James Potter was the only guy in the whole wide world who earnestly enjoyed making a fool of himself. Not that he knew, that was what he was ultimately doing, given he was pretty much living in his own world where he was Prince *snort* that everyone worshipped.
The aforementioned idiot is standing by the Black Lake drenched from head to toe, screaming and waving his hands, in the oh so casual way that only he can perfect, in my direction. Merlin! I thought we had come to an understanding about it. That he would stop bugging my life and as a thank you, I would refrain from hexing his man jewels off!( Okay, so maybe we didn't make any such agreement!) But he hadn't bothered me in…whoa…wait a minute…2 months? That's not like him at all. I just assumed he was focusing on getting the top grades for NEWTs or that Remus talked some sense into him and asked him to leave me alone so I could concentrate. But its been 3 days since the exams got over! I bet the Griffindor Prince was too busy after the exams to even ask me out once (even though he found time to do it 1,13,566 times before!).
I cannot believe that that egoistic prat ignored me for 2 months! And now he wants to talk to me? Well I'm not in the mood to listen Potter! You can go and drown yourself in the bloody lake for all I care!
Let me start again properly.
Today is a beautiful day. Period.
You know the days when the sun is shining in all its glory, when the exams are mostly done (although we still have practicals left…maybe I should go practice…), birds chirping, everyone outside to enjoy the weather, you can feel the warmth amongst the students who are trying to absorb and seal memories of castle, joking around with their friends who have grown to be family, on the first Saturday of the last month of the term.
The graduation ceremony is going to take place in two weeks.
Which finds me Lily Evans, Head Girl of Hogwarts sitting under an oak tree with a book on my lap, trying to write a graduation speech.
My friends were on the other side of the Black Lake, Donna Harrington practicing for the tranfiguration practicals and Sarah Davies throwing stones into the water moodily. I wish she'd cheer up! I knew she was trying to think of one of the million reasons why Remus Lupin refused to ask her out. And I know, irrespective of how wild her imagination is, she couldn't have figured out the real reason. Remus and Sarah, had gotten close over the past couple of months with Remus tutoring her for Potions. They flirted occasionally and everyone one who saw them together could see that there was something more than just platonic feelings involved there, but it never led anywhere. I knew Remus had chickened out every time he came close to asking her thnking that Sarah would hate him once he'd tell her his secret. I had told him repeatedly to let her be the judge of that, and that even though people thought Sarah was fragile she was a strong girl who could make her own decisions, but he refused to listen! Open your eyes and see how much that girl loves you Remus!
Seriously! What the hell is wrong with these Marauders!
Which brings me back to the one grinning at me like an idiot and STILL screaming something out. Maybe I should just listen to what Potter has to say and get it over with. Its getting quite annoying really!
"…you wont regret it I swear! COME ON! The water is is not cold at all. Okay not TOO cold. Stop being such a bloody coward…"
Okay something isnt adding up! What is he talking about? Maybe I should pay a little more attention to "…Jenny! Jen! I promise I wont let you drown!"
WHAT? JENNY? JENNY WHO?
Well that kind of explains it I suppose. Now he's giving her his cute innocent pout. Hey! I thought that was reserved for my eyes only!
Now she's walking upto him. Okay fast Lily! Pretend to be writing something! Don't let him know he's got your attention! Well its not as easy as it sounds when my cheeks are on fire! You don't even need to ask me why my cheeks are heated up! Lets see. Embarassment. Shock. Jealousy. No! not jealousy! I refuse to be jealous of some girl just because she has James Potter's attention! Merlin I feel so stupid!
