A/N: Sorry it took so long to get this next part out, but I gave up on it for awhile. I think I still might, it just depends. I guess that's all for now. Oh yeah, in this chapter I explain why Lily's pissed and the whole thing is in their seventh year.
***
Lily was still sulking when her best friend Maria Reynolds came in the dorm.
"I hate Frank Longbottom!" she said in exasperated tone.
"What's he done now?" Lily questioned, trying not to laugh. Maria had a way of immediately cheering Lily up, no matter how mad she was.
Lily loved to make fun of Frank and Maria's relationship. They were as opposite as night and day. Maria was loud and had been known to have quite an attitude, while Frank was shy and preferred to blend into the crowd. From day one of their relationship Lily had joked around, saying it would never last.
Lily and Maria had been best friends since their first year, and were well known for their strange sense of humor. Anyone who didn't know them would have thought they hated each other by the way they made fun of each other constantly. But those who knew them knew that was just their idea of a normal conversation.
"Nothing!" Maria groaned. "It's always nothing. It's like he's scared of me! After two months of dating, he still won't make the first move, and I'm about ready to go crazy!"
"First of all Maria, think about it. He probably is scared of you. I know I am. And second of all, keep your hormones in check, you horny animal!"
"Lily don't joke! I really like Frank!" Maria exclaimed.
She paused for a second then said slowly, "Did I just tell you not to joke? See, Frank really has driven me crazy. Where would the world be if Lily Evans didn't make fun of every comment I said?"
Lily pouted. "I do not make fun of you! I simply point out he stupidity of some of the things you say. What's wrong with that? It makes you into a better person!" she said with a cheesy grin.
"Whatever." Maria said, rolling her eyes. "Why are you up here anyway? I thought you would be in the nearest broom closet snogging with Amos Diggory."
"Just because you caught us in the broom closet one time doesn't mean that's the only place we ever do it, Maria." Lily said, heavily. "And I'm up here because I'm pissed at the world right now."
"Ah, what has James done now?" Maria said knowingly.
"James? Now what has he got to do with this?" Lily sniffed. "And I don't know about you, but I'm starved. Let's go eat, shall we my dear?"
The Great Hall was full of students already sitting down, talking to friends and eating. Lily and Maria joined Rachel O'Brien; her boyfriend for two years, Michael Brown; his best friend Peter Patil; and Meagan Phelps. This had been the group Lily had hung out with for as long as she could remember. Lily couldn't imagine life at Hogwarts without them.
Rachel, Maria, Meagan, and Lily had become inseparable in their first year on the train ride to Hogwarts. Maria had long black hair, pale skin, and glittering black eyes that always seemed to sparkle with laughter. She and Lily both shared the trait to find the amusement in even the saddest situations. While it was comforting at times, they had a tendency to dig themselves into holes with their dry sense of humor. They had quickly become best friends, while Rachel and Meagan had paired off with each other too. Rachel had long blonde hair, sea green eyes, and was extremely tall for her age. She was a worrywart at times and always the voice of logic when Maria and Lily had a somewhat outlandish plan. Meagan was from Ireland, but lacked the Irish temper that so commonly matched up with their personalities. When anyone from the group got riled up, Meagan was usually the one who could calm everyone down. She was almost as short as Lily, and had the look of an innocent schoolgirl, with her curly brown hair, round, royal blue eyes, and dimpled cheeks.
"Where have you two been?" Peter asked, spraying Lily with mashed potatoes.
"Thanks Peter, that's just what I needed after the day I've been having." She said, smiling sardonically.
"Your welcome, Oh the Queen of Sarcasm. Now where have you two been?"
"I've been sulking because Frank's a prat, and Lily's been sulking because she's 'pissed at the world'." Maria supplied, piling her plate with food.
"What did James do to piss you off this time?" Rachel said, grinning.
Rachel had a bet going with Michael that Lily and James would get together by the end of the year, and she was constantly telling Lily how perfect they were for each other.
"Why does everyone think this has to do with Potter?" Lily moaned.
"Because, honey, it always does." Meagan said.
Lily scowled and looked down the table where James was sitting with his best friends Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew, and his girlfriend of the week, Briana Childs. Lily and James were both known for their 'love am then leave em' personality, and neither of them had had a relationship lasting over a week. All the guys chased after Lily hoping to be the guy that would outlast a week, possibly even two. While Lily claimed she was just having fun by not commiting herself to just one boy, Rachel claimed that Lily was just plain commitment shy. Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, and James Potter were on every girls list of most eligible bachelors. They were constantly flanked by a group of girls wherever they went, and all three of the boys thought girls were there for one thing and one thing only.
"Are you going to tell us what he did, Lily, or are we going to have to ask him ourselves?" Meagan asked.
"Ok, I'll tell you." Lily grumbled. "After Transfiguration I was talking to Brian, trying to figure out a good way to break up with him when James comes over and starts talking to Brian, telling him that it's been 6 days since me and Brian started going out, and that I'm probably fixing to break it off with him. Well, somehow he got me telling Brian that I really like him, and now Brian's all happy. Ugh. This sucks. I do not want to go out with Brian anymore, but if I break up with him now I'll be doing just what James wants me to. And I'm not about to give him the satisfaction of that."
Maria was practically rolling with laughter. "I love James! Only he could come up with something so genius. Lily's going to be going out with guy for me then a week because of him! All of Hogwarts will have a field day when they here about this! It'll make history!"
Lily scowled at her supposedly best friend. "How did I know that would be your reaction to all this?"
"Aw, come on Lily. Just break it off with Brian. It won't be so bad."
"I can't! Brian thinks I really like him now. I don't want to be mean. I'm not that big of a bitch."
"Well, your gonna have to tell him sometime or another, and considering he's coming over here right now, there's know time like the present." Peter said.
"No!" Lily groaned, making a face. But when she turned around to look at Brian Finnigan, she gave him her most charming smile.
"Lily, I think we need to talk." Brian said, seriously.
Lily looked scared out of her mind as she got up to talk to Brian privately.
***
James watched Lily as she walked out of the Great Hall with Brian. His earlier encounter with the two of them had been quite entertaining. The look of torture in Lily's eyes when she had told Brian she really liked him had been hilarious. And little did Lily know that when Lily had left he had had a little chat with Brian himself. He had a pretty good idea what Brian wanted to talk to Lily about. He didn't know why he felt the need to tamper with Lily's love life. He, like all the other guys in their school found Lily hot, with her long auburn hair, always cut in the most fashionable style, and her huge, emerald green eyes. She was shorter than most girls her age, but lacked nothing in the chest department, a major factor in how James picked his girlfriends. But the two of them had never really gotten along since their third year when he had "accidentally" set fire to her robes.
James watched Lily come back into the Great Hall. He couldn't help noticing she looked extremely calm. Had his plan not worked?
***
Lily couldn't believe it. She was going to kill James Potter. Out of all the things she had expected Brian to say to her, what he had said had sent her into a rage. Apparently James had not only gotten her to tell Brian that she liked him, but when Lily had left he had told Brian that Lily was secretly having a love affair with Severus Snape. Brian had broken up with her. Her. Lily Evans. Lily was in shock. In all her years at Hogwarts, not once had a guy ever broken up with her. She had been ready to burst into the Hall and kill James Potter(and possibly Snape too, simply because the thought of having a love affair with him was disgusting), when a she realized there had to be a way to totally humiliate James without losing her temper, as she so often did. She calmly walked back to her seat, being careful not to so much as glance at James. She ignored her friends questions about what Brian had wanted, lost in thought. What could she do to get revenge on James' stunt?
A/N: So what can Lily do, cause I sure as heck don't know. I'm not sure this story is even worth continuing. Tell me what you think.
