Attempt ten

"Look at her..." Sirius growled pointing at Lily who was at her desk in Transfiguration writing.

"What's wrong with her?" Peter asked.

"She's writing."

"And...?"

"It disgusts me."

Peter, James and even Remus rolled their eyes. All morning Sirius had been critising Lily loudly. He said he didn't particularly enjoy hexing females, it usually lost a him a few points amongst the girls if he did. But he concluded if he spoke loudly about, it'd probably upset her more than hexing her anyway. There was also the small problem of Sirius Black not wanting to admit that Lily Evans could whip his ass in a duel. Her strongest subject was charms, she knew alot of ugly charms,

"It wasn't her, Sirius!" James said again stubbornly.

"Then who did?"

"I-"
"If your so sure, go ask her..."

"Fine then I will!" James rose from his seat and walked over to Lily.

"Hey James," Lily said, not flinching for once when she saw him.

"Hey, I was wondering..." James dropped his voice to a whisper into Lily's ear, "Did you tell anyone, a teacher perhaps how we got to Hogsmeade?"

Lily pulled back so she could see James's face,

"What makes you think I would!"

"I don't...Sirius thought-"

"James, if you don't trust me-"

"I do! It-"

"You wouldn't even need to ask me if you trusted me!"

"Lily, I do! I just wanted to prove to Sirius-"

"That's all you ever do, James Potter! Show off and then when something goes wrong you cover your back! You can shove your secret passage up your ass, I had nothing to do with it! Don't come near me ever again, Potter!" Lily jumped up, grabbed her books then stormed out of the class.

"Evans-!" the teacher began.

"I'm finished for the day!"

Everyone in the class looked at James as he stood there in mild confusion,

"Is she suggesting a restraining order?"

"Potter! Back in your seat immediately!"

Sirius got up and directed James to his seat,

"Prongs, I think your back in square one with Lily..."

"Well at least you know it wasn't Lily," Remus said.

"What? What are you on about! I think she's totally guilty! Did you see the show she just put on! Denying it too much!"

"Sirius Black, you are an impossible man..."

"I've got it!" James suddenly exclaimed.
"Got what?" Peter asked.

"She said, I wasn't allowed to go near her!"

"And...?"

"I'm not going to go near her..."

"It's taken you till now to figure that out! Your slower than I thought you were..."

"No! I have a plan..."

Lily sat in the library trying to concentrate, today didn't really go as planned. She'd yelled at James Potter, who she now liked, (life's twisted and confusing...). Well she think she does...She'd been accused of telling a teacher about the passage they used last night. She could see where James and Sirius was coming from, thinking it was her...There was no way in hell James would say anything and she didn't. There must be someone else who saw them used the passage...After yelling at James, pushing him around all the time, just when he asked if she had told, it made her think he didn't trust her. Doubt he would have her now after that outburst...BUT if she was to catch the culprit-

"Lily?"

Lily looked up to see Remus Lupin, she tempted to tell him to bugger off, but then thought no. No one except Sirius Black deserved that treatment.

"Remus."

Remus smiled in relief, worried I'd blow up at him too, probably thinks he's in the same league as his friends now since him and Becca broke up...Lily thought gloomily as she forced a smile.

"Lily, James is very upset and regrets-"

"Maybe instead of being his slave, you could make him come out here and tell me himself?"

Remus looked temporarily startled,

"You said you didn't want him anywhere near you..."

"I did? Oh. I did."

"Anyway, here. This is from James." He handed her a small box then turned and left. Lily opened the box, hoping what was inside wasn't going to hurt her.

"What?"

Inside was a single muggle walky talky. She turned it on and it crackled loudly, immediatly she tried to switch it off as everyone in the library turned to look at her. Relising the on/off switch was stuck she just held on to the talk button, hoping she could get out of there before-

"Hello Lily."

"Yea...Hi Serverus, I kind of-"

"Lily, I saw you and James last night. I'd have thought you would have known better to go out with someone so...Childish."

"Serverus, I don't know what business it is of yours to tell me what I should and shouldn't do! Your always doing that! Why!"

"Because I-"

Lily's eyes grew round, it clicked,

"YOU!" Several people in the library 'shh-ed'.

"Lily, you know?"

"YOU were the one who told Professor Trible!"

"I did, but that was only because-"

Lily punched him in the large nose,

"You made James doubt how trustworthy I was. Go play with your potions set!"

"You know I prefer the-!"

"I don't care." Lily stomped out the Library, then relising she still had her finger on the talk button. For a moment she stared at it in shock, before taking her finger off. Briefly the walk talky crackled then James spoke,

"Lily?"

"Y-Yes?"

"Was that the sweet sound of Snapeys nose crunching?"

"Yes..."

For a brief moment there was silence,

"I love you Lily Evans!"
