Memory flashes

Chapter 5

The next morning Lily woke up in a large room that connected with her office. James Remus and Sirius were all alone the same hall.

Classes were to start that day, so Lily showered and dressed in her robes. As she was on her way out to the great hall she ran into James, literally. As she was walking down the hall reading her book, she ran into James back.

"OH, I'm sorry" Lily said in an apologetic tone, "I didn't see you."

"No problem, are you on your way down to the great hall?" James asked in a polite tone.

"Yes actually I am." Lily answered.

"Me too, Care to join me?" James asked and Lily nodded, "It's too bad we have to sit at the head table and not with the students, I think we would have more fun with them!"

Lily couldn't help but laugh, not only because as James said this she was reminded of him at a much younger age, but also because she knew that he was right. Lily couldn't help but notice that there were certain features of the old James that she missed, though she would probably never admit this to anyone. She missed his fun care free attitude, when he used to laugh. She noticed that he didn't laugh much any more; he had a much more serious attitude.

"I think I agree with you on that!" she said.

"Really? Lily Evans agreeing with James Potter? I wish some of our old classmates were here to hear this. They would never believe it." James said with a laugh.

"Oh come on we weren't that bad, we just didn't always agree." Lily said in a some what persuasive voice.

"Come off it you hated me!" James said with a huge grin on his face.

"Now, don't go blaming this all on me! You were an arrogant, bullying, toerag, as I think I once called you!" Lily offered defending herself.

"Ok, ok maybe I was pretty bad but if you haven't notice I have changed a little." James said, but before Lily could answer, James said, "Well were here I guess we should take our seats at the head table."

"Yeah I guess we should." Lily murmured. She wasn't exactly sure why, but she couldn't get her mind off of what James had just said. Yes, she could tell that he had changed, but she wasn't sure if she likes this new James very much. Of course when they were in school Lily had spent all of her time telling James that he had to grow up, but now that it had actually happened she found herself missing some features of the old James. Not the pranking or the being mean, but the laughing and joking. His carefree attitude was gone.

"Whatcha thinking about Lily?" She was suddenly brought out of her daydream by Sirius who had just showed up at the head table.

"Hey Sirius, and I was just thinking about…well… James actually." Admitted Lily a little embarrassed.

"OH I get it, you have fallen madly in love with dear old prongs right?" Sirius asked.

"No, nothing like that Sirius. I was just noticing how much he had changed." Lily said

"Oh so you have finally noticed? Well James had hoped that you would." Sirius said.

"What do you mean?" Lily asked obviously confused.

"Come on Lily, you know the only reason he changed was because of you." Sirius said.

"That's crazy I hadn't even seen him since we left Hogwarts. I can't be the reason he changed." Lily said trying to convince Sirius.

"Sure, what ever Lily. You no that James was completely in love with you when we were at Hogwarts, and I would like to say that his feelings for you have changed but then I would be lying." Sirius said in a some what annoyed tone.

"I still don't believe it. James never took orders from anyone, I highly doubt he would change just because some girl told him to." Lily stated.

"He wouldn't have changed if it were 'just some girl' but Lily he was in love with you. What part of that don't you understand?" Sirius asked.

"You no what Sirius I really don't feel like discussing this right now." Lily said putting an end to the conversation.

James, who had been talking with Professor Spout, looked over and noticed that Sirius had joined them.

"What's going on Padfoot?" James asked.

"Oh, not much I was just having a very interesting conversation with our dearest Lily though." Sirius answered.

"About what?" James asked.

"Nothing" Lily said quickly then added, "important."

"Are you sure Lily?" Sirius asked. "I think James might find the conversation very interesting."

"Sirius, I'm sure James doesn't care about what we were talking about." Lily said.

"No, really I'm sure I would." James said.

"No you wouldn't" and with that Lily stormed out of the Great Hall.

"What did I say?" James asked Sirius.

"Nothing mate. I think our dear Lily has just realized some thing about her life." Sirius said with a small smile."
