Lily woke up the next morning to the birds chirping through her window. "Bloody birds." she muttered as she got up and got ready to take a shower. One of her friends, Arabella Figg, was already awake.
"Lily! What happened last night? You were asleep before we could ask!" She made her way over to Lily. Arabella was a little taller than Lily and she had straight dark brown hair and brown eyes. Lily, Arabella and Jessabelle, the other girl in their dorm, were best friends. Jessabelle had short blonde hair and grey eyes. She was the shortest of the three but no one made a comment about it. They were too scared to.
"Let me have my shower first and I'll tell you after. Not that much happened anyway." Lily said closing the bathroom door after her.
"Sure Lily!" Arabella yelled through the door. She went and sat on Lily's bed, pretending to sleep but had to get up again and slam the window shut. "Bloody birds." (A/N You all know what I mean)
"Okay, Lils. Spill." Arabella was bouncing on Lily's bed as she came out of the shower.
"Nothing happened, Bella. I just yelled at James for neglecting to act like a respectable head boy and then he apologised. Nothing else happened."
"Pah. How boring. When are the two of you going to admit that you're deeply in love," Arabella swooned at these words, "and give the rest of us a break!"
"Bella, James doesn't feel that way about me."
"I've seen the way he looks at you though! If a guy looked at me like that then I wouldn't wait for him to make the first move."
"Really? Maybe...Oh, Bella, stop it now. Besides we know Sirius has got your vote."
"Ugh, come on let's wake up sleeping beauty." Arabella walked over to Jessabelle who was burrowed somewhere under her sheets. "How should we wake her this time?"
"Oh no you don't. She wouldn't talk to me for a week after last time. JESS! Get up before Bella starts torturing you!" Jessabelle grunted in her sleep and turned over. Her head came out from the sheets but down the opposite end as it was supposed to be but she wasn't awake. "Ugh, this isn't going to work."
"Use this." Arabella had gone to the water pitcher and brought it back, handing it to Lily.
"It's been nice knowing you." Lily threw the ice-cold water over Jessabelle's face. Jessabelle sat up with a gasp. She spun around and fixed the other girls with a deathly glare.
"You two are going to die!" she yelled as Arabella and Lily ran out the door, "I'll get you two! You're going down." she muttered to herself as she made her way into the shower.
Lily and Arabella were walking down to breakfast slowly because Lily didn't want to face everyone and Arabella didn't want to walk by herself.
"Could you really hear me all the way down in the Great Hall last night?"
Arabella laughed, "No Lily. We were pretty close to the common room last night. We had to hold Sirius back so he wouldn't interrupt you two." The girls continued walking, Lily much happier now. "Oh that reminds me! Guess who we walked in on in an empty classroom?"
Lily sighed, "Bella.....Oh alright, who?"
Arabella started jumping around, "PETEY!!!AND MANDY!!!"
"From Ravenclaw? Are you serious...my God." Lily started to laugh.
"I know! Can you imagine?"
"NO! I don't want to, thank you very much. I can't believe it." Arabella and Lily made their way over to the Gryffindor table and sat opposite the Marauders minus Remus.
"Morning, girls. What can't you believe, Lils?" asked James as the girls sat down.
"Huh?" Lily was snapped out of her reverie, "Oh! Peter, I heard about what you got up to last night!"
"What's this Wormtail?" asked James.
"Nothing." Peter muttered into his plate.
"I'm sure Mandy wouldn't like to be referred to as 'nothing' Pete." Remus came up at that moment and sat next to a very red Peter. "Aren't you girls missing a member?"
"They aren't now." a stony voice said from behind the girls. Lily and Arabella shrunk down in their seats. It was Jessabelle.
"It was Lily! All Lily!" Arabella said hiding behind Lily as best she could.
"Traitor. Who was the one who handed me the water pitcher?"
"Oh, no Lily. You didn't." Sirius said as the boys watched the display unfold before their eyes. "Those pitchers are made to keep the water cold all the time....And full to the top."
"Why is everyone blaming me? Arabella handed me the pitcher!" Lily said indignantly.
"Well both of you have some serious sucking up to do. And I mean homework for a week!"
"Jess, no way. How do you expect to-"
"-learn if you copy or let someone else do your work. I'm doing you a favour. Gees, what is this world coming to?" The boys, Jessabelle and Arabella all said together.
"Oh, screw you guys."
"Peter?" a girl came up to Peter, "Can I sit with you and your friends?"
"Uh, Mandy. Let's not. I'll walk you to your class. You don't want to sit with my friends believe me." Peter and Mandy left the Gryffindor table where the rest of his friends were whistling and cat calling after him.
"Jamsie boy? You're being awfully quiet. What's got your mind?" Sirius elbowed his best friend to get his attention.
"Not what, Padfoot, it's who." he answered.
"Oh, no. Who is it this time?"
"That one." James said pointing to a sixth year Gryffindor. Remus, Arabella and Jessabelle were all looking at Lily who was staring down at her plate.
"Prongs, could you discuss this another time?" Remus asked as the girls all got up to leave.
"We're going to class. See you there." Arabella said as the girls left.
"Okay." Remus smiled at the girls as the walked out. "James, you prat. Do you want to be anymore unfeeling?"
"Huh? What are you on about Moony?" James took his eyes off of the sixth year to face Remus.
"You are totally clueless, James. Poor Lily."
"What are you talking about? What's wrong with Lily?" Sirius chimed in.
"Let's get to charms before we're late." answered Remus.
"Since when do we care about being late?" Despite this, the boys all got up and followed the girls' footsteps.

November 27th
It was three weeks since James had seen the sixth year Gryffindor and they were still going out. Everyone was sure this romance would last and James wouldn't get bored of his girlfriend. The two of them were sitting in an armchair at the corner of the common room, staring into each other's eyes and talking quietly. Lily was sitting in front of the fire, curled up on couch and trying to read.
"What are you reading, Lils?" Remus asked as he sat down beside her. Lily handed him the book. "Little Women? I've heard it's good."
"Yeah" she answered quietly.
"Kinda hard to read when you're concentrating on something else though, hey?"
Lily sighed, "I'm going to bed. Sorry Remus. I'm not much company." she stood up and stretched.
"Good night Lils." Remus gave Lily a hug.
"Goodnight." Lily walked towards the staircase. A girl went sprinting past, knocking into Lily in her haste.
"Are you okay, Lils?" James asked as he came up to see if she was okay.
"What was that all about?"
"I broke up with her. I don't think she took it too well though." Lily smiled at this and the night took a turn for the better. "Why are you happy about that, Lily? Aren't you going to give me a lecture on 'poor girls' hearts'?" "No, James. I'm sure you know it already." Lily said smiling.
"Let me guess, you didn't like my girlfriend very much? I agree with you. Everyone said she was perfect but I don't know. Something about her just wasn't right for me."
"That's it exactly, James." Lily said sarcastically, "Goodnight James." Lily walked up to her dorm leaving James very confused.
"What did I do this time?"
"You are clueless James my boy." Arabella said coming down the stairs. "Who wants to be beaten at chess this time?" she yelled over the common room.
Author's Note: Another chapter done! YAY! Oh I know Arabella's been done but the story doesn't have the same feel without her in it.also in the fourth book there was a mention of an ageing potion and J.K. Rowling tends to introduce things in advance.so you never know! Maybe she overdosed on the stuff!!!! I can't believe I actually got reviews! I was so excited that I had to write more and see what you people think about it! So yeah, again if you want more story please tell me and I'll see if I can write more! Keep reading and reviewing!
MY THANK-YOU LIST! Jonah: I tried to put more of Remus in this. I hope you like! Emerald-Eyez: Thankyou!! buggy-such: thankyou! I hope you like this chapter as well! Hazelmist: I'm usually pretty sarcastic myself so.yeah! And to the person who left no name: Here's more story!
