Chapter 10:

By the end of the week so many rumors had formed about the party no one really knew what happened. Most stories told of a grave duel, between Lupin and James. A majority of these ended in them being risen from the dead by the Headmaster.

A few stories involved Lucius Malfoy being in the Common Room, and even he admitted to it. He said that he was planning on setting off a pack of dungbombs and received a weeks worth of detentions. Only a few Gryffindors knew the truth about the matter, and not a soul was going to tell, and even if they did, who would believe them?

Lily and Remus could often be seen starring at each other or 'studying' in the library. Most of Hogwarts assumed them to be a couple, but they never made it official. By Friday James was going out with Brittany Brown and Jia Chin was always holding hands with Sirius Black.

It was Saturday morning, and Lily was practically skipping, she was on her way to the Library to meet up with Remus for a study session. The hallways were almost empty, but as she rounded the corner she ran smack into no one other the Lucius Malfoy.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Lily said slightly amused.

"Let me. uh. help you up?" Malfoy mumbled.

"Sure, thanks," Lily smiled, "I guess I'll see you in Potions then!" and began to walk away, but Lucius stopped her.

"Wait, we. we need to talk."

"Well make it quick, I am meeting with Remus, and I doubt that he will be happy to see you."

"Yeah, good idea." Malfoy smiled at the thought, "Sorry about the party and all that. you know."

"Oh. yeah. I guess. it's not that big of a deal. Don't worry about it. But thanks for telling me. I know that it was hard, you should act like this more often!" Lily laughed, and didn't bother waiting for his reply. "L- L-L- LOSER!" she mumbled, unaware that Lucius heard her.
