A/N: My sincere apoliges for such a late update. I had school, summer school and the death of my father. So, yeah I've been a little busy. Anyway, the song for this chapter is Give Me A Reason by The Corrs. So please read and review.
You left me lonely and confused
Question, questioning you
So soon goodbye you stole my heart
I'm believing you
-Give Me A Reason By The Corrs-
The five of them trooped towards the lower part of the castle. They were heading to the dudgeons, for potions. Now the Gryffindors always had potions with the Slytherins. It should also be noted that Gryffindor and Slytherin students don't get along. Yet they had potions together sometimes for a double period. Lily sometimes wonders what Dumbledore was thinking sometimes. Honestly, putting the Slytherins and Gryffindors together that was trouble in the making. However, you could say Dumbledore had his reasons. After all, he was always going on about interhouse relations. Of course no one was really paying attention. Okay, maybe a few but that was it.
Sirius and James were arguing over some move in quidditch. Lily wasn't really paying attention. Quidditch wasn't that interesting. She didn't understand what the all fuss was about. It was just a game. Not a matter of life and death. Alas, boys never understood that of course. To them quidditch was everything. Quite tragic really.
Lily enters the room and walked over to her desk. She started pulling out the stuff she would need for today's lesson. She could see her friends heading over to bug the Slytherins. Well actually to bother Severus Snape. That was beside the point really. She didn't really see the point in teasing Snape. She actually felt sorry for that guy. Even if he called her that 'disgusting name' as James refer to it as.
Lily stood up and rolled her eyes and began to walk over. Just like every other potion class. Someone had to interfere. Otherwise, they would just bug Snape all day. When would those guys mature? It seemed like never. Maybe next year, she would get lucky.
"Where are you off to my little flower?" Asked a voice behind Lily, surprising her slightly. Lily had almost jumped since; she had not been expecting it.
She turned around and before looking at the person she replied, "your little flower?" She said in distaste. Hey, just because her name was named after a flower, didn't meet people could call her one. She looked up into a pair of cold familiar eyes. "I should have guessed it was you. Only you can be this annoying." Lily replied sharply glaring at her classmate. Lucius shot her a wounded look. "I'm hurt Lily." He replied to the red head girl.
Her eyes narrowed, "what right do you have to called me by my first name? You are not my friend or someone I know very well, so back off Malfoy." She replied with a bit of anger in her voice. Lucius smiled. Well it was really a smirk but that's beside the point. "Lily, my dear Lily but I know you very well." Lucius replied in that silky tone. Before Lily could reply, the teacher walked in and started to screech at them.
"Alright all of you sit down and start doing your work. I expect to see the results at the end of class. Well what are you waiting for, start already!" The professor screeched. The students began to work grumbling while doing so.
Lily began to start working on her potion. Her partner wasn't going to be much help. She actually prefers it that way. Sirius Black wasn't very talented when it came to potions. Lily was much more talented at potions. She didn't mind the subject but the teacher left much to be desired.
Lily was lucky enough to be left alone during potions. She needed to concentrate on making this potion. She didn't need to concern herself with Lucius Malfoy. It looked like he was working. Thank goodness. Malfoy seemed to be a puzzle. A hard one to solve at that. Everything he told her always sounded like a puzzle to be solved. Lily hated puzzles. On some level, Lucius knew this. He knew what he was doing. He was just doing it to get under Lily's skin. Lily hated guys like that.
Potions finally ended and Lily was content. She had gotten a B on her potion. She got a lot of B's in that class. Sirius was of course talking as they headed towards charms. Sirius was always talking, so it wasn't too surprising. Peter listened very carefully, hanging on to Sirius' every word. Remus and Lily shared a smile. James had told them to run ahead, he had something that he had to do. Lily had offered to wait but James told her not to worry about him.
James was in the hallway of the dudgeons and he was glaring at the person he was talking too. He had his arms crossed and was shooting Malfoy a dark look.
"Look Malfoy. Just leave her alone. I don't know why you're talking to her but, I want you to leave Lily alone from now on." James said forcefully.
Lucius appeared not to be in a listening mood. "I'll do what I like. Last time I checked you weren't Evans' bodyguard." Lucius replied in a silky tone.
James frowned at Lucius statement. "Well maybe I should. She doesn't need jerks like you bothering her." James replied. "I won't hesitant to hex you or whatever it takes for you to leave Lily alone." James finished before giving one last glare in Malfoy's direction before walking off. Lucius watched him walk away giving James a glare in return.
James arrived in the Charms' classroom; he quickly took his seat beside Lily. He stole a quick look at Lily. He smiled lightly before turning his attention to the Charms professor.
Lily smiled lightly after leaving the classroom. Charms had always been her subject. The professor had been teaching them a charm that could be used to protect a loved one. The charm was extremely complex and Lily always loved a challenge.
Lily entered the Great Hall. It was lunchtime and she was quite hungry. Lily sat in the same seat between James and Sirius. Sirius wasn't present. Strange. Sirius late for lunch was something that never happened. Remus looked as surprised as I did. We both turned to James, who was putting a book in his bag.
Lily tapped James on the shoulder. James looked at Lily confused.
"What is it Lily?" James asked.
"Where's Sirius?" Lily replied.
James frowned, "I knew it was too quiet." He replied to Lily's question, causing Lily to slightly giggle.
Lily glanced over at Remus, who like many of the other students was watching Professor Dumbledore. It seemed that he had something to announce. Odd. Professor Dumbledore never announced anything at lunchtime.
Professor Dumbledore smiled and then told everyone about a dance that would be happening. Lily smiled slightly, a dance now that sounded interesting. Professor Dumbledore also said that it was ladies choice.
Now that surprised Lily. It was quite rare to have only the ladies asking for dates to the dance. However it was a nice twist. Which left Lily with two problems. Two big problems. Whatever was she going to wear? What color and what style? So many decision. Also who to ask? Decisions, decisions.
Lily glanced over at James, who was too busy glaring at the Slytherin table to notice her. He was staring at the place where Lucius sat. What was with that? Supposedly they had an argument in the hallway before Charms. If you believe the gossip mill. Was that why he sent her off before going to Charms. Now Lily was really confused?
James? Lucius? Who should she go with? Lily sighed; it was going to be a hard decision to make. The outcome could affect her all life! Okay not really, but Lily was a fifthteen year-old girl. These kinds of decisions were more important than grades!
Lily ears perked up at hearing the doors to the Great Hall opened. Through the open doors came Sirius. She found herself oddly disappointed.
