"POTTER!" she cried.
"Actually, it's Black. Turn around." said a voice.
Lily turned around, and saw Sirius Black standing behind her, with a satisfied smirk on his face. "But... but… but I swear I just heard Potter's voice!"
"Actually, you did. Look at the seat in front of you." said Black.
What is it with Sirius Black and tuning around? Lily thought, but she turned around and saw nothing. But then James Potter appeared out of nowhere, holding a long silvery cloak.
"You have an Invisibility Cloak?" she asked, stunned. "Well, that explains a lot. I was wondering…" she said, but then she broke off, blushing.
"You were thinking of me?" asked James, smirking.
God, I wish he would stop smirking, thought Lily. It's so unnerving! He's so, so, cute! Wait. That is just wrong! This is POTTER that I just thought was cute. Get that thought out of your head right now, Lily Elizabeth Evans. NOW!
"Hello, hello, are you there?" said James, waving his hand in front of Lily's face.
"Oh, huh, what?" said Lily, confused.
"Well, you were staring at me for the past 30 seconds, blushing, with a very dreamy look on your face." pointed out James, smiling.
Lily blushed furiously. "I'm leaving now." she said, and attempted get up out of her chair. But somehow, she couldn't get out of her chair.
"POTTER!" she shouted, glaring at James. "You planned this, didn't you? You set me up! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!"
"Now, n…now, let's not b…be hasty." sputtered James, terrified. "I didn't plan this. I didn't even know that I was going to be with you until Sirius told me about 5 minutes ago. He put a spell on the chair. You can't get out of the chair unless I let you. You can go now, if you want." He sounded so sincere and put down, that Lily just had to smile.
"I'm sorry." she apologized. "I really am. I shouldn't have said that to you. I guess I was just really mad. If you want me to stay, I will. But there's just one thing," she said, her voice suddenly growing serious. "Don't take advantage of me."
James grinned. "I won't." he promised. "I'll go get some butterbeers, and then, we can go to Quentin's Quidditch Supplies!" And he went to the counter.
Lily rolled her eyes. What had she gotten herself into?
