Other than the fictional Minnie McGLoin, whose character is going to land right into the garbage can after this, nothing is mine. it's all JK's.

Lily was in a Bad Mood, and she wasn't even PMSing, which put her in an Even Worse Mood. She could neither tell the real reason for her Bad and Even Worse Mood, or tell her friends why she was angry, simply because she couldn't say the real reason, and she had just gotten her monthly visitor. Why not lie? Because this is Lily Evans we are talking about, amazing and clever, but sadly incapable of duplicity.
At breakfast, James Potter- no, just Potter at the moment- had sat at the Hufflepuff table. Just to sit beside Minnie McGloin of all people. And regrettably, Lily had had a front row seat to their sickening display of – whatever it was. She was buttering his toast for God's sake, as if the boy had no arms and couldn't do it himself. Buttering his toast, and handing it to him with a sweet little smile. Lily wanted to leap over the table, shout that James already had a mother thank you, and then slap James in the face for leading her on. She considered it for a good moment, before dismissing it for obvious reasons.
She gripped her fork even tighter and thanked God that she hadn't told her friends about the Holiday Snog, as she had christened it. It getting into mid- January, and the dolt had yet to make another move on her. Did she need a sign? Would something along the lines of, "Get a frickin clue; I am getting tired of your cluelessness, because I thought snogging you would be enough?" work if it was written in bold?
Lily continued her internal tirade, as her friends looked on with concern at the alternating and sometimes disturbing expressions on her face. After a while they dismissed it as her momentarily displacing her sanity, and assured themselves that she would find it soon enough. Minnie and James continued eating breakfast in their happy little bubble.
After breakfast several things happened:
A first year walking past Lily as she stomped towards Potions became suddenly absorbed with something on the floor, and pressed himself close to the wall, trying to get past her without incident and perhaps injury.
James and Minnie left the Hall together and were reportedly seen heading towards the spacious (and popular) closet located on the same floor.
Lily snapped her favourite quill in Potions when Sluggy asked why she was looking 'a bit murderous, actually', as he put it.
James and Minnie high fived in the aforementioned closet and agreed to update each other on the results of the Make Lily Evans Jealous And Hopefully Result in Her Snogging James Again And Possibly Also But Not Likely Result In Her Asking Him Out... plan.
