A/N: Um…I don't own anything you recognize.
Book Lover990: Uh…there's nothing to say is there?
Krissygurl: Thank you for the information on the uniforms, it will definitely help.
Bluebellfairy: Porchia means hog? You don't know how happy you've made me. And of course everyone wants to date Orlando Bloom. (well, some people do, some people don't)
BabyD: Lily actually became obsessed with James after they started dating. But you're right, I did make her seem a bit obsessive. Actually, a lot. I made her sound desperate? Oooh, that's not good, sorry about that.
Livie: Yeah, I know how you feel. Changing schools is hard. I've changed schools like 3 or 4 times. That was elementary school and then in middle I'm staying in one school. But I actually miss the traveling and the changing of schools…
Auntarctic: It was short? Well, I guess it was. See, I told you were changing places, you're writing longer chapters while mine get shorter and shorter.

Chapter 14
The Meeting
{}=[-]={}=[-]={}=[-]={}=[-]={}=[-]={}=[-]={}
Lily was walking to the prefect meeting that she was supposed to be at. She and James arrived at the same time.
They completely ignored each other and were about to go to their regular seats which were occupied. The only seat that wasn't preoccupied was the couch. Scowling, Lily carefully sat down on one side of it and James on the other.
"Now then." Said McGonagall, "Since everybody's here, let's continue." She drifted on about duties.
James was fiddling with his wand and hoping that this torture would soon be over. However, Lily seemed to drink in every word that the teacher said.
"Any questions?"
No one raised their hand.
"Good. Now for this year, I was thinking that instead of the normal Halloween feasts, we should do something else."
A Slytherin prefect asked, "Like what?"
"That's up to you."
"How about a dance?" said James.
"That's a good idea."
A Ravenclaw prefect raised his hand.
"Yes?"
"Or maybe we can have a Halloween festival with rides and food."
"And in which all years are allowed to go to Hogsmeade." Put in another prefect.
"You can do that. I give you permission. However, you have to get everything. Give your ideas to Miss Evans and Mr. Potter, they will be in charge."
"But-but…" Lily sputtered.
"You and Mr. Potter will be in charge of the decorations and supplies." Said McGonagall. "Good night to you all. Dismissed." She left.
The prefects began chattering excitedly.
"So I guess we're going to work together." said James uncomfortably.
"Unfortunately."
"So when do we start?"
"Meet me in the library tomorrow at seven. Unless you have another date." Said Lily, scowling again.
"Look, Lily, I-
"See you tomorrow at seven." Lily gathered her bag and went.
James sighed. He was never gonna be able to get her back. And for what? All because Ashley decided to break him and Lily up. Life was so unfair. He also gathered his stuff and went.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"I can't believe I have to work with him!" said Lily.
"So?" asked Stacy.
"So? How am I supposed to work with him when I'm trying to ignore him?"
"You'll figure it out." Said Maria.
"I don't know what you're all so mad about. Most girls would kill to sit at the same table with James." Said Stacy.
"Well I'm not most girls."
"You're right, you're not. Because if you were, you wouldn't make such a big deal out of such a little thing." Stacy stood up and left.
"What's going on with her?" asked Lily disbelievingly.
"Well, she is right." Said Maria carefully.
"What do you mean by that?" Lily straightened herself.
Sensing danger, Maria quickly said, "N-Nothing, I mean, it's no big deal. Although I understand how you feel, you know, working with James…" Maria drifted off.
"uh-huh." Lily turned to her homework.
"Lily-
"Fine, just side with him."
"Lily-
"I'm going to the library." Lily picked up her books.
"The library's closed already."
"oh." Lily put her books back down. Then she picked them up again and went to the girl's dorm.
"Lily-
Lily didn't hear her since she closed the girl's dorm door.

THE NEXT DAY…
=In the library at seven…=
'You're late."
"Sorry." Said James.
"Whatever, lets just start."
"Right."
=a minute of silence…=
"Uh, Lily, what do we do?"
"I don't know about you but I'm drawing up the plans for the festival."
"Wait, we haven't even decided what rides there are gonna be."
"I have."
"We haven't. McGonagall said to work together."
Lily paused for a moment. "You're right."
"Okay, now what do you have?"
"Well, I was thinking of some muggle festival games and attractions."
"Okay, how about maybe a Tunnel of Doom?"
Lily hesitated again. "Um, I guess."
"Okay, and maybe a roller coater?"
"Yep. And I was also thinking of a Shrieking Shack."
James hesitated. "Shrieking Shack? You mean, the actual Shrieking Shack?"
"No of course not, Like a duplicate of it and inside will be scary ghost and banshees."
"I guess."
"Oh and a werewolf (fake werewolf) will be running around the Shrieking Shack. Halloween won't be full moon but we can levitate a fake one" (Lily doesn't know about Remus)
James nearly fell out of his chair. "A werewolf? Are you sure that's necessary?"
"Well, I guess not but it would be nice, since it can run around and terrify people, I mean, they're such vicious creatures, although I do feel sorry for them, getting bitten…"
"How about a hinkypunk? Or a vampire?" (Again, all fake, not actually the real things)
"A vampire would be good."
"Or a skeleton? Or…you said vampire would be good?"
"Yeah."
"Okay. Vampire it is." James relaxed.
Lily looked at James weirdly. He was acting very strange when she mentioned the Shrieking Shack and a werewolf. They went over the rest of the plans without any problems.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Lily came into the Common Room where she spotted Stacy and Maria. She approached them. Maria exchanged a glance with Stacy.
"hey guys." Said Lily brightly.
"Um, hey." Said Stacy.
"Hey. How did the meeting with James go?" asked Maria quietly.
"Okay I guess. It could have been worse."
"Well, you survived and you didn't strangle James." Said Stacy. "That's good."
"Yeah, except he was acting very strangely."
"Of course he would act strangely in front of his X that he still likes who is very pissed at him." said Stacy.
"Well, I guess." Lily still suspected something was up. She would have asked him but she knew it wasn't her place to ask him.

A/n: another chapter done. Sorry that my chapters are so short, when I started, I was really exited about this fic, but now it just seems old news. So now Lily and James are stuck together working on the Halloween festival. I hope she doesn't kill him. Well what are you waiting for, review!!!
