Making Friends

Everyone was stunned at Lily's audacity, but also impressed at her cool-headedness. She had kept the armchair, and carried on reading her book without a care in the world.

"More Ravenclaw I think." One girl whispered.

From across the room James and Sirius were watching her. They had heard the fight and were smiling at each other. "That ones got fire." Sirius whispered.

"Mmm…" James hummed thoughtfully

"But she's with that Snivellus bloke."

"Grrr…"

"Wonder what he's got over her."

"Grrrrrr…"

"James? You sound like your having a shit."

"Do I?"

"Yes."

Sirius laughed but James still gazed at Lily. He felt a lightly warm feeling in his gut and a smile on his lips. "Lily." He whispered so his new friend could not hear. At that moment Lily looked across the room and saw James Potter's eyes on hers. She dropped her gaze down but not before James saw a glimpse of emerald eyes.

"Is there something wrong, Potter?" Lily called. James looked up, shocked that she would address him.

"Why would there be something wrong, Evans?" James said smoothly. He plastered his trademark grin, that the girls were already swooning for. "Unless you want me to make some trouble." He smiled mischievously.

Lily could feel her cheeks blushing, but plowed on. "I don't care what you do Potter so long as you don't stare at me whilst you do it." She said carelessly.

Sirius laughed and clapped him on the back "Mate, not her. She need to be tamed first." Everyone laughed quietly and Lily mutinously read her book.

"By who?" James asked his seemingly knowing friend.

"Whoever can be bothered."
