Maybe I was wrong:
Lily
Guess what happened today? I had transfiguration, not only was that my worst subject, but today I was partnered up with James Potter, my worst enemy! A marauder! I despise him! Him and his little friends, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew! He always annoyed me, asked me out, and cursed Slytherins' (not that that isn't a good thing but it's against the school rules!)
"How is my lily-flower today?" he asked. Flashing me a haughty grin. That grin was strong enough to make me want to kiss him! I really did! I mean Lily Evans kiss James Potter? That's bizarre! "I see you are falling for the Potter Charm! I can see it in your eyes!" James said after my little minute of staring. I blushed a light shade of crimson. He smirked. I rolled my eyes.
"Mr. Potter, Ms. Evans I'm sure you know what to do! Get to work or it will be 15 points from Gryffindor." McGonagall said, coming to our table. I gasped; I can't possibly loose 15 points. Potter banged his fist on the table. At that McGonagall added, "Each". This wasn't fair. We only took a minute of our time away. It wasn't like we were disrupting the class! We were just taking time from us, not from anyone else, and it had been only a minute, three minutes but I doubt it!
"I'm not your lily-flower!" I said through gritted teeth. I really did hate it when people called me that. The only person I allow to call me that is well, my dad.
"Of coarse, flower of the forest." He said, now smirking. "Ok, Flower, lets get started with this book shall we?"
I glared at him but nodded. We had to turn the book into an animal but before turning it into an animal we had to look through it to find out how. McGonagall said that we would pay more attention to the class if we did it ourselves and she said that we would learn more. She also said that anyone who didn't successfully turn the book into some kind of animal would loose 5 points from their house. She said that we were not allowed to turn it into anything big or illegal.
Trying to have a civil conversation with the ass-hole I said, "Since we were forced to become partners, we need to have an equal share of work…"
"How about you find a page that's good for what we are doing and I read about it and we each get to try. If you don't make it I try and we keep on going at that pattern until one of us succeeds." Potter interrupted. I frowned, not liking to be interrupted. Then I smiled.
"Spoken like a respectable student. I like that idea." I complimented. He shrugged.
"It's a gift." For the first time I actually laughed at James Potter. "So…"
"So...What?" I questioned.
"Start turning the pages, come on! GO! GO! GO!" I smiled slightly and looked at the table of contents. I placed the book in my lap. Wow! It was heavy, so I set it back on the table.
"Ok ..." I mumbled, "let's see…" I could sense Potter looking at me, checking me out, I guess. I smiled to myself. "Here," I said handing the book to Potter, "Page 984, and paragraph 3."
"Ok." Potter said as I handed him the book. "Ok Animal transfiguration is a complicated stream of magic, yeah blah, blah, blah, blah… oh here it is, wave your wand as if you are tracing waves in the ocean and recite the words Transfeg and the animal you want to transfigure the object to and add the motion for the animal. Look at the chart below to see the different kinds of wand motions." He narrated. "Ok what animal are we doing?"
"I don't want anything too complicated like an owl because the owl can do all sorts of things fly, carry mail, hoot, so I suspect that would be very difficult. I have allergies to cats, though they are probably not that easy but not too difficult. I think a small puppy would be just adorable and not that hard."
"Yeah I also have allergies to cats. Ok a puppy would be reasonable."
"Great! So what's the motion for a puppy or dog?" I asked.
"An owl, no. a ferret, no. A cat, no. Kitten, no. Dog, no. Puppy, n-yes. Here it is. for a puppy you have to draw a small peanut in the air, no idea why, but that's what it says."
"Are you kidding Potter?" At that he shook his head seriously. "Give me that!" I said seizing the book from his hands. Indeed it was as he said it. "Ok fine," I was looking at the page very suspiciously. I took the book and recited, "Transfeg German Shepard!" Making the wave motion and the peanut motion. I had a very weird looking German Shepard. His whole body was a book just with a tail and head.
"Here let me try." Potter said. "Transfeg German Shepard!" He was very excellent at transfiguration. It front of me stood a German Shepard. Every detail in the animal was exact, just like my dog. This one was just a puppy.
Of course I had seen magic before, but Pot-James had created something I never seen before. Well actually I once saw McGonagall turn her desk into a goat but that was a long time ago. I never had seen a student do it with no difficulty at all. I guess that all I just thought was written on my facial expression because at that James said, "Surprised I did that Flower?" I laughed. "What?" he asked looking childlike, with puppy eyes and curled lips and scrunched nose. He and the German Shepard looked almost identical. I almost felt bad for laughing at him. I always thought James Potter was very attractive but here he was in front of me looking so adorable.
"You Puppy!" I laughed. He smirked. I laughed.
"Mr. Potter, Ms, Evans, I said I would take 15 points away so I…" McGonagall came over and saw the Dog, "Everyone look this way at Mr. Potter and Ms. Evans's creation!" she announced to the class. "Why a German Shepard? Very good, excellent! 30 points to Gryffindor." I smiled, that was nice of her.
By the time class finished only a few students ended up making animals. Some of the people who did were my friend Olivia Smith and her partner Charles Lion, Zoë Masons and Barbra Masons, and Jason Crotchen and Alicia Miller.
"How was Transfiguration with Potter?" asked Zoë Masons as we came into our dormitory for a little break. She loved gossip! She always thought that if a female gets paired up with a male then they are officially have some sort of relationship.
"Not bad, actually! He is very funny and incredibly smart! You should have seen him transfigure that book! He even let me keep the puppy. Well actually he said that I can have him as long as he gets to see it sometime too! And when he smiles I literally feel my knees go weak! You should have seen his face when I laughed at him though! He looked exactly like Jorie! He was so cute. I always thought that he was good-looking but when he had that face he was so much like a puppy!" I think I said that all in one breath!
"Oh my goodness! Is Lily Evans falling for James Potter?" Olivia Smith said. She was a muggle born like me. She used to go out with Potter in the middle of 5th year and they broke up last year, in 5th. They both said they loved each other, but like brother and sister. They were very close.
"No I'm not! I just find him amusing and tremendously gorgeous!"
"Listen to yourself, Lily!" replied Barbra Masons, Zoë's twin sister.
"Yeah Lils." Said Anita Gray another one of my friends. Tina Twain and Janice Crone laughed.
"Oh James did this James did that! Really Lily, we're not that thick!" Tina said.
"Anyone of you could have fooled me!" I said coolly. "Really, this it the first time I actually didn't get mad at potter or complain about him, this was just one day! Maybe he would do something dim-witted tomorrow and I will detest him again? Stop going into these weird conclusions! It's already annoying!" I complained.
"You know I'm with Lillian, here." Olivia stated. "She's right just because she thinks he is adorable does not mean she likes him! Really!"
"Oh but Livy, we are just getting started!" said Janice. I glowered at her and stuck my tongue out! "What Lily? We are only telling the truth!" she said making puppy eyes nowhere near as cute as James's! Well I guess I thought James's were cuter since he was a guy and I kinda like him.
"Come on Olive lets get out of here!" I said to Olivia. She nodded and we marched out! Not knowing where we were going we just decided to just take a walk around the castle, maybe even go into the kitchens to grab a bite to eat, and then we would walk around the lake and just have girl talk!
James
I was partners with Lily Evans today! I didn't do anything stupid and she laughed at me, and she probably thought I was good-looking since she kept staring at me, and was surprised that I'm as smart as Dumbledore! Ok, fine, I'm not as smart as Dumbledore but hey? I'm still smart! Anyway here comes Sirius, oh no he has that look again! HELP ME! Oh thank goodness here comes Remus to the rescue! Where is Peter though? He is almost never present! Oh well, Pete, you're missing out on the fun.
"Prongs! Prongs! What did Lily-love do today? Details please!" Sirius came into the common room. I was sitting on my favorite arm-chair by the fire doing a report for Professor Higgins, the potions master.
"Sirius, you sound like a girl! Really." Remus was saying over and over again.
"Details Prongs? D-E-T-A-I-L-S!" Sirius said as he sat down beside me! Remus was getting a seat at the other side of me now shaking his head and laughing.
I turned to Remus, "Help me!" I said desperately.
"No can do Prongs! Padfoot actually makes sense here, not that it's the right way to ask. I'm sure that even, Wormtail wants to know what happened with you and your flower." Remus said calmly.
"Who said my name?" Peter asked as he came into the portrait hole.
"Where were you?" I said trying to change the subject.
"Kitchens, I'm ravenous!" he replied. "Now, who said my name?"
"I did!" said Remus.
"Can we please stay on the subject?" Sirius said annoyed, now. "See Wormy, Werepuppy and me would like to know what happened between Lily-Love and Jim-Prongs. Why didn't Love-Lily smack Jimsiekins on the face, why didn't she scream at him, why did she stare at him and laugh at him? Savvy?"
"I yes Prongs, why didn't she?" Peter said.
"I don't know. I guess she likes me. Maybe she just wants to be civil with everyone this year? I don't know." I answered annoyed.
"No! No! No!" Remus said now. "Prongs, you might have had a girlfriend in the past but you know absolutely nothing about women! Jim just didn't do anything stupid this time! Aren't I right?"
"I guess. I don't know!" I answered.
"Werepuppy is right!" Sirius stated. "Jimmy-boy didn't do anything stupid! Yay! Let's go to the kitchens and rejoice?"
"How about not and say we did?" I suggested.
"Fine Pronsiekins, you are turning into a mature Werepuppy like Moonie here." Sirius huffed.
"I'm not a Werepuppy!" Remus said. "I'm a grown werewolf who can attack you anytime if I wanted to! So stop calling me that!"
"Fine!" Sirius said, sulking out through the portrait hole, muttering something about werepuppies.
It's so like Sirius to get everyone annoyed. Nothing happened between Lily Evans and me! Nothing!
"Hey he has a point" said voice so much like Remus's said.
Remus! Get out of my head!
I'm not Remus!
You are my conscience aren't you?
Yep! Now that you found out who I am you're stuck with me! Sirius has a point!
No!
Do you like her?
Yes, so she still hates me!
Maybe she doesn't!
Yeah she does!
Maybe if you stop acting like an idiot and act more mature she might like you back! You acted like that during transfiguration!
What? No I didn't! I acted like myself!
Maybe it's that you're maturing and growing older and those old things just go away without you noticing!
Yeah Maybe! Still Lily Evans hates me!
Maybe she doesn't! If you act the way you did with her today maybe she would come around and see you are not that bad!
Can we please stop talking!
If you take my advice, then we will!
Fine! Ill try to act the way I did today when Lily Evans is around!
No! Not only for Lily, for Everyone!
Fine!
Say "I James Potter,
I, James Potter
Will not act like an idiot in front of everyone!
Will not act like an idiot in front of everyone!
I will act the way I did in transfiguration
I will act the way I did in transfiguration
Especially in front on Lily Evans
Especially in front of Lily Evans
Good
Good!
You can stop copying me now!
Ok!
Bye for now! But I am watching you!
Stupid voice inside my head!
Hey! I heard that!
I am talking to myself! Where has this world of ours gone to?
Whatever!
Get out of my brain Remus!
I'm not Remus!
Yes you are no matter what you say!
You are acting childish!
Whatever!
But you promised...
that I wouldnt be an idiot. I didnt, however promise not to act childish.
Its the same thing!
No its not! Get out of my head, Remus!
I am not Remus!
Sure, thats what you want me to think!
Ugh!
