A crowd of students gather to watch and laugh but Lily is a friend of severus and James, but is furious and demands that James leaves severus alone. James clearly having a crush on her agrees to stop if she goes on a date with him, but she's disgusted and turns him down.in severus's humiliation and anger at being rescued he calls Lily a "mudblood".
