Chp. 5 Overprotective Friends and Dates

"So Lily, what's this I hear about you and that scumbag Lucius? I hear he's been escorting you to classes all week or something. Whatever that means." Gabi said as they sat down to breakfast. Lily giggled.

"Lucius has always liked me. I'm not sure why though, cause all his friends are the ones who harass me about being a you-know what…" Lily explained.

"The opposite of a pureblood? Those slime balls! But why would Malfoy be nice to you?" Gabi asked.

"I have no idea, but I think he's getting ready to ask me out, and I might just say yes," Lily said, taking a bite of egg.

"WHAT? What about James!? Or even that other pig who likes you from Ravenclaw? Both of them are loads better than Malfoy!" Gabi stated, and Lily blushed a deep red. " Good job Lils, I think your face is officially the same color as your hair."

"He's really not all that bad. He's kinda old fashioned, you know? Like, always opening the door for me, carrying my books, saying things like, 'may I escort you to class' and things like that."

"Rubbish. He sounds a bit queer to me." Gabi commented, sipping her orange juice.

"Hello Ladies!" Sirius' voice rang out from the door to the great hall.

"Hey Sirius. And NO Emily's not here. Sorry," Lily said as Sirius, Remus and James sat at the table across from Gabi and Lily.

"Lilykins, you wound me. I was coming over here to spend time with you!" Sirius gasped, placing his hand over his heart.

"Hello Lily," Remus greeted quietly, scooping a spoonful of jam onto his toast.

"Good morning Lily dearest," James said boldly, and Lily rolled her eyes.

"Why's your head in the clouds all the sudden? You were as depressed as a rain cloud coming downstairs." Sirius said.

"Depressed as a rain cloud? Really Black, you must work on your similes." Came a cold voice from behind the three boys.

"What do you want Malfoy?" James asked shortly.

" I was wondering if Lily wanted an escort to her first class." Lucius answered. Sirius snorted into his cereal, and Remus stifled a laugh. James continued to glare at Malfoy.

"Thank you Lucius, but James and I atually need to talk over a few things. Maybe after lunch?" She offered, and he bowed slightly, returning to the Slytherin table.

" He wants to 'escort' you to class?" James asked, still watching Malfoy.

"What's escort mean?" Sirius asked, pouring sugar onto his already sugarified cereal.

"Yes, and he's done it before," Lily answered, not daring to look at James, whose gaze had moved to her face.

"Lily, you can't be friends with him, he's dangerous." James said, staring at her.

"Oh, what, just because we're friends now you get to tell me who I can and can't hang out with? That's not the way it works James!" Lily exclaimed, then stood up, marched straight over to the Slytherin table, and walked off with Malfoy.

"You really could have handled that better mate," Sirius said, watching them leave. James just sighed.

"I'll talk to her for you James, If you want," Remus offered, and James pathetically nodded.

"Yeah, I'll help. We'll talk some sense into her," Gabi assured him. "She likes you James. She just doesn't fully realize it yet."

"So, Lily, seeing as we've been spending so much time together, well, I was wondering if you would do me the honor of joining me for dinner at Hogsmeade this weekend," Lucius asked as they walked to Lily's first class.

"Why, I would love to Lucius! Of course," Lily accepted, although, she had an odd feeling in her stomach...

"Wonderful. I'm guessing you'll want to spend part of the day with your…uhh…'friends', so I guess I'll meet you at The Three Broomsticks at around 6:00."

"That sounds great Lucius, and thank you for asking," Lily said before entering her Charms classroom.

"I've done it. She's meeting me at the Three Broomsticks at 6:00" Malfoy told a passing Slytherin.

"Perfect. Good work Lucius…"

A/N DUM DUM DUM! or however you might spell scary music. What is going to happen next? And who is this mysterious Slytherin who wants to meet Lily at the Three Broomsticks? You'll have to review because I'm not updating again until I get at least 3 more reviews! Heehee, I know, evil. And Yay! it was a bit longer than the other chapters! Kudos to me, even though, I'm not the biggest kudo fan...
