Chapter 2:



Jas fidgeted slightly under the table as she watched the owls pour in. Sirius, to the right of her, jabbed her sharply in the ribs, "Will you stop it? You're practically shaking the whole table."

"I am not"

"You are too"

"I'm not"

"Are too"

Jas was interrupted by an official looking owl who dropped down beside her goblet. Nervously, she took the letter and the owl took off. She placed the letter under her plate and kept eating.

"Well? Are you going to read it or not?"

Jas looked nervously at the letter as if it were going to attack her, "I don't want to know what it says"

Lily looked at her strangely, "Can I read it then?"

Jas merely shrugged and nudged the letter toward her.

Thoroughly bewildered, Lily picked up the letter and ripped it open. She stole a glace at Jas and then turned to the letter:

To Ms. Jace Hope Foley,

We are sorry to inform you that your parents were k……Voldemor –

Lily let out a gasp as she scanned the rest of the contents and hugged Jas who had burst out crying, "It's alright Jas."

The Marauders looked nonplussed at the two girls. James frowned, "er Jas, Lily? Are you guys okay?"

Lily calmly replied, "We're fine, Remus, stop hogging all the timetables, hand them out."

"Oh, right!"

There was a loud explosion from the Slytherin table. "POTTER, THAT'S IT!" the Marauders were shaking with laughter.

Jas stared at them with disbelief, "Can you believe them?"

"What did they do?" frowned Lily

"Humph. They put a filibuster firework into Snape's goblet I guess."

Lily shook her head as she watched the juice drenched Slytherins march over to James and co.

"Take a seat class, and open to page 4 in your text books. Today we'll be transfiguring these birds into hats. Please follow the instructions in your books"

Jas raised her shoulders. With a few chosen words and a wave of a wand the bird was replaced with a hat.

Lily closed her eyes and waved her wand causing the bird to squawk loudly. She slowly opened her eyes a fraction only to see a dignified scorched bird covered in soot in front of her.

"ARGHHH! I'll never get it!"

"Yes!" floated over a voice from across the room, James was holding a hat in his hand. Lily gritted her teeth and clenched her fists

"What's the matter? Can't even transfigure a bird into a hat?" James smirked at her.

"Oh shove off. Mind your own business"

"Why should I?"

"Because- She waved her wand and James's hair turned a bright green color and rushed out of the room before he could retaliate.



"Wait up Lily!" Jas came puffing up the corridors, "Tell me again, why do you hate James so much, huh?"

Lily shrugged, "He pushed me out of the boat in First year." She stated lamely

"What? That was seven years ago!"

"So what? He's still really mean to me and remember that time in 2nd year? He embarrassed me to death!"

Jas stared at her friend and shrugged as James tripped in front of them.

Grinning, Jas said to him, "James, I always knew you were falling for Lily."

Lily looked at him exasperatedly and offered her hand to pull him up.

He looked innocently at her and took her hand and pulled her down onto the ground. Lily landed sprawled on top on James again.

"awww aren't they cute together?" Sirius asked coming up the corridor.

"Shut up Black!" Lily replied gingerly sitting up.

"I'm sorry Evans but…Will you get the hell off of me?"

Lily blinked and looked at James, "Oh sorry hun, but I think I'm very comfortable sitting here"

"Get off!"

"Touchy touchy, you pulled me down here in the first place." Lily muttered getting off.

James grinned evilly with concentration as he carefully moved Lily's braid onto his desk. Stealthily he performed a charm to stick her braid to his desk.

"Please get with your partner that I just paired you up with!"

Lily groaned and stood up to sit by James.

"JAMES HAROLD POTTER III YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!" she shriek as her braid painfully jerked her down

James shrugged and performed the counter spell

Lily narrowed her eyes as she sat down by him and rolled her eyes. Across the room Sirius was blowing her kisses.

"Boys" she sighed

Carefully aiming she pelted a wad of paper at his head.

"Hey! What was that for eh?"

"Opps sorry" she sarcastically apologized

Immediately she turned to her vase and performed the charm. She leaned back to watch James make his pitiful attempts.

By his 26th try Lily was getting really bored. She had already turned his hair gold with out him noticing. There were beetles down Sirius's shirt and he was completely drenched in water.

"Okay Potter this is how you do it" she yelled impatiently, "You need to flick your wand and swish it downwards. Not up or across, Down!"

James stared at her intensely. Lily felt uncomfortable under his gaze. She waved her hand in front of his face. "Earth to James!"

"Wha-what?"

"What were you staring at, hmmm?"

"You" he blurted out immediately blushing. Quickly he turned back to the vase and correctly charmed it.

"Finally! A little slow there"

"Whatever let's go to dinner."



"Jas come over here!"

Jas turned and saw Sirius crouching in a corner of the common room away from the chatter. She frowned as an evil grin surfaced on his face.

"What do you want?" she asked taking a step back.

"Well you see, I need your help on something"

"Spit it out"

Sirius shrugged "Okay you asked me"

"Just say it"

"Don't you think James and Lily would be a good couple?"

Jas looked uncertainly, "I guess…" she replied hesitantly.

"Well I'm going to set them up or make them fall for each other, want do you think?"

"Do what ever you want. What are you asking me for? Do you want my permission or something?"

"Actually, no, you're going to help me."

Jas grinned mischievously, "I wish I could Sirius but Lily's my best friend."

Sirius looked slightly put off.

"I'll do what I can to help you, K?"

They were interrupted by a scream.

"James Potter! Come back and but me straight!" yelled Lily as she ran passed.

It seemed like James had shrunk her. Sirius looked down at her amazed.

Lily chased James around the room throwing curses at him.

"Coloirs Azui" Lily panted waving her wand. James frowned as he saw his hair turn blue.

"Redeies!" James shouted furiously tuning Lily's innocent green eyes red.

"I'm going to get you for that Potter! Chipuskam!"

Remus roared with laughter as James sprouted a bushy tail.

Lily ducked behind the couch to avoid James's curse.

He finally gave up. Tossing his wand aside, James tackled Lily on the couch tickling her.

"Aren't they perfect for each other?
