James was infuriated.

Melinda just had to stick her arse in when he was certain Lily was about to tell him something important.
"Jeez, she really does stalk you." Melinda said as she puffed her hair up. "What a freak!"
James held his breath. If this girl said anything more he wouldn't be able to hold in his anger. He was unbelievably pissed off.
"What is she wearing?" Melinda continued. "Proper disgusting."
James glared, though she didn't see in the dark.
"I think she looks really nice." James said.
Melinda scoffed. "You don't have to say that James, I won't tell her."
"No, she's the prettiest girl at this party tonight."
James enjoyed hearing Melinda's sharp intake of breath.
"Now, James. That's ridiculous!"
"What? Who do you think is?"
"…Well, I spent a lot of money on this dress and-"
"Are you seriously going to say you are?" James raised an eyebrow.
"I know I'm arrogant but that's just down right idiotic!"

Melinda stood up abruptly. "What the hell James! Are you saying I'm ugly?"
James looked up. He could see the wide whites of her eyes.
"No," He said. "I think you look alright and all."
"But not prettier than Evans?" Her voice seemed dangerously high pitched.
James regretted the words the minute he'd said them.
"No one's prettier than Evans."
There was a brief pause, and then James felt a burst of pain as the end of a stiletto stabbed into his calf.
"Merlin woman!" James shouted, standing up and jumping on one leg.
"Not exactly where I was aiming." Melinda said sweetly, before stomping away into the darkness.

"Bloody girls." James muttered as he approached the house. "Can't stand them sometimes."
"Whoa Prongs!" Sirius appeared out of nowhere, slinging an arm around his shoulders. "Hope you don't mean that...on second thoughts, you and Wormy can go out! It'd make him so happy!"
James shuddered. "No no, I definitely didn't mean it."
Sirius barked a loud laugh.
"What are you doing out here Padfoot?"
"Ah, McKinnon and I were having some fun." He smirked.
"But she just had to head in, I think the girls are leaving now."
James frowned. He wanted to try and see Lily again!
"And you?"
Sirius said, winking.
"Lets just say the only part of me that got any action tonight was the bottom half of my leg…Melinda stabbed me with her bloody shoes." He winced slightly.
"Prooooongs!" Sirius laughed. "What'd you do now?"
"Nothing! She just overreacted! I even said she was alright looking!"
Sirius sniggered.
"Alright, I might have said Lily was the prettiest girl at the party…"
"You my friend are an arse."
James punched Sirius in the shoulder. "Just come on, and get off me…you smell like wet dog and alcohol."

James and Sirius walked into the kitchen through the back door, glad to be back in the heat. "Where's Moony and Wormtail?" James asked.
"Merlin knows. Probably off snogging eachother."
James laughed. "Well we need to find them…I don't want to be in this house anymore, If Melinda finds me I'm screwed."
The kitchen was empty; the alcohol table was littered with empty bottles and cups.
"Most people are already gone." James pressed on. "Let's check the rooms."

They walked in and out of different rooms. Eventually, in a ballroom mostly empty except for a few happy couples, they found Remus in the corner with a girl.
"Oooooh!" Sirius whispered in James' ear. "Watch this." Sirius bounded towards the couple.
"Moony!" He shouted. "...Moony what are you doing?" He reached them and James saw Remus was glaring. The mystery girl looked slightly scared.
"How could you?" Sirius fell to his knees at Remus's feet.
"Padfoot don't-" Remus warned.
"But I love you Moony! I thought we had something something special!"
Remus kicked Sirius in the face.

James burst out laughing as Sirius howled, clutching his nose. Remus said sorry to the girl, looking embarrassed. She lifted her head and kissed his cheek, before giggling and running away.
Grinning, the smaller boy walked towards James.
"Woooo Moony!" James smirked. "Who's she?"
Remus reddened, "Sara McDonald. She's a fifth year Ravenclaw…" He trailed off.
Sirius, who was throwing a tantrum, interrupted their conversation.
"MOONY!" He was bawling his eyes out, face contorted. "If you've messed up my beautiful looks I'll murder you!"
"Sirius," James said. "Get up. I need to find Lily. You can kill Remus later."
Sirius stood up, clutching his nose.
"I'm…I'm bleeding!" Sirius wiped his clear nose.
"You are not bleeding."
"I am!"
"Oh, so is your blood invisible now? Please, do tell me how you managed that."
"Oh shut up Moony. You're the reason I'm going to have to get my nose removed."

James and Remus looked at each other, used to Sirius's ridiculous rants.
"Where's Pete?" James asked Remus, who shrugged. "Haven't seen him all night."
James groaned. "Do we really have to find him? I just want to talk to Lily then leave."
Remus looked up. "Lily? She came to me looking for you earlier. Did she find you?"
James nodded. "Yeah, and I think she was about to say she doesn't hate me anymore when Melinda came."
Remus was about to reply when Sirius screeched yet again.
"STOP IGNORING ME!" He shouted. "This is serious!"
He snapped out of his agonized state for a moment, smirking. "Pun intended."

James groaned.
"Can we go now, please?"

After some persuasion (actually a lot of persuasion) Sirius agreed to leave the room with them.
"I'm gonna cut off all of your hair when you're sleeping." Sirius said happily to Remus.
"Yeah, and I'll go all werewolf on your arse, see how you like that." Remus grinned back as Sirius stuck his tongue out.
James walked a few paces ahead, searching for their pudgy friend.
A couple of tired looking girls were heading to the front door.
He caught up with them. "Excuse me? Have you seen Peter Pettigrew?"
"Who?" One of them asked.
"Y'know, fourth marauder, short, slightly on the rounder side? Fond of a cheesecake or two?"
The other nodded. "Oh yeah, um…I think I saw him leaving earlier?"
James turned back to his friends. "You hear that? Did he tell either of you?"
They both shook their heads.
"Oh well, thanks anyway."
The girls walked away and left through the door.
"There's just this room to check for Lily." James said, indicating to the door on their right.
"She's probably left by now…I might have caught her if you hadn't been such a twat." James gestured to Sirius, who pouted.

James opened the door slowly, and as the contents came into view, he sucked in a breath.
"Prongs?" Sirius said. "What's wrong?"
James shut the door and stumbled back, shaking his head.
"I'll be outside…w-waiting for you two." James looked like he was about to throw up as he ran to the front door. After he'd disappeared from view, Remus looked over as the door.
"Merlin, what can be going on in there?"
"Let's find out!" Sirius smirked. "I love embarrassing people like this. Makes me wanna be a prefect."
He reached out a hand, but just as he was about to grab it, it opened, and Lily stepped out. She looked rather dishevelled and there were tears running down her face.
"Evans? What's wrong?" Sirius said.
Lily shook her head rapidly.
"I-I'm s-sorry…" She gasped before exiting the front door, running swiftly.
Remus looked over at Sirius.
"What was that about?"

To answer his question, Amos Diggory walked out of the room, looking angry.
"She just bloody left! I had to spend all night listening to her rant on about god knows what and finally I was getting some, then after your mate walked in she started crying!" He pushed past Sirius.
"She's so bloody boring…but I reckoned she'd be a good kisser, well, I was wrong!"
Remus raised an eyebrow. "Careful Amos, Lily's a friend of mine."
Amos laughed.
"Oh yeah, you're just as boring as her. In fact, did you know there are some rumours floating around about you."
Remus's eyes widened with fear.
"Some people reckon it's quite strange you always get ill at the same time every month."
He grinned knowingly as Remus whitened.
"You shouldn't even be allowed outside if you are one of-"
BANG.
Sirius punched Amos hard on the nose.
"Ow! Black, what the hell was that for?"
"No one talks about my friends like that. Say anything more and I might just forget about the age restriction on magic outside of Hogwarts."
Amos scoffed, but knew better than to talk again. He smirked and walked away.
"Stupid git." Sirius was muttering as he nursed his hand.

Remus smiled at Sirius. "Mate, you didn't have to do that!" He felt his eyes begin to water and he couldn't help but throw his arms around his friend. Sirius patted his back awkwardly.
"Er…Moony…I know this is a nice moment and all…but it starts getting weird after about three seconds."
Remus let go of Sirius and smiled. "C'mon. Lets find James."

Lily put her head in her hands. She was sat on the wet grass just outside of Melinda's gates, with no clue on how she was going to get home. After James had walked in and she'd seen the look on his face, Lily broke down. Right in front of Amos, who had looked quite annoyed.
Next, after she'd left the house, of course she just had to trip herself on James, who was sitting on the front steps.
"Oh god, James…James I'm so sorry!" She'd said, but James had just turned away from her. "I'm sorry." She'd whispered softly, before walking away. Lily hoped he realised the hidden meaning. She was sorry for him having to see her and Amos.

Now, she really thought she'd hit rock bottom. Hestia, Marlene and Alice had left without her and were surely not talking to her. She'd royally screwed things up with James. And she was sat on the ground freezing her arse off at 4 in the morning.
Lily wrapped her arms around her waist, hating the thin dress more than ever. One of her heels had snapped when she'd been running, so Lily took them off. She honestly didn't care.
"Lily?" She heard a voice. "What're you doing down there?"
Lily groaned. Oh bloody hell, on top of everything…
"None of your business, Snape."
Severus stared down at her. Slowly, hesitantly, he held out a hand.
Lily looked up. He was smiling a little, and his hand was shaking.
She took his hand and stood up, abruptly letting go.
"Do you want me to take you home?"
Lily crossed her arms and bit her lip. On the one hand, it was Severus Snape; Marlene would say that he was going to kidnap her.
On the other…Merlin she really wanted to go to bed.
"Fine." She said.

Sirius and Remus found James on the steps. He had his head in his hands.
Remus frowned at Sirius as they approached. They sat down on either side of James.
"James?" Remus said quietly. "Are you okay?"
James lifted his head up. He slowly shook his head.
"I just, I thought she liked me. Earlier, it seemed like that. I guess not…"
Sirius patted his friend on the shoulder.
"It's alright mate. Plenty of fish in the sea!"
"Yeah," Remus consoled. "You don't need her…you should try and move on."
James sighed and pushed his hair back.
"I know, but I don't think I can."
