*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_ Lily hurried to the Ladies; she needed to calm down.
She stared at her reflection in the mirror over the sink: the usual red hair, flawless skin and green eyes, but her face was flushed and her eyes sparked angrily.
'Why James Potter?' she thought furiously, 'of all the wizards they had to choose from, they chose HIM.'
Realizing that she was making herself angrier, she stopped fuming and breathed (In.Out-In.Out-In.Out). She was on the verge of calming down, when the memories of their school-days came flooding back, the rivalries, the arguments, the shouting matches. One of the worst fights were when they had been made Head-Boy and Head-Girl, having to work together so much had been aggravating and James delighted in teasing her at every turn. Apparently, he hadn't changed.
She splashed her face with water. She gazed at her reflection again, her face was pale now, but her eyes were still stormy. As much as she didn't want to, she knew that she had to go back. Breathing deeply, she headed out of the door.
She entered quietly; James had his back to her and seemed engrossed in some papers tacked on the bulletin board.
"So, Evans." said James, "You've won the 'Employee of the Month' award four times in a row, impressive."
Lily started, "Why are you reading that?" she demanded.
"Well, I want to learn as much about my new partner as possible." He answered innocently, ".lets see, excluding what I just said, you seem to have won 'Most Hardworking Witch Ever' three times in 5 months, 'Best Tea Maker' two times and 'Most Punctual Worker' five ti-"
"Shut up!" Lily broke in harshly, "Just because you won 'Order of Merlin' doesn't mean you have to crow over me."
"True." James conceded, "by the way, it was 'Order of Merlin, Second Class."
"Second Class?" Lily's eyes narrowed, "for what?"
"Oh, this and that." James said carelessly, ".I wouldn't want to brag about it, you know me: the epitome of modesty."
"Hah!" Lily snorted derisively, "All those times that you strutted around because you won a game of Quidditch, when you-"
"Still living in the past, Evans?" James smirked, "I knew you liked being Head-Girl, but bringing that to the office? I bet you have your badge pinned somewhere."
Lily flushed and said with clenched teeth, "James Potter, I always knew you were the worst scum on earth."
"I knew that too" James gushed, "I'm sure I have a prize for that somewhere."
"You immature rat-"
"Why, thank you, but incidentally, I'm the stag, Peter was the rat."
"And you're lucky you were never caught." Lily raged on, "You and Sirius."
".were your most entertaining and delightful friends." James got down on his knees and said in a pleading voice, "You know, Evans, we worshipped you, our whole lives were spent in abject admiration of you and ."
Lily let out a tirade of abuse.
James seemed surprised, "Such profanity!" he clasped his hands together, "Can I quote that in our article?"
"It's not 'our' article, it's my article with your name on it!"
James shrugged, "If that's how you feel, fine, I'll still get that fat paycheck that the enchanting Ms Oron promised me."
"I always knew you were a good-for-nothing!" she called after him as he sauntered out of the room.
He stuck his head back in, "That's why you're here, isn't it, Evans?" He winked at her and withdrew.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_* How's that? James is living up to his reputation and Lily is absolutely floundering. Wadya think?
