Showdown in the Common Room
Lily ran up to the common room, brandishing her wand. Now all that remained of this stupid charade was to deal with James Potter. Sure, those new kids were involved too, but Harry didn't seem very willing and Hermione, well, fitting in new schools was hard and if someone like James was nice to you maybe you'd do things you normally wouldn't.

But James, oh James. His stupid lies and his stupid... face and stupid everything. The sad thing was it worked. She had that one conversation with him and now he kept guilt tripping her with accidentally killing Harry. It wasn't like she had done anything terribly stupid, but she still chided herself. Plus, it was his fault Severus wasn't talking to her.

The door burst open dramatically, and she hoped James was in there when she started yelling. "James Potter!"
