst when the Marauders arrived, about 30 seconds before Pr McGonagall, out of breath from their run after their morning prank on Filch.

Sirius stared at his girlfriend suspiciously but got stopped by McGonagall before he could open his mouth.

« Inside Black, now. Potter, I thought that we were clear about your morning ritual. » said Pr McGonagall seriously

« Oh we are Professor, it was the last one, I swear. It was our farewell to pranks. » explained James on the same tone as his favorite teacher.

« Potter get inside before I give you a farewell detention. Black no comment, Lupin, Pettigrew, come on hop hop inside now. » said McGonagall rolling her eyes.

...

When Lily saw that Sirius was taking Marlene's hands to find seats at the back of the room, she thought that she was going to cry which was very childish but this day had not started well at all and she did not want to be separated from her best friend.

She was always with Marlene in transfiguration, Alice was always with Remus, it had been like that for the last three years, since she had befriended the girls.

But Lily had the feeling that everything was going to be different this year, everything. She looked around and spotted her old friend who was sat next to his new best friend Mulciber.

Their eyes briefly met and instantly Lily looked away, this friendship was over but it was still painful for both.

...

Lily was looking around to find another table, she spotted one, on the front row, the table next to the window. She walked towards the table and let her tote bag fell on the table. At least she had managed to get a table away from James Potter, she thought when she saw him talking with Remus, Alice and Peter at a table, far, far away from her.

...

She was taking her quill out of her bag when she heard his voice

« Evans, »

When is this nightmare going to end, she thought as James was taking the empty sit next to hers.

« Hope you don't mind, well I know you do but she took my sit and there is no way I am going to sit next to Audrey or Selena. » explained James as he was pointing Melissa Foreman who had taken the sit next to Peter, sit that should have been his own.

« Be my guest. » she sighed and enrolled her parchment without looking at him.

When he added that he could help her since he was the best student at the discipline she told him to shut up

« Otherwise I change you into a parrot, you do share a lot with the animal already. » she snapped

For her surprise he laughed, his laugh was contagious and she ended up laughing aswell until Pr McGonagall glared at them

Marlene, Alice and the rest of the Marauders noticed and someone else but this person highly disliked the scene. He had lost her because of him, because of James Potter but seeing them laughing, seeing Lily laughing with James was definitely a first and something he had not anticipated. He could not even breathe, he so wanted to murder the bloody Quidditch Captain, prankster, Don Juan, James Potter.

« One day I will. » he murmured still looking at the girl he had fallen in love with many years ago.

Lily did not notice of course, she was too busy chatting with James.
