DISCLAIMER: I do not own of JK Rowlings wonderful work. Only the characters that you may not recognize from the original story.
The day started off with Potions first thing in the morning. Lily sat in her usual spot now, in between James and Kela, with her now sitting, somewhat in his was on the other side of James, while Remus and Marcy were the opposite side of Kela. Looking at her friends, she couldn't be happier. She looked at Kela as she twirled her blonde and electric blue hair in her fingers starring off into space, as usual. Then Remus and Marcy were deep in a conversation, no one would know about but them. While Peter was falling asleep and Sirius was biting the end of his quill. James on the other hand was busy taking notes.
(James) (Lily)
I'm bored. -J
Then pay attention.-L
Then I'll end up like Peter. -J
Lily snorted at the poor, innocent boy.
That would be nice. Haha. -L
No, cause then you'd be bored as well. See right now I'm making you not bored. -J
Who said I was bored?-L
I'm bored! Why don't you guys ever invite me into this? -S
Cause its a conversation between us, Padfoot! -J
Oh, Jamsie don't you miss me? -S
Hey, what's up? -K
James and Lily were having a secret conversation without us! -S
No we weren't. We were just talking. -L
About? -K
The fact that we're bored of this class. -J
Yeah me too! -M
No doubt. -R
So what is everyone up to later? -S
Essays! There's so many due next week! -L
Same. I wanna get a head start on them. So have a bit of spare time this weekend. -R
We should have a slumber party again this weekend! Those are fun. -K
You just don't want to sleep in our room anymore. Haha -M
Well its lonely now. -K
Yeah, lets do that! And we'll have BIG pillow fights in our underwear! -S
Sure. I'm up for it, if Lily is. -J
Whatever. But we have to patrol till like twelve or one. So you guys will be on your own for awhile. You just have to promise to not ruin ANYTHING!! I mean it Sirius! Or go through anything! -L
We won't, don't worry Flower. -S
You better not, or I'll make sure there will never be little Black juniors running around town. -L
No need to get hostile here Lils'. -J
No kidding. Don't you trust us. We lived with ya for six years. I think we should get some grapes after class! -K
And watermelon! -M
Kitchens?! -S
Everyone agreed and as the bell rang, Lily dropped the note into the trash can. James grabbed the red-haired girls hand as they walked with their to the kitchens.
--
"I love watermelon." Lily sighed as she dove into another piece. "So juicy and yummy. Best invention to God."
"No Lily. I'm the greatest invention to God." Sirius laughed.
She rolled her eyes. "So Keke. Comfy?"
Kela glared at her friend. "Oh, quite. Hows the hand doing? Nice and sweaty yet?"
"It's pretty great actually. Not sweaty at all." Lily smiled. "Thanks for asking."
"My legs are starting to become permanently numb, thanks for asking." Sirius groaned. "How long is this going to last again?"
"Only another four more days." Kela popped a grape into her mouth.
Remus sipped on a butter beer. "How much do you think McGonagall would hate us if we missed her class?"
"A lot. Why?" James asked.
"Cause it starts in two minutes." Remus said looking at his watch.
"Shit!" Marcy chugged down her drink. "I can't afford to miss her classes already!"
The other six followed her run out of the kitchens and down the stairs to the classroom that was at least a four minute run away. Even if you took the short cuts.
--
Knock knock knock.
Professor McGonagall averted her eyes towards her already closed door. She knew exactly who it was waiting to be late in. Yet she felt that they should have to wait until the others started working on their latest assignment before she dealt with them.
"As I was saying. Transfiguring your own body parts, or whole body is one of the hardest tricks in the books. Great and powerful wizards have taken years to master this. I am not asking for you to transfer anything huge today. At least a strand of hair into a snake, or your nose into a different animal nose will do. When you have mastered it, call me over and I will assess."
She strutted up her classroom, to the door.
"Good morning students. I am glad you decided to show up. What is due to this tardiness?"
"Well you see Professor..." Lily started.
"We kinda got side tracked and..." Remus stepped in.
"I was hungry. We hit the kitchens. Grabbed a bite. Didn't realize the hour." Sirius shrugged.
The Professor was always happy with the way Sirius was truthful with what he was up too. "Okay. Do this again and it will be a detention. Is that clear?"
"Yes Professor." They chimed together.
"Go in and get to work. I imagine you seven will be able to figure out at to what I have asked. You are all in gryfinndor."
--
Lily worked with Kela as usual, but she couldn't help but have a stray eye for James. Every time she felt him move or accomplish something her eyes would wander over in his direction.
"Lily you should really be paying attention as to what your doing. You'll end up with chicken feet!" Kela laughed
Lily giggled. "It's not as bad as fifth year when you got frog legs. That was a classic."
Kela blushed. "That wasn't my fault! I was working with Kyle. Remember him. Two years older then us. He was.. tutoring me."
"Tutoring didn't really go to well for the two of you. I remember him well. He was an asshole."
"Not really."
"He was going out with three other girls when he hit on you. All from different houses."
"It happens. I broke up with him remember?"
"Only cause he tried to get in your pants."
"Least I was decent enough to say no to him."
"That's true. It's weird that theres no longer anyone older then us. We're the old ones."
"Hey! I am not old. Not until I have wrinkles and my boobs sag."
"What about boobs?" Sirius looked over at the girls.
"Of course out of everything we say, Sirius hears the word boobs." Lily giggled.
Sirius shrugged. "It's what I do."
"It's more like one of the things you do." James joked.
They all laughed. "Hey. That was harsh, man." Sirius tried to look upset, but it ended in a smile.
--
That night Remus walked along with Marcy's hand in his. "This is too perfect, you know?"
Marcy smiled. "I do. Never thought I'd be at this point in a relationship. I'm really happy its with you."
"Same. I think your my soul mate, Marc."
"I love you Remus. For the rest of my life." Marcy leaned up and kissed him lightly on the lips. Remus wrapped his arms around her middle and pulled her into him, protecting her from the surrounding elements. "I feel so lucky to have found you so early. And have already had you for almost two years."
"It's my dream come true."
--
Kela sat with Sirius in the Gryfinndor common room. "Whatch ya doing?" Sirius asked reading over her shoulder.
"Reading 'Witches Weekly'."
"That's cool."
"Mmhmm."
"I'm bored. We should do something."
"But we already are."
"Actually," Sirius corrected. "your doing something. I'm just sitting here, being your pillow."
"I wasn't the one making us do this."
"Neither was I."
"Fine." Kela said throwing her magazine down. "What do you wanna do?"
Sirius raised his eye brows. "Should you really have to ask?"
--
Lily sat in her room hunched over many sheets of parchment, writing out essays she had been putting off. This was something she had never done in all her years her. Before when she received assignments, she was sure to get them done that night. But now she was hurrying to get them done the night before they were due.
She sat up and stretched. Three hours had already passed since she started. Yet she only have another three inches to go on her final potions essay. Thinking that and realizing supper would be starting any minute, made her work faster. Before she knew it, her hand was scribbling out the conclusion. Quickly skimming over her work she threw it in her bag and ran out the door, not realizing till now just how starved she was.
--
James walked down to the great hall alone, not wanting to disturb Lily when she was doing her work. He knew she hated that from their second year when she threw ink in his face. Thinking of past memories made James smile at how far the two of them had come. He was completely satisfied by the fact that Lily was a challenge. Not like those other girls who would throw themselves at him. She was better then that, and that's what made her so special.
--
Lily turned the corner faster then expected and ran face first into the last person she wanted to see alone.
--
James walked into the great hall to see all his friends sitting together.
"Hey man. Wheres the red-head?" Sirius asked.
James shrugged. "Finishing her essays I think. I didn't wanna disturb her. Remember second year when I did? I had a blackened face for a month at least."
Sirius laughed. "Mo middin mon. T'at wos pppunny." He spoke with a mouthful of food.
James rolled his eyes at his best mates manners. "Yeah. If she doesn't come down. I'm just gonna take her a plate. I'm sure she's famished. Been working all day. What did you do?"
"Keke and I played some quidditch!"
Kela rolled her eyes. "Only cause you wouldn't stop bugging me."
"What else am I supposed to do when your on my lap?"
"Ignore me?" Kela stated.
Sirius looked at her in disbelief. "But that's not any fun!"
She rolled her eyes again. "Oh brother."
--
"Why aren't you at dinner?" Lily asked.
"I got kind side tracked. And look where it brought me." The voice sounded so cool and bitter.
"Well I'm going there now. So if you'll excuse me. I'd like to get by." Lily tried to inch past the person that was like a stranger to her now.
He grabbed her arm. "What if I don't want you to go? What if I want you to stay right here, with me?"
Lily looked at the man before with frightened eyes.
--
James picked at his food. "This doesn't feel right. Something's going on."
Marcy picked up her bun. "I know. I have this weird feeling in my gut. Lily should be here by now."
The five friends all dropped their forks and practically ran out of the great hall.
"Let's split up. Marcy and Remus go to the gryfinndor common room, Remus can you grab you know what and check it? Sirius go with Kela to check outside and make sure she's not taking a run or something. I'm going to our common room and seeing if she's there." James stated and watched his friends run off in all the directions.
--
"Please just leave me alone." Lily begged.
"Not so tough now that you don't have the marauders around to protect you, hey."
"Puh-lease. I can protect myself."
"Then how did you end up here? You know Lils',"
Lily got a chill up her spine at the way he said 'Lils.'
"At one point in time you loved me. I don't know what happened. We could of been happy."
"Your a disgusting, back-stabbing, arrogant, cheating pig. That's what happened." She spat.
He laughed. "So your telling me you'd rather be friends with Potter whose exactly like that, then still be mine?"
"He's more then you'll ever be!" Lily looked into her terrors eyes. Once they used to make her knees weaken, but now Logan's eyes only contained the more reasons for her to hate him.

A/N: So I'm pretty happy with the way this ended. I never really planned this, but it just sorta happened. It makes it more dramatic. But its also a cliffhanger, something I personally HATE!! Oh well. Hope you enjoyed this, and my super speedy update!! Please review!! :)
