A/N- Hi I'm back! Elladora D. Jobberknoll

Thanks to my reviewers!

Professor Drusilla W. L. Silvers- Sorry it's not Frank Longbottom it's just a character I made up!

The Incomplete Alaphabet- Thanks for telling others about my story! I know I put Hestia in Ravenclaw in my other story, but I decided to put her in Gryffindor in this one because I didn't want to have Monica Longbottom plus another made up character for a friend of Lily's so I just switched Hestia's House.

Ch. 4- Lily Puts Everything In Perspective (Kind of)

Everyone turned around and looked in the direction James had pointed.

James grabbed Sirius' shoulder and muttered angrily, "No Padfoot. Not Evans."

Everyone was turning around again,so James quickly released Sirius from the vice grip he had on his best friend.

"What are you talking about Potter? There's nothing there!" said Emmeline in an exasperated voice.

"You didn't see it?" said James putting on a confused act. "I could have sworn I saw this weird hippogriff thing flying above the castle! Maybe it's these glasses. I think there's something seriously wrong with them because I've been seeing dancing Snitches around the Slytherin Seeker's head since the last Quidditch match."

Everyone snorted loudly, remembering how the Slytherin Seeker had been bashed repeatedly in the head by the Snitch, dazing him, and allowing the Gryffindor Seeker to capture it easily.

"What were you two talking about?" asked Peter, curiously having noticed James hurriedly muttering to Sirius.

"Oh James was just reminding me that…" said Sirius, pausing so he had more time to think of an answer. "I have a number of dates already lined up for the summer, so Evans, I'll have to postpone indefinitely."

He glanced at James whose face quickly became less life threatening.

"So what are you girls doing this summer?" James asked cheerily.

"Well we're…" began Monica.

"Hey Lily!" called a masculine voice.

"Oh hi! Come sit!" said Lily brightly and a tall boy with brown eyes and dark blonde hair appeared and sat down next to Lily. "Everyone this is Andrew Worchester. He's in our year but in Ravenclaw," said Lily and everyone nodded or smiled at the boy.

All except James who stared angrily at him, the angry, life threatening look back on his face.

Fortunately, Lily didn't notice.

"You can call me Andy," said the boy quickly.

"So…Andy," said James, trying to keep his voice even. "How do you and Evans know each other?"

"Arithmancy class," said Andy, smiling at Lily, "Merlin! I'm glad that class is over!"

"So it was difficult for you?" said James, brightening up a bit at the fact that this "Andy" might not be so damn perfect.

"A bit…" began Andy.

"Oh don't be modest!" said Lily, giving James an evil glare. "We were the top two students in class!"

"Only because I had you to help me," said Andy sweetly.

Lily blushed scarlet and James sat gaping. Why couldn't HE make her blush like that?

"Andy, you're on the Ravenclaw Quidditch team right?" asked Remus cautiously as he noticed the look on James' face.

"Yeah. I'm a Chaser," said Andy casually.

"And he's wonderful!" added Lily, beaming.

James made a mental note to knock Andy off his broom at the next match between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw.

"James is an excellent Chaser too!" piped up Peter and James felt a surge of gratitude toward his friend for acknowledging his talents.

"Yeah, you were very hard to get past at this year's match against Gryffindor," said Andy, nodding in agreement.

"So again summer plans girls?" asked Sirius, going back to their previous subject.

"Blimey! Look at the time!" said Andy, quickly standing up after glancing at his watch, "I was supposed to meet my mate Charlie ten minutes ago!"

He smiled at Lily. "I guess I lost track of time."

"Bye then," said Lily sadly, not noticing the gagging noises James and Sirius were making.

Andy gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before he walked quickly up towards the castle. Lily's face turned bright red and James scowled angrily.

"So I see why you didn't want to go out with me!" said James, his voice shaking slightly. "You have Randy!" He made a face and stood up, his hands shaking angrily behind his back.

"His name is Andy!" spat Lily. "But you probably didn't hear that having the attention span of a three-year-old! And HE'S not the reason I won't go out with you, Potter! It's because you're an arrogant, lowlife, brainless prat who can't take no for an answer and you can't stand that I'm not interested! You can't stand the fact that some girl at school doesn't swoon at the name of the 'wonderful James Potter' and who doesn't flip head over heels at the thought of a date with you! I can't believe you haven't gotten that through your thick head yet!"

"Well thank you so much, Miss Evans, for putting everything in perspective for me!" said James angrily. "I can't believe I ever…"

"Alright enough!" shouted Emmeline and Remus, jumping between James and Lily.

"Lily come on!" said Emmeline, dragging Lily back towards the castle.

"Prongs! You're done!" said Remus, nodding toward Sirius who grabbed James' other arm and they dragged him toward the greenhouses, followed by an anxious looking Peter.

"Oh that git!" breathed Lily as she sat seething on the steps outside the castle.

Emmeline and Monica both had a hold on her arms, in case Lily decided she had to go and pick a fight with Potter again.

"Can you believe that jerk?" spat Lily, rounding on Monica who winced under Lily's death glare.

"Well I think he should have figured out by now that you're not interested," said Monica cautiously.

The three girls were silent for a while.

"So were you planning on telling us about Andy?" asked Emmeline, grinning mischievously at Lily who turned pink and quickly became less angry looking.

"Oh I've known him since third year. Since I started Arithmancy," said Lily, a dreamy look appearing on her face, "I always thought he was cute, but just this year we had seats next to each other so now… oh he's so wonderful!"

"Why didn't you tell us earlier? Why at the end of term?" squeaked Monica excitedly.

"Well, because he only asked me out a few days ago after our Arithmancy O.W.L," said Lily, blushing. "I told him I'd love to and so we're going to be seeing each other next year when term starts again!"

Lily's face fell and she frowned slightly. "But what if he meets someone else over the summer? Someone who's prettier, more interesting and fun and smart…"

"Lily!" said Emmeline, cutting her friend off. "He seems to truly like you! He wouldn't do that!"

"And if does he's not worth your time," added Monica.

"Thanks," said Lily, smiling as she gave each of her friends a big hug. "I needed that."

"She's, she's dating someone?!" said James frantically, struggling against the grip Sirius and Remus had on his shoulders.

"Prongs!" said Sirius tiredl., "You knew this would happen someday since she keeps refusing to go out with you!"

"But, but why?" said James, burying his head in his hands. "Why can't it be me? Or why can't I get over her?"

"I don't know mate," said Peter, peering at James. "But maybe you should just let Lily be happy."

"You can't force her to like you Prongs," said Remus gently. "Maybe you should just step off now that she's with Andy."

"Yeah maybe," said James in a dazed voice. "I don't know if I can though."

"Well avoiding her might help," piped up Peter.

"And what better way to do that then to got out of the country for the summer holiday?" said Sirius brightly.

"You're all right, Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot," said James, sighing. "We'll be in the south of France for the summer. Away from… her."
