Lily and Melanie had become great friends. Melaine was a shy girl with brown hair and honey colored eyes.Lily on the other hand was a redhead with sparkling green eyes. Besides the differences they were really close.
two weeks before school ended
Lily and Melanie were walking down the hall to Charms when Lily realsed she'd forgotten her notes. she told Melaine to get to class and she'd be right back. She walked up the steps leading towards the gryffindor tower where she heard voices. Her heart jumped when she heard James talking. Then she came to her senses and remembered they weren't friends anymore.
She neared the portrait and somebody bumped into her.James. He looked at her startled then got a mean look and slammed her against a wall almost making her break her nose.
"Watch it, dork!" He sneered.
Lily looked as if she were to cry. James snarled, " OOOOOO! is the poor nerd gonna cry? aww. you poor baby!"
Lily rushed into the portrait and ran to her room.She could hear James's friends laughing outside. She slipped onto her bed and started sobbing.
There was a knock at her door and a boy with sandy brown hair stepped in. Lily recognized him as one of James's friends.
" What do you want?" she fumed.
" Lily, I think you should know that James wasn't being fair to you. I think he's acting like a prat." The boy spoke soothingly.
Lily looked at him, and in his eyes she saw warmth, " What's your name?"
He smiled, "Remus.Remus Lupin."
Lily asked him teary-eyed, " Remus, why did James do that? I mean, he was never mean to me before!" She burst into a fresh wave of tears.
Remus looked surprised, "Lily, he wants to impress everyone by acting like a git, just so some stupid hufflepuff would go out with him. Lily, I have a question. What do you mean by before? he never said anything about before. He just said that..... never mind. I don't want you more upset than you already are."
Lily sent him a thankful look. "Thanks Remus."
Remus grinned, "Anytime Lily. What are friends for?"
Lily smiled back. She had made another friend.

James Potter sighed to himself. His heart was breaking. He knew he shouldn't have hurt his best friend( or EX-best friend now) but he knew that once he was popular ( and he would be after dating that hufflepuff, Lori) he would have tons of best friends. And besides Lily could take care of herself. She was a girl. She should have girl friends, not guy friends. He looked up at his new best friend,Sirius, who was telling a corny joke. James put on a smile and laughed anyway. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Lily was knocked out of her daydream remembering her charms notes. She looked at her watch, grabbed her notes and ran out the portrait ( thanking god no one was there).
She arrived at Charms five minutes late.
"Miss Evans. May I ask why you're late?" Prof. Flitwick asked her in front of everybody.
Lily blushed, hating to have everyone's attention on her, "umm Prof. My bag ripped and my stuff went everywhere."
Prof. Flitwick knew this was a lie, but since she was his best student in over a century he knew it must have been something important. "Oh well then, Miss Evans please take a seat."
Lily relivied that she was out of the spotlight sank into her seat next to Melanie. Melanie shot her a curious glare but Lily ignored it.
In the middle of the lesson Lily suddenl found two notes on her desk. She opened the first one up and read:
hey nerd!
haha. Nice excuse. Too bad no one believed it! we all know that you were actually crying right? CRY BABY!
( in the secret writing that James and her had made up (when they were ten) it said: )
Evans, meet me in the empty Charms room tognight at 7:30 pm. Its urgent. About our parents.
James
Lily's eyes were brimming with tears. How could he say such things to her and then ask her to meet him later? What a jerk! The only way she would be going to meet him tonight was if Melanie came with her.
She opened the second note expecting more nasty comments but it was a note from Melanie intead.
Lils,
I know the excuse you gave in class wasn't true. I'm not going to push it. My parents ( I told them about you) wanted to know if you'd like to come to my house later in the summer? What do you think? write back!
Mel
Lily took out a piece of paper and scribbled :
Mel, I'd love to visit you and your family. Actually MY parents were wondering if you'd like to come to my house sometime this summer too! What do you say? Lets talk about this later before we get into trouble!
Lils
Melanie read the note and smiled at Lily, who smiled back.Then they quickly went back to work. Lily was thinking about what the meeting with James would be like.
