Chapter 5: The Good 'Ol Classics

It won't be that bad? With James Potter, even Turkish Delight was bad and Lily loved Turkish Delight! There was only one way to make sure James Potter didn't screw up her year more than he had already, she was going to ignore James Potter. She was going to deny his very existence.

With that in mind Lily confidently walked down the staircase leading to the Head's Common Room. She walked down to the Great Hall confidently. James Potter…who was he?

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

James woke up and was confused by his unfamiliar surroundings. He felt a sharp sting, his cheek hurt like hell! It all came back to him, he was lying in the Head Boy's room and Lily Evans had slapped him for some unfathomable reason yesterday.

James was mystified by Lily Evans' actions. She infuriated him beyond words and that is why he was going to ignore her.

With that in mind, James got out of his bed and surveyed his room with interest. It was a plush and beautifully furnished room. It reminded him so much of home. It had the same four-poster bed. The walls were, however, a deep crimson, like blood. James shook his head; he was going to be late for breakfast if he didn't hurry.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Lily was sitting quietly at the breakfast table, trying to avoid contact with everyone. Things were not going too well because Sirius had decided that today was a perfect time to bond, save her…

"Lilykins! How are you my delightful apple?"

"Sirius, I'm in no mood to……………"

Sirius stopped listening to Lily babble; a gorgeous blonde girl had diverted his attention. He glanced at her grey eyes, similar to his own, and found that they were getting closer and closer. "Boo?"

A startled Sirius jumped to find Kay Smith looking at him strangely; she glanced behind her, "What you looking at so closely?"

"The knight over there, isn't it extraordinary?"

Kay turned to examine the knight. Sirius was surprised at himself, how had he not noticed the blonde female next to him for over 6 years.

"Sirius that knight's been here since first year, what's so special about it now?"

"Uh the proportion and harmony of the sword and axe," he knew he was talking rubbish but he decided to wing it.

However, before the conversation could get worse he heard a "clang" and turned to find a furious Lily throwing cups at a bewildered James.

"How dare you James Potter!"

"Uh, Lily," James dodged a saucer, "What exactly did I do?"

"You git! Just shut up!"

"But I just sat down next to you!"

"Exactly! Out of all the available seats you chose the one next to me, because you knew that it would annoy me!"

James was now very very confused, because there had been no other open seat when he had come down to breakfast. It wasn't as though he would choose to sit next to Lily Evans.

"Uh Lily,"

"What the fuck do you want now Potter?"

"Ms. Evans! What kind of behavior do you think this is? You are supposed to be a role model for younger students, not encourage them to engage in all that is wrong!"

Lily had never been so embarrassed n her life.

"As for you Mr. Potter, I can't say I didn't expect this from you but I did hope that you would respect the honor this school has bestowed upon you. I am very ashamed with both of you! Follow me."

James and Lily followed a stern McGonagall to her office. For James it had, over the years, become a regular part of his Hogwart's life. Lily, on the other hand, had never been in the Professor's office before.

"Sit down both of you I'll be right back."

Lily was outraged at her actions, especially since he had caused them. She was sure she was going to loose her position as Head Girl, all because of James ruddy Potter. She had worked so hard to achieve this, he had waltzed onto the scene without a care in the world, and he didn't even take his position seriously.

"I hope you two realize the magnitude of what you've done, your positions as Heads of this school are in jeopardy. Professor Dumbledore will decide on that but as your Head of House, you will both be serving one month of detentions."

James glanced at Lily, he knew how much she had wanted, deserved, the position of head Girl and he was not about to be the one to take it away from her. Her eyes were frighteningly sparkly. James realized, to his distress that they were swimming with tears. He felt guilty and he decided that as a good friend he needed to do this. A few more detentions wouldn't hurt his record anyway.

"Professor," James said looking defiant, "Lily didn't do anything. I started it."

Lily looked at him in surprise. "I was looking for a laugh and I poured," he saw an orange stain on her shirt, "pumpkin juice down her shirt."

Lily opened her mouth to protest but James silenced her with a glare.

"That's all very well Mr. Potter, however, Ms. Evans did retaliate in a most inappropriate manner."

"I provoked her too Professor, Lily really didn't do anything. It's all my fault and you shouldn't be punishing her at all."

"Are you sure Mr. Potter?"

"Very Professor… Minnie?" he added unsuccessfully trying to lighten the air.

McGonagall gave him one last glower, "Both of you are free to leave."

Minerva McGonagall left the room in stony silence, leaving behind two very confused teenagers.

"Thank you Potter,"

James glanced at her with a nod, then got up and left the room. Lily was now so very confused.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Lily had refused to speak to her friends the whole day, trying to distance herself from all things James Potter. She was not going to brave another confrontation with him after this mornings encounter.

That did limit her a lot but she solved it easily by staying the library and leaving only when she had lessons. Then came the hurdle. It was dinnertime and she was very hungry, not to mention that she had a very hungry boyfriend. Reluctantly she let him drag her to the Great Hall, her only consolation being that at least she would be at the Hufflepuff table, far away from her friends, the Marauders and most importantly Potter.

She had however doubted James Potter's abilities to peeve her. For as soon as she entered the Great Hall she saw none other than James Potter sitting at the Hufflepuff table happily flirting with his girlfriend. Lily couldn't face him just yet, she wasn't ready for it. She gave Nick an apologetic glance and fled the Great Hall.

Claire, Kay and the Marauders saw this.

Kay turned to her brown haired friend, "Claire w have to help her."

"Hold your horses Smith, I have an idea." Sirius had a mischievous glint in his eyes, "Recently I discovered the spell to climbing up the girls' staircase."

Claire gasped her light brown eyes horrified, whilst Kay and the others looked mildly amused. Claire was very pure in comparison to her friends and found the idea absolutely scandalous!

"Get to the point Black, I have charms club in half an hour."

"Charms club?" It was Sirius' turn to look shocked

"Just get on with it," muttered Kay impatiently

"Well…."

"SIRIUS!" exclaimed the whole table

"As I was saying, I think that if we happen lure both of them into the girls' dormitory and then pull the classic 'lock them both in the room and refuse to let them out till they resolve their differences"

"Oh psht, as though that'll work!"

"Do you have a better idea Smith?"

Kay's shoulders slumped, she didn't. They might as well give it a try then, the situation with Lily and James was being far too intense

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Kay what did you need to show me again?" asked a disgruntled Lily

"My uh… new dress robes!" Kay wanted to slap herself

"Oh, what's the occasion?"

"Uh it's my cousins… bat mitzvah over Christmas break."

"I didn't know you had a Jewish cousin"

"Neither did I, believe me…" muttered Kay

The two of them entered the 7th year girls' dormitories. "Lily I'll be right back," she quickly walked out and there was a click

Lily had a feeling she knew what was going on but wanted to make sure before she hexed her friend into oblivion, "Kay?"

"Trust me Lily, it's for the better."

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Padfoot you better be serious about this charm! I was in the middle of a very important talk with Jessica till you rudely dragged me away."

"More like very important snog"

"Padfoot!"

"Right… subsisto campester cado! Try it Prongs."

James cautiously put one foot on the staircase, then another, and another. "Padfoot you're bloody Merlin!" James climbed the staircase excitedly and opened the door to the seventh year girls' dormitory to find and irate Lily Evans.

"Uh Padfoot," James turned around just in time to hear a click similar to the one Lily had heard only a couple of minutes ago.

"Potter if I find out you had anything to do with…"

"It wasn't him Lily! It was us, as your friends we are tired of listening to you two bicker and refuse to let you out till you sort out your differences."

James glanced at Lily.

Lily glanced at James and sighed.

There was only one way to end this stupid plot - resolve their differences. Or wait… the gears in Lily's brains were turning and suddenly it came to her in a flash of sunlight. She didn't have to make up with James Potter.

She just had to make-up Potter.

Lily smirked, she had to pretend to 'make up' with him and then as soon as her 'friends' opened the door she could leave them all in a tangle of mascara.

James looked scared, he had obviously seen the sly look Lily was giving him.

"James, I'm really sorry about everything I've ever done to you."

"You are?" James was surprised, he had never thought he would see the day when Lily Evans apologized to him. He had already decided that she hated him and was planning his escape through the window.

"Yes, I really am and I would like to be friends with you."

"Friends with me?" Now that was something utterly unimaginable. "But you hate me Lily."

"Oh don't be silly. I think we can be great friends." James was very puzzled, although Lily's voice was very convincing she was still on the other side of the room and had no friendly emotion on her stone face.

After two minutes of silence Lily started laughing and James followed suit, not sure why they were laughing at all.

"James you really give the best hugs."

James stopped laughing, "Huh?" How would she know, she was still on the other side of the room, next to the door.

"Don't be modest Jamie!"

Jamie? So now they were on pet names?

Lily heard the door click open and Kay popped her head into the room. Lily took this as her chance to escape but before she did…

Lily looked at James

She turned.

She slapped him.

She said, "Don't take any of it seriously, oh wait you never do anyway!"

She fled the room and slapped Sirius on the way out too.

Leaving, yet again, a perplexed James to wonder what wrong he had done to have so much pain inflicted upon him.

"Well that went well."

Both James and Kay turned to glare at Sirius.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
