A:N/ Alright, how many sorry's do I have to put in this author's note to make you all forgive me? I know it's wayyyy overdue. I know it's short. I know you hate me. (insert rude names for me here) it's just that last Sunday was my birthday and I had a project to do and all that jazz- very stressful. Then this week is exam week and I have review for my History Exam (Dear Lord save me!) and I've also been just lazy. I haven't even run in like forever. I know. I suck. I got it. I'd just like to send a special thank you to one JamesandLily394 for lighting a fire under my butt and calling out my ridiculous lateness. Thank you dear, you may have possibly saved this story...I was a little uninspired these past two weeks. Thank Merlin for you!
Thanks to:

For REVIEWING! DO IT AGAIN! It's like sunshine on a rainy day:)
I love you all and I'M SORRY!
Disclaimer- WOULD J.K ROWLING BE THIS LATE? I THINK NOT!
Lily shifted uncomfortably in her seat. Everybody's eyes were focused on her.
Of course, it wasn't unusual for a lack of paying attention in History of Magic- the teacher was dead after all. Something about witch hunters- who really cared? Lily shifted again as she felt a new set of eyes fall on her.
She knew the class was boring but this was bordering on ridiculous. It was getting on her last nerve! She wasn't a kicked puppy on the side of the road- what happened, happened. Over. Done. She honestly wasn't in the mood to remember it every twenty three seconds.
A piece of paper fluttered around the room and landed on her desk. Lily rolled her eyes, barely opened the note, and peeked inside. When she looked up from it she sighed and plastered a fake smile on her face. Her eyes roved the room for whoever sent the note
So glad you're back, we missed you!
Her eyes fell on a waving Sarah Perkins. Lily fought the urge to roll her eyes again. It was the seventh sympathy note she'd gotten- all from boys who liked her or blonde bimbos who wanted to know the now famous and popular Lily Evans.
Lily clenched her hand when another note landed on her desk. She took a few deep breaths and pushed her nose to her parchment and vigorously faked taking notes, feigning nonobservance when three more notes and a lily fell on her desk.
A lily. Really. How original.
Lily allowed herself to look up for a microsecond to see what idiot had given her that. White teeth temporarily blinded her and a pompous smile made her eyes widen and go cold.
Amos Diggory.
Lily nearly blew her top right then and there. Did he really think a lily was going to make her not want to kill him? She'd taken down death eaters and he thought he stood a chance?
Yeah. Sure. Did her hair turn blonde without her noticing?
Lily still hadn't removed her eyes from Diggory's face when he caused another note landed on her desk.
She picked it up deftly. It was folded to be a flower.
A lily.
Lily rolled her eyes again- she didn't like lilies. Everybody knew that! She thought it was corny and cheating to rip off her name.
She liked daffodils.
At first, she made to throw the note like a muggle basketball into the trash bin- but on second thought, she was kind of curious to see what this fool had to say about her.
Dear Lily-Flower,
Did you like my play on your name? I thought it was so sweet and it really summed up how much I care about you. I'd just like to apologize for the misunderstanding we had last night. I understand that you were tired and I'm sorry. I was just a little excited- you see you are so beautiful…my own personal Lily. I believe you were also in shock, you actually defend James Potter! You hate him Lily- surely they didn't hit you that hard! I think we can still be together- everybody knows we'd make beautiful babies.
All my love,
Amos Diggory
Lily felt bile rise to her mouth. My own personal Lily she read again. Surely they didn't hit you that hard!
Merlin's Wife's Bra.
Did he actually thing he still had a chance? Like she would take him back. Who the hell was he to act like he knew what she'd been through? He hadn't been there! The only person who actually understood it- well Amos trashed him pretty well.
A chance. He still thought he could get with her, like she was some slut that just had to have Amos freaking Diggory.
Maybe when Hell freezes over, Lily thought.
She took great pleasure in balling the note up and charming into zoom back at the person who sent it- except she may have slightly...miscalculated and hit Amos directly in the eye.
Well isn't that just a coinky-dink.
Lily crossed her arm and grumbled, glaring at the shocked Amos clutching his eye and moaning.
Suddenly a large warm hand darted out from beside her and tugged her arm from her chest.
James grasped her hand and squeezed gently. Lily sighed and leaned into him.
Yeah, I'll make beautiful babies she thought.
Just not with you.
James glared as Amos Diggory shamelessly ogled Lily. He was so jealous he thought he was going to scream- but he didn't think Lily would appreciate him drawing even more attention to her direction than she was already getting, so he went back to glaring at the people staring at Lily with pity.
Clearly they didn't know her at all.
A few minutes later, James couldn't help but look back towards Amos Diggory.
He stifled a laugh.
A lily? He'd sent her a folded lily note? How thick could you get? Anybody who really knew Lily knew she hated being giving things that tied in with her name- she thought it was cheating to use such an obvious idea.
James stifled another wave of giggles. He'd known that since second year! Why in the name of Merlin's throbbing finger did Diggory think he could be with Lily if he didn't even know her favorite flower?
James saw Lily open the note, and unable to resist, he read over her shoulder.
Dear Lily-Flower,
Did you like my play on your name? I thought it was so sweet and it really summed up how much I care about you. I'd just like to apologize for the misunderstanding we had last night. I understand that you were tired and I'm sorry. I was just a little excited- you see you are so beautiful…my own personal Lily. I believe you were also in shock, you actually defend James Potter!

All my love,
Amos Diggory
James almost jumped him right then and there. First of all- only he could call Lily, Lily-Flower... well and Sirius but whatever. Second, well the whole damn note was second! Care about you? Misunderstanding? Over excited?
Yeah it was a misunderstanding when you practically tried to rape her! James' face contorted and he could see his friends tensing up for a fight.
But what really pissed him off was my own personal flower.
What the hell? He thought. Why would he possibly think that? Lily is SO taken- by me!
And babies. BABIES. Whenever James thought about his future children they all had green eyes or red hair.
He had always hoped Lily imagined them like that too.
Every piece of that note just made James want to wring Diggory's neck. He glanced at Lily to see how she had taken the note- a feeling of dread quickly filled him...she didn't like it would she?
James almost laughed with delight when he saw the look of absolute rage on her face. He gave a huge smile when she sent the note back, straight into Diggory's eye.
She'd hated it! She was absolutely revolted by it!
James smiled again and pulled out his wand. Under the table he non-verbally charmed a piece of paper he'd written on into a daffodil and sneaked it into Lily's bag so she could find it later. He grabbed her hand and grinned even wider when she leaned into him.
Later, as they were walking to Transfiguration, a though struck James.
"Lily" he said to the small girl ruffling through her bag.
"Yes" she said distractedly.
"You weren't writing notes in History of Magic were you?"
Lily looked up and smiled mischievously.
"No James, I wasn't" James looked at her, confused.
"Well than what were you writing?" Lily smiled gleefully and started swinging their entwined hands back and forth.
"Oh, just the best ways to go about castrating Amos Diggory" she said loud enough, just so the very same boy could hear them.
James laughed as he ran away in terror.
"I love you Lily Evans" he said.
"I love you to James- but if you ever send me a note like that I won't hesitate to castrate you too"
REVIEW. I LOVE YOU. SORRY.
