Note: None of this is mine...it's all Ms Rowling's so don't sue me!

Sorry I haven't updated! Been away for the Easter weekend!

Lily was about to pick up her 7th grade Potions textbook when a larger pair grabbed it first. She looked up and came face-to-face with James Potter. "Could my day get any worst," sighed Lily, more to herself than anyone else.

"Chill, Lil," said James. Lily just raised her eyebrows at his extremely lame rhyming. "I mean..." James tried to cover up his highly embarrassing moment," ...hi!"

"Okay, Potter, but you're just embarrassing yourself," she replied and walked away.

"Come one, Lily. Talk to me," James whined.

"How about, no," she said shortly, looking around for Cass.

"Please," he continued.

"No," she said and briskly made her way over to Cass's side.

"Hi James," said Cass cheerily.

"Please persuade your best friend to have coffee with me," he asked politely. Cass giggled.

"However much I try she'll always say 'no' so no use in trying," she said. She and Lily walked away from James looking sulkily at the two Griffindor ladies.

James walked over to Sirius' side. "No luck I'm guessing from that face."

"None," James said shortly.

"Maybe next time. I saw an improvement though. You were more James that Potter there."

"What do you mean?"

"James is my best pal here who is desperately in love with Lily Evans and Potter is the egotistical prat that surfaces when he is around Lily Evans."

"Oh...so that's a good thing, right?"

"Very good thing."
