I loathe you, or is it love?


Chapter two: Bella, how could you?!



Lily was fuming. As she slammed shut the door of her dorm, she sat down on her bed and pulled the curtains over. There was still half an hour to Transfiguration, and Lily was glad of it. She could write in her diary before having to face both Arabella and transfiguration (Lily's best subject was Charms).
She pulled out her diary and started to write.


Dear diary,

Argh! I am SOOOOO annoyed at Arabella!! First of all she says I like Potter! Come on diary, James bloody Potter? Please! I deserve a LITTLE more respect than that!
And diary, as if that wasn't enough to make me angry, she goes and practically hero-worships idiots best friend! (The idiot would Potter) Hello, diary...you guessed yet? Sirius!! Sirius Black, the one who helped with the blue hair! Well, maybe it's just me being stupid? Am I over-reacting a little? Maybe...I mean, diary.... Remus would be fine, but Sirius? The only person Arabella could go out with which would hurt me more would be James Potter. Which isn't saying much. And let's face it, Arabella is NOT that stupid.
Or at least...I hope not. But maybe she is, I mean where would she get the idea that I like Potter? Uh-oh.... Has Arabella been taking too much Chocolate Frogs? She gets high on them... But no, I don't think she has.... No, of course she won't have, I'm just being silly as usual... well maybe it's me being silly? But there is no way I approve of stupid, meaningless, time-wasting and totally FOOLISH pranks, diary. Oops...got to go! Charms is in five minutes and I wouldn't want to miss the first lesson back, cos Charms is after Transfiguration and I don't want to be kept back...cos Charms is easily the coolest subject! Well, flying is good, but its not going to get me a job as an auror or in the Ministry is it?
I might forgive Bella.... after all, there's no accounting for taste...
Yours, (although still slightly angry)
Lily

Meanwhile, James and Sirius were walking leisurely to Transfiguration, talking about.... Well, it wasn't a deep and meaningful conversation...
"Common sense, Prongs, my common sense!" said Sirius.
"What common sense?" replied James. "You don't have any common sense! And neither do I! We pride on it, remember?"
"Oh..." replied Sirius airily, "It's not MY common sense..." I just borrowed it off Remus." And they both burst into laughter and walked into Transfiguration.

Lily entered the Transfiguration classroom a few minutes after James and Sirius and found Arabella, who was saving her a seat in the middle of the class. To Lily's dismay, James and Sirius were at the table in front of them. Taking a deep breath, Lily walked over to Arabella, who was in an animated conversation with Sirius, and smiled.
"Hey!" said Arabella. "You'll never guess what!!"
Lily was afraid she knew what was coming, but decided that maybe Sirius wasn't as bad as James, and that she could be totally wrong.
Unfortunately for Lily, Arabella said very excitedly: "Sirius and I are going out with each other!!"
Lily smiled, and said, with great difficulty, "that's great!"
Bella grinned back, and started to say something, but Professor McGonnagal had walked into the room so she shut her mouth again. As McGonnagal gave her usual talking and then set them to work trying to transfigure goblets into knifes. Lily was hopeless at Transfiguration. As she tried desperately to get her goblet to change not just to silver but to a knife again, she saw with annoyance that James Potter had already got a nice shiny knife. Arabella was halfway there with hers and had managed to get it to change shape when the bell rang.
As Lily was about to leave, Professor McGonnagal asked her to stay behind. Lily noticed that James and Sirius were still messing around, appearing to be in no hurry to get to Charms. Lily thought she knew why, James was as bad at Charms as she was at Transfiguration. McGonnagal told Lily she would like her to have someone help her in Charms. Lily was a little hurt, but on the whole not very surprised. She hoped that Professor McGonagall would suggest Arabella...
"I think your coach should be...Potter." Said McGonagall. She was unable to not notice the look of sheer stubbornness that had appeared on Lily's face.
"I'm sorry, Miss Evans," said McGonagall briskly. She continued: "In return for his help in Transfiguration coaching, Professor Flitwick and I have decided you will coach James in Charms." Lily was astounded. Potter and her, having to spend at least...how long was it going to be?
"Two hours a week should do it," said McGonnagal, as if in answer to her thoughts. She called over Potter and told him what she had just told Lily. Lily wondered why she hadn't told them both at once...
