Sorry for taking so long for this update. I was on holidays. Enjoy.

'Get up you fat lazy girl!'

Jamie was jumping up and down on Lily's bed. Lily turned over trying to ignore her.

'5 more minutes. Just another 5' came her muffled voice.

'Oh No Lily Evans. You have used that before.'

Lily sighed and propped herself up. 'What do you mean? I'm not that fat am I?'

'Not really.'

'What do you mean not really?'

'I'm just joking. I'm in the shower.' Said Jamie as she headed to the bathroom.

Lily took this chance to collapse back down into her pillows. Ellie walked over to where Lily was.

'Lily you are going to be late. It is 7:30.'

Lily sat bolt upright. '7:30? Breakfast is almost over.'

Lily got up and sprinted into the bathroom. She was quickly showered and dressed. She exited the bathroom to find Jamie and Ellie sitting on her bed.

'Ready?' she asked.

They both nodded and turned to head out the door, lily trying in vain to tame her current messy excuse for hair.

They walked into the great hall to find everyone eating breakfast. The only spare seats at Gryfindor table were across from the marauders. 'Crap.' Lily whispered under her breath.

They took those seats and started pulling food onto their plates. James looked up at Lily.

Her hair had been pulled into a messy bun and she looked tired. She's pretty. He thought but a bit stuck up. James and Lily had never really been friends. They were complete opposites. Sure, James had always wanted to go out with her but she had been very blunt about her desire to hurt him if they even tried. Now he asked her out just to bug her.

Sirius' voice woke him from his musings. 'Jamie. How is the sweetness of my life this fine morning?' Jamie looked up to the enchanted ceiling. It was raining heavily.

She raised her eyebrows. 'Sirius, my mood is reflected by the distant tones of rain pounding the great lake.'

He smiled. 'Ah the poetry of the soul!'

Jamie just looked at him. Random. She thought.

Ellie and Remus were deep in conversation.

Lily was playing with her food and thinking.

'What's up Evans?'

She looked up in surprise.

'Potter, I'm really not in the mood.'

'You know that I was just asking a polite question to make conversation. You don't have to assume that I was just trying to fight with you. As you can see, our love struck friends are in an important and interesting conversation of their own so I decided to keep myself from becoming hopelessly bored and speak to you. Would it kill you to be nice?'

Lily gave him a patronizing stare and returned to her breakfast.

He left her at it turning to Sirius and finding him still talking to Jamie. Fine he thought to himself. He got up to leave. No one stopped him. He stomped out to the first class, transfiguration.

Lily noticed James stomp out of the great hall. She assumed he was going back to the common room. She saw Sirius and Jamie talking and Remus and Ellie deep in conversation. She turned to Jamie.

'I'll meet you in Transfiguration.'

Jamie nodded and turned back to Sirius.

Lily got up and headed for the transfiguration classroom. Transfiguration was her worst subject. She wasn't bad at it but it took her longer to understand it. She turned the corner and saw James sitting on the floor playing with a snitch. She stopped in her tracks. She was about to turn around when he looked up. She knew that she would have to keep walking. She dropped her bag and sat down. She took out her book and started reading. She could feel James' eyes upon her. She looked up, irritated.

'What?' she asked aggressively.

'Nothing.' He said looking down to the snitch, which was struggling in his hand.

Lily looked down to her book again. It had only been a minute before the feeling of being watched returned. She looked up again.

'Why do you keep staring at me?' she asked, curiously.

'I was just thinking.' He replied.

'James Potter thinking?' she said sarcastically. 'Don't strain yourself.'

He looked at her angrily. 'How would you know what others think. Your not the only person to cross this earth who thinks, you know.' He yelled standing up.

Lily stood as well. 'I know that others think and feel,' she said quietly. 'You however are only absorbed in yourself,' her voice rising, dangerously. 'You torment Slytherin's just because you can, you pick on younger students because it amuses you, you hex and jinx Snape whenever he walks past you, you pull pranks that could get people hurt and you think that I do not care about others? At least I don't go out of my way to hurt and embarrass people.' She yelled. 'You James Potter are an arrogant, annoying excuse for a Gryfindor.' She bent and grabbed her books before running down the corridor.

She felt hot and angry. She hadn't gone far before she ran into someone. Ellie was lying on the floor having just been knocked over.

'Oh my God, Ellie, are you O.K? I'm so sorry' she reached down to help her up.

'Yeah. I'm fine.' She said, standing.

'Where is Jamie?' Lily questioned her friend.

'Her and Sirius are still in the great hall. I think Jamie has decided she doesn't like him anymore. He was being a real dick head.' Ellie said. Rubbing her head.

'Oh. Where is Remus?'

'He's just getting a book from the library. He said he would meet me down here.' She paused and looked at Lily. 'Lily. Are you O.K? You looked red and flushed.'

'I just had a run in with potter.' She mumbled. 'We had another fight.'

'Lily,' she sighed, exasperated. 'When are you going to leave him alone?'

'I do. He's the one who won't leave me alone!'

'Whatever. If it makes you feel better.' She sighed. 'Come on. We're going to be late for transfiguration.'
