I apologize for this not being as humourous as the last chapter. I tried, but... oh well. Oh, and do enjoy. And review!
And one with Chapter 2

Previously on Gimme Your Life:
Lily suddenly felt someone behind her.
"AHA!" the person cried.
Lily screamed, crashed into the book shelf, knocking it over, and Orenda as well. "POTTER!" she cried.
"My Lily Senses were tingling," he said with a cheeky grin.
At that moment, Lily would give anything to be Orenda.
--
Orenda laughed. "Well, what do you know? He can sense you, Lily."
Lily glared. At both of them.
"Why can't you leave me alone? Both of you! You're always breathing down my neck, monitoring and making lists," here she looked fiercely at Orenda, "of what I do! I just want to live a peaceful life!"
So really, Lily wanted a more exciting life, as said earlier, but neither of them needed to know that at the present.
And then, with one final glare at the two of them, she stormed off to the other side of the library.
"You arse," Orenda said to James. "Now you've gone and made her mad at me!"
"Well, if you hadn't said that thing about my Lily Senses, she wouldn't have blown up!" James said hotly.
Well, well… argh. You great pratཀ" Orenda screeched (quietly of course they are in a library). She went off to find Lily.
"Hey, Orendaཀ Wait, I wanna ask you something," James said, jogging to catch up with her. "What'd Lily mean when she said 'making lists'?"
Orenda grinned. "Penelope and I, well, mostly me, are keeping track of some happenings in Lily's life. Nothing big, except that Lily finds it really annoying." She replied. "Now, shoo! I have a best friend to comfort."

"You found any good books yet, Lil?" Orenda asked later. Now that they had made up, they were searching for spell books for their charms assignment.
"Naw. I can't believe we can't find anything either. This library is full of books!" an aggravated Lily replied.
Orenda sighed and continued searching for the right books.
"Unusual spells… unusual spells… unusual spells…" Lily muttered under her breath. "God-damn-it, Orenda! Why can't we find any books on unusual spells?"
Orenda shrugged, disappointed. She really wanted to get this done and over with so it wasn't hanging over her head when Penelope regaled her tale of what happened with the Ravenclaw boy.
Some time later (about fifteen minutes), Orenda found something that might be of use.
"Lil-leee!" she cried in a singsong voice to her friend, now on the opposite side of the bookshelf. "I think I found something!"
Lily rushed over, almost knocking down another bookshelf. "Finally!"
"Unusual Spells for the Usual Witch by Wendell Coffingsinger," Orenda read. "Sounds good for me!"
They flipped through the book, searching for three unusual spells they could cast I each other.
"Hey, Orenda: 'Palaestrica incolumitatis is a simple to cast, unusual spell. It causes the caster to make the 'victim' do a series of aerial moves safely, and without hesitation.' Sound good, right?"
Orenda nodded with a smile and began copying the information on a piece of parchment.
Soon, they had found another spell (that made the 'victim' hum Mozart tunes whenever someone said 'quill').
"This guy has found some weird spells," Orenda said eventually, looking at one that allowed the caster to make plastic straws to come out of his or her nose.
"No kidding. I mean, who comes up with a spell that makes plastic straws come out of your nose? Who actually wants straws to come out of your nose anyway?" Lily replied.
"Definitely not me," Orenda said.
"Mutabilis invidia," Lily read. "It doesn't say much about what it does... I have to admit that I'm curious though. What about you?"
Orenda looked at the spell her friend had pointed out. "Yeah... Let's try and see if we can find it in some other book. But wait not now! It almost curfew, and we have to get back to the common room!"
And they rushed off, the spell book lain forgotten on the table.
