"Hi Lily!" Sarah, a girl with medium long blonde hair and blue eyes, said

"Hi Sarah, why are you so happy?" Lily asked curiously, for her friend was practically jumping up and down.

"Guess who asked me out on my way back from the Hospital Wing?"

"Who?"

"Sirius!"

"Black!"

"I know!"

"That's great!" Lily said. She knew she liked him for ages.

"Have you got a date yet?" Sarah asked

"Yes, John Harrison" Lily replied sulkily

"John Harrison, Lils, are you out of your damn mind?"

"I don't know, maybe I am" Lily sighed

"What about Potter?"

"What about him?"

"Why didn't you wait for him to ask you?"

"For the last time, Sarah, I don't like that git!" Lily said angrily

"Well, you've got to admit he's a handsome git." Sarah smiled mischievously

"We've been over this, come on, we'll be late for Transfiguration" Lily said

"I don't think I'll ever get through to you" Sarah sighed

James stared out into the window. It was a horrible day; it looked just like his mood. He had no date to Hogsmead tomorrow, no, that was the wrong way to say it. Lily Evans was not his date.

"Are you going to Hogsmead tomorrow?" He asked Sirius

"Er... yes...but...er...I've kind of got a date." He said, not looking at James

"What about you, Moony?"

"What? Oh, er..."

"Wormtail, don't tell me you've got a date"

"Well, actually, I wasn't planning on going, you see, I've got a lot of homework to catch up on..."

"Fine, I'll just go by myself then" James said angrily, and went right back at looking out the window, as Professor Binns droned on and on.

Lily woke the next day to find rain pounding against the window. Maybe if she pretended to be sick...no, she wasn't a liar.

"Good Morning Lils!" Sarah said excitedly

"'Mornin" Lily said glumly, as she got out of bed.

She dressed in silence, and went to go eat breakfast.

"Do I look alright, I mean, don't tell me I'm having a bad hair day, or that—"

"Oh shut up, Sarah, you look fine!" Lily said in a annoyed voice.

Sarah fell silent at once, and looked very hurt.

"I'm sorry, Sarah, it's just that, well, I'm not looking forward to Hogsmead." Lily muttered

"That's ok, I get it"

James, who happened to be sitting a few seats away from Lily, heard this and was slightly cheerful all through breakfast.

John was waiting for her in the entrance hall. She waved unenthusiastically and came over to him.

"Shall we go then?" He asked politely

"Yes, ok" she mumbled

They walked into hogsmead, and the rain stopped temporarily.

"Let's go to the three broomsticks, ok?" Lily asked, rather rudely.

"Ok"

They entered the warm pub and ordered butterbeers. They sat across from each other for about Twenty minutes and didn't say anything. Lily was looking out the window, watching the passerby's. Then she saw a girl, about 9 years old, walking with her parents outside, and laughing and having a great time. To her horror, she felt a lump rise in her throat. She couldn't stop the tears from coming.

"I-I-'m sorry John." She stuttered and ran out of the pub, leaving a very confused john behind her.

Damn it! James walked along the street, hands jammed in his pockets. Why the hell did it have to start raining now? It was pouring, harder than ever. He was the only one on the street. He kept his head down as he walked. Everyone was inside, couples snuggling with each other. This made him angrier, so he walked faster. Then he bumped into to somebody. It was Lily.
