Disclaimer: i know it's been a while, but still not mine.

A month had passed and curiously, Professor McGonagall had turned a blind eye to any misdeeds that the head students (mainly James) may have done, even not mentioning the two of them arriving to class late on multiple occasions. Both head students had been harassed by a large majority of the student body, asking if it was a joke, and if James (for the girls) or Lily (for the guys) would go out with them. In each case, Lily would angrily tell the girl to back off before passionately kissing James, while he would pull out his wand and threaten to hex them.

LILY POV

I'm going to kill Jacki Greene. The Hufflepuff had spent all of Herbology flirting with James and there was nothing I could do about it. Professor Sprout had paired them together for a Herbology assignment, one that required for them to work together after class hours as well. My partner, Sirius, turned to me, and said, "Calm down Flower. James isn't even responding to her advances. As if he'd cheat on you anyway."

I'd believed him then, but as I wandered through the castle, I saw James and Sirius standing among nearly a dozen Slytherin students, all on the ground, either stunned or hexed beyond recognition. My raged flamed up instantly when I recognised the long black hair of Severus.

"Potter! Black! What do you think you are doing?!"

"Lily! It's called self-defence!"

"So I'm supposed to believe that the two of you took out 11 Slytherins on your own?"

"Well they're not incredibly bright, you know."

And of course, Jacki Greene decided that was the perfect time to arrive on the scene.

"Oh Merlin! Are you okay Jaimsie Waimsey?"

"Aaargh!" I closed my eyes. When I opened them and spoke, the calmness in my voice scared me. "I thought you'd changed, James. I thought that at least your parent's death meant something. I should've known it was just an act to get me to go out with you."

"You're going to use my parents death on me again, Lily?"

"Shut it, Potter. Detention for a week. For both of you. And 100 points from Gryffindor. Yes, Black, from my own house. And 20 points from Hufflepuff."

"And exactly what did I do?"

I looked at her in disdain, trying to coil herself around James while he tried to ignore her.. Whatever. I ignored the fact that she spoke.

"Well Potter, you sure move on fast. You've already got girls falling over themselves to get you just seconds after being newly single. By the way Black, you'd better get your part of Herbology finished or else."

"Wait. You're breaking up with me over this?!"

"Always knew u were a smart one, Potter." And with that, I turned on my heel and left, but not quickly enough to hear Greene say "Let her go Jaimsey Waimsey. That mudblood's not worth your attention anyway."

I blinked back tears as I ran all the way to the Gryffindor dorms, choked out the password and sprinted up the spiral staircase, into my old dorm before collapsing on Alice's bed in tears.

JAMES POV

"What the hell just happened?"

"Oh don't worry about her Jaimsey-"

"Greene will you shut up and leave me alone? I'm no interested and quite honestly, you're a disgrace to your gender and your house!"

Her bottom lip trembled as if she was going to cry but I found myself not caring in the slightest. I was too angry and confused about what had just happened with Lily.

"Fine!" and with that, she stomped down the corridor as I slid down, back to the wall.

"Prongs, mate. You okay?

"She just broke up with me."

"Yeah, mate do you want to sneak out to Hogsmeade?"

"She just broke up with me. Because we were defending ourselves?"

"Well in her defence, I don't think she knew exactly what was going on. Prongs? James?

REMUS POV

"-what was going on. Prongs? James?"

I heard Sirius's voice coming from the corridor I was walking to, I quickened my pace, and what I saw was the last thing I expected. About a dozen students, Slytherins form the look of their ties and robes, lay around, either stunned or hexed, or both. James was sitting with his back to the wall, head in his hands as Sirius stood over him, hand on his shoulder.

"What in the name of Merlin's left baggy sock happened here?"

"Oh hey Moony."

"Don't 'hey moony' me, Padfoot. Explain. Now, what would Lily say if she caught you guys with these Slytherins?"

"Calm down Moony. We were walking down this corridor when these Slytherins attacked us. We got rid of them all, but Evans came here, wouldn't let us explain what happened, took a hundred points of our house, yelled a bit at Jacki Greene, then broke up with Prongs, and then James here yelled at Greene again, and now he's kind of in shock, I think."

"Wait. Lily broke up with Prongs? And she took a hundred points off her own house for self defence?"

"That's what I said."

"She didn't listen did she?"

"Nope."

I analysed him. He seemed crushed.

"Prongs, maybe you should talk to her. Explain what happened."

He didn't respond for a minute, then, agonizingly slowly, he stood up, brushed himself off, and said with the voice of indifference, "Fuck Lily Evans."

Author's Note: Yes they've broken up. No that's not the end of this story. I received a question about how long this will go for. I'm not sure yet. If i don't abandon this story, it will go until the end of their 7th year. I think there will be some more familiar faces in the next couple of chapters, and I've got a basic outline in my head.

I APOLOGISE FOR TAKING SO LONG TO UPLOAD THIS. My hard drive got wiped (twice) and school is really starting to pick up. Speaking of which, I probably won't update for a while because exams are coming up and unfortunately, education comes over leisure. I will upload as soon as possible so please don't give up on me! Thank you to all those people who have stuck with me through this time and especially those who reviewed!

Thank you all and please review!
