Muddled Magic

Who: Lily, James
Where: Potions classroom
When: Friday evening
Rating: PG

Status: Closed, completed
Summary: While daydreaming and working on an extra-credit potion, Lily inadvertently creates a great deal of smoke. While chasing it out of the potions classroom, she encounters one James Potter who comes in to keep her company while she tries the potion again. She asks why he's there, reasoning he was trying to nick something from what should have been an empty classroom, though when James confesses he was trying to make a love potion for McGonagall, Lily doesn't believe him. Still, the topic shifts to love potions, his advances on her, and the upcoming Hogsmeade trip. Once she's done with her potion, Lily allows James to escort her back to the tower, whereupon they share a goodnight kiss before retreating to their respective dorms.

When: Near the end of class (2 PM or thereabouts)
Rating: PG, angst

Status: Closed, completed
Summary: While studying the bit of potion she's about to turn in, Lily is startled by Severus commenting on her potion. After a few cool snarks at one another, Lily mentions the unsigned comments in her journal and asks him to help her find out who was behind it. The conversation circles predictably if obliquely toward Death Eaters and how the comments likely aren't a joke.

As they continue to talk, they're both beset with conflicting feelings as old habits war with new grudges. As they head out of class, Severus offers her another warning about trusting death eaters, and she asks if she shouldn't trust him. When he replies that he doesn't know, she parts company with him, though he comes to find her. He assures her she can trust him before they head - separately - to their next class.
