3rd year finally came around the corner.

James looked around anxiously.

Lily's POV

I groaned angrily, my face buried in my hands. How did I get into this mess?

John is a user. Like, he uses me.

Suddenly, I felt a whirl, I heard ripples…

THE FUTURE?! THIRD POINT OF VIEW

James seemed to be writing while Professor Flitwick was doing something…?

He was embellishing a set of initials.

The room exploded with laughter and chatter as the scene changed…

Lily managed to get a glimpse of the initials.

L.E.

It had a heart around it.

What did it stand for?

James gave Sirius the thumbs up.

The scene finally changed.

"I'm bored," said Sirius as the Marauders walked out.

Lily felt a new loathing for Peter.

In a flash, Lily noticed…

Snape was hanging upside down by his underwear.

James kept glancing towards the girls at the lake.

He's dirt, Lily, she reminded herself.

Then she saw herself.

She was shocked at how pretty she was then, and how big her eyes were.

The second Lily2 from the future appeared, James seemed a new person.

He kept his wand raised, but it faltered.

He flashed her a smile, a grin so huge Snape seemed to wobble in the air. Maybe he did.

"What are you doing, Potter?"

Lil's voice was cold as an iceberg.

James shoulders didn't slump. He kept his head (cool). He just laughed.

Lily from the future was furious. Her eyes flashed, daring him to laugh again. This time James was more sensible.

Just a little.

"How you doin', Evans?"

Lily-reaL now Lily-shuddered.

"I'm doing very well, thank you. Are you deaf, also? 'Cause I told you to cut it out."

"Fine."

James' wand jerked.

Snape fell down, down, down.

"You're lucky Evans was here, Snivellus," James rolled his eyes.

"I don't need a Mudblood like her to help me!"

Snape's voice rang alarmingly loud in Lily's ears.

Oh god.

"Apologize to Evans immediately!"

James rounded up on Snape.

"You don't have to stand up for me! You're just as arrogant as he is!"

Lily shouted loudly, then walked away muttering loudly and angrily.

Lily1 thought she saw James' shoulders slump then.

JAME's POV

I felt a hand grasp my shoulder.

Lily.

She started to rant loudly at me.

"How could you, Potter," she cried.

I cocked my head and raised an eyebrow.

"All I've done was come downstairs, ate breakfast, and hexed Sirius. And I'm Potter?"

I spun my Snitch on my finger in a show-offy manner.

Apparently, I definitely didn't say the right thing-and that wasn't the right thing to do either.

Lily's eyes flashed angrily at me, and she spun around on her heal.

I knew I had to read her mind now.

No…

She saw my future.

I know now.

I was a stuck up jerk.

Well, I still-I mean- I am.

I gotta improve.

Nope, can't do it.

Mind's empty.

I promptly breathed hard.

I can't believe it.

Lily's Pov

It doesn't make sense. I'm so mean there.

Oh, well. I was pretty mean to James a minute ago there.

I chewed my dark red hair nervously, and crossed my heart with my fingers.

What does L.E. with a heart around it stand for, anyways?

L.E.
