Lilly Evans walked towards the greenhouses with her best friend Amity, the two girls made a lovely sight against the winter surroundings, the snow at least a foot deep on the ground. Lilly had auburn hair and the eyes the greenest green possible. Her friend had black hair, but piercing blue eyes and pale translucent skin. Both girls were beautiful but affected not to notice the many boys who eyed them off as the walked. " The thing that annoys me about Potter." Lilly said as they walked " Is that he just impinges on to be the biggest git possible, I mean he doesn't care, it's like he's an animal- but most animals have better manors!"

Lilly and Amity laughed momentarily before being interrupted. "Come on Evans you used to have a huge crush on me in first year- No don't deny it- big git and animal or not you liked me!" James Potter and his friends the "marauders" appeared behind the two girls sniggering.

Lilly affected to ignore him, continuing to talk to her friend. "And that pathetic gang of his I mean seriously Amity, those girls who like Potter and that awful Black…" James Potter butted in again. " Like them because of their impeccable wit and fabulously good looks." The four boys sniggered and the one called Sirius Black high fived James. "You wish!" Lilly spat at him shooting him a look of pure venom and malice. "Aw, come on Evans- that stings!" said James staging mock sadness. "You are an utterly pathetic little freak. Get a life Potter! You think you're so good- that band of snotty weird try hards following you around," She gestured at Peter Petigrew, Remus Lupin and Sirius Black, James's fellow marauders standing behind him. "But the rest of us just find you pathetic!" She stormed off without another look at the four boys dragging Amity behind her.

"What is it with that girl" Said James looking wounded "I mean she's gorgeous and really clever but that temper!" He finished shaking his head. "I'd say she's not that fond of you, mate" Sirius said " She's nice to most people, her best friend is Amity Morris, she's lovely and she really likes Lily Evans." Sirius finished. "Great, so she just hates me!" Said James "Why though? Everybody likes me- well except the people like Snivilus and fellow Slitherins." He said as an after thought.

"Lil, why do you hate James so much?" said Amity to her friend as they sat down in the greenhouse for Herbology. "He's really cute and he totally likes you."

" Because Ami, he is a conceited idiot who likes himself far too much." Two benches behind James heard this but decided not to say anything- he just listened.

"But he's really hot and clever and he has a monster crush on you-," continued Amity

"You don't get it do you Amity?" Lily said exasperated.

" But what about Sirius Black he's hot and smart and lovely" said Amity boldly, " Do you like Black?"

" Is that what this is about Amity?" said Lilly, bemused.

Amity looked flustered as she replied, "Well, sort of, maybe." Two benches behind James inwardly laughed. Sirius liked Amity too.

"Amity! That's really… cute!" Lily said. She really thought that cocky Sirius Black was nearly as bad as Potter, just because Black was a Griffindore and not a Slytherin like the rest of his family he thought he was oh so cool. WRONG. Black might have been good looking but he was cocky. Two benches behind James were thinking "Bloody hell I am going to KILL Sirius if Lily likes him!"
