Lily

"Sorry we're late professor." A smug looking James Potter grinned as he entered the dungeons, followed by a disheveled and grinning Alecia. I gritted my teeth angrily, looking back at Professor Slughorn. No way would Slughorn let them get away with this.

"Sit down you two. Ah young love, those were the days..." The overweight Slughorn announced. The whole room let out a relieved breath as I stared open-mouthed at my insane professor.

"Twenty minutes late and they get away with it? Are you freekin' kidding me?!" I wanted to scream, but instead I bit my tongue and stayed silent.

"Hey Lily!" Alecia beamed at me through smudged lips. I bit down harder and forced myself to smile.

"Hi Alecia." I managed to say without stabbing her, I glanced over at James and found him already smirking at me. I had no idea what was going on, but I intended to fight back in whatever game this was.

I waited until Slughorn had left the room before going over to where Sirius and James were working.

"Hey Sirius..." I purred in his ear, pressing myself against him. He turned and grinned as he realised it was me.

"Lily..." He grinned in a husky voice. I licked my lips and let him wind an arm around my back.

"What are you doing tonight?" He whispered in my ear, laying a kiss on my neck. A moan of pleasure escaped my lips as he continued to kiss my neck, moving up to where he had kissed that day in he library.

"I'm not doing anything, why?" I asked innocently, pretending that I didn't know he wanted to meet up.

"No reason..." He grinned, pulling me closer to him still. I glanced over his shoulder to see that James was stabbing at an Alkava leaf (my favourite plant) with a stern expression.

"So James, you met Lily yet?" Sirius asked, turning to the person I had just been looking at.

James' head snapped up in shock. My eyes widened slightly, but I tried to look calm, as if this didn't affect me in any way.

"I believe I have." James said through what seemed like gritted teeth. I grinned inwardly.

"I'll talk to you later Sirius..." And with that I returned to my seat to find that Alecia Spinster (Did I say spinster? I meant Spence. My mistake...) had been looking at me the whole time.

"Are you going out with Sirius?" She asked me with a shocked expression. I looked at her, wow she was quick sometimes.

"Yeah I am." I smiled, turning back to the cauldron and continuing to stir the potion carefully.

"Aww That is so sweet! Me and James are going out again, although I'm sure you've heard already. We should so double date!" She beamed, patting my shoulder as if she felt sorry for me since I wasn't going out with the most popular guy like she was.

I gritted my teeth and smiled at her before going back to the potion once more.

I glanced up to find that Sirius was looking at me with a grin, I sent him a smile and bit my lip slightly before looking away, not forgetting to glance at James to make sure he had seen. From his stony expression I was pretty sure he had...

James

"Here are your essays back. The highest scores belonging to Miss Lily Evans and Mr Remus Lupin, exact scores. Closely followed by Mr James Potter." Professor Slughorn announced near the end of triple potions. I looked up with a triumphant smile as my essay was handed back to me. I glanced at the mark before reading through it, having completely forgotten what I had written. As I continued to read I began to realise that most of the words on the page made absolutely no sense to me.

"What's wrong with you?" Remus asked me as he saw my stunned expression. Now was the moment that I should admit this wasn't my essay. That this wasn't what I had written.

"Nothing, I'm still getting over the fact that I'm so smart." I said with a smile, deciding that the moment could wait for a while until after I kept getting such praise.

I glanced round to see the two girls that I had been looking for. Alecia sent me a wink as she grinned, but on the other hand, Lily had her arms folded and was looking at me with a raised eyebrow.

I ignored her frosty stare and turned back to Sirius who was standing beside me.

"Nice one mate," He sighed in congratulations, before turning back to our green potion.

"Is it supposed to be bubbling?" He continued, turning to Remus who stood behind us with his girlfriend.

"No," He laughed, an arm around his potions partner's waist.

"James...I don't think we've done this right..." Sirius murmured under his breath, not wanting the professor to notice.

I looked into Remus' cauldron before looking back into our own. his was pink and simply frothing slightly at the top...Ours was green and bubbling wildly.

"Maybe now's the time we left the room..." I told him quietly, beginning to back off from our cauldron as it bubbled over the side and onto the floor.

"I think you might be right there Prongs..." He murmured in reply, following in my actions and stepping away from the potion.

Remus looked at us curiously before his eyes widened.

"Did you put those Alkava leaves in before the dragonfly wings?" he asked us with wide eyes. I swallowed hard.

"Sirius, what were you thinking?" I cried out at my best friend, putting the blame on him.

"What? Me?! I didn't do anything!" He shouted back, still moving away from our desk.

"Sirius, it was a simple mistake. I'm sure you didn't mean to do it." I lied, grinning as Remus stared at Sirius with a raised eyebrow.

"James you git!" Sirius laughed, thumping me in the arm and earning a hit back.

"Is it my fault that you're thicker than the average person?" I grinned, dodging his punch and tackling him to the ground.

"Says the git who just ruined our potion!" He laughed, kicking and punching me as we scrambled on the ground. As I was about to reply I was cut off by a loud explosion and thick green slime hitting every inch of the potions room.

People cried out in disgust and girls' screams were heard resounding about the room.

"Now look what you've done!" I shouted at Sirius over the screams.

"James you are one hell of a bastard!" He grinned, throwing some of the green slime at me and hitting me square in the stomach.

"Are you alright Sirius?" I heard Lily ask from behind us. I turned around, biting my tongue as I saw her emerald eyes looking past me and at Sirius. As she headed towards him, she slipped on some of the slime and came hurtling towards me. My eyes widened a split second as she fell into me, causing us both to fall onto the ground. I looked into her eyes as she lay ontop of me. We stayed where we were, not realising that the room was filled with people, until Sirius took her hand and helped her up.

"Sorry James..." She said quietly, before turning back to Sirius and being pulled towards him. I watched enviously as he wrapped his arms around her.

"No problem..." I muttered quietly, feeling a hand take mine.

"Are you alright James?" I heard my girlfriend Alecia ask me. Instead of replying I took her into my arms and kissed her warmly. Whether it was to try and make Lily jealous or to make myself feel better, I didn't know... But I don't think it worked both ways.
