Disclaimer: I don't own the amazing Harry Potter!
3rd year
Lily-
Hogsmead was the worst place on earth. No one agreed with her but she held strong to her opinion.
The only reason Lily didn't like Hogsmead was because of Potter. It seemed he had vowed to either himself or his stupid friends that he would not rest until Lily went to Hogsmead with him. On a date: where they would be expected to sit together, and on occasion even embrace. The very idea disturbed her.
Ugh a date, with Potter. Every time she thought about it she shuddered.
When she had found out she could go to Hogsmead she had been so excited and had nearly been jumping up and down while her Mum signed the form, only to discover that whenever she took a trip to Hogsmead Potter wouldn't leave her and her friends alone.
Hogsmead it seemed had offered a new opportunity for young couples (not that there were many). Frank Longbottom had asked Alice to go with him and she had said yes. Lily and Marlene had later found them snogging nonstop in a secluded corner in the Three Broomsticks. Marlene had also been asked, by non-other than Sirius Black, Potters disgusting companion. Marlene however had turned him down flat and walked off leaving him and his fan clubs mouths hanging open.
Although Hogsmead wasn't the only thing troubling Lily. Severus had recently been huddled up in his dorm in the dungeon hanging out with Avery and THOSE kinds of people. Whenever Lily walked by and he was with them she was ignored, yet when they were alone he was the same old Sev. It was confusing.
But recently, everything was confusing.
James-
Hogsmead had giving James another chance. A chance that was rather short with long red hair and green eyes and a pretty nice chest.
If James could convince Lily to go on a date with him everything in the world would be alright; or at least everything for him. 13 was a big age for James and his friends. It actually was for everyone in their year. People had begun getting better "acquainted" with each other and Bar Mitzvahs were being celebrated left and right.
Remus had been acting strange and Sirius and James weren't so sure the visits to his grans actually were visits to his grans.
Sirius had asked Marlene if she wanted to go to Hogsmead with him, which had surprised everyone except for Marlene herself. She had told him that he was pig and the answer was no. She had then strutted away, leaving Sirius so shocked that he had stuttered and mumbled everything he said throughout all of his next classes.
James however, was convinced that if Lily would just give him a chance then he would stop bothering her.
AN: Yay, I'm updating really fast now! So i'm hoping that that chapter was okay and that the characters didn't sound too... old. Thanks!
