Chapter 5

~*~*~*~

Lily looked up as Michelle walked down the stairs. She smiled to her best friend who was fully dressed but looking very depressed. Lily's smile faded.

"You okay?" Lily asked Michelle seriously. Michelle forced a smile and nodded.

"I'm fine. Wanna go down for breakfast?" Michelle asked.

"Sure, by the time we get down there it should be seven." Lily stood up and set her book on the table then followed her friend out of the dormitory. "Are you sure you're okay?" Lily asked again.

"I'm fine Lily. Don't fuss it's just that time of month." Michelle said. Or it should be, Michelle thought. Lily put an arm round her friend comfortingly.

"Oh sorry. I should've realized." Lily said. Michelle put her head on Lily's shoulder and let her lead her to the great hall. When they went inside it was nearly empty. Michelle took a seat opposite Lily, and started to fill her plate. Lily couldn't help but think that there was something else wrong with Michelle. She then realized that she had to ask her friend what that little thing between her and Sirius was yesterday.

"Umm Michelle. Remember yesterday on the train when Sirius was perfectly nice to you for no certain reason." Michelle looked at her friend and nodded her head. "Well why was he being so nice to you?" Lily asked. Michelle shrugged.

"Dunno. You know what Sirius is like, only after one thing." Michelle said going back to her food. Ten minutes later the room was filling and nearly everybody was there. Claudia and Sophie sat down beside them.

"You guys are up early." Claudia observed. "Something exciting happening today?" Claudia smiled.

"It's a first day of term, what's not exciting?" Lily said mockingly excited and cheerful. Claudia and Sophie laughed at her. Professor McGonagall gave the group of girls a stern look then handed them their timetables and walked on. Lily looked at her timetable:

9.00

Transfiguration

11.00

Potions

1.00

Lunch

2.00

Charms

4.00

Arithmancy

Lily was happy with her timetable except for having Potions with the Slytherins. It was a reasonably good day, and the last lesson had James alone in it, which meant he would sit beside her because they were the only two Gryffindors brave enough to take that subject.

"Ugh. I have Divination last thing. I swear Professor Donnelly is crazy. I bet she'll predict something stupid like me having bad fashion sense. Like that would ever happen." Claudia laughed. Sophie and Lily chuckled. Michelle didn't say anything she just stared into space. The three girls looked at each other then at Michelle.

"Michelle you okay?" Lily asked waving a hand in front of her. Michelle blinked then looked at her friends and smiled weakly.

"Sorry guys, I just kind of spaced out." Michelle said nodding her head. She stood up and lifted her timetable.

"I'll see you guys in class. I need to go back to the dorm for something." Michelle said before she walked away. As Michelle walked out of the hall Sirius and the rest of the Marauders were walking in.

"Hey Michelle." Sirius smiled at her. Michelle didn't say anything she just kept walking. Sirius watched after her then looked at Lily who was watching Michelle go. Sirius then sat down with the rest of his friends and piled the food onto his plate. Lily looked at the plate that was Michelle's. The food hadn't been touched at all. There was definitely something wrong with her. And Lily was going to find out what. Meanwhile James was watching Sirius. He was deep in thought about something.

"Padfoot you alright?" James asked seriously. Sirius looked at his friend.

"I'm fine." Sirius smiled. Just then there was a fluttering from above. Everybody looked up to see over a hundred owls. A brown tawny owl landed in front of James, as did a white one. James recognized the white one as his parents. He offered both of the birds his bacon. He took the letter from the white owl and opened it.

Dear James,

How was the train ride? I hope you're on your best behavior and looking after Eve. You're mother says hi. Tell Sirius, Remus and Peter we said hello and tell your girlfriend we also said hello. I'll not mention her name as the Daily Prophet might intercept this and you know what they are like. One mention of your girlfriend's name and it'll be all over the papers. Anyhow I'm late for work; I'll see you soon.

Dad and Mum

James was happy that his dad hadn't written Lily's name because Sirius snatched the letter out of James' hand. James then took the paper from the second owl before the white owl flew off and went to his sister with another letter. James looked at the front page. There was a picture of his dad shaking hands with Dumbledore. 'Potter and Dumbledore make deal' the headline read. James shook his head. His father or some member of his family was always on the front page for some stupid reason. It wasn't like they were celebrities; James was just the son of the Minister of Magic, nothing important.

"Who's the girlfriend then?" Sirius asked curiously handing the letter to Remus.

"No one." James said turning to the last page where the Quidditch results were.

"Well, there must be someone if you took her home to Mummy and Daddy?" Remus mocked.

"Shut up." James snatched the letter before he could give it to Peter. "It was just some girl I brought to the house and they thought she was my girlfriend." James looked up to make sure nobody else had heard what he said but unfortunately Lily had heard that. She looked away from James.

James then went back to reading the results, regretting what he had just said. There was nothing he could do about it now. It had come out and he had said it. They had agreed to keep their relationship a secret; this was just the consequence of that promise.

"Look the Chudley Cannons got beat by the Milton Hornet's." James laughed. Sirius grabbed the paper out of his hand and looked at it. He sighed when he read the article. James was laughing at his friends' disappointed face. "210- 20. What a humiliating defeat for them. You owe me ten galleons pay up." James said holding out his hand. Sirius put the paper down and took some coins out of his pocket and handed it to James.

James laughed again. Remus shook his head in amusement. James looked down the table again to where Lily was sitting except this time Jordan was sitting there too. He had his arms around her and was talking to Claudia and Sophie about something; both girls were hanging on his every word. Lily however looked very bored.

"James you read this article?" Peter asked who had picked up the paper. James looked over his shoulder to look at the article. His eyes widened as he read it. 'Eve falls in love with the French' underneath the headline was a picture of Eve kissing a French guy. James looked straight a head.

"Eve!" He said sternly. Eve, who was trying to walk by him without noticing, ran out of the hall. James shook his head then stood up.

"See you guys in Transfig. I got to sort someone out." James said walking away. Lily watched James go after his sister. She shook her head in amusement. Half an hour later Lily was among the first people in Transfiguration. She sat in her usual seat at the front beside the window. The seat beside her was empty so that Michelle could sit down. As the class filled Michelle still wasn't to be seen, even the Marauders were there. Professor McGonagall walked in and went to her desk. Lily looked at her friends in alarm.

"Where's Michelle?" She mouthed to Claudia. Claudia shrugged also looked alarmed.

"Okay class, settle down. Today's transfiguration class will consist-" Professor McGonagall began. Michelle walking into the room interrupted her.

"Sorry I was late Professor. I had to direct a first year to there class." Michelle said walking to her seat.

"Make sure you don't make a habit of it." She said sternly. "As I was saying today's class will consist of reviewing previous topics. I want you to go into pairs and I want one person to take one of the Spiders from the side and transfigure it into a book. James I suggest you go with Peter." Professor McGonagall said before turning her back on the class. Lily quickly paired up with Michelle.

"Accio Spider." Lily said. The cage landed perfectly on her desk. Michelle smiled at her friend.

"Michelle, are you okay?" Lily asked after a while.

"I'm fine Lily! Jeez you would think you were my mother or something." Michelle smiled. She seemed much happier than before, Lily thought. Maybe it wasn't anything terrible.

When the class ended Lily had earned her house twenty points for a perfect book. Peter's, however… well let's just say he still was trying to catch the eight-legged book.

Lily walked arm in arm with Michelle down to the Potions dungeon. As usual, they had to wait outside for their teacher, Professor De Lacy, to come. The Gryffindors had Potions with the Slytherins, which was most disappointing.

As James walked down the corridor, Nott, Snape, Goyle and Crabbe started laugh. James knew why they were laughing. It was because of the article on Eve in the Daily Prophet. He knew exactly what to do to stop them from laughing. He went up to Chelsea Flynn and her group of friends.

"Hello ladies. How was everybody's summer?" James asked sweetly. The four girls went bright pink and smiled at James.

"It was very enjoyable." Kerry Bell said flirtatiously. Kerry and Chelsea were the perfect resemblance of a Barbie doll, they both had a great body, and long flowing blond hair and they had plastic between their ears. James thought they were pretty but nothing compared to Lily. James faked a flirtatious smile at her.

"Good. See you girls around. See you later Kerry." James winked at her then walked away. That had certainly stopped Nott and his cronies laughing. James knew that Snape fancied Kerry and it was very nice to see the look of envy on Snape's face when he talked to Kerry.

James hadn't realized that Lily had seen this. Lily was hurt but knew there was nothing she could do about it. James must feel terrible every time he sees me with Jordan, Lily thought to herself. She sighed and followed the rest of the class into the classroom when the teacher came.

Lily was sitting at a table with her friends. James and the Marauders were at the one beside them. Half an hour later Lily was adding ingredients to her Potions mix.

"What do I put in next?" Lily asked.

"This Blue stuff." Claudia said handing it to Lily, disgust on her face. Lily chuckled.

"That stuff would be haemophotin juice." James smiled at them. "Can I borrow your knife? Peter accidentally dropped ours into Nott's cauldron." James grinned evilly. Lily handed James the knife as James slipped something into her pocket unnoticed to anybody but Lily. Lily put her hand in her pocket and found a piece of paper in it. Lily sat down on her chair and opened the letter. She sat it on her lap so that nobody else would see it.

Meet me outside this class. Make sure you're the last out.

Lily looked at James who was watching her. She nodded her head then went back to work. When the class ended Lily told her friends that she had to talk to Professor De Lacy about something. Lily packed up very slowly and was the last to walk out of the classroom. Outside in the hallway nobody was about not even James. Lily walked towards the entrance hall but before she knew she was being pulled into a broom cupboard. James started kissing her passionately. When he pulled away he smiled down at her.

"Do you know how hard it was not being able to do that to you this morning?" James smiled at her.

"I can guess." Lily said quietly. James looked at her and tilted her head up so that she was looking into his eyes.

"What's wrong?" He asked her. Lily hesitated.

"I saw you with Kerry. I know I'm being stupid." Lily said looking at the ground.

"You are being stupid." James said. Lily looked at him. "Nothing is going on between Kerry and me. The only reason I was like that with her was to piss Snape off." James said. Lily smiled weakly. "Look Lily when we discussed this over the summer, we knew it was gonna be hard if we wanted to stay together and keep our normal lives as well." James said.

"I know, but I never thought it was gonna hurt this bad." Lily said putting her head on James's chest.

"I know." James said holding her close. He kissed the top of her head. "It'll be worth it in the end." He said quietly. Half an hour later Lily walked into the great hall and sat down beside her friends.

"What took you so long?" Sophie asked.

"I umm had to get something out of the library." Lily said thinking quickly. Lily looked round her and noticed that Kent; Sophie's boyfriend was sitting with them.

"Hey Kent." Lily said quietly. Kent smiled at her.

"Hey." He said. An arm wrapped round Lily's shoulder. Lily knew who it was.

"Hey Jordan." Lily said.

"Chick were where you? I've been waiting ages for you." Jordan said. Lily rolled her eyes and shrugged. She hated when Jordan called her 'Chick'

"Up at the tower." Lily said.

"I thought you said you were at the library?" Claudia asked.

"Umm, I was. I had to leave the book up to the tower." Lily smiled innocently.

"Well, hurry up and eat. I wanna go outside." Jordan said. Lily gritted her teeth then ate up. When she was finished she stood up, as did Jordan. He put his arm round Lily's shoulder.

"See you later guys." Jordan grinned. Lily rolled her eyes as Jordan steered her out of the hall. They walked outside and sat beside the lake. Lily looked around her and could see Sirius, Remus, James and Peter walking out of the forest. What where they up to? Probably another prank, Lily thought to herself. She watched James walk towards the castle then go inside. She sighed.

"What's wrong with you?" Jordan asked.

"Nothing." Lily said. She stared out across the lake.

"Good." Jordan said before leaning in and kissing her. After a while of making out the bell rang and Lily and Jordan walked towards their next class. Jordan stopped in the entrance hall and turned Lily towards him.

"I have Potions now. I'll see you at dinner." Jordan grinned then kissed her in front of everybody.

"That's it Jordie rub it in." a voice said. Lily pulled away from Jordan. She smiled at Sirius and the other three boys who were standing on the stairs. She looked at James for a split second longer then turned back to Jordan.

"I might be late down to dinner." Lily said before walking up the stairs. Jordan shrugged then walked towards the dungeons. Lily walked with the Marauders to their charm's class.

"So Lil-" Remus was interrupted by a punch in the arm by Lily. "Sorry, I forgot. Lily when are you dumping Jordan for me? I can't keep it a secret any longer." Remus grinned putting an arm round her shoulder. Lily smiled at him.

"Somehow, I don't think so." Lily smiled. Remus let go of Lily and pouted.

"Yeah, Remus, why would she need you when she has me?" James smiled wrapping his arm round Lily's waist.

"Yeah, I'm sorry Remus. James and I have been dating since like forever. And I'm not the kind of person who puts friends against friends." Lily smiled. Remus shrugged. They were standing outside Charms, Claudia, Michelle and Sophie was standing there. James let go of Lily's waist.

"It's okay. Claudia you love me right?" Remus winked putting an arm around her. Claudia smiled.

"In your dreams." Claudia smiled and walked away from him.

"Well I did actually have that dream." Remus smiled walking after her. Sirius and James busted out laughing.

"So Michelle, why'd you totally blank me this morning?" Sirius asked wrapping his arms round Michelle's waist. Michelle jumped away from him.

"C-cause." Michelle said. Sirius looked hurt by this. Michelle moved into the classroom with the rest of the students who were standing there.

Michelle, Lily, Sophie and Claudia took seats at the front whilst the Marauders took their usual seats at the back. Sirius sat deep in thought as the tiny teacher, Professor Flitwick, explained what they were doing that day. Why had Michelle been like that? He hadn't done anything wrong? He hadn't told anybody? So why was she being so weird round him? The only explanation Sirius could think of was 'Women are so complicated!'

When class ended Lily and James made there way towards Arithmancy, but not before stopping in a broom cupboard. When they got to class barely anyone was there. Lily sat at the back for a change beside the window. James sat on the other side of her. Slowly the class filled around them. Chelsea and her brainless friends walked in and sat in the seat in front of Lily. Kerry smiled at James. James just gave her a weak smile and went back to staring of into space. He was thinking about the first time he and Lily had met . . .

James was standing on the platform with his parents and his little sister. It was his first year at Hogwarts. He was very excited about going and couldn't wait to get onto the train. James' eyes wondered the crowds of people on the platform. He was looking for his best friend, Sirius Black, when he spotted a very pretty red head coming through the barrier. She looked very frightened of the prospect ahead. She made her way towards the train. James watched her the whole time.

"When your away, I'm gonna paint your room pink and make it into my own special Barbie house," James' sister, Eve, whispered into his ear. James didn't pay attention he was too busy staring at the red head.

"You do that." James said not taking his eyes of the girl. "Mum, I'm gonna go now, see you later bye." James said making his way towards the train. But before he could move an inch his mother wrapped her arms round him and hugged him tightly. James groaned and rolled his eyes.

"Now James, I've warned you before stay on your best behavior. I already know the tricks you could get up to from Thomas." His father said sternly, he then smiled, "but have fun." James smiled at his father then made his way towards the train. His trunk was already on the train so he didn't have to worry about it. He made his way towards the red head that was trying to pull the trunk onto the train.

"Let me help you with that." James smiled at her taking one end of the trunk.

"Thank you." The red head smiled. They got the trunk onto the train and into the closest empty compartment. The red head sat down.

"Thanks." She muttered again.

"No problem. I'm James, James Potter." James smiled holding out his hand.

"Lily Evans." Lily smiled shaking his hand. "You can sit down if you want." Lily said indicating to the seat opposite her.

"Thanks." James muttered as he moved out of the doorway and sat down.

"Is this your first year?" Lily asked.

"Yeah. Yours?" James asked. Lily nodded.

"I'm not really used to this world yet." Lily blushed. James smiled.

"Muggle born? It's okay. There are lots of others here as well." James said. Lily smiled at him. He is so cute! Lily had thought. I bet Sirius would get jealous if he saw me with her! James was thinking as well.

The compartment door opened and a black haired boy stood in the doorway. James smiled at the boy.

"'Bout time you got here. Come in. Lily this is my friend Sirius Black. Sirius meet the lovely Lily Evans." James introduced. Sirius walked in.

"Very charming to meet you Miss Lillian." Sirius said bending low and kissing her out stretched hand. Lily giggled at this.

"Oh get over yourself, Sirius." A female voice came from the doorway. Sirius looked up and smiled at the black haired girl.

"Oh, Michelle, love of my life. How are you?" Sirius said gripping her into a tight hug.

"Get off of me!" Michelle said pushing him away.

"Just trying to be polite." Sirius shrugged as he sat down beside James.

"So, I should take it that when someone throws a bucket of ice cold water over my head, they are being polite?" Michelle said folding her arms and tapping her foot. Sirius laughed.

"Ah, James you missed that one..." Sirius started to tell James what he had done to Michelle. Michelle just rolled her eyes and sat down beside Lily.

"Hi, I'm Michelle." Michelle smiled sticking out her hand.

"I'm Lily." Lily smiled taking her hand. "Are you and Sirius brother and sister?" Lily asked. Michelle laughed.

"Gladly no! I live beside James. And unfortunately Sirius just happens to be there all the time." Michelle said.

"Come on, Shelly you know you love living beside me." James butted in.

"Don't call me 'Shelly'. I'm not a bloody Barbie doll." Michelle said angrily.

"Could've fooled us." Sirius said quietly. Michelle was about to pounce on him when there was a knock on the door. Lily looked up to see a boy with sandy colored hair.

"Hi Remus." She smiled.

"Hey Lily." Remus smiled at her.

"Come in. This is James, Sirius and Michelle. Everybody this is Remus." Everybody smiled at him. Sirius and James moved over so he could sit down.

"How's your arm?" Remus asked as he sat down. Lily blushed.

"Oh, it's much better thanks." Lily said.

"What happened?" James asked curiously.

"I accidentally bumped into to her in Diagon Alley. She kind of fell and sprained her wrist." Remus said.

"I was too busy looking round the place. Remus was kind enough to take me into that pub and get someone to look at it." Lily smiled at him. "Thank you again by the way." Lily said. Remus blushed.

"Okay enough of all this niceness." Remus said, "Which house does everybody wanna be in?" Remus asked changing the subject.

"Gryffindor!" Sirius, James and Michelle said at the same time. Everyone started laughing.

"What about you Remus?" Michelle asked.

"Gryffindor would be good, but if not that then probably Ravenclaw." Remus shrugged.

"What about you Lily?" James asked. Lily looked at him confused. "Oh, sorry I forgot. There are four houses that everybody is split up into in first year. Gryffindor is obviously the best. Ravenclaw isn't so bad, Hufflepuff, well you could do a lot better and then there is Slytherin, you don't even wanna go there." James shuddered. Lily smiled at him and shrugged.

"I don't know much about them, but I suppose Gryffindor sounds good." Lily said. The chatter continued like this for an hour. Lily seemed really nice, James had thought, but knowing Michelle she would have Lily turned against him and Sirius within a day. James smiled at this. A chase, he didn't mind that.

That was the first day he had met Lily and Remus. Remus was now one of his most trusted companions and Lily...well Lily was his soul mate.

"James! James Potter?"
