The next three days went by slowly. James and Lily successfully avoided each other and sat as far away from the others during classes. Everyone started getting tired of the Slytherin newsletter and it became old news because neither Lily nor James reacted when they were teased about it. So eventually they had given up.
Lily dragged through her classes ever since The Kiss. Lily was even thinking of it in capital letters now.
"Lily!" a stern voice said sharply and Lily turned around to see Professor McGonagall.
"You will serve your detention tonight."
"Yup," Lily said tonelessly.
"8:00. Dungeons with Professor Buliter." Buliter was the Potions teacher.
"Uh huh," Lily said, her voice still void of emotion.
McGonagall looked at Lily strangely for a moment, but Lily just headed to the common rooms.
Lily spent the rest of the day in her dorm room. For the past days she became more friendly with Kate and Maddie since she was avoiding James.
"So Lily, what do you want to do tonight?" Maddie asked Lily, her voice bubbly.
"I have a detention," Lily replied glumly.
"That sucks," Maddie said.
"Yeah. What do you have to do?" Kate asked, sympathetically.
"Dungeons with Buliter. 8:00 PM."
"Uh, Lily? It's 7:40 right now. I suggest you run," Maddie told her.
"Ya. Bye then." Lily walked out of the dorm, staring at the floor. She was about to climb out of the portrait hole when she bumped into a hard shoulder.
"Ow," Lily muttered. She looked up into warm brown eyes.
"James," she said, without thinking. Panic was evident in her voice.
"Er ... hi Lily," James said, looking anywhere but her eyes.
"So, uh, how have you been?" Lily asked. But she thought, How have you been? Really Lily ... is that the best you can come up with?
"Umm .. okay I suppose. How about you," James asked politely.
"Good."
An awkward silence came between them.
"Well, where are you off to?" James asked.
"Detention."
"Oh, er, sorry about that. You know the newsletter."
"It wasn't your fault," Lily said quickly.
"Okay. Thanks."
"I have to leave. Bye."
"Uh, bye."
Lily ran out of the portrait hole and glanced at her watch. Five minutes. Lily ran the hardest she could.
"Nice of you to join us, Miss Evans," Buliter said sarcastically.
Lily looked up into Malfoy's and Buliter's smirking faces.
"I would give you another detention, but seeing as you are in one already, I'll be nice," Buliter said unpleasantly.
"Yea. Er, thanks," Lily replied.
"So, Ev .. Lily," Malfoy said, glancing at Buliter, "We get to sort potion bottles. But I have to go use the bathrooms. I'll be back."
Lily nodded glumly.
"Go on, Malfoy," Buliter said.
Malfoy left.
"Get a go on, Miss Evans. Hurry up now."
An hour passed in almost silence except for a few comments from Buliter such as, "Be careful now" and "The green bottle is next to the red, not the yellow."
Malfoy never returned.
Lily woke up the next day, exhausted. Buliter kept her until 2 in the morning. Lily was grateful when Maddie and Kate woke her up. Five minutes before classes. Lily threw on clothes and barely pulled a brush through her hair, when she ran out to Charms.
As soon as she walked in, Malfoy was in her face.
"How was detention, babe? And by the way, you look like hell."
"Thanks Malfoy. Now get out of my face!" Lily yelled.
James walked right up to Malfoy and gave him a push.
"You heard her," James said, his voice low.
Malfoy was about to reply, but noticed Sirius and Remus walk up behind James.
"Whatever," Malfoy said. And he turned around and walked to his seat.
Lily was about to thank James, but realized he already returned to his seat.
Charms was usually Lily's best class, but she couldn't even o a simple levitation charm that day. She was glad when class finally ended. But she faced three more until lunch.
James walked toward the Great Hall and wondered if Lily caught him staring at her during classes. She looked so gorgeous even though she was disheveled and she had on two different shoes on.
He couldn't stand avoiding her much longer.
Toughen up James, he told himself.
But as soon as he saw Lily talking to Kate and Maddie at the table, it took all his might just to sit next to Sirius and not her.
A/N Okay there wasn't really a point to that chapter, but the next one will definitely have one. PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!! I know this one is short, but I'm writing another story at the same time. I know that's a bad excuse, but oh well. My other story is Through it all. Please read it!! It's about Sirius.
