----------------------------------------------------

A little while later..

"No, Potter, you idiot! Move your queen there, and.." Lily whispered, pointing at a space on the board.

"Oh.. Then, HA! Checkmate!" James stated loudly. "In your face, Padfoot!"

"What?! Only cause you had help from the smartest girl at Hogwarts---" Sirius argued.

"You're just JEALOUS cause I beat----"

"Alright! Alright!" Celina shouted, waking the drooling Peter from his nap. "Now it's mine and Lily's turn."

"You KNOW I'm gonna win, right?" Lily said to Celina, getting up from her seat to take Potter's.

"Umm.. yeah, but it doesn't hurt to try, right?" she shrugged as she just sat down in Sirius's lap instead of waiting for him to get up. He was being awfully slow about it anyway.

(Although Lily didn't notice, James was beginning to wish he had Sirius's intellect.) She cast Potter an odd look as he cursed under his breath.

Each and every star could be seen clearly in the night sky through the bewitched ceiling of the Great Hall, but no one noticed. The awaiting of dishes, full of delicious foods, was far more interesting to boys and girls of starving bellies.

Well, most of them.

Anyway, the first years had just been finished sorting. Headmaster Dumbledore had stood and begun the start-of-term speech.

"Caretaker Filch reminds you all that magic is not to be used in the corridors between classes.. blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. And now, I would like to welcome your new Defense Against the Dark Arts, Professor Deckard!"

There was a polite applause from the students as the newest teacher, a tall, blond man in plain green robes stood up, smiling appreciatively. His nose was abnormally huge, and if it were red or bruised it would look as if he had lost a fist fight to a person who held the world record for the biggest knuckles. His dark eyes were half open in a lazy sort of manner, as if he were falling asleep or about to sneeze.

He was a creepy sort of man. Lily shuddered at the thought of him teaching HER class. He didn't look like a competent teacher at all.

She was definitely going to fail that OWL test..

"And also our new Potions teacher, Professor Caliban!"

A pretty young woman stood up and bowed at the extremely loud applause she had received, mostly from the Slytherin table.

"Oh, no.." Remus groaned. "It's her."

"Who?" Celina asked, looking up at the teacher. She was very young, probably not even 20 yet, and not much taller than any 15 year-old, but she had stunningly shiny long, dark red hair the color of blood. She seemed to be basking in the applause.

"That creepy Slytherin girl.." Remus trailed off, looking very pale, as if the moon had just come out.

"Blah blah blah. Now we may eat!" said the headmaster, clapping his hands. [Can you tell I'm a lazy person?] Immediately, the tables filled with colorful and fragrant dishes of food and flagons of pumpkin juice.

"Finally," James sighed in relief, beginning to load his plate of food, disregarding the fact that he probably couldn't finish so much food in one sitting.

"Honestly, it would be much nicer if gramps would let us eat first, before blabbering on and on.." Sirius grumbled, shooting a nasty look at Dumbledore. He usually liked the old guy; Sirius was just being cranky from an empty tummy, like little children who don't have their snack or a nap.

Lily shook her head in disbelief, as she helped herself to some steak and potatoes, and began eating quietly as she half-listened to the other's conversation/evil plotting against Filch.

She didn't eat much.. well, as much as everyone else was. Just enough for a normal meal was fine. Feeling slightly tired, Lily got up from the table.

"Where are you going? Feast isn't over, yet," Celina protested.

"Oh, well, I'm kinda tired. I thought I should go to bed," Lily replied, trying to suppress a yawn, but failing.

"You might want to know the password, then," Remus suggested. "It's Wingarda Pegasus," he whispered, so nobody from another house could have overheard.

"Right," Lily replied. "Bye."

She set off out of the Great Hall absent-mindedly, her feet automatically taking her to the Gryffindor Tower by rote. She didn't get very far when someone caught up to her.

"Hey, Evans," Potter said brightly, slowing down his pace a bit.

Ugh. It was him. Lily scowled. "Goodbye, Potter," she smiled fakely. Maybe she could lose him if she walked faster..

Curses! He was keeping up with her.

"Why are you walking so fast?" he asked curiously.

Lily bit her lip. "Like I said, I'm tired.. and it's dark, and.. what are you doing here anyway?"

"I.. erm.. I ate too fast, and I didn't feel very good, so I thought I'd accompany you back to the common room."

"Mmm hmm.."

Liar.

Lily began to mentally prepare herself for his first practical joke this year. What better time than now? She was alone in the corridors. No one was watching.

But nothing came.

What the heck?!

Lily caught his eye in one of her steely glares. It was coming. She could see right through those.. oddly glittering eyes of his..

"So, have a nice summer, Evans?"

"No," she replied, not wanting to waste her breath further.

James caught the sour tone in her voice and decided that sleepy people were cranky people.

Lily thanked Merlin he didn't speak much after that. She was afraid she'd run out of cold, heartless responses.

Ugh. Was she really being that mean?

No. Potter deserves every bit of it, she thought, yawning again.

Well, she could try to be just a tad nicer.

......

In the morning.

"Early, are we? Well then ..password?" the Fat Lady asked, looking stunning as ever in her lovely pink dress. ;)

"Er.. Umm.." Lily mumbled. Darnit! What was it.. something to do with giants..

"Well?"

"Wingarda Pegasus," Potter said.

As soon as the door swung open, Lily rushed inside, not making eye contact at all with James.

James watched her speedwalk up to her dorm. "Gee, you're welcome, Evans," he muttered.

"Charming young lady, isn't she?" the Fat Lady asked, catching on the sarcasm.
