"Alice! Wake up!"

"No Rose, five more minutes..."

"We only have 30 minutes before classes start."

That made Alice swing out of her bed in a second.

"30 minutes! You promised to wake me in time so I could shower!" Alice shouted while she was throwing clothes around her searching for her uniform.

"Well, suck it up, I wanted to speak with you with out Lils around." Rosanna said calmly and started to apply mascara.

"Why didn't you just wait for muggel studies?" Alice asked annoyed.

"Hmm, I didn't think of that..."

"You didn't think of that? That's just great, thanks a lot."

"Stop being so grumpy, it's important!"

"Fine, what do you want?"

"Lily have a date..."

"With James?" Alice suddenly lit up.

"No. With Marcus Jonas." It was clear in her voice that Rosanna would have preferred the first.

"What? But you said... Lils and James..."

"I was wrong, okay?"

"Why did you tell me this now instead of letting Lily tell me herself?"

"Because I don't like it and I wanted someone to complain with."

"YOU LET ME OVERSLEEP JUST SO YOU COULD COMPLAIN!?" Alice was a small girl, but the size of her lungs was not to be over looked.

"Hey guys, you are really late, we start in 10 minutes. I though you were up and was going to wake Allie, Rose. What happened?" Lily asked at the breakfast table when her friends finally arrived.

"Oh our clumsy little Alice got caught in the staircase on the second floor." Rosanna lied smoothly.

Alice looked like she was about to protest, but Lily started to speak before she could say anything.

"Okay, I really wanted to speak with you Alice, but you got in so late last night I didn't have time." Lily was clearly excited. "I'm going to hogsmead with Marcus Jonas this weekend!"

"Oh are you, I had no idea." Alice was a awful liar.

"You told her?" Lily asked Rosanna, disappointment clear in her voice.

"She was stuck in that staircase for, like, 20 minutes, I wanted to cheer her up!" Rosanna was on the other hand a very good liar.

"Okay than, but what do you think Allie?" Lily asked.

"It's great Lily, really." It wasn't all that convincing but Lily didn't pay much attention.

"Thanks, I'm actually really excited about it." Lily said beaming at her friends.

"Excited about what?" James sat down next to Alice.

"Nothing." Lily replied a little to quickly. It wasn't a secret really but somehow it wouldn't feel right telling James about it.

"Come on, you can tell me." James pressed on.

"Okay, I'm kinda going to hogsmead with Marcus Jonas." Lily hated the way her voice turned up at the end, like she was asking permission from James.

"Oh." Was all James said.

"Yeah..." Lily replied awkwardly.

"We should get to class, come on" Alice tried to fix the situation.

"Okay sure." Lily stood up and walked away but when she turned her face she could she James with a stunned and somewhat hurt expression on his face, and Lily could feel a stupid lump in the pit of her stomach.

That's stupid, she though to herself, I have nothing to feel guilty about and what do I care if I hurt James Potter's ego a little, he deserved it.

But something in her didn't totally agree.
