She enjoyed talking to him. They could discuss anything and everything. She found his conversation refreshing. His opinions were refreshing and he liked to debate with her.

A look of hurt came into his eyes so quickly and left just as fast that lily couldn't be sure she even saw it. Taking her advice as a hint that she didn't want him around he stated, "Your right let me go see Marsha, have a good night." He said, " I hope you have fun with your books." He added spitefully, hurt that she didn't want him to around her.

A hurt look came into her eyes, but quickly changed to anger. James saw this and felt she deserved it. If she doesn't want me here she coulda just said that he thought to himself. "Snotty know it all" he muttered as he got up to leave

"Idiot, I heard you. You giant slug" Lily retorted as he stomped out of the room.

She heard the portrait door swing shut and the slight click that it made was so loud it made lily jump. She looked around and listened. No one was in the tower but her and the silence was starting to close in on her. She went up to her room and got ambers radio and tuned it in to the Witching Hour for noise. Then she turned back to her work.

But she was unable to work. Her thoughts kept going back to James. Was the look that came into his eyes really there or did she just imagine it? He had gotten harsh with her and that was new. But she hadn't let that get her. She had seen many a girl and quite a few boys cower to James when he used that voice, but she Lily Evans was made of stronger stuff. Since she had been here she had earned the reputation of one who took no shit. She didn't like to see others picked on or tormented, which is not to say she didn't have fun she just made sure that it wasn't in a mean and malicious manner. She stuck up for the under dog often in blistering diatribes to the offending party. Afterwards she was seen soothing the offended and making them feel better usually with a laugh. She always had a kind word for everyone, even those who had been subject to her temper. But James had just made her mad tonight. All though she was unsure how, she should have explained herself. She decided that when he got back, she would apologize.

As if he thoughts had made it happen she heard the portrait door open. The sound of four voices, made her stop from calling out his name.

"Hi Lily" they said all at once.

"Hi guys," she said with a laugh

"Look, I'm not feeling well I think I'm going to see Madame Pomfrey. I have a headache," said Remus looking at Sirius. "I'll see you later." And he left.

"Where's James, Lily? Is he in our room?" Sirius asked

"No he went to see that Hufflepuff girl, what's her name." Said Lily acidly

"Oh okay, I'm going up to my room, good night" he replied drooping the subject. Planting a quick kiss on ambers up turned lips he left.

"Okay, I'm going to bed see y'all in the morning," said Nicole

She left the room and went upstairs. Amber looked at Lily for a long time finally opening hr mouth to say something then shutting it again, as if not knowing how to approach her. Finally " Are you alright Lily?" she asked, "Did you need to talk" Amber was Lily's claming influence. Nothing got to that girl, and she was always willing to talk. But right now Lily wasn't in the mood to talk " I'm fine," she snapped waspishly; she just wanted to be alone. Amber understood immediately and went upstairs. Lily looked out the window it was a clear bright night, a full moon. Then something clicked and she figured out why Remus was always sick once a month. He's a werewolf, she wouldn't tell anyone ever. She'd talk with Remus, after the full moon and that would be all.
