The common room door opened once again and this Lily stepped inside, back from her gruesome date.
"You're back," a familiar voice said happily.
Lily rubbed her eyes and saw James sitting on the cushions, patting the seat next to her.
"James, it's late. What are you doing up?" Lily asked, taking a seat.
"I decided to wait up for you," James told her. Janelle had gone up to bed a couple hours prior, but James had other plans.
"How was your evening?" James asked, noticing Lily appeared extremely tired.
"Oh, it was horrible! Brad is such a jerk! Self-centered too." Lily wrinkled her nose, to which James laughed lightly. "All he talked about was him, him, him." Lily said, leaning back into the soft cushions. James watched her, and was secretly glad the date had gone so badly.
"I know what you mean. Well, sort of. All Janelle talks about is me. It's annoying..." James said. Lily's eyes darted.
"Janelle?" Lily asked. James noticed her eyes glowed a different shade of green. Jealousy, perhaps?
"Yea, we uhh...talked, tonight." James said.
"Oh, I see. About what?" Lily asked curiously.
"Nothing, really. Hey uhh...Lily, do you want to maybe, go for a butterbeer next Hogsmeade weekend?" James asked nervously.
Lily's eyes sparkled. "As in, a date?" she asked.
"Yea, a date." James agreed. She was going to reject him, again. James could feel it.
A date, with James? Obviously James wasn't over her; and Lily was sure she wasn't over him either. What harm could a single date do?
"All right," Lily said slowly, making up her mind. James did a double-take.
"Really?" he said happily.
"Yes, really. James, I'm really tired. I'm going to head up to bed," Lily said yawning and wishing James good-night.
"Night," James replied happily, his eyes following her up the dormitory stairs.

"Janelle!" Faryn shrieked. "Did you hear?"
Janelle took a seat next to Faryn at the Gryffindor table.
"Hear what?" Janelle asked, grabbing a slice of toast.
"About James and Lily..." Faryn said excitedly.
Janelle's heart dropped. What about James and Lily?
"James asked Lily out, and Lily accepted!" Faryn continued. "They make such a cute couple, don't you think?"
"Yea, umm...yea," Janelle was in utter surprise. After the way James's kissed her last night...and then he goes and asks perfect Lily Evans out!
"...of course, James has been after Lily for years. It's about time they got together. I think Lily started..."
"Oh, shut up with it, will you?" Janelle snapped angrily, getting up from her seat and walking furiously out of the Great Hall.
"What's up with her?" Liesl asked.
"I don't know," Faryn answered, completely confused.
~*~
"Lily!" Brad caught up with the red-head as she reached the Great Hall.
"Hi, Brad," Lily said.
"Listen, there's another Hogsmeade trip this weekend. How about it?"
Lily paused and looked at him. "Uhh, Brad...I don't think we should see each other anymore,"
Brad's eyes flashed with rage. "Why, Lily?" he tried to control his temper.
"It's just, not working out," Lily said simply.
"And what is working out? You and Potter?" Brad asked, grabbing her wrists violently and pinning her against the wall.
"Brad!" Lily cried. "Let me go! You're hurting me!"
"But I didn't have my fun yet, Evans. And I ALWAYS get my fun," Brad said viciously, smiling at her. He planted a big kiss on her lips. And as much as Lily struggled, she was couldn't escape the powerful grasps of a strong Quidditch player.
Then, out of nowhere, a camera began snapping pictures. But Lily never saw the face of the photographer, because he or she was hidden behind Brad.
"LET GO!" Lily shouted, thrusting all of her weight and me against Brad. It finally worked, and Lily was released.
"What, Evans? Not happy? Isn't this your fulfillment in life? To play around with two guys? Me, and Potter..." Brad laughed.
"No, you sick bastard." Lily said, raged with tears. She turned on her heel and hurried back to Gryffindor Tower.
