JAMES'S #POV:

After another week of staying in the Infirmary, James is finally allowed to leave. He heads straight to the library as he's on library duty. He looks around to see if Lily's there. He doesn't see her. Disappointed, He heads to the corner, where there is a pile of books waiting to be sorted. He sits and sorts them, wondering why Lily never wants to go to Hogsmeade with him and occasionally mutters questions to himself as he zones out. His mind wanders and he close my eyes.

"What are you thinking about?" Lily's familiar voice brings him back to earth as he jumps to face her. His eyes snap open and he feels his cheeks warm. "How long have you been there?" He asks quickly. "Not long." She replies with an amused smirk. "Why-wha-what do you want?" He stammers. "I was checking on you." She says.

"You...you care?" He stammers again. She blushes "Of course I care, you're my friend!" She blurts out. "Then why won't you go out with me?" He whispers back. She breathes heavily and avoids his eyes. "Lily?"
"No"
"But-"
"No!"
"Why?" He breathes.

"Because-" she sighs. "Because It wouldn't last, James."
"What?" He asks, stunned. She sighs and replies slowly, like it hurts to speak " We would go out for a week, I'd be happy, you'd run away and find someone else.

That's what you did to Gill." Gill? The small girl with mousy brown hair and a small, uncertain smile. He remembered reading her stories, her fantastic stories. He thought. He had gone out with her for a few weeks. He didn't realise how fast he discarded her. "I'm sorry.. I didn't realise-" "Of course you didn't!" Lily mutters.

She jumps up and walks away. "WAIT!- you're different!" He cries after her, rushing after her and manages to grab her arm as she reached the door. Lily turns and looks at him, her emerald eyes piercing through his hazel ones. "Lily..You're different." He whispers softly. Lily smiles sadly. "How many of them actually believed that?"

He's stunned. "Wha-" he managed, but he's too late. For Lily had pulled her arm away and was sprinting down the hall. "YOU'RE DIFFERENT!" He shouts after her. He starts to follow her but is stopped by an angry librarian. He sighs and continues to sort through books, Disheartened and alone.
