Chapter One: Reality

- - - - - -

"Oof! Good Lord, Han, get off!"

"No! Get up."

"Just a minute for bloody hells sake!"

"James will slaughter us!"

"Try me."

"Grr."

"ALRIGHT, BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP! ITS GODDAMN FIVE IN THE MORNING AND SOME OF US ARE TRYING TO SLEEP!" 

"Um…oops…"

"Mmf."

"Delia!"

"Fine! Fine! I'm up, now screw off…"

Hannah Goldberg rolled her eyes at one of her best friends, sighing slightly as Delia rolled off the bed and fell, getting tangled up in to her bed sheets. Sure enough, the other girls were drifting back to sleep as Delia Smith stood up, stretching out her arms. "I hate James." She mumbled, yawning and lazily getting in to her scarlet Quidditch robes. Hannah smiled good-naturedly at her. "Heavens, Delia, its evaluation day, and some people would think that you would be up at four shaking in your underwear on this day!" Hannah said, raising a golden blonde eyebrow at her.

"Pah. It's just a day that James is all serious and moody and he makes us do the hard practices, and whoever flops, gets a world-wide lecture and extra practice hours." She said and shrugged, brushing her hair and then tying it in to a long ponytail, tossing the brush back by Pamela's bed as she put on her shoes and laced them up. "And besides, it isn't like James would throw any of us off. He picked out of nearly everyone who likes Quidditch in Gryffindor and he picked us, so not only are we not going to disappoint him today, he wouldn't throw us off if we did, Hannah, I mean its not like I am scared or anything, but I just know James." She said and shrugged as she and Hannah walked out of the common room, walking a t a fast pace to the Great Hall.

The castle was quiet, in a peaceful sense without all the students running around and laughing in the halls. Delia still looked tired, but there was a determined glint sparkling in her eyes, while Hannah had her usual pleasant smile on her face as she walked. They stepped in to the Great Hall quietly, and noticed that all of the team was already at the Gryffindor Table, half asleep of course. Hannah plopped down next to her fellow Chasers, Gideon Prewett and Dylan Farwell, greeting them both cheerfully, snapping them out of their daze, they both greeted her, Gideon much more miserable than Dylan, who smiled at Hannah and complemented her on the way she did her hair up.

Dylan Farwell was a Sixth Year, and a very sweet person. Dylan had hair that fell to her neck, caramel colored hair with a few natural blonde streaks in it, and eyes of a golden brown color. Her skin was very tanned, and she had a beautiful smile, although she was not that stunning altogether. She had a pointy nose, and she was of average height at 5'6". Dylan was nice to every single person she came across, and just chilled with everyone. She was very open-minded, and an avid reader, the reason why she daydreamed in most of her classes. Her grades weren't really that good, but that was just her. She had braces, although they were going to come off in the summer. Dylan was well liked between her peers, but her best friend was in Ravenclaw. Dylan was a muggle-born girl, but that didn't stop her from making a name for herself and getting friends. 

Delia sat down next to the Seeker and captain himself, Mr. Potter. "Ready to do the best you got today?" he asked her and grinned, raising his eyebrows teasingly at her as though to tell her that it was going to be hard but in a more joking than serious way.

"You'll be lucky if I let one get past me, Jim." Delia said and laughed. She was the keeper on the team. The beaters, Sirius and Sonia, were both stuffing their faces, eating competition to be exact. 

"Come on, all of you, besides Sirius and Sonia, eat something, I'm telling you its going to be a long, hard day. So get eating, I really advise you to." He said firmly, glancing around at all of them. Delia took a small bite from her buttered toast, nodding to Dylan. "James, why do we have to have an evaluation day?" Gideon asked through a mouthful of bacon. "Because I need to check up on all of your skills when things get tough, that's why." James said and grinned. "They don't call 'im Crazy Captain Potter for nothing." Sirius said and grinned at James, winking slightly.

"But we all love James, right everybody?" Sonia cried out to the team, and her question was responded to with a chorus of 'yeah!'

 Sonia Hartford was also a Sixth Year on the team, and the one who encouraged everyone and always cracked jokes to lighten the mode. So she was sort of like funny-girl. Sonia had brown hair that was curly, and fell to her shoulders, and she had big, brown eyes and brown freckles on her face. She was okay looking, and a mischievous grin always lit her face, scaring most of the teachers, and her two best friends. Sonia didn't get a long with the girls in her dorm for many reasons; she got a long with Dylan, but not the rest. Her good friend was a shy, quiet boy in Hufflepuff. Sonia didn't get a long with many people who didn't get her sense of humor and straightforward, easy-going attitude, but she didn't care, whoever didn't like her, she returned the favor.

James rolled his eyes at his team. "And what, you thought that was going to make things easier on your poor souls?"

"YEAH!" came the response.

"Too bad."

"HEY!"

Mildred McClellan rose from her bed slowly, eyes scanning the room quietly. Soft breathing could be heard all around her, indicating that all the other girls were sleeping. She glanced at Lily, who was sleeping on her stomach, her hair a tangled mess.  She smiled and put on casual, faded jeans and a light blue t-shirt, brushing her reddish-blonde hair in to a sideways ponytail high on her head. She walked out of the girls' dormitories and out of the common room. She had woken up to go watch the Quidditch team practice, since it was the reason for all the hassle made by her two friends in the first place anyway. On her way, she ran in to Fabian Prewett, Gideon's brother.

"Hi, Fabian. How are you?" she asked him with a polite smile.

"I'm fine." He said and yawned. "Sorry," he said and grinned sheepishly. "I'm so tired. My brother, James, and Sirius, thought it would be funny to make so much noise so early in the morning. Where are you headed?"

"Ah, same story as me. The other girls managed to fall back asleep but I just couldn't." she said with a light frown. "Oh, I was headed to the Quidditch pitch, watch them practice and hopefully not flop on their evaluations. It was the reason I was awoken for so I might as well go." She said and shrugged.

"Great, since that's where I'm going too!" he said and smiled, and they headed off towards the pitch together.

- - - - - -

"Alright, all of you, wake up, some of you, shut up, and listen." James snapped, growing impatient of either the snores or the chatter. The team fell silent, some heads snapping up. James glared from one face to the other. "Alright." He said. "Today, it's the Beaters' lucky day, we start with them." He said and grinned, while Sonia and Sirius didn't bat an eyelash. They were ready. "After the Beaters, the Chasers." He said. Hannah smiled nervously, Gideon gulped, and Dylan patted both of them on the back reassuringly. "And then, me, the Seeker." He said.

"And don't you look at me like that, Sonia, I did not make things simpler for myself, that I can promise," he said, "And last but not least. The Keeper." James finished off. "Now this is what I expect from you," he said, pointing his wand at the white board behind him, where a few words appeared in James' messy scrawl.

Effort

Will

Seriousness

"I want all of you to take this seriously, and I want you to give it your best shot." He said and pointed back to the board, where the order of the practices was written in a bulleted list.

Beaters

Chasers

Seeker

Keeper

"As of now, since I know there are no questions." He said superiorly, "I have found a set of new moves for each of you. All of you have to listen." He said, and turned to Delia. "I was reading a book-"

GASP.

"About Quidditch!" he snapped at Delia, blushing furiously as she smirked. "And I came across this move that you could do to trick a Chaser as they hurry to score. Look them in the eye, with a mocking look, and then move very fast from goal post to the other, and then if you can, back and forth. Confuse them. Don't stay in one spot. By doing that, they cant confuse YOU by pretending to score one way and then shooting it over to the other end, which I notice happens a lot." He said honestly and shrugged as Delia nodded. "And besides that, try not to catch the ball with your hands all the time, as it can get tricky when you're far from it."

"Okay…for the Beaters…" he started and kept on talking as the team listened to him willingly…well maybe not entirely, but they were not the bunch that wanted to disappoint their captain now.

- - - - - -

Meanwhile, inside the castle, twinkling blue eyes looked over at the many portraits in the room, a sad look inside them. Albus Dumbledore sighed, standing up from his chair from his desk and pacing around his office slowly, hands behind his back. He had heard the news, heard the rumors. Seen some believe it, and some not believe it. He hated to admit that it was most likely true, most of it made sense. It all fit together. He looked over at his beautiful phoenix, smiling sadly.

"Why," he stated in a sad, tired tone. "Would anyone want to steal the lives of others, strip people of their happiness, and steal the innocence of childhood?" he asked, as if the phoenix would answer. He did not understand why Voldemort, as he has heard people whisper in shaky tones if they dared, call him, wanted to take over the wizarding world…by ridding it of all its muggle-borns and all those he called 'blood traitors'. He was one of the first to hear of the attack on the Dupree's, and on Gerald Hart.

The Dupree's were a family of well-known, well-liked purebloods, who accepted all types of people. Mr. Dupree, had married a muggle woman, and he had two children. He had held a high position in the ministry, yet before anyone knew, they were gone, he and his family, all found in the living room of their home, looks of blank shock on their faces.

Gerald Hart was a muggle-born man. An Auror, to be exact. Very powerful, he was, skilled at his job, and a low-key kind of guy, not one to socialize. He was attacked by a group of black hooded people while at his home. The only reason they defeated him was that because he was outnumbered greatly.

Albus stared out of his window, realization dawning on him. Soon enough, these kids were not going to be able to live in peace anymore. They were not going to be able to feel safe all the time, or unsuspecting of what might go wrong next. It was all going to start, soon, he knew, it was all going to get terrible, and then worse, till one conclusion. One that might be good, and bad, he feared. Or rather, he felt.

He did not want this to happen, as everyone else did, but what could he do to stop him? To stop Voldemort and his sick followers was going to be impossible. He needed a plan, and a good one at that. But it will take time, and organization. He did not want to have to bear with the fact that soon enough people were to be torn from their families, some from their partners, and many will lose their lives at the hands of Voldemort…soon enough, soon it will all start again.

 "I don't know Lucius…" a normally snotty and superiour voice said. Right now, the voice of tone was worried, and maybe a bit withdrawn. A skinny hand ran through long, silky pale blonde hair, blue eyes twinkling nervously.

Narcissa Black could not make a decision for the first time in her life. She sat back in to the velvety silver armchair and crossed her legs in a prissy manner, intertwining her fingers together as she looked over at Lucius.

"What's there not to know, Narcissa?" Lucius said, sounding slightly irritated as he looked over at the skinny, prissy blonde girl seated on a couch in the common room, back straight of course. "Its as simple as everything else. We join, make our families proud, make ourselves proud…and its service." He said and smirked in malice at the thought. He sat next to Narcissa and wrapped his arms around her. She was the only person that he ever had to re-think things twice for. The only person he would ever consider for.

Lucius Malfoy was not going to step back from this for anyone else…even her…all right, maybe he might consider not for a little for her. Lucius Malfoy was Head Boy at this time, making him feel extra reassured of himself. His silky silver blonde hair was brushed back sleekly as always, dark gray eyes hardened.

"But what if…what if…we get hurt? Or murdered. That would be the shame of both of our families, Lucius." She said, leaning back in to him, resting her head on his chest, glaring at some of the little first years around as though daring them to go tell a teacher what she and Lucius were discussing; had they heard anything.

"I assure you, that wont happen. The Dark Lord promises safety to all those who join and their families." He drawled, twirling her hair around his finger subconsciously.

Narcissa sighed slightly, "Alright then." She said, trying not to hesitate. "If you're sure."

"Of course I'm sure." He said arrogantly, smirking slightly. "After all, who would not want to rid the world of its Mudbloods these days? And all those traitors…" he said, his eyes darkening dangerously.

Narcissa nodded, "That I can agree with." She said, turning around and planting a kiss on Lucius' cheek.

"I knew you would." He said and nodded. "Do you know who else is joining, from your dorm?" he asked her.

"Bellatrix and Rudolphus." She said. "For sure. They're Fifth Years, by the way." She said, even though she was pretty sure he knew. Her sister had agreed the moment Narcissa talked to her about, as had her boyfriend. Bellatrix was ecstatic; she couldn't wait till she left Hogwarts so she could join.

"Severus Snape is in as well. Seems like he could wait till his graduation, though." Lucius said and shrugged. "But Voldemort wants people from our year; graduates, to join. So I have Nott, Avery, and Ramstein." He said proudly.

"And I've talked to Delaney. She will be joining as well." She said and smiled slightly, the thought of her best friend joining making it a little bit easier for her to join.

Just then, Bellatrix, and Regulus Black walked through the common room doors. Narcissa and Lucius pulled apart, Narcissa waving to her sister and cousin lightly.

They raced over. "Wasps or Magpies?" Bellatrix demanded, she and Regulus standing next to each other shoulder to shoulder, out of breath, waiting eagerly for an answer.

"Magpies." Lucius and Narcissa answered at once.

"TRAITORS!" Bellatrix screeched at them, scowling as Regulus grinned triumphantly.

Lucius laughed. "What are you two on about?"

"We're making a polly." Regulus said.

"Poll." Narcissa corrected.

"Whatever." He snapped, and Lucius frowned.

"To see who people like better, Wasps or Magpies. And so far, I'm winning!" Regulus said and smiled teasingly at Bellatrix who frowned.

"The Wasps are so much better." Bella said and rolled her eyes, before she and Regulus bolted out of the common room again.

Narcissa and Lucius exchanged looks and cracked up.

"…and that's all for today's new set of moves." James said, smiling at his team, who nodded. "So are we going to win against Ravenclaw on Tuesday?" he asked, a mad glint in his eyes as he looked at them.

"YEAH!" they roared.

"LOUDER!"

"HELL YEAH!"

"Good." He said and grinned. "I thought so." He said nonchalantly and they all laughed as they stood up and walked out of the dressing rooms and out on to the Pitch.

"Right then, in to the air." James commanded in a loud voice so everyone could hear him and they all soared in to the air, forming a circle in the air.

"As I said, we are starting with the Beaters. Here is what they have to do." He said, looking over at Sonia and Sirius. "I will assign all of you a position on the field, very spread apart of course," he added. "And we will set the Bludgers loose, and all of you have to stay put in your positions, and of course the Beaters have to make sure the Bludgers hit no one. If they do, not good." James said and nodded. "Now, I don't want any of you to move, no matter how close the Bludger's get to you. Unless you have to move, do not move." He said and assigned all of them a position on the field, the found himself one.

"Let the Bludgers loose, and start!"

Sonia did so. At that moment, Mildred and Fabian had seated themselves at the Gryffindor stand. The waved to the team quickly and watched. They had heard the instructions, and the both thought James was mad.

The Bludgers zoomed out of the box, swirling around in the air before firing away in different directions. Sirius chased after one headed towards Dylan, and swung it away, smirking slightly.

'This cant be that hard.'

That was before he realized he had shot it towards Giddeon.

He went after it as fast as his broom would go and just as it was 15 inches away from Giddeon, he swung his bat back and swung it away. Giddeon was looking slightly windswept as Sirius zoomed away.

"Damn!" Sonia yelled as she beat one Bludger away and noticed that it zoomed a few inches away from James face yet she sent it all the way across the field towards Delia.

She chased after it and sent it away, with such force she swung it out of the pitch.

"THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!" James yelled to her and grinned.

Meanwhile, Sirius yelled as he collided with Hannah, and nearly knocked the girl off her broom.

"Sorry!" he said breathlessly, cursing as he zoomed away and swung the Bludger away, out of the field.

Well, this continued for another half hour, and then it was over. Sonia and Sirius were breathless, and looking disheveled by the time it was over.

"Well, that went well." James said happily as the gathered in a circle again. Some of the team members still had looks of horror on their faces from being too close to a Bludger, and some were looking fine. Sirius and Sonia were tired, and trying not to glare at James.

"Now, the Chasers." He said and smiled, turning towards the three Chasers. They all looked ready.

"I want all of you to be side by side on the field, evenly spaced out of course, leaving a lot of space, I want you spread out across the whole field side by side, and then I will assign the other team members to be in those two spaces, and then the Chasers take off, and they must not separate from the straight line they are in. All of you must remain at the same line no matter what. You will be passing the Quaffle to each other in order, and the other team members will be moving up and down as we go from one end of the field to the other."

Hannah looked nervous, and Giddeon looked slightly surprised, but Dylan smiled.

"Right then, in your places." He said.

It looked like this:

H                        G                   D

          D So               S J

And it had to stay like that all from one end of the field to the other, with the Chasers remaining in the same line, and the others moving up and down while the Chasers passed to each other.

The practice went on for half an hour, encouraged by Mildred and Fabian, who were cheering…and yelling to be careful at some points, and by the end of the practice, half the team had a small bump on their head.

"Now its my turn." He said and grinned. "All of you fly around the field really fast, all across, and yell out at me where the Snitch is. Just any direction, of course, and I have to find it. In three minutes tops." He said. "I have Sonia timing me. And by the way, we will repeat this for half an hour."

10 minutes later, on James' third try.

"LEFT!"

"RIGHT!"

"JAMES, DOWN THERE TO THE LEFT!"

"DOWN JAMESIE!"

James flew around, trying to block their voices and find a fleck of gold. He did, by Sonia's head. He zoomed towards it as it flew downwards, very near the ground. If he didn't make a sharp turn upwards just then, he might as well die. He didn't. Dylan screamed as James collided with the ground roughly, his hand outstretched. Sirius jumped off his broom, he was about seven feet from the ground, and ran towards James, as did Giddeon.

James stuck his hand up.

"I caught it!"

"POTTER YOU ASSHOLE!" Delia screamed, and Hannah sighed in relief, Mildred rolling her eyes at his antics as Fabian laughed his head off at Dylan, who still looked dumbstruck.

James had hurt his shoulder, and his neck, but he insisted on going to the game.

By the time Delia's practice had finished, the team had been practicing for four hours, since James had put on a small match at the end.

The team all looked like a real mess. They had been practicing from 6 to 10. As they walked inside the castle, they all headed towards the Great Hall again, some to eat and some to sit with their friends.

Hannah, Delia and Mildred parted from the team and found Lily sitting by herself.

"Hi!" she said and smiled pleasantly at her friends as they sat down, Delia looked grumpy and Hannah looking happy. "How was practice?"

"Great." Hannah answered for both of them, since Delia was stuffing her face.

"Potter nearly killed himself." Mildred said and rolled her eyes remembering his antics.

"Nearly?" Lily said disappointedly.

"Lily." Hannah said and frowned.

"Hannah." Lily said.

Delia snickered and Mildred laughed as Hannah stuck her tongue out at Lily.

- - - - - -

"Padfoot?" James said, turning to Sirius who was stuffing his face.

"Yeah?" Sirius said as he swallowed, turning to James.

"Do you think she…Evans, do you think she really hates me?"

Sirius paused, looking over at Lily, who was laughing.

"No. I don't think she does." He said and smiled at James, who smiled back. "She doesn't hate you, but she definitely hates what you do. See, Prongs, its not you that she hates. Your actions make her hate you." He said and shrugged. "I mean, she thinks you're conceited. Remember her speech?" he asked and grinned. "We leave school in a week. Who knows what will happen over the summer?"

What the boys didn't know was that a lot was going to happen over the summer…a lot.

- - - - - -

"The Hogsmeade trip is in…" Delia said, then paused, thinking. "Two hours!" she said cheerfully. "And we are all going to go!" she continued as the other girls stared at her. "First, I hate to break it to you Lily, you need a haircut, and then we need to go get Hannah some new robes, and then Mildred needs to buy make up, and I need…uh…a new quill." She said and grinned.

"Right." Mildred said. "How many times have we told you not to go through our trunks?"

"I forgot," she said, waving her hand indifferently. "I did look through your stuff and I couldn't help noticing that Hannah had some puce robes that make my eyes hurt, and she has these disgusting shit brown robes that need to be burned in hell…and Lily's hair is frizzed…," she said, clapping her hands together. "Lets get moving, we have two hours to get ready."

Lily choked on her pumpkin juice. "Excuse me?"

"Hannah is going to be with Samuel after she's done with us. The trip is four hours after all. Two us, two him." She said and shrugged. "And I am going with Adam Davies." She said and grinned.

"Adam Davies?" Lily said and all three girls cracked up.

"What?!" Delia snapped, blushing furiously.

"He's been flirting with you since, oh, third year, and now she takes notice, you can be so dull sometimes!" Mildred said as soon her laughter died down in to a chuckle.

Delia rolled her eyes. "Harharhar."

"What's so unfunny?" Sirius asked as he sat down next to Delia.

"They think I'm stupid because Adam Davies has been flirting with me since third year and just now I notice." She said and rolled her eyes. "Oh. He is kind of lame, you see, that's why you didn't notice." Sirius said and grinned.

"He is not!" Three guesses who said that.

 "I mean, he can never answer back when James is talking to him!"

"That's because James has been talking back to people ever since he learned to talk!"

"True!" Lily suddenly piped up.

"Yes, but, Davies is just a chicken. He's annoying."

"And are you trying to suggest, Sirius Black, in your own delusional way, that you are better?"

"Maybe."

And then Delia started to laugh her head off. "Adam is so much nicer than you are, Sirius."

"Yeah." Sirius said, sighing disappointedly. "And stupider."

"Are you saying that he's not good enough for me and you are?"

"Yes."

"How?"

"I'm too good for you, Smith, I was merely telling you that he is bellow you."

SPLASH.

"I was going to drink that!" an annoyed fourth year said as Sirius blinked. He had just had a tumbler of pumpkin juice turned over him. "Girls these days, and how they deal with honesty." He said and rolled his eyes, and just then, three more glasses of pumpkin juice were emptied over his head as Lily and the two other girls followed after Delia, who was on her way out of the hall, laughing.

Whoever said that Sirius was an insane hyper kid sure did have problems.

- - - - - -

"Aw, poor Sir. Doom – and – Gloom for splashed out by four girls?" James said, cackling as Sirius rejoined his friends, pounding his fists on the table.

"Be quiet, Jim, I was merely stating out facts to Smith. Your wife agreed with me on…some points." He said and smirked. James sputtered and stopped laughing, cuffing Sirius over the head. Sirius was known for being too arrogant to pay attention to anyone except for those he wanted to. Meaning that he only paid attention to his friends, and to others…when he felt like it. Sure, he and the other boys were the height of cool (A/N: *quoting Remus*), but that didn't mean that he had to be nice too right?

Well, the author chose to have Sirius as more of a stubborn, daring, mischievous and maybe sort of mysterious boy in her story instead of your average hyperoid.

"Are we going to Hogsmeade?" Peter piped up.

"I know I am." Sirius said and shrugged, glancing at the other boys.

"I cant." Remus said and sighed. "I have an Astronomy Chart to finish."

"Bummer." Sirius said and frowned. "Prongs?"

"I'm going."

"Pete?"

"I cant, I'm not done my chart either, so me and Remus are finishing ours together." He said and shrugged.

"Okay, Jimmy, 'tis just you and I then."

"You and I!" James mimicked in a high-pitched voice.

Sirius blushed and glared at James. "Not my fault I grew up with prissy people!"

At Hogsmeade

- - - - - -

"PUT.IT.ON." Delia commanded, shoving a fancy dress robes in to Hannah's hands and pushing her in to the dressing room, rolling her eyes slightly as she stepped in to the one next to it.

"But…but…they're just robes!" Lily said as she was also bullied in to trying some on, as was Mildred.

Delia gasped. "You…you…you make it sound like…they're just…just fancy pieces of clothe sewed together!"

"Delia, your dress robes are just fancy pieces of clothes sewn together." Mildred said in a news-flash kind of voice.

Mildred was staring in to mirror. She was wearing velvet, dark purple set of dress robes. The robes had a low neck cut, slightly rounded so that they barely hung off her shoulders. They were slightly loose, with a golden thing in loops all around that tied at her belly button and hung down, yet flowed out softly from her lower waist down. Mildred looked good in them, since her pale, lightly freckled complexion and reddish-blonde hair just fit with the dark purple color.

"I don't like them." She said and sighed.

"Why not?" Lily asked, looking over at Millie. "You look great. At least you don't have to wear the type that I'm wearing! They're the itchy kind!"

Just then, Hannah came out, rolling her eyes. She was wearing baby blue robes that had long sleeves that flowed out at her hands. They were tight all the way down to her lower waist, then the flowed out, and sort of trailed behind her when she walked, but not too much so that it was annoying. They had a hood in the back, and the same kind of belt as on Millie's except the one on this robe was silver. The robes had another layer of material over them, a light silvery one. She looked amazing in them.

"Oh my God!" Delia squealed as she hopped out of the dressing room, "Hannah, if you don't buy these, I'm going to buy them for you!" she said and grinned "You look so pretty in them!"

"You do!" Lily said and grinned as Hannah frowned.

"And those puce robes are scary." Millie said and nodded.

"Fine." Hanah grumbled. "Delia…what are you wearing?"

Delia laughed. She was wearing dress robes that were tight from shoulders to ankles. They were a metallic shade, and she couldn't walk in them. She was just being silly anyway. Lily laughed. "Ha, you aren't actually going to buy those are you?"

"Of course not!" she laughed. "I was being silly." She said and stumbled back in to the dressing room to take them off. All the girls changed out of the dress robes and back in to their normal clothes. Lily was wearing a white skirt that flowed to her knees, and classy white sneakers. She was also wearing a navy blue sweater. Her hair was in a neat ponytail with strands in her face. That was Lily's style; classy.

The girls walked out of the shop. Delia had bought a white set of dress robes, and Hannah the blue ones. Next, they were all dragging Millie in to a make up store.

"I don't know what to get. Yay. We can leave now!" she said and grinned.

"Oh no we don't!" Delia said and dragged her over to a stand with red and peach colors.

She gave Mildred of pink-red lipstick, and Millie reluctantly applied it. She looked nicer, but just then Lily nearly tied her on to a chair and applied very light gold eye shadow to her eyes, and Hannah added on the mascara.

"It works!" Delia cried out happily.

"It does not!" Mildred complained, sighing slightly as her friends rubbed off the other make-up and applied other shades. Finally, an hour later after they had convinced Millie to buy herself a set of make up that would suit her skin tones, did she agree and they headed to a hair saloon to get Lily's hair done.

Lily knew her hair had split ends and she had not problem with getting it cut. Except one thing.

"Cut it to your neck!" Delia said and grinned.

"No way!" Lily said, shaking her head. "Just to my shoulders." She insisted, and so that was done. After that, the girls parted ways. Hannah skittered off to the Three Broomsticks to meet Samuel, and Delia to Honeydukes to meet Adam. Mildred and Lily smiled at each other. "So where do you want to go?" Lily asked.

"Scrivenshafts Quill Shop." Mildred answered and they headed off.

- - - - - -

James and Sirius examined a bright red, rather ugly quill in the back of the shop, cracking up over it as James stuck it behind his ear and made girly faces. The owner of the shop was smiling, shaking his head slightly as they put it back and picked up a dark blue one, that Sirius liked. "Oh, this one is pretty nice." Sirius said, buying it without bothering to check for the price. James got a dark green one. "Wonder why?" Sirius said, whistling innocently.

Just then, Lily and Mildred stepped in. Lily nearly made a move to turn back around and leave as soon as she James, but Mildred squeezed her arm and dragged her forward in to the shop.

"Hi." James said to Mildred and Lily.

"Hello James." Mildred said. Lily said nothing, pretending to look at a hideous gray and orange quill.

James got irritated. He got ignored even trying to be nice? Fine then. "What, Evans, am I too not worth your time so that you can even say hello back or are you just too self righteous that I'm out to kill you?" he asked, half jokingly, half angrily.

"No Potter, I just chose not to associate with people like yourself." She snapped.

"I know, because your holier-than-thou attitude wont allow it, right?" he asked, as he walked past her and out of the shop with Sirius.

Lily growled, nearly crushing the quill she was holding. "Idiot." She mumbled, picking up a golden brown quill, which shimmered slightly with the suns rays. "This is a nice one." She said and paid for it, glad it was a reasonable price.

Mildred picked a black one, and with that, they left for Honeydukes to buy some chocolate and candy.

Back at the common room after the trip

"Sam was so nice to me!" Hannah gushed, her dark brown eyes twinkling. "Look what he gave me!" she squealed pointing at her neck. Delia smiled at Hannah, "Oooh, that's so nice!" she said, closely examining the necklace that hung off Han's neck. It was a golden locket with an S [heart shape] H on it in tiny diamonds. Not real, though. "How pretty." Lily said, smiling at how happy Hannah was. Mildred grinned, "I'm happy for you," she said.

"So am I!" Sirius said and grinned as he and James walked past, laughing loudly.

Lily nearly took out her wand and fired a spell at Sirius before Delia and Mildred pushed her back in to her seat. Hannah's smile faltered a little and Lily felt her blood boil again.

"Oooh let me curse him, D, just one!" Lily growled. "There was more?" Millie muttered.

"You'll get in trouble, Lily. You're a Prefect. Besides, I don't care what he say's," Hannah said confidently and touched her necklace, smiling happily again. That seemed to have a small calming affect on Lily.

Soon enough, after four hours of talking, laughing and playing Exploding Snap with other house members, most of the people went to sleep. Just Lily and James were left then, with a half asleep third year in the far back corner.

Lily was doing some homework, and James was just sitting there.

Lily couldn't stand it anymore.

"What is your problem, Potter?" she asked and glared at him. She had still felt slightly angry from the day's earlier events.

"No, Evans, what's your problem? What have I done to you?" he snapped.

"What have you done to me? What have you done to me?" she demanded, standing up. "You be nasty to my friends and you expect me to be nice to you? Boy, Potter, you are dull!" she laughed, but mock laughing.

"It was none of your business, Evans! Keep your nose where it belongs, in a book or something!" he said. Lily blinked. It should have not affected her as much as it had.

"What's that supposed to mean?" She demanded.

"It means," he said, standing up, "That maybe you should stop walking around telling people what to do when it isn't any of your business. Stop putting people down, its not your right to. What else? I told you to stuff your nose in a book because it seems to me like you do the world better when you keep your nose in a book instead of actually being social and annoying everyone else when you do so. You can't seem to grasp the fact that you shouldn't always act then think." He said, before realizing the impact of his words on Lily. He knew he was being cruel, he knew not a word her said was true. People liked Lily, but he was just getting to her to annoy her, to hurt her as much as she hurt him.

Lily had tears streaming down her face. "You…you don't know anything about me Potter, so…so just shut up!" she said and pushed past him in to the girls' dormatories. 

It just then that reality dawned on them and they knew how much each the others words always made them either shatter or smile.

Hey everybody! Sorry for the very long wait for the second chapter! Tis just that I have been so darn lazy this past month, and I had writers block. And the other half of it is that while I was writing this chapter, I was up to a good six pages when my @#%*=! computer turned off. Just like that. Boom. Bye six-pages-of-hard-work!  And I was so pissed off I didn't write for two weeks. Then I got over it and started again. Hah. So all of yews tell me how this chapter was. Which scene was your favorite and why? Was there anything funny? Anything that sucked or should change? I want to hear it folks!

Oh, and I do not want anyone to review yelling at me that JAMES IS A CHASER. I do not believe that he is. Period, if you don't like that and are going to make a huge fuss out of it, do not read this story. If you want to tell me what you think James is in your review, great. But I do not want an argument with any reviewer. Thanks.

Thanks to: Allie, Muzicizdbest (glad to see someone thinks that Titanic is actually a drama not a comedy :P), Falene (She is like you? That's cool! ^_^. Tell me in what ways!), evilgurl, Dee Ann, FrEgOrGeLuVeR225 (Thanks!).
