Three Chances
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. I wish I did though.
Chapter 1
"Oh My GOD! We missed you!" Voices said. Their arms were wrapped around me in a tight hug. I knew those voices they belong to my best friends, Bella, Cissa, Emmaline and Marlene. I know what you're thinking. How can she be friends with Slytherins? Well, my answer to that is: I don't know. It all started with James. The love of my life but don't tell him that. It's my secret. The only ones who know are my best friends and Lucius, Severus, Rodolphus ,Sirius, Frank, Peter and Remus. Anyway back to my story.
Flashback:
It was my 3rd year.
"Ugh. Why can't he stop asking me out! He is so irritating!" I said frustrated by another of Potter's annoying scheme to get me to be his girlfriend but I know better. I know he doesn't mean it.
"You know, Evans, you can always seek help from us," A voice said. I turned around and saw The 2 Black sisters.
"What do you want?" I ask them. I am so not in the mood for their antics.
"We just want to help you with your problem with Potter. What do you say? Wanna be friends?" The wild one asked. That was Bellatrix.
"Okay but make sure this isn't some game of yours," I said to them and they smiled at me deviously.

I remember what they did. They made all of James' clothes pink. The whole school was laughing their butts off, including the teachers. In the end the Marauders paid Cissa and Bella back by making them fat and all of us now how they are about their figures.
So as of the rest of my friends it just came with time and it also helped that we were roommates. James also have friends from Slytherin, Lucius, Severus and Rodolphus. They are Cissa, Bella and Emmaline's boyfriends. Marlene and Sirius is a different story. Their relationship is not normal. They fight all the time but there are times that they are so sweet to each other. Frank and Alice aren't in a relationship but they are best friends. I think they'll end up with each other especially if I we in tervene. I mean they keep on glancing at each other.
Anyway, back to me. When James first asked me out, I refused because I thought he was so arrogant and that he only wanted me as one of his trophies. I mean, he had so many girlfriends. How can I take him seriously? After that incident I refused him all the time. I just realized that I loved him at the end of last year.
Flashback
My friends and I were hanging out by the Black Lake when the Marauders, Lucius, Frank, Severus and Rodolphus came by. So with Bella, Emmaline, Cissa and Marlene being the girlfriends of those guys we hung out with each other. The couples were talking about who knows what when James came over to me.
"What do you want, Potter?" I snapped at him. He just grinned at me and sat down next to me.
"I just wanted to apologize to you. You may think that I just want you to be my girlfriend because I want you to be one of my trophies but I don't. I really like you Lily. To prove that to you, I won't ask you out next year. Let's just try to be friends. Deal?" he said smiling at me. To say that I was surprised was an understatement. If he really liked me this took a lot of guts.
"Sure," I said and we talked all day long until it was dinner.
End of Flashback
That summer, I couldn't stop thinking about him. I made my decision that if James asked me to go on a date with him I'll say yes. I almost forgot to tell you how my friends and their boyfriends knew.
When I realized that I loved James, I told them via-owl. So because they couldn't keep a secret to their boyfriends, they knew. At least they didn't tell James. That would be embarrassing.
Anyway back to the present time, my friends hugged me that I couldn't breathe.
"Okay, guys, you can let go now. I missed you too." I said hugging them back. They let go.
"SO, what are you going to do with James?" Cissa asked.
"Yeah, I mean he likes you, right. What could happen if you asked him out," Marlene asked. I rolled my eyes at them.
"Umm, I don't know, but I want him to ask me out. That can't happen because he said that he won't ask me out this year," I said sadly.
"I know what we can do," Hestia said looking at the others.
"ASK THE BOYFRIEND'S HELP!" they said in unison. The people that were surrounding us were giving us looks. This is where I crave Alice's company, because she won't embarrass me in front of all these people.
"You needed our help?" someone said. We turned around and saw the boys. My girls squealed and hugged the boys.
"Hey, where's James?" I asked them. Just saying his name had me fluttery inside. They looked at one another awkwardly.
"Umm, he, ugh, he's with his parent's. Yeah, that's where he is," Remus said. I knew he was lying but I let it slide. Remus is a werewolf. He told me and the girls after he learned that I loved James.
"Okay," I said nonchalantly. "Oh My God! I forgot to tell you! I'm a prefect!" I said excitedly. My girls squealed while the boys grinned at me.
"I am too you know!" Remus, Lucius and Cissa said unanimously. They looked at each other and we all cracked up. We found a compartment and we went in it.
"So what do you want to do?" Rodolphus asked. The boys grinned.
"EXPLODING SNAP!" They shouted. Us, girls groaned. I hate exploding snap. There was a time that this piece of exploding snap exploded near my face and I loathed it ever since. For the whole train ride I never saw James Potter.
So many Flashbacks! There is no Voldemort, guys! Please Review!
