The Big, The Bad, and The Harmless

Once she reached the library, she wasn't prepared for the letter she found in her bag. It was in a pink envelope with her name in blue on the front. Lily opened in carefully, unaware of what was in it.

"Dear Lily,

You are the light in my heart, and the warmth in the winter. My love for you has grown over these past few days. I cannot say how much I love you, because words are not enough. Whether you know it or not, I will always be here for you.

Love You Secret Admirer"

Lily was surprised. She NEVER got any 'secret admirer' letters. She hardly ever got letters! Lily placed the letter back into her backpack. 'Probably some joke' Lily thought to herself as she pulled out her Defence Against the Dark Arts homework.

After an hour of doing homework, it was almost time for lunch, so Lily made her way down the corridor and went back to the common room. There she would be meeting up with Laura and Steph. Just as she sat on the red couch across from the fire, Laura walked in, crying, and Steph was right beside her trying to comfort her. Lily quickly go up and ran to them. Laura had her hand over her eye and was having trouble breathing from all the crying.

"Laura! What's wrong?" Lily asked. Lily tried to pull Lauras hand away from her face, but she pressed her hand harder onto her eye.

"She and Olivia got into a cat fight. Olivia suspected that Laura had taken James away from her, so she hit her with a book, and the edge hit her in the eye." Steph said, speeding it up so Lily could help calm down Laura. Lily quickly ran to her purse that still lay on the couch, and pulled out 2 calmazationizer pills for the highly emotional.

"Laura, take these NOW!" Lily said, pushing them into her mouth. With one big gulp, Laura swallowed and within a matter of seconds, Laura had calmed down, wiped her eyes and just sat there.

"Laura, can I please see your eye?" Lily asked carefully. Laura slowly removed her hand from where it was placed on her face, only to reveal a very swollen, dark eye. There were even marks from where the book hit her. Lily stood up.

"Well we might as well take her to the hospital wing, and then we can go for lunch. Steph nodded as the helped up Laura and carefully helped her out of the common room.
At the lunch table, they saw that Olivia and her group of friends, were again, talking of what went on in the Hallway just a few minutes ago. Olivia seemed to laugh about the whole incident. Lily and Steph were sitting at one end of the table, both eating salad, when the Marauders came up and sat beside them.

"How's Laura?" James asked caringly.

"she'll be fine." Lily retorted. "Why would you care anyways?"

"Well, she looked like she was hit pretty bad. Why, now I cant care about a friend of mine?" James asked

"Friend? Umm, I don't remember you being her friend? When did you two become friends?" Lily stood up so she was almost eye level with James.

"Why cant I be friends with her? Just because you don't like me doesn't mean that she doesn't?" James retorted. And with that , he got up and left to sit by himself. Lily was speechless. Normally, if James was going to walk away, his friends would come too. But this time they didn't.

"What's his problem?" Lily asked Remus. Remus shrugged and sat down beside her and grabbed a chocolate muffin. Sirius looked over towards James. You could tell that James was depressed about something. But Sirius just sat down beside Remus, to think of any ideas of how to get James happy again.

"Does anybody have any ideas of what we should do tonight?" Sirius asked everyone that he was sitting with.

"Tonight, Tonight, Were going to party tonight..." Lily was singing to herself. Sirius looked astounded.

"Lily, great idea!" Sirius said, running towards the common room. Lily looked up all confused, but then just kept on eating.
