Chapter 3: What Is Going ON?

"Finally!" Sirius said, giving James a high five.

"How did that happen?" Bridget asked Lily.

James had told everyone the news of him and Lily.

"I don't know," Lily said, not making eye contact with anyone. "I decided to…give him a chance."

"What happened to 'the slimy git'?" asked Bridget.

"I don't know, okay?" Lily said, testily.

"Okay," Bridget said, taken aback.

"How'd you do it?" Sirius asked James.

"Well, she finally realized that she couldn't resist me," James said, putting his arm around his new girlfriend. Lily tried to pull away, but James tightened his grip and Lily gave up, leaning back.

Later that day, Lily was walking to her Transfiguration class, when she saw Logan in the hallway.

"Hey, Logan," Lily called.

Logan turned around, but when he saw who it was, he just turned back around and kept walking. Lily chased after him.

"Hey, Logan, wait up," she said, catching up to him.

"What do you want, Evans," he said, harshly.

"I want to talk," Lily said, "I think we had a misunder-"

"How can it be a misunderstanding?" Logan asked. "I like you. I thought you liked me too, but you chose him. I have no idea why, but there you go."

"No, Logan," Lily tried to explain, "it's not like that. I wish I could explain, but I can't."

"Well, I can't take it. Bye Lily," Logan said and he went into her classroom. The bell rang, but Lily just leaned against the wall outside of Professor Flitwick's room.

"Go to class, Miss Evans," Professor Flitwick squeaked.

"Okay," Lily sighed.

But she didn't go to Transfiguration. She couldn't stand to see James. He was so immature! Threatening her grade to go out with her? How low can you get? Apparently very low. And he thought this would make her like him? Turning her friends against her? She would never like him. Ever.

She walked into the common room and plopped down on the couch.

"I don't understand," Lily said.

"It sounds complicated, but it's simple after you get it the first time," James explained.

They were working on Conjuring spells. Lily just couldn't get it. It was a build off of regular Transfiguration, the class that she was failing.

"Here, you just-" James started. He got behind Lily and held her hand to show her the wand movement. But he got distracted. He was so close to her, and she smelled so good. Then, she looked around and their eyes met, (they were so green). James didn't know what he was thinking. He knew as soon as he started that he'd be dead when Lily realized what was happening. But he did it anyway. He leaned down and he kissed her. To his great surprise, she kissed back. He realized this and smiled. But then, Lily must have figured out who she was actually kissing, and pulled away, a scared look on her face. She dropped her wand and ran out of the classroom.

James just stood there with a blank look on his face. Then, he smiled. She had kissed back. Maybe she did like him. It was a possibility. He was irresistible, after all.

She kissed me back! James did a triumphant little jump (although it doesn't sound like it, it was quite masculine in James' opinion). Then he took his and Lily's bags and headed up to the common room.

Lily Evans kissed me back! James thought, still trying to believe it was true.

What was going on?

Lily stormed past her concerned friends up to the girls' dormitory. She pulled the curtains around her bed, and started to cry. Then she thought of something. She went back through the common room, going past all of the "Lily what's wrong?"s and the "What's going on,"s, and out into the corridor. She went to the Quidditch pitch, where, sure enough, the regular fixture of Logan Wood was practicing. He landed to go get a drink from the locker rooms, and Lily ran up to him. When she got to him, she reached up and kissed him. He seemed surprised and first, but quickly obliged and kissed her back. As soon as he did, however, she pulled away.

It was just as she feared.

Nothing.

No spark.

No fireworks.

No feeling.

The exact opposite as James' kiss.

What was going on?

"Hey, babe," Sirius said, coming up from behind Bridget. "What's up?"

"Not your chances of getting with me," Bridget said, walking away.

Sirius just got rejected.

What was going on?

Sirius looked over to Remus and Claire snogging on the couch.

Seriously, what was going on?

A/N: I know it was short, but it had a lot of stuff happening. And I hope you liked it. I wish I could come up with some clever way to make you laugh and reveiw again, but I just went through 3 hours of testing at school today, so I'm not quite up to it. So reveiw please:-)
