"Evans! Look alive I cant have my seeker not focusing in practice!" Urgh. James Potter. He hates me, I know it, every one knows it.
"Yeah Evans…you know if you day dream James will kick you off the team.."Sirius said, a small smirk spread across his face, but a warning look from his bestfriend made him stop short.
"Just get to work." James turned away and sped off on his broom.
I feel like dying, the whole team is staring at me, I lean forward and speed towards Sirius, "Tell Remus I'll meet him in the common room after dinner," I give him a smile and fly off leaving him hanging mid fly.
"All right." He calls after me, waving a lazy hand in my direction.
I walk into to the great hall and sit down next to Ellen, my bestfriend, some people find it weird, a blonde, pretty girly girl being bestfriends with me, a plain red head, know it all, with bright green eyes. Some people even try to lead her away from me, saying I don't belong with her kind, just because she's pureblood , and im….im a mudblood. Severus first called me that, I know he didn't mean it but that ended our friendship right there, we haven't spoken since.
"So how was practice?" Ellen looked at me and smiled, "Did Potter take a pop at you again?" I give her a look that could kill and looked down at my plate, it filled with chicken and mashed potato.
"yeah, apparently I was day dreaming.." I let a smile play across my face and look up at the entrance to the hall just as Remus walked through the door, he caught my eye and smiled, I watched him walking down the Gryffindor table towards me, his hair was brushed back and obviously gelled , his robes had been freshly pressed, who was he trying to impress? Surly not me? Oh god, he didn't need to we are already dating!
"hey Lil, you okay?" he looked me in the eyes, that's one of the many things I like about Remus, hes not afraid to look you in the eye, and he's always honest. He produced something from inside his robes, a small box, wrapped in silver paper and elegantly tied with a blue bow, my favourite colour he knows me too well.
Holding out the box he smiles at me, nodding and I reach for the box and he sits down, I lightly finger the wrapping and the ribbon, "What is it?" I ask, as if he's gonna give the surprise away that easily, I know him almost as much as he knows me, but I still haven't found out what he James, Sirius and Peter do every month, its always the same he cant do anything because of this mysterious thing they do.
"you know im not going to tell you, c'mon you finished eating?"
"er..yeah, your not eating?" I looked up at him, hes a considerable size taller than me.
"I already ate, and Sirius told me you would meet me after dinner I thought id come meet you," He smiled and got up, holing out his hand to me, taking it I say bye to Ellen and walk with him still gripping the small box in my palm.
