As Lily had entered the Potions room, almost everyone went silent, and whispers were being hissed in others ears.
Lily frowned once more, and looked down at herself. Nothing was wrong with her appearance today. But naturally, Emma and her "cronies" had told a deal of people - And of course, another natural thing to do was to exaggerate. Lily sighed and looked up, wondering what they told everyone else.
Unfortunately, all the seats were taken up, except for one: Right next to Sirius Black.
'Oh how my life ends.' Lily thought as she nervously set her things quite far from Sirius's belongings.
As him being the more boisterous, mischievous, and intimidating out of the four, he just couldn't resist saying something to Lily.
He sneered at her as he said, "I know you're a Gryffindor and all, but, couldn't you just keep your mouth shut as you cursed at that Emma Cornwell?"
"Cursed? I cursed at her?"
"Well, you're slow. You can't even remember the stream of curses just cascading down you mouth affecting poor Emma, now can you?"
"'Stream of curses just cascading down your mouth,' Wow. I'm impressed. Did you make that yourself, or did you read it out of a book?" Lily shot back as she could make out a faint blush passing Sirius's cheek, only to be gone as soon as it got there.
"Or have you been with Severus Snape lately?" Lily suddenly remembered Emma saying something about her loving Severus. "You were insulting almost everyone. Even my boys and me. 'Bony little one that Lupin is,' you were saying. Only Snape can say things like that to us. But you - you - You little soft meek Evans, I mean, who knew you kept all that rage under your skin? And how dare you say I was fit to be a Black, with my black heart, and hellish ways? My parents probably would be proud if I was like that."
Lily opened her mouth to speak, but just looked over at Emma instead. Emma was - she was - smiling, yet in a very unpleasant way.
Lily narrowed her eyes at her. Anyone could see the hate that filled her eyes.
Professor Tiloperin rapped on his desk to get the classes attention.
"Now today we will be making a Calming Potion."

Lily stormed up to her dormitory as she came back from the kitchens. She just could not bear dining with everyone in the Great Hall! She had been getting hateful looks from other people. And when she passed by Snape in the hallways, well, he was - he was - he was blushing!
As she felt her hand on the cold doorknob leading into her dorm, she remembered whom she was sharing it with. She felt as though she needed a little talk with her dorm "friends", as dozens of hexes filled her thoughts. Oh. Vengeance was hers. (A/N: I know, clichéness! But usually it is "Vengeance is mine.")
When she quietly entered her dorm she saw Emma, Victoria, Alice, and Isabel all sitting on the floor gossiping. She could hear bits and pieces of what they were saying. "Oh yeah! That Lily Evans is sooooo thick!"
Lily narrowed her eyes; she coughed, "Hem hem."
They all looked over at her.
"Oh hi Lily! We were just, like, talking about you!" Alice said in a sickening sweet voice.
"Oh really? Like, I was sooooo like thinking about you guys too!" Lily replied in the same voice.
"And what do you want anyways, Evans? You are taking up our lovely air replacing it with your dirty one." Emma said, scanning Lily with disgust.
"Do have a problem or something? Like mood-changes? Yesterday when we were talking, and I said you guys wanted me to be vain like you guys, I didn't mean you were absolutely obsessed with yourselves. I was meaning to say that *I* didn't want to be like you all." Lily replied.
"Oohhhh. We like understand that Lily! Not!" Isabel said to Lily.
"You know what? I take back what I said for that, "I didn't mean you were obsessed with yourselves." I do mean it now. Fools, all of you." Lily said as she stalked off to common room.

'I have got to get that book!' Lily thought nervously as she sat on a sofa nearby. 'Or. Or maybe I can live with this torment for just 3 more weeks. Then summer break will come and I will have plenty of time to devise a - a plan.' She grinned at herself. She mumbled to herself, "Charms for the Concealed. I have to get that book! It's driving me mad. I need it." She gave a mad sort of giggle. "I need it. Now. Or, later."
Lily was mumbling to herself because she had been getting more attention than she had ever gotten before at Hogwarts, and it was a little too much, so she just started mumbling to make herself feel better.
But unfortunately for her, Sirius Black was behind her, listening to her mad mumbles and giggles.
"Have you gone mad?" He inquired, actually concerned. He really thought she had gone mad!
"Huh? Of course n-" Lily said and then thought about this and immediately understood Sirius really thought she was mad. She grinned to herself. 'Oh would this be fun.' she thought.
"I've gooonnneee maddd. Ohhh yyyeeesss IIII''vvveee." She slurred it out; it was distinguishing between a singsong voice to her normal voice. She grinned and giggled again at Sirius.
Sirius just looked at her wide-eyed. He had never seen a real crazy person before. "I've got to take you that new nurse, Madam Pompey, was it?"
"Maaddaammm Poommpffreeyy." Lily truly was enjoying watching Sirius panic.
"Y - Yes, that's it Lily. Come with me now." He sort of backed away as she got up.
"Oh you dolt. I'm not mad, I'm just mad." Lily said, returning to her normal state as she sighed. She would never have dreamed of what she had just done ever. But since everyone already was giving her oh so much attention, why not risk something even more stupid?
"U - Uhm right. We have to take you to her, Lily!" Sirius said, somewhat confused.
"You prick! I'm not a madman - Er, or, woman. I was just doing that to see you panic. Too bad I couldn't have videotaped that. 'Oh Lily, you're mad! Let's go to Madam Pompey! Yay! Oh, let's skip over some daisies while we're at it!'" She saw Sirius back away a little more at that daisy remark.
"Fool! I'm just overwhelmed with today. So that's why I have gotten over the edge. I mean. Oh never mind. I'm leaving. Good-day to you too, daisy boy." Lily said as she stormed outside of the Gryffindor common room.

A/N: Soooo. did you like it? *cowers as tomatoes come flying at her with shouts of boos* Okay, okay, I got a bit excited with that "mad-man" part. Yeah. And sorry if this chapter was a bit. weird. Like the last. Anyways, I can't believe I made Sirius so mean in the first part! Okay, I can believe. And I can fly to the sky like an eagle - in the sky. o_O Yeah. The person who writes this story is, herself, mad. (mad as in crazy, o' course)
