"What did you do Prongs?" he asked in an awed voice.

"I didn't do anything Padfoot I swear! She just dropped you saw it!" he replied.

"Mate. It's just that when we got into the trouble making business we agreed we'd never ever hurt a girl, or a fellow Gryfindor. You my friend, you just broke both rules. Now I will state the other rule we have. The only other rule we have is that we are truthful to each other. If to no one else, then to each other. Mate are you possibly breaking all three rules?"

"Padfoot do you think I would hurt a girl or a fellow Gryfindor?"

"I dunno mate you were pretty angry."

"Why was I angry Padfoot?"

"Cause the chick kicked me in the you know where!" he yelled.

"Don't yell at me! Anyway if it had been me and I'd done nothing wrong I'd expect you to come and yell at her too!" he yelled back.

"I did do something you idiot! I whispered some stuff in her ear! Then you went and got all angry and cursed her!"

"I DIDN'T FRIGGING CURSE HER!"

"OUGH!" shouted Remus, "if any of us should be angry its me." He'd said it so calmly and the boys didn't understand.

They just looked at him in a puzzled way.

"First of all, Padfoot, you are rude to one of my closest friends. Secondly you are rude to my girlfriend's best friend. Then you, Prongs, you make one of my closest friends faint. Secondly you make my girlfriends best friend faint," he paused and looked at the two 14 year olds who were still staring at each other with mallice in their eyes, "Sirius, James didn't curse her, she fainted. James whatever Sirius said I'm sure he didn't mean for her to take it that way." He laughed, "unless of course he likes being kicked in the groin!"

They all laughed, but stopped as Peter's laugh became so high, squeaky and annoying they had to stop.

The boys spent the rest of the trip discussing Quiditch and other meaningless thing that boys discuss.

Meanwhile in a few compartments down Lily was explaining to Harriet why she'd been so touchy about James' tirade.

"I dunno it just reminded me of Petunia that's all. It's silly. I mean," and she started to cry, "they're all right aren't they. I mean I am a freak. Look at me. I don't fit in anywhere. I don't fit in with muggles because I'm a witch and I don't fit in with withches and wizards because I'm a nerd and a – a – a- MUDBLOOD!" with that she burst into tears.

"No honey. Don't be silly. You're right about one thing. You don't belong in the Muggle world you belong here with me. You are a witch for a reason. Is it your fault you're the smartest witch around. No. Is it your fault prats like James Potter can't see past your exterior and see the wonderful Lily Evans I have come to love. No."

Lily stopped crying. "Don't call James a prat."

Harriet laughed, "That's the Lily I know and love! Come on lets get changed, we're almost at Hogsmeade."

"Hey James! How's it hangin?"

"What's up Sirius?"

"James you never owled me after our last date. What happened?"

"Run Padfoot, Jane Login has found me."

James went to run away but it was to late. Jane had got him.

"James? Where are you going? Why didn't you owl me? I haven't heard from you since that night in the Arithmacy Room."

James wasn't listening he was trying to think up an excuse. Why couldn't he just break up with her. He hated to see girls cry and he couldn't cause any girl, not even Jane, to cry. He had a sudden brainwave.

"I'm sorry Jane. I'm seeing someone else."

It was an ingenious plan.

"Who?"

Crap! He hadn't thought this far ahead. Then he saw flaming red hair passing him.

"Lily Evans!" he said a bit to loudly.

"What?" Lily turned to see James talking to some girl. If she was apart of this conversation, surely she could join it.

"Lily Evans? No seriously James who are you seeing?"

"I am going out with Lily Evans, what's so hard to believe?"

"Uh hello maybe the fact that she is the biggest nerd in the whole entire world and you – well you are the spunkiest boy in fourth grade. It's a joke! It's a scandal! It's wrong!"

Lily saw the girl screaming at James and decided that maybe she shouldn't involve herself, when James spotted her and made his way ten metres across the road and started walking next to Lily. She was about to question him when he stepped in front of her and with a pleading look in his eyes whispered, "please play along. I'm begging you please play along."

Without thinking she nodded. He stood back beside her and walked. After a few moments he draped his arm around her waist and lowered his hand to her left butt cheek. She stiffened and looked over at him. He looked back and mouthed, "PLEASE?"

She looked forward and tried to remember her primary school drama class in which she had received all A's. She imagined she was beautiful and popular, she was James Potter's girlfriend.

Suddenly James saw Lily's face relax, she put her arm around his wait and smiled at him. James looked startled for a moment until she winked at him. He smiled and walked into the Great Hall. Leaving behind a very puzzled Jane.

They sat down next to a very mystified group of Marauders and Harriet. James saw Jane wander in later still watching them like a hawk. She sat down at the Ravenclaw table and continued to watch them. Lily, also seeing this reached for James' hand under the table and put his under hers on the table where everyone could see. Jane's eyes opened in shock, but she was not the only one this time. This openly displayed affection was whispered about all through the feast.

James wasn't pleased. This was meant to get him off the hook with Jane, not every single girl in the school. In James' opinion Lily was a little to good at acting. Maybe she thought he liked her. Now he was having doubts. She was a nerd. What would this do to his reputation. He looked over at Sirius, a smirk on his lips. He didn't think he would actually go out with her did he? This was turning into a nightmare.

They got up after dinner and Lily was still holding his hand. By the time they had got to the common room James had a plan in mind.

"So are you going to tell me what's going on?"

"What's to tell?" he asked innocently, drawing her to him, "I realised on the train what a prat I am and that I really like you."

Lily was stunned this is not what she'd been expecting.

"What about the Ravenclaw girl? Why were you asking me to play along?"

"I was telling her to back off because I was into you and not her.I didn't have the guts to ask you straight out!"

"Really?"

"Really!"

"James you have no idea how long I have waited for this day. Since our first day I fancied you but I never thought – you wait till I tell Hettie! She's going to be so – "

"NO!" James yelled, "you can't tell Hettie. I um I – I - I want to err- "

"I understand James. If I were you I wouldn't want my friends knowing about me either."

"No it's not that it's just that –"

"James it's alright. I'd better get to bed classes are tomorrow. Goodnight."

She kissed him on the cheek blushed and ran up the stairs.

James felt awful. But the show must go on. James sat and thought about his plan again. It didn't make sense to him now. It sounded horrible and cruel. But if she told Harriet, Harriet would tell Mooney, Moony would in turn tell Padfott! What a nightmare! He decided to write it down. His father had told him that when he was working with confusing criminals he'd write down what he was going to do. He said seeing it on paper made it make more sense.

My Lily Evans Plan

CODE: Flower Plan

Make Lily think I like her. Make obvious to Hogwarts as a whole (excluding: Hettie, Mooney, Padfoot and Wormtail) that we are a couple. Then, when whole school (excluding those mentioned above) are aware of the situation I publicly break up with her showing all the female population I am single and available once more.

Day 1-3

Make Lily think I like her.

Day 4-6

Make whole school believe I like her.

Day 7

Around breakfast or dinner, publicly ditch her.

The plan is brilliant! IT WILL SUCCEED!

James memorised the 'FLOWER PLAN' and threw it in the fire. He made his way to bed dreaming about all the girls who would flock to his side once seeing he was single again.
