Author's Note -In the bottom A/N I will be answering an anonymous review I have received, I know it's my sister, so, Elicia, if you want to see my reply, make sure to check it out. I updated really qiuck today!! :D I am proud, but also not-so-proud, as it is kind of disappointing, to say that this is the longest chapter in the story so far. xD

May 27, 1977

-x-

Sirius whistled, "Someone's got a bit of a temper, eh?"

James just ignored him, wondering what had gotten Lily upset.

-x-

When Alice, Sylvia, and Erin walked into their dorm they found Lily, her face buried in her pillow, wrapped up in her red and gold comforter.

Alice sighed, "What now, Lily? And why weren't you at classes? We haven't seen you since Friday evening!"

Sylvia snatched the blanket off of Lily and Erin forced her to sit up.

Lily's face was red , blotchy, and slightly puffy around her eyes.

Alice, her voice softer, asked, "What's wrong, Lily?"

"I'm a h-horrible, horrible person and I was terrible to James for n-no reason and it f-felt like nothing had c-changed for a minute and I probably hurt his f-feelings." Lily replied, trying to hold back her sobs.

"Wow," Sylvia commented, "who would've ever thought that Lily would be crying over hurting James Potter'sfeelings?"

Alice gave her a look that clearly said 'That's not helping!'

Alice turned her attention back to Lily, "What did you say?"

Lily recounted everything that had happened in the past two days, leaving out how James got hurt, of course. By the end, Lily was crying again over her own stupidity.

"Aw, Lily!" Alice said, engulfing her in a hug.

"But if you guys are friends now, why did you say that?" Erin piped up, questioningly.

Lily sobbed harder, "I d-don't know! I was embarrassed and it f-felt like I h-hated him again and I d-don't know why!"

Sylvia sighed, "I think you're in denial!" she said in a sing-song voice.

"D-denial of what?" Lily asked, mystified.

"Well, duh! You like James and you were embarrassed because--"

She was interrupted by a raging Lily, "I do not like James that way! We. Are. Just. Friends."

"She's getting too defensive for someone who doesn't like James," Sylvia stage whispered to Erin, perfectly audibly.

"Whatever, you guys." She stomped off to the bathrooms to see if she could make her face less red and blotchy.

Once Lily had left the room, Alice whispered, "I agree with you guys," before the three girl erupted in giggles.

When Lily decided that she had done all she could, she stomped out of the dorm yelling "I'll be in the library!" before disappearing out of their sight.

She had almost made it out of the common room without incident, but when she went to exit the Portrait Hole, it swung towards her, successfully knocking her to the ground, possibly breaking her nose, and hitting her head quite hard on the floor.

Muttering a few swear words that she had picked up from her sister's boyfriend, Vernon, she pulled her wand out of her pocket ready to hex whoever had opened the door.

To her surprise, she found herself aiming her wand at a very surprised James Potter, a scowling Sirius Black, and an apologetic Remus Lupin.

"You're bleeding," James said stupidly.

"Really?" Lily asked, gingerly touching her swelling nose, her hand coming back with streaks of blood on it, "Oh, well, I suppose I am."

James, suddenly realizing that Lily was still on the ground, tentatively held out a hand to help her up.

Accepting the kind gesture, Lily gently pulled herself up.

"You have to go to the Hospital Wing, come on." James said.

"Okay, fine." Lily said reluctantly, she had never really liked the Hospital Wing and normally tried to avoid it at all costs.

Lily walked silently as James led her through the nearly deserted hallways.

When they arrived at the Hospital Wing, James followed Lily inside, earning a questioning look.

He shrugged, "Got a favor to repay."

Lily blushed scarlet at this, while James called for Madame Pomfrey, politely ignoring her blushing face.

He led her over to one of the beds while waiting for the healer.

Lily sighed.

"Something wrong?" James asked.

"Stop being so nice to me! You're making me feel like a horrid cow!"

James raised one eyebrow, "Would you rather I be mean to you?"

"Well, no, but stop being so nice! I was mean to you and you're just acting like it didn't happen."

"Lily, I don't care that you lost your temper and I don't really care why, unless you really hate me, and in that case, I will leave if you would like."

"Forgiven?" she asked quietly.

James grinned, "Definitely."

Lily sighed with relief. "Thanks. For forgiving me and bringing me here."

"Well, it was my fault you got hurt anyway, so it was the least I could do."

Then Lily remembered something, "Sirius hates me, doesn't he?"

James sighed, "Well, you know, hateis such a strong word and all, but kinda, yeah." he said the last part quickly after Lily had raised an impatient eyebrow.

Lily sighed also, "I don't blame him." She looked straight at James, "You should hate me."

"What? After one little comment?"

"No, almost six years worth of nasty comments."

James just smiled, "Lil, all is forgiven. Don't worry about it."

"Fine," Lily said, as the healer finally came out of her office.

She glanced at Lily and then said to James, "What happened?"

"The common room door hit her and she fell and hit her head." James said quickly.

"Oh, well then, nose is broken, that's easily fixed," she started, muttering a spell that Lily immediately felt remove the swelling and fix her nose, then Madame Pomfrey muttered another spell, this on of which cleaned the blood from her face. "Now, you're going to have to stay over night to make sure you do not have any other injuries, James, you'll be staying with her, correct?" she asked.

James nodded.

"Okay then, sleep well, and James, make sure to tell me if she has any disorientation, headaches, slurring of words, et cetera." she handed Lily a small vile, "Take that potion, it will make you fall asleep easier."

James nodded again.

When the healer had disappeared back into her office, James sat down in one of the many chairs, laying his feet on another.

Lily gulped down the potion and immediately began to feel drowsy. The last thing she heard before falling asleep was James' soft whisper of, "Goodnight, my sweet Lily Flower."
