Lilies

"Lily, I'm sorry!" James said chasing after Lily. She turned around suddenly, halting a very flustered James. Her fierce glare and fiery hair made him want to back up a few inches, actually a few feet, maybe even meters.

"First of all, it's EVANS to you Potter, and second of all, I don't want your apologizes, just please leave me," her voice quieting at the end.

"Li-Evans, I really am sorry. I never thought he would call you that," James attempted again. "If you want me to beat him up for you, I will! Or leave him alone, I will." He sounded more excited about the first option then the second.

"Maybe later, Potter," Lily said in a wearied tone, "As for now, I'd like for you to leave me alone."

James eyes lit up at the sound of future plans with Lily that he didn't care that she sounded rude. "Okay Evans, I'll see you around, yeah?"

She didn't answer; she walked into the other fifth year Gryffindor's compartment and didn't look behind her. James walked away with a huge grin on his face. He already planned on sending her an owl once he got home.

Maybe some flowers too, that could lift her spirits… What kind? Lilies would be awfully punny…
