DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER (SIGH IF ONLY!)

Ok I still can't find my notebook...oh well I think I remember most of it. Well here goes nothing.

Chapter 10: You're fine the way you are.

It has been 2 weeks since James's parents have passed on, and we find Lily sitting in the Common Room and staring at the fire at 2 in the afternoon. Something Lily never did. Suddenly Marina and Atreyu enter.

"Hey," Atreyu started. "You ok?"

"Yeah, of course." Lily said, "Just thinking." (...huh...Hey Looky I found my notebook!...sorry...continue...)

"No suprise there." Marina stated trying her best to sound bored.

"You know thinking's not good for you." Atreyu said in mock concern.

"Ok, make-fun-of-Lily time is over now." Lily sighed.

James came in talking to Sirius and Reamus.

"So, I'll give you undeniable proof. When girls say one thing they mean another, except for about 2 of the time. "Lily, I think you're the most beautiful girl in the world."

"You're a moron." Lily scoffed.

"Me too babe with all my heart." James cooed.

"No offense Jamsie," Sirius started, "but I think that this may be that 2 you were talking about."

"Yeah, right. Lily loves me. She just doesn't know it yet."

James walked over to the boys common room.

"Where are you going?" Reamus asked.

"Bathroom." James stated still walking.

Sirius put a smirk on his face and practically yelled at James; "Just let it out Jamsie!" James lifted his hand to signal that he heard.

Like Sirius expected the Common Room burst into laughter at his joke.

Lily turned to Marina, "If I kill him, will you drive the gettaway car?"

"Yup." The girls suppressed a giggle.


Everyone except Atreyu was sitting in the Great Hall eating dinner.

Suddenly they hear a scream...a very long scream. Nobody looks suprised.

"Atreyu's coming." Lily stated not even looking up from her meal. Just like clockwork Atreyu came running in between the isles with her arms in the air. She had to take another breath to make it all the way to the table though.

Atreyu sat down at the table, and began to eat as if nothing unusual had happened. Well, you can't exactly call it unusual because Atreyu did this every Saturday. Nobody really knows why, not even Atreyu.

The meal continued on as it always did. Talking livened up the table, and food was eaten quickly.

James was sitting beside Lily, who was sitting beside Marina, who was sitting in front of Atreyu, who was talking to Reamus who was sitting by Sirius, who was talking to a girl, who had no interest in what he was saying whatsoever, and was more interested in looking at his eyes...did you get all that...good.

Lily wore a button up shirt above her normal shirt, because it was so unusaully cold in the Great Hall. The only thing wrong with it was a hole just above the shoulder. James kept sticking his finger in the hole, and it was starting to get on Lily's nerves.

"Quit James." She warned.

"Why?" He questioned innocently.

"James! If you don't quit I'll take it off."

"Really?" James said making sure to stretch the word out suggestively.

"That's not what I meant and you know it!" Lily said blushing slightly.

"You know what comes to mind in times like this?" James questioned.

"I don't want to know." Marina sighed.

"A quote from a very wise...person;" James cleared his throat. "No matter which direction you start it's always against the wind coming back."

All the others could do was stare. James had said something intellegent. Sure he was intellegent, but he never acted like it.

"Yeah, I don't know what it means either." James smiled.

The other maurauders laughed. Lily just stared at him, "I knew it was too good to be true."

That got James's attention. "So, you like smart guys who understand thing like that?"

"Uh," Lily didn't know what to say. "No, don't change just to impress me. You're fine the way you are."

"But," James began, "I'm not the guy you want."

"Hey, you're close enough." Lily turned and left the room with Marina and Atreyu who were eccstatic at her statement.


Well unfortunately that's all for this chapter. Rae don't be mad at me. I'll work on it more since I have my notebook back. Just not now...Rae...Rae put down the sushi...NO! NOOOOOO!

"MY SUSHI!"

p.s. I told you I'd put down that part about the hole. For those who don't know I got the hole in the shirt from school this morining.

p.s.s. It's kinda sad that I get most of my ideas from real life.

p.s.s.s. I got Atreyu's character from my friend Rae. Rae bows ...uh yeah. Anyway

See you next chapter.
