AN: So basically, I had a few ideas running around my head, but none of them were long enough for a full story so I've decided to combine them into one 6 chapter set of what are pretty much drabbles. They're all going to be short, some shorter than others, so I'm hoping to update once every 1-3 days (I'm really busy right now with sorority stuff so we'll see how that goes). And I know there are a ton of "[#] times [something happened] and 1 time [something else happened] stories, but I just wanted to test out my own spin on it. Oh, and I don't own any of Harry Potter or anything related to it.

"Psst, Evans. Hey! Evans!" James whispered at the red-haired girl in front of him.

He had been trying for the past five minutes to get her attention, but to no avail.

Professor Binns was droning on in the front of the class, talking about some revolution or another, so he didn't notice when James began tossing tiny balls of paper at her back in an attempt to make her turn around.

He had just enlisted Sirius's help when she whipped her head around, her eyes set in an angry glare and hissed, "What do you want?"

"I've got a question," James replied, leaning forward in his seat a little.

Her eyes narrowed even more and James was struck, not for the first time in his five months of knowing her, that she possessed almost impossibly green eyes. They were quite strange, creepy almost... yet somehow, not...

"Potter?" she snapped her fingers in front of his face. "Can you hurry up? I'm trying not to miss this lecture so I really don't have time to watch you sitting here doing nothing."

"Right. Yeah. I did have a question for you-"

"Before you go any further, I warn you: if you're about to ask me another stupid question like 'Why is your hair red' like you did last week, I swear I will hex you."

James scoffed. "You don't know any hexes."

"I'm a fast learner," she replied.

James, finding himself at a loss regarding how to respond to that, simply ignored her comment and said, "Anyway, I needed to borrow a quill from you."

"Why not ask one of your mates? I'm sure they have extras."

"Well I could ask them, but I already know them pretty well, and as fellow Gryffindors, don't you think we should be making an effort to get to know each other?"

"And you think the middle of a lecture is the perfect time for House bonding?"

"I think the middle of a boring lecture is, yeah."

Lily rolled her eyes.

"Well I happen to not have a spare, so I've nothing for you," she said.

She turned back in her seat, but only ten seconds later, she had twisted around to face James again. "And you know, even if I had one, I wouldn't give it to you."

"Why not?" James asked, the offense he felt clear on his face.

Smirking ever so slightly, Lily leaned in and whispered, "Because you've got a quill tucked right behind your ear."
