Yes, I know. It is an insanely short and pointless chapter. D

The next morning the marauders sat together for breakfast in the Great Hall, as usual. Sirius and Remus began sharing secretive smiles and furtive gazes over the pumpkin juice whilst Peter and James argued over who got to have the last slice of toast. They were disturbed, however, when Lily Evans sat down beside James and began to eat said last slice of toast.

James was enamoured, Remus and Sirius exchanged knowing looks and Peter, well he was just bitter at the loss of food. But don't worry, he soon found some scrambled eggs to quench his unfathomable hunger.

"Morning guys," said Lily in between mouthfuls.

James was speechless, Sirius smirked at Lily's tactics and her immediate response to their bet, Remus murmured a hello as he blushed at the memory of their last meeting and Peter, well he was busy with those eggs, wasn't he?

"You guys really overwhelm me with your friendliness," commented Lily, sarcastically.

"Sorry Evans," croaked James, the normally cocky boy was gobsmacked with Lily's casual demeanour.

"Oh, come on, James! Call me Lily. I mean, we've been at school together for nearly six years now, surely we should be on a first name basis," said Lily, as she flashed James a bright smile.

"Right," stuttered James, "Lily. And six years. Got it." Sirius quirked his head and tried to figure out what Lily was up to, Remus tried to hide a wry grin and Peter, finished with his eggs began to munch upon what food was left on the stunned James's plate.

"So...when's the next quidditch match?" Lily inquired sweetly.

"Ummm, well this Saturday. I mean, well eh. Slytherin and Ravenclaw are playing. On Saturday, that is. The next eh, Gryffindor match is in about eh, two weeks," said James, pulling at the collar of his robes.

"Oh," said Lily, "well, I guess I better get to class. Talk to you guys later. Bye James."

The moment Lily left the hall, James collapsed on the table in front of him with a large sigh of desperation, Sirius burst out laughing, Remus tried to contain himself but the laughter was far too contagious, Peter however, just contemplated how lucky James was that Peter had taken his plate away before he had crashed onto the very last place it had occupied.

"Smooth James, real smooth." Sirius said, still chuckling. He then stood up and began to gather his belongings, "shall we to class, Herr Moony?" he said with a smile.

"We shall, Monsieur Padfoot," said Remus, returning the smile. The two began to follow Lily's footsteps out of the hall leaving James to wallow in his misery and Peter to feast on the leftovers.

"It could've been worse," said James, "I mean, she actually said my name. And she didn't threaten me, not even once."

"She didn't stay long though," said Peter, "and she acted really out of character."

"I'll bet it was Sirius and Remus's doing. I knew they were trying to win her over for me," James continued, ignoring Peter as usual.

"I still think there's something going on between those two," said Peter incoherently through mouthfuls of the last of breakfast, "they have chemistry, you know."

"Lily Evans, said my name...Lily Potter, said my name.

Yes, yes...I know, I abuse Lily. XD
