Coffee, another ball, & rings

The next day, Lily woke up from a squeal that was so loud that she could have sworn someone was attacking her. And right she was because Mary-Kate, Amy, and Alice were standing by her bed shaking her awake.

"Lily wake up! It's 7 and we have class in half an hour!" cried Alice.

Lily sat bolt upright and smacked her head on the headboard. She cursed and rubbed her head angrily.

"How did you guys get in here?" asked Lily, getting up and getting changed.

"Oh that was easy, James told all of us," said Amy shrugging. Lily cursed again and swore she'd get him tonight for giving out the password. She had half a mind to change it without telling him.

"So anyway, guess what happened last night Lily?" said Mary-Kate. "Come on, guess! Guess!"

"Potter asked you out?" replied Lily wearily.

"Yeah! – Wait, how'd you know?" asked Mary-Kate surprised.

Lily didn't feel like telling them the real reason. "Intuition."

They walked down the stairs and to the Great Hall to grab some toast before class.

"Oh, that's right, NEWT schedules!" cried Lily excitedly. The others rolled their eyes as she anxiously roamed her list of classes and their times.

"Potions, D.A.D.A, Care of Magical Creatures, lunch, Charms, Transfiguration, then Herbology," said Lily, memorizing her schedule. "Oh good, Alice you have the same schedule!" They high-five and grabbed a piece of toast each.

"OY! Lilster, you'll high-five Smith but not me?" asked James, acting mock affronted.

"DON'T call me Lilster, Potter," said Lily sharply.

"Why? Are you still upset about last night?" asked James.

"What happened last night?" asked Sirius, grabbing some eggs and bacon and winking at James.

"Oh I told Lily I was asking out Mary-Kate and now she's jealous and feels bad that she rejected me so many times while she still had a chance."

"Potter you arse! I am not jealous and certainly not feeling bad I rejected you," said Lily hotly. "If I feel bad it's only because Mary-Kate is stuck dating a asshead like you!"

Mary-Kate blushed and glared at Lily.

"She said yes though didn't she?" pointed out James.

"Probably only so you wouldn't be rejected by more than one girl in the school!"

"You're a girl Evans?"

Lily took her cup of coffee and poured it on James head than stomped out of the hall leaving everyone in the Great Hall shocked.

"EOW! That burns!" cried James.

"Aguamenti," said Professor Dumbledore, standing up and shooting water out of his wand on James. They Slytherin table exploded with laughter until Dumbledore silenced them.

"Man, looks like Lily's back to hating you mate," said Sirius.

"Serves him right," muttered Remus, earning a glare from James.

Lily was so furious she didn't even pay her usual attention in any of her classes today and probably got a zero in each. Potter made her so mad. He kissed her, numerous times, offers to be her tutor, then goes and gets a girlfriend and not just any but one of her friends. It just goes to show you, you can't choose your classmates. Lily didn't even acknowledge when Mary-Kate kept begging to talk to her about this whole "situation". As far as Lily was concerned, there was no "situation". In fact, there was nothing, nothing between her and Potter and she was stupid to get worked up over nothing. Her parents wouldn't be happy if she was miserable and Mr. Potter, who had been like a second father, wouldn't want any of them to be unhappy either.

"Hey Evans!" said James obviously unbothered by the incident that morning. "Slow down!"

"What do you possibly want Potter?" inquired Lily, seething with rage.

He looked at her apprehensively as if she'd pour coffee on him again.

"I was just wondering… should we have a meeting with the Prefects? You know, to discuss the idea Dumbledore had?"

This did not improve Lily's mood.

"Fine." She took out a ring from her pocket and put it on. James looked closer and realized it had a date on it. Today's date.

"What's that?" he asked curiously.

"Shut up, I'm trying to concentrate."

He kept quiet and waited for her to finish what she was doing.

"There, come on we need to get to the Meeting Room," said Lily. She ran off in the other direction with James on her heels.

"What are we doing?" asked James, gaining on her.

"Man, Quidditch much really make you fit," thought Lily panting. "I thought I told you to shut up Potter?"

"You did," agreed James, smirking. "Doesn't mean I'll listen to you."

She growled but ignored him and opened the door to find it full of the Prefects.

"Excellent, I see you all kept your rings on as I told you," said Lily, smiling around the room.

"Will you now tell me please what's going on?" asked James irritated.

A few girls giggled and Lily closed her eyes before she replied, begging for patience.

"For when we have unannounced meetings such as now," explained Lily through gritted teeth, "I put a Protean Charm on it so when I type in when and where I want the meeting it'll burn on everyone's finger."

James looked impressed. As is expected seeing as this is very advanced magic.

"Do you know what this reminds me of? The Death Eaters mark," answered James when everyone shrugged. "Voldemort touches his on his arm and it burns telling them that they have to report to him. My father told me it once…" he trailed off looking confused.

"Anyway," said Lily, hastily changing the subject, "the reason I called you all was because we needed to discuss what everyone wants to do for the social event this year."

Everyone suddenly looked interested.

"Let's do nothing!" said one boring Slytherin boy.

"Let's have a masquerade," suggested a curly haired Hufflepuff girl.

"Nah, too over done," said James and the others agreed.

"Oh! I've got it," said Lily excitedly. "How about on Halloween we have a ball where you have to dress up as a Muggle movie star?"

"I like it!" said James and everyone snickered.

"Big surprise," muttered a 6th year Ravenclaw and James glared at him.

"All right, I'll tell Professor Dumbledore and the we can decorate on Hallows Eve," said Lily. "Okay, meeting adjourned."

They all got up and started walking back to their dormitories followed by a silent James and Lily.

"So, I bet that the Head Boy and Girl will have to dance," said James, turning to Lily.

Lily turned sharply towards him.

"If you say anything suggesting – " she began.

"I'll make sure to save you a dance," said James and walked off leaving Lily confused, just the way he liked it.

A/N: I know shorter than my usual. Sorry, but my mother was telling me I had to get to bed because it was "late". Whatever, I'll type tomorrow and brainstorm tonight while I'm lying in bed. I'm just cool like that. :D

K, peace!
