Californiagirl Yes, a beta is somebody who looks for mistakes, but they also help when something dosn't make sense or (in my case) warns when their characters are mary-sueish. Sorry nobody made that clearer before.

Seven Days Without You

Chapter Two: A new look?

Parish walked into the dorm's bathroom the fallowing morning, and her eyes widened. Lily sat on the sink, her eyes also wide. Parish stared at her best friend with surprise before narrowing her eyes angerily.

"Parish..." Lily's voice held back a sob, "Don't."

Parish stormed out of the bathroom,

"SIRIUS BLACK! I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!"

Parish thundered down the stairs and scanned the Commen Room. Only a few people had ventured down this early on a saturday morning. Parish hadn't been sure the Maurders (As they had been dubbed by the three girls) would even been down this early. However they were, and Parish stormed right up to them, glaring at Sirius' back.

"I have a bone to pick with you mister..." she said coldly.

Sirius grinned, taking in the shocked look of James and Remus. While couldn't personally see Parish with his back turned to her, he knew their prank must haveworked.

"What's a matter, Talbert?" He drawled, turning around, "You don't like your new hair- What the?"

Parish continued to glare, hands on her hips... where he long braid continued to sway. Sirius' grin dropped.

"You complete pratt!" Parish hit him hard in the stomach, and Sirius winced and back away. Parish hit him again on the arm, "If your going to take revenge, AT LEAST DO IT TO THE RIGHT PERSON!" Sirius fell over the back of the couch. James and Remus grabbed Parish,

"B-but... I saw him! He cut-" Parish rounded on him.

"Are you both crazy?! You didn't cut my hair! You cut Lily's!"

James' eyes grew wide and his jaw dropped. "L-l-lily's hair?" he stuttered. Remus rubbed his temples, suddenly he had a headache. Parish rolled her eyes,

"Boys..." She turned on her heel, and stormed back up the stairs. "Real smooth guys!"

The boys (and the rest of the commen room) listened as her angery stomps led down to her room and the slam of her door. James and Sirius slumped down onto the couch, both wide eyed and slack-jawed.

"B-but... Talbert?" Sirius said as the rest of the commen room went back to their own worries. James nodded, digesting his own thoughts, "Lily is going to kill me."

Remus sighed, sitting opposite of his two friends, "I knew I should have stopped you two. How in the name of Merlin's beard, Sirius, could you mistake Lily's hair for Talbert's?"

Sirius swallowed slowly, and tried to grin, "They both have thick hair?" he asked slowly. Two couch pillows came crashing down on Sirius' head.

"Padfoot!" James said, rather depressingly, "How could you do this to me?"

Both Remus' and Sirius' head shot toward their friend, confusion drapping their faces.

"Excuse me?" Sirius said, "I think Lily has a bit more reason to be angry at us."

James blushed slightly and pulled his pillow over his face. He mumbled something that sounded much like, "mumblemimble-whomp"

Remus raised his eyebrows, "Sorry?"

James pulled the pillow off his face, his glasses slightly askew.

"I want... to try to win Lily Evan's heart." he muttered. "Really win it."

Remus looked sympathic, but Sirius just started laughing. "Prongies, Why chose Lily? I mean you have all of Hogwarts and Beyond to chose from... Why Lily?"

James glared at his best friend, "Because I am stubborn, and-" His pillow came crashing down on Sirius, "And you ruined it!!"

Remus was in the middle of pulling James off Sirius when Lily came down stairs, fallowed by Parish and Marie. James jumped up right away, Sirius right after him with a charming grin. Remus sat back down. His headache had gotten worse.

Truthfuly James couldn't keep his eyes off Lily, and it took all his self-control not to drool. Lily had always worn muggle clothes durning the weekends. It was never anything revealing or scanky. Lily just didn't dress like that. Like today, she wore a simple white blouse and open vest with a pair of muggle jeans... if it was all so simple, then why did she look so good? Maybe it was her hair... the once long wavey locks were now near her shoulders and completely straight. Maire obviously had done something to it while Parish was yelling at them, becuase there was no way Sirius did that. She looked so radiant, so perfect, so untouchable-

"James Potter?!" Lily's angry call broke the spell, "Have you even been listening!?"

James mentally kicked hiself. She had been talking? Had she blamed him? The thought made his sqirm inwardly. No! He was going to win her heart! He was going to prove to her he was more thant just a player, he was-

"James!"

"Sorry, Liles." James grinned charmingly, "You just look so pretty, I can't fo-"

"Don't be smart, James." Lily said coldly, "You and your sick pranks have gone to far this time."

James opened his mouth to argue, to blame it on Sirius, to do anything. But Lily turned and left James standing in the middle of the Commen Room floor, one again dejected.

Sirius touched James' shoulder, an unspoken apology between the two of them, and Remus' nodded from the couch.

"You'll show her, mate." Sirius said.

Peter came bounded down the stairs, after having slept through the entire epsiode.

"So..." he asked cheerfuly, "What I'd miss?"

II.

James was misrable all through breackfast, because at breakfast things only got worse.

James noticed Lily sat as far away from him as possible, though with the morning crowd, it wasn't that far. He could still see her face, and how she blushed when-ever somebody complemented her new hair style.

Suddenly his gaze was cut off by long dark hair, and a pair of shocking blue eyes, beautiful lips... in his lap!

"Hello James..." the voice was a musical murmur, she kissed James softly, "Missed you." She grinned and left.

Even after she was long gone, James continued to stare blankly ahead at Sirius' grinning face.

"Well well..." Sirius bit into his waffle, "What was that all about? She came up and gave you what? A twenty second lap dance?"

James was less that amused, he turned to Remus, who looked very annoyed. "Who was she?"

Remus sighed, "Andrea Mortner... I believe you dated her for about six days last year... then Sirius dated her for seven." Sirius stuck his tounge out at James. "Ha ha! Beat you!"

James suddenly looked to Lily. She looked at him with those big green eyes, and gently shook her head.

'There goes another black spot on my record.' James thought, as Lily left the Great Hall as quickly as possible. Marie lingered a moment, her eyes locked with James' for a second. Her eyes were nothing like Lily's beautiful orbs, yet Marie's held compassion, and understanding. James suddenly felt a pang of guilt for using her to get back at Lily last year. Marie's eyes turned to Remus and she held his gaze a little longer.

Suddenly she smiled, and with Parish in tow, left the Great Hall after Lily. Before James could think any more on the subject, Remus put his napkin on his plate with an annoucment,

"Let's go outside..." he said with a warm grin. James nodded, agreeing that the morning hours could be used resting by the lake side. Both boys got up to Sirius' refusal.

"But I'm still eating!"

III.

"But I was still eating!" Parish complained as Marie dragged her up to Lily. Lily gave a small smile as her two friend drew in along side her. Like herself, Parish wore muggle clothes, but Marie, being the daughter of a well-polished, rich pure blood family, wore one of her less expensive robes.

"You eat too much." Marie commented rolling her eyes. Lily gave a small grin, as Marie handed her a book. "Thought you might need this. Down time?"

Lily nodded, and Marie gave a smile, "Tree's open. We'll see you at lunch."

Lily nodded once more. Maire always knew when she needed time to be alone. Another one of her gifts of being able to read people's emotions.

"Don't let him get to you." Marie said as she dragged Parish away to the library. Lily nodded once more, and made her way to the tree. She slid down the trunk and opened the book. She pulled her sweater-jacket around herself tighter, and began to read.

"Hey Lily?"

Lily froze, suddenly the November wind seemed twice as cold.

"Lily?"

Not now!

"Go away James." she said coldly. Suddenly James knelt in front of her. His hand pulled down the book..

"No Lily... We need to talk."

Chapter two! Like it? Leave me some reveiws please...?
