FIRST CLASS

-"Lil! Come on! Hurry up!"

-"I´m going, I´m going!"

Finally Lily made her way down the stairs that led up to the girls´dormitories.

-"What took you so long?"- asked Camila.

She was tall, dark haired and she had amazing blue eyes. She looked at her best friend.

-"Well?"- she demanded.

-"I couldn´t find my potions book."- Lily replied. She hadn´t combed her dark red hair and now she was tying it into a ponytail.

-"Whatever. You know? These days you have been like all weird and you keep on forgetting stuff. You´re not like that. Is there anything wrong?"

"No. I just couldn´t remember I shoved it under my bed last night, that´s all."

"Sure"- But Cami didn´t believe her.

They walked out of the portrait of the fat lady and headed down to the dungeons where they were to have their potions classs. When they got there both Gryffindor and Slytherin 7th year students had entered the room and were already sitting down.

-"Great! Our first class of the year and we´re late. Thanks to you Lily Evans."- said Cami

-"Oh! You´re welcome!"- whispered Lily.

They looked around the room for two places but the only remaining seats wre next to the only person Lily didn´t want to sit with. With a look on her face that could have made anybody believe she had just swalllowed a coakroach she sat next to James Potter. Since her first year at Hogwarts Lily had hated everything about that boy and the fact that he was also in Gryffindor made things much more difficult. Potter was, together with Sirius Black (his best mate), considered the troublemaker of the school. He was also quidditch captain of the Gryffindor team, where he played as seeker, tall, dark haired and funny. This Lily would never admit. The truth was taht she actually thought that sometimes he was funny and she certainly did think that he was handsome but she just couldn´t stand the fact that he thought himself the top of the world.

-"Evans! What a surprise! Our final year at school and you finally decide to sit next to me. I do feel honoured, you know?"

-"Potter, we only just started this school year and you´re already getting on my nerves. You´re beating your own record!"

-"I know! Isn´t it just great?"

-"Sure! Congratulations!"

-"Thanks!"

Lily rolled her eyes. He was just too annoying.

-"So...How was your summer, Evans?"- he asked

-"I´m not going to tell you how my summer went. In fact, I´m not going to tell you a thing. So shut up."

-"Uhhh! Manners, Evans. But ok, I´ll talk to Cam instead."- he looked at Camila-"Hi, Cam! Doing good?"

Cami flushed. Not that she liked James, but...well, he was very good looking and she just went all red when any guy looked at her.

-"Hi."- she replied. Lily looked at her best friend accusingly.-"What? He asks and I answer. What´s wrong with that?"

-"You, that´s what´s wrong"

They both opened their books and turned to page one, but James was not giving up so easily.

-"What did you do this summer, Cam?"

-"Oh! It was great!"

-"Really?"

-"Yeah! Lil and I, we spent most of the summer at my grandparents´, in Scotland"

-"They have a house there?"

-"They live there. In a castle."- said a voice next to James. Sirius Black´s face appeared from behind James and look Camila directly in the eye.

If she had flushed when James had addressed her, now you could fry an egg on her face. That´s how red she was. Everybody in school knew that Camila had a crush on Sirius and Sirius on Camila, but they were both just too proud and arrogant to admit it. That was the reason why Sirius had fooled around with every single (and not so single) girl at school (he was so, so, sooo handsome!) and Camila had been dating a guy for two years now. It was a game they both played and neither of them was going to make the first move.

-"How do you know that?"- she demanded

-"Let me have my secrtes, the same way you have yours."- he replied with a grin on his face

-"Yes...I do have some secrets which, by the way, you´ll never get to know."

-"Of course I will"- he turned to talk to Lupin and left Camila to her own thoughts.

James was looking at Lily who was too concentrated on her reading to notice. He turned to his own book. The minute he did that Lily looked at him out of the corner of her eye. She just couldn´t understand why he had to be so annoying with her. But she was worried, because lately she had started to think about him and she kept on forgetting things and doing stuff like that. Just as if she was falling for him, But it couldn´t be...It just couldn´t happen. She would have to talk to Cami about that. She sighed and went back to her reading.
