By Luxx

Summary: A week in the life of Lily Evans…

A/N Well, this is a really short one today folks. I was just looking at some reviews I received for the story I uploaded yesterday, Pretend I Said It, and I got a request to update this one… so here it is, short but online.

Summary of day so far: number of lovely snogs with boyfriend: 1 no. of lists written today: 2 (surely not too many as life is quickly becoming complicated thing.) no. of nervous breakdowns: 1 progress made on finding out about the Sirius Black as Werewolf issue: none no. of things that need to be discussed with Sirius Black: becoming frighteningly numerous.

7:35 a.m. My Bed

Mmmm. Is lovely waking up in own bed. All soft and warm.

Mmmm.

Last night was v. good. Came into common room and found James Potter where we promptly had a lovely snog.

Lovely things about James Potter

1. He is v. good kisser

2. Is v. athletic. (double points for this as this makes him both attractive, and healthy)

3. He has absolutely no interest in Jillian Snapson.

4. He has v. interesting personality and therefore will never get bored with him.

5. He listens to my incoherent babble making it seem like he finds me very interesting as well.

6. His hands are nicely shaped.

7. His nose is a tad long, but in that way that gives him that one perfect teeny flaw that makes him all that much more attractive and… GAAH!

7:45 a.m.

Was best friend Becca reading over my shoulder. Suppose previous list is something that I will never live down and will become legend for years to come.

Nosy brat.

Oh God! Am going to be late for transfiguration!

8:30 a.m. Transfiguration

All is well. Made it to class on time. Am first one here in fact showing Head Girl punctuality and responsibility as…

OH NO! Did not finish essay yesterday!

McGonagall will be so angry! Essay was v. important! I will be given detention! My reputation is ruined! Am no longer shining example of Head Girl responsibility! Am… am…. The type of girl that would date James Potter! Am the girl who is dating James Potter!

Must breathe! Breathe!!!!!!

"Merlin Lily, are you alright?"

8:40 a.m.

Was Peter Pettigrew who had entered classroom with Sirius Black.

What followed was v. pathetic and embarrassing I realize looking back. Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew led hyperventilating self to usual seat and began coaching self to breathe as if am woman in labour. At some point it seemed I had managed to explain situation.

Peter Pettigrew seemed to understand.

Black laughed his head off.

Am unable to see how this is so funny. Must admit that however much enjoy transfiguration as it is fascinating subject, am not v. good at it.

Was hoping that by some miracle form and style of essay would make up for lack of ability.

V. rich of Sirius Black to laugh at that as he is inexplicably perfect in the subject. In fact Sirius Black is head of the class, followed by James Potter and Remus Lupin. Cannot understand how dunderheads seem to have taken over class ranking. (Excepting of course Remus Lupin, as he is not dunderhead, but in fact genius - not that I am jealous.)

Perhaps McGonnagall will forget that she set the assignment, just until tomorrow! One day is all that's needed to create something. It doesn't need to be genius at this point, it just needs to be legible.

Am desperate! DESPERATE!

9:40 a.m.

Class had all entered as usual. James Potter came in and took seat between self and Sirius Black. Remus Lupin took seat between Becca and Peter Pettigrew in row ahead, Maira Marsh sat down behind Sirius Black and lesson began.

Now in the last five minutes, and McGonagall has not yet asked for essay! Am saved!!!

9:43 a.m.

Gaaah! Was Maira Marsh reminding professor McGonagall that we had essays to turn in!

HATE Maira Marsh!

9:44 a.m.

McGonagall coming down row by row to collect essays. Must think of something quickly! Could faint!

Oooh she's so close!

9:45 a.m.

Opened eyes and essay was on table in front of self, proclaiming by Lily Evans in top right hand corner as if had been written by self all along!

What is going on! Cannot allow this to happen! This is cheating!

Attempted to snatch parchment away, but McGonagall was too fast! It is now in hands of professor! Who would do this for me? James Potter? No, James Potter has enough difficulty writing essay for himself.

Will be caught and expelled and… Is that Sirius Black being told off by prof. For not having essay?

But he did have an essay! What on Earth is… oh.

10:15 a.m.

Things To Ask/Say To Sirius Black

1. Why on Earth did you give me your essay?

2. Thank you

3. You Moron (may change places with comment #2)

4. How did you become a werewolf? (perhaps should leave that one until the end)

5. How did you get better than me in transfiguration in the first place!

6. Sorry I am being so rude.

7. Where on Earth has James Potter been disappearing to all the time!

Wow, so glad I got that all out. This chapter was really hard to write for some reason. I wish I could have given you all something a little longer, but I've hit a mental roadblock and cannot go on I'm afraid. I'll update asap though, promise.

And now for my reviewers:

Sweet 16 Movie Buff: Well thanks so much, it's good to be loved, and not only loved but also recommended! Sheesh, it's about as much as my poor little writer's heart can stand. As always, thanks for the review and the vote of confidence. BTW, I just picked up the original Brigdet Jones today as I have only ever read the sequel, it's awesome, but the second one is better. Also thanks so much for your review of Pretend I Said It. I was really really worried about how that one would go over because of the tone. I'm glad you liked it.

Moon Burst: Well I'm so very happy to oblige in being your author of choice for indulgence. That Sweet 16 Movie Buff's sure got good taste! Lol just joking, I'm not actually that arrogant, that's Sirius' role. BTW I would love it if you would take a look at my new one-shot Pretend I Said It and give me some feedback. It'll only take about 20 seconds I swear it's that short.

Teenbibliophile12: Well once again, thank you very much for taking the time to tell me you like it! Lily is so rarely seen as clueless that I wanted to make her a little less perfect and a little more real for once. In the same situation, I would have probably thought the same thing she did! Lol. I'm also going to shamelessly advertise my newest one shot fic Pretend I Said It to you. As one of my most valued reviewers, I'd love to get your thoughts on that one.

Thanks All!
