The boys got up, ready to go to dinner but had to wait for all of the girls who had been in their dorm to storm out of the portrait. "Girls, always in a rush" Sirius commented with a smile as he closed the portrait behind him and his friends.

Lily was joined by her friends and she put on a happy face but inside she was in turmoil. She, Lily Evans liked the one person in the world who could make her face match her hair, her stalker the boy or should she say man who made her angry every time he put his hand anywhere near his cute and unruly hair. Lily smacked her forehead, not noticing she had her fork in her hand till someone screamed as she was hit with Lily's food "Oh Isabelle, I am so sorry" Lily said quickly, frowning at one of her friends who was now displaying Lily's mashed potatoes on her shirt.

"I think potatoes is quite becoming for her complexion" Sirius said as he sat down next to Isabelle. Isabelle giggled while James sat down next to Lily "He has some kind of magic that will turn the stupidest thing into a compliment" James whispered to Lily who blushed at his closeness "Shut up Potter, I don't want to hear it" she said with a scowl, wrinkling her nose as she pretended to think he stank but she was just taking another sniff of his wonderful smell, she just couldn't put a name to it, but what ever it was it was lovely. "Whoa Evans, calm down" James said, sliding away from her "Is this better?" he asked, now that he was beside something other girls and at least 5 plates away. Lily nodded but wanted to shout at him to come back but she quickly stopped anything as stupid as that from coming out of her mouth by stuffing a for full of potatoes in her mouth. Dinner passed uneventful other then the James and Sirius every once in awhile mentioning to Remus something about Janie, making him blush and Lily wishing she hadn't scared James away. Remus was trying to ignore the boy's suddle hints he should ask Janie out while also contemplating the chances of Lily actually liking the guy she had pledged to hate for the rest of her life so few years ago.

As soon as dinner was over Lily jumped from her seat and was about to leave before she had to confront James again when she felt two large hands land on her shoulder and she looked up to see Dumbledore "Well Miss Evans and Mr. Potter, we have some Head business for you two to take care of, meet in the Heads Common Room after eight" With that he walked off to join the other teachers. Lily was still nodding after he left, not even realizing it till she was brought back down to earth by a poke and a question 'You alright Evans?" Sirius asked. She glared at him and nodded before standing. Sirius looked to James who was buttering another bun and shrugged. James was watching Lily leave the room so he never saw the shrug "See you in the tower" James said, standing and taking the butter knife and bun with him as he followed Lily. "Ah. James the kni-" Remus was cut off by getting a bun in the face "what was that for?" He demanded, embarrassment plain on his cheeks "well you were going to tell him about the knife and its funny him wandering around with a butter knife" Sirius answered with a sheepish grin. "Immature" Remus said, swatting his friend with a hand before rubbing his nose, a tad sore from its encounter with the bun.

"Hey Evans, wait up" James called, running down the knife with butter knife and bun in hand. Lily whirled to see him running with a knife and raised an eyebrow but stopped anyway "what do you want?" She demanded in a cold voice, her jaw set in a scowl. "I was.. Um can you not do that its better if you smile" James said but sighed when she shook her head and continued to scowl. "Alright, I was wondering if you knew the reason Dumbledore wanted us" "NO! James I did not" she quickly turned on her heel and started walking as soon as she heard his name come out. James's trademark grin crossed his features as he took note of her calling him James rather then the normal Potter. "Well I guess I will see you later" he said, turning on his heel and heading back in the direction he came. Lily watched him leave in silence and as soon as he was out of sight she sighed in relief "Maybe I will survive tonight" she whispered to herself as she continued her walk, figuring if she could handle being in the same hallway with James Potter she most likely would be able to handle the meeting with him in the same room.

I am sorry about the names of the chapters ~(e.e)~ I am sorta just choosing things from the chapter and putting them as the title.
