It was the morning after the ball, students were sleeping in. Lily, as usual, got up at her exact time. She figured Severus would still be sleeping so she decided to go to the library. The common room was filling with sunlight as her dorm mates were still tucked away sleeping. She looked to Mary's bed and found she wasn't there. I wonder how her night was with James. He didn't seem like much fun to Mary. She shrugged. Potter is none of my business. Although, i do feel rather bad for rejecting him so much. Lily pouted and then rise her nose. It's his own fault for not giving up. She put on her sweaters and headed down to the common room. She saw Mary sitting on the couch staring at the fire. Lily's cheeks turned pink. Oh no, she going to bring up James.. I'll just walk out.. she won't not-
"So how was it?" Mary's eyes were fixed on the fire. Lily chest began to fill with dread.
Lily dug her nails in her book. "My night? It was great. Severus really made my ni-"
"What is it about you?" Mary sat up and gazed at Lily with empty eyes. "James barely acknowledged me and I was his date!"
"You know how Potter is…"
"Yes, you definitely know."
"Mary, don't be mad at me."
"How can I be mad at you?" Mary gave off a forced grin. Lily sighed and left to the library.
It was around noon when the Gryffindor boys decided to get out of bed.
"Sirius, get up already mate! It's noon for god's sake!" Remus shook Sirius' head violently.
"Alright, alright… just give me another hour."
"You are a hopeless case, Padfoot." He sighed. "James are you awake?" He turned towards James who was facedown in his pillow.
"Yes." he mumbled through his pillow. Remus rolled his eyes.
"Screw the both of you! I'm getting lunch by myself." Remus angrily stomped out of the boy's dorm and slammed the door.
"You think he's upset?" Sirius chuckled.
"He probably didn't get anywhere with his date last night." James laughed and turned to his side and faced Sirius whose bed was next to his.
"How was your night Prongs?"
"Ah, it was crap but I'll live. The sun has risen!" James put his hands in the air. "Who is Lily?"
