Chapter 6: What's Up With Frank?

Later that evening, Lily was doing some work in the Head common room. She had not received very much homework that day, but she wanted to get it all done early. She was just finishing her transfiguration essay (which she had left for last as she had the most problems with the subject) when in walked James and the other Marauders. Knowing that they were likely to make far too much noise to allow her to get anything done, she collected her things and decided to head to the Gryffindor common room.

As soon as she left, James let out a sigh. "How am I going to get her to stop hating me if she won't even stay in the same room as me?" He wondered.

Lily spotted Anne and Frank sitting together at a table near the fire and headed over towards them. There were only two chairs, so Lily made to sit down on Franks lap. He pushed her right off. Expecting that it had just been a joke, she looked up at him with a smile. But Frank didn't smile back at her. He had already turned back to his work. "I wonder what that was all about?" She thought. Puzzled, she pulled up a chair of her own.

Frank looked and saw her pulling up the chair and stared at her. "There isn't room at this table for more than two people."

"Oh," She said, hurt. "I guess I'll just go back to the Head common room. I really only came in here to see you guys. See you later."

Lily and Anne exchanged puzzled looks, but then Anne shrugged. Feeling slightly hurt that neither her boyfriend nor best friend was making an offer for her to be included, Lily headed for her own room. Once inside she made her way straight into her bedroom and decided that since her homework was done, she would just head to bed early. After a quick shower, she pulled on her pajamas and hopped into bed. She was asleep minutes later.
