Chapter 3:
"What the bloody hell just happened, Prongs?" Sirius asked, approaching James after class.
James wasn't listening. He was staring at Lily's back, her long, red hair pouring onto it… and Snape, walking with her. James wore a sour expression. "What is he doing there?" he muttered.
"Hey Lil," Snape said, looking back at James and smiling obnoxiously. He turned away and frowned, remembering the subject of the conversation he overheard a few minutes before. "I heard what happened in Herbology," Snape said, looking down, his face reddening.
"What? Nothing happened, Sev. It was just a minor misunderstanding…" she replied shyly, cheeks now matching her hair.
"I just think that you could do so much better than him," said Snape with disgust. Before Lily could say something back, they heard an outraged voice behind them.
"Wait. By him, you mean me? Is my name so great you can't even say it?" said James, mockingly.
Oh gosh, this is not happening, this is not happening, thought Lily. She knew how much the boys hated each other.
"Not a chance. It's just that your name just disgusts me so much, I can barely say it," Snape replied, face twisting into an arrogant smile.
"Not as much as yours, Snivellus."
"That's it!" said Snape, whipping out his wand, James mirroring his action. But before they could utter a single spell, Lily cast a shielding charm in between them.
"Look, Potter. I don't know what happened in Herbology, but it was nothing, you hear me? Nothing. And I do not recommend you insulting my friends in front of me again," said Lily, whose face, if possible, was redder than her hair.
James held his hands up in mock surrender. "Jeez, Evans. Relax. I'm sorry, ok? Maybe it's the smell of the grease from Snivellus' hair that made you so irrational."
That was the last straw for Lily; she removed her shielding charm and yelled: "Avis!"
Suddenly, a flock of birds flew out and started pecking James' face "Come on, Sev. Let's go," she turned on her heel and started walking away, being followed by Snape, who smiled evilly.
When Lily finished telling her story to Emily, in the Great Hall during dinner, Emily was laughing so hard; she had to take a few breaths in order to calm down. To Emily's surprise, Lily wasn't laughing. On the contrary; she was on a verge of tears.
"What happened? Aren't you happy you did that to him? Don't you think you taught him a lesson?"
Lily sighed. "It's just that… I really thought he has changed, you know? I thought that the acting was over," Lily's voice hitched. "Gosh. I sound like a pathetic girl, don't I?"
"A bit," Said Emily with a smile "Though it might be Potter's beauty, effecting your judgment," she said with a wink. Lily scowled.
"Come on, Lil, I'll sneak you into our common room."
