During the next week the Marauders and Lily weren't on speaking terms, due to the fact that Anna always sat with them at lunch and in classes. Anna however noticed the sudden fact that Lily was not only being cold to Anna but to her friends as well.



Anna decided to talk to Lily about it, or at least try. After dinner Anna left the Marauders and followed Lily up to the girl dormitory. "Lily!" She spun around and his eyes darkened at the sight of Anna.



Lily turned and continued up the stairs, as if she hadn't heard her. Lily got out her homework and began working diligently, desperately trying to ignore Anna. Anna came running up, forced the door opened. Even though Lily had put a charm on it. "Lily, can we talk?" She shrugged and continued on her Charms essay. But Lily finally looked up, "You need something?" She realized the comment was rather rude, but no taking it back.



Anna seemed unaffected by the comment, "Yah, actually I do" Her American accent gracefully flowing, "Why are you mad at the Marauders? I noticed you didn't really like me, and that's fine"



Didn't like her?? Huge Understatement! But Lily just glared at her, "Why do you care? Are you all of a sudden a sweetie now?"



Anna glared back, "What did I do to you? Nothing! And you have been giving me this bitchy attitude since we met!"



Lily just saw red, no one insulted her like that! "You stole my friends!!" Her voice quietly, "They completely forgot about me."



Anna wasn't quite sure what to say, "Lily, if anyone I should feel threatened, they have a new best friend and by the way they talk about you. You're a god to them. I'm just an old friend"



Lily could have kicked herself, "Im sorry," She said barely audible.

"So am I. I guess I didn't realize that im not the ony girl who can deal with the marauders. make-shift friends?" Anna said trying to hide a smile that was creeping on her lips.



Lily laughed, "I guess so"



They shook on it, but Lily still had to wonder. How did Anna get threw that door, lily had put a spell on it. And she didn't even say a spell to get threw.



"Anna, how exactly did you get threw that door?"



She just smiled, and shrugged. Before Lily could ask again she was gone. (A/N: down the stairs!! She didn't disappear!!)

Lily walked down the stairs, and saw the Marauders sitting by the fireplace with a group of Gryffindor girls flirting with each of them. Anna was sitting in Sirius' lap (as usual), Remus was sitting next to Sirius, and James was next to Remus. Sirius was ignoring the girls that were desperately trying to get his attention.



Sirius' head was down in Anna's hair, probably talking with her, James caught Lily's eye and motioned for her to sit by him. Lily suspected Anna told them to forgive her.



All was forgiven, as Lily and James were talking bout Quidditch and when practice would be, for they were both on the team. Lily looked over at Sirius who seemed thoroughly enjoying himself, he bent his head and whispered something in Anna's ear. Anna opened his mouth and smacked him, he just grinned.



She gave him an evil eye, and went on talking with Remus who was looking quite amused at Anna and Sirius' behavior. Lily couldn't help but laugh, because Sirius was being smacked left and right by Anna.



She wasn't hitting hard, more like a warning. even though she had warned him over 20 times. Sirius shrugged as she hit him again, he forced her up. Got up himself threw her over his shoulder easily and walked out yelling, "Taking Anna out for a Date" Anna all the while screaming to be put down.

The common room erupted into peels of laughter the moment the portrait closed. "Listen, Lils im really sorry bout the whole Anna thing.."



"Its ok, I suppose I overacted.."



James leaped on her hugged her, "So we best friend again?"

"Of Course" James smiled and got, completely unaware of the look that Lily was giving him. He also was unaware of how close they were, which Lily had taken notice to.
