Lily dragged Melanie out of the dorm. "WHY do I hafta come along?" Melanie whined.
"Because if James starts torturing me, YOU can help! Besides he won't be able to see you because you'll be invisible. The charm will only last an hour so I'll make sure he says what he has to in less than that k?" Lily explained.
Melaine frowned but let Lily make her invisible. Lily pointed her wand at Melaine, said some well chosen words, and Melanie disappeared. Lily made her way to the charms room, making sure Melanie was right behind her ( Lily, had been holding onto Melanie when she said the spell, so Lily knew where Melanie was). She stopped outside the room, and peered in, relieved to see James was by himself. She strode in and sat herself down at a desk.She quietly said, "James, I only have a half our so speak."
James looked at her and began to speak, " Evans, Our parents will make us be friends no matter what, so for the summer we'll pretend to be friends but don't think that by pretending, you'll EVER be friends with me, since well, you're a nerd and I'm not. It's all pretend, because if our parents find out we're not friends they'll stop speaking to each other and I don't want my parents upset because they lost two of their friends.ok?"
Lily gaped at him and then nodded. But only because, her parents would also be upset if they lost their friendship with the Potters. James quickly got to his feet and ent out the door. Suddenly a voice called out from behind her, "Lily? What the heck was James talking about? I mean with your parents and his parents and all that?"
Lily turned around and whispered, " I'll tell you when you come to my house. Then maybe you'll understand everything." Melanie knew that Lily had to be alone for a while, so when they both reached their dorms, Melanie declared that she would be in the linrary, earning a thankful look from Lily.

"Lily! Help me carry my stuff!" Melanie complained to Lily. Melanie would be spending two weeks with Lily then a month later, Lily would spend two weeks with Melanie and Melanie's parents would take the girls to King's Cross.
Lily laughed and ran to her parents. They hugged her and held her stuff while she went back to help Melanie.She brought Melanie to her parents and introduced them to her. They were on their way home when out of the blue Melanie asked, "Lily? What was the thing you said you'd show me when we reached your house?"
Lily knew Melanie was talking about the night in the charms room but replied, "Oh that. ummm, its not important."

"Well Hello, Sirius and Remus! I've heard so much about you two from my son!" Mrs. Potter greeted them." Now why don't you boys head outside, and the house elves will take care of your stuff."
The boys shuffled outside, towards the gardens. Sirius was looking over the fence to the house next door. Both James's house and the house next dooor were huge, but that one had a sense of coziness in it. It had this gigantic window in the back and the boys could see in. No one seemed to be around. Sirius looked at James curiously and asked, "Hey Jamesy. Who's house is that?"
James mumbled something incoherently.
Sirius perked up, "What did you say?"
James mumbled louder, "That nerd's. Evans's house."
Sirius nodded, but Remus was thinking about what Lily had said to him, "He was never mean to me before!" Now he understood. They had been next door neighbors and James had been evil to her. Remus sighed. He knew James was wrong, but how could he, a mere werewolf, corrct this?

Lily and Melanie were in Lily's room.Melanie spoke up, "Lily, I know what you wanted to show me was important so spill."
Lily looked at Melanie, then got up and took Melanie to her window. Melanie saw a big house next door. " That is James's house." Lily quietly said. " We used to be best friends and now he goes and drops me like a hot tamale."
Melanie sighed. She now understood how badly James had hurt Lily. " Lily has to get revenge or else he'll act like a pompous git forever." She thought to herself. "But how can I help?"
Just then Mrs. Evans called the girls down for dinner. Trying to make conversation Mrs. Evans asked, "Lily. How is James doing? I haven't heard anything about him in your last few letters."
Lily and Melanie exchanged glances and Lily said, "Oh he's great mom. He started dating this hufflepuff. He's just been busy with her, so we haven't talked much."
Mrs. Evans nodded.
The summer flew by for the girls. They got to know each other so well, that they could practically finish each other's sentences.
Next chappie: It'll start out end of summer before sixith year: Lily is planning revenge!
Hogwarts Express and First day feast.
