How I Came to Love You

*****Lily's POV*****

I looked around the common room at her friends. James Potter and Sirius Black are flirting with my friends, Marianne Mitchell and Katy Patterson. No surprise there. Sirius is in love with Katy. Unfortunately, Katy doesn't like him like that, she likes someone else. Marianne does. She would start a huge fan club in honor of him if she could. I think she's crazy, but Sirius is also crazy. Maybe I'm just confused. Katy's crazy too. I don't know why James is there. He has a girlfriend. Her name is Amy. No wait that was last week. This week its Lola, no Laura, maybe Lizzie, or Lisa, oh well. I can't remember her name. She's some tall blond Ravenclaw girl with blue eyes. Remus Lupine sat in the corner trying to teach Peter how to change a huge house cat into a button. The cat belongs to Sirius. He wasn't found of it, so he is letting Peter try to transfigure it. Sirius hopes the cat will be changed in appearance permanently. I think he's mentally crazy. It could possibly be a side effect of being dropped on your head when you're young. I'll never know. I decided to watch the "teaching" lesson. It wasn't going to well. There were only a couple of things wrong. The cat had a button nose now and neither Remus nor peter had any buttons on their shirts. Problems. Good. I had made a bet with Remus that he wouldn't succeed. So far, I'm winning. After watching them for ten minutes, I looked back at the other group. James moved his head quickly. Had he been staring at me? Puzzled by this, I went back to my book. I look at it but I wasn't reading it. I was thinking. Was he looking at me? Or was he just watching the disaster that was happening with the cat. I decided I was tired so I left the Griffendor Common Room and went up the staircase to the door that said Sixth Years. I open and went start to my bed and stared at the canopy and started drifting asleep. Just then Trisha came in. Her nickname is Talking Trisha. She doesn't know when to shut up. There goes my nap.
"Lily, have you seen Claire?" she asked. Claire is her best friend. I feel sorry for her. She is always so quiet.
"Yeah," I lied, "she went to the library." I don't usually lie, I just want sleep and for Trisha to go away.
" I was just there, she wasn't"
"Oh." Oops. I've been caught.
"Oh well, you can just keep me entertained until she's back. Ok?"
If she wanted to torture me, she should chain me to a wall and tickle me. "K Trisha" I said without any enthusiasm.
"Your so lazy, lily! Lazy Lily! Lazy Lily!" she said jokingly. I didn't find it funny.

*****30 minutes later*****

"And then I went to the outside to visit my owl, Owl. He's so cute! He…….." Trisha went on and on and on and on and on… She reminds me of this Muggle rabbit on these commercials for a battery company. It goes on and on and on and on…
The door opened then. It was Katy. She saw Trisha and me. I signaled for help from her. I'm saved!!
"Hey Trisha, James is looking for you." She said. It's a well-known fact that Trisha loves James. I feel sorry for him too. She grinned and skipped out of the room.
"Thanks Katy, I owe you one."
"Don't mention it unless I'm under the wrath of Trisha. Hey we should probably hide cause when she finds out he didn't want her, will both get our ears talked off. How long were you up here anyways with her?"
"Over half an hour."
"Omigod. Really? Poor you. Oh no, she's coming." Katy was right. Angry footsteps were coming.
"Hide!!!!" I whispered quickly.
We scrambled into a safe place. I got into a closet and Katy got under Trisha's bed. The door opened, we held our breath.
"Lily? Katy? Hello? If you're in here I have to tell you that I hate Sirius now." It was Marianne.
I came out from the closet.
"Mar, I'm under here. Can you give me a hand?" came Katy's voice
"What are you doing under Trisha's bed?" asked Marianne getting on her hands and knees so she could see her.
"I thought I'd explore it. It smells like hot dogs under here."
"we thought you were Trisha." I said.
"that explains it"
"why do you hate Sirius now?" I asked.
"Because he wouldn't go out with me!!" She sobbed. "Oh well, I have to go to the library, anyone want to come?"
"Sure."
"Oh gross" came a voice from under the bed
"what?" Said Marianne and I at the same time.
"I found out why it smells like a hot dog under here."

*****James' POV*****

I sat in the common room finishing my potions essay. Five more lines. I think I'll just borrow someone's and copy. Then Trisha came in and sat right next to me. Being on a chair, that's hard to do without her siting on your lap.
"James, Katy said you wanted me." she said with a little grin on her face
Now I have one thought on my mind, kill Katy.
"I don't any more."
"But you did."
"um.." she didn't give me time to respond. Instead she hopped onto my lap and started kissing me. It was gross. Sirius was watching too. I'll never hear the end of it.
"I have to go meet someone." I said quickly, trying to push her off my lap.
"I'll go with you then"
"No. I have to go alone. Bye." I said as I started running out the door. Where to go. Look at all the possibilities. I can't go to the common room cause Trisha's there I have to stay out until she leaves. I don't want to see Sirius now either. I could go to….. The library! If someone was looking for me, they would never go there!

When I got to the library, I decided o find a book and read it. Having nothing else to do, I found one about transfiguration and read it.
"Hi James" it was Lily.
"Hi Lily." Can't people just learn to leave me alone? I looked past her. There stood Marianne and Katy. Katy. I have to kill Katy.
"Hi Katy. Thanks for putting Trisha on me."
"I'm in trouble. Bye James" she said leaving in a huge hurry. I would have followed her, but I wanted to talk to Lily. Marianne left to do some research on whatever she was doing. Lily just went over and sat down reading a book she picked up.
"Hey Lily, you wanna go for a walk?"
"Ok, I guess."
I got up and started walking and she followed. We went outside. It was cold outside and the ground was covered in the white snow. We walked silently. Now that I think of it, why did I want to talk to her anyways? I don't know.
"Are you staying here for Christmas?" she asked.
"Yeah." I said. "Are you?"
"Yep"
"Really? You usually don't."
"My parents are going to be out of town and I would never live a day with only Petunia."
"Oh"
"Who else is staying."
"No one. Sirius has some family reunion thing to go to. Marianna and Katy never stay. I know that Trisha and Claire don't usually stay. Peter goes home every year too. Remus has to visit his mom because she's sick again."
"She gets sick a lot doesn't she?"
"er.. Yeah" I hate lying to Lily. She has a way of making you feel guilty. I know I can't tell her the truth. I can't tell her he's not there because he's... well 'moony'.
"It's cold out here. We should probably go back to the castle."
"Ok" I wish we could stay…
**********************************



Well, that's my story. Could be a possible romance. Don't know. It's kinda short, but that's ok. I need 5 reviews before I do the next part. If I do the next part, it will probably be better if you have any suggestions, put them in the review. I would probably use them.

Disclaimer: I own Katy, Marianne, Trisha, Claire, and the bad grammar, spelling, etc. I wish I owned the rest, but I don't. If I did, id be a millionaire!!!
