Ch. 7- Tell me your blue skies fade to grey

The next day Lily woke up terrible. It wasn't until she remembered why that she got really angry.

"POTTER" Lily said angrily.

"What?" Jordan asked.

"Nothing." Lily said.

"Now that you mention it, after you came back last night you never said who found James" Jordan said matter of factly.

"Oh. I found him outside by the lake asleep. And we were walking back to the castle talking, McGonnagal comes out and gives us detention." Lily explained.

"What was he doing out there? Jordan asked.

"How should I know?" Lily snapped. God she can be so dense.

"Whoa calm down Lils. Don't get mad at me, it's not my fault." Jordan told her.

"Sorry. But now I have a weeks worth of detention ALONE with Potter" Lily scolded.

"It's weird. I thought you were starting to like him." Jordan said coming over from her four poster to sit on Lilys bed.

"Key word, WAS. I cant believe I said yes to him." Lily said in disbelief.

"Well come on, let's not talk about this right now. You get changed and then we can go get breakfast." Jordan suggested.

"Alright" Lily agreed.

She quickly changed, grabbed her bag from the ground, and the two girls descended down the staircase leading to the common room. Before they could reach the portrait hole, someone grabbed Lilys arm making her stop. Lily turned around and saw none other than James Potter holding her arm, and of course, standing behind him were Sirius, Peter, and Remus.

"James let go of me. We're going to breakfast" Lily told him.

"Not before I talk to you." James stated.

"Oh really. Says who?" Lily asked cooly.

"Says me" James replied.

"Fine. Talk. You have 5 minutes before I curse you" Lily threatened.

"Aren't you always the one who says it's stupid to curse people for no reason?" James mocked. The three boys laughed.

Lily rolled her eyes, "shut up and talk."

James laughed, "Honey, I don't think it's possible to shut up and talk at the same time." James friends laughed harder.

Lily felt her face redden. "You know what I mean Potter. 3 minutes."

James was silent.

"WELL?" Lily urged. I don't have all day.

James swallowed and began to talk, "I wanted to tell you I feel really badly about landing you in detention."

"And?" Lily snapped.

"And today I was going to talk to McGonnagal and tell her it was my fault." James added.

"How are you going to do that?" Lily pressed.

"By telling her I fell asleep outside and you came looking for me." James finished.

"No offense Einstein, but I don't think that'll work with McGonnagal." Lily said sweetly.

James smiled. "You underestimate me Evans."

Sirius tapped James on the shoulder, "who's Einstein?"

"Some muggle I presume" James answered.

"Hmm," Lily smiled ignoring James and Sirius' stupid conversation,"now if you don't mind," Lily said shoving her arm back hitting James right in the groin, making him release her arm in pain. "We're going to breakfast."

Lily walked towards Jordan, turning back once to look at James wince in pain. She smiled, turned back towards Jordan and together, the two girls stepped out the portrait hole and walked down to the great hall.
