Thanks to the ones who reviewed for chapter 6. Im sorry it was so short but I promise this one will be longer.

Anyway here is chapter 7 - Sorry sometimes just don't cut it

James searched through the classroom for lily. He waited for her in the morning but she slipped right passed him. Everyone was stopping him left and right, trying to figure out what happened the night before. He took his seat and began writing on a piece of parchment.

Sorry about last night, I just took it to far

but for what it's worth I really didn't mean anything I said

talk to me and I shall apologize in person

Potter

Glancing around , making sure no one was watching , he tossed the note on her desk. Lily stopped her quill as the parchment hit her hand. She looked around the room till her eyes fell on james. "Open it" he mouth. Lily glared and crumbled it up as he watched . A girl came up behind her smiling and sit down. They began talking and giggling, totally ignoring him. He just laid his head down and groaned. "Rough night harry"? He jumped slightly causing Ron to jump. He eyed the boy desperate to remember his name. Ron that was it, at least he thought it was. "Harry, are you okay?" he asked slipping into the seat next to him. "Yeah I guess once I figure this out". Ron glanced over at hermione and then back to him. "Listen mate, I don't know what happened between you guys, but you love each other. It will work it's self out."

Ron gave a weak smile as james started to laugh "We are not in love Ron, understand me?" Ron threw his hands up in defense "Gosh, if you say so harry, don't get worked up again. Remember keep your head focused we have a quidditch game tonight against Slytherin ". For the first time that day james smiled, "Now that is the best news I've had all day Ronny boy."

"Ronny boy, come on harry" he pretended to puke. James smiled; this guy sorted reminded him of sirius. This harry kid, seem to know good people. If only he could find out who this harry person was. They carried on in conversation for a minute, james having to pretend he knew who this Malfoy character was. For what he could gather he wasn't much for knowing. Maybe he should meet this Draco, marauders style. Students jumped apart as the door slammed open. "Face the front, there will be no talking. I do trust you remembered your potion ingredients" Snape sneered as the students dove for there bags. All except James and Lily. Snape scoffed "Mister Potter, your honeymoon may be over but I assure you it doesn't excuse you from working in my class." Lily rose her hand waiting to be called on. Like always snape continued to ignore it. "Excuse me professor, I don't believe that you should be discussing last night in front of other students. Umm sir" her voice trailed off as he quickened his pace to her desk.

"Ms. Granger, I don't believe you would be as foolish to get cheeky in front of other students. As for last night, you and potter did a good job in humiliating yourselves."

James sneered as snape continued to berate her in front of the class. "Leave her alone you slimy git". Lily threw her hand over her mouth as snape made his way to his desk. He looked down at him, as james just smirked "It amazes me how you never seem to wash your hair, you do quite the bang up job of humiliating yourself as well"

If Severus Snape ever had a urge to kill a Potter it was now. "You arrogant, foolish boy, I believe your father left you with more than you can clearly handle". "Thirty points from gryffindor for speaking when clearly being ignored" he spoke at Lily. Turning back toward james, he smiled "And another thirty points for Mister Potter's never ending need to play the hero". Dropping his smile he finally sat down, "Class turn to page four hundred and twenty, then begin your potion. We will be testing it at the end of the hour" He glanced down at his papers "Potter, Granger, I trust you don't need me to walk you to the head of your house. Try not to disrupt my class any further". "But professor I" he cut her off with the slam on his book "Good day too you both". They both got up and headed for the door. Lily couldn't believe her luck, first day of class and she was in trouble, all because of james again. She hurried up the steps leading out of the dungeon. She had to get away before she broke down. James hurried after her with a quickness, being a quidditch star he was able to catch her easily.

"Lily wait up" he spoke with a little more force then intended. She spun around forcing them to stand eye to eye "What! You forgot to tell me about another one of my rotten qualities. Or maybe you came to gloat about getting me in trouble again" James frowned "Lily I didn't mean to say those things, they just slipped out; you had me so angry" he paused biting his upper lip, he couldn't explain his need to make her feel better. He never cared before, maybe all this commotion had him loony, hell he didn't know. She sniffed trying hard to keep the flood back from slipping from her eyes "Potter, don't stick up for me anymore OK, I don't need it nor want it" "But lily just hear me out please, Merlin must you always fight me?" Lily held her hand up signaling him to stop. "James, just leave me alone; The next thing I want to hear from you is that you found a way out of this mess". With one last look of sadness she sighed "You always bring on the fighting james remember that". Before he could think of a reply she walked away toward Mcgonagall's office. Feeling lousy he turned the opposite way and went to the dorms. If she didn't want to talk then so be it, at least he tried.

He slammed the door to the room and flung himself on harry's bed causing the mattress to swift with his weight. As his hand dangled from the side, his finger tips brushed across a book wedged between the bed. Curious he grabbed the book and opened the pages. He glanced at the pictures of harry, the boy Ron and the girl that was now lily. They seemed so young in the photos, he wondered how they all met. Turning to the next page, he paled glancing at the pictures reading the writing at the bottom. He screamed dropping the book to the floor and that is exactly how Ron found him three minutes later.
