James:

Over the past week nothing had changed that must, except for the fact that Severus Snape was no longer seen anywhere near Lily Evans. Also, Lily had made it her goal to ignore James more than she had before. He wouldn't even get the usual 'Potter', now the only thing he would get would be a glare that would put Professor McGonagall to shame. James had decided a week prior to that that it was time to change. If he ever wanted to have a chance with Evans then he needed to stop being a git. Although, anything he did could result in the never ending jokes and questions from none other than Sirius Black. Sirius was like a brother to him, but sometimes it did get annoying.

James walked into Transfigurations alone. Usually him and Sirius would be coming in last minute, but this morning he came in early, leaving the guys at breakfast. He knew the only other person that would be in here would be Lily. He set his books down at his table and walked over to the red headed girl with her head down, as she wrote on a piece of parchment.

He cleared his throat, so he didn't startle her. Even though she did jump slightly and turned to look at him. She seemed surprised to see him, but didn't say anything.

"Hey Evans." He said giving her a smile, not a smirk, an actual smile.

Though her face remained indifferent her eyes were filled with different emotions that James couldn't describe.

"Potter..." She said darkly, deciding that it was no use ignoring him if she couldn't help it.

He took a deep breath before saying, "I wanted to apologize for the other day with Sni- I mean Snape."

If Lily was surprised by his apology then she didn't show it, he was about to say more, but McGonagall had just walked in followed by several other students, Sirius, Remus, and Peter included in the mix. James quickly headed over to his seat before Sirius had sat down.

"Hey Prongs, why did you leave breakfast early?" He asked, Sirius was never one that would miss a meal. HE was type of guy that was still hungry after two helpings.

Lucky James didn't get a chance to reply because class had started right away. Sirius had given him a look that said, 'Don't think this is over' before turning his attention to the front of the class.

James was distracted all throughout the rest of the day, thinking about his apology to Lily, thinking about her expression. Did he see a hint of surprise or anger? He wasn't sure, however, her emotions could usually be clearly told in those bright green eyes of hers. James had done what needed to be done, he said he was sorry and he didn't both Lily after that.

"Prongs. Prongs. James!"

It was Sirius, "What?" he asked.

"I've been trying to get your attention for the past 5 minutes, you ok?" He asked, a slight hint for concern etched on his face. Remus on the other hand, who showed more emotion than Sirius had concern clearly written on his face.

"Yeah, I'm fine, Padfoot." He said trying to wave it off.

"Anyway..." Sirius said at totally convinced, "I wanted to know if you wanted to go and find Snivellus?"

Normally James would have automatically would have said, 'yes', but there was something about the idea that didn't excite him as much as it use to. James shook his head, "i'm good Padfoot, I think I might go back to the common room.." He said, "See ya, later." He bid his friends goodbye before turning away and leaving his best friends standing there in shock. They could not believe that Jame Potter didn't want to mess with Severus Snape. Something was up with him and they wanted to know.

James entered the Gryffindor common room to find it empty, 'perfect' he thought. Now he could think of the next step in his plan for redemption.
