After the havoc on the train earlier that day everyone felt that they had quite enough excitement for one day. They wished.
Lily had returned three minutes after the event to collect her bag and laughed so hard that she dropped the bottle of pumpkin juice that she had recently purchased, over a forlorn looking first year.
Not only that, but after the train ride and on the ride to Hogwarts, sitting in the horseless carriages, Sirius being the infuriating prankster that he was, decided to send wet start fireworks over the lake to explode over the heads of the terrified first years. He hoped it might give them a fright.
A bit of a fright is the understatement of the century. Three boats of first years were so startled that they all fell off the tiny boats and into the freezing cold, murky depths of the lake.
The gang was halfway through the mountains on their plates when the next catastrophe occurred.
"I seriously cannot believe the day we are having" moaned Evelyn after the sixth person had pointed and laughed at her. Sirius grinned.
"I can." He laughed. The others glared at him. Only Sirius could see the funny side of making yourself look like you should belong in the loony bin.
"I wonder how long it will take to die down. The commotion I mean" said Jenny through mouthfuls.
The others nodded bitterly. Except Sirius who grinned like a maniac.
The feast ended two hours later, after three more helpings of vegetables and an assortment of meats and puddings.
The gang made their way to the common rooms rubbing their swollen stomachs and laughing at another joke cracked by either James or Sirius.
They reached the warm room three minutes later and chose seats next to two other boys.
"Hey Alfie. Hey Aled." James grinned at his friends. They grinned back and leant forwards to acknowledge the others.
Remus suddenly looked up at James as if he had only just realized he was here.
"What are you doing here? Don't you have your own common room?" he asked. "You too" he added looking pointedly at Lily.
They looked at each other.
"I guess" Lily said fiddling with her hair and looking uncomfortable.
James looked at her. Did she really dislike him that much? Was she worried about spending time with him?
"We'd better be going soon Lil's" he said to her quietly.
"Get lost" she said acidly. "I'll go when I want to."
James shrugged. "Cool. I was just pointing out."
"Well don't! I can take care of myself, I don't need you" Lily was shouting now. The other occupants of the common room had now stopped to see what was happening.
"I only wanted to say."
"I don't give a damn about what you have to say. Anything that comes out of your mouth is poison." Lily laughed viciously.
James looked hurt. "Thanks Lily. You know, maybe if you weren't so prejudice."
"Prejudice? That's a laugh coming from you. You should know. Taunting people because they're on a different level from you."
"That was two years ago! People change! Why are you so blind to that?" James yelled angrily.
"A leopard doesn't change his spots!"
"What do you know? You don't know."
"What? What don't I know."
"Shut up and let me finish my sentence for once in my miserable life!" James yelled. Lily looked up surprised and quieted down.
"Look, I just want to get on with you. We have to work together for a year. That is going to be hard if we can't even talk to each other. If we got on, it would be easier for both of us." James sighed.
Lily looked at him.
"And why should I trust you? How am I supposed to know that during the earliest possible moment, you'll prank me into oblivion?"
"I." James was stopped mid sentence by an odd slurping sound. The whole common room looked to where the noise was coming from. James was so surprised that he choked on his own words.
Aled and Alfie were in each other's arms, kissing like there was no tomorrow.
Sirius raised his eyebrows. "I thought you were still with Jack, Alfie" he said.
"You knew he was.well. not straight?" Jenny stuttered.
"Oh year. It's great having a gay mate. It's like talking to a girl, and girls, you know are more sensitive and so it's easier to talk about love lives. Yeah it's great talking to him. Sensitive with no PMS. It rocks. He was the one who told me to tell you that I love yo.damn. Erm." Sirius blushed and looked away. He hadn't meant to say that.
Jenny looked at him wide eyed and awed. "You what?" she said dizzily.
"I.Erm. look, can I have a word with the girl I love without the whole bloody common room being peeping toms?!" The entire common room looked away grinning. Sirius took Jenny's hand and led her into the hall to talk to her. James turned to Lily.
"I'm going now. See you later." He said still looking perplexed.
Lily looked at his retreating back. "here goes nothing" she sighed. The others looked at her questioningly. But before they got to talk to her she had ran out of the room after James.
"Can I ask you something" she said grabbing his arm and turning him around to look at her. James shrugged.
"Why do you always annoy me? Do you do it on purpose? I mean. your always telling me what to do and stuff. Why?" she said quietly. James looked at her.
"You don't know?" he asked her.
"Would I ask you if I knew?" she replied. James sighed and ruffled his hair.
"Why?" she repeated.
"I like you ok? I've like you for ages. But you just wont give me a chance. I'm not a bad person, but you just won't look past the side of me you saw two years ago. I just.want to get on at least. You can understand that right?" he said looking at the floor. Lily looked at him.
"I'm sorry." She whispered.
"What?"
"I'm sorry James. I didn't know." Lily told him.
"Oh. That's ok." James replied. "So.erm. what now?"
"I'd like to be friends. That's if you still want to." Lily asked quietly. James beamed.
"I'd love that!" he smiled at her. His first genuine smile in a year at least. Things were getting better.
They walked together back to their common room. Each thinking that the other one wasn't really as bad as they first had thought. And each looking forward to spending the year working together.
Please, please review! I know it's not a great story but I'd like o know how many people are reading it. Ah, I gotta go write two essays now. Damn school. But every cloud has a silver lining. I'm going to see evanescence in London tonight. Yay! And I cannot believe that Wales lost in the rugby. And that try right at the end- how unfair and sneaky! Ahh, I'm angry now. (Mutters something about burning brothers England Rugby shirt) kiddin!
Tata for now, I'll update as soon as ive killed my teachers.
