HI! Sorry it has took me this long to update! But cheers for the views/reviews etc! Love you all xx R&R x

(Btw Sirius has told Remus and Peter that Lily fancies James)

Sometimes odd things happened. Sometimes extremely odd things happened. Other times unbelievably odd things happened. Occasionally earth shatteringly, ridiculous events occur and all people can do is stare, wondering if this event signifies the end of the Universe. An event like this happened. It continued to happen every day in the last two weeks.

Lily Evans had become friends with the Marauders. But not just friends that chatted in the corridor, friends who sat together at meals and spent most of their free time together. The first day this happened was a Friday; it was an unbelievably average Friday in completely normal January. Until the Head Girl walked into the Great Hall, surrounded by the Marauders, all of them smiling and laughing. Half the school nearly died of shock, including some teachers, who all knew of their Seventh Years turbulent past. They had all grown used to James and Lily being friendly, occasionally spending time together, but for Lily Evans to walk to breakfast with Sirius Black's arm around her shoulders, making her cry with laughter…that was freakishly bizarre.

Lily, now two weeks after, sat curled up in the Head's Common Room, savouring the peace that was nonexistent with her prankster friends. Barely seconds of silence would pass before Sirius would launch into a story of some madness or one of them would hit another with some nearby object. Generally annoying each other and being unnaturally loud appeared to be part of the Marauder's oath. She smiled fondly, she had formed a close bond with all of them; surprisingly it was not Remus she felt closest to, even though they used to get along despite her hatred of his friends. It was Sirius Black, who always seemed to be there when she felt like stabbing a certain Quidditch-playing-super-hot-awesome-Head-Boy's girlfriend with a butter knife to whisper some beautiful advice. Some of her personal favourites were: "Pull it together, Bitch! Don't let the hoe grind you down." "A butter knife? Who are you kidding? Most pathetic murder weapon ever." "Don't bother, Ginger. She probably bleeds lube and I'm guessing you don't want to smell like 'Sexy Cherry' for the next week."

The memory of the lube comment made her choke on her drink with laughter.

This is what hanging around with lunatics do to you. You end up sitting on your own reading Quidditch Today laughing at your Man Whore friend's lube comment.

Shaking her head, she flipped the page idly, looking for something she understood. The only reason she was reading it is that she nearly gave Sirius and James a heart attack when she asked if Quaffles and Bludgers were the same thing. Even if they were the Beater and Chaser for the Gryffindor, there was no reason to attack her with a rapid fire of Quidditch knowledge that ended with Remus groaning and telling them to 'Leave the poor girl alone. Just give her Quidditch Today and bother her some other time.'

Lily was fairly embarrassed about her ignorance of the wizard sport, yet despite her attempts to try and learn the different rules, she just went for the tactic of 'Scream wildly for Gryffindor'.

Ooh. I like this page. Lily almost drooled at the shirtless picture of some hot famous Seeker (She only knew this from the title). This was the sort of Quidditch she could get into…most defiantly.

"Kieran Nightly. Bloody good Seeker."

"What?" Lily barley took her eyes of the picture to register James' presence.

"That is Nightly. He plays for Puddlemere United, which is my team. He has caught the snitch in the last 14 games straight and if the Chasers pulled their fingers out, we could easily win the league with him. World class he is." James paused, and then smirked at Lily's blatant staring, "Of course you know that from 'reading' the article, don't you?"

"Shut up." She launched the magazine at his head, "I literally don't understand anything so I have to look at this pictures," she winked, "Especially ones of fit shirtless guys."

"Lily Evans. I do think we are having a bad effect on you." He replied, feigning shock.

"I do have to agree, James Potter." Lily giggled slightly, causing James to smirk more, "Sod off, Potter. Anyway, how come you're back so early? I thought you said you were going out with Danielle tonight?" She tried to ignore the way her name left a foul taste in her mouth.

James flopped down on the sofa dramatically, and turned onto his back, "I just don't get it."

"You don't get what exactly?" I hate having to be the considerate friend. Screw my niceness.

"Well, you know that feeling when you have cocked up massively and landed yourself in a massive pile of shit…that's me right now."

"That's odd. I thought we were in the common room sitting on furniture, not in faeces."

"Ha bloody ha. You know what I mean right?"

"Not really, James." Lily rubbed her fingers against her forehead, "What exactly have you messed up?"

"Danielle."

"OH MY GOD! HAVE YOU GOT HER PREGENENT? YOU STUPID ARSE! YOU HAVE RUINED YOUR LIFE AND HERS! HOW COULD YOU BE SO DUMB TO GET A GIRL YOU HAVE BEEN DATING FOR LIKE TWO MINTUES KNOCKED UP?" Lily screamed hitting him repeatedly with a cushion.

"OW OW OW! Fuck sake, Lily! I haven't got her pregnant! Do you think I'm retarded or something? If I have knocked her up, I would be crying in a dark room."

Lily burst out laughing, clutching her weapon to her stomach, "Just the thought of you…and Danielle…baby…" She could barely talk she was laughing do hard.

"I was trying to say that…. I think dating Danielle was a mistake." YES YES YES THANK YOU, JESUS!

"Really? Why?" I am a terrific actress, I actually sound concerned for Dames/Janielle's fate.

"We're just so different…like I don't care if a girl really doesn't care if she looks a mess at times, actually I think it is really sexy. But she literally has a pair of false eyelashes that she specifically wears at night! Also she always wants to be center of attention and have all eyes on her, but it is just awkward trying to snog a girl with 50 people staring at you. We are just different and she is kind of starting to piss me off a bit."

I am wearing sweatpants, a tank top and my hair looks like a bird nest…does this mean he finds me sexy? OH MY LORD.

"I get what you mean. How is she annoying you?" Because she is a dumb whore.

James rubbed his hands against his face, trying to find the right words, "Well…she is always bad mouthing you and the guys. I never say anything about her friends, yet she seems to have some weird hatred of all you. She calls Peter a 'arse kissing germ', Remus a 'gay nerd', Sirius a 'dickhead who loves himself more than he loves screwing over girls' and you…. well she calls you a 'stuck-up cow who wouldn't know a good time if it shagged her'. I got really pissed off when she was saying all that and she was acting all sorry but I know it is complete bullshit. Sirius hates her and tells me to dump her, Remus and Peter agree but they phrased it less harshly. I just don't want a big Break-Up, and I know she will turn it to a massive drama. What do you think, Lily? I mean you're a girl, how do I dump her?"

Lily smiled, wanting to laugh at the irony that she had to tell the guy she was in love with how to break up with his girlfriend, "I think you just need to do it, the longer you date her the harder it is to pull off the metaphorical bandage. Take her aside, make up something to make her feel better and then walk way a free guy."

"Metaphorical bandage? I like it." He smirked sexily, causing Lily to nearly hyperventilate

"Right. So by lunchtime tomorrow, you will be single again? Agreed?"

"Agreed."

*SATURDAY, MORNING*

"I swear to God! He promised he was going to ditch her today!"

"Bollocks! James specializes in keeping terminal relationships, he will bitch out definitely."

"No way! I believe in him!"

"Aw, how adorable. Evans is so in love, she can not even entertain the possibility of darling Prongs being anything less than perfect." Sirius smirked in the special Marauder way.

"Shut up! He is coming over. Does my hair look ok?"

"I literally couldn't give a shit. Ow! There is no need to be violent! OW! Fine, you look so sexually attractive; I want to hump you like a horny dog. Happy? OW!"

Lily ran her hands through her hair and smiled shyly at James, who looked confused at the Head Girl attacking his best friend.

"Morning, Lily, Padfoot. I feel like this will be a wonderful Saturday." He grinned as he piled his plate with a typical teenage boy portion.

"Are you going to dump the whore or not?"

"Yeah, mate." He barely look up from his bacon, he was obviously used to his Co-Marauder's lack of tack, "Pass the eggs, Lily."

"I bloody told you!" Lily grinned as she happily passed James the bowl of scrambled eggs.

"Shut it, Ginger. When, Prongs? And what did Lily hit you with to knock some sense into your thick skull?"

"As soon as I see her, and a cushion repeatedly."

"I do hate to ask, but why was she hitting you with a cushion?"

"Well, Moony, Lily may have thought I knocked up Danielle…"

*SATURDAY, MIDDAY*

Lily desperately tried to ignore the clock and concentrate on her Potions essay. Her brain decided not to cooperate and think about awfully distracting things.

I wonder if Danielle is crying now. No, she will be fake crying, screaming and desperately trying to convince James not to leave her. He deserves better than her. I hope she doesn't scratch his face with one of her cheap, fake claws.

My brain seriously needs to shut up. All this thinking about their break up is going to drive me insane.

I wonder if she will…

Lily groaned out loud and ran her hands through her hair in frustration.

"Lily? Why are you groaning over an essay?"

"Sorry, Remus. My brain is just irritating me."

"Your brain is irritating you?" Peter looked up from his intense game of Wizards Chess with Sirius, "Is that possible?"

"Lily is a girl, they say crazy shit that usually makes no sense. It is best not to question it."

"Sod off, Black."

"Lily, why is your brain irritating you?" Remus shut his textbook and rubbed her arm comfortingly.

She groaned again, "It can't stop think about 'The Break Up', and it is driving me up the wall." She buried her face in a cushion, "I despise myself."

At this point, all three boys looked terrified and none of them could think up an adequate response to a hormonal teenage girls declaration of self-hatred. So they decided going to lunch would solve everything. They walked in silence, occasionally glancing at each other, trying to wordlessly decide who would brave speaking to Lily first.

James strolled confidently down the corridor; feeling as if a dragon sized weight had been lifted of his shoulders. He had broken up with Danielle. Yes, she had screamed and cried but after calling him a 'heartless bastard', she left to go and bitch about him to her friends. He didn't care that she would be acting like he had broken her heart for the next few weeks and bad mouthing him while desperately trying to claw her way back into his life. He was free.

FREEDOM! I don't think I have ever been this happy to ditch a girl, even if she was pretty hot. Why the hell did I ever think she would be the person I would want to date? I blame it on temporary madness caused by grief. Or trying to hard to forget about Lily.

I tried so hard for her to be the opposite of Lily, so I could completely forget about her. To be fair she was, Danielle is not fiery, stubborn or secretive about her feelings, unlike Lily. But she doesn't have any of her good points; she is selfish, where Lily would do anything for anyone, she is ridiculously materialistic, she loved to cause a scene and she never makes my feel the way that bloody Lily Evans does.

James ran his hands through his hair and tried to squash the feeling his feelings. Then he saw his friends staring at each other and Lily, looking terrified. She looked frustrated as she rubbed her fingers against her temple; she always did that when someone/something bothered her. He grinned; he used to make her do that practically everyday.

"Something bothering you, Evans?"

She looked up and grinned back at him, "Did you do it?"

"Hell yeah! I'm free!" he called back. The other Marauders cheered as Lily clapped her hands together and squealed. He jogged towards them, grinning widely.

"Bloody fantastic, Prongs" Sirius thumped his back in brotherly way and ruffled his hair.

"Don't touch my hair, arsehole."

"Aw! Jamsie doesn't like my touching his hair." He pulled James into a headlock and rubbed his knuckles against his head.

"Get off me! Bloody stupid prat!" James punched and kicked him until Remus hit Sirius round the head.

"You two are just too cute!" Lily giggled.

"Lily, we know you find us devilishly handsome and unbelievable fit. Especially me." James grinned once more at her, winked mischievously and put his arm around her shoulder. Much to his confusion, she turned bright red and mumbled something incoherent, causing the others to snicker quietly.

Why do I have be in love with James Potter? I seriously loathe myself.
