{T.I.M.E.}For some{L.A.T.E.} talking

[Lily Potter]

Lily laughed at Zane's comment. "Well, if you are seventy, you hide your age well." she teased, laughing softly at her joke. She saw Zane looking over her shoulder, but didn't think she should look. "Miss Lily? What do you think I am, twenty?" she snickered. Before she knew what happened, she felt a tug on her hair. When she turned around, one of her stalker boys was running away with three strands of her long red hair. "What in the bloody hell!" she hissed, looking back at Zane. When she saw the satisfied look on his face, she laughed. "What? Think that will affect me?" she asked, amused.

[Zane Lestrange]

"Thanks Lily, well it does take a lot of time to keep it a secret" He laughed along with her until his saw the stalker boy making his apporach. "You will be soon Lily, it's not that far away." He laughed when she turned back around before saying, "seriously you don't know how long they've been planning that. It's been quite entertaining to watch but hey, I guess they succeeded in the end. It might do, you never know." The stalker boy had returned to the opposite corner of the common room, brandishing the red hairs like they were a trophy of some kind. "That might keep them quiet for a while, mind you..."

[Lily Potter]

Lily frowned. "You knew about that, the whole time! You just didn't tell me! Oh, Zane..." she muttered, pointing a accusing finger at him. She sighed, letting her hand fall to her lap once again. "I can honestly not believe it took them that long to run up and pull my hair. I mean, really?" she said, a some-what mocking smile on her face. "Y'know, I happen to have five years before I'm twenty, thank you very much. As for you, if you are keeping that secret, good job and good luck. You never know when someone will find out Mr. Zane Lestrange is seventy." she laughed.

[Zane Lestrange]

Zane smiled sheepishly as Lily told him off. Typical Lily, she's like a mini Rosie. "Wow five whole years Lils, that really isn't a long time believe me. Let's put this in perspective shall we, I've got three years until I'm twenty, unless you still believe I'm seventy..." He laughed again before he changed the topic. "So any ideas on tactics for the upcoming match?" Lily always seemed to have good ideas, mind you the rest of the team did too.

[Lily Potter]

Lily grinned at Zane as he kept up the whole, 'Lily thinks I'm seventy' concept. She winked at him,. something she did quite often. She was a winker. "Yes, Zane, you pasted seventy many years ago, well if you ask me." she teased. Her eyes lite up at the talk of Quidditch. She did love the sport so much. "Ah. Well, I haven't had any time to think, with all my homework. Erm, sorry." she sighed, fiddling with a strand of her red hair. "What about you? I know you've over done yourself again, Zane."

[Zane Lestrange]

"Thanks Lily," he said quietly as he shook his head. " We need loads more practices, I know we are the best team in the whole school but we certainly can't get complacent. For the matches against Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, I was thinking, concentrate the main force with the attack and then Teddy and Rosie will just have to be the best beaters in the school and stop the others from scoring and catching the snitch. For Slytherin...I have no idea." Since the incident at the Summer Ball, which everyone had now forgiven him for but still teased him about at regular intervals, Zane's mind had been a complete shambles with anything to do with Miss Charlotte Crenge. Very complicated and not something he would forget in a hurry.

[Lily Potter]

Lily watched Zane as he spoke of his ideas for the Quidditch games. She smiled when he got to Slytherin. "For Slytherin, I say we kick butt. Thats what I would do. No, but hit them where it hurts y'know? You hit Malfoy number two with bludger, Malfoy number one will go crazy. It will throw him off to see her hurt, even in the slightest way. As for the rest of them, Charlotte will be your problem, Mr. Lestrange. Thats all I have and it came off the top of my head. Sorry it sucked." she grinned, winking at Zane when she spoke of Charlotte Crenge.

[Zane Lestrange]

"Sounds like a good plan..." he started to say until he saw the wink, "oh I wish you guys would stop doing that..." He looked at Lily with a face which read, I'm-trying-to-be-serious-but-failing-miserably. He gave up within seconds instead turning his attention back to the Quidditch tactics, "yeah that's a good idea, maybe you could talk to Ted and Rosie about that?" Why does everything have to be so complicated? Well I guess Lily's right, during the game all I have to worry about is Charlotte, damn.

[Lily Potter]

Lily was about to tell Zane she was chopped full of ideas, when he tried to be angry with his whole ' trying to be serious' face. She pressed her lips in a tight line, trying very hard not to burst into laughter. Failing, she ducked her head and cracked up. She looked up at a odd looking Zane. "Oh, come on Zane! That face? I mean really? Gosh, that was funny. Well, I know it was a good idea. Seeing as I am Lily and I always have good ideas." she said, puffing up when said she always had good ideas. That was a lie.
She watched him carefully. "Y'know, Zane. I'll talk to them. Whats wrong? Is there something you need to tell me? About Charlotte? If there is, you can trust me. Ask Rosie, Teddy, or James. They'll tell you I'm a good listener. I'm always here if you need someone to talk too. Promise." she said, her motherly side taking over. Her eyes were soft as she watched him. "Well, that was weird. I sounded like Mum!" she said, laughing at herself. "But really, I'm here."

[/size]

[Zane Lestrange]

"You're nearly as bad as me, can't keep a straight face even if your life depended on it..." he smiled as Lily went on to say that she always has good ideas. "Yes Lily that may be true, but careful your head doesn't explode!" That was something from an old muggle saying about being big-headed, of course Zane knew that Lily wasn't like that, he simply wanted to tease her. "Thanks," he paused, debating whether or not to try and attempt to explain to Lily what was wrong. "There's nothing wrong, honestly your one of my best friends, you don't need to tell that you're a good listener, I know you are. But I think I'll have to deal with this one on my own." Zane laughed when Lily said she sounded like her Mum, "I know you are."

[Lily Potter]

Lily smiled. "I'm at least a bit more serious than you are, Zaney. I don't try, and fail horribly, at being mad." she teased, grinning wider as he told her to be careful her head didn't explode. She held her head in mock horror. "Oh no! I know I'm extremely smart, but I dunno if I want my head to explode!" she whispered, shaking her head slowly. She resumed her normal posture within a second of hold her head. She laughed as she listened to Zane. "Your not a good liar, Zane Lestrange. You know you not. Oh well, if you don't want to talk about it, fine. Thanks, Zane. You one of my best friends too." she said, grinning before going on. "That was mean! Take it back!" she said, making herself sound exactly like a first year.

[Zane Lestrange]

"I don't fail horribly at being mad, do I? Ok yes maybe but that's beside the point." He watched Lily as she attempting to try and prevent her head from exploding and began to laugh as her face took on an expression of horror, flawed of course by the fact that she was smiling as she did so. "I know I'm not a good liar Lily Potter, anyway what's with the use of the surname?" He laughed as he said this before continuing, "seriously though, as soon as I get it sorted out in my head, I'll tell you, ok?" As Lily's voice transformed to one of that belonging to a first year he couldn't help laughing, "Ok, ok! I take it back," he said between bouts of laughter. He also said it because Lily looked as if she might throw a cushion at him otherwise...

[Lily Potter]

Lily couldn't help the laugh that escaped her smiling lips. She ducked her head. "No, it isn't exactly beside the point...." she teased, looking over his shoulder at one of the 'stalker girls' She laughed again as she made a rather rude hand gesture. "You should know your not a good liar, and as for the surname, I have no idea. It just sounds cool." she said, smiling again. "I'm going to hold you to that, Zane. Promise? You gotta promise me, Mr. Zane." she said, gasping for air between laughs. She listened to him take back what he had said. She tried, and failed, at looking smug. "Thanks! Oh and, by the way, could you please control those girls that seem to be 'in love' with you? They aren't very nice, to say the least." she muttered, a huge smile spreading over her lips as the other stalkers made the same hand gesture. 'See! There they went again!" she said, sounding like a five year old this time. She laughed, thinking about how much fun she had with Zane. 'Oh stop thinking like that, Lily. Nothing is there. Build a bridge, and get over it!' she thought, a smile still plastered to her face.

[Zane Lestrange]

Zane listened carefully with a small shrug of the shoulders when Lily mentioned that he wasn't a good liar. That's more Kia's thing. "I know you'll hold me to that, so yes, I give you my word Miss Lily. There, satisfied?" The laughter begun was again as Lily tried and failed to look smug. With another mention of the stalker girls, Zane simply raised one eyebrow at Lily before looking over his shoulder. The hand gestures quickly disappeared to be replaced by large fake smiles. He turned back to Lily and said, "you really are enjoying this aren't you?"

[Lily Potter]

Lily smiled as Zane gave her his word. "Well, thats good, seeing as I would probably feel the need to send a small Bat Bogey Hex in your direction if you lied... But I'm trusting you, so I'm thinking that won't happen." she threatened, the smile on her lips giving her away. Lily made herself not laugh, but simply smile, as Zane raised an eyebrow at her. When he looked over his shoulder, the gestures stopped. Lily's jaw dropped. "What? Damn! Oh, sorry..." she said, looking away. "Well, I'm enjoying my stalker boys just not your, and yes they are yours, stalker girls. I dunno why they hate me..." she said, glaring at the girls.
