When Lily woke up the next morning, she lay in bed and stared at the ceiling for a while.

'The Dark Lord'. She liked the way it felt on her tongue. She was looking forward to being taught by him, to hearing what he had to say.

She couldn't wait until tonight's lessons.

Lily found, when she went to her other classes, that the subject material didn't seem nearly as interesting compared to what she was looking forward to. It all seemed so tame.

"You're probably just glamorizing your new subjects," she reminded herself.

"Lily!" James ran up from behind her and fell into step.

"Hey James."

"We're having a club meeting today, during free time. Wanna come?"

She eyed him warily, "What club?"

"It's a new one," he said cheerfully, "Me, Sirius, Remus, and Peter came up with it."

"Uh huh. You think I'm going to like it?"

"For sure! It's right up your alley."

"Ok, what is it?"

"We Hate Slimy Slytherins."

Lily stared at him, horrified, "You can't be serious!"

"You're right, I'm not. I'm James."

Lily started laughing, "Don't be stupid. There is no way I'm coming to your idiotic club meeting!"

"Aw, come on! Just one meeting! Maybe you'll like it! I promise I won't make you wear the club T-shirt."

"You have T-shirts? Wait, don't tell me. I don't want to know."

"Will you come? Please!"

Lily sighed, "Alright, just to the first meeting. But if I get offended I'm leaving."

"Sweet! Oh, and we need a mascot. Do you think maybe you can bring Snape along?" He laughed and ducked Lily's swing.

"Hey! I could still decide to not come! You need to be nice."

"You won't do that, you're too nice! By the way do you know the first Hogsmeade trip is this weekend?"

"Is it really? I'm so excited!"

James clasped his hands together mockingly, "Me too! We can go shopping!"

Lily laughed, "If you really want to."

"So you'll hang out with me then? Cool, I'll meet you in the Front Hall! See you later!" he ran off.

"Well, I guess I walked right into that one," Lily sighed.

"Into what?"

Lily turned around and saw Fabian.

"James conned me into agreeing to spend the Hogsmeade trip with him."

"Oh," Fabian had a funny look on his face, "You know, you could just tell him that you don't want to go."

"I don't really mind. It might be amusing," Lily noticed Fabian fidgeting with his shirt, "Are you ok?"

"What? Yeah, I'm fine. Um, if you, you know, get bored, or something. I mean, James can get annoying sometimes. So if you want to, you don't have to, but if you want to, you know-"

"Fabian," Lily held a hand up, "Would you like to meet me for lunch at Hogsmeade?"

Fabian turned red, "Oh, um... sure! If you want to."

Lily laughed, "I would love to. Where should we meet?"

"Um, how about the Three Broomsticks?"

"I'll have to trust your judgment. I've never been," Lily said, "How about we plan on meeting there at 12 o'clock?"

"That's fine. Do you know how to get there?"

"Oooo, no. I'll have to get James to walk me over."

Fabian nodded and swung his hands a little at his side, "Soo, I guess I'll see you then?"

"Yeah! For sure! See you then!" Lily waved and began to walk again to her next class.

"Bye!" she heard Fabian call behind her.

She smiled and shook her head. Guys could be so ridiculously shy sometimes. Well, most guys. Just look at James and Sirius. Definitely not the kind to bottle up their feelings.

Later, in Care of Magical Creatures, Lily started to wish that James and Sirius would bottle up sometimes. Her and Severus were chasing around a large, scaly insect that kept on shooting darts at them. James and Sirius had already subdued theirs and were running around yelling out useless pieces of advice.

Lily finally managed to immobilize the bug and carefully removed its dart pouch. She handed it to Severus, who wrapped the pouch in cloth and took it to the Professor. Lily wiped her forehead and stood up.

"You were not being helpful," she frowned at James and Sirius.

"You wouldn't have done it without our support."

"Really," said Lily, wincing as she pulled out a stray dart, "I think I would have."

Severus came back and told Lily that they were allowed to leave.

"Great!" said James brightly, "We can get going to the meeting!"

"What meeting?" Severus asked.

Sirius started to sneer at him, but James interrupted him, "A club meeting. Wanna come?"

"Hey! You need to behave! He's not going!" Lily growled at James.

Sirius chuckled, "Did she just indirectly call you a naughty boy?"

Lily huffed and marched away. Honestly, sometimes she wanted to squash their heads with a large rock.

She told Severus so when he came up besides her.

"You are such a Slytherin," he smiled.

"Don't say that about Lily!" James was following.

"He's allowed to complement me," Lily said slyly.

James spluttered a little and Severus smiled twistedly.

"Oh, James," Lily snapped her fingers, "About Hogsmeade."

James looked anxious.

"Don't worry, I'm still planning on going with you. I'm just going to meet Fabian for lunch."

"Any particular reason?" James asked casually.

"No, we're just going to hang out. Why?"

"I was kind of hoping he just wanted to discuss Quidditch tactics with you."

"That worried about the game next week?" Severus sneered.

"We're going to whoop your ass," Sirius started a victory dance around them. Severus watched him with narrowed eyes. His hand was twitching towards his pocket.

Lily grabbed his arm, "Severus," she said warningly.

He patted her on the arm, "Don't worry, I wouldn't do anything around you. I think."

"Hey!" Sirius had come to a stop in front of them, "Don't touch her!"

Lily rolled her eyes and wrapped her arms around Severus's waist, "You mean like this?"

Severus smirked and put his arm around her shoulders.

James leaped at him, but Severus side-stepped at the same time as Lily jumped forward in front of him. James's fist connected with Lily's nose and a deafening crack echoed through the air.

Everyone froze as Lily collapsed, unconscious. Horrified, James started towards her, but was stopped by Severus.

"Don't touch her," he hissed, "You'll only do more harm." He knelt next to Lily and rolled her over gently. James winced when he saw her bloody face.

Severus touched her gently and said, "Enervate."

Lily stirred and opened her eyes, "Wha- what happened? What's wrong with my face?" she reached up, and when she felt her broken nose she winced horribly.

"What the bloody hell happened to my nose?" she started to jump up, but Severus held her down by the shoulders.

"Will you hold still for a second so I can fix it?" he attempted to hold her with one hand while he healed her with the other, but he was forced to drop his wand in order to hold her down, "Hold still for a little!"

"James! What did you do to my nose?" Lily roared.

"Um... well... you see..."

"He punched you," Severus said dryly.

"You did what?" Lily shrieked.

"I didn't mean to!" James looked alarmed at Lily's increased efforts to get free of Severus's restraining arms.

"So, what, your fist just happened to connect with my nose?"

James hurried to explain, "I was aiming for Snape, but he moved and you jumped in front! I wasn't trying to hit you!"

Lily swore. A fresh spurt of blood poured down her face. Severus pushed her back into the ground, hard.

"Stop moving! Let me fix it and then you can do whatever you want to James!"

Lily complied and Severus fixed her nose. She wiped at the blood still on her face and got up. James looked apprehensive.

"Where's my wand?"

Sirius held it out to her. She grabbed it and whipped it out at James. He jumped backwards.

"Whoa, whoa, Lily! Slow down! I didn't mean to! I'm really sorry!"

Lily considered him for a little and then spoke to Severus over her shoulder.

"What curse should I use?"

"Avada Kadavra?"

James chuckled nervously, "That's a good one... yeah."

Lily frowned at him and decided what to do. He deserved this one, no questions asked, Sure, he didn't mean to punch her, but he shouldn't have tried to hit Severus. She waved her wand at him and his clothes changed so that they were decorated with Slytherin emblems.

James looked down at himself, "Well, that wasn't too ba-"

Lily waved her wand again. A vivid tattoo proclaiming 'I love Slytherins' appeared on his forehead. James looked at himself again, but didn't see anything. Severus was doubled over laughing. Sirius looked horrified, but seemed afraid to do anything, in case Lily decided to hex him too.

Lily nodded, satisfied, and walked back up to the castle with Severus, who was still laughing.

She heard James behind her asking Sirius frantically, "What did she do?"

Lily smiled grimly. She was the only one who could remove the tattoo, and she wasn't doing that until James had more then made up for what he did. She had charmed it so that he couldn't conceal or remove it. He was stuck with it until she changed her mind.
