No Way
Lily rapped on the door of Hagrid's cabin urgently, casting a nervous glance behind her. A loud barking, from the other side of the door, startled her as she waited.
"Shut up, you mad dog," she heard the familiar, gruff voice of the Game Keeper say.
A few moments later, the door to the cabin opened, and she was greeted by the half giant himself.
"Lily, what are you doin' 'ere?" he asked. "Shouldn' you be out enjoyin' the sun."
Lily smiled up at Hagrid, and answered, "I've just escaped from James Potter. He – he conjured a mistletoe tree next to me, and tried to – kiss – me. May I come in?"
"Course you can," Hagrid boomed, suppressing a chuckle.
Lily cast another glance over her shoulder before slipping into the spacious cabin, and taking a seat.
"So Lily, he tried to kiss you," Hagrid said, as he set about making the pair of them a cup of tea.
"Yes, it's really quite disturbing. It's not even Christmas," Lily answered, shuddering at the very thought of kissing James Potter.
Hagrid chuckled aloud, as he walked over with a tray that had two cups, and a plate of rock cakes on it.
"What's so funny?" Lily questioned.
"The two of you," Hagrid murmured. "You claim to hate him, bu' I can tell that's just a facade. I bet if you search your feelings, you'll find tha' you're fonder of James Potter than you're willin' to admit."
Lily shook her head in denial, whilst Fang barked quietly in agreement with his owner.
"No, no way," Lily uttered softly, as she took a sip from her cup.
There was no way on earth she was fond of the arrogant James Potter. No matter how attractive he was, or how infectious his laughter could be.
There was no way. Was there?
