Chapter Two

The Aftermath of a Big Mistake

Lily stormed through the common room and up the stairs to the girls' dormitory in a terrible rage, leaving behind her a wake of rather confused Gryffindors.

"What's with her?" asked a second year to her friend, who shrugged.

Lily threw open the door to her dormitory, dropped her stuff onto the floor and screamed as loudly as she could.  Jessie came running out of the bathroom. "Lily, what the—"

"I just came from a tutoring session for Transfiguration, which is bad enough in itself because I am Head Girl and therefore should be good at everything and not need to be tutored in anything, but noo, and to make matters worse guess who my tutor is!!" Lily ranted, cutting off Jessie.

"Erm..."

"JAMES FREAKING POTTER!!" she screamed.  "Would anyone like to tell me WHY he is my tutor?!?"

"Uh..."

"He is the most absolutely annoying, perverted, freaking, idiotic, moronic, stupid, dumb-ass, bothersome,--"

"LILY!" Jessie shouted, cutting Lily off before she could list any more of James' 'attributes.' "What happened?!  I haven't seen you like this since, well, I don't know when.  Reeelax!"

Lily pouted. "He's an idiot."

"Thank you, so you've said." Jessie said calmly. "Now sit and tell me what happened."

Lily felt herself getting angry all over again as she went over it in her head again.  Fortunately, Jessie sensed this and was able to head it off. "Chocolate?" she asked, holding out a box of assorted Cadbury's chocolates. "It'll make you feel better."

Lily gave Jessie a little smile and took a Flake.  Feeling herself relax as she bit into it, she started telling Jessie what happened.

--Flashback—

"So are we done now?" Lily asked irritably.  Spending a whole hour alone with James was not her idea of a good time.

"Almost." James replied. He hadn't made a move on her the whole time.  Except for when he tried to put his arm around her, but she had shrugged it off and he hadn't tried again. ("I should have known then it was too good to last." she said to Jessie.)

"Well what haven't we done?" asked Lily.

"This." James' expression suddenly got more serious and intense than she had ever seen it before.  It sort of frightened her.  He leaned in towards her, putting his arms around her and pulling her towards him.  To late, she realized what he was going to do, but she was too mesmerized to move. He leaned in more and kissed her full on the lips.

--Flashback­­—

"HE KISSED YOU?!?" exclaimed Jessie, happily. "Lily, that's..." she trailed off at the thunderous expression on Lily's face. "really terrible." she finished lamely.

"Damn right it is." said Lily. "How dare he!? He knows full well that I'm not at all interested in him and he STILL goes and kisses me!!"

"More chocolate?" Jessie poked the box at Lily, who took a Crunchie this time.

"And furthermore," Lily continued, around a mouthful of chocolate."

"Hey, don't talk with your mouth full!" said Jessie quickly, anxious to head off another Lily-rant.

Lily gave Jessie a dirty look.  Jessie calmly gave an innocent little grin back.  "C'mon, Lils, let's play Egyptian Rat Screw.  You can take your anger out on the cards."

Lily grinned.  Egyptian Rat Screw was one of her favorite Muggle card games. She had taught it to all her friends and they all loved it as well. "Okay." She said, taking out her bedraggled stack of cards. "I go first."

Meanwhile, James and the rest of the Marauders were up in the Astronomy tower, where they frequently met. "I made a HUGE mistake." he said, putting his face on his knees.

"What'd you do now, Prongs, and does it involve Lily?" Remus asked, while Sirius and Peter looked on curiously.

"I kissed her and yes, it does."

"You KISSED her!?!" exclaimed Sirius. " SCOOORE!! Go, Prongs!! Go, Prongs!!"

"Padfoot. Shut up." said Remus. "Can't you see our Prongs has made a terrible mistake?"

"Um,"

James sighed. "What do I do, Moony?"

"Why do you never ask me what to do, Prongs?" asked Sirius, hurt.

"Because you would tell me to go kiss her again." James said tiredly.

Sirius grinned. "You're right actually. Why, would that be bad or something."

James shot him a look.

Sirius threw up his hands in mock defeat. "Shutting up now."

"I think the only thing for you to do," began Remus. "is to apologize."

James stared at him. "Moony, are you mad?"

"It's the only chance you have of making things at least a little bit better."

"But, Moony!" exclaimed James. "That would require my getting near her.  She'll hurt me!"

Remus just looked at him. "Okay.  Here's you: 6'1, tall, and strong.  Here's her: 5'5, not so tall, and not so strong. You tell me who would win in a fight."

"Ooh!" cried Sirius, waving his hand in the air. "I know! I know! Pick me!"

"Yes, Padfoot?" said Peter, playing along.

"It's James, isn't it.  James would win!" Sirius said excitably.

"Thank you, Padfoot." Remus said dryly.  "We'd never've guessed."

"Isn't there another way, Moony?" whined James.

"Well you could send her flowers ("she'd trash them."), chocolates ("she'd mash them into tiny bits and flush them down the toilet."), serenade her under her window ("she'd throw things at me, besides I can't sing."), or you could stop being so NEGATIVE!" tried Remus.

"Sorry, Moony, but I'm just..." James trailed off.

Remus nodded. "It's okay. How about we just try all of them.  Maybe sooner or later she'll come to her senses."

James managed a half-grin. "Alright. I'll try.  But what about this Adrian fellow?"

Sirius laughed. "That relationship won't last long."

"Why not?"

"He's gay."

"WHAT?!" cried James.

"Then why's he acting all interested in Lily?" Remus asked.

"Oh, he just doesn't know he's gay yet and he's trying to fight it."

"Oh."

"You know, Padfoot, surprisingly enough, that made sense." commented James.

"Why thank you, Prongs." James' comment sank in a little more. "Hey!"

James laughed and scooted out of reach. "Now where can I get some nice flowers?"

"Are you a wizard skilled at Transfiguration or not?" asked Remus pointedly.
