Lily's Story, Part Two

Lily Evans sighed as she rounded the corner to where Robert Rosier had said they'd have their Wizard's Duel. James was already waiting there.

"Finally, you actually got here, Redhead!" he exclaimed.

"My name is Lily, okay? Lil-y. L-I-L-Y. LILY!"

"Chill out," said James. "I get it, I get it!"

Lily sighed. "So where's Robert?"

"Do I look like I know?" asked James exasperatedly.

"I wasn't talking to you!"

"So, now you're talking to yourself?" James smirked.

"Would you just SHUT UP!!!!" Lily said in the loudest whisper she could muster.

All of a sudden, one of Lily's two new best friends, Christina Neilson, rounded the corner.

"You guys!" she exclaimed. "That keeper of the keys guy? Hagrid? He let a faery loose in the school!"

"A faery?" Lily asked. "They exist?"

"Yeah...but... well, if you've ever read a muggle book about them, they're all sweet and nice, right?" asked Christina.

"Yeah!" said Lily.

"Well..." Christina trailed off. "Real faeries are evil, REALLY evil! We have to get up to our dormatories!"

Lily raised an eyebrow at her friend and James burst into fits of laughter.

"Attack of the killer faeries!" James exclaimed. "No one is safe...everyone take COVER!"

Christina grabbed Lily and James's hands and started dragging them. "Come on, Robert isn't even going to show up anyway, I saw him run back to his dormatory when I was coming down for you guys."

Lily, Christina, Lily's other friend Tai Aames, James, and James's three friends Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew sat in a circle in the Gryffindor common room. James yawned and streched.

"I gotta go to bed," he said. "G'night, everyone!"

After James left, Sirius commented: "Especially Lily."

Lily laughed. "Oh yeah, James SO likes me, you're right! NOT."

Sirius and Remus exchanged glances. "But...he does like you, Lily," Remus said.

Lily rolled her eyes. "That's ridiculous. If he liked me, he'd be nice to me."

Sirius sighed. "Well, I TRIED to tell them that, but he thinks flirting is teasing a girl."

Lily looked back and forth between Sirius and Remus. "You guys are serious, aren't you?"

"Hey," said Sirius. "Sirius is always serious!"

Lily giggled. "Well, I'm heading to bed too...good night, everyone!"
