James and Lily walked back to the common room in silence.
"Okay, what's up? You've been giving me the cold shoulder all night." James stepped in front of his girlfriend.
"Why did you want to come tonight?" She asked.
"What?"
"You've always said the Slug Club was stupid--"
"It is."
Lily fixed him with a look. "Then why tonight?" He shrugged. "Did you know Severus was going to be there?"
"No and it's not my fault Borage offered me that apprenticeship."
"You hate potions."
"So? Lily do you know how huge it would be to be to be Libatius Borage's first apprentice in ten years?"
"Yes. Look, James...I just need some fresh air, okay? I'll meet you in the common room."
James frowned. "Are you okay?"
"Yes, sorry... I'm just a bit hot." She kissed the corner of his mouth.
He watched her walk back down the corridor before turning to the portrait.
