DISCLAIMER: Run, run, run, as fast as you can. You can't catch me; I'M THE
GINGERBREAD MAN! Oops, sorry. Wrong story… Oh, um, yes. I do not own Harry
Potter. Or the Gingerbread Man for that matter, either.
"But- Professor, it wasn't supposed to be a big thing- it was only gonna be-"
"Enough Potter! You have been completely out of control- you too, Miss Evans." Professor McGonagal was lecturing them (once again). "If either of you pull even one more stunt- one more toe out of line- I will see to it you are suspended. Understood?"
"Whoa!" thought Lily. "I never thought it would be THIS big a deal." She spoke to Professor McGonagal. "James is right, Professor. It wasn't supossed to hurt me. We'd never go THAT far." Professor McGonagal smiled, sort of.
"I do not doubt that. But whether intentional or not, he DID burn a hole through your bag, just missing you. You're lucky it only scorched your hair, not burned your head off. You are dismissed." (She gave them detentions and warnings and the whole shaboozie, too, don't worry.)
James and Lily stepped out. It was a shock to both James and Lily what he did next. He turned to her in a truly honest way and said, "I'm sorry. I never thought it would go this far. Honestly." Lily was thoroughly shocked.
"It's ok I guess. Yeah, yeah it is. We've gotten almost as bad as the Slytherins, if you can imagine." She laughed. "Truce?" she asked.
"Truce," said James. They shook hands.
"Eww! James!" It was the first time she had called him 'James' and not 'Potter'. It felt good. "I can't believe you did that!" she giggled. James had "accidentally" left some green goop on his hands, and when they shook hands, it had "accidentally" smushed into hers. She giggled again. They went back to Griffyndor Tower, playfully pushing and shoving each other along the way.
