Chapter 4
The sun shone brightly on the grounds of Hogwarts. Birds singing and the Giant Squid roaming in the shadowy depths of the lake, it was a serene morning. All was tranquil, except in Gryffindor tower in the seventh year's girl's dormitory where emotions were running high.
"LILY! LILY EVANS! GET UP!" Skye shouted at the sleeping Lily.
"No not the green monkeys! Not the gree….. " Was Lily's in auditable response.
Skye shook her shoulders violently. Lily's eyes flashed open, jolted up, and yelled, "Where's the fire!" Skye slapped her.
Lily seemed to have come back to reality, as she clutched her, now red, cheek. "Geezz Skye! What was that for", Lily said pointedly.
"'Cause the green monkeys are chasing you!" Aidian called from the bathroom.
"Actually," Kiki started, putting on her socks," you only have 10 minutes to get ready."
"Urg! Why didn't you tell me!?" Lily stated, while running towards the bathroom, practically steam rolling over Aidian in the process.
"I just did, Lily dear", Kiki called after her.
"Grouchy, grouchy…. Hey, I thought she had stopped sleeping later than us along time ago?" Jayne asked. It was a proven fact that Lily was up before everyone else, on most occasions, as soon as she was able to tell time.
"Good point," Skye said worriedly to the closed bathroom door.

Breakfast was well on its way when Lily emerged through the grand entrance of the great hall. Lily stalked over to the Gyffindor table and sat huffily down next to Sirius.
Sirus looked at her with sheer amusement on his suave face, "For what do I owe this grand pleasure of sitting next to the lovely Lily of the Valley?"
In return he received a stare of pure venom. Sirius looked from Lily to Skye, whom was across from him, with a puzzled expression. Skye returned the countenance. Oblivious, Lily snatched a slice of toast and held it, never bringing it to her lips.
Sirius leaned towards Skye and spoke softly, "What's got her in a huff?"
"Well I did slap her, but, you see, that's the only way to wake our dear friend up. I've done it before, and she's never said a 'boo' about it", Skye replied.
Lily, engrossing herself in staring at her toast, tried not to focus on the constant bickering enveloped in the Great Hall. Despite Lily's efforts to tune out the chatter, her mind had other intentions…..
"Sirius, where is James this fine morning?", Kiki questioned Sirius. She sat down at the table, her blonde hair flowing.
"I believe he is over at the Ravenclaw table with Melissa", Sirius replied, as he motioned towards the table, where, indeed, sat James.
….. Lily's ears heard, and her eyes darted over to the Ravenclaw table. The same bitter sweet feeling returned to the pit of her stomach, but stronger. Lily's eye's had glowing embers in her shocking emerald eyes. Lily's mind started racing. Thoughts were coming very quickly, 'What is she doing with him! I thought I was….' Lily put her hand over her mouth, not believing she was having these "thoughts". Unbeknownst to Lily, Kiki was watching her every move.

The day was almost over and students we trudging to their last class off the day. Across the long corridor on the 1st floor, Lily, Kiki, and Skye made their way to Charms. Lily was silently going through what had happened that morning at breakfast. Then out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a certain girl and guy (A/N: Melissa and James..geeze) walking ahead of the trio.
"OHH!!", screamed Melissa as she toppled over in the hallway over a misplaced book. Then James made a stunning catch. The students around "ooooo-ed" at the catch. ''Thank you James!" Melissa smiled up at him, "I love you!". James swept her into a kiss which made many turn away in disgust.
The embers in Lily's eyes grew, yet again, a shade brighter. "Get a room", Lily muttered harshly, but it was enough for Kiki to hear.
The girls had walked past the couple and where, again, on their way to Charms. Walking briskly ahead of Kiki and Skye, Lily stopped, as Kiki called out, "Lily, I think….. someone's jealous!"
Lily stopped dead in her tracks; turned on her heel directly in front of Kiki. "I am not", Lily said in a serious tone, her cheeks flushed.
"Dead give away, m' dear!", Skye said in the air of one commenting on the weather, while pointing at Lily's cheek.
"No I'm not", Lily retorted un convincingly, "I'll show you". Looking away from Kiki and Skye, her eyes found an immensely attractive 7th year Ravenclaw walking to the Charms door. "Reeve!", Lily called after him. The savvy guy turned his chocolate eyes over to whom had addressed him. And walked over.
"Hey, Lily", Reeve Madison said interestedly, "What's goin' on?"
"I was just wondering if you would like to be my date next Hogsmade weekend?", Lily said seductively.
A grin made it's way on to Reeve's lips at the prospect of going out with The Lily Evans, "I'd love too". He held out his arm; Lily encircled her own. A small smile formed on Lily's rosy lips, as they made their way to the Charms door.
Skye looked at the retreating backs of the new couple; her mouth open. She looked to Kiki, whose eyebrows raised dangerously high. "I cannot believe she did that. I cannot believe she just did that", Skye said in utter disbelief as she and Kiki walked into the Charms classroom.
