Lucky me.Anyways, I hope you enjoy the chapter, and PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW!!! Chelsea_________________________________________________________________

Lily and Malfoy didn't split up until dinner that night, and only because they had to sit with their respective houses. Lily was pleasantly surprised to find that everyone wanted to be her friend again, and Kirsten had become some kind of ostracized leper (i.e. outcast). It had even come to the point where her former friends came over and begged her to rejoin the Marauder Fan Club, to which Lily politely declined. Things were definitely looking better. She had a great boyfriend (ugh, I get the shivers writing that, Malfoy is so.EviL!), she was the most popular and beautiful girl in school, and she was happy just sitting and listening to the sounds of others around her chatting in the great hall.

The sound of chairs being pulled out around her startled her out of her happy daydream. It was Potter, and his little friends. Lily glared at them for a moment before choosing to ignore them. Let them think she was still pissed at them for this morning, they weren't worth her time.

"Uh.hey Lily." James sopke quickly. After this morning, they had decided that it would be beneficial if James tried to apologize about the dare. He was till jealous about her going with Malfoy, but he knew that in the future he would never have a chance in hell if she wasn't at least his friend. If they just got Malfoy out of the picture, than James could work his god-given magic, but so far, Lily wasn't responding. "Lily? Anyone there?" He quickly lost his nerve and started stuttering. He looked to Sirius for help.

"Hey Lily, I heard you're going out with the slimy slytherin Malfoy." Sirius winced. It was the first thing that popped out of his mouth. James glared at him from across the table.

Lily's head snapped around, her red curls bouncing. She looked at Sirius for a moment, her lips thinning as she pressed them together in anger. How did he know? Her voice lowered to a growl.

"It was you! In the forest, you were spying on us." Sirius started to protest, nodding his head no, but was stopped by Lily's hard slap. He stared at her for a moment, putting his hand to his cheek as she got up and stormed off. The three stared at her vacant spot for what seemed like eternity.

"Wow, that went well. Now she not only hates Prongs, but you Padfoot as well."

"Ya. Thanks a lot for the help there Padfoot. I was trying to apologize, and that certainly didn't help things along." James looked slightly put out.

"Don't blame me! I was only trying to move things along. Plus, if you hadn't lost your nerve, than this never would have happened." Sirius softened when he realized how much James liked Lily. "Look, whosever fault it is, it doesn't matter. Lily doesn't like us anyways because we gave her that stupid dare. What we have to do now is break her and Malfoy up."

"And how do we do that?" Remus looked more interested.

"uh.well.see.beats me." Sirius shrugged, then grinned, then laughed. Remus and James joined in. This was only the beginning. ________________________________________________________________________ Sorry for the sort chapter, but you people haven't been reviewing enough!!!
