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!

Chapter Ten: Projects, Projects, and more 'F'ing Projects.
Monday Morning. What a terrible invention. I don't know what's worse. Going to bed on Sunday Night knowing you have to get up, or actually getting up. It's pretty much a tie to me. Let's just say, I am not a morning person at all.
My normal morning consist of waking up to Mary throwing things about trying to find the "perfect outfit" even though we all wear uniforms. Then I stalk down to the showers with my eyes half closed/half open. Normally I'm fully awake by time the water hits my face, but I still despise talking to people. And that brings to the main topic. I'm currently being bugged by three Gryffindors. If you don't know who they are...then you haven't been following along very well.
"So, Lily, James's tells us you went on a date with Wormtail, Friday night." Sirius wiggled his eyebrows up and down. I nodded unable to talk since my mouth was full of strawberry jam.
"Wormtail sure came back happy." Remus added sitting on the other side of me. James sat in front of us.
I swallowed all my jam, "What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means...Peter came back all smiles." Remus grabbed a biscuit from in front of me. I looked to James to see this conversation wasn't even having an effect on him. He was looking down eating as much food as quickly as possible.
"Ooo..." Sirius taunted while filling up his plate, "Someone had a late night snogging session? Or was it more?" He winked at me.
"Shut up, Black." I said with an icy glare, "We didn't do anything but eat."
"So, going out with him again?" Remus asked. Oh god, another date with Peter? I hadn't thought of that. I mean, Peter's a sweet boy, but I get this weird feeling around him. As if he's going to do something random and unexpected. I don't think I'll be going on another date with him.
"Of course, she's not." I looked up, surprised, to see James trying to look as if he was casually eating. By now though, he was just pushing his food around with his fork. Remus and Sirius looked just as surprised as I did about what he said.
"How do you know I won't?" I was feeling a little offended by his sudden remark.
"Come on, Evans. The boy took you to the Astronomy Tower, and you didn't kiss him one time. There are people who go to the Astronomy Tower and have sex the first date! You don't even give the boy a small peck on the cheek." James's eyes narrowed into two small slits. I felt mine doing the same.
"Maybe some boys are more respectable than you are, James Potter. I bet Peter didn't even want to kiss me on the first date." I jumped up out of my seat raising my voice slightly getting attention from the people sitting around me.
James jumped up too and I noticed for the first time how much taller he was than me, "That's bullshit, Lily. Just bullshit. You know he wanted to kiss you. I mean...Look in a mirror!" I blushed. Was that a compliment?
"Guys...mind sitting down? Even the professor's are starting to stare..." Remus mumbled pulling on my sleeve. I looked around noticing it was true. Professor McGonagall was staring straight at us. I sunk down while James did the same.
James mumbled lightly, thinking know one would hear, "She's not going back out with him." Oh, he had no right to call who I was going out with and who I wasn't going out with. I get to pick that. That's at least something I have control over.
"Hi mates." Peter sat down next to James grinning. No one answered him, but it didn't seem to bother him. He began fixing his plate.
"Peter, what are you doing Friday night?" I asked earning all the boy's gazes. James's was a hard glare while Sirius and Remus watched with curiosity. Peter's was more of a surprised look. As if he didn't expect me to talk to him.
"Nothing that I know of." Peter said taking a bite of a biscuit.
"I would love to go out with you again." I almost winced saying it. I was not a good liar. Well, I guess this really wasn't a lie. Since I would love to go out with him and make James angry.
"Sure, I'll put up the warning sign." Peter's face lighted up.
I forced a smile, "Great. Then it's a date." As soon as the word date left my mouth James's fork hit his plate with a loud bang. Our part of the table went silent as James stormed from the room.
"What's got into him?" Peter asked pointing in James's direction with a fork.
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
Another thing I could do without, other than Monday Morning,is History of Magic. I know, I've said that before, but that should just prove how much I hate it. Today Professor Binns seemed to feel especially boring.
It took two elbows to lean on to keep my head up. This made it impossible to take notes. Oh well, my quill was about out of ink anyways. One thing, however, did get me awake.
"Today class, we will began a History of Magic project. You will be paired into groups of four and have to re-enacted a part of Magic History. I already have you paired off so don't get your hopes up about choosing partners. Each project must be 10 minutes long. This counts as half your grade so it will be done in study sessions. Two groups will be in a library a day. The other groups will be in here using your text books and rehearsing. Any questions?"
Sirius raised his hand. I knew it was going to be a joke. "Do we get to choose the part of History?" Whoa...wasn't expecting that.
"No." Professor Binns answered then pointed to another girl. I didn't hear her question. I was looking around the room. Who would I be paired with? Who would I like to be paired with? I guess working alone is out of the question, huh?
"Partners are: Black, Lupin, Malfoy, Heur-Wood. You'll be doing The Great Goblin War." Wow, bad group. But I bet Mary will be happy. She has three hot guys.
"Evans, Potter, Pettigrew, Snape. You'll be doing the Salem Witch Trails. I'll be looking forward to that one." NO! NO! NO! Ugh, this is such a typical thing to happen to me.
I looked to see Peter waving at me happily. James was in front him not looking pleased at all. Well, it's not as if I'm happy about this whole thing. Not only do I have Potter as a partner I have Snape and Peter also. Don't get me wrong, Peter's nice, but with James there...it was going to be hell. And Snape never really talks to me.
"Alright, if you would all move with your partners. You can begin to discuss your projects." Professor Binns sat down at his desk as the class began talking. I walked over to Peter and James.
"Hello Lily." Peter took my books from my hands and placed them on the table next to him. I guess I'm sitting there. I sat down and James turned his chair around to face us.
Sooner or Later, I'm not quite sure which one, Severus Snape came and sat in a chair next to James. We stared. That pretty much sums it all up. No one moved, no one talked, just stares. I coughed awkwardly trying to break the silences.
James looked at me, "Go get some water."
I glared at him, "No." He shrugged and went back to watching the table. This is ridiculous. Looks like I'm going to have to take control of the project, and I hate having to talk to everyone like this.
"Ok...So..." I started lamely, "Does anyone know anything about the burning of the witches?" James and Peter both continued staring at me. I'll take that as a no. I looked to Severus.
He sighed as if out of boredom, "The burning of the witches took place mostly in the States, but not all of them. They didn't care if you were a proven a witch or not they burnt if they had even the slightest suspicion. In one interesting case, a witch cast a spell on herself to keep the fire from burning her. I can't seem to remember her name though." We all looked at him in shock. Someone's been actually paying attention in class. He deserves some claps.
"Ok, well...at least one of us knows what we are going to do. I say if we really want to get ahead we all need to meet Friday after supper for a study session. We should have a few of these." And the boys continue to stare. Damn them.
After a good 20 seconds I got frustrated, "I'll take that as a yes," The bell rang, "Be there or I'll make sure you don't get a grade." The boys looked up surprised. Mwhaha...Evil Lily Evans...I like the sound of that.
A/n: This wasn't a very long chapter, but the next one will be longer. And hopefully posted sooner...I'll do what I can. PLEASE REVIEW!
