"Here" Answered James, pushing their leaves towards Lily and Alice, and returned to crushing his beetles. He looked up when Lily reached over to collect the leaves, her sleeve rising up her arm a little, James stopped suddenly, "Where'd you get that bracelet?

Lily froze, and she heard Alice gasp behind her, "I…I..got it from a…"

James looked on expectantly, not saying a word and for once Sirius was silent.

"I…" Lily sighed; she looked from, James, to Sirius, to Alice, to Remus and back to James. "Oh James, I'm so sorry I didn't tell you earlier, but…" Lily looked down, "you know my sister Dandelion?" Her voice nearly a whisper as she looked up hesitantly, "Well, you see…she's sort of, I mean, I …"

"You're Dandelion aren't you?" James half asked, half stated, his face expressionless.

"YES" Lily's voice cracked a little as she watched different emotions pass James's face, confusion, hurt, anger, "I'm so sorry James! I wanted to tell you earlier, but…"

"Have you taken the leaves?" James asked abruptly.

Lily raised her hand signifying she had them.

"Great." He replied cuttingly.

Lily tried to talk again, "James I…"

He didn't reply, he didn't even look up, he just went on crushing his beetles, if not a bit more vigorously than before.

Lily sighed and walked back to her cauldron with Alice.

"Sorry mate" Sirius rested a hand on James's shoulder.

James didn't reply.

After many moments of awkwardness, the bell relieved many people.

"Well done everyone, we'll continue these potions next lesson! Just leave them on the bench" Slughorn informed the class.

Sirius moved to put their cauldron the bench as James walked briskly out of the classroom, all thoughts of the successful day gone.

Walking swiftly to his room, many thoughts were running through James's head. Why would she do such a thing? To make fun of him? So that she could laugh at him later with her friends? Or maybe just out of plain spite. Was this the Lily he knew? She usually just said 'NO' straight to his face, and plus he had thought that they were getting along this year. James's shoulders drooped and he rested his head in his hands.

Of course she was Dandelion, that's why she had her robes hanging up in her room.

Of course she was Dandelion, that's why everyone had called her Lily; he had thought that they just got the two twins mixed up.

Of course she was Dandelion, that's why he had never heard of Lily talking about her 'twin', he'd heard her ramble on about her awful older sister, Petunia, but never 'Dandelion'.

Of course she was Dandelion, that's why she had mentioned the 'Taj Mahal' by accident when he had asked her about her trip.

Of course she was Dandelion, that's why she had mentioned breaking her mother's plate, but that there wasn't anyone to fix it for her, that had been him! He had been the one who had fixed it.

Of course she was Dandelion, that's why she had the 'fringe', if you could even call it that. That had been when she had been forced to cut it off, because it had gotten caught on a button.

Of course she was Dandelion, that's why she was reading the book he had given her. The book he'd given her for her birthday.

Of course she was Dandelion, that's why she had been wearing the bracelet he'd given her…

He bashed his head against his bed, how had he been so stupid? Everything had been right in front of him.

He would skip dinner tonight; he didn't feel like facing everyone. He wasn't usually this sensitive, why was it that this girl affected him so much? Why was it always Lily Evans? No. James thought firmly, he wouldn't let her get to him again; he would act as if everything was normal, nothing had happened. No, he wouldn't act as if everything was normal, because that would mean interacting with her and he wanted to be as far away from her as possible, but at the same time, something inside him yearned for her. No. It's better to show no emotion, he would ignore her completely, unless they had to work together as heads.

He had a quidditch match to win, his spirits rising a little at the thought of having a purpose. He would prove them all wrong; he would show them all that he didn't care about Lily Evans.

Somebody knocked, "James?" Lily asked hesitantly.

James stiffened; he quickly grabbed his invisibility cloak and put it on as she poked her head in.

As soon as she had left James slapped his forehead, he had just told himself that he would not be affected by this girl and what had he done? Hidden underneath his invisibility cloak.

James swore, he just realised he's scheduled quidditch practice tonight. He quickly put on his quidditch gear and headed down to the pitch.

"Prongs! You're here, didn't think you'd make it" Sirius grinned.

"I wouldn't miss quidditch practice for the world" James grinned back.

An hour later, neither Sirius nor James were grinning. The wind was howling and rain poured down unmercifully.

"CONCENTRATE LONGBOTTOM!" James hollered into the wind. "C'MON BAKER! YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT" Frustrated with his team, but frankly he couldn't blame them. 'WELL DONE ANDREWS!"

Half and hour later of freezing their butts off, the Gryffindor team finally trudged inside to hear the Malfoy and Lestrange complaining about their common room. Sirius and James sniggered, walking past innocently.

"James!" James didn't even look at Lily as he walked past. She desperately wanted to apologise, but how could she when he was walking past acting as if she didn't exist? But on the other hand, she was happy to sit back and watch James's retreating figure, she couldn't help but notice that his shirt stuck to his figure rather nicely. Any girl would've noticed it and it just so happened she was no longer immune to the Potter charm.

"Yesterday was a mess" Said Lily as she plonked down on the bench and piled food onto her plate.

"Yeah, it was" Alice agreed.

"So what do I do?" Asked Lily feeling helpless.

"Apologise you doofus" Alice replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Well yeah, but how?" Lily asked, "He's ignoring me."

"Just go…" Lily tuned out as she looked at James. He turned around suddenly, feeling someone staring at him, but it seemed as if his eyes just swept right through her, as if she wasn't there. "-Lily are you listening to me?"

"Wha? Oh, sorry."

"Anyway, I have Herbology now, bye Lily!" And Alice was gone; Lily followed her lead and walked to Transfiguration.

"Today class, we shall be transfiguring a quill into a rabbit, the incantation is Convetre Elambre." Professor McGonagall informed her class, "You may commence".

"Convetre Elambre" Said Lily with a wave of her wand, the quill didn't even move.

"Convetre Elambre!" Lily tried again with a little more conviction.

Still nothing.

What was wrong with her? Nearly everyone in her class had made progress except for her. "Convetre Elambre, Convetre Elambre, damnit!"

Lily looked up as she heard her name, why was McGonagall talking to James? She looked at the rabbit sitting on his table; she looked back to them talking, James groaned and then suddenly he was walking towards her.

"Er yes?" Lily asked hesitantly when he walked up to her desk.

"Mcgonagall wants me to help you" He said with a bored expression.

"Why? I don't need help!" Lily replied indignantly.

"Great" And he started walking away.

"Uh… wait! Maybe I do..."

"Okay then, what's wrong?" James replied with no expression.

"I don't know! I don't know what I'm doing wrong; the quill just refuses to respond".

"Well, you have to visualise it clearly in your head and then you just say the incantation".

"Convetre Elambre" And to Lily's amazement, the quill suddenly became larger and larger until it was a rabbit, besides the fact that it had feathers instead of fur.

"Yeah, that's it." James said with no feeling.

"Okay, times up! Put your rabbit on my desk to be graded" McGonagall said over the top of the noise.

Lily started panicking, she hadn't finished yet! "Convetre Elambre".

Nothing.

"Convetre Elambre" She looked up to see James pointing his wand at her feathery rabbit and to her amazement it looked like a normal, healthy, furry rabbit.

"Thanks!"

He shrugged and walked off.

As Lily walked out of class, she felt herself wondering if he'd forgiven her, but her question was soon answered when she spotted him walking down the hallway with his friends.

"James!" She called out.

Either he didn't' hear her, or he was ignoring her.

"James, wait up!" Lily ran up to catch up to him, she saw him talking to his friends quietly as they turned the corner. Lily quickly followed them around the corner when to her shock and annoyance, they were no where to be seen. She looked around, but to her surprise, it seemed that they had vanished into thin air! She sighed, I guess he's still mad, he seemed alright in class, but I wouldn't blame him, Lily thought to herself mournfully.

Another chapter! Yay! Okay...so it wasn't the best, but at least I updated XD.

Do you know what I'd really like? To get 100 reviews before I finish this fanfic, wink, wink, nudge, nudge

Hehe, but anyway! Hope you enjoyed this chapter, I'm starting school soon so, I might not update as quickly as I'd like, but hopefully I'll get another chapter up before school starts.

Cheers!
