Morning came too soon for Lily. She got up and stretched, looking around. Never before at Hogwarts had she ever
had her own bedroom. Even though she knew that James was just next door, she still loved the fact that she had
her own room and was Head Girl. And that she had her own bathroom. For years she had been sharing with several
girls in the morning or the night and they weren't the nicest of people. Of course, no one was ever nice when
they wanted to use the bathroom.
She got out of bed and put on her school robes and looked at herself in the mirror. She cocked her head and pondered her appearance. Finally she shrugged and turned towards her door. Her eyes widened in shock. James was standing right there, watching her.
"HOW DID YOU UNDO THE LOCKING CHARM?!" She screamed at the top of her lungs, causing James to jump back.
"I heard the spell you used." He answered meekly.
"How long have you been there?" James shrugged.
"I didn't see you dress if that is what you are asking. Do you look at yourself like that every morning?"
Lily pushed past him and ran down through their common room and out the front door, hoping that she could find Alice today.
Alice and Frank had gone down to the Great Hall early to talk about things. Or rather, the biggest thing of all that they were planning on happening after graduation. Their wedding. Sure, they had been engaged since they were in fourth year but their wedding wouldn't be until August of next year. But it didn't matter. They had been acting as if they were married for years anyway.
Lily stormed into the Great Hall and sighed in relief when she saw Alice's face. Alice waved, causing Frank to turn and look.
He smiled and waved along with her.
Lily slammed herself into the seat next to Frank. She put her head into her hands and moaned.
"James Potter managed to get through my locking door charm. He was watching me this morning. But he claims he didn't see me get dressed. But I know that is pure bull because why else would he unlock my damn door?" Lily said in a rush. She could hear Alice gasp.
"He did what?!" Frank exclaimed, his anger evident in his voice.
FLASH BACK
They had met for the first time on the train. Alice and Frank sat together, holding hands. Lily who had been deemed as the worthless little mudblood had finally found refuge with the two of them.
"Don't worry we will be your friends." Alice had said softly, placing a hand upon the girl's slender shoulder.
"And as the guy here I will always protect you and be your friend. No one will mess with you."
END FLASH BACK
"He, he unlocked my door. What am I going to do? I have to be in that dorm for the entire year. I can't give it to anyone to use so that way the professors can find us." Lily complained. She looked up and smiled as Alice handed her a blueberry muffin.
"Here, this will help you feel better." Lily smiled gratefully and took it, taking a big bite.
"Thanks Alice." She said after she had swallowed.
"That may make her feel better, Alice but what James did was wrong. Where is he? I'm gonna kick his ass." Frank asked, looking around the Great Hall to see if he was there yet.
"If you kick his butt you are going to get in a lot of trouble, Frank. Leave it up to Sirius. He is the only one that can beat up James and get away with it." Alice suggested, placing a hand upon his arm to bring him back down into his seat.
As if on cue, Sirius came strutting through the Great Hall smiling at all the girls on his way in. He walked over to the spot next to Alice and smiled.
"Good morning barn yard! How are we on this bright and sunny morning?" He asked as he grabbed a piece of toast.
"James unlocked Lily's door while she was getting ready." Frank said instantly. Sirius' eyes widened.
"WHAT?!" He yelled, spraying toast everywhere.
"Say it don't spray it, Siriusly seriously!" Alice teased gently.
"I'm gonna kick his ass!" Sirius yelled, ignoring Alice's teasing. James walked through the Great Hall doors, his head down.
He walked over to the Gryffindor table and sat down next to Lily without thinking.
"I know what you did this morning, you stinkin' pervert! It is Lily for God's sake!" Sirius said, throwing an apple at James'
head to get his attention. He looked up and saw four angry people glaring at him.
"Wait! Let me explain! I thought there was something wrong because of the time. I heard no noises of her getting ready. I was only worried for her safety!" James exclaimed, his hands out in front of him.
"If the damn door is locked then keep it locked you ass hole." Lily said. She got up and huffed out. Alice and Frank followed, leaving Sirius and James at the table alone.
She got out of bed and put on her school robes and looked at herself in the mirror. She cocked her head and pondered her appearance. Finally she shrugged and turned towards her door. Her eyes widened in shock. James was standing right there, watching her.
