Lily walked down the steps to the great hall refreshed and happy, with her hair done up neatly and her robes done up tidily, she got to the Gryffindor table and sat down between Michelle and her friend Alice.
"Where's Lou?" Lily asked.
"Still in bed!" Michelle said with a smile.
"Yeah, we threw water on her, charmed her so she floats up in the air and still she didn't wake up so we just left her there" Her other friend Amy said.
"You left her there floating in the air, and soaking wet, she's gonna kill you!" Lily said and laughed.
"Oh well!" Alice grinned.
"I miss you guys, I miss sharing a dorm with you, instead I'm stuck with Potter!" Lily said disgusted.
"Lily you've only been in there with him for one night, It can't be that bad." Michelle said.
"Believe me…it is!" Lily said and the girls all grinned.
"Why what happened?" Alice asked.
"Nothing!" Lily said unconvincingly.
"Yeah right, whatever, tell us what happened" Amy said and Lily soon gave in.
"He walked into the bathroom when I was about to take a shower!" Lily said putting her head down on the table.
"Why didn't you lock the door?" Alice asked.
"I lock one of them, but I didn't know where the other two lead to, so I didn't bother!" Lily said taking her head of the table and grabbed some toast.
"An where did the doors lead to?" Michelle asked.
"Um…the common room and um…Potter's room!" Lily said and the girls started laughing.
"Hey, it's not funny!" Lily shouted at her friends.
"Sorry Lils, we couldn't help it!" Michelle said and stopped laughing just as six lads came into the great hall and sat down near to the girls.
"Look there's the Marauders, Jack and Frank" Michelle said looking at the lads.
"FRANK! I'll see you later girls!" Alice said and got up to sit next to her boyfriend of two years.
"They are such a cute couple!" Lily said staring at Alice and Frank who had just kissed.
"I know, how come stuff like that doesn't happen to us!" Michelle said.
"Speak for yourself!" Amy said staring at Jack.
"Why's that Amy?" Lily said smiling.
"Nothing important" Any said quietly.
"Go on tell us," Michelle said.
"Fine but you can't tell anyone!" Amy warned.
"Would we!" Lily joked and smiled sweetly at Amy.
"Hum, well me and Jack have been going out for the past couple of weeks, he came round to my house and just asked me out" Amy said in a whisper to her friends.
"Ah! That is so cute!" Michelle said and Lily nodded.
"Are you gonna tell Lou?" Lily asked.
"Speaking of Lou look who it is!" Michelle said and the three girls looked round to find Louise glaring at them from the great hall doors and she walked towards them.
"See you later girls!" Lily said and got up to sit next to Remus.
"Alice I think you're wanted" Lily said to Alice and she looked over to the girls who were being scolded by Louise.
"You think I'm going over there, I like being alive thank you very much" Alice said and the boys and Lily laughed and Sirius dropped his timetable on the floor and had to get up to get it back, Lily noticed that he was limping.
"Sirius why are you limping?" Lily asked when he got back to sit at the table and Sirius glared at James.
"I had a little accident!" Sirius said still looking at James and Lily followed his gaze and saw that James had a little tint of bruising on the bottom of his eye.
"Did you get into a fight?" Lily asked Sirius and the four other boys laughed.
"What?" Alice asked.
"James had a little problem in the shower this morning" Remus said with a grin.
"The only problem was that Padfoot was in there before me!" James scowled.
"So that's where you went," Lily said not making eye contact with James.
"So what, I didn't want to be there when the monster of the Gryffindor girls got out of the shower."
"I wonder why I acted like a monster, maybe cause some pig-headed teenager burst in on me!" Lily said with her voice getting a little higher with every word she said.
"Hey it's not my fault you forgot to lock the door's is it?" James yelled back, now most of the students had their eyes on them, most just ignored it, as it happens all the time, but the first years were looking at the head boy and girl in dismay.
"Well how was I supposed to know that there was three doors leading to the bathroom?" Lily shouted.
"You open the doors before you go in the shower you dope!" James shouted back.
"Don't call me a dope you prat!" Lily said.
"Cow!"
"Big head!"
"Hippogriff's backside!"
"Conceited worm!"
"You… you!" James had finally run out of ideas.
"Why don't you just call her a filthy, despising, ugly Mudblood?" James heard from behind him and saw Lestrange, Snape and Bellatrix standing behind them, when Lily heard this she put her head down on the table, trying to ignore them. This didn't work for James, he couldn't let them get away with them called her that, not anymore.
"Apologise now!" James said getting up off his seat and standing in front of Lestrange.
"And what if I don't…you gonna set your boyfriend on me?" Lestrange said pointing a Sirius, who now had his arm around Lily.
"Why don't you just shut up and get lost, and if we're lucky you'll get lost and never come back!" James said and the three slytherins grinned.
"Don't worry Potter, you're not that lucky!" Snape said.
"Oh really, you think you're so big now that you've got your friends behind you don't you! You're not acting like the pathetic loser you actually are because you've got those to brainless ninnies behind you!" James said pointing at Bellatrix and Lestrange.
"POTTER WILL YOU JUST LEAVE IT, I'VE TOLD YOU BEFORE…I DON'T NEED PROTECTING!" Lily said sitting up straight, but Sirius still had his arm around her shoulder and James looked from her to the three Slytherins who were now about to cry into fits of laughter.
"You heard the mudblood Potter, just leave it," Bellatrix said and James glared at them all and then sat back down.
"They are so gonna get what's coming to them!" James whispered in Remus' ear.
"I think Lily's right Prongs, just ignore them, they keep coming back to you because they know when they say something you react and they find it funny, so Lily's right, ignore them and they'll go away." Remus said back to him and James nodded.
"I'll try" James said.
"Do better than try" Remus whispered back and James looked at Lily longingly.
"I'm never gonna get her am I, man?" James asked Remus, his voice still in a whisper.
"You may get her, one day, just stop trying to protect her and listen to what she says, I'll bet you may learn something" Remus said and went back to eating his breakfast.
James kept those few words that Remus had said in his mind,
"You may get her, one day"James kept that saying in his mind for the rest of the day.
