Disclaimer: Hey , Me ? Not Jo. If I was that would be awesome.
He doesn't care anymore , right ?
"Yeah okay , Take care."
It was the last thing he said to me before he went back to the dormitories. He asked me out for one last time and I blew up at him, saying he was a git and that he should get it through his thick head that I don't want to go out with him.
He stared at me blankly as if my reaction was something he expected. I smirked as he turned away , 'Ha , no more Potter.'
The next day I didn't see him at breakfast.
The Marauders were ignoring me.
He came to Transfiguration late and his appearance shocked me. He had dark circles under his eyes and he wasn't even smiling. McGonagall gave him detention and he went to his seat quietly. He didn't even charm his way out of detention. I felt like I killed him. I killed the happy , energetic and funny James Potter.
At dinner people kept asking me about what was wrong with Potter. I glare at them as if saying ,'I don't want to talk about it.'
The next morning, it was official : James Potter was over Lily Evans.
His fan club seemed happy and some of my admirers too. Well one of them, Crimson Walker a very handsome Ravenclaw approached me as I got out the Great Hall.
He went up to me looking extremely nervous. I smile a bit. He is so cute.
"Hey Lily. "He greeted. I smiled at him widely.
"So is the news really true ? I mean , is-is he , he really over-r—"
"Me ? Yeah , I think so."
"Oh , that's great."
"Great?"
"Oh no, I mean, not ah, not, great like I'm happy that his over you, which I am, I mean not, I mean ah! I sound like a total idiot huh?" He said grinning sheepishly his pale cheeks getting redder and redder by the minute.
I saved the poor boy by laughing and saying," No you don't, actually I think you are adorable."
He smiled happily at this and told me, "See you around." Before he went off with his friends to class.
I turned around to get to my class when I collided with somebody. I looked up. It was Potter. Wait—he's, you have got to be kidding me.
He was smiling—he then stretched out his hand for me helping me up."Looks like you are falling for Walker there, aren't you Evans?" I looked him in the eye and saw that he was truly happy. He has finally moved on. Wait why am I feeling sad?
"Uh Evans? Are you all right?" He said waving his hand in front of my face. I shook my head and took his hand. I brushed off some dust from my robes and said,"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks Potter."
He grinned. "Anytime, oh and hey, I hope you and Walker get along well."
What? Did he just—I was expecting him to say something along the lines of 'Oh, I am going to squish him into a bloody pulp, if he gets near you again', or something like that. It's so not like him. It's like he doesn't care anymore. Pfft, Potter.
The next few days were pure bliss. I spent most of my time with Crimson and I think I might like him. I hadn't told this to anyone yet, but I think I'll be telling Marlene and Hestia about this. After dinner, we went back to the dormitories and I told them about it. They started squealing like mad and that made me roll my eyes. I slept happily thinking about Crimson and how happy I am right now.
At breakfast the next morning, I'm sure I looked like a complete idiot staring at them with my mouth open. James and Marlene went to breakfast holding hands. They were now officially a couple. Just then I felt like, something inside me just deflated and I had this sinking feeling in my stomach, the one that feels like you just lost something special. Well, I think I did.
The news had spread quickly and now everybody knows about the two of them. And they all think they are a perfect match. I snort in disgust. 'No they aren't, I mean not that I disagree on them being together or something , Pfft of course not.'
I spent my evening in the common room by the warmth of the fire , thinking about Potter and Marlene. I sighed , feeling extremely jealous. I raised my eyebrows in confusion, 'Why the heck am I jealous, I mean it's just Potter , it's not like I had hidden feelings for him .. right ? OH BOY.' I took a pillow , put my face on it and screamed as loud as I could. In my muffled screams I could hear people getting in the portrait hole , I looked up and oh , it was James and Marlene. I looked away from them , they were just so happy and contented and I'm not supposed to be jealous , but unfortunately I am and I hate it this feeling so much it so AHH ! I repeatedly banged my head on the table , muttering "You are not jealous , you don't care about Potter , because he doesn't care about you anymore ." I was continuingly banging it when by head banged on something soft. Someone put a pillow on the table. I looked up and saw Marlene smirking at me.
"Don't ruin your brain Lils , I still need you for NEWTS." She said winking at me and went upstairs to the dormitories. I looked up and saw James just by his door smiling fondly at where Marlene had been. He then looked at me briefly and then went inside his dorm.
I took the pillow again , poor pillow , and I screamed my frustration into it.
Oh merlin. I am jealous because I like Potter and was just too stubborn to admit it.

You know what ... I'll forget him eventually , I mean I have Crimson. Besides , Potter doesn't care about me anymore , right ?
Er..Yeah Lily , sure.
Hi ! Omygosh , I hope you liked it.
