Lily

Lily smiled as the day ended. She had done fairly well for her first day. Her face was plastered with a smile as she talked to Severus. Her nodded along to her rambling. Then he grimaced and said,

"Lily, I see my common room. I'll see you later, though. After all, the Beatxbatons are coming tomorrow." He smiled and walked off. Lily sighed. She wished that she had some girl friends. The girls she had sat with the night before seemed nice, but as soon as she had mentioned Severus, they had looked at her oddly. Apparently she wasn't supposed to be friends with Slytherins. As she frowned, her eyes alighted on a girl who was looking a little lonely. Lily walked over to her.

"Hello," Lily said hesitantly.

"Oh! Hello," the girl said back.

"Um, what's your name?"

"Miranda Mumblewed," the girl said quietly.

"My names Lily Evans. Are you okay if I, um, sit by you? Y'know, at dinner?" The other girl looked around as if Lily was talking to someone else.

"Of course!" The girl said happily. "No one's ever asked me that before." The two girls started talking, both extremely exited. When Lily mentioned Severus, Miranda said,

"Oh yeah, you were talking to him before, weren't you? He seemed nice." That's when Lily was sure she had found the perfect friend. The two girls even agreed on their theory that James was an arrogant prat, and that Sirius was much too handsome for his own good. They didn't notice that the two boys they were talking about were right behind them, and they didn't notice them wince at the comparisons. They smiled at one another as they talked, and then Lily said,

"Really, the thing James Potter does that annoys me the most is that thing with his hair. I don't understand why he does that. Its messy enough." Miranda said,

"Yes, but its not all bad. He's a little bit cute."

Lily mused, " Yes, he's a little bit cute... But I would never like him, he's too annoying." Miranda nodded. Then Lily noticed where they were.

"Wow, we got here fast!" The girls were in the great hall, getting ready to sit down. They sat down, then noticed the very person they had been talking about right across from them. He ruffled his hair and then said,

"Hello, ladies. I hear you've been talking about me." Lily rolled her eyes. Then Miranda said,

"Sure, we're talking about you. I mean, why wouldn't we talk about an egotistical prat?" Lily caught on quickly.

"I mean, they're all the rage lately. They are the envy of all!" James looked confused. Lily laughed at his expression and then quickly blushed a deep red. She didn't want him to think that she liked him. He didn't catch on, and Lily sighed in relief. Then she started talking to Miranda, glad she didn't just have to sit there like yesterday. Then the food popped up. Lily smiled at it and piled some on her plate. She noticed a bunch of French foods, and guessed that it was because of the Beaxbatons arrival the next day. It was all very delicious. Very good. She especially liked the crêpes. They were so sugary. But as Lily inhaled the sugary goodness, she realized that James was staring at her, and glared at him. Then she ate some more and then saw Miranda laughing at her.

"You've got some, um, sauce on on your face." She wiped at her face with a napkin that randomly appeared.

"Did I get it?"

"Yeah." She finished her food, a cheeseburger and fries, and then they went back to the common room. Lily laughing as she saw how much stuff really was on her face.

James

Lily was really cute, even with food all over her face. James sighed as she noticed him watching her, and saw her glare at him. He was wishing very hard that she didn't hate him when he noticed she was gone. He sighed again, then decided to try those crêpes. They looked pretty good, after all.

After James had eaten about ten of the crêpes, he toddled back to the common room, extremely full. He got to the portrait and then realized he couldn't remember the password. He was just cursing himself for forgetting when a random person came up. She said

"Oh! Um, have you forgotten the password?" James nodded. She said,

"Well, I think its hippogriff, but..." As soon as she had said hippogriff the portrait had opened. James smiled thankfully at her, then waddled through the portrait hole. Lily was stranding right there, and he accidentally-on-purpose fell onto her.

"Oof! Crap, Potter, what're you doing? Gerroff me!" She shoved him off her. He blushed and ran his hand through his hair.

"Sorry, Evans. I thought that there might be some sort of treasure where you were standing, so I fell on you to make you move." She just shook her head at his antics. She muttered something about bed and friends who obviously wanted to embarrass her. James just looked at her and wondered what the heck she was talking about. She pushed past him and headed for her dorm, and he did the same.

The next day James wondered what the heck he was doing eating more food. He was still full from his last meal. But he had to get himself full first. After all, the kids from Beauxbatons were coming today. After he finished he told Peter his instructions.

"Talk to Lily, and if possible, only if possible, try to get her to hate me a little less, please." Peter nodded, and scurried off. Then James started off to transfiguration with his friends behind him. Remus was chuckling quietly to himself. James was tempted to spin around and ask him what the heck he was laughing about, but he decided against it.

After all of his classes, James was feeling rather exited. The Beauxbatons were coming today, and he wanted to see what they came in. He raced to his dormitory and freshened himself up. The headmaster himself had asked them to look nice. So he tried to comb his hair, but it wasn't working. So he abandoned the attempt and just walked outside. Everyone was amassed at the balcony, so he shoved his way to where his friends were.

"Any sign of them?" They shook their heads.

"Dang. Well, we just have to be prepared. So look in the sky, in the lake, pretty much anywhere. Be prepared!" After his little speech, James looked around for anything. He didn't see anything, until he saw a whole bunch of pegasi in the sky. Just as he saw those, Remus shouted,

"Look! In the lake!" Thousands of giant seahorses were coming up.

"They really know how to make an entrance," Sirius remarked wryly. James just smiled. The Beauxbatons had arrived, and there was sure to be a feast.
