Ok, this time, there won't be any thanks to my reviewers, since I just
wrote chapter 3!!! Hi hi!
Just so you know, I'm going to be away for a while, but it doesn't mean I forget about my fanfiction!!!! It's just I'm leaving on Friday for 10 days In Washington (state) and British Columbia, then right when I come back, I'll got for three days in Michigan, and after that, I'll have only one week left before I go back to France (yeah, it sucks, my exchange student year's almost over.). Anyway, don't forget me, I'll write more, just not before long.
On with the story.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Leaving the Charms classroom, Lily went right to see Ellie and Jemima. They were already talking about how difficult the test had been.
"And Flitwick said that the OWLs would be even more difficult!" Jemima cried.
"More difficult, my butt," Lily thought, remembering what Flitwick had told her before the test. If she hadn't been mad at her friends for leaving her alone with Potter, she might have explained them Flitwick's strategy, but she really wasn't in the mood.
"How did it go for you, Lilster?" Ellie asked.
"How did it go? Do you realize that you both left me sitting alone with Potter for a double class period? With Potter of all people! How in the name of everything that is holy could it go fine?"
"Calm down Lily! We didn't realize until Flitwick passed the test. There wasn't much we could do about it after that, was it? And then, if you really want Potter to leave you alone, just go out with him once, that's all he wants!"
"Jem! How can you even think it will work! A simple date is never enough for James Potter. He's not happy as long as he didn't get you in his bed! THAT'S IT!!!! Potter's entire brain revolves around sex!"
"Well," Ellie said, "You could give him a little more credit, couldn't you? Maybe he wants to change, you know."
"Since when are you on his side? Hello??? He doesn't want to change! Of he did, he would a least stop dating other girls when he asks me out! I mean, what kind of guy is already moving on another girl when he didn't break up with the previous one? Not one that wants to change, I tell you that!"
She turned around and left her friends right where they were. This day simply sucked. They had potions next, with the Slytherins, which wouldn't make things any better. Why the staff kept putting Gryffindor and Slytherin in the same classroom was beyond her. Especially the fifth year. The hatred between the two houses was the strongest in fifth year. Potter, Black, Lupin and Pettigrew seemed in constant war against Snape. They kept picking on him for no reason, and no matter how much Lily didn't like Snape, it infuriated her. She tended to try to help any person who was picked on, and even if Snape kept telling her to mind her own business and called her a mudblood, she didn't plan on stopping any time soon. Especially if it annoyed Potter.
She went down in the cold potions labs, and smiled to the teacher as she entered the room. They only good point was that she liked the teacher. Professor Tonks was a very funny person, and her favorite teacher. He had a little daughter, Nymphadora, who couldn't say her own name, or didn't want to, Lily didn't really know. He brought her very often to the castle, and most people loved the little girl. She was very good at making face.
Another reason why Lily liked Tonks a lot was that he was the only one who seemed to have any authority at all on Potter and Black, besides Dumbledore and McGonagall. However, he didn't need to use detentions or being headmaster to do so. If any of them was distracting the class, all he had to do was raising an eyebrow to stop them right away. Lily had yet to understand this phenomenon.
"Please take your seats. Today, we are going to study the Draught of Peace. This is a very difficult potion to do, so it will require your concentration during the entire class period. I will not tolerate any disruption," he said, directing he eyes on James, Sirius and Snape. "I will take a sample of each of your potions in the end of the class period."
Lily had managed to put her cauldron the further possible from Potter, Black or Snape, so she could actually concentrate. However, it didn't seem to be enough to get Potter out of her mind. Was there any truth in what Jemima and Ellie had said? If she went on one date with Potter, would he finally leave her alone? She glanced at him very fast. He was exchanging looks with Black, which let her think he was already preparing another prank.
"Never mind," she thought, "He will never change."
As usual, she was the first to finish her potion. A silver vapor was issued form her cauldron.
"Excellent, Miss Evans, as usual. Ten points for Gryffindor," he said as she gave him her sample. "You can do whatever you wish for the rest of the class period."
Lily did what she liked to do better, watching people. It was amazing how much you could learn by just watching. Snape was also finishing his potion. He gave his sample to Tonks, and caught her looking at him. He cursed her, and she knew he had called her a mudblood by lip-reading. She turned to look the rest of the people. Jemima was struggling to finish her potion in time. On any normal day, she would have helped her, but she was still a little too mad to do so.
Her gaze fell on Peter Pettigrew who seemed to have even more problems than Jemima. He was trying to catch his friends' attention, but they ignored him superbly. She then turned to Potter, and was surprised to notice he had been looking at her. His eyes moved very quickly, with the obvious look of someone who has just been caught staring. She was rather taken aback by that fact. Potter was usually the kind of guy who would keep looking like nothing was wrong. He had turned back to his paper and started to write very fast. She hopped very hard it wasn't another note, but the end of the period came without any sign form him.
She left the classroom, thinking that it was time to make peace with Jemima and Ellie. Lily was the kind of girl who could get very angry, but never for long.
