“A makeover? The last time I did anything of the sort… well, it’s better if we don’t talk about it. I don’t want to leave you looking like Peeves, I’m possibly the worse person for the job.” Greta commented while putting away the stack of leftover cards. “If it’s just a trim then maybe yes.”

“you can’t start a story and not finish it” Lily teased, taking out a small brush from her bag to start managing her hair. “a trim would do me wonders, I’ve never lost at this game as bad as I did today.”

“i did?” he perked up at the mention of him making something better. usually he only made things worse, especially with lily. “no, thank you.” by now snape was smiling. “what… what do you want to do now?”

“yes you did, don’t sound so surprised. it was an honor losing to you, just look at my hair,” Lily said, showing him her burned tips. “thank you first” she grinned getting up from her seat. “let’s go for something simple, how about a walk?”

He felt his eyes widen when she asked him the question. In return, a thousand others came crashing through his head wanting to know how she knew. Was is that easy to tell? He definitely didn’t have it written all over his face but… how? “I- what do you mean?” James started, knowing quite well that he couldn’t lie to her. Looking into her eyes he simply nodded and sat back. “Is it weird that I’m telling you this?”

Lily felt her heart sink into her stomach, she had been harboring feelings for him longer than she could remember but apparently some things were not meant to be. “a little?” she said, rolling her hair around her finger as she did whenever she was nervous. “listen, it’s not a bad thing that you like her. it’s good, so there’s no reason for you to feel weird or out of place because of it.” she let her hair drop and forced a smile. all she had left to do was being supportive.

“I’m not making this any easier, right?” He mused. Yeah, he had been feeling out of it but he was now just rambling and his rambles never led to anything good. “If I’m honest I’m just surprised you haven’t told me to get lost yet, and… I don’t know I just wanted to talk. Just talk and maybe figure out how to get back to my usual self.”

“not at all, James.” she offered a smile and let her shoulders drop. Lily was having a hard time understanding what he meant about not feeling himself, as far as she could tell he was acting the same as always.. but then it hit her. “you really like her, don’t you?”

[levansily]

“At least your hair is still better than mine, yeah?” He teased with a grin. “Erm.. thanks for indulging me I guess.”

“always better.” she grinned. “I’ve only played a couple of times, always saw this game as barbaric but you made losing fun, so thank you.”

“You can’t give up just yet, I was just starting to win.” Greta said, motioning to her now beyond dead ends. The game never failed to amuse her even if she was horrible at it. “I can’t just say I won if you surrendered.”

“no, really I’ll pass, anymore damage and I may have to cut it.” saying what the outcome would be gave her an idea and she grinned with enthusiasm. “so here’s an idea what if you help me cut my hair? I’ll play one more round if you say yes.”

[levansily]

“as exciting as it was watching two of these exploding snaps get me, I really am not ready to have one more explode on me” Lily said while glancing down at her half burned hair. “so, let’s say you won”

Remus nodded, not looking up from his book. “Yeah, that’s a great idea, you should definitely do that.” he muttered, flipping the page. He actually hadn’t heard a single word that the other had said, opting instead for just agreeing preemptively. He glanced up at them and then down at his book before double taking. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

[levansily]

“Remus,” Lily said waving a hand in front of his face. “did you even hear a word I said?” she chuckled, shaking her head as she was unable to remember the last time she had seen him that distracted. “I mentioned possibly skipping Charms, do you really think that’s a great idea?”

[levansily]

“Impatient? Me?” He said pointing at himself before waving the comment off with his hand. If he was impatient he would have completely give up on her A LONG, long time ago… but there he was, still being friendly and accepting all insults and rants she threw his way. James remained quiet, though, as he took in every word she said. She was saying Sirius way too much and after spotting her cheeks blushing he wondered if maybe she really meant what she was saying. “Right, I agree.” He finally said after a few minute of silence. “I’m not sure if I’m happy. I like to think I’m at least 5% better looking than Sirius…”

Lily wanted to argue that one more time but there was no point. He probably had a good reason that’d excuse his impatience. “listen, you are both attractive in different ways and I really don’t think the whole reason behind you rushing me to finish my homework has anything to do with this, so what is it?” she asked, finally more calm.

“With the whole Musical thing taking up time, and quidditch practice, I feel like there’s barely anytime left to finish my homework.” she said with a sigh as she plopped down on one of the empty chairs in the library. “I am so going to fail Potions this year.”

[levansily]

“I couldn’t agree more,” Lily said, taking her time to place down her books, remove her bag and finally sit down. “but I’m not too worried about potions, I’m more worried about arithmancy, the class is a bore and I can’t really remember why I thought it was a good idea.”

“Damn, maybe I should listen next time the Professor says not to provoke them too much..” Todd mumbled to the person who was walking next to him as they left Care of Magical Creatures and began the tread back to the castle. He was nursing the burn on his lower abdomen from one of the Blast-Ended Skrewts which had already began swelling up in the matter of seconds. 

[levansily]

“there’s that and the little fact that it’s supposed to be care of magical creatures, not how to provoke magical creatures.” Lily said with a light chuckle. “you are lucky it was just a small burn, do you need help with that?”

[smadfoot]

“I miss my boobs.”

[levansily]

“is that really all you miss from being a girl?” lily smiled shaking her head. “you definitely missed all the fun.”

she had played a bad move, of course transfigurations was his best subject, and of course he liked to brag about it. the idea of writing two essays had not been particularly appealing to her, but then again she already had enough to deal with. “you should really let me finish. it’s rude to distract others even if you are done and I just don’t know what to tell you about your existential crisis.”

“But did it cross your mind that I could help you? Or are you too proud to receive my help?” He changed the conversation all at once when she mentioned not being finished yet. To him that was surprising, but then again he had been doing quite well with his work as of late. Maybe he was maturing after all. “You could tell me that I’m doing good, that I’m not as obnoxious, that I’m the best looking Gryffindor.”

[levansily]

“I’m not proud, you are just impatient.” she said under her breath. if she had to be honest with herself she wouldn’t have minded his help but accepting meant never getting him to shut up. Lily rolled her eyes at him, furiously writing away her last sentence before her train of thought crashed. “no, you are not. Sirius is, you know this, I know this, let’s just more on from the who is most attractive, besides everyone in Gryffindor is some degree of attractive but if you are still going to base everything in looks then Sirius. Just Sirius.” she felt her cheeks redden when she was done but she didn’t look away from him. he infuriated her but she couldn’t force herself to walk away. “happy?”

[j-prongs]

James let out a scream louder than a banshee at the sight of her reflection. She looked both mesmerized and perplexed but her horror subsided as soon as she was done screaming.

“Just kidding, I still look and sound incredible.”

[levansily]

“was screaming truly necessary?” Lily said shaking her head while she lowered her hands from her ears. she couldn’t help but smile with the girl who she recognized as James. she looked excited and her smile was contagious. “at least your confidence didn’t change.”

“Please come up with a more believable lie.” he teased. “What better way can you spend your time than talk to me?”

“sure, I haven’t received a christmas present from you yet and I am still waiting.” lily grinned, moving over so he could sit down. “how are you, Ted?”

[levansily]

“Oh… sorry, I didn’t realise I started reading aloud,” Leo spoke with a sheepish smile.

“I tend to do the same,” Lily smiled back, feeling bad for having lost her patience. “sorry.”

Andromeda glanced at the younger student that Lily had spoken to and slowly nodded before turning her attention back to her book. “They always get loud around this time, you can tell they are over classes.”

“me too actually,” Lily said, giving the younger students one more glare before going back to paying attention to Andromeda. “I just want you to finish the story, and they are distracting, have you talked to Rabastan at all since getting back ?”
