I am now addressing my, all of, three reviews:

DarthRoden: Thanks Man! I totally looked over your HP story and it is CRAZY GOOD! Real complicated and the like. I think you and your friends did a really good job. It's totally mind blowing and the imagery is insane! Thanks a bunch for the good review.

Lilybookworm: I updated… four times. What now?

Wrongful V.: You rock socks! Hope your reading this and hope to see you at school tomorrow. Good luck on finals!

Lily POV:

Although Lily didn't realize it, the past couple weeks had gone by wonderfully. Everything was fine academic wise- but the fact that she had, not only someone, but a group of people to talk to, made it all that much better. She found it amazing all of the small things she had in common with James. He had read the same books in his lifetime, enjoyed the same subjects as her, and, most importantly, he shared her want to become an auror after their time in Hogwarts. Everything seemed to be going fine until one morning at breakfast…

"Has anyone heard of a Hubert Hume?" Asked Jessica holding up a Daily Prophet. The group that now referred to themselves as The Maurders were helping themselves to scrambled eggs and bacon, while Lily, Jessica and Alice were going through the mail.

"Didn't he own that ice cream parlor in Diagon Alley?" asked Peter. "Or maybe it was the show repair shop…"

"Who ever he was, he's dead. As well as a whole other group of people. " Said Jessica. She read a bit of the article that said his and many other deaths were thought to be the work of a dark wizard. "It was known to be his work from the insignia he left in the sky afterward." She said.

"That's awful!' replied Lily. James seemed to be the only one unaltered by the bad news. He seemed to be focused on something else across the way. Lily turned to see a tall Slytherin boy enjoying his breakfast alone directly on the other side of the table next to theirs.

"Snivellus." Said Sirius.

"Is that really his name?" Alice asked. "Poor boy."

Lily asked to borrow Jessica's Phrophet and went on reading about the deaths while the rest of the group ate and James and Sirius whispered to each other. The next thing you know, the two boys were trying to stifle laughs while pointing to the Syltherin boy at the other table. The stringy haired boy was tempting to eat his toast, yet was held back because his eggs were jumping from his plate into his face.

"James, stop that!" She was ignored. Jessica and Alice caught on too, and tried their best to stifle their laughs as well. The boy tried to flick away the attacking eggs and continue with his toast but the eggs wouldn't rest. Lily heard James whisper the spell again and more eggs lifted off the plate and into the boys face.

"James, cut it out! I'm serious!" She hissed.

"Calm down, prefect!" Sirius replied, "It's only Snape." It seemed as if James was ignoring her completely.

"James, that's mean! Cut it out!" She kicked him under the table.

The boy named Snape was now less interested in the toast, and more interested in whoever was hexing his food. Although, it proved difficult, considering the attacking eggs were blocking his view. James murmured another spell under his breath and the dark haired boys cup lifted, hovered for a moment and then tipped upside down in his lap. The group exploded with laughter as Snape stood up in surprise and tipped over the plate of bacon in the process. As it occurred to James the laughter gave them away he stood and held up his wand. " Enjoying your meal, Snivellus?"

He stood as well. "I usually enjoy my meals better when it is in my mouth, not on my face." He had a sharp, quiet voice.

Lily felt uncomfortable. No longer safe. Oh, please just sit down, she thought. James suddenly looked as Lily saw him in the years before, as she had seen him in Hobbs class on the first day. A stranger to her, tall and overly confident. Intimidating. She didn't know him anymore. Please just shut up. Shut up shut up shut up…She was panicking.

" Your lucky we are in the Main Hall, otherwise I would hex your brain out!" cried James.

"I'm terrified, really." Said the Snape boy sarcastically. He flicked a piece of egg out of his hair.

James cast a spell that, thankfully, hit the jug of pumpkin juice instead of his human target. Snape fired a spell nearly right afterward that made James' hair stand straight up, then another that missed and hit the plate of bacon directly in front of Lily. It was all happening so fast and Lily didn't like any of it, unlike Alice and Jessica who found James new hair somewhat amusing. It was clear both of the boys were completely frustrated and were flying spells right and left.

"Sectu-" Cried Snape,

"Expellerimus!" Snape's wand jumped out of his hand, flipped in the air and landed in the egg bowl.

James face turned unrecognizable. A huge grin had spread and Lily was perceiving him in a whole new way. "Rict-"

But he was interrupted by another spell- "Expellerimus!"

It was Lily.

Snape took the moment of James without his wand and the rest of the group in confusion to his advantage. "Rictusempra!"

James was taken off his feet and landed just before the Hufflepuff table, disturbing a group of kids and nearly tipping over the bench they sat on. Sirius and Peter ran over to help him up. Lily stood paralyzed exactly how she was- wand in hand, wide- eyed pointed where James had been standing.

"I think that's enough for now." Snape said portraying a giant sized smile on his egg- covered face. He made his way down to the doorway.

James hadn't moved from the floor. He was just staring at her in confusion, until she couldn't take it any more and ran off.
