Chapter 4
'Oh, GOD HELP ME ALICE! I AM DYING IN MY OWN LOVE FOR JAMES POTTER!" Lily gasped without a breath.'
"OMG, SLOW DOWN LILY, YOU ARE GOING TO SUFFOCATE!" Alice yelled. "Okay, deep breath, deep breath. CHRIST LILY DO YOU WANT TO WAKE UP THE WHOLE SCHOOL!"
"Sorry." Lily smiled sheepishly. "What am I going to do?"
"Confess," Alice stated with a nod of her head.
"Confess? What are you on about Alice, confess to what? The Gods? Pray for forgiveness over the sins of being in love with James Potter?"
"O.M.G. Did you just say you are in love with James POTTER? As in L.O.V.E with P.O.T.T.E.R?"
"Crap. Alice, you need to help me!"
"Honey, you can't stop being in love with someone. And by the way, I mean confess to James about your feelings." Alice said the last statement with many pauses as though she was speaking to a slow person.
"What? I can't do that! 'Hey, James, I am in love with you! Isn't that funny? After years of HATING YOUR GUTS! I love you! Let's ditch school and get married!" Lily said sarcastically.
"Ok, fine. You have a month to stop 'being in love with James Potter.' If you are still in love with him, by the end of the month, you have to tell him. Okay?"
"What? Alice it's already been two months into school, and it'd been developing rapidly! How is it supposed two stop! Uh uh, I REFUSE!"
"Fine, then I'm telling him NOW."
"NOW? NO WAY!" Alice stood up and had just reached the door handle.
"WAIT. Wait. Okay, I'll do it. A month okay."
"Okay, but I swear if you don't tell him by the end of the month, I WILL!"
"Okay, Alice, you can tell him later. Goodnight."
"Nighty, Night! Have sweet dreams of kissing James!" Alice exited.
"Hey! You take that back!" It was too late Alice was already out the door.
- In the Gryffindor Common Room -
James sat on the couch, tapping his fingers waiting for Alice's return. The rest of Gryffindor were partying it up. Alice stepped through the portrait hole. James shot up and walked over to Alice.
"Is she okay." James inquired.
"She's fine. Just tired. You look exhausted. You should get some shut-eye. Good Night."
"Night." James replied, and just as he stepped through the portrait hole, Alice called back,
"By the way James, it's your lucky month!"
James continued walking down the halls to the head's dorms, confusion clearly sketched on his face. "What was that about?" James muttered to himself. As he passed Lily's room he peered inside to check if she was asleep. She was lying on the bed with a smile on her face. Her fiery red hair fanned out on her pillow, snoring quietly (but very cutely). James smiled. She looked like an angel. James slowly shut the door, and headed to his room. He threw off his quidditch jersey and crawled into bed.
