James walked into the Great Hall for breakfast when he spotted Lily eating by herself at the Gryffindor table and poring over her transfiguration textbook. He slid into the seat next to her and helped himself to some toast.
"Good Morning, Lily," he said with a genuine smile.
"Wow, you actually know my name!" She said sarcastically, "What a shocker!"
"A simple 'good morning, James' would have been just fine," said James. Lily rolled her eyes.
"Hey, I was only trying to be polite!" Said James defensively, "How do you find fault in an innocent 'good morning'?"
Scowling, Lily got up from her seat and grapped her bookbag, sliding it on to her shoulder with such force that she nearly hit a Hufflepuff first year standing behind her. "Innocent, James?" She retorted, "You wouldn't know innocent if it hit you over the head with a solid gold cauldron! You always have something up your sleeve and I'm sure this is no different!" With that, Lily stormed out of the Great Hall, fuming.
"Such a drama queen, that Lily Evans" said a voice behind James. He turned around a spotted his partner in crime, Sirius Black.
"What'd you do this time, Prongs? Turn Old Snivelly upside down again?"
"I just said 'good morning' to her!"Exclaimed a dumbfounded James, "she just blew up at me about not being innocent or something! What is with her? Is it that time of the month or something?"
Sirius chuckled. "Well, the last person you said 'good morning' to was Filch, and that was the time you kidnapped Mrs. Norris. She may have a point." James laughed in spite of himself.
Well, Prongs," Sirius continued, "She must be really something to you, 'cause I think she's more trouble than she's worth."
"She's really something, Padfoot. She really is."
