Chap 9:
Lily turned her back to find Audrey and Jessica with raised eyebrows.
"What?" She asked them. They didn't answer back.
"Alright then. Jessica did you take ruins this year?" Lily asked.
"Yup, according to my timetable I have it first." Jessica answered brightly.
Lily grabbed her muffin and took a big bite out of it. Then, grabbed her goblet of milk and drank it whole. She put on a pain expression then hit her chest with her fist. Jessica and Audrey watched with amusement. Then Lily let out a thunderous belch which made the whole room eerie with silence. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Then she let out three more, each getting louder with ease. Once Lily was done she looked around , shrugged and went back to her muffin. The whole Great Hall burst with laughter. Lily smiled at her two friends, Audrey winked back at her and laughed out loud.
Lily ,Jessica , and Audrey walked down the corridor then separated Lily and Jessica down the left hall while Audrey turned to the right hall.
"Ancient ruins is going to be such a drag this year." Lily moaned.
"I actually can't wait for it. I personally love ancient ruins, it is so interesting." Jessica said as they walked up a few steps of stairs.
"Don't give me that rubbish. You know as well as I do that the only reason you like ancient ruins ,is because you fancy Mr.Gripmed.
Jessica blushed a deep shade of pink.
"I-I do not. I have no idea where you got that notion, absolutely preposterous." Jessica muttered.
Lily decided not to push it. Plus, they finally got to class. The two friends walked over to the chalk board where a seating chat was hung. Mr.Gripmed was a very organized man, but wasn't evil since he always assigned you to sit by your friend or friends.
Lily looked at the seating chart and as expected Lily was assigned to sit by Jessica. The downside was that she was sitting right in front of James. Okay so maybe he was evil, or just smart. ; )
"Doog ginrom ssalc! " Mr. Gripmed said to his class cheerfully. His only response was a bunch of groans and moans. "Lets try that again. Doog ginrom ssalc."
"Doog gninrom Mr.Gripmed." The class replied automatically.
"Much better. Well today we will be discussing the importance of N.E.W.T.'s."
Lily let out a loud groan.
"Is there a problem Ms. Evans?" Mr.Gripmed asked.
Lily closed her eyes and took a deep breath . "No, not at all." Lily replied in a bored tone.
Mr.Gripmed returned to his speech.
"Lily sighed. James leaned over a bit and whispered at Lily's direction.
"That was quite a show you put on during breakfast. So ladylike in fact."
Lily snorted as softly as she could. 'who cares about being ladylike anyways?' Lily thought. Still looking at Mr.Gripmed she answered.
"Yea, well at least it didn't come from downstairs." Lily replied sarcastically.
"That's vile" James said in a disgusted voice.
"No its natural, if you don't pass gas then you could die. You surely don't want me to die do you?" Lily asked still looking at the professor.
"I wouldn't wish death on anyone even if they ever annoying slobs." James retorted.
"Funny, if I'm so annoying then why is it that you keep pestering me?" Lily asked. This time she knew she won.
James didn't reply , this gave Lily a feeling of triumph.

The rest of the day went to same for Lily with the exception of James. Her didn't talk to her for the rest of the day. But that didn't bother her since she was still fuming about what he and his friends did in the morning.
"This day was so boring. Its like we are in the 5th year all over again." Audrey said as she took a bite out of her potato.
"It was alright." Jessica said.
Audrey rolled her eyes. "Only because you saw Ewan ."
Jessica looked down at her food.
"Whose Ewan?" Lily asked confused.
"Yea whose Ewan?" Sirius asked, taking a seat next to Audrey.
No one said anything for a long time, they just glared at Sirius. Sirius who was clueless as to what they were glaring at kept a cheeky smile.
"Whose Ewan?" He asked again.
"Yea well I'm done. See you later Lily, Audrey." Jessica said as she got up from her seat.
"Whose Ewan?" Sirius asked again.
"Yea, I'm done too. Good night Audrey." Lily said as she too left the Great hall.
"Whose Ewan?" Sirius asked Audrey. Audrey shrugged and returned to her baked potato.
Sirius sighed and got up and started walking away. Then he felt something wet hit the back of his head. He raised his hand and wiped off his head. He brought it to his nose and smelled it.
"Sour cream?" Sirius muttered. He turned around and looked at Audrey. She waved at him with a cheeky smile and licked a bit of sour cream off her finger.

Lily walked into her common room to find James doing homework. Remembering what happened earlier in the morning she scowled. She quietly walked into the library to picked out some random book, and returned to the common room. After reading a few pages not to mention the tense silence Lily decided to speak up.
"That was really rude what you did this morning. Not to mention uncalled for." Lily said in an annoyed voice.
James said nothing. He just kept writing, Lily went on.
"I nor my friends got an apology from you. Do you normally do that kind of thing? Cause if you do then--
"Oh do shut up! I'm trying to finish this letter." James snapped.
"Oh and I thought you were doing homework" Lily scoffed. "How productive."
James sighed and went back to his letter. Lily rolled her eyes and summoned her charms book and homework. James looked up with an annoyed expression.
"Must you do charm work here? Its too noisy. I need to concentrate." James complained.
Lily sighed mocking James from before.
000
It was 10:00 and Lily finished her charms, herbology, and potions homework. She was currently working on her DADA worksheet. While James was still writing his essay-like letter. Lily who usually went to sleep at 8:30 was very drowsy and her eyelids felt like they had 100 pound weights on them. Lily simply couldn't concentrate plus DADA isn't her best subject even though she always managed to get a decent grade.
Then out of no where James started to sing. It wasn't scratchy or croaky, it was perfectly in tune. Lily smiled against her own will. Image seeing tough guy, Mr.Popular , James Potter singing. She recognized that song. It sent chills down her spine. It was the song that her Nana would always sing to her.
'But how could Potter possibly know it?' Lily asked herself. Lily sighed he was nearing her favorite part. She quietly joined in she couldn't help herself.
If your heartaches seem to hang around too long
And your blues keep getting bluer with each song
Remember sunshine can be found behind the cloudy skies
So let your hair down and go on and cry
[If you want to see whole song look at bottom of the page]
James looked up, they caught eyes for a second but Lily quickly looked down blushing but still singing. Lily abruptly stopped.
'What the fuck? I never blush when singing. Note to self if ever blush over James or anything must be cursed.' Lily thought
She stopped singing but James didn't . Lily changed from sitting position to one where she was laying down. She tried to read the words in front of her but she was so tired and James singing wasn't helping either. His voice was too soothing and relaxing.
'Maybe I'll just rest my eyes for a bit.' Lily thought.
Wrong thing to do since she was soon dead to the world.

Lily woke up in the middle of the night shivering. And still in the common room. (ha, you probably thought James would be a sweetheart and take Lily to her room right? Well this is not that kind of story hon.) And to top it all off she had a kink in her neck. She looked around to find that James was also in the common room sound asleep with his pen and paper. The only difference was that he had a thick blanket, and a comfy pillow looking all warm and toasty.
'Oh No. He did not just go there.' Lily thought
'What an inconsiderate prat. Didn't even have the decency to bring me a blanket or wake me up. Well I'll show him." Lily muttered to herself. (No she is not crazy!)
Lily marched over to him and yanked off his blanket. Then went back to her room.
"See how you like being in the cold!" Lily mumbled before she shut her door.

Good morning class.
Cry
Johnnie Ray
[Written by Churchill Kohlman]
If your sweetheart sends a letter of goodbye
It's no secret you'll feel better if you cry
When waking from a bad dream
Don't you sometimes think it's real
But it's only false emotions that you feel
If your heartaches seem to hang around too long
And your blues keep getting bluer with each song
Remember sunshine can be found behind the cloudy skies
So let your hair down and go on and cry
If your heartaches seem to hang around too long
And your blues keep getting bluer with each song
Well now, remember sunshine can be found
Behind a cloudy sky
So let your hair down and go right on and cry
