On to chapter 5

Chapter 5 (lily's POV)

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! With an aggravated sigh, I looked at my alarm clock. Five o'clock Dang was it already time for me to go to work, I wish I could sit and relax a bit. Trust me I would need the rest to be able to cope with Potter all day. Potter! He made me so mad, why did he have to live there! I took my frustration on my alarm clock; the pieces scattered all around my floor. I regretfully got out of bed, when I felt a sharp pain in my foot. I fell back onto the bed, trying to remove the screw that was stuck in my foot. This was definitely not going to be a good day.

I took a quick shower, feeling refreshed I went downstairs to eat breakfast. Mom had bought my favorite cereal, golden crisp! (A/N: this my favorite cereal) I now felt bad for what I did to her the other day. I grabbed a piece of paper, I wrote a note to my mom to tell her how much I would miss her today, and that I would tell her everything when I got home.

Eating alone I quickly ate my delicious cereal. I went upstairs to finish getting ready. I brushed my long red tresses, and put my hair into a messy ponytail, a few strands escaping and framing my face. Continuing my routine I put on mascara and eyeliner. Putting the final touches on my face, I glanced at the clock 6:23, oh crap I better hurry! I raced to the street, wand in hand. I lifted it out in front of me, and within seconds a red triple-decker bus appeared out of nowhere.

" E'llo miss!" cheerily the conductor said.

" Hi, this is the night bus right?" I asked

"Certainly, dear! It'll take you anywhere you want to go!" glancing at my watch I took a seat on the knight bus.

"Where is it ya be going miss?" he asked, staring at me

"Potter Manor, please" I said in a hurried voice, not wanting to be late for my first day of work. It would give a bad impression, plus Potter would have a field day if miss little prefect was late.

The conductor closed the door, and with a burst of speed we were off. I watched the muggles in their cars, not knowing a triple-decker bus was weaving in between them. Getting my things ready, I looked at my watch 6:28. Finally after a few minutes of aggravation we arrived to the front doors of the manor. Tipping the driver for the speedy arrival. I quickly entered the house, to my dismay it was a complete wreck. How the heck did this happen? Did they get robbed or something? Looking at the damage that had been done, i let out a groan.

"Well hello Lily!" boomed a voice, startled I looked around to see where the voice was coming from, seeing Mr. Potter, I walked towards him, hoping he wouldn't mind that I was late.

" Hi, Mr. Potter," I said ashamedly, "sorry I'm a bit late, I promise it won't happen again."

" Oh, It isn't a problem that you're late, it happens to the best of people," He said with a smile on his face. I beamed; he actually thought that I was the 'best of people', seeing my face he said,

"So, shall we get to work then?" he said rather sheepishly.

He led me too a supply closet, where there were assortments of brooms and various cleaners. For it being it a closet was a misunderstanding, it was as big as my room!

"Well, it's pretty simple just clean whatever needs to be cleaned okay?" he said with smile on his face.

" Yeah, I think I can manage," trying to be humble about this way easy job.

"Well get to work then, I daresay James's friends have made a mess haven't they?" he said with a chuckle.

What! Potter's friends are here! This is going to be a lovely day isn't it. No wonder the house looks like a wreck. (A/n: when James was chasing Sirius so yeah didn't want you to be confused) I wonder if he was doing this on purpose to spite me. The little devil, I swear I will hurt him.

" Okay, Mr. Potter I'll see you around then." I said wanting him to leave so I could get to work.

"I do hope you can straighten some of this mess out," he added with a wink, " Bye Lily I must be off, to get to my own job at the ministry." with a pop he was gone.

I started with the front as being the messiest, except the kitchen, but the house elves said they would do that. Straightening the rugs, and polishing things was a lot harder work then I thought. Tired to the bone I sat down on one of the comfy armchairs, I quickly fell asleep.

I woke up feeling a whole lot better, but something had woken me up. I listened carefully I could here the piano being played somewhere throughout the house. I got up yawning and set to find out who was playing so beautifully. It sounded like it was upstairs, so I walked up the grand staircase. Getting closer I located the room, I listened at the door, oh it was so beautiful, I thought my heart would melt right there on the spot. I timidly opened the door, awaiting to see Mrs. Potter. To my utter amazement it was Potter! He looked so sad and solemn; I never saw this side of him before. Potter glancing up caught sight of me, oh crap I was in for it now.

"Lily?" he said in a soft voice, I never heard before. Who was this, it was definitely not the Potter I knew. I quickly ran out the room, embarrassed as to what I had just witnessed. He chased after me down the hall, grabbing my arm. Pulling me closer to him, I looked down at the floor.

"James what do you want?" I whispered. James? Where did that come from I thought.

"You…." He said whispering into my ear.

I was completely speechless. I looked into his hazel eyes, to see if he was lying. There was something there that wasn't there before, I don't know what it was, but his arrogance wasn't there. I quickly looked away, he was telling the truth. He never looked at me that way before.

"Why did you run away, I didn't do anything wrong did I?" he said in a sad voice, I let out a gulp I looked back into his gorgous hazel eyes. Steadily getting closer, I could see every detail in his face. Feeling his breath on my cheek sent shivers down my spine. Are foreheads now touching, I whispered

"No, James you- I…" With a yelp down the hall we both spun around. Sirius was bounding down the hal, jerking me back to reality I quicklt moved away from James. Since when did I call him James?

"I'm not interrupting anything am I?" He said with a sly smile.

"Sirius-just" James I mean Potter said.

"What? Be nice to little Miss Flower here?" he said pointing to me.

"Sirius you git! Be nice okay, remember what we talked about." Potter said looking at Sirius. What had they talked about? Me?

"Oh! Right Prongs, Sorry Evans for the umm… impoliteness" Sirius said shooting a look at James who gave him thumbs up.

"Quite alright Black, though nothing was 'going on' so no apology needed." I said sharply. With this James frowned, I felt bad maybe that was a bit harsh.

"Come on Sirius, let's go wake up Remus." Potter said probably embarrassed. When was Potter ever embarrassed, especially in front of me? Black and Potter rushed down the hallway.

Leaving me standing alone in the deserted hallway completely confused, as to what just happened. Slowly going down the stairs to clean up the wreck of the front room.

JAMES POV

" Why does she always do this to me, Padfoot?" I said sadly.

Sirius not knowing how to respond continued up the hall. I looked at him; he seemed to be thinking of what to say, giving up he said to me.

"Well… I … um… Let's ask Remus ok?"

"Okay…"giving a frustrated sigh.

Finally reaching my room, Sirius and I woke up Remus, to ask for advice. He got up, and rubbed eyes. Stretching he looked up at Sirius.

"Hey guys. What's so important that you won't let me get my rest?"

"Remus, I was playing the piano this morning, because I had one of those freaky nightmares again," I said solemnly, " then lo and behold Lily walks in on me playing the piano. I look up I call her name, and I mean her first name. I said it in a way soft voice, I don't know why but anyway..."

Looking for my friends approval, they nodded their heads in understanding

"Go on James" Remus said like a doctor of some sort.

"Without giving me the time of day she runs away, and of course I chase her wanting some answers," Completely flustered on how girl's mind worked, "When I finally caught up to her she seemed like she wasn't annoyed by the sight of me! Then to my surprise she turned around and actually talked to me in a calm voice."

"Never thought I would see the day, when you and Evans would talk calmly to each other." Said Sirius laughing.

"Sirius shut the bloody hell up for once, and let the man speak!" Remus yelled at Sirius.

"Thanks Moony, now where was I?" I said lost.

"You and Lily were talking peacefully." Remus said.

"Oh yeah, well she called me by my first name another surprise. She really seemed to see me in a whole new light. We were about to kiss when Sirius came and messed stuff up.

"She called you by name, Prongs? And tried to kiss you? Pfft yeah right..." Sirius said doubtfully.

"Yes! She really did, ask her yourself!" I said sharply.

"Let me go talk to her okay, I need to sort out this mess." Remus said quickly changing into fresh clothes. " Just leave her alone until lunch okay?"

"Okay." Sirius and I said in unison.

"I think we'll go find James's snitch." Sirius said to Remus.

"Sounds like a plan," Remus replied getting off the bed. Heading towards the door he looked back " Well I guess I'll head down now, see you guys later."

The door closed behind Moony. When Sirius and I looked at each other, " I hope he will get through to her Pads."

"He will Prongs, Remus is like the only one that Lily can stand. Anyway let's get are minds off Lily, and find that snitch."

Sirius grabbed my old Comet 260, following Sirius out the door.
