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 13: Big Deal!

James jumped away from as if I had suddenly lit on fire. I looked to the door to see Peter Pettigrew standing in shock. Uh…oh….

I'm beginning to think Peter is starting to think of me as more than a friend. I wasn't really for sure until now, but seeing the way he fled from the room at the site of James and I, I'd say it's a for sure thing.

Well, I don't know why! I've given him no reason to like me. Except go out with him. In the Astronomy Tower. Where people go to make out, but I didn't kiss him! I didn't do anything except talk to him. What's the matter with boys these days? Always making a big deal out of nothing.

"I…uh…" I was cut off.

"It was a mistake." James mumbled lowly. He was looking down at his feet so I wouldn't see his eyes.

"A mistake?" I meant to state but I think it came out sounding more like a question.

"Yes, a mistake." He looked up more but still avoiding my eyes, "So, let's just move on to the next bathroom, and not make such a big deal out of it." He walked out before I could say anything.

I sighed. Ok, so maybe not every boy makes a big deal out of things. Why is it that the boys I want to make a big deal out of things don't, but the boys I don't want to make a big deal out of things do? Does that make sense? Uh, this is such a strange and mixed up world that I live in.

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 slowly made my way back to the library. Tonight was our last study session, and I was a little shaky about seeing James and Peter both at the same time. I had been avoiding them the last few days. James was easy, considering he was doing the same to me, but Peter I had to dodge a few times. I had seen them together at lunch and they acted the same as they always had toward each other. So, I hoped everything would go to plan.

We're just supposed to put the finishing touches on the project and head to bed. It was near 8:30 right now. I reached the library to find all three of them at our normal table. They all had their books open and seemed to be concentrating very hard. I walked in and sat in the empty seat next to Severus. Peter and James looked up at me, but Severus kept on reading something or another.

"Hi." My voice came out a little higher than planned. I coughed a little, "Sorry I'm late. I guess I didn't check the time."

"S'ok." James mumbled and went back to working. I put my books down in front of me. I had brought extra work just incase we got done early and I could finish some potion's homework up. "What are we doing?"

"We were waiting on you." Peter said closing his book he had in hand. I shuddered as I remember our first study session. I shall never look at a book in Peter Pettigrew's hand the same way again.

"Oh, well, I'm really am sorry. It was only 8:10 when I left. I guess time-" James cut my rambling off;

"I said it was ok. I thought we would just re-read our report, measure it, and work out the presentation." I jumped as Severus closed his book loudly.

"Sounds good to me." I said in a perky attitude. Was it just me, or did I seem like the only one who wasn't being a grouch?

"Ok, I read up that many witches made a spell that made the fire tickle them instead of burn. I heard one witch, I don't really know her name, but she like the tickle so much that she died at least 10 times."

Severus sighed, rolling his eyes, "Her name was Wyndelin the weird. Don't you remember anything from third year?"

James glared at him, "Not exactly. I have better things to remember...like girl's names and what houses they are in. Stuff you don't have to worry about." James was now smiling smugly. An attitude like that was going to get him into big trouble one day. I just hope I'm there to witness it.

"Anyways, I figured we could do a reenactment of her being burnt. Lily can play Wyndelin and we'll play the muggles." James grinned excitedly. He was waiting to get praised for his great idea.

"Sure." I mumbled.

"Ok." Peter said quietly.

"Stupid muggles." Severus huffed.

The smile fell off James's face, "Ok then...I guess we should practice." Oh god, this night was never going to end.

But it did end. After another hour and half. I thought I was going to end up sleeping in the library. Not that I haven't ever done that before. Finales are rough and take all night studying sessions. Tons of kids camp out in the library around that time. Well, the ones Madame Pince likes.

"Lily!" I stopped halfway out the door making James bump into the back of me. I could feel James's eyes on me as I walked towards the boy who had called me.

"Lily-" Peter started but I stopped him. I turned to James. Please, Leave. I think he got the idea since he coughed awkwardly and walked out.

I turned back to Peter expectantly. He took in a deep breath and let it out, "Oh God...I've rehearsed what I was going to say over and over in my mind but I lost everything now that I'm here. I just...I have absolutely no clue how to say this and I k-"

"Peter!" I said sharply to stop his rambling, "Just say it." I pleaded. I was so tired and it had been a long day. I was about to lose what patients I had left.

"Lily...Did you cheat on me with James?" At this moment, I really didn't know what to think. In fact I don't think I did think.

"WHAT!" I yelled earning everyone left in the library's attention and a evil glare from Madame Pince. I grabbed Peter's wrist and pulled him outside the library like a mother would her two year old, "WHAT!" I repeated even louder.

He swallowed hard, "D-Did you cheat on me with James?"

My anger flew again, "I heard you the first time!" I put my hands over my face. How did this happen to me? What did I do to deserve this, God? Yes, I know I led the boy on for the wrong reasons, but, damn it, I don't want him!

"Lily?" He said quietly.

I removed my hands and started at him, "Peter...I didn't cheat on you with James."

A smile stretched across his face making me almost regret saying the next line. "I didn't cheat on you with James, because we aren't going out, Peter. We just went on two dates!"

The smile fell off his face, "Oh."

"I'm sorry, Peter." I mumbled before turning to walk toward the Gryffindor entrance.

A/n: I'm so sorry it took so long to get this chapter out, but I had major writers block. I would just sit and stare at the screen. I'm also this chapter wasn't as long as the others, but I promise the next one will be longer than this. Hopefully no more writers block will come along. Thanks to everyone who reviewed! Thanks so much for reading!
