It had been a week since the holiday party, but it was and had been the only thing Lily Evans had on her mind since then. *Lily, it was only a kiss. You have Amos.* one part of her thought. Oh well, she thought. She would have to let it go. She had a boyfriend, and he had a girlfriend. She got ready for classes, and walked into the common room, sleepily. James came up behind her.
'Hey...umm..can-are you busy tonight? I mean, I need to raise my Charms grade..' James trailed off. Lily smiled.
'You mean you need to beat me before you leave in seventh year. No, I'm not busy,' Lily said. James breathed a sigh of relief.
'Ok then, um...how about..um..' James said.
'Nine?' Lily supplied.
'Yeah, okay sure,' James said. he walked away quickly. Lily put her bag on her back and walked off to breakfast. Arabella and the Marauders were already seated, James and Sirius with bouncy blondes on their laps. Lily looked away hastily, and sat next to Arabella.
'Who's the blonde?' Lily asked.
'Claudia Abbott, sister of William Abbott, Hufflepuff,' Bella supplied. Lily nodded. She ate her toast quickly, but sat back down when owl post came. She had a letter.
Dearest Lily,
We were disappointed that you could not come home, but we hope you had fun anyway. It took us awhile to remember how to send it, but we hope you will like and enjoy it anyway. We had a few hints on what to get, by the way.
Love,
Mum and Daddy.
Inclosed there was a brand new Nimbus 1500, and a mint from Petunia. She looked up. Everyone knew she hated to fly, who had suggested to get her a broom?! James caught her eye, grinning and laughing at her broom. They had asked James! But as she was about to say something, Amos popped up behind her.
'Sorry, haven't been able to catch up with you lately. Well, here's your belated Christmas present,' Amos said. Lily frowned. She opened the package and saw a beautiful picture of a meadow, and a small jewelry box. She smiled thankfully.
'Oh, and nice broom you've got there, maybe we could take it for a ride,' Amos suggested, with a wink. What a jerk. Lily nodded and stuffed the box and picture into her already full bag. She got up and took the brand new broom up to her dorm, and locked it safely into her trunk, when she saw a piece of parchment that hadn't been there before. It read:
Nine, right? Wear this, I don't need it.-JP
And there was the silvery, silky Invisibility Cloak. She quickly stuffed the note and cloak into her bag, and emtied her presents out. She walked out of the tower and into the busy hallways. Many people were in a hurry, and they bumped into her. She walked against the wall, so she wouldn't be hit.
'I've been looking for you,' Arabella said. Lily smiled.
'You worry too much,' Lily said.They entered the Potions dungeon, and gasped. It smelled horrible! They were brewing Tattletale Tonic, a simpler version of Veritaserum. Tattletale Tonic only lasted for five minutes, though, so it wasn't very good.
'SIT DOWN, DELINQUENTS!' their professor, a hateful man called Professor Thomas. Lily and Arabella sat down at their cauldrons, and took out their ingredients. They chopped up the bubotubers, and added them to the mix, when Professor Thomas came over.
'Delinquents, I smell failure,' he said.
'Bastard, I smell a good beating up coming to you,' Lily said aloud, making sure everyone heard her. They cracked up.
'Miss Evans, one hundred points from your house, and detention tonight, Thursday, and next Tuesday,' Professor Thomas said. James had hate in his eyes, and hexed Professor Thomas so he had long blonde hair, hiphuggers, a lacy tye dye blouse, and a daisy headband on. Lily laughed.
'Like, ohmigod, shut up!' Professor Thomas said. Lily laughed even harder.
'Like, you all are dismissed, ohmigod!' Professor Thomas said. The class raised and exited, laughing so hard they couldn't hardly breathe, and most were laughing so hard they were crying. Lily walked up to James, and grabbed his arm.
'Back there, what'd you do to poor Professor Thomas?'Lily asked him. He chuckled innocently.
"Just a hex. It'll wear off in about two hours." Lily nodded, and sped up to catch up with Arabella. They soon came to their next class, Divination. Lily hated this class, but after all, everyone did. They climbed up the trapdoor, and into the smelly, smoky room of Sibyll Trelawny. She sat in the shadows. Lily and Arabella sat down, and they plugged their noses.
'Yuck, it smells like a botanical rose garden in here,' Lily stated. Arabella nodded.
'Today, dears, we are going to read tea leaves,' Trelawney said.
'But Professor, we've been doing that since fourth year!' Mundungus Fletcher, a fellow 6th year stated.
'Then you'll be extra good this year,' Trelawney said. Mundungus rolled his eyes. Lily grabbed a cup, and instead of checking the leaves, she sent water into the cup, and drank the tea.
'Lily's turning into a Marauder,' she heard Sirius say. Arabella laughed.
'The next thing you know, she'll have the cloak out, and sneaking out at night!' Sirius furthered his statement. Lily didn't think this was funny, and she saw James didn't laugh at this, and he caught her eye. She melted. She quickly turned back to her cup of leaves. So did Arabella.
'Did you see him staring at you?' Arabella whispered.
'Arabella..' Lily said.
'yeah?"
'Right now, I'm debating whether I should hit you with my wand or curse you,' Lily said.
'Shutting up..' Arabella said. The friends laughed. Arabella took Lily's tea leaves, and made stuff up.
'Um, you have bad luck, a family member will die, you'll get lost, lose a bet, and fail an assignment,' Arabella lied. Lily tried to look downcast, and did not succeed.
'Arabella, you will lose a Quidditch game, someone will read your diary, your crush will hate you, you'll spill your food on your new blue robes, and um someone will steal your gold bracelet,' Lily lied too. Professor Trelawney came over.
'You girls really have an eye, you could be seers,' the teacher said. It was the end of the class anyway, so they jumped out the trapdoor laughing heartily. They rest of the classes past easily, and by dinnertime, Professor Thomas hadn't turned back into his dreary self. He walked over to Lily.
'Um, like ohmigod girlfriend, your like detention is um like at seven tonight! ciao!' Prof. Thomas wiggled her fingers, and Lily snorted into her mashed potatoes.
'James, that really was funny,' Lily complimented. Did he..blush? Lily blushed too. After dinner, they all retired to the common room.
'ARGH I HATE DIVINATION!' Lily shouted. They had a large divination assignment due. They were to list what all would happen that month to themselves. Lily had:
lose a bet, fail a paper, your friend will turn against you, you will have a dentention, you will catch a cold, you will spill food on yourself, someone will trip you in the great hall, someone will petrify you, and someone will take a nasty photo of you. She needed more!
'I don't like the Charms homework,' James said. Lily nodded. Later, Lily pretended to go to sleep after a nasty dentention with Filch. She slipped on the Invisibility Cloak and tiptoed to the Transfiguration classroom, where a darkheaded figure was already waiting. He turned and looked at her in the eyes.
'You made it..' James said.
'Yeah.'
'So..let's began?' he suggested. Lily placed two quills, a quaffle, and some rather large books on a table, and told James to stand back.
'Now, point to the Quills and say "ACCIO QUILLS!" Lily instructed. James did the Summing Charm with flying colours. Lily put a table in front of them.
'Now, say "Reducto" and it will move.'
'REDUCTO!' the table was blasted out of the way. Next, they tried the Banishing, Confundus, Freezing, and Unbreakable Charms. Lily conjured two butterbeers, and they sat and had a small break. Lily looked into James's deep eyes, and smiled.
'I guess that's it for tonight?' Lily said.
'Yeah..' James replied. So they crawled under the cloak and walked off silently.
As they reached the common room, they sat down on a red couch. Lily stood up after a while.
'I guess I should get to bed..' Lily trailed off. James stood up.
'Yeah, me too..' All of a sudden, James hugged Lily tightly.
'Thanks..for tonight,' he said, looking down into her eyes. She kissed him on the cheek and ran off into her dormatory.
----------------------------------------------------
'So, Lily, where were you?' Arabella asked. Lily frowned.
'What do you mean, where was I?' Lily asked.
'Late last night. I daresay..with James?' Arabella asked with a sly smile.
'Yes, with James. If you must know, I've been tutoring him for Charms,' Lily informed her best friend.
'Ahhhh, I see..' Arabella laughed, 'Why don't you just go out with James and break up with Amos?'
'I don't see why everyone hates Amos!' Lily said angrily, throwing down her bag. There was a knock at the door.
'Helllooooo..' it was Sirius. 'Come in?' he opened the door.
'Unless you want to be late for class, I suggest you come now,' he grinned. They had History of Magic first today.
'He won't notice us, Binns,' Lily stated, 'He wouldn't notice if Arabella flashed him!' Arabella gave Lily a dirty look. Sirius shook with laughter.
'Haha, very funny, let's go,' Arabella said, and they left for History.
........Later......
Someone was hanging above Lily. Two someones. They had to wake her up now! Both had dark hair, one with brown eyes, one with blue...James and Bella!
'Lily Belle, wake up,' Arabella was saying. Lily raised up. She rubbed her eyes and saw that in ten minutes the class would end.
'How long have I been asleep?' Lily whispered.
'Ever since we came, you hit the desk and started to snore, well not snore but..' James trailed off. The class ended, and they stepped out of the stuffy classroom. They had Transfiguration next, with Amos and the Hufflepuffs. Amos soon caught up with her.
'Hey Lils!' he said.
'Hi, Amos,' Lily said dully.
'Ready for class?' he said excitedly.
'Umm..sure Amos. But I guess you should have remembered that Transfiguration is my worst class,' Lily informed him. Amos's jaw dropped.
'I knew that! I was being sarcastic,' he lied. James snorted.
'Potter go sit with your delinquent friends and leave us alone,' Amos said.
'Excuse me, but speak for yourself Amos,' Lily said. Amos was shocked! How dare she talk to him like this!
'Excuse ME! I was just trying to talk to my girlfriend,' Amos said. Lily walked away huffily. James stepped up.
'Amos may I suggest something? Shoot yourself,' James said, and Sirius and Remus howled with laughter. Amos was furious. They stepped inside the chilly Transfiguration class and sat down. As you may guessed, Amos sat with the Hufflepuffs, and Lily in between Sirius and Arabella.
'Sirius?' Lily asked.
'Yeah, babes?' Sirius said.
'Do you promise if any boy EVER hurts me, you will give him something bloody?' Lily asked.
'Lily I promise. You know you're like my little sister,' Sirius said. Lily hugged him.
'Cant...breathe..' Sirius struggled to get out of the hug. Soon enough, Prof. McGonagall came bustling into the classroom. She placed a muggle telephone onto every desk. Some kids were confused, so the teacher explained, and they started to work on their telephones. They had to turn them into a robe. Lily's wasn't doing too well.
'UGH I HATE TELEPHONES! AND ROBES!' Lily screamed in anger. James came over to her and calmed her down.
'Lily, hold your wand like this,' James said, and took Lily's arm and moved it, and made sure Amos saw.
'Just flick like this, and concentrate,' he instructed. Amos walked over.
'Would you like me to help, Lily Dear?' Amos asked in mock-concern.
'No, Amos Dear,' Lily mocked him.
'You're doing it wrong, Potter,' Amos said, but James ignored him and continued to help Lily untill her telephone let out a small *POP* and turned into purple robes.
'And how so am I doing it wrong?' James asked coolly.
'Stay away from Lily,' Amos said, 'I'm warning you.'
'Why should I?' James said.
'She's mine. I mean it, Potter,' Amos said.
'I doubt that, Diggory. You hardly even notice her,' James said.
'So?' Amos said.
'You treat her like she's a dog. You're sick,' James said to Amos. Amos's eyes narrowed like little slits.
'She's just a girl. I don't see you treating girls any different,' Amos defended himself.
'She's not just a girl,' Sirius interrupted, 'She's like my little sister and if you hurt her I swear..'
'Black, stay out of this,' Amos said.
'Black, thats right, thats what color eye you are about to have,' Sirius said. Lily came over to them.
'What's going on here?' she said.
'They're making trouble. Come on, Lily, let's go,' Amos said.
'What do you mean, trouble?' Lily asked.
'Forget it, come on,' Amos said, trying to drag her away by the arm. She brought her arm back.
'Excuse me, these are my friends. What do you mean, trouble, Amos?' Lily asked again, looking him square in the eye.
'Nothing, it's okay, doll,' Amos tryed.
'Haha, nice try Diggory,' Lily said. James spoke up.
'We were just discussing whether or not Diggory wants us to be your friends,' James said. Lily turned on her heels to Amos.
'I can have any friends I please,' Lily told him. 'I am no longer a first year.'
'I am aware of that, honey. I was trying to protect you from these..monsters,' Amos tried to save himself.
'The only thing you're trying to protect is your reputation!' Lily yelled.
'Lily, please..' Amos said.
'Amos, don't. I don't need this,' Lily said.
'But Lily, I just don't want them to hurt you,' Amos explained.
'AMOS DIGGORY! Sirius, Remus, and James are like my brothers,'
'Well..umm..' Amos said.
'If you can't deal with that then I'm afraid it's so simple,' Lily said.
'What's simple?' Amos asked.
'That we are over, Amos,' Lily concluded. Sirius punched Amos, as promised, and Lily, James, and Sirius walked away.

Author's Note: I know, it was long, but I was trying to fit everything in. So it's almost Easter Break, and there's more trouble in the next chapter for our dear Lily and James. They won't be together for a while. Haha, I love this. So, review, tell me what you think. And I want to thank the one reviewer who gave me constuctive critism. I really want to know what I should do, what I should fix, ect. Thanks!
