AN: You guys get chapters when I'm bored. Enjoy.
Disclaimer: Chapter 1 says it all.
The next week they went back to school, and Lily's cousins had taken to following her around as if she was going to jump out a window and kill herself any moment.
"Relax, would you? I'm completely fine" Lily muttered to Fred, who raised an eyebrow. "You are such a bloody liar. And you're bad at it too" he responded.
"I am not a liar! Why can't you get it through your thick heads that I don't care about Lysander anymore! Let him shag Alyssa Finnigan until he dies, for all I care!" Lily screamed, slamming her book closed and letting out a long sigh at the slightly offended look on Fred's face.
"Freddy, I'm sorry, alright? It's just that you and everyone else have been following me around for the last week and I'm just run-down and stressed and I don't know what to do anymore" she muttered, her voice cracking.
Right away, Fred went from overprotecitve cousin, to awkward teenage boy.
"Don't cry, Lily, you know I'm rubbish with crying girls!" he yelled, looking around wildly as if someone was going to pop out from behind a wall and help him figure out what to do. Lily rolled her eyes and stood up.
"I don't think I could cry anymore if I tried" she muttered sadly. Fred let out a sigh of relief and wrapped an arm around Lily. "How about I walk you back to the Gryffindor common room, and if we run into Scamander, I'll kick his arse halfway across the school, sound like a plan?" he asked, leading her away.
Lily laughed and nodded.
As they were heading towards Lily's common room, Lysander rounded a corner, his hand laced with a very smug looking Alyssa Finnigan's.
Lily froze, and felt Fred's arm tighten around her shoulder.
"Hello, Potter, so nice to see you have one bloke who won't leave you, too bad he's related, or you'd probably shag him, you're so desperate for attention" Alyssa snarled, a grin on her face as her words had a visible effect on Lily, who rolled her eyes and turned to Fred, a lump rising in her throat.
"Can we please just leave?" she asked quietly.
Fred nodded and glared at Lysander, pulling Lily off down the corridor.
The rest of the night passed without anything happening again, but the next day in Care Of Magical Creatures, Lily had finally had enough.
Alyssa was watching her from across the clearing, smirking. At first Lily thought she could just avoid her, but Hagrid, obviously not effected by the tension, paired them together to try to handle a Blast-Ended Skrewt.
"Just stay out of my way, Finnigan, wouldn't want you to break a nail" Lily muttered, watching the creature with interest written all over her face.
Alyssa glared at her.
"Shut up, Potter. Just because you're jealous that Lysander chose me over you, although honestly, I'm not surprised" she said, smiling when Lily stood and glared at her. "One, I'm not jealous, and two, if Lysander wants a girl who's going to sleep with every bloke and even some girls who lays a hand on her, then let him have you" Lily growled back.
The smug smile fell off Alyssa's face, and a smug smile grew on Lily's.
"Oh, did I cross a line, I heard all about you and that girl they found you with in one of the supply closets, why can't you just keep it in your pants?" Lily asked, smiling brightly still.
Alyssa remained silent as Lily bent down to get a closer look at the Blast-Ended Skrewt, but after a few minutes, she spoke up again.
"Would you tell your cousins to stop glaring at me like I've murdered their puppies, or something? Especially the frizzy red-headed one, Rose, or whatever her name is, she's far too busy shagging random boys in bathrooms to even know what's going on between me and Lysander" she said, smirking when she saw she'd hit a nerve.
"Rose Weasley is the sweetest, most innocent girl in the entire world. She would not take any boy into any bathroom and shag them. You, Finnigan, are you one who likes to shag random blokes in bathrooms and in public places, so shut up about my family" Lily growled, standing up again and getting as close to Alyssa as she could.
"Oh, did I hit a nerve, Lily? Afraid people are going to think my little rumors are true? You know they will. By tonight, everyone will be thinking that your little innocent cousin is shagging everyone in this school, how will her little boyfriend Michael Wood like that one?" Alyssa asked.
Without warning, Lily brought her hand back and punched Alyssa hard in the face.
A loud crack was heard, and blood gushed from her nose.
Alyssa let out a high-pitch scream, and Hagrid glanced at Lily in shock.
"Lily, to the Headmistresses office, Alyssa, go to Madam Pomfrey" he said, nodding at one of Alyssa's friends to help her.
As she passed, Alyssa growled, "You'll pay for this one, Potter".
Lily started towards the castle herself to see the headmistress, knowing she would get weeks of detention and that Alyssa would make her life absolute hell from this point until her graduation.
But even with the pain in her hand and those thoughts in her head, Lily Potter was incredibly proud of herself.
AN: Raise your hand if you hate Alyssa Finnigan.
