The Sorting took place and then they finally got to eat to Sirius's relief. Lily as sitting next to James and many girls looked on enviously. Lily, however, thought of James as nothing more, but a friend.

Snape wasn't happy with the little group because of their constant pranks on him. He hated them all except for Lily who he thought was a little cute. Her friends constantly teased the way Snape followed Lily around like a lovesick puppy. James never made fun of her though about Snape. He didn't like at all the way that Snape looked at Lily.

"According to my list, tonight we are supposed to put a swelling potion in Snape's pumpkin juice," announced Sirius in the Gryffindor common room.
"All right. This will be fun," said James. He started gathering the ingredients.
"Maybe we should try it on Malfoy," said Lily, watching from a squashy chair near the fire. Then she realized her absent-minded mistake.
"Are you protecting your little Snapey-Wapey?" Sirius said laughing.
"No!! I just meant it's getting a little boring doing it to Snape all the time. Whatever we can still do it to him."
James didn't say anything.

Could she like Snape? James thought. Nah. Can't be.
He wondered why he felt jealous.

That night a few students at the Gryffindor house table were watching a certain student at the Slytherin house table anxiously.
Snape picked up his pumpkin drink and drank. When he put the cup back down, his lips were the size of half his head. He didn't know what was wrong.
Lily, James, Remus, Sirius, and Peter burst out in laughter. Tears of laughter streamed down Lily's face. A few Slytherins were stifling laughter behind their hand and Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students were pointing at Snape. Snape ran out of the Great Hall. Some teachers caught this incident, but decided to let Snape take care of it. After all, he was excellent at potions.
When the Great Hall calmed down, Sirius, Lily, James, Peter, and Remus snuck out to look for Snape. They found him in an empty classroom. They peered in and saw Snape muttering angrily to himself with his oversized mouth and Lily let out a stifled laugh which sounded like a squeak.
Snape looked up and saw Lily before she could run. He stopped muttering.
"Lily," was all he said.
Lily cautiously walked in the classroom after seeing James and crew suppressing laughs.
"Lily, how come you guys always try to humiliate me. Just leave me alone!" Snape said, staring at her intensely.
"Uhhh... Sorry Sna..Uh. Severus. We were only kidding around," Lily said, of lack of anything else to say.
"Well, I wish you wouldn't," said Snape, looking out the door to make sure no one was listening. He obviously didn't because he went on.
"I was kinda hoping you'd stop because..well...maybe we could do something sometime," said Snape looking everywhere but at Lily.
"What??? I...uhhh....sure, Snape. I mean Severus," Lily said shocked.
"Great," exclaimed Snape, looking ecstatic. Then he calmed down and said, "I mean, cool."
Lily nodded and walked out of the classroom. Immediately, four angry boys followed her.
"How could you?" asked Sirius, furious.
"He's a Slytherin," said Peter quietly.
"Are you really going to?" asked Remus.
James just grunted.
"Well, he looked so bad that I just had to. I think we're too mean to him. He's okay," said Lily, looking kind of mad.
"Whatever," said Sirius. He walked away. Remus shrugged and muttered something about homework and followed Sirius. Peter glared at Lily and stuck his tongue out at Lily, immaturely. He stumbled after Remus. James just stood there.
"You, uh, like Snape?" James asked nervously.
"No. I just felt bad for him," Lily answered.
"Well, okay then," James said awkwardly.
They both walked rather quickly back to their common rooms.

Snape found Lily later in the library with James. Snape was still oblivious to his lips, having not being told because every one thought it was funny. And he never looked in a mirror anyway for obvious reasons.
Snape led Lily to an empty aisle. James quietly followed to listen. He hid in another aisle.
Lily and Snape small-talked for a while, the whole time Lily trying not to laugh at his swelled mouth.
It became too much when Snape tried to kiss her. Lily pulled away, disgusted and shocked when she saw too huge lips blocking her view. An angry noise was heard in the next aisle. And Snape looked embarrassed. Lily quickly said she had to finish her homework and ran on the verge of laughing.
She saw James and realized he had been spying.
"James," she said indignantly.
James looked furious. "Let's get away from that slimeball and pulled Lily out of the library by her elbow.
"Don't go near him. He's trouble," James demanded.
"Shut up. You're too overprotective," Lily said angrily.
"Well, I hafta be when you hang around filth like him," James said loudly.
"I can make my own decisions. You're acting like a brother," said Lily.
"Well, I am kinda. Or I wish...uhh......just don't go anywhere with him," James ordered.
"Well, now I think I will," said Lily stubbornly. She turned on her heel and walked off stubbornly.

James watched her leave. He felt guilty, mad, and jealous. He could see why he was guilty because he got on a fight with Lily. He could also see mad, because he was angry at Snape. But jealous? Maybe because if Lily went out with Snape (which she wouldn't, he added) she wouldn't be able to spend as much time with him. He loved hanging out with her.
He just wished she wouldn't go anywhere with Snape and especially...ugg...that she wouldn't kiss him.

Lily went to Hogsmeade with Snape that weekend and had a completely boring time which she of course didn't mention to James. All he talked about was things like homework and potions. She had to keep herself from yawning. She finally got home late and collapsed into bed, ready for sleep. She supposed she fell asleep because she started hearing these voices...
