Lily grimaced and turned to be greeted by the much-too-familiar face of James Potter.

He looked a bit sheepish and said "Sorry Evans. I didn't realize I'd bugged you to the edge of the Earth already." He stretched his hand out. "Will you forgive me, Lily?"

He looked so dejected and sorrowful, she almost raised her hand to clasp his when she heard a hardly suppressed giggle. She whirled around just in time to see Franklin Abbot, Peter Scotts, Jenn Trailrem and a dozen others before they pulled up the Invisibility Cloak like a curtain once more.

She knew she shouldn't, but she felt tears threaten to well up in her eyes. She turned quickly back to the "anxious" "sorrowful" Potter and reached calmly into her robes. James began to break into a sweat as she toyed with her "Zapping Stick" (as her sister called it).

"E…Evans…" Potter gulped audibly. "Wh..What do you plan on doin' with that?"

"Well Potter," Lily replied calmly, even with a smile showing all her teeth "I was trying to decide whether or not you need both arms for Quidditch." Potter paled. Heartened, she continued "I was also wondering that if I plunged this through your head, it would come out clean when I pulled it out." Potter chuckled weakly.

She stared at him coldly.

He cleared his throat "Unfortunately Evans, those are Advanced Magics which we have not learned yet." He plastered an annoying triumphant smirk on his face. She just needed to wipe it off.

"You mean Magics that YOU haven't learned yet you mean," she said, a harsh quiet blow.

Potter was defiantly scared out of his big inflated head now.

She flourished her wand dramatically as a shape hurled down the corridor and collided solidly with James. Her hand fell to her side as she gaped at the pile of entangled robes and limbs.

Finally, of all people, SEVERUS SNAPE stood from his entanglement, dusting off his dirty robes as if it would actually make a difference. He turned, saw the gaping Lily, blushed and grinned somewhat sheepishly and apologetically.

He knew that she would'nt speak until he told her what was going on (he knew her long enough to know THAT). He cleared his throat and said almost inaudibly "I…I saw Potter threatening you…I did'nt want you to get hurt." He grinned, asking nonverbally for her apology. His answer was a cold stare.

"Sev," Lily glared, "I almost gave you a broccoli instead of a behind. NEVER interfere with my problems, NEVER attack someone for me and NEVER think you're my rescuer EVER AGAIN!"

With each "NEVER" Severus seemed to shrink more and more into the ground.



Lily turned on her heel and left the viewers: 17 people behind a cloak, 1 boy blushing and staring at his feet, and 1 boy laying on the floor, his head propped up by his arm staring after her in admiration and surprise.

Does she, LILY, like me?

No. she could never.

She yelled at Sever-Snape for tackling me, he argued against himself.

So? She was righting a wrong…it's her personality.

The Potter sighed And she doesn't even know that's what makes her so irresistible.

"Ay, Prongsy! You got a weird wistfull-ly look on your face…" Sirius gasped utterly taken aback. He knew the ONE thing that could get THAT look on James Potter's face. "You did'nt smack Snape and Lucious with Peter WITHOUT me, did you?" he wailed.

James jumped up and already had his wand in his hands before properly seeing Sirius tear-striped face.

"Wha? No."

sniff "Really?"

James was a little scared at this behavior but said "I could never strike a Three-In-One without YOU." James became thoughtful, closing his eyes and stroking an imaginary beard "Or maybe I could…The real guy I need is Wormtail anyway…"

He waited for the laughter, and when it didn't come he opened his eyes and saw Sirius on the floor.

WIMP.

"Levicorpus." James put out the fire and put Sirius in the chimney. He returned to his own bed.

She does like me right?

In your dreams man!

Yeah…every night, but she did…
