Lily Evans pulled out a t-shirt and a pair of jeans and dressed. It was the weekend and her head was throbbing from all the studying she had been doing for exams, which were now over. All over the school tensions lightened and there were no worries. School was almost over now and everyone was ready for summer. Especially Lily, who instead of spending all summer with her wicked sister would be spending it with her best friend, Rose instead.
Scrolling down the corridors, Lily was happy to be alive. It was bright outside and through the open windows she could smell the fresh flower scented breezes. Nothing could go wrong today. Well except-
"Why hello Evans," an obnoxious oh-so-familiar voice spoke out behind her.
Think of the devil, Lily thought ignoring James Potter's voice as she increased her speed to the Great Hall.
"I don't think you heard me, Lils," James said catching up with Lily and falling into step with her. "I said hello."
"I heard you," Lily said, "I just chose to ignore you." Lily clenched her teeth; Potter caused her so much aggravation.
"Why the long face, Evans? It's a true honor for you to be talking to me," James said in his cocky tone.
"Oh shove it Potter," Lily said entering the Great Hall leaving Potter as she took a seat next to Rose.
"Hey there Evans! Great day to hang out side!" Rose exclaimed pushing some toast and eggs onto Lily's plate. Lily never chose what she ate in the morning; Rose simply picked it for her.
"Oh not you too! I'm tired of that Evans crap," Lily said taking a bite of her toast.
"I see you ran into Potter this morning," Rose said turning her head and looking at James and Sirius holding on to the center of attention around a bunch of girls.
"Does it show?" Lily said giving a glare to Potter. Why did he have to torment her so much?
"You know he is cute maybe you give him a-"
"I don't even want to hear it!" Lily said covering her ears. She was never giving the ass a chance. Not in her life time or her next.
Rose shrugged.
00000000
Lily chatted happily with Rose and a few other of her friends by the lake. They had taken off their shoes and let the waves of the lake brush their feet. The each were talking about what they were doing this summer and for once Lily actually had a summer to look forward to.
"Hey what's going on over there?" Mica a German girl was a round face and big eyes said looking up in the direction of the castle.
Each of the girls turned and Lily should have guessed it was Potter and Sirius up to no good.
"Two against one," Rose said shaking her head.
Lily looked to see what she meant and she realized that Snape was standing rigged at Potter and Black. His wand was lying in the grass behind him and figured that one of them and disarmed him.
"Impredimenta!" Sirius said to Snape who was thrown off his feet onto the ground.
People began turning to watch and Lily got a sick feeling in the pit of her stomach, this was sick. How could someone torment a person like this?
James and Sirius advanced on him and James looked over at Lily by the water then quickly turned back. Is he doing this to impress me? Lily thought sickly.
James said something that Lily could not hear and Sirius answered back. Several people laughed and Lily guessed this was a way of tormenting Snape worse.
Snape attempted to get up, but the jinx that had hit him was still working, he struggled as though strapped down to the ground. Lily and the girls got closer and Lily could now hear what they were saying.
"You –- wait," Snape said breathing hard, staring at James as though trying to burn a hole through him with his glare, "You – wait…."
"Wait for wait?" said Sirius coolly, then in mockingly, "What're you going to do, Snivelly, wipe your nose on us?"
Snape swore to James and Sirius and attempted of few hexes but being that his wand was a few feet behind him nothing happened.
"Wash out you mouth," said James coldly and pointed his wand to Snape, "Scourgiry!"
Soap sprang from Snape's mouth chocking him. He began coughing and pink bubbles waterfalled out of his mouth. Lily was horrorstricken and sickened. This was horrible, how could anybody do this to someone. It was sick and Lily was tired of it. She stepped forward closer to the circle of people, "Leave him ALONE!"
James and Sirius turned around to Lily who was fuming, red with anger. James hands sprang to his hair and he ruffled it around.
"All right, Evans?" James said breaking away from the cold, icy tone he had been using with Snape.
"Leave him alone," Lily said repeating herself. She glared at James, "What's he done to you?" Lily asked.
"Well," James said in his most cocky voice, "it's more of the fact that he exists, if you know what I mean…." Lily did know what he meant, it's the way she felt about Potter herself.
Many people laughed, and Lily scowled, this was not funny. These people needed a serious reality check.
"You think you're funny," Lily said as icy as she could manage. "But you're just an arrogant, bullying toerag, Potter. Leave him alone." Lily noticed that the jinx was wearing off on Snape behind Sirius and James and she hoped that he got away.
"I will if you go out with me, Evans," James said quickly, "Go on….Go out with me, and I'll never lay a wand on old Snivelly again."
It was just a way to impress me, Lily thought. How sick can one person get? She couldn't hate James more than she did right now.
"I wouldn't go out with you if it was a choice between you or the giant squid," Lily said, at least the giant squid couldn't talk.
"Bad luck, Prongs," Sirius said next to him, he turned around to Snape, "OY!"
Snape swished his wand towards James and there was a red flash of light, and a long gash appeared on the side of James' face. James flinched slightly, but reacted quickly pointing his own wand to Snape and in a flash of green light Snape was in the air upside down. Much to the amusement of onlookers Snaps robes fell down his skinny legs to expose a pair of grey underpants. The circle of people broke into a fit of laughter.
Lily almost laughed for a second but controlled herself then turned angry again, "Let him down!" She demanded clenching her fists.
"Certainly," Potter said jerking his wand upward to the beautiful sky that Lily though she was going to enjoy today but Potter had other plans. Snape fell from the sky landing in a heap but quickly recovered, wand up.
"Lovomotor mortis!" Sirius said as though he were getting bored. Snape went as rigid as a bored and fell to the spot he had just gotten up from.
Lily was pissed now, why wouldn't they stop? "LEAVE HIM ALONE!" She grabbed her wand from her robes pointing it at the two boys. James and Sirius eyed it like it a hawk. Lily Evans was one of the best students at charms and James hated to see what she could come up with.
"Ah, Evans don't make me hex you," James said looking away from Lily's wand to Lily's eyes. Lily didn't believe for a second that he would do such a thing, "Take the curse of him then."
James sighed deeply as though just being told he had to clean the whole castle, then turned to Snape muttering the counter curse.
"There you go," James said to Snape as though doing him a great favor, "you're lucky Evans was here, Snivellus-"
Snape stood up, "I don't need help from that filthy Mudbloods like her!"
Lily blinked considering if she should put a hex upon him herself but realized she would be just as bad as Potter. "Fine," she said coolly, "I won't bother in the future. And I'd wash your pants if I were you, Snivellus."
James faced turned red and he turned back to Snape, "Apologize to Evans!"
Lily sneered, "I don't want you to make him apologize, you're just as bad as he is…."
"What?" James said and Lily noted that she had never seemed James looked surprised. "I'd NEVER call you a- you-know-what!"
"Messing up your hair because you think it looks cool to look like you've just got off your broomstick, showing off with that stupid Snitch, walking down corridors and hexing anyone who annoys you just because you can- I'm surprised you broomstick can get off the ground with that fat head on it. You make me SICK."
Lily turned away back to the castle. She had never told Potter of so well. She almost felt…well proud. Lily heard James call her name but she was not going to turn around for that pig.
