Lily Evans wrinkled her nose in disgust and flipped her long auburn hair
over her shoulder. "That was not funny," she sighed, putting a hand on her
hip and glaring towards her cauldron.
Daniel Noonan, a good-looking 17-year-old boy with short dark hair and light blue eyes laughed lightly. "Oh c'mon Lil. You're such a snob!"
Lily raised one perfectly plucked eyebrow at him. Right then, with her nose in the air, her hand on her hip and a sulky expression on her face, she filled many people's description of a snob. The fact that she always looked immaculate added to this, with her beautiful features and expensive clothes.
Now, someone who was devastatingly pretty and rich should in all fairness be totally thick, right?
Wrong.
Lily Evans was pretty, popular, rich and happened to be smart enough to have gotten the title as Head Girl She was envied and admired by many. The girl just seemed. perfect.
"I am not a snob," Lily retorted. "How does being upset about my potion make me a snob Danny?"
"Because. You're not worried about your potion at all. You're worried 'cause it's splattered on your robes," he grinned, shaking his head a little.
Lily's eyes immediately went down to her clothing. "It's on my robes?" she started to cry, but then realised what he was doing when she saw nothing there.
"You're so mean," she sighed, going back to stirring the potion Danny had just ruined for a 'joke'.
"But you love me anyway," Danny replied, wrapping his arms around her waist and resting his chin on her shoulder.
"Sure I do," Lily murmured, hiding her smile. "Seriously, you're as bad as the Marauders."
Danny laughed at being compared to the biggest pranksters in the school. Everyone knew the Marauders. Just as everyone knew him and his gang. Which Lily hung around in.
"The Marauders? Cool. That's not a bad thing," Danny replied, letting go of his girlfriend and hoisting himself up onto a tabletop. "You done yet? I'm bored."
"Of course you're bored," Lily said. "You have the attention span of a two year old. Besides, I didn't ask you to come. You just turned up!"
Danny looked at her tragically. "Are you trying to say you don't want me?" he whined.
Lily rolled her eyes. "Oh shut up. And I would be nearly done, if you hadn't just vandalised the whole thing, you prat."
"Does it really matter that much anyway? You're too smart for your own good. Come on! Tell your stupid Professor you didn't have enough time. As if he'll mind. You shouldn't be asked to do work outside school time!"
"I wasn't asked, I offered to-"
"Exactly! So he won't care," Danny jumped off the table and in one swift movement he grabbed her wrist and led her out of the dungeon.
Lily moaned half-heartedly. She did want to finish her work, but didn't pull out of his grip. Instead she let herself be dragged towards the Great Hall.
"Hey Lils," Courtney said casually, when they met her in the corridor. Courtney Addison was Lily's best friend. No matter how many friends Lily had, Courtney had always been her closest. Ever since they had first met in Diagon Alley. "I thought you were doing that extra work for Bowker?" Courtney tucked a lock of her long blonde hair behind her ear as she glanced towards the Potion classroom, as if expecting the teacher to walk out at that moment.
"I was," Lily confirmed. "But he got lonely." Lily nodded her head slightly towards Danny, who simply smiled innocently in return.
"Aww. Diddums," Courtney shook her head, smiling slightly.
"So where are the others?" Lily asked, as they started off towards the Great Hall.
Courtney shrugged as Danny slipped his arm around Lily's shoulders. "I'm not sure. I think Mattie's looking for Danny-"
"Oh yeah! I was supposed to meet him! Gotta go. 'Bye!" he kissed the top of Lily's head quickly and then sped off.
"Okay," Courtney laughed. "That's one problem solved. Don't even ask where Kim is. I have no idea."
"Maybe she's having dinner," Lily suggested, as they rounded the corner to go into the Great Hall.
Sure enough, they immediately spotted Kimberley's long dark curls at the Gryffindor table. When they walked closer, they noticed she was talking to several boys. She was leaning on her hands, her glossy hair falling in front of her face.
"Ooh, it's the Marauders!" Courtney whispered next to Lily. "Great! I've been dying for a chance to talk to them."
Lily rolled her eyes. "Well it's not hard Court. They've been out with just about every girl going. Oh, please don't tell me you're interested in one of the Marauders."
"I'm not," Courtney replied. "I'm interested in all of the Marauders! Besides, none of us have ever gone out with any of them. So. I think they deserve a chance, at least."
Lily shook her head and sighed as her friend grabbed her arm and dragged her towards the table.
