Lily rushed into the Gryffindor Common Room and jumped onto the couch next to Remus, upsetting the books which had been next to him. "I am SO sorry Remus" she said with a frown, her green eyes begging forgiveness "Well, bouncy books cant be helped..." Remus said, picking up the books she had knocked off the couch. "No, not about the books about Janie" Lily corrected, looking even more nervous. "What about her?" he asked. Lily opened her mouth to answer but the portrait swung open and she shut her mouth as soon as she saw who it was: James and Sirius.
Remus turned with a questioning look on his face towards Lily but she shook her head and said "I will tell you later." she stood up and was about to walk towards the stairwell that leads to the girls dorm but was stopped by someones arms around her waist "tisk tisk tisk, dont we get a good night kiss?" James asked. "Why of course James" Lily said, turning in his arms to face him, ignoring the other boys shocked faces she went up on tiptoe and was about to kiss him when he foot shot out and stomped his, hard. "ouch" James said through gritted teeth, releasing her so he could collapse into the nearby arm chair and hold onto his throbbing foot "Night boys" Lily said, kissing Sirius and Remus on the cheek but just patting James on the head before heading up stairs.
As soon as Lily was gone Sirius burst into laughter "Oh poor James, you really thought she was going to kiss you didnt you?" he asked with a grin, sitting in the seat which Lily had vacated only moments ago "I think he did, you saw the awe written all over his face when her lips got close to his" Remus said, shaking his head with silent laughter.
"Its not funny" James grumbled with a frown on his face, I really thought she was going to kiss me" he said as he crossed his arms over his chest. "Someday she will kiss you" Sirius said with a sigh, ending his laughter seeing as his best friend didnt find it half as funny as he did.
Lily jumped onto her bed, staring at the ceiling as she thought over what had just happed, other then the obvious: her almost kissing James. 'to think I actually wanted to kiss him' she thought with a frown, playing with the button to her skirt pocket. She shook her head and sat up, feeling sorry for herself and demanding that she stay away from any more almosts or James period. Lily changed into her pjs figuring that is what she will do, avoid James as much as possible till meeting nights and if needed, classes.
The boys had climbed the stairs and Remus was already sleeping but James and Sirius sat on James's bed, talking in low voices "We will get them together tomorrow and if he doesnt ask her out himself I will for him" Sirius was saying, he was talking about Janie Pinter and Remus. "Lets go to bed and get to work at Breakfast" Sirius said, walking over to his bed and climbing in. "Night Sirius" James said with a yawn, snuggling into his bed. "Night James" Sirius said but wasnt heard since James was fast asleep.
Lily seemed to be the first one up in the morning, sitting in the Great Hall at a practicly empty Gryffindor Table, the others were third years which she didnt know and was to tired to get up and get to know. She had barely slept last night, thoughts of James had kept her up which was a bad thing and she didnt like it one bit. "Hello Evans" James cooed in her ear as he sat down next to her. "Leave me alone Potter" Lily growled to him through gritted teeth. "Why?" James asked, grinning. "Because I hate you and always will" she said, turning to him with her emerald eyes glittering with the hatred she didnt feel for him but what he did to her. James frowned at her and she felt a pang of sadness at seeing his lovely smile turned into a frown but she quickly estinguished her sadness with a scowl "Now. leave. me. alone." she said as slowly as if talking to a small child "Fine!" he said, standing up and walking to the opposite end of the table as her and even the opposite side of the table. Lily shook her head with a frown, shovelling some food into her mouth. She didnt realize she had company since she had been lost in thoughts till she felt a large hand land on her shoulder "Miss Evans?" Dumbledore asked, confused by her ignoring him. Lily jumped a little before turning to him "OH! um... sorry" she apologized, trying her best to smile but just couldnt. "Its alright, I see you have other things on your mind" Dumbledore said, patting her shoulder "I just came to see if you were making sure that you remember to go to the meetings each night" he said with a small smile "Oh yes, I plan to tonight" Lily said with a nod. "Good. I shouldnt even need to ask, you are one of the most on top of things students this year" he said before walking away with a little good bye. "On top of things? yeah... riiiight" she said to her toast before biting into it. "huh?" a fellow Gryffindor asked, thinking she was speaking to him. Lily shook her head, still chewing on her toast so she couldnt answer.
Down at the other end of the table James was just fuming, you could tell because he was cutting a piece of toast to little bits then using a fork to transport them to his mouth. Remus and Sirius were silent, not wanting to anger their friend much more then he already was since Lily telling him she would never like him.
Remus turned with a questioning look on his face towards Lily but she shook her head and said "I will tell you later." she stood up and was about to walk towards the stairwell that leads to the girls dorm but was stopped by someones arms around her waist "tisk tisk tisk, dont we get a good night kiss?"
