"Oh god, not Evans again!" announced James, rolling his eyes. This resulted
in the following.
Sirius punched him in the arm.
Remeus punched him in the other arm and told him to "Ask her out already!"
Sirius punched him in the arm again because he couldn't think of something
witty to say.
It was a well-known fact that Lily and James had a love-hate relationship. James was smitten with Lily, but so far managed to always screw it up by being egotistic around her. He tried to impress her the way he did the others (which, of course never worked). This resulted in Lily's opinion of James lowering to unimaginably low standards.
And now they stood on platform 9 ¾ , glaring at each other with the utmost loathing.
"Why don't you grow up already, James?" snapped Lily, "You're supposed to be Head Boy. How much did you pay them for the position?"
"I wouldn't have accepted the position as Head Boy if I knew I'd have to share a bathroom with you."
As you can probably tell, Lily and James' strained relationship had reached its peak.
Lily, always quick to hit back stated, "On the contrary, James, I think that is exactly why you accepted the position." And with that, she turned on her heel.
James was gobsmacked. Completely and utterly gobsmacked. Lily NEVER got one up on him. It was impossible. James Potter, the most popular boy in school was never at a loss for words. Its funny, thought James, how love can render you senseless.
"Aargh!" James screamed outloud. Just where did that come from? I don't love Evans! No way! Yuck!
"Calm down, James my man!" Sirius said, patting him on his back. "She had to get you one time. I mean, you can't expect to win all the time. It's just not fair. Let's just say that you let her win. End of matter."
Remeus chose this moment to pipe up. "So you were telling us about your summer holidays, James?"
*****
James left his compartment and made his way to the Head compartment. He couldn't stand all the girls that kept coming in to see him and Sirius. Honestly! I mean, he knew that him and Sirius were wanted property, but the girls could have at least waited until they got to Hogwarts! But, James reasoned with himself, two months away from the sexiest men on the planet can do that to some people. He couldn't blame them, really. Sometimes James wondered if he should give up girls all together and go off and have a passionate love affair with himself. He stopped at a window and looked at his reflection. 'Who am I kidding?' he thought to himself, 'Evans will never like me.'
"Woah, where did that one come from? I really need to stop doing this!" James mused out loud.
"Stop doing what?" a cool voice inquired.
No way. Not Evans. This has to be the worst timing in the world. Wait a second. what is that feeling. my cheeks are bur. NO WAY!!! I'm blushing! In front of Evans! SHIT!!!
James, take control of the situation, you git. That's what you do. "Nothing." He retorted, plainly.
"Well if you ask me," Lily butted in, "you really need to stop looking at yourself in the mirror."
For the second time that day, Lily had rendered James speechless. No way!, he thought to himself, twice in the same day!
a/n: Ok, this is my first fic, so please, I want constructive criticism. Some ideas of what you want in future chapters. All reviewers get thanked at the end of next chapter, which is longer and nearly written. Thanks! Kimberly
