"Awwww come on I promise that I won't get mad!" I pleaded with my friend Susan.
"NO! Lily I am pretty sure that you WILL get mad!" Susan sighed.
"Fine, if you don't want to tell me than I guess I will just leave!"
"Wait, Lily! Don't go! I'll tell you!"
"Alright I'm all ears!"
Susan came closer to me and whispered into my ear.
"James Potter!"
I turned red. Ok she was right! I was going to get mad! But how could my best friend do this to me? She knew that I have had a crush on him forever! And now she was going out with him!
I blushed deeply and tried to keep my flashing green eyes at bay.
"James Potter?" I hissed.
Susan sighed. "You see? I was right. I told you that you would get mad!"
"I'm not mad in the least; I wish you both the best of luck." I tried to sound happy, but my voice just came out flat.
"Lily…" she trailed off as I ran away.
Susan knew me to well to come after me. As the saying goes, Hoes before Bros, right? I just needed sometime to cool my fiery temper down. Stupid red hair!
"This is perfectly beastly!" I sighed.
I ran into my favorite spot, which was currently a small corner in the library. I tried to keep tears from rolling down my face, but they came down any ways.
I looked up from the cushion I was sitting on. A shadow was cast over my body, making me shiver.
James' best friend, Sirius Black, was looking at me with a sad frown.
"What do you want?" I asked quietly, for I was embarrassed to be seen in such a state.
"Well…" Sirius said in his deep voice, shaking his luscious curls out of his eyes. "I was here to ask you a question… but this looks like a bad time."
I simply nodded my head. "But any thing you say cannot be worse than what I have just heard, so you can ask me whatever you would like."
Sirius took a deep breath.
"Well, as you know, or at least should know, the year 7's ball is coming up. It is costume for head lady to go with head man, but it seems as the head man is tied up at the moment. So I was wondering, if you don't have a date already" Sirius looked at me hopefully.
"No I do not have a date yet."
"Good! Then Lily, would you consider going with me?"
My mouth dropped open as I looked in to Sirius' eyes.
