Decisions
Lily Evans was feeling unsatisfied. She sat in a compartment with her closest friends: Marlene McKinnon and Alice Fortiscue. They all three were clever, funny and popular girls. The sixth year, in their opinion, had been a walk-through and expected to get high grades.
Lily's feelings were mainly due to her status as 'taken'. She had given into a boy who had nagged her to go out with him for the last five years. Her thoughts were confused: she liked James, and was beginning to see his good side; but he still did hex people for no reason and was arrogant. He was over the moon when she had walked over after he had won the Quidditch House Cup for Gryffindor and kissed him.
Her friends were busy telling her about how lucky she was. "He's gorgeous, loaded and also a decent guy." Her friend Marlene was lovely, but abscessed with boys and also painstakingly blunt.
"James isn't that bad Lily. He gave you an end-of-year present that cost loads." Alice pointed out.
"Money isn't everything..."
"But kindness and consideration is. You haven't taken off the bracelet yet!" Alice was on a roll here, Lily couldn't stop her. "Lily, you just want to hate him, but you can't find a reason to any more! Just...allow him time to show you that there's no reason to try and hate him."
"You're very affectionate." Lily said viciously.
"Maybe. Lily, try and get to know him. Over the holidays, or something. You should've seen his face after Quidditch..."
"I couldn't, I was too busy snogging him."
"True." Marlene mused.
"Don't mention it. I've got a whole two months to think about what to do." Lily ended the conversation with a feeling of gloom in her stomach.
