The next day students were making fun of Lily all day. She just wanted to end things with Severus. But she could never bring herself to do it she sat in the Gryffindor common room with her transfiguration book in her lap. She was writing an essay on the Sinagunes spell, which allowed one to change an inanimate object into a living thing, one of the most difficult things to do in transfiguration. A couple of girls sniggered at her as they passed by her. She saw James sitting in a corner of the room with Remus and Peter. Sirius was in detention. Remus was helping Peter with his defense against the dark arts while James watched, however his mind seemed as if it wasn't with them. Lily had liked Remus a lot. He was one of her best friends. They really didn't get to know each other until they became prefects, as he was very shy. Lily wanted to tell him about his problems, but he practically worshiped James and she was sure he would tell him.
Lily inconspicuously crept closer to the boys. "Your so amazing," Peter squeaked to James. "Getting a seventh year to go out with you."
"Peter focus on your work," Remus said. James brow furrowed.
"Don't be such a wand in the mud," said James. Lily let herself be seen by them so she could thank James for supporting her in the café. When she came close to them instead of James's frown loosening it tightened. Lily opened her mouth to say thank him but only carbon dioxide came out. James brow finally caressed.
"Sup Lily?" he said calmly. Lily was taken aback. His eyes no longer said 'I'm better then you' as they normally did.
"You know we have to decorate for Christmas soon," Remus said absently, busy checking Peters work.
"Right, can't wait to walk all two-hundred and some floors of Hogwarts hanging mistletoe around," She said cynically. Remus looked up and smiled.
"Aren't you glad you're not a prefect now?" James asked Peter. "I sure am." Lily was surprised by how calm he was acting.
"Easy for you to say. I'm surprised your not. You perfect. Good at school, good at Quidditch, and everyone likes you. You even get seventh years to go out with you.
"But he also gets them to dump him to," said Sirius who had just walked into the common room. "Sup red riding hood?" he said to Lily.
"Hello," she said cheerfully.
"How come your back so soon?" James asked. You were supposed to be in there for three hours."
"Oh common, don't be so thick James. I just used a spell to make the clock move faster and Professor Dikles was o busy to really realize or care." He let out a heavy sigh. "Sometimes I really don't think we get punished enough for what we do."
"What do you mean that his girl friend dumped him?" Lily asked.
"His girlfriend dumped him because he got all crazy when you and Snape were on your date. His girlfriend called you a loser and he told him to take it back. She refused to so James got pissed at her. She said that if James loved you so much then she should be your girlfriend." Sirius answered. "So really it's your fault that his girlfriend dumped him Evans. You should say sorry, maybe send him a card with chocolates."
"Aw, she doesn't have to do that. She knows that a kiss would make me all better. But I can't do that Eskimo stuff like Snape, sorry." Lily, to her surprise smiled at James's comment. "Can I ask you a question Evans?"
"You may ask Lily a question," Lily replied.
"Okay Lily," he said faking begrudgedness. "Why are you going out with Snape? I f you don't want to answer I understand."
"I-I don't really want to talk about it," Lily said.
"'Kay Evans, Lily." The group talked for hours. Finally after it was well passed eleven the kid decided to go to bed. Lily had never had a conversation with James like this. She really enjoyed it. She made her decision; she was going to dump Snape.
Thank you so much for the reviews! I would be happy to take ideas and I would probably take all of the ideas people gave me!
