James realized that he too had fully woken up and decided to go for a walk to a 24 hour convenient store for a coke and sandwich.
He took a shower and changed into loose jeans a t-shirt and a plaid over shirt and walked out the door to the muggle store.
*~*
Lily took a shower and changed into a yellow Nike over sized t-shirt with gray lining and tight gray jogging pants with two yellow stripes down the sides. She went down stairs and put on her shoes.
After a while she decided to head to Pick up - and - Go a store just out of town, to get some bottled water.
*~*
James arrived at the store and began looking around the Deli for pre- made sandwiches. He decided on a turkey one and went to purchase his coke and sandwich.
There were two tables at the back of the store. They were both round and small with one chair each.
*~*
Lily arrived at the store and decided to stay and relax after she got her water. She headed to the back of the store to her favorite chair to find it full. She was about to kindly ask the man filling it to move to another chair when she realized it was none other than James Potter (AN: who were you expecting!).
She knew this was her time for revenge.
*~*
James just took another sip of his coke and was about to dive down for another bite when he felt cold water shooting down his back.
"AHHHH!" James shrieked. He jumped up and turned around to see Lily Evans with an empty water bottle.
"Thank you for my seat back," Lily said as she slid into his chair. She pushed aside his sandwich and coke.
"EVANS -"James started but was cut off by Lily.
"Shhh! You don't want to cause a scene!" She hissed then laughed.
James knew she was right so he grabbed the chair at the other table and pulled it over to her table. "What was that for?" James asked through chattering teeth trying to keep his voice down.
"For that wake up call and for taking my seat," Lily said simply and took half his sandwich and started to eat. There was a moment of silence when Lily said, "What!?!"
"That's my sandwich," James said simply.
"You think I don't know that," Lily replied.
"Wait," James said suddenly realizing something, "Where did you come from?"
"The details of that are not supposed to be discussed in a public area. Besides I refuse to teach you about the birds and the bees," Lily said before laughing at his face.
"You're hilarious Flake. I mean where do you live," James said sarcastically but he couldn't help think how funny it would be if it was someone else in his position.
"In the next town," She said and began eating his sandwich again.
"I'll owl you to come if I can't finish the other half of my sandwich," James said while a grin spreading across his face. Lily couldn't help, but smile.
"Thanks," she said.
"Ya know that's the first time I have seen you smile 'cause we are always fighting," James said his smile never leaving his face.
"But, I have seen you smile," Lily said still smiling.
"Oh, really," James said interested.
"About five times a day at every girl in the school," Lily laughed.
"I think this is a nice conversation with out fighting," James stated.
"Your right," Lily said her smile growing.
"But, then again what girl wouldn't want to talk to me," James said.
Lily's smile faded and she began to get angry, "Oh my gawd Potter! Don't you ever wonder why I think you are an arrogant prat! It's because your ego is so big it could make me explode! There is a fine line James between self confidence and an over weight ego and you cross it! No one can have an intelligent conversation with you without your ego butting in!"
James smile faded too and he looked shocked. "But I just state the truth!" James tried to retort.
"Haven't you ever heard of modesty? That's why I like Amos and not one of the Maurders like every other girl," Lily finished as she stood. "Bye Tony!" she called to the man at the Deli. Then she looked down at James's low hanging head, "Potter."
"Flake," James responded in a small voice.
Lily jogged out and five minutes later James trudged out the store on his way home.
*****~***** On September 1 Lily headed to Kings Cross Station. She said good bye to her parents and Petunia (AN: I know usually Petunia doesn't come or is forced to go but she wanted to see Lily leave).
She ran through the barrier and onto the train. She later found the group of girls she shared a dorm with but they were full because three Hufflepuffs joined them. She was good friends with the girls in her dorm, but she didn't want to be in there anyways right now because they were in their ditzy "James Potter" mode.
She searched all the other compartments but they were all full 'Lots of first years this year,' Lily thought. She saw one last compartment at the very end and opened it. Inside were the Maurders (AN: DUH).
"Damn," Lily cursed aloud when she looked inside. All the Maurders looked up at her.
"Oh, I see your back," James said.
"Oh, I see your ego is back," Lily mimicked. Then she saw Remus her friend. (AN: Peter isn't short and fat but I still hate him. It's hard to work him into the story if he is.) Remus had light brown hair almost gray and fog gray eyes. "Hi can I sit here every where else is full," she asked him.
"Course Lily," Remus replied.
"Remus, can you put this in my trunk," Peter asked handing him a box of chocolates from his mother. Peter was not tall like the other Maurders, but not short either. He had light blonde hair and pale blue eyes. It gave him a childish look but some girls liked it. He had long term relation-ships un-like the others. Sirius and James always had a new girl friend and Remus barley had girlfriends but went on a lot of dates. Sirius had black hair that he kept in a low down stubby pony tail. On any one else it would look horrible but on Sirius it looked right. He also had dark blue eyes, almost black. (AN: I don't know if he has brown or blue eyes but I like blue.) James had messy black hair and deep brown eyes kept behind glasses.
"Yep," Remus replied and put it in.
"Potter can I sit there, it is my favorite spot in the compartment. Besides I can look out the widow all ride instead of bother you guys," Lily asked politely.
"Cause you want it so bad Flake, I'm not going to give it to you," James answered with a grin on his face.
"Potter you know what happens when I don't get my seat," Lily said. Then she took her water bottle out and squirted it down his shirt. He stood up and Lily slipped in his seat quickly. Everyone else was watching by now.
"FLAKE-"James started but was cut off by Lily.
"Twice the charm the second time around," Lily smiled.
"I don't get it," Sirius said to them.
Lily just smiled at him and laughed.
*~*
In the middle of the ride everyone but Lily fell asleep. She took out her turkey sandwich and tried to eat with James on her shoulder. He rolled in his sleep and landed on there. While she un-wrapped it James woke up.
"Yawn!" He looked around and realized his head was on Lily's shoulder. He jumped up quickly. (AN: He didn't jump out of his seat.)
"Thank Merlin! My shoulder was starting to kill!" Lily exclaimed without waking the others. James looked at the sandwich she was eating and took half.
"Hey!" Lily exclaimed this time waking the others. They all looked at her. "That's my sandwich!"
"You owe me this," James said as he took a bite and smiled. (AN: I know I know the smile a lot).
Sirius looked confused, "OK, I want an explanation! What happened, where are all these inside jokes coming from!"
"Fine tell him Flake," James said.
"And what's with the name Flake!" Remus yelled.
"OK OK! We will start from that part. Go ahead Flake," James said.
"OK Potter, do you want me to start with Petunia and end with my ego speech to you?" Lily asked. She was very upset at him. "Or what about the conversation that, you ruined. Ya know not everything can be considered funny, Potter. You have girls swooning at you for nothing but looks. That night I guess I was wrong when I thought maybe you changed over the summer during our chat. Well I have learned that you're impossible. No matter how many times it gets said to your face you will never get it right."
James once again looked shocked, but said nothing.
"I think I can stay in the bathroom for the rest of the ride, I need to change anyways. If someone asks just say I'm sick. Bye, Remus. Bye, Sirius. Bye, Peter. Potter," She nodded.
"Bye"
"Bye, Lily"
"Later, Lily"
"Flake"
Lily left the room and headed to the bathroom for the rest of the ride. (AN: She wasn't crying.)
James realized that he too had fully woken up and decided to go for a walk to a 24 hour convenient store for a coke and sandwich.
