Little Moments

Summary: Lily Evans was never paid heed to be the Marauders. Why should this year be any different? But there is one difference in this year; the six years are assigned to be a job shadow for two months. Lily Evans is assigned to be a Medi-witch. James falls off his broom and has to spend a few weeks in the hospital wing. Rated R for language and sex. R/R!

A/n: My first Lily/James story. I hope it turns out the way I want it to. I have so many ideas for it that I didn't know which one to do. Finally I decided to explain out how Lily and James got together, of course, and why Peter Pettigrew suddenly held a grudge against the two. Just what did drive him to do what he did? I hope to explain that in this story! So sit back and Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I own nothing…….

Chapter Eight: Revenge is Sweet

James is confused. It's the only thing I can think of. Confused by what? You may ask. His undying love for me, of course. HA! I know! I'm only joking. He is just being his normal idiotic self. Of course, that doesn't mean I have to put up with it. I've decided to use my gigantic plan. That's right...gigantic. James went too far yelling at me, twice, for NO reason. Here's the plan. Dumbledore decided it would be great to have the 6th years read their essays to one and other. Well...let's just say mine is going to need a little editing.

i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!

"Emily Addison. If you'll, please, present your project."

It was Monday morning at 6:30 A.M. 2 hours before the other students would be down for breakfast. We had to be in the Great Hall early. Since heaven forbid we miss classes.

I watched a skinny girl with hug glasses and frizzy brown hair get on stage. Her paper shook violently in her hands as she took center stage.

"F-F" Her voice came out high and squeaky, "For my job shadowing project, I-I um..."

She was cut off by the Great Hall doors opening. In waltzed four sloppy dressed boys. I snorted at the sight of Sirius tripping all over the place trying to get his shoes on. He finally did after using James for support.

"Mr. Potter, Mr. Black, Mr. Lupin, Mr. Pettigrew. So nice of you to join us. Please, have a seat." Dumbledore motioned for them to sit with the rest of the Gryffindor 6th years.

With red faces the four boys walked to their seats. I was highly surprised when Peter Pettigrew sat down right next to me. The other three boys, even more surprising, sat around us.

"Hi, Evans!" Sirius practically yelled making me blush deeply as all the attention was turned to us.

"Um...Hi." I gave him a small smile.

James coughed, "Traitor," He coughed again.

I glared at the brown haired boy. Is he still going on about that? He really needs a life of some sort. I mean, it's been two weeks. Does he have nothing better to complain about?

"Sirius Black! Please come give your report." Sirius jumped up knocking head with James. I placed a hand over my mouth to keep from giggling. Maybe it'll knock some sense into both of them.

Sirius took center stage and smiled. I could feel the girls melting around me. I rolled my eyes. Sure, Sirius had his sweet moments, but with all his obnoxious qualities it was easy to over look those moments. Well...it was for me.

"I, Sirius Black, had the most thrilling experience with this projected. I got to work with Professor Binns. Let's hear it for the best ghost this school has!" Sirius saluted Professor Binns as the crowd broke out in a fit of cheering (except the Slytherins). Oh God, Sirius was turning his report into a stand up comedy act.

"But Seriously...and I do mean Siriusly...Professor Binns has taught me a bunch about being a wizard and being a muggle Without him thinking nothing is really clean unless it is done by hand, I wouldn't have a clue how to sweep out his storage closet. Thank-You, Professor Binns."

With his last thank you said, Sirius began his report which everyone lost any awake bone they had left in there body. By my hundredth yawn, his report was over and it was my turn to step up to the plate. I pulled my poster board from beneath the table.

"Wow, Lily you came prepared." Peter admired my poster, but I didn't let him see the pictures. He would enjoy the surprise just like everyone else.

"What else does she have to do?" James stretched his arms over his head. I glared at him almost forgetting that he would pay soon.

"Lily Evans." Oh God, it's my turn. If it weren't for embarrassing James I think I would have called in sick.

I passed Sirius, who gave me a thumb up. I grabbed the back of his robe and pulled him up stage with me. Thank God for my poster. Without it, I would be standing up here alone. I love you poster. If there wasn't a room full of my peers watching me, I'd hug you. I chunked the red poster into Sirius's open hands.

"Don't open it till I tell you to." He nodded without, surprisingly, a stupid comment.

I cleared my throat, "Hi...um...I'm Lily Evans, and I'm here to tell you about my project. I had the wonderful privilege to job shadow, Madame Portly in the hospital wing." I saw her smiling in the back of the room.

"I must say, this was a wonderful learning experience. But Madame Portly is not the only one who deserves my thanks. It also belongs to James Potter." All eyes turned to the messy haired boy. He grinned. Not so fast Jamesy-poo, your bubble is about to be busted.

"Sirius, if you would please." He opened my poster to revile seven empty brown boxes. I pulled out my wand. "Without James's klutziness on a broom, my learning experience would be limited. Not only did I learn how to bandage a screaming patient, but I also learned how to help a screaming boy who is about to wet his pants to the bathroom." I tapped the first box with my wand. The brown was replaced with a picture of me pushing James as fast as I could to the bathroom.

You may have been wondering where I got these pictures. Let's just say it is amazing what some spells in the restricted section in the library can do. I found one spell, the imaginor, where all I had to do was think of what happened, mumble the spell, tab a piece of parchment, and the picture appeared. It was very amazing.

I risked a glance at James. He was glaring at me with a blush from all the laughter. I smirked, "Also, you do not want to be around this boy in the morning. His breath is so terrible; it could take the paint off the walls." I tapped the next brown box and it turned to a picture of me handing James a giant breath mint. A few more snickers broke out from the crowd. The Slytherins were really eating this up. I thought Lucius was going to fall out of his chair. I'm not that funny, am I?

I grinned one more time, "Of course, a boy can't be complete with his baby side." I tapped the next box and another picture appeared. It was of James sleeping while hugging a teddy-bear and sucking his thumb. A few girls broke out with the "Awws.", but all of the guys were laughing and pointing at the picture. Even Sirius wore a little grin.

"That'll be enough Miss Evans." I turned around to see Ms. McGonagall walking towards me. She took the poster from my hands. I winced as I noticed her jaw was clenched, "Meet me in my office to discuss your punishment."

"Ms. McGonagall." Dumbledore's voice roared over The Great Hall, "How about we let this one go? I think...Miss Evans knows what she did was wrong." I looked down at my feet. Guilty look. Guilty look. Come on, for once let my non acting skills work!

Ms. McGonagall still looked mad, "If you think that's best, Albus. But I will not tolerate it again."

"Of course not, Professor." I mumbled sounding surprisingly really guilty.

She nodded holding a little less anger, "Go back to your seats, and let the rest finish."

I walked slowly back to Peter, Remus and James. I was ready to brace the yelling and screaming that was about to come from Potter, but when I got there he was nowhere to be found.

"Peter, Where's James?" I asked sitting in his old seat between Peter and Sirius.

"He left after the second picture. I don't think he could handle the laughter, but that was some trick." I smiled slightly. I glanced up to see Remus across from me. He wouldn't look at me. I think he was a little disappointed that I sunk down to Sirius's and James's level. But he had to see it from my P.O.V. too! I couldn't keep putting up with those stupid remarks. Maybe people will think twice before messing with Lily Evans.

i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!

Classes finally ended, and I was relieved not to have to go to the hospital wing today. I walked slowly to the common room carrying an arm full of books and notebooks. I mumbled the password and the picture frame opened.

As soon as I walked in, the crowd of people in the common room immediately stopped talking. This is the second time I've had this happen to me and I must say...I still don't care. If they want to talk about me, let them have at it. Poof to them all. I turned and walked up the stairs. I really hope they weren't talking about me...

I opened the last door to the right (my dorm) and was met with the squeals of 16 and 17 year old girls. There were five of them spread out in my room. On my bed. Laying on my pillow. EATTING MY CHOCOLATE! Ugh.

"Mary! I told you to ask for chocolate." I snatched my last candy bar from her hands before she could open it. She had already eaten the other two I had.

"But Lillian!" I glared. My name is Lily. "You know it is hard during this time of month. I was craving, and you weren't around for me to ask."

"Whatever. Just don't do it again." I dropped my books on my bed scarcely missing a short brunette girl's foot. "I'm going to the Library. Don't touch my books."

I snatched my dairy from under my bed just incase they decided to snoop. I had had many experiences with Mary and her girls. Let's just say none of them were pleasant. They always found a way to get to me, or make fun of me without me realizing until later.

"Don't be too late, deary! I can't stand sound after I go to bed." I completely ignored her comment as I fled from the room. Believe it or not, Mary, I was going to be back before supper.

I reached the last step of the girl's stair case and noticed the common room was completely empty. Except one boy on the couch. Peter Pettigrew.

"Hi Lily." He said without turning around. Ok...Scary.

"Hello Peter." I started to walk to the door.

"Where are you going?" He asked stopping me in my tracks. Damn...so close.

"To the library. To study." I clutched my diary to my chest.

"Why don't you stay in here? Everyone else went to the quidditch field to see Sirius and James practice." I rolled my eyes. Why doesn't that surprise me? They probably asked them to come.

"I guess I could." I sat down on the far side of the couch. As far away from Peter as possible. I opened my diary and began to write.

November Ninth,

EEEEE! 15 more days till my birthday! And I'll be 17 years old. I'll be in my last year as a child. I'm leaving---

I glanced up to see Peter staring at me in an uncomfortable, almost eerie, way. He didn't even bother to glance away when caught. I'll just ignore him and keep writing.

I'm leaving childhood behind and moving on to be an adult. Only one thing really bothers me. How can I be an adult...when I haven't done adult things? I feel as if I'm missing something awfully important in my life.

"Lily." I jumped at the sound of my name. For a second there I forgot Peter was in the room. I looked up to see him looking nervously at his hands.

"Yes?" I asked trying to hurry this along so I could go back to writing.

"W-Would...I mean...I hope...Ah, hell. Lily, would you go on a date with me?" My eyes widened with shock. I, Lily Evans, had just been asked on her first date. What A wonderful moment in history.

I nodded a 'yes'. Maybe this feeling I have around Peter isn't fear. Maybe I'm really in love with him. I couldn't help but frown. This sure wasn't what I thought love would feel like.

A/n: Thank-you guys sooo much! You are all awesome. I'm so sorry it took so long to update, but I've had exams and projects to do. You know how it is, but I'm glad to report that Wednesday is the first day of SUMMER BREAK! Maybe I'll be able to update more!
