Returning from the library to the common room, she dashed up the stairs into her dorm room. Sticking her prefect badge on robes, she took a quick bath then headed back down and into her assigned corridor. Suddenly, a hand touched her shoulder and she whirled around to see Sirius with Emma just behind.
"We're going to be over there," he muttered, pointing to the empty classroom.
"Alright, but no later than ten," she muttered, looking up at the clock on the wall that read eight o'clock.
"K," said Sirius, pulling Emma by the hand into the deserted classroom. The things she did for friends. Sighing, she walked up the hall looking around for her usual troublemakers.
To her "enjoyment", which is a sarcastic form of saying to her displeasure, Lily caught two first year Slytherins decorating Professor McGonagol's room with toilet paper. Some second year Hufflepuffs unleashing horn crabs in owlery, and some fifth year Ravenclaws trying to sneak out into the lawns for night strolls. Funny all the people she could catch just walking around the castle. Back to the corridor in which she began, she checked in to see Sirius kissing Emma, making her want to puke. She was happy for her friend, but the scene disgusted her. After seeing that they had at least a half-hour left, Lily walked down to the trophy room to see if anyone was hiding in there.
Upon walking in the room though, her eyes befell on…..no, it couldn't be………Peter? Peter looked over and gasped at the sight of Lily.
"You know I'm going to have to report you," said Lily, frowning at him. "What are you doing in here though?"
"I'm-I mean-I was just-oh, never mind," he said, looking down at the floor.
Twisting her red hair, Lily hesitated, trying to find some way of getting him out of trouble. No such luck. So, she lead the shuddering boy to Professor McGonagol's office, then set off to tell Sirius and Emma their time was up. However, someone else was standing at the door. It was Professor Harold, their Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, and by the looks of it he had seen the two lovebirds. Yet, Lily wanted to make sure he knew first.
"Hi Professor," said Lily, trying to start a conversation.
"Hello Ms. Evans," he replied in a dull tone.
"What brings you down here?" she asked.
"I got a tip someone was down here, but I'm guessing they just saw you and assumed it was a student out of bed," he said in the same dull voice, twisting his that were inside his green robes.
"Well, nobody's here Professor Harold," she said loudly so that Sirius and Emma could hear. "Just me. Say," she said, her voice now back to the normal volume, " what was that over their, coming from that classroom?"
Professor Harold looked at her suspiciously, then went over to check. The diversion worked and Sirius and Emma crept out, thanking Lily as they went. When the coast was clear, Lily went over to see if there really was anything, and wasn't surprised to find nothing.
"So nothing? My duty is over. Best be off to my common room, bye!" And she left before he could reply. However, she was stopped and pulled into a room by none other than Andrew.
"I can't stop thinking about you," he said, then kissed her again.
"I don't care!" She yelled, pulling away and racing back to the Gryffindor common room, giving the Fat Lady the password, then going into her dorm , changing and pulling the curtains around the bed, hoping sleep would end this dreadful day.

James woke up to the sun rising on the crisp fall morning. A chill filled the Hospital Wing as he changed into his clothes. Ruffling his hair, he grabbed his bag and exited the room. Walking casually, he entered the Great Hall and Sirius and Remus came running over to him, both beaming to see him back. Peter, on the other hand, was still down cast from last night's situation.
"So, did you ask her?" James asked Sirius as he sat down.
"Yep."
"Great," he said, buttering his toast. "What's wrong with you?" He asked Peter, know noticing his friend.
"Nothing, I just got in trouble last night," said Peter as Remus patted his friend on the shoulder.
"With out us?!?!" hollered James and Sirius in disbelief.
"Hi James," said a calm voice from behind him, from the next table over which was Ravenclaw. It was Kayla Grey, who was in love with James, though James didn't know. "Glad to see you're better…"
"Yeah, I am," he answered, turning around. "Thanks."
"Your welcome," she said, turning back to her food.
James turned back around as well and started to eat his toast, his friends starring at him.
"What? You want some toast?" he asked puzzled.
"No," said Remus, and they ate in silence the rest of the meal. On their way to Herbology, James started to recall the events that happened, wanting to make sure they were fresh in his memory for Dumbledore.
"James, Herbology is this way," said Sirius snapping him back into reality.
"Oh, right," said James, catching up with his friends.
That day they worked with mandrakes, which was pretty boring, and with a plant called devil snare. It wasn't like they hadn't heard of it, in first year noted Remus, however this would be their first time working with the plant. It had grabbed a hold of his wrist as he looked over at Lily talking to Emma about something. When he noticed it tugging, he muttered, "Lumos!", pointing his wand at it. Once it let go, James glanced over at his friends to see how they were doing.
Remus was already looking around for unusual markings. Yet Sirius seemed to be thinking about something, which was quite unusual for him. This amused James and he was about to tell Remus that if he was looking for something unusual, look over at Sirius when someone tugged on his shoulder. It was Peter.
"What happened the other night anyway? You can tell me, I'm your friend," said Peter looking up at James, who was a bit taller than him.
"Nothing for you to worry about, ok?" he said, looking over his plant again.
"Alright," said Peter, looking back at his own.
