A/N: No one is reviewing. ::sigh:: Oh well, I guess I'll just continue to
write this. If I don't it will bug me to no end. Hmmm. . . I'm not
starting my wonderful story until I read the fifth book. I just want to
get as many facts as I can straight. does that make sense?
Disclaimer: If you've read this much I guess you now know I own nothing. Well I do own the plot and Diana and Hellen. I probably own some other stuff but I'm to lazy to go and check what that stuff is. In other words, Don't sue me! You'll spend more money on lawyers than you'll make from me. So there. Take that!

Chapter Five: Boxing Day and Its Repercusions
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~
Everyone spent Boxing Day enjoying their new presents. Lily was especialy fasinated with James' gift to her. She spent most of her time looking up words and seeing what pictures were under them. Petunia's picture was under nosy, anorexic, and all forms of the word jealous. Professor McGonagal was under the words strict and competive. Remus could be found by reserved and unassuming. While Sirius was near infamous and on almost every other page. Hellen and Diana were under the words stylish and friend. Lily was in all the usual places.
Lily hadn't looked for James. Anyway he seemed rather hard to find. He was by Chaser, Quidditch, tall, thin and many other words but he just didn't stand out like Sirius did. Peter was under the words protected and accepted, as well as some not-used-very-much words. Being a wizard creation, all of the pictures moved and interacted with each other. This was both good and bad. All of the friends could go and visit each other, yet, fights could also break out. Page 166 had a big problems with fights. Sirius and James frequently left their positions under "great" to pick on Snape. Rudlof Rosier would come out from his spot under "greed to defend him. Remus, seeing this from his spot under "grateful," would pick up Peter from his place by "Greek," and they would join the fight. The several Lily's on the page ("grand" and "great"), together with Hellen and Diana who were under "Grecian" ( I got both their names from Greek Mythology. Well Diana is Roman but they're the same goddess!) they would all go to cheer on the Maurderers.
Lily amused watching herself the various fights and relationships of the pictures until Hellen came up to tell her that it was time for lunch. Lily hadn't been down to the common room all day since she was looking at the dictionary all day. She placed the book under her bed-she didn't want everyone to see what she thought of everyone- and followed Hellen down to the Great Hall. She couldn't help but notice how close Diana and Remus were getting. She smiled to herself at how happy the two seemed.
Everyone, with the exception of Remus and Diana, looked up at Lily as she entered the hall. She couldn't bame them. She always was down in the common rooms in the morning. She guessed that they had all asumed something was wrong. Why else would she stay in her dorm all morning?
"What?" she asked.
"Why didn't you come down for breakfast and why did you stay in your room all morning? Is something wrong?" Sirius was pretending to act like an over- protective parent. He was failing miserablt due to the fact that he was smiling and he seemed as if he was about to explode with laughter. Lily didn't get what was so funny.
"Sirius, have you snuck out to the Three Broomsticks this morning, perhaps? For a little dose of Butterbeer?" Lily obviously thought he was drunk.
"Lily, my dear, I'm deeply offended that you think I would do such a thing!" Sirius feigned a look of sadness.
"What's with him today?" Lily mumbled to James, who was seated next to her.
"He's just being an idiot. Actually, we pulled a lovely little prank on dearest Snape. We've been waiting here for him ever since breakfast."
"What-" Lily began to ask what they had done but was interupted by Peter.
"Shhhh, here he comes."
A collective hush settled over the Great Hall as Snape walked in. Lily turned her head so that she could get a better view. He was wearing hot- pink, lace robes. The worst part was that it was a transparent material. Lily soon discovered that Snape was rather found of women's panties. Snape seemed oblivious to the looks he was getting and the things people were saying about him.
"Did you guys have to do this at a mealtime?" Lily scolded the boys in an undertone.
"I think they learned their lesson," Amy quitely said. It was true. All the boys pushed away their plates. Even Sirius who had never skipped a meal in his life. Peter looked as if he would become violently. James looked half smug and half disgusted. Remus kept muttering things like "Why did I let them talk me into this. . . . . . This has to be the worst thing we've ever done. . . . bloody hell! we didn't arrange for the women's knickers- he did that in his own. . . . . I'd take a picture if it wasn't so nasty."
"Come on mates. If I stay here any longer I'll lose whatever food I had before," James said this as he stood up and mentioned for the others to follow. They left the room and headed for the common room. Once the image of Snape in his pretty little outfit had faded from everyone's minds, Peter and Remus went down to the kitchens for food. Peter said they were making him feel like he was heading out for Chinese food. Everyone laughed at his comment.
Peter and Remus returned in short order and the whole group sat around the fire eating and making small talk. They brought up a little too much food so that there were leftovers. Even Sirius couldn't eat another bite. Hellen suggested they feed the food to the giant squid. They were all to full to disagree so they went and fed the food to the squid. It slowly lifted a tentecle for each of the items.
"It looks like the squid eats his meals in corses," said James in an amused way.
"I thought only humans did that," Lily said back.
"Not all humans, even," Sirius had joined the conversation.
"I'm confused," Peter added.
"Join the club," responded Remus, Diana and Hellen at the same time.
"Well, the squid is now stuffed and I'm cold. I say we all go inside," suggested Lily.
They all went inside and got some hot chocolate from the kitchens. Then they all sat around the fire and talked about the whatever was on their minds. As Lily looked around her, she realized just how much she had grown to love Hogwarts.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~
That night Lily was wakened by a strange noise. It sounded like it was coming from her window. When she went to check, she found it open and a note attached to the window sill. She opened it up and it read:
Meet me in the common room. Now. I'll be waiting.
There was no signature but Lily couyld guess who wrote it. She threw a robe on over her nightgown and headed down the stairs. When she stepped in, she saw the fire had almost burned itself out. The author of the note was sitting in a chair in front of the fire. It was James. He seemed lost in thought and didn't notice her entrance. She snuck up on him and startled him as a form of greeting.
"Oh hullo, Lily," James didn't look too excited.
"Why did you want me down here?"
"I need to talk to you." He didn't seem like he was going to be easy to get information from right now.
"And what is so important that you call me from my sleep at this ungodly hour?"
"Have you been avoiding me?" That something was in James' eyes again. James saw it in Lily's as well.
"Why should I be avoiding you?"
"I don't know." Lily frowned. This conversation wasn't going very well.
"There must be something you want to talk to me about."
"Well its nothing."
"Just say it anyway. You've already woken me up. I might as well listen to you."
"Sirius, Peter and Remus all think that there is something going on between us."
"That's absurd!"
"That's exactly what I thought. I think that they had a one too many Butterbeers."
"Yes. Really James, how could anything happen between us? We don't exactly go together."
"I know. I think I'll go to bed now. I'm quite sleepy, myself."
"Yeah, Dumbledore said something about taking down the holiday decorations. I guess, since we put them up, we're expected to take them down."
"'Night, Lily."
"Good-night, James."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~
That conversation had changed Lily and James' relationship entirely. They now made it a point never to be alone with each other outside of Head Boy and Girl duties. If they were alone they had to make pointless small talk or else there would be unbarable akward silences. Lily finally agreed to go to Hogsmeade with other boys. She was hoping this would keep her mind off of James. James went through a trail of girlfriends. He never stayed with anyone of them for long. He didn't know it, but he was looking for a girl that measured up to Lily.
The other friends also noticed the change but they thought it best to leave the two to their own devices. Lily never mentioned James' name and he never mentioned her's. Neither talked about the other. This behavior lasted until March. That month would bring the changes that Lily and James needed to be normal again.
