"Blaze, Brown, and Picam are third years," James muttered to himself Wednesday evening, "But Blaze is alright, although, I do have that 5th year, what's his name…"

"Do you normally talk to yourself?" Lily asked James.

"Judas Priest!" James said jumping to face Lily, "Don't do that Evans! You nearly killed me! I didn't know you were here."

"Yes, I gathered that," Lily said amused, "You know, they say you're only insane if you answer yourself."

"Thanks, I'll keep that in mind," James replied sarcastically, "I was going through quidditch sign-ups, we've got try-outs on Saturday. Did you hear that they're having an all-star quidditch team?"

"Yes, fascinating," Lily rolled her eyes, "And I suppose your planning to be the star of that show too?"

James ignored her, "Do you really not like quidditch? I mean, what's not to like?"

"Quidditch is alright, really," Lily shrugged, "It's more the fact that you play. Sincerely, I enjoy watching everyone but the Gryffindors play."

James grinned, "Or do just like watching Diggory play? Not that it would be too interesting since he's the worst player I've-"

"You are the most arrogant, conceited, jerk that I have ever known, Potter," Lily snapped, "Amos is a very good player and yes, I do enjoy watching him play. You, however, have trouble getting off the ground because of your humongous big head!"

"You would have a big head too if you were asked to be captain of the all-star team," James shot back, "Although, you've got a pretty big head about your boyfriend!"

"Stop attacking my boyfriend just because you're jealous!"

"Jealous? Me?" James asked grinning, "Why in bloody hell would I be jealous of an idiot like Amos Diggory?"

"Potter," Lily seethed, "You'd better hope your room is clean, my friends are coming over."

"You can't come up with a comeback Evans? Or is it just that you think you're boyfriend is an idiot and he is jealous of me?" James said laughing. If looks could kill, James would be dead at the look on Lily's face.

"At least Amos doesn't have to worry about his girlfriend of over a year cheating on him," Lily fumed.

"It's not my problem that you and your little friends are all bitches," James yelled angrily.

"Get out, Potter," Lily said quietly, "And if I see you within the next two hours, you'd better hope I don't hex you to death."

James opened his mouth as if to say something back, but he quickly closed it again. He didn't want to fight with Lily, certainly not about Diggory or Miera. With a final look at Lily, James turned and walked out the door.

Lily sighed as she watched him go. How could she have said those awful things to him? She knew he was still upset about Miera and yet, he was being so rude about Amos. Although, James had been kidding about Amos, he didn't really mean those things, at least not all of them. But Lily hated herself for taking his jokes the wrong way and getting upset with him. Why couldn't she just lighten up a little, especially around James?


"Knock Knock," Holly said knocking on the doorframe, "Earth to Lily."

"Oh hey guys," Lily said putting on a smile for her friends, "Come on in, James isn't here."

"Yeah, we saw him muttering to himself in some corridor," Miera said taking a seat of the sofa.

"This is a nice place," Chloe said taking a look around, "I bet it's nice to be away from the noisy common room."

"Its alright, I suppose," Lily sighed, "I really miss you guys though."

"Yeah, Its just not the same," Holly said and Miera was quick to agree.

"Remus has been bored to death without James around," Chloe said laughing, "He doesn't have anyone to play chess with."

"And Sirius looks lost without his best partner in crime," Holly added.

"James has been really shaping up this year, hasn't he?" Miera asked.

"Yeah, they haven't pulled any big pranks all year," Chloe noted, "Not even at the beginning of the feast."

"Maybe they're finally growing up," Lily said rolling her eyes, "Anyway, onto more important matters, since when have you and George been a couple Holly?"

A slight flush rose in her dark cheeks, "It just kind of happened over this summer, I guess."

"You didn't tell me about it," Chloe said and the other girls agreed.

"Well, I really didn't think it would last this long, just like a summer thing, you know?" Holly said shrugging, "And here it is, October, and we're still together."

"Is he the one?" Miera asked anxiously.

"Miera, everyone knows Holly's had her eyes on Sirius forever," Lily said grinning, "Do you really think someone as stubborn as she is, would give up so quickly?"

"I am not stubborn," Holly protested, "And I don't fancy Sirius!"

"Oh come on, Holly," Chloe teased, "You guys have been posing as best friends for years now. When are you going to get together?"

"Enough of me," Holly said quickly changing the subject, "You and Remus have been together forever, when's the wedding?"

Chloe got a dreamy smile on her face, "We'll have been together a year at the end of this month."

Lily smiled at her quiet friend. She was glad Chloe was so happy; she and Remus were the perfect match. Truthfully, it wouldn't really be a surprise if they did end up married. Lately, they hadn't left each other's sides.

"But what about our Head Girl and Amos?" Miera said smugly, "When is your wedding?"

Lily smiled, "I don't know," she admitted, then quite without meaning to she said, "I haven't even said yes yet."

"You're still thinking about it? Or are you really going to say no?" Miera asked excitingly. Miera was one of those girls who lived for gossip and secrets.

"Look at the time," Lily said quickly, "You guys best be heading back." She looked to her friends faces; Miera's ready to drive more information out of her, Chloe's with slight surprise and a small smile, and finally she looked at Holly. She was her best friend, and there wasn't much they could hide from one another. Sure enough, Holly's eyes were dancing and there was a big smile on her face. She didn't look the least bit surprised at Lily's announcement that she hadn't decided on an answer for Amos' proposal.


After walking the girls had left, Lily picked up James quidditch papers that were still spread across the table. He'd certainly went to a lot of trouble; jotting down the pros and cons for everyone who was trying out. That little voice in her head was telling her that James could be serious about things. Sighing, she put down the notes and went on up to bed.

James' owl, Strike, was waiting for her there. She looked down the creature and saw the letter attached to his leg. Smiling she undid the string, thanking Strike, who kept amazingly still, as she took the letter. After Strike had left, Lily sat on her bed with the letter. She wanted to know what James had to say, but she didn't know if it was only excuses for his behavior inside. Thankfully, the letter decided to open itself.

"Evans," James voice said quietly.

"I know that you probably didn't want hear my excuses and you'd planned on throwing this away. That's why I put a speaking charm on it, the same thing they use on Howlers, if you wanted to know. You probably know the reverse charm and your just going to counter it, but please listen. Yes, I did do the charm myself and it only took me twenty-three times to get it right. Anyway, I guess I'm kind of avoiding the subject of our fight earlier, so I'm just going to get on with it. You were right, like usual, I have been jealous of you and Amos for the last few years. In fact, the guy might not be too bad if you weren't his girlfriend. We'll just ignore the fact that he hit me in the head after we won the quidditch cup in our third year, and I was unconscious for three days. Anyway, I wanted you to know that I was only kidding, at least until you brought up Miera. I didn't mean what I said about you and your friends, except maybe for her. I also wanted to tell you that this isn't totally my fault. It's okay to have fun once in awhile, Evans, lighten up a bit. Nobody's perfect, although, I must admit you're pretty close. Nobody expects you to be this super-strict smart person just because you're Head Girl. People will listen to you more if you talk to them and have a good time. Then, they'll follow your example without you screaming your head off. I'll let you get some sleep; I know you probably don't want to listen to my pathetic apology all night. Goodnight Lily.

James

And by the way, think about who you want to be before you say yes to Diggory.

Lily smiled slightly. The letter was sweet, although James was right, it was a bit pathetic. Still, he had sounded really sorry. She wondered if she should go see him in his room. 'Nah,' she thought grinning, 'I'll let him worry about it for awhile.'
