Hey guys,
this is one of my ideas of Lily coming over. Since it is also my very first fanfiction, please be nice. :)
I´m writing this in English so more People are able to read although I am actually from Germany, so if you find any mistakes please just tell me.
It´s also possible that I´ll post the same Story in German one day when I have plenty of time.
Enjoy :D
Chapter 1
-Lily POV-
Hestia and I were just leaving the classroom when Alice ran towards us. She seemed to be very excited.
"Guess who´s just asked me to come to Hogsmeade with him on the weekend?!" she nearly shouted. Hestia and I smiled at each other. If Alice was in such a great mood it could have been only one boy, the one she talked about all the time.
"Frank?" we said together.
"Yes!" she nodded, grinning even wider.
"Great, Alice, I´m so happy for you" I smiled and hugged her shortly.
"Me too" Hestia added while we started making our way to the Great Hall slowly.
"I just wonder…" she looked at me. "What are you going to do then, Lily? If Alice goes with Frank and you know, I´m dating Jase, you´ll be alone." She looked apologizingly.
"It´s okay, Hest" I hurried to reply. "You two go with the boys."
"Oh Lils, I just remember…" started Alice, looking in a way that told me to be careful. "Has James already asked you out?" I sighed. I should have known it.
"Of course he has" I answered.
"And what did you say…?!" Hestia asked.
"You both know that, so why do you ask?" They just kept on looking at me. "I´d never go out with Potter!" I said a little bit annoyed. We were talking about that like a hundred times a week.
Alice sighed.
"When will you finally say yes, Lily?"
"Never" I said, maybe a bit too harshly. Hestia stopped walking and pulled Alice and me to one side of the corridor so the other students could pass. Then she looked at me seriously.
"Come on, Lily, you like him" she said, stressing the last three words.
"No, I don´t."
"You do" Alice said, seriously too, but smiling softly. "We are not stupid, you know. We have noticed that you´ve changed."
"I haven´t" I said, raising my eyebrows.
"You have" Hestia continued. I rolled my eyes. "Lily, there is no other boy you talk that much about-"
"Yes, because there is no other boy I have to complain about that much" I interrupted.
"But you don´t complain about him all the time. Remember when you told us how effective he planned the patrols? How good he dealt with the boy who lost his mother? That his comments aren´t that stupid anymore? That-"
"Okay, okay, stop it" I said. "But I´ve just told you that he is a better Head Boy I thought he could be. That doesn´t mean anything."
"Yes, it does. It means that he tries" Hestia said.
"And, Lily – the way you´re looking when you talk about him and the fact that you talk about him a lot do definitely mean something. Trust me." Alice said. "You like him."
"I don´t."
"You do" both of them said.
"I don´t."
"You do."
"Well, maybe I don't hate him anymore" I admitted. "But I don't like him."
My two best friends exchanged a glance, then looked back at me.
"You do."
I glanced at them angrily, and then threw my hands in the air.
"Okay, fine, I like him. He´s nice, funny, loyal – yes, I like him. But remember: like, not fancy. Like, that's all. Got it?! Happy now?"
Alice and Hestia seemed to be a bit confused of my outburst, but then they both started to laugh.
"Big progress, Lilys" Alice patted my shoulder.
"Finally" Hestia added, hugging me. "Though it was loads of work."
"We´ll manage the rest, too" Alice smiled, highfiving Hestia.
"No way, girls" I clearly said, stuck a strand of my red hair behind my ear and finally continued our way. I´d never fall for James Potter. Never. Okay, he had changed a lot, he wasn't that arrogant git anymore and… frankly, that I still used not to be too nice to him as more a habit.
But I wouldn't fall in love with him. This was just complete rubbish. Just the thought of it was ridiculous.
