Disclaimer: Cows are angry man eating carnivores and I…own nothing. Get over it.
Lily woke up bright and early ready for a day of classes and work. Anything that would take her mind off of James and all his stupidity. All he ever does is try and show off for me and all the other girls. He thinks that he is so hot, but he's not. I think that Remus, or Sirius, would be the best of them all. Lily smiled at the thought of Remus.
Lily took a shower and headed down to the Great Hall for breakfast. Flipping her hair as she walked past James so she wouldn't have to look at him. She then sat down with her back towards James and snatched up her schedule. Instantly she groaned in protest. "Will you look at this!?" Her friend glanced over her shoulder. "Almost all my classes are with the Gryffindors. That means that I have to spend more time with Potter." Lily shoved her schedule in her bag and stormed out of the Hall without eating.
James took a very different look at the matter.
"Look at this mate!" Sirius looked over his shoulder. "All these classes with Evans. Can life be any better?" Sirius rolled his eyes at his friend.
"Yeah. It could be. We could not have class with her, and you wouldn't be drooling and not taking notes. I don't want to hear the fighting between you and Moony all year long about his notes." James ruffled his hair and Smirked at Sirius.
"I won't be drooling over Evans Padfoot. You'll see. I'll take all my own notes, unless of course I just don't feel like it." Here Sirius turned back to his food and left James to talk to himself.
YES!! How many classes can you put us in with her?? I didn't think you could be in classes with that many of the same house…I thought it was supposed to be more even. Hum…all well. "Hey Moony get your head out of your book and let's get to class!" Sirius nudged Remus in the arm and got up quickly followed by James, Lupin, and Peter.
On the way to class they ran into none other then Severus Snape.
"Hello Snivellus. Having a good year so far?" James asked and the rest of them snickered.
"Not like I will be telling you Potter." Snape spat coldly. James clutched at his heart and made a fake hurt face.
"Oh. That really hurt me Snivellus. I think you need to be trained in the arts of kindness." James quickly took out his wand and muttered a hex. Soon Snape was hanging upside down from the clutches of a Suit of armor, being bounced up and down head hitting the floor with every downward motion. The Marauders laughed hysterically, clutching on to one another for support.
When James saw teachers coming because of all the loud noises he said the counter curse and sauntered off laughing at Snape.
Once in class, and everyone was seated, Professor Flitwick appeared standing on a large stack of books. Many of the students smiled at their professor for being so small, but he was the best at charms.
As Flitwick droned on about a charm to make things expand or shrink James drifted off. Staring at Lily across the room. He admired the way she diligently took notes and remembered what he had said to Sirius about taking all the proper notes and began to write on his paper.
Sirius glanced over at James from his own paper and tried not to laugh. He hadn't written a thing yet on his paper and was staring across the room at Evans. Sirius shook his head and went back to taking his own notes, trying to ignore the feeling of being hurt and jealous.
"Alright class, everyone got their pins?" When the class nodded Flitwick went on. "Now remember to say your words very carefully. Make it expand and then shrink it back down to normal size." When everyone nodded once more the whole class set to the task of trying to get their pins to grow. James, being James, thought he could do it no problem and said so loud enough that Lily heard him and looked up and smirk plastered on her face, waiting for him to screw it up.
Lily nearly dies laughing when James pronounced it wrong and ended up making it smaller instead, having to try to find it again searching frantically over the desk and getting it lodged in his finger. Lily and her friends were leaning against each other they were laughing so hard.
When Lily regained her breath she took up her wand and muttered the charm and instantly her pin grew to three times its size. "Look here class! Miss Evans has done it! Congratulations Miss Evans!" Lily threw a smirk at James, and then shrank it back to normal size once everyone had gone back to growing and shrinking their pins.
"Well I think that Evans has her head shoved in her books more the even you Moony! I didn't know it was possible to be more absorbed in your books then you." Remus rolled his eyes and everyone around them laughed. Class was over and they were all headed out, Lily right behind the group that was James and everyone else. "I think she was just trying to show off. I mean why else would she do it so perfect after just laughing right??" Everyone snickered at that. Even Remus, but for different reasons.
Lily was hurt. How could he say such things? "I think she fancies me but is to afraid to tell me to my face so she feels she has to show off. And she says I do it! Ha!" James ran a hand through her hair as more people laughed. Lily felt her eyes water up. She was mad and hurt because Remus was laughing to. And she thought that he was better then that.
"Lily pushed through the crowed and let out a choked little cry before completely out of ear shot of James and the rest. Sirius, Remus, and James all frowned in worry.
"Smooth Potter!" Someone from the group shouted.
"Go stuff it!" James shouted back and stormed off to find Evans leaving his friends and the group behind. He hadn't meant to hurt her. He just didn't want to be shown up. That was all. No harm once he told her about it. She would understand.
Right?
