Chapter Two (revisited)

"Did I just do what I think I just did?" I asked my friends as soon as his magnificent butt disappeared around the doorframe and out of my pitiful little life forever.

"Yep." Came the two replies.

"Oh. My. God. My life is ruined."

 A/N: On with the next chappy!

Chapter Three: "Yeah, sure. Of course you are."

"Look at it this way Lil; he was never good enough for you anyway. It's not like you were gonna marry him!" Cass rubbed my back in what she thought was a comforting way.

"Yeah, Lily dear, it's no big deal." Belle added her tuppennyworth.

"I just made the biggest fool of myself infront of the hottest guy in the whole of seventh year, and you tell me, IT'S NO BIG DEAL? Where were you when I stared at him like an idiot? Where were you when I poured a whole bloody cup of hangover cure over his head?" I screamed. "I'm sorry. Emotional times."

Belle and Cass nodded in a knowing way.

My bottom lip started to tremble and before I knew what was happening, the floodgates had opened.

"I *hiccup* really liked *hiccup* him you guys. What the *hiccup* HELL does he *hiccup* think of me *hiccup* now?"

"Oh shh. Shh now. I'm sure he understands that we all need a little crazy time. Just that you had yours when he happened to walk through that door. It was entirely his fault you know. He shouldn't have come into our dormitory without permission or even knocking." Bella wiped away the big fat tears rolling down my cheeks.

"Plus, even someone with Snape's sense of humor could have laughed. He just stood there shouting his head off. No balls either. He came into our dorm with back ups. They stood in the common room and waited for him to scream. If he did, they would come running to the rescue." I knew Cassie was making it up, but it made me feel so much better.

"Thanks you guys. What would I do without you?" I grinned whilst hugging them both in a death-grip.

"Lily… cutting… off… air… supply." Bella wheezed.

"Oh, sorry." I said releasing them immediately.

"Chin up. Let's go to the common room. Then we can ogle some fit guys. That sound good?" Belle grinned, pulling my sleeve and dragging me to the door.

"MY HAIR!" I cried suddenly.

"Oh God, it's still green." Cassie moaned.

"CHANGE IT BACK!" I shrieked.

"Okay, okay, stand still." Cassie caught my arms and pinned them to my side. "Belle, cast it."

"Unibis changi." Belle whirled her wand and my hair transformed back to its natural glossy red colour.

"Did I have green hair when Jonathan was here?" I asked fearfully.

Cass and Belle just nodded.

"Oh well." I said, feigning carelessness, "What do I care?"

Then I proceeded to waltz down to the common room. The only table with three spare seats was a table I wished I'd never set eyes on.

At that table were James Potter and Sirius Black. The only thing to make it slightly better was Remus was sitting with them.

"Do you mind if we sit here?" Cassie asked softly.

"Free country." James waved dismissively to the three empty chairs.

"Thanks." I said, sinking in the one furthest away from James.

"Wait a second; did Lily and James just sit down together without arguing?" Sirius asked his face full of mock worry.

"Maybe we should take them to the Hospital Wing." Remus added, feeling James head for signs of fever.

I growled and spread my Potions homework out on the desk infront of me. "I've had a bad day. Don't make it worse, or I'm likely to hex you into oblivion." I warned.

Sirius spread his hands in surrender. "I was just making a point."

"Well don't. Not unless you want to burp toads for the rest of your dating life."  I grinned at Sirius' horrified face.

"She can do that?" He asked Bella behind his hand.

"Yep. And much worse. Charms is her best class." Belle whispered back.

"I'll remember that before we decide to prank her." Remus grinned at the outraged look on my face.

"You? Prank me? I hardly think so. James maybe, but never you." Now it was Remus' turn to look outraged.

"What do you mean, never me? I am the brains behind all of their operations!"

"Yeah, sure. Of course you are." Cassie grinned disarmingly.
