I am a Banana: I've read the between the lines things in some books and other fanfics recently and of course your story (hehehe I LOVE it!) so I wanted to have a crack at it - sorry! If it's any consilation, you did it a lot better than I did...lol And you can have a banana for reviewing...gives you banana enjoy!

Shanzeh: I know, I agree! Poor Lily...I'm soooo mean...) laugh manically Oh! reluctantly hands over sock and block of chocolate... bona betite...or how ever you spell it.

Attempt Two

Lily laughed as Peter Pedigree fell into the lake. She used to feel sorry for him but it being the hundredth time she kind of used to it. Suddenly a shadow came down on her, that could only mean two things...that there was one enormous pelican or Potter was there, (she'd have prefered the pelican).

"Lily! What a surprise your out here!"

"You followed me out here after lunch," Lily said avoiding his gaze.

James blushed,

"No, I didn't..."

"Uh...Yes you did I saw you trying to hide inside the cupboard in the Entrance Hall."

"That wasn't me! That was...Someone else."

"Of course it was Potter. Now excuse me while I go inside."

"B-But...wait!" Potter cried desperately as Lily got up to leave, "I got you a lily!" he thrust a tulip into Lily's hand looking at her pleadingly. For a split second Lily felt her heart melt, he had tried so hard...So what if he couldn't tell the difference between one flower and the next...But then images flashed past her eyes, Potter hanging Snape upside down on numerous occasions, him pushing Peter into the lake, him gloating about his last Quidditch match, him pushing Snape into the lake, him...well pushing everyone into the lake.

"That's a tulip, Potter."

His eyes glazed over in confusion, he put his ear to it as though it was going to tell him it was a tulip,

"It is?"

Lily nodded, before she walked around him and left him with the tulip.

Sirius casually fixed his hair as he draped his arms around Lisa's shoulders, he was about to kiss her when James caught his eye. Usually Sirius would grin cheekily at James, like the cat that has the cream and James would signal congratulations back, but today it was different. James looked let down and only one person could do that...As best friend, Sirius had to go help him - get him pissed on butterbeer. With an annoyed sigh, Sirius pulled back from Lisa,

"Sorry Lisa. Maybe another time..."

Lisa pouted,

"Why?"

"James, he's down. Got to go kick him in the balls - you know bring him back into life."

Lisa nodded understandingly,

"Your so sweet, Sirius Black!" she gave him a peck on the cheek before going to join her friends.

Damn Prongs! Going to kill him...Why! Why couldn't I be ignorant like my family and just ignore him!

Sirius shook his head, who was he kidding? He'd never want to be like them!

James sat down, pulled out a piece of parchment and a quill.

"Started up a woman book, have we Prongs?" Sirius asked smirking as he looked down at him.

"It's a piece of parchment..."

"Sure, it is. That's where you write all about your feelings and other over rated things." Sirius took the paper from James.

Operation Lily

Try...

Casual know-all approach - failed

Buy Lilys - got tulips by mistake - failed

"Oh mate...That's desperately organised..."

James shook his head,

"I know. Any ideas you could add?"

Sirius looked at the list once more and wrote underneath,

Buy Sirius new socks.
