Chapter 12

Fighting

Lilly sat in her favorite seat far back into the library and sighed. She couldn't believe it; Tom had actually gone off with that slut!

Lilly mentally kicked her self, she never used such words. She supposed James and Tom had, had an influence on her.

Groaning, she opened up her transfigurations book and began to take notes.

"Excuse me?" She heard a male voice say from above her. Lilly looked up and saw Peter Pettigrew.

"Oh, hello Peter, how are you?" She asked softly. Peter's mouth twitched into a weak smile.

"I'm very good thank you, but I really only came to see if you were ok, you seemed very upset this morning." Lilly blushed.

"Yes well, I'm ok; I was just a little confused that's all, but thank you for checking up on me." She smiled brightly and Peter flinched.

"Oh, well ok, I'll be going then." He stood there for a little but more and then turned and left.

Lilly quickly went back to her studying only to be interrupted once more. She sighed frustrated and glared up at the person in front of her.

James took a nervous step back seeing her reaction. "Oh James, I'm so sorry, I, I thought that you were a Slytherin or something." James smiled at her weakly.

"Well, I'm not!" He said laughingly. Lilly smiled warmly.

"What can I help you with?" She asked.

"I was wondering if you could help me with Divination, that class is giving me real problems." Lilly snorted.

"It's a load of Pixie poop if you ask me but of course I'll help you!" She said. James laughed at her wording and sat down across from her.

"Well would you look at who we have here!" They heard someone sneer from near by. Lilly groaned and rolled her eyes as she looked up to find Malfoy, Snape, Riddle, Crabb and Goyle standing beside the nearest bookshelf.

"What do you want?" She asked sharply, surveying each one of the teenage boys with disgust. It wasn't really her thing to hate other houses, but Slytherin were mostly scum.

"We came to enjoy the show, so tell us, which table will you be using today?" Crabb and Goyle laughed stupidly, their fat faces smashing into odd shapes.

James stood up; making the table he was seated at lift and almost topple over.

"Shut your face Malfoy, you sick perverted prat!" He hissed.

Malfoy smirked and turned to Lilly. "How bout it slut; you up for a good shag?" James jumped on Lucius, dragging him to the ground.

Lilly shrieked and jumped from her chair in a fit of tiers. Madam Pince came rushing over and froze both boys with a flick of her wand.

"What in heavens name do you think you are doing? This is a library, not a muggle wrestling stadium!" The Seven teenagers all gave her blank stares and then looked at one another.

"Explain your selves!" she said disgustedly, as she unfroze James and Lucius.

"It was his fault!" Shouted James, "He was calling Lilly a slut, and being perverted and suggesting things, it's not right!"

Madam Pince sucked in her chest angrily and pointed to the door. "Mr. Malfoy, you Mr. Potter and Miss. Evans with go to the Head masters office immediately. As for the rest of you, get out, shoo!"

James and Lilly walked behind Malfoy gloomily. 'This is awful!' thought Lilly 'I've never been sent to the head master before, So long to my perfect record!'

Malfoy glared at the hall in front of him. 'Stupid mudblood!' he thought bitterly 'getting me in trouble, it's not my fault she needs to pay boy to shag her!'

The three students walked into the headmaster's office and stood in the door way awkwardly.

"Do sit down!" They heard Dumbledore call to them merrily as he walked gracefully down the stairs to his seat.

The teenagers sat down, two of them trying to put as much space between them and the third as possible.

"I have just received news that you two gentleman have been fighting in the library, which I find quiet absurd because there is hardly any room in there for that sort of action." Said Dumbledore, eyes twinkling.

"I have also heard that it was over a certain someone." He looked over his half moon glasses at Lilly, His eyes twinkling again.

"Sir, I'm sorry, James and I were just sat in the library studying when M-Lucius and some of his friends came in and decided it would be fun to 'relish', if you will, upon some of the rumors that have been going around."

Lucius smirked as Dumbledore eyed him. "Mr. Malfoy, I do not see what is so very amusing about all of this, the things you can say could be quiet hurtful to a person."

"She's hardly a person! She is after all a mud..."

"Mr. Malfoy! You will not speak of another student in such a vile, disgusting way! Especially in front of me, are we clear?" Dumbledore said, taking on a stern tone.

Malfoy sneered but nodded his head stiffly. "50 points will be taken from Slytherin for your disrespect and 50 points will be taken from Slytherin and Gryffindor for fighting in the library."

Malfoy growled under his breath but nodded stubbornly.

When James and Lilly got back to the common room James grunted and splashed in the cushions of the couch.

Lilly began to walk up to the girl's dorm but James quickly grabbed her wrist. "Lilly, I'm really sorry about what happened in the library today, and I'm sorry if I disgraced you or anything." Lilly put up her hand to silence him.

"Don't James, there is no need for you to apologize, I'm very thankful for what you did today, standing up for me and all, it was very sweet." James smiled as a crimson blush crept it's way across her cheeks.

"Well, we never really got to finish studying did we?" He asked quietly.

Lilly shook her head. "I guess not." She whispered, looking up into his soft brown eyes.

"I'd like to try again some time." He said softly, moving closer to her.

"M-maybe tomorrow we, we could talk." She squeaked as he got even closer to her.

Lilly closed her eyes and waited for what she knew would happen. When James' lips had almost covered hers with his own, he quickly pulled back and cleared his throat.

"Y-yeah tomorrow sounds great." He stuttered and then walked up to the boy's dorm.

Lilly blinked stupidly and wondered what had just happened.
