The summer flew by amazingly fast. Before they knew it, the teens were all back on the Hogwarts express and Lily and James' relationship was better then ever.
"I can't believe it! Were 7th years!" exclaimed Sirius.
"Oh I know!" squealed Lily. "But the summer went by much too fast." She added glumly.
"I totally agree there," said James.
"But still were 7th years!" said Sirius again.
"Ok Padfoot, I think we get the point." Said Remus.
" I know but were 7th years!" he exclaimed once again. James slapped him upside the head.
"Ow! What was that for?"
"Get a grip man!" said James. Sirius started grumbling under his breath. They were soon off the train and unto the feast. As the sorting began James started whispering to Remus and Sirius.
"Ok guys on the count of three? Got it?" They all nodded their heads.
"James what are you talking about?" asked Lily interestedly.
"Oh we just thought we'd bring in the year with a bang!" said James.
"Yeah our first 7th year prank!" said Sirius. Lily, Remus, and James all groaned. Sirius was really starting to get annoying with this 7th year business.
"Ok here we go guys, 1...2...3 now!" the guys waved their wands under the table and muttered an incantation under their breaths. At first nothing happened but then all of a sudden the people over at the Slytherin table were jerked from their chairs and started to suspend upside down in the air. All at once they began to sing.
"I LOVE YOU, YOU DON'T LOVE ME. WERE ONE GREAT BIG TWISTED FAMILY!" they all bellowed at once. The whole erupted into bursts of laughter, well except the Slytherins who were still in the air. Even the teachers were laughing. Soon Dumbledore came to his senses long enough to tell whoever was doing it to put them down and gently. But he had this weird glint in his eye that gave away that he knew exactly who did the prank...
That night in the common room they were all comparing schedules.
"Man Lily! I only have 3 classes with you!"
"Yeah well then, I guess when were not in class we'll just have to spend more time with each other then" said Lily. They heard a groan coming from the direction of Sirius and Remus.
"It's not as if you don't *already* spend all your time together" said Remus
"Oh sod off Moony." James swooped down and kissed Lily, just to piss them both off.
The next day Lily was in her Transfiguration class alone. James wasn't in this class. The class heard a knock on the door.
"Come in!" called Mrs. McGonagall. A short little first year walked in looking very nervous.
"I-I h-have a delivery for L-lily E-Evans" he stuttered. That's when McGonagall noticed what the boy was carrying.
"Oh honestly! I don't have time for this! Lily is right over here." She was pointing to Lily in the first row. The boy walked over and handed her the package and got out of there as quickly as possible not wanting to piss off McGonagall. The boy had handed Lily a bouquet of red roses with a note attached. Lily blushed to herself as she read the note.
//I had a rose for every time I thought about you, I would be walking in a garden forever
Love, James\\
"Oooooh what does it say Lily?" asked Maria, a girl from Lily's dormitory.
"Um nothing, it doesn't say anything" said Lily trying to cover it up.
"Well it has to say *something*! Please, please, please let me read it!"
"No it's nothing"
"Yes! Please!" Lily reluctantly handed over the note. Maria's eyes quickly scanned over the note.
"Oh my gosh! Lily that is so sweet!" exclaimed Maria. Lily felt a blush run up her cheeks. "What's his last name?" Lily was a bit hesitant to tell, Maria was known as the school gossiper, which could mean nothing good.
"Potter" The words fell from her lips in a whispered hush, Maria's gaze on Lily instantly became stony.
"Yeah right. *You* going out with James Potter? Ha! That's a laugh."
"What that supposed to mean?" Lily was truly hurt.
"It's just that James Potter would *never* go out with someone as average as you. He only goes for good looking girls...like me!" Lily felt the tears well up in her eyes. She quickly looked away and waited impatiently for class to end. As soon as it did, she stormed form the classroom and rushed up the stairs towards the common room, tears falling freely down her face...
Meanwhile...
All the guys, Remus, Sirius, James, and Peter were sitting down for lunch.
"Hey guys, have you seen Lily lately?" asked James
"Um yeah I did," said Remus. "I saw her running up to the common room in a hurry. I bet she forgot a book or something, I tried to get her attention but I guess she didn't hear me"
"Oh...ok" said James. Suddenly James felt a cold hand on his shoulder and turned to see who it was. It was Maria, otherwise known as the school slut, whore, or gossiper.
"Hey sexy" she purred into his ear. He tried to shrug her off but she was too persistent.
"What do you what?" He said through gritted teeth.
"Well it's just that I heard some very interesting news a few minutes ago." She said.
"Oh *really*? I never would have guessed" he said sarcastically.
"Well Lily said..." This immediately grabbed his attention. "She said that you two are going out. Now this can't be true can it?" //oh my god, she's bothering me for *this*"\\
"Yeah we are," he said dully. She had a look of pure terror and astonishment on her face.
"No way! She is so boring and ugly and unimaginative and weird-" James cut her off.
"You know Maria it sounds like you're describing your self so I would shut up if I were you" Oh this got her ticked. But she had no comeback so she stormed back towards the common room. As she entered she heard muffled sobs coming from the direction of the worn in red couch in front of the fire. She approached and found a head of passionate red hear on the pillow crying.
"What are you crying for slut?" asked Maria. Lily slowly lifted her head and looked into the amber eyes of Maria with her own emerald ones. Lily did not say anything but simply headed for the dorms. But Maria wasn't finished with her yet.
"Oh no you don't whore. Come back her!" she screeched. Lily simply ignored her. Maria ran up to her, grabbed the back of her cloak and pushed her up against the nearest wall.
"How could you? I marked him as *mine* last year! You are such a slut!" she slapped her across her cheek. Lily whimpered.
"Why are you doing this?" she whispered.
"Why? WHY! Because you took *my* man!!!" She slapped her again.
"Get off of me!" Lily started to struggle and kick and try to get away. However Maria had her in a position in which Lily wasn't able to do much. Maria took her fist and punched her in the stomach...hard. So Lily started to scream.
"HELP! SOMEONE HELP ME! GET OFF OF ME NOW!!!" Lily started to cry, and then to her immense relief the portrait swung open.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING BITCH! PUT HER DOWN NOW!" bellowed an enraged James. Maria slowly let go of the red head and she slowly slid the wall. Maria started to back away in fear. James looked furious, no not furious, there's not even a word for how pissed he looked right now.
"WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU DOING!" he screamed.
"N-n-nothing J-James." she stuttered
"IT SURE AS HELL DIDNT LOOK LIKE NOTHING!"
"I-I-'m s-s-sorry James"
"Sorry? SORRY! LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO HER!" Remus and Sirius walked into the room.
"Whoa, what the hell happened here?" asked Remus.
"THIS SORRY EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN WAS BEATING UP LILY!" That was when Sirius and Remus noticed Lily laying on a crumpled heap on the floor sobbing. James slowly advanced on Maria. When they were barely a foot apart he spoke in a harsh barely audible tone.
"I swear if you EVER even look her way you will be so fucking sorry!" he walked away from her to tend to Lily, where Remus and Sirius were already comforting her.
