Chapter 10-When I said War, I meant War

When Lily said that it meant war, she definitely meant it. What Tracy did to her wasn't going to stop her, and the fact that James believed Tracy over Lily wasn't going to faze her either. She didn't care, she still had seven good, VERY good, friends. Although, she was extremely mad at both James and Tracy she really hoped James would get out of that relationship before he was hurt. He was getting more and more attached to her as the days passed, and everyone else was getting more and more disgusted by the sight of them. Lily had spent a week planning her first prank on Tracy, with a little help from other people of course. They had thought about giving her a truth potion, but Lily objected to that idea. She said it would be interfering with what she wasn't going to do anything about, as she was guessing, as was everyone else, that she would most likely say what happened between her and Lily. Luckily, for Lily, most people in the school believed Lily and not Tracy. But still, there were still a few people that would throw Lily nasty looks and glower and glare at her.

A week after the whole thing had happened, as a matter a fact, exactly a week, later Tracy's day could have been classified as a day of "Living Hell". Tracy was awoken that morning, not by her alarm clock, which should have gone off an hour before the bucket of freezing cold water landed on her. Their was another shrill shriek, 10 minutes later when she had walked out of the shower. She glared at Lily and tried to pull her florescent rainbow colored hair back in a ponytail, but it was somehow, much shorter than it had been the day before. Tracy pulled on her robes not bothering to check them over in the hurry she was in. Let's just say there was a new rumor that Tracy lied and must liked to be kicked. Even James had to find this funny, but he didn't dare kick her. Tracy ran down to the Great Hall to eat a quick, and I mean a very quick breakfast, but ended up having sticky syrup all over her, with no time to change until lunch. In potions, she had somehow made her potion completely wrong and it ended up spilling on her and the teacher had to get the warts off of her. She quickly changed at lunch, but spilt all over herself again anyway. In Transfiguration she got a detention for writing things that were inappropriate. In charms she got another detention for talking back to the teacher. Lily decided that that would be enough, for now. But Lily couldn't resist making some more ice cold water land on her before she came into the dormitory.

"What the heck! Why are you doing this to me Lily?"

"Duh! When I said war, I meant it" Lily shrugged and went to sleep.

Lily woke up the next morning, pulled her curtain away but didn't step down and watched the water balloons hit the floor and splash on Tracy, because she was standing right there. She somehow spilt her pumpkin juice on herself at breakfast and looked over at Tracy, who was grinning like a mad person. Lily smiled back and quickly did a charm to dry herself off. She did end up receiving one detention though. Many days passed like that and before long, it was after Christmas and more pranks were being played then ever. The four girls were still best friends, including Sirius, Remus, Peter, and exceptionally James. Lily had received wonderful Christmas gifts, including a beautiful snow-globe from someone that had signed: anonymousness. All in all, the year passed far to quickly. But it wasn't even the middle of May when James had stormed into the common room and ran up to the dormitory without saying anything. The next day he sat by his friends, without a girl named Tracy. Let's just say that he found her in a dark closet that was at the time containing two people, James not being one of them, enough said. So things were basically back to normal, like at the beginning of the year, but James still wasn't on the best terms with the girls, especially Lily. The war between Lily and Tracy hadn't ended yet. One day, towards the end of the school year, Tracy had come up to Lily in the dormitories.

"Evans, I'll get him back, don't worry, he'll be mine and there won't be a damn thing you can do about it."

Lily rolled her eyes and walked away. Still, she couldn't help but wonder what Tracy had meant by that.

Intermission

Ok, so now you kind of know why had I had to tell you that? And now you kinda understand what I meant by liking someone, then hating them. Don't worry, there's a lot more of that. You'll understand even more after awhile.

The summer passed surprisingly fast, I invited Jen, Kate, Lydia, Amanda, and Cassidy all to my birthday party that year. Just as I had hoped, they all got along perfectly fine. It wasn't long before I was back on the scarlet train getting ready for my second year at Hogwarts.

Not to much happened second year. The "war" with Tracy ended when Tracy hadn't done anything to me for a month. The whole school assumed she had forfeited. I guess I should tell you that I found out the Remus was a werewolf by using my common sense. I asked him about it to. Yeah, that sounds weird, just going up to someone and asking "Are you a werewolf?" but hey, it had to get asked didn't it?

Third year flew by even faster than second, which had gone by faster then first year. Neither second or third year are to important to this story, it's the higher years I want to tell you about. Of course, only until now, then you'll get to "see" it with me I guess.

Fourth year came, and didn't go by quite as swiftly as the other three years. Tracy had insisted upon going out with James again, but he said no every time. Tracy had pulled me into a corner once that year. She told me this in these exact words: "Lily, I'll get back at you, and I'll get James back, it'll come when you least expect it, the war isn't over, it'll continue when it's least expected, and your life will be like a "Living Hell"." Fourth year, we got a ton of homework, seeing as we had to take our, Ordinary Wizarding Levels (O.W.L.'s).

And fifth year, well that's were our story continues, but I had to fill you in didn't I? We can just call this our "intermission".

I starts up again the day Jen and I went to Kingscross Station to catch the Hogwarts Express.......

Chapter 11-I can't believe you

Lily and Jen had just arrived at Kingscross Station, this time by Jen's mom. They said a quick good-bye and ran through the barrier between platforms 9 and 10. They were quite early this year, seeing as the year before they almost missed the train. Only about 20 other students were there, instead of the usual hundreds. Most of them were first and second years waiting anxiously to get going. Lily could remember how nervous she had been five years ago when she first boarded. Lily had grown very popular at Hogwarts, along with all her friends, but anyone that liked Tracy hated everyone in their "group" except James. She was also the top of their year, well, along with James who was equally popular and smart. Lily had been made a prefect that year, and she was assuming James had to. It wasn't long before the compartment door slid open and Amanda and Cassidy were standing there. They were now referred to as Mandy or 'Manda, and Cass. It wasn't five minutes after that that four boys were standing in the doorway to the compartment. They all sat down and got settled. Lily sat in between James and Amanda with Jen on the other side of Amanda. . Across from James was Sirius, who was sitting by Remus, by Remus was Cassidy, by Cassidy was Peter. They started another conversation but it didn't last very long before it was switched to something else. Soon enough, they were pulling into Hogsmeade station. They got in carriages and rode to Hogwarts.

They sat down at their usual seats and watched the sorting begin. It was then that Lily realized that there was a shiny badge on James' robe. It was the same badge that was on Lily's. After making the regular announcements, and announcing the prefects, they sat down and enjoyed the feast. After the feast, James and Lily lead the first years to the Portrait Hole and told them some of the rules, and the password ("Jelly Legs").

It wasn't long before Lily, James, and co. were sitting in the common room relaxing. Cassidy and Remus had begun a game of wizards chess. Cassidy ended up winning, by shear luck.

"You were just lucky Cass."

"I know, but I still won"

"Yes you did, but I almost beat you, if we played again I would"

"and that's why we aren't going to play again"

"Why don't we play girls against boy" asked Lily

"How?"

"With teams, and one person moves the pieces, it takes longer but its fun"

"Ok"

Lily was chosen to move pieces for the girls, while Sirius was chosen to move the boys' pieces. The game lasted a very long time and the girls ended up winning. Both teams had only had a rook, king, and pawn left, so it was a very close game. Jen was the one who ended the game by figuring out where to move. Soon, the group was broken up into groups talking. Jen and Sirius were talking, Remus and Cassidy, Peter had gone to bed so Amanda was talking with Remus and Cassidy, and that left Lily and James.

"Hey Lily?"

"Yeah"

"Um...you remember what happened in first year?"

"Yeah, it's not very easy to forget"

"Well I just wanted to say I don't blame you"

"For what?"

"For telling Tracy that you didn't want to be her friend"

"WHAT!?" The two now had the other fives attention

"Well you did tell her that didn't you"

"I can't believe you James Potter! You still believe Tracy over me!"

"I thought that was what happened"

"You never took the time, and you never cared about me enough to find out the whole story! I can't believe you! I'm leaving" Lily walked away and the other three girls followed her while the boys stayed in the common room.

"What'd I do?" asked James

"You honestly don't know?"

"Well..."

"Think about Prongs, I'm going to bed"

"Remus? Do you know what I did"

"Yes, and so do you, think about it"

Remus left also and now James was left alone in the common room. He had been thinking about what Lily had said You never took the time and you never cared enough about me to find out the whole story! That was the problem, James did care about Lily, a lot. He knew what he had to do, he knew exactly what he had to do.
