Love Your (so called) Secret Admirer
How many times have you gotten a secret admirer letter on Valentines Day? Well, Lily's had none. Until her Seventh Year. Was it because she had changed over the summer? Was it because she was popular? Or was it just because her secret admirer was trying to make someone else jealous? Guess we'll find out!
It was the first day of February. Lily pulled herself out of her comfy bed in the Head Girls room. She had a wonderful sleep, dreaming that soon her true love would come and rescue her from James and his little followers.
Lily was one of the smartest girls in Hogwarts, but she had some competition. James Potter, Head Boy. Not only was he one of the smartest guys in the school, but he was also the most popular guy in Hogwarts. No Competition! Lily had always beat him in all the classes they had, but James only fell behind because he either didn't do his homework, or he really didn't want to try.
James may have been head coach for the Gryffindor Quidditch team, but James had lost against her when it came to either dancing or singing. She ruled over all. Lily had spent many of her younger years in singing lessons and the dancing had just come natural to her. Just like some of her friends, Lily was also pretty good looking.
As you may know, Lily had long, red hair and green eyes. She was also the tallest of her friends. There were 2 other girls with her. Laura and Steph were both blonde but only Laura was fairly girly. Steph was the shortest and blue eyes, while Laura was average and had blue eyes, too.
James hung out with Sirius, Remus and Peter. Peter was short and fairly chubby. How he got stuck with the Marauders, no one knows. Remus had sandy brown hair and he was also fairly tall. Sirius had shabby black hair and was shorter than Remus and James.
Now today, being very sunny and warm outside, Lily was lucky that she had Care of Magical Creatures first thing. The horrible thing about that was that she had that class with the biggest class clown, James. That's the only problem with that class. Now, if it had been any of the other Marauders, Lily wouldn't have cared, but no. She got stuck with the guy that bugged her the most, but she doesn't deny that she thinks its cute in a way.
Early Morning of February 1st
(Inspiration: Bounce by Sarah Connor)
Lily was ready and awake when she walked into C.O.M.C and placed her books near the edge of the bridge. Today they would learn about Buffuts: small flying creatures that travel by flight. These small bat-like creatures were able to disappear and re-appear within a matter of seconds to get away from their enemy. Lily was quite fascinated by any creature that could disappear, and just happened to be ready to learn more about the Buffuts.
James, on the other hand, didn't want to learn about any stupid flying creatures. Instead, he busied himself with only one other creature, Lily. James had this tendency to go through girls like a drunk guy goes through his beer on a Friday night. James was a pretty big player within the school, and unfortunately the girl he wanted the most wasn't attracted to him by his looks. Well as far as he knew.
"Class, please come closer and stay very quite. We cannot afford to lose any other Buffuts to un-excusable noises." Miss Longerst, C.O.M.C teacher, said a loud, starring intentally at James and Sirius, who chuckled to themselves once she had looked away.
"Now class, I shall put you in groups of 3, hoping that everyone will work well together." she said again, and looked over at Sirius and James once more.
"Group One will include Jesse Klonsi, Remus Lupin and Lily Evans," Miss Longerst said. Lily look pleased to be placed with 2 other students who she knew would want to work hard, "Group Two will include James Potter, Amelia Hunter and Olivia Tanner. Group Three..." Miss Longerst kept talking as Lily felt a slight cool breeze flow over her shoulders. She looked over her left shoulder. Nothing. She looked over her left shoulder. Nothing. Lily then shook off the shivers and followed the class over the bridge and to the other side. There she met up with Jesse and Remus.
"How should we start the essay?" Lily asked instantly. She liked getting a head start on things.
"Well, I was thinking that we should probably get to know how the Buffuts use their powers to good use." Jesse said. Lily nodded in agreement. They moved over near the wall toward a small brown Buffut. It had a small Mohawk of blue and the yellow in its eyes stood out like a bright light. Remus moved a little faster than he had wanted to, scared the poor little Buffut and it was gone in a flash. They stood there almost a minute before it reappeared.
"Close." Jesse whispered into Lilys ear. Once they had set up their work near the creature, they were able to find out new information on the creature that they hoped no one else would have.
After almost half an hour went by during class, James came and sat with Lily and Remus. James stared at Lilys hair, before Lily looked up and glared at him. James gave a smirk and began talking to Remus. James had almost spent 10 minutes with them, when Olivia Tanner walked over.
Olivia Tanner. Small. Pathetic. Stupid. And dull as a post. The only thing that she is good at is putting on her make-up. And this week, she just happened to be James' new girlfriend.
"JAMES! I cant do this work myself you know!" Olivia shouted as she stood above him. Her eyes were wide and she looked like she was a spoiled princess. James stood up and gave her a look of stupidity. Olivia looked furious. Lily looked interested, and so did the rest of the class!
"James... I don't think this is working anymore. You don't seem to care about how I feel. All you ever want to do is hang out with your friends!" Olivia shouted, which scared all the Buffuts into disappear mode. James stood, un-surprised. Lily guessed that he had never liked her in the first place, he probably just went out with her to see if he could make it to third base!
"James, its over!" Olivia cried, "I'm moving on James! Don't stop me! ITS OVER!" Olivia said, and with that she went back to Amelia and they began to do their work. James just shrugged and sat back down with Remus.
"James! How could you! She really liked you, you know!" Lily said with a strict tone in her voice.
"Yeah, but she wasn't really the one for me. That girl over there, now SHES the one for me." James said as he pointed out her best friend, Laura. Laura had a way with the guys. She was flirtatious. Lily didn't say anything, but went back to work. After a few minutes the bell rang, and Lily headed to the Library for some extra studying.
Once she reached the library, she wasn't prepared for the letter she found in her bag. It was in a pink envelope with her name in blue on the front. Lily opened in carefully, unaware of what was in it.
oo.. suspense! Well I hoped you liked it! R&R and then maybe ill add some more exciting facts! YA!
