Misty's deep purring woke Lily up from her deep slumber. She flopped over on her side, to look at the time. She had ten minutes until class begun.
"I'm gonna be late!" Lily cried, leaping up. She headed for the shower, but heard it was already running,
"James! Get your ass out!" Lily bellowed. She wasn't one to curse, but drastic times called for drastic measures. The shower stopped, and Lily heard a grunt in reply. The door swung open, and there stood Sirius Black, clad only in a lop-sided towel.
"Aaah!" Lily cried. "What are you doing here?" Just then, James rounded the corner, fully dressed and ready.
"I let Si use our bathroom...it's really nice." James said calmly. Lily just stared for a moment, then like a flash, she dove past Sirius, and closed the door.
"My robes were in there..." Sirius began, ready to knock on the door. James shook his head, and Sirius lowered his hand.
"She's late and I'll bet she still needs to apply hours of make-up." James said, grinning. "Leave her alone if you like your balls where they are."
"Fair enough. I'll use your robes, then." Sirius said. "let's go...I personally don't want to run into a late, pissed off Lily. I think her eyes would shoot sparks."
"Or her hair." James added. Sirius got changed quickly, and before they could walk out, Lily came out of the shower.
"That was fast..." James began. As Lily raced out, in only a towel, the usual pains in his manhood started up again. Beside him, he heard Sirius curse under his breath, and he figured the same was happening to his best friend.
"Come on." he told Sirius, and headed out. Sirius followed reluctantly.
"Holy shit!" Sirius cried, grinning. "I really wanted that towel to fall off."
"Oh, come on..." James said, "Let's get some breakfast."
"What happened to James the horn dog? Don't tell me you didn't feel the bulge!" Sirius taunted as they headed down to the Great Hall. Meanwhile, Lily flung on her robes, and raced out into the hallway. Realizing she had no time for breakfast, she headed to Arithmancy. She ran into James on the way.
"Hey, Evans. I brought you a muffin...figured you wouldn't have a chance to get breakfast." James said, blushing slightly. Lily was surprised, and was about to say her thanks when Peter Pettigrew distracted James.
"I've got Divination, Padfoot. Any advice?" he asked timidly.
"Yeah...don't listen to Trelawney." James kidded. Peter grinned and dashed off.
"I don't think you should be giving him advice like that when he worships you so much...." came the soft voice of Remus.
"Aw, he knows I was kidding, Moony." James argued. Just then, a group of girls headed for Lily. Elle was one of them. Lily noticed Theia wasn't there, having already gone to Muggle Studies. Unlike Lily, Theia was born to wizards, and was fascinated by muggle uses, especially the telephone. Sirius was in the same class.
"Hey, Lily." Elle greeted. The other girls waved. Lily greeted them. They talked a bit, but the conversation kept turning to James and Sirius, no matter how hard Lily tried to change the subject.
"So..James is sure good at Quidditch." Elle began.
"Yeah. I sure hope the Chudley Cannons end their losing streak." Lily supplied.
"You share a dorm with him..."
"Yeah. It's nice and all, but I miss the groups of people in the Gryffindor common room." Lily finished. Elle seemed to realize their conversation was going nowhere. She switched to Sirius.
"Sirius has been hanging out with your friend Theia alot." Elle stated. Aha. Lily thought. Elle was jealous.
"Yes, he has."
"Have you been hanging out with Theia at night?"
"Until I go to my dorm..." Lily said. Elle didn't have a chance to ask Lily more, because Arithmancy class began. Lily gazed about. She noticed an empty space by Leilanni Parker, and considered sitting down. But she wanted to study with Remus, and turned to sit with him and James.
"Hey Evans," James said, squishing over. Remus was startled as James suddenly slid him along the bench, but smiled as she spotted Lily.
"Hi James, Remus."
"Hi Lily."
And with that, they began their first class together. It was hard work, but Lily was amazed at how good James was at it. Again, he wasn't fooloing around, and was truly working. And the end of the class, she had considerably warmed up to him.
"We've got alot of homework due next class. Which is in a week. How about the three of us meet one night to finish it?" Lily suggested. James' heart gave a leap. She hadn't just ignored him, and talked to Moony about studies. She had said 'three.' He grinned.
"I'm up for it, Moony?"
"Yes. Not tonight though. I've got Prefect duties." Remus said. Lily hadn't had a single Head Girl task, she assumed because the year was going along so well. For now, she simply acted as a Prefect, telling kids off for using magic in the corridors, and yelling at Peeves for threatening the first years. They decided on a date, and headed off towards their next class. Care of Magical Creatures, with Professor Grubbly-Plank. Also with Sirius, Theia, and Peter. In their class, Professor Grubbly-Plank had a gold unicorn foal, a silver adolescent, and a pure white adult.
"Only the girls may approach. Unicorns don't like males." Grubby-Plank said. Lily and Theia, among other girls headed up, leaving Sirius, James, Remus and Peter.
"When are you gonna start shagging again, Prongs?" Sirius asked playfully. "I'm way up on you now." James ignored his question. Sirius already knew he didn't like anybody but Lily.
"Who have you got tonight?" James groaned.
"Well, Elle offered. But tonight, I have a plan." Sirius stated. Peter looked up eagerly at this.
"Honestly, Padfoot. If you spent half as much time on your studies as you do about snogging, you'd be a star student." That was Remus, of course. Sirius paid no attention.
"Do you think I could hang out in your common room? Elle will maul me if I stay in Gryffindor tonight." Sirius chuckled.
"Yeah, sure. But leave Lily alone." James said.
"Of course! You doubt me?" Sirius said, mock wincing. James couldn't help but chuckle. For the rest of the class, the four boys watched the unicorns, and listening to the girls shriek with delight as they stroked them. Peter looked as though he seriously wished he was a unicorn right then. The day flew by quickly, with only Potions in the afternoon. Night came, and James and Sirius headed for the Head Boy and Girl dormitory.
