{Lily}
"The things i do for you, Lily" james muttered as he closed the door to the greenhouse.
I nervously laughed looking out into the crisp winter air, looking up at the never ending darkness called the sky, scattered with small sparkling, crystal looking stars- Such a contrast to day time sky. "Do you know the time?" i asked james as i began to walk around the corner.
"Er, yeah" he tugged at his long sleaved button up shirt, showing a chunky silver man's watch, looking far to big for him, i didn't question as i felt there might be some sort of setimental value to it, "it's seven thirty"
"She said she would only keep us for twenty minutes" i said, feeling irritated that she actually kept us back for half an hour rather than the twenty minutes she said, and then she made it seem that she had let us go early!
"Yes, you're right, she did" He frowned, "The cheek she has." He rolled his hazel eyes and proceeded to walk.
...............................................
after about ten minutes of walking, we both hurried into the common, feeling slightly cold as it was the middle of Febuary, i rubbed the sides of my arms, trying to warm myself up, realising it was no use so i just decided to walk over near the fireplace.
after about thirty, short but warming seconds infront of the fire, i turned to James, catching him staring at me, i tired to pretend i didnt notice so i didnt embarress him, "well, im going to go to see the others up in the dorm, and probably do some studying," i paused, about to fo something i had never properly done before, obviously i had said thanks to him for small things like opening door and things, but i had never actually said thankyou to him. "I just want to say thanks for what you did today, i mean, it probably doesnt mean anything to you, as you're always in detention, but thanks for taking the blame for me, james" I smiled at him.
"Well it wasnt like I really had that much of a choice, Evans" he said, diverting back to rerfering to me by my last name, I didn't quite understand what strategy he was going hy,was it is usual snide remarks, portraying his arrogant side, or was he going by the more honest, nicer, almost james that I had grown accustom to in the kast few hours or so. I gave him a questioning look, so he continued, me bracing myself for what he was going to say. "Seeing as you are the perfect modal student, they would of believed what you would of said anyway, no matter what, and you would probably land the blame on me, seeing as your the slytherin lover, teachers pet" he shrugged and walked away, as if he had just bid me good night.
He was not getting away with that. "How dare you say that!"I crossed the room to where he was now standung, just in front of the stone spiral staircase, "you don't even know me, yet of course, because you must feel superior to be able to judge those bellow you, it must feel casual for you, almost normal!"
At first his face turned to apologetic and somewhat remorseful, but he soon recovered, firing back at me. "Maybe I don't know you, so you're right, I shouldn't judge you, but I have the intelligence to be able to judge a slytherin, and those who make friends with them, so, again, your easy to judge, they say friends and family can be one of the most influential figure in someone's life, so obviously you sucking up to a good for nothing slytherin... well Snape's traits must of rubed on to you" if it's an argument he wants, it's an argument he will get.
"You're making it sound like all slytherins are the same! They are people, potter! Not just some object that is identical to the next" I raised my voice. Filling my lungs up with the most amount of air I could, that was surprisingly a lot.
"They might as well be all the same" he muttered. I growled in annoyance,how could he say that!
"I bet that it's just because," I paused, swallowing, "this is all because Lord Voldemort wa-" I started, being interrupted by himy once again, just like the Many other times he had today.
"DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT NAME, LILY EVANS" he bellowed, giving me the exact opposite reacton to what I thought he would give. I was expecting him to be scared, hushing me not to say the name. Sure, the subject was a bit touchy with everyone, but james' reaction was definatly different, almost over the top.
James and I had a kind of stare off, widening our eyes, staring deep into eachothers eyes, he was the first to break the stare. "Bye, lily" he said gruffly and exited the room, stopping up the stairs, leaving me alone. I stared at where he was for a few seconds, still stunned by his sudden out burst, I huffed to myself, shaking my head and beginning to walk up the stairs, ready to go to my own dorm.
All the way all I could think of was his overreaction, and with that, came the guilt, I shouldn't of mentioned you know who's name. It was a low move.
I opened the door to my dorm, being greeted by the high scream if Alice shouting my name as if she hasn't seen me in ten years. "Lily!" she came over and gave me a hug, like she normally did.
"Are you okay, did you have an argument with your lickle boyfwiend?" she tantalised.
"Shut up... you heard all of that?" I didn't think we were shouting that loud.
"I think the all of the gryffindor dorm rooms did, darling"
"More like the whole if Hogwarts" Alice said, not making me feel better at all.
"What did you say to him, lily? he sounded beyond mad" Marlene raised her eyebrows, repositioning herself on the bed to face me.
He just infuriates me, that's all you need to know" they didn't need to be aware of my low move.
They nodded and nothing more was said on the subject.

PS: you might notice this one is in Lily's POV, even though I intended each chapter to alternate between james' POV and Lily's POV. But last chapter was lily as well. But I realised this just as I finished writing. And I am not rewriting the while thing :).
