Item #2: An old potions test
"Good job everyone! Most of you did very well on your first potions test. However, only one of you, Miss Evans, recieved an O." Professor Slughorn beamed at her, "Congratulations Miss Evans."
James watched as Lily was congratulated by her friends, and glared at all the Slytherins who were sneering at Lily. As Professor Slughorn passed out the papers, he saw Lily take hers, and put it in her bag.
"Nice job Mr. Potter, just like your father in potions. Charles is a brilliant wizard." Professor Slughorn said, "Why don't you come to my Slug Club meeting, and while you're at it, inform Miss Evans she's invited as well." James nodded, and looked at his grade, an A. Oh well, at least it's not a P.
"Whatcha get James? I got an A, you?" Sirius asked from the seat next to him.
"An A too." Sirius grinned back, and screamed "LUNCH!" as the bell rang.
James quickly packed away his notebook, and ran over to Lily. "Hey, Lily, Slughorn said to tell you there's a Slug Club meeting tonight."
"Ok, thanks." Lily slung her bag over her shoulder, nearly whacking James in the face, and left with her friends.
James stood there, gazing after her, until he saw a piece of parchment under the desk. Bending down, he picked it up. Lily's test paper. He knew he should give it back to her, he knew he should run after her, but he didn't. He carefully smoothed our the parchment, rolled it up, and stuck it in his bag. He'd put it in his trunk, his second item of Lily.
