Her Memory – Chapter 7

Lily dragged herself down to the Great Hall the next morning. She had slept fitfully all night and it was a Tuesday. She hated Tuesdays even when she got a full night's rest. So she was a little irritable.

When she entered into the large room, she immediately sensed a pair of eyes on her. Looking around, she saw the steel gray eyes of Lucius Malfoy following her. Deciding to ignore him, Lily walked to the three boys about two-thirds down the table.

On her way, she passed Gia and Carla. She smiled at them. 'Might as well be nice since I've been blowing them off.' Lily thought.

But instead of two friendly grins back, the girls gave her suspicious looks and whispered to each other, still staring at Lily. 'That's weird.' She thought as she continued moving down the packed table.

"Morning Lils." Remus said as she sat down next to him.

"Morning." She mumbled.

Sirius and James were joking about something, Lily wasn't really paying attention.

She could still feel Lucius staring at her from across the room. And sure enough when she looked up from her plate, he was looking right at her. The way he looked, like he knew something she didn't, made her uncomfortable and it irritated the hell out of her when he shot her a smirk as James leaned over the table and kissed her on the cheek.

"James will you switch seats with me?"

"Why do you want to do that?"

Lily shrugged. "I just don't have a good view." She nodded to the Slytherin table.

The three guys looked over just in time to see Malfoy and Snape look away from obviously staring in their direction.

"Take my seat." Sirius offered, standing and walking around the table. Lily did the same and they spent the rest of breakfast laughing (and kissing). Sirius kept a close watch on the Slytherins. The Marauders would take care of them later.


Potions class was a disaster.

James, Sirius, Remus and Peter threw Filibusters' Fireworks in the potion that Malfoy and Snape had been working on. It had exploded, covering all the Slytherins and a few Gryffindors in a lumpy green liquid. Too bad for Malfoy and Snape, they probably wouldn't have gotten detention if the class had actually been making Polyjuice Potion that day.

All six of the young men got detentions that night, (it was really no doubt who had thrown the fireworks). Lily would be alone for the majority of the night, something she wasn't too happy about, but the looks on Malfoy and Snapes' faces were worth it.

After that class they had Charms, Lily's favorite class. It had taken hard work, but she managed to get back to the top of the class, only behind Sirius. Apparently he has a secret talent for Charms that no one is supposed to talk about because it isn't 'cool'. Whatever.

"Hey, Lils! Wait up!" James yelled through the hall.

Lily turned around in the hallway on her way to the charms classroom to wait for her boyfriend. Behind him were Sirius, Remus and Peter but they were walking more slowly, obviously not that much in a hurry to talk to Lily.

"What is it?" Lily asked, only a little irritated.

"What's wrong? How come you didn't wait for us in the dungeons?" He asked while lacing his hand in hers.

"I don't know. Forgot."

"Are you mad?"

"Why did you have to get detention?" Lily snapped at him. The other three were right by them now, but quickly passed when they heard her tone.

"You're mad about that? During class you thought it was hilarious." James pointed out.

"I know I laughed James. It was funny, but now I have to spend the whole night alone. Do you know how boring that is?"

James sighed and brought her closer for a hug. "Can't say I have first hand experience. Sirius can be kinda clingy."

Lily laughed into his shoulder and they didn't move from their spot by the wall, even when the bell rang, letting them know they were late.

"You know we haven't really been alone since last weekend." Lily hinted.

"Lils, that was two days ago. Not even, sense we skipped classes yesterday." James said.

"I know but it feels longer, don't you think?" She asked softly as she kissed his neck.

"Mmm, we should be in class." James mumbled, though he wished to God she wouldn't want to go.

"Charms is my best class. We can disappear for an hour." She whispered into his ear. She continued kissing and nipping at his neck, making him let out cute little groans and noises from the back of his throat.

"Follow me." James grabbed her hand and they ran off into a spare classroom one floor above the charms wing. It wasn't very nice or romantic or clean, but at the moment the two teenagers didn't care at all.

James picked up Lily and sat her on a desk, her legs spread so he could be closer. Their kissing was heating up and James' hands started to roam.

Lily could feel him getting harder as they kissed and his hand made it's way under the back of her shirt and the other one was high up on her thigh. She didn't really care, she was to caught up in just, James.

He always made her forget her problems about school, Malfoy and anything. After barely two days of 'going out' and one of them was spent sleeping, she still already knew why she had dated him before her memory was lost. He was perfect for her.

When she had started to move her hands from his back to the front of his pants, the door was busted open, surprising them and caused Lily to fall off the desk as James jumped backward.

"What the hell was that?" Lily yelled from her spot on the floor.

"I can't believe you two!" A familiar voice said from the doorway.

When Lily looked up she saw the other three Marauders crowding inside the room with stupid smiles on their faces.

"Head Boy and Girl skipping Charms so they can have a quickie in the class room," Sirius said walking over to Lily to help her up. "I have to say I'm impressed. I didn't think you had it in you."

"Shut up Sirius." James said. He was pulling his un-tucked shirt down, obviously trying to hide…something. He wasn't doing a very good job.

Sirius put on a fake sad face, "My little Jamesie is growing up. I remember just yesterday,"

"Sirius! I'm hungry! We found them, now can we go to lunch?" A hungry Peter asked. They didn't need to hear Sirius' speech about James and what an idiot he is with girls. Especially when quite a few of those stories had to do with Lily.

"Alright, fine." He said with a sigh. "Prongs, you might want to wait here a few minutes so you can, uhhh, calm down a little bit." Sirius gave him a smug smirk and threw an arm around Lily's shoulders, steering her to the door. "Don't worry, we'll take care of sugar here." He called over his shoulder.


They got through the rest of classes and all to soon dinner was over and it was time for detention. Lily said bye to them as they went to the dungeons and she went upstairs. She was planning on maybe talking to Gia and Carla. She figured she didn't exactly give them a fair chance and plus, there was absolutely nothing else to do.

Up in the 7th year girl dormitories in Gryffindor Tower, the two girls Lily was on her way to go see, Gia and Carla, were gossiping on one of the beds. They were interrupted by a knock on the door and a familiar (or unfamiliar, since they hadn't talked in weeks) poked her head in.

"Hey guys, can I come in?" She asked. She wasn't really nervous about talking to them, but she was just skeptical if staying alone would be more fun.

"Of course you can." Carla said. She jumped up from the bed to make more room for Lily. "How have you been? I feel like the three of us haven't talked in forever." She still talked in a high voice, but Lily discovered if she clenched her jaw really tight and pictured James with a hard-on, it didn't really bother her.

"It has been a long time. But I suppose that's my fault. I've always been hanging out with Sirius and Remus and James. I feel really bad about it." Lily used her fake voice and concern that she reserved for talking with these types of people. Fake people.

"Speaking of James," Gia put in. "You two seemed real close at dinner last night and at breakfast this morning. What's been going on with you two? Are you dating?" She stared at Lily intently, desperate for answers on the relationship everyone's been talking about.

"Well, yeah, we're dating." Lily admitted. It's not like it was confidential or anything. But it was kind of awkward talking about it with Gia and Carla.

"So how far have you guys gotten?" Lily realized she was probably the only one who felt awkward at the moment.

"Well, we haven't really done anything. We kissed and that's about it."

"You two disappeared all day yesterday and all you did was make out?" Lily nodded. "And I suppose you were talking about the weather when you went missing from charms today?" Lily's face was turning redder by the second. She really didn't want to be discussing this.

Gia and Carla were laughing hard at something that Lily must have missed somewhere.

"What's so funny?"

"I'm sorry Lily. It's just that, you're going out with James Potter and yet you haven't done anything. It's funny that you're still as stuck up now as before the accident."

Lily was speechless. They did not just say that? She wasn't stuck up! So she didn't feel ready to do that, it's not a fucking crime or anything.

"Anyways," Gia said after she calmed down. "Did you hear that Marsha Banks has a date with Remus Lupin this weekend?"

"I don't know what he sees in her. I mean she's not even that pretty. Probably just doing it so he can fuck her."

"Carla has a crush on Remus." Gia said to Lily when she noticed the red heads' blank look.

"I don't have a crush. I just feel that he would be happier if he dated me then stupid whores like Marsha Banks." Carla corrected her.

An hour later and Lily left the two girls, saying she needed to get back before curfew. In truth she had been watching the pink alarm clock on the night table, waiting till a believable time to leave. It had been the longest hour of her life.

For Gia and Carla, that night they discovered that the 'plan' wasn't working exactly like they wanted to.

Yes, she was dating James and didn't remember anything that happened, but the other part of the plan, their part of the plan wasn't falling into place. She was supposed to get with James, causing Gia and Carla to become close to the Marauders and when James dumped her, (which they had assured each other he would), they would comfort her and in the mean time Gia would get James and Carla, Remus. It was perfect, until Lily got back and stopped talking to them. No, the plan definitely wasn't working.


Over on the other side of the castle, in the dungeons, was the most tense and hateful detention to have ever taken place in the school.

James and Snape had been assigned to organize the entire stock of potion ingredients by size, shape, color and alphabetically. And there were a whole lot of potion ingredients.

Sirius and Malfoy had to clean all the cauldrons by hand and neatly stack them away. Sirius had at first teased James on having the suckier task, but then he learned just how annoying Malfoy really was. At least James was working with someone who didn't really talk.

"Narcissa tells me you moved out of your mother's house." The blonde said smartly to Sirius.

"None of your business, Malfoy." Sirius grumbled, focusing on the cauldron he was scrubbing.

"It's to bad you didn't get into Slytherin, Black. You would have fit in nicely."

"I didn't want to be in fucking Slytherin." He was obviously tense and holding in the urge to punch Malfoy in the mouth because he was shaking slightly and his eyes looked dangerous.

"Your brother, Regulus, he's a nice fellow. Not to fond of you, but every family has its black sheep."

Sirius threw down the cauldron that was still dirty and went to lunge at Malfoy. But he was held back by James who had run over as soon as 'brother' left Malfoy's lips.

"I swear to fucking God, Malfoy, stop talking right now or I'll let go of him and you won't be able to see, stand and eat tomorrow morning." James threatened. He pulled Sirius father away and made him face his own. "He's not worth it. Just don't listen Pads." James said quietly to Sirius who was breathing heavy and casting glances over his shoulder.

"Evans must be so proud to have a boyfriend like you Potter. Loyal and honest and, oh, wait, not honest. But I'm sure you have other good qualities too." Malfoy smirked when he saw James' face go red with anger.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"What am I talking about? I think you know. Unless you think it's okay to tell the girl who hates you that you're her boyfriend just so you can get some." James had him pinned up against the wall so fast, no one saw it coming.

Malfoy laughed and Snape went on organizing the stock, but James and now Sirius were not amused at all.

"You didn't actually expect to get away with it did you?" The waver in James' face was all he needed. He started laughing, even when he was pushed up against the wall quite hard and was very close to getting beat up by both of the Gryffindors there. Sirius wasn't as responsible as James and if his best friend got in a fight, he would be there, backing him up and throwing punches whenever needed.

"Evans is never going to talk to you again when she figures it all out. It's only a matter of time. So if I were you, I'd hurry up and fuck her before that time comes."

"Shut up about Lily." James said in a dangerous voice. He was being pushed over the edge and didn't know what would happen if he actually fell.

Before he could do anything, the sound of a door unlocking brought their attentions back to the room and the detention they were supposed to be in.

James let go of Lucius and he walked over to Snape, smirking the whole way.

Professor Willes walked into the room and told the four they could leave, even if they weren't done, it had been a good 5 hours the boys had been in there. He left and went back to his quarters, leaving them alone again.

Malfoy and Snape left, followed closely by James and Sirius. James grabbed Lucius' shoulder and spun him around so they could talk.

"Listen Malfoy, stay away from Lily. I don't want you talking to her, staring at her or even thinking about her. You got it?" James looked practically wild and he was slightly taller and more muscled then Malfoy, for a moment he was a little scared that James would hurt him, badly, if he didn't adhere to what he was saying.

"What happens if I do talk to her?" He asked smartly. He couldn't let it show that he was intimidated by a couple of muscled Gryffindors. Even though his only protection was Snape and he definitely wouldn't be much help.

James and Sirius looked at each other then back at them. "You don't want to know Malfoy. Trust me." Sirius informed them.

With that, James and Sirius turned around and walked back to Gryffindor tower intent on letting Lily know she should keep her distance from Malfoy.

A/N: I'm really sorry for not updating in like what? 3 weeks? I was on vaca, and had writer's block for this story, blah blah blah, I know, stupid excuses, but what are ya gonna do, right?

Well there it is. I don't like it much, but oh-well. Although I did have fun writing Gia and Carla's parts. They remind me of some of the conversations me and my friends have. (we call any girl who's pretty and/or has a hot boyfriend a whore. It's not personal, we do it to each other, it's just our way of letting out jealousy.)

Either next chapter or the one after I'm gonna skip ahead a little bit just because I don't want everything to happen in like 3 months (right now it's October-ish) and it would just be easier. It will probably be the update after the next one. Hope it won't be confusing or anything. Anyways,

Hope you enjoyed cause now you can review!
