The next morning Lily woke up to the sound of rocks being thrown at her window. "Jon… Stop throwing rocks at my window!" she said sleepily.

"Wake-up sleepy head!" he said laughing.

"Why? It's winter break! I'm s'posed to be able to sleep. Jon, go away. I'll go to your house later. A lot later." Lily said as she closed her window, grabbed her wand and muttered a spell to make it sound proof.

About three hours later Lily re-awoke. She glanced at the clock, it read 10:07 AM.

Lily got up, took a shower, did her make-up, dressed, put on some jewelry and went downstairs. She noticed a note addressed to her on her counter.

Lily and Petunia (assuming you came home last night Nia),

We are, as usual, at work. Do whatever it is that you two usually do. Just don't kill each other. Your father and I will be back around 7:00PM tonight. One of you cook dinner. (I say Lily, Nia's cooked for us plenty of times while Lils was away)

Have fun, don't kill each other.

Love Mum and Dad. A/N- the stuff in () is Lily's dad talking, the rest is her mom

Nia,

Be good, make sure your sister stays out of trouble, and stay out of trouble your self while you're at it. Be nice to Lily. Don't call her names or anything like that, she was so happy last night when you were nice to her.

Mum

Lily,

Be good, stay out of trouble. Don't fight with your sister. You know she loves you, remember how you two used to be inseparable? Anyway, be my good little girl.

Mum

Lily grinned as she read the notes. She was jerked out of her thoughts when the doorbell rang. Smiling happily she answered it.

Lily stared at a blonde girl with blue eyes and was average height. She was wearing a mini skirt, high heels, and a tube top with a netted jacket. Lily stared at her, after all, how many people do you know that dress like that 4 days before Christmas?

"Oh, hi. I'm looking for James. Do you know where he lives? I thought this was his house." The girl said.

"James? He's next door. I'll take you there if you like."

"Sounds good."

Lily led the girl to James' house wondering silently who she was and what she wanted. She rang the doorbell and waited.

A second later James opened the door, looking at her shocked. "Hi Lily, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at Jon's?" James said with a shocked scowl.

"I was heading down there, well just about to, when she (Lily jerked her head backwards) came to see you, got our houses mixed up though."

"JAMES!" She squealed, jumping on him before he could do anything.

"Angel?" He questioned obviously shocked. By now Sirius and Remus were at the door too, looking equally shocked to see their guest.

"Oh, Jamie! I heard the awful news, and thought that you could use some cheering up! I mean, what better way too? I make you happier than anyone or anything for that matter, in the whole wide world! (Sirius scoffed in the background, reminding himself of Trixi) So what do you say? Wanna go to the ball with me?" The girl finished excitedly.

"Angela, I don't know how to tell you this, but… I don't think I'm gonna go with you this year. I… I wanted to ask someone else this year."

Angela looked as though she might cry.

"It's not that I don't love you or anything, I do, I really do. You're my Angel, and you always will be ("Only because he doesn't know anyone else named Angela." Remus stated pointedly. James shot him a look.). I love you, I really, really do!"

"Then why won't you go with me?"

"I- I just… Look you know we're engaged right? (Angela nodded, Lily looked shocked) I just wanted to take a break from you so I could appreciate you more, you know!" James said, hastily. Sirius looked as though he was trying very hard to hold back his laughter. Remus shook his head at James, an amused smile on his lips.

"Oh. I see. Who do you want to take to the ball then? We've always gone together." She whined.

"Oh, uh- I don't know yet." James said glancing momentarily at Lily, who looked like she'd like to kill Angela.

"Fine. But you are going right?"

"Yeah. I'm gonna go to the big Christmas Ball."

Angela looked stunned. "Shh. Don't say it in front of her! She's a muggle isn't she?"

"Who? Lily? No, she's not. She goes to school with me." James looked at Lily, her eyes were burning with fire. "Come here for a sec, Lils."

"Hmm?" Lily asked as she walked towards the 'couple'.

"This is Angela Branette. Angel, this is Lily Evans."

"Pleasure." Lily said stiffly.

"I haven't heard your name before… You're obviously not a pureblood."

"And proud of it."

"Half?"

"Nope."

"Ah. I see." Angela said, sounding slightly disgusted. "I'll see you around, Jamie." She went up to James and kissed his cheek, nodded to Sirius, glanced at Remus, and didn't spare a second glance at Lily, before walking out.

An awkward silence filled the room. "I'd better get going… I told Jon I'd be at his house when I woke up…" Lily said, walking out. Sirius and Remus said bye while James just watched her leave.

"She'll never go with me now!" James exclaimed angrily.

"Angel? You made it perfectly clear that you DIDN'T want to go with her…" Sirius stated confused.

"I meant Lily." James said looking at Sirius like he was an idiot.

"Oh."

"Why not?" Remus asked, trying desperately to find a way to cheer James up.

"Because, she knows I'm engaged. To Angela. She'll say that I should go with Angela. And that she doesn't want to be used to compare her to Angela." James groaned loudly.

"Well. You really like Lily don't you? You've never stood up to Angela before. You always do whatever she tells you to do." Sirius said slowly.

"I do. I really, really like her. But she hates me. She wouldn't care if I died. She wouldn't care if I died extremely painfully. She wouldn't care if I-"

"We got the point, Prongs."

"She doesn't hate you. She was really upset when you weren't being your usual annoying self. She cares about you…"

"Not anymore she won't."

"Prongs…"

"Padfoot?"

"Yeah?"

"Shut up."

Lily, being Lily, stood outside of the door to the room and heard every single word. Silently she went down the street, told Jon that she needed to get her thoughts straight, went home and crashed on her bed.
