Denial
Arrogant. Egotistical. Pig Headed. Sardonic. Self – Absorbed. Conceited. Vain. Stuck- up.
Does the girl have nothing at all nice to say about me, it's always "Potter, you egotistical pig." Or "Go deflate your head a bit, Potter." Never "Hey Potter, you look amazing in your Quidditch robes." Or "James, you're so great at transfiguration." I don't think she's uttered one compliment in the last 6 years, no; I only get to hear about what a git I am.
What kind of girl can't get it through her head what a handsome bloke I am? Every other girl in the school seems to be able to see it. I'm pretty sure half the bloke's can too, you don't see any of them with a different girl on their arm each week do you. The ladies love me, except her! It's like she's immune to my charm or something?
Denial, that's what it is. She's built up this reputation for seeing me as "the prat I am." That she just can't admit to everyone that she fancies me. It's got to be it. There's no other excuse for her consistently shooting me down.
Unless… No! She can't be. I guess her and Mary McDonald do look pretty close, maybe… Maybe she is? But that's just - all my fantasies, ruined. No, she can't be.
There is no way that Lily Evans could be a lesbian.
She dated Tommy Tucker for god sake and from what I saw in the showers a few weeks ago he is certainly not a woman. Though possibly gay, he was staring at me… but who doesn't stare at me?
Okay back to Evans. She can't be a lesbian because she dated and quite publicly displayed her affections for Tucker who I have proven to be a bloke; the scarring images are still in my head.
Eurck.
There was this one time, I walked into the Charms classroom and she was…with Tucker on… Let's just say that my fantasies involving Evans are now a lot more graphic. Whoa does she look great in a lacy black bra. I mean… she looks great in a long skirt and buttoned up shirt. Hem.
Not a lesbian. Has to be denial.
a/n - Written because I've always wanted to see into the mind of James Potter.
disclaimer - I own the lame as name Tommy Tucker, the rest is Rowling's.
