Okay, this is a new story from me, so review. I may or may not continue. I just really wrote this chapter in my boredom. Review will most definitely make me write a new chapter.

This particular Fic is in diary form. Lily's diary to be exact. I didn't include too many descriptions of the Marauders because you all know what they look like. Peter Pettigrew is NOT in this Fic because I hate his guts. So yeah, Read and Review.

6 pages of writing!

Being Jealous

I know I shouldn't be jealous, but I can't help it. I really can't. I should probably tell you why I'm jealous, hey? Well... Everybody has somebody and I don't! That felt good to get of my chest. Phew.

Amy Harris. A stunning, short, brunette with big brown eyes has Remus Lupin. Why does she get him? He is sensitive, kind, studious, handsome and he has really cool yellow eyes. Right now, for example, Amy is sitting on his lap, AND they are being all lovey-dovey. You may wonder why I'm jealous that Amy has him, but, I just am, okay. She may be one of my dorm mates, and a best friend, but I can't help but be jealous.

Then there is Natasha McGarrell. A tall, short-haired brunette with deep blue eyes and a crazy personality who has... Sirius Black. I guess I kind of always knew they liked each other. But he is a player! She deserves better. Okay, that was way harsh. He isn't a player, I'm just jealous. Sirius isn't exactly ugly. In fact he is infuriatingly good looking. He has dark brown hair, sparkly blue eyes and is too strong to be healthy. Right now, they are kissing like a pair of lovebirds, which they are, I guess.

No, I am not forgetting Scarlet Montez. A very (very, very, very) short, blonde, girly-girl with bright blue eyes. She – the lucky bum – gets Logan Blue (a very, very, very tall boy). Imagine if they get married... Scarlet Blue. Is that an oxymoron? She'll have the same initials as Sirius Black. Anyway, they are doing the whole "No, I love you more" conversation. Logan is almost as tall as he-who-I-will-not-name-in-case-my-friends-find-my-diary-and-know-I-know-he-exists, but he is blonde – just like her -, has dark blue eyes and is the keeper on the Gryffindor Quiddich team. I guess it is kind of cute how they have such a height difference. I mean, Logan can rest his elbows on her head without lifting them. There is a good 1.5 foot difference there.

Last, but not least, is Jenna Watters. She is off with Logan's twin brother, Tyler. I think they said they were going to go for a walk around the lake. I don't see why, its dark outside. But maybe it is because I am not madly in love like all my friends. Jenna is the tallest of all us girls. She has white-blonde hair, deep blue eyes and pale skin. When I first saw her, I thought she was a Malfoy. But then I realised she was smiling. Malfoys don't smile, they sneer. It's highly unattractive.

So, that is why I am jealous. Tomorrow is Valentines Day and I am dateless. Potter (a.k.a. he-who-I-will-not-name-in-case-my-friends-find-my-diary-and-know-I-know-he-exists. Darn, I mentioned him) has teased me about it. He has Gertrude-Long-Legs to fall back on since he has stopped asking me out. All the girls mentioned above – apart from Gertrude - are my best friends, they'll understand my misery.


Common Room 8.12 pm

Working on an apology

I am in a wave of guilt at the moment. I have just made Scarlet cry. Logan will fix that though. He'll probably do something sweet. Now I'm jealous again. This is what happened...

"I love you more."

"No. I love you more."

"Nah, I do."

"Shut up, Scarlet, Logan. I am trying to write in my diary. You are not helping!" I snapped. Now I feel really bad. Scarlet has gone all teary-eyed and Logan is going all lovey-dovey again to make her feel better. Yuck. Not really that yuck.

"Lily, that was way harsh," Scarlet pouted.

"Well, if you would take your Love Fest somewhere else, I wouldn't have to shout!"

"Love Fest?" she yelled back. The whole Great Hall was watching at that point, teachers included. "What do you mean Love Fest? Just because I show my feelings does not mean you have the right to be mean." She stood up and looked down at me – which, I'm tellin' ya, didn't really work because she only ended up a few inches taller. Even with me sitting down. "I can't believe you would say something like that!"

She turned to her boyfriend and pulled him up by his school tie. "What, honey?" Logan managed to ask before taking another sip of pumpkin juice. She shot me a hurt look and dragged Logan out of the Great Hall, never once letting him go.

"Good one!" Tasha managed to say before one again gluing her mouth to Sirius'.

Now I felt bad. Remus and Amy shook their heads at me then went back to gazing into each other's eyes. Then Potter came to interrupt again.

"Hey, Evans. Why is Scarlet crying?" I made her cry? At that point I felt truly terrible!

"I don't know, Potter." I turned to face him and scowled. Gertrude-Long-Legs was hanging off him.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for him. He doesn't ask me out any more. But could they be less... affectionate? I know I am being a bit hypocritical. I just made one of my best friends cry because she is high on love, but really, Hogwarts would be dull if nobody was in love.

"Good morning, Lily," Gertrude chirped. Didn't she realise it was... I don't know... night time?

"Good evening, Gertrude," I managed to hiss before storming out of the Great Hall in a Scarlet-like fashion. Only, I wasn't dragging a poor boy with me by his tie.

I ran up the stairs to the seventh floor. Gryffindor Domain. I walked through some halls and found Scarlet and Logan up ahead. I was about to call out so I could apologise to Scarlet, but they tumbled into a broom closet and shut the door. I got out of that corridor so, fast it was not funny. I walked up to the Head Dorms – which I share with Potter, unfortunately – and dumped my bag on my bed. It is a lonely life, being Head Girl.

I sat for a while before skipping over to the Common Room that the rest of the House share, and sitting in front of the fire. I waited around for any friends that might appear, but it seems they are too much in love to care about a lonely red-head. And now, I have to think of an apology for Scarlet.


Tuesday 14th

Great Hall 7.11 am

Breakfast, overwhelmed by love. Not.

I didn't have time to apologise to Scarlet last night; she was too busy with other things. But now, I am sitting in the Great Hall, which has been decorated... festively. The walls are pink, the floors are pink, the tablecloths – on the now round ten or so tables replacing the five normal big ones – are red, the sky is covered with hearts, little lovebirds are flying around the ceiling and tiny charmed garden gnomes are singing love songs. I feel thoroughly depressed.

Today is a holiday for all seventh years. They love Valentines Day. I am the only one here apart from Daphne Anderson and Jonah Hubble. Who, might I add, are snogging like it's nobody's business. Which, it isn't, but I'm still jealous. Even Jonah (the great prat) has somebody!

"Hello, Evans!" Oh Great, Potter has arrived.

I grunted something barely audible and stuffed some bacon onto my plate. He sat down across the table from me, Gertrude-less I noticed.

"Where is Girt?" I asked in a sickly sweet voice.

"Oh," he looked down at his plate, awkwardly. "We broke up."

"Right before Valentines Day?" I tried to show concern, but really, none of it was real.

"Yeah. She is way too clingy. It is... I don't know... frustrating."

"Well, I'm sorry to hear that."

Sorry? Hell, I am over the moon now. I am singing a little song in my head. "NO MORE GERTRUDE, NO MORE GERTRUDE!" No, he did not hear it. I can't stand Gertrude. I am forced to hang around with her while my friends are off with the Gryffindor boys. It sucks, I tell you, it sucks! Now she is gone, I am free!

"Hello, Lily, James."

Scarlet has arrived, hand-in-hand with Logan. Damn, he is looking twice as good as usual. This is so not fair. Today, Scarlet is wearing her little pink dress. It looks glorious on her. She has a matching bow in her hair and Logan has a shirt to match. They are the perfect couple. I'm jealous, again.

"Good morning, Scarlet. Good morning, Logan."

I tried not to let my jealousy show, I really did. Stupid Potter noticed though because he smirked. Highly unattractive in a woman to be jealous, it is. The couple sat down next to Potter and Logan poured Scarlet out some coffee. How cute. I wish I had somebody to pour coffee for me. Logan put his arm around Scarlet and they beamed at each other. Now I am too jealous for it to be healthy.

"Is somebody jealous?"

I turned my head to find Jenna bending over to look me in the face. She had her hair out and also looked stunning. How could she tell I was jealous? Tyler snuck up behind her and covered her eyes with his hands.

"Guess who!"

Jenna smiled and took his hands away. Tyler winked at her and then they went all huggey and slid into the seat next to me. Tyler isn't as tall as Logan, but he isn't far off. They look the same apart from the height and Tyler's eyes are much darker. Tyler poured out some cereal for Jenna and they started kissing. I wish I had somebody to pour out cereal for me too. Hell, I wish they would make my whole breakfast for me.

Only a few seconds later, two little gnomes started singing to Scarlet and Logan. I am soooo buggered. Jealousy makes my skin go funny and I have been exposed to too much of it. Any bets that my face will be a replica of the moon by tomorrow. And not in the glowey happy way - the creator way.

"Morning, everybody!"

Great, Tasha and Sirius are here to increase my jealous meter. If that is possible.

"Morning!" everybody sung back. Well, everybody but me.

They sat down on Potter's other side and once again glued their mouths together. Okay, THAT is one thing I'm not wishing for. Do they mind? Eurgh. The only thing I need now is Amy and Remus to appear, and then my day will be completely trashed. I was planning on spending all today ranting to my friends about the boring duty of Head Girl. Obviously they have better things to look forward to.

"Never fear, I am hear!"

Great. Mental asylum... HERE I COME!

"Morning, Amy, Remus."

Just as they were sitting in the two empty spots between Tasha and Tyler, the owls flew in over the Hall and dropped countless amounts of mail on the round tables. Most of which are now full of kissing couples.

"You alright there, Evans?" Potter has just asked. "You seem to be taking all your anger out on your diary."

Everybody on the table stopped what they were doing and turned to me, quill in one hand, diary in the other. I looked to each of them in turn. Tasha and Sirius had lipstick smudged on their faces, Scarlet was on Logan's lap, Jenna and Tyler were holding hands and Amy and Remus were reading the paper together. Now I am even more depressed. Potter and I are the only dateless ones. That sucks. Seriously.

"I'm fine," I murmured and went back to writing in my diary.

I HATE POTTER!

After a few good minutes of silence from me, Potter suggested an escape route. "Hey, Evans!" I turned to look at him. "Want to escape from the Kissing Quartet?"

"Hey, there are eight of us!" Amy pointed out.

"Yeah, but you guys are snogging so often I'm surprised you aren't sown together by the face."

That got a few bits of love heart confetti thrown at him by the gnomes. Ha. We both got up and ran out of the Hall before one of the love charms hit us and made us kiss. I don't know why Dumbledore agreed to this day off. I would much rather do three essays. Wait, I have three nice fat essays still to do for Transfiguration, Herbology and Defence against the Dark Arts. That'll pass the time.


Ten Reasons why I want a Boyfriend:

1. It would shut Potter up.

2. I wouldn't have to burn myself trying to pour coffee.

3. I'd never have to make cereal again.

4. I wouldn't be one of the dateless morons inhabiting the Common Room.

5. I would have somebody to read the paper with.

6. I wouldn't be as bored as I am.

7. No more jealousy... for a while.

8. More birthday presents.

9. More Christmas presents.

10. It would shut Potter up.


How did it go? Did I do alright? Who wants another chapter? Tell me and I'll writet another one. I love this fic. It is so fun. Tash, Amy and Jenna are my best friends but I made Scarlet up. I know that this story gets juicier every chapter so if you want some, come get it! By reviewing, I mean. That could be taken very wrongly.
