Here's chapter 7 hope you enjoy.
I can't believe that it's October already. The first month has gone so quickly. Things have been great. My friends and I aren't fighting, rounds are fine and classes are good. Well, that's until now.
'James Potter, you give me my shoes right now!' I shouted.
'Never!' He laughed jumping off the sofa.
'That's it, ATTACK!' We chased each other around the common room.
'Come on Lily, feel the burn!' he shouted seeing me get out of breath.
'This isn't fair,' I said as I collapsed onto the sofa.
'I guess I win,' James smirked, jumping onto the sofa beside me. I quickly grabbed my shoes.
'I guess not,' I smiled.
'Unfair,' he huffed, folding his arms.
'I swear you're a five year old,' I sighed. He chuckled.
'You know you love me,' he said sweetly. I hit his arm with my shoe.
'What was that for?' he asked surprised.
'I'm surprised that you felt it, with all the quidditch training,' he laughed.
'Are you coming on Friday?' he asked curious.
'Yes and you better win!'
'For me?' he winked.
'No, this way I can get my best friend back,' I said. 'I haven't talked to Marlene properly in at least two weeks.'
'Oh yeah.'
'You could go easier on her … and yourself,' I said shyly.
'Aww you do care.'
'Do not make me hit you again,' I threatened playfully.
'How are you going to do that if your laughing?'
'Wha… AHHHHH!' I screamed as he tickled me.
'Stop… please,' I shouted between laughs.
'What, more?' he asked playfully. This is where it goes wrong. The common room door opens and in walks Alice, Marlene, Remus and Black.
'Don't mind us,' Black said sarcastically. James quickly stopped and I sat up. I'm sure my face is rivalling my hair colour.
'This is not what it looks like,' I said quickly.
'Lils?' Alice said raising an eyebrow. No, no, no, NO! I looked at James and pleaded with him to explain.
'Well, emm …' he stuttered.
'Prongsie has a girlfriend,' Black sang.
'No he does not!' I screamed.
'Sirius, shut up, we just caught them at a bad time,' Remus said stifling a laugh.
'Oh, shut up you two,' James said. I feel like crying. Black looked at my watery eyes and me and stopped laughing.
'I'm sorry,' he apologised. Everyone stared at him in disbelief.
'It's okay,' I say, even surprising myself, 'but this doesn't leave this room.' I stared at everyone, lingering on James. 'Deal?' I ask menacingly
'Deal,' everyone says scared.
'Good, now, can someone please explain to me how on earth you got in here?'
'We were coming here to see you and we met Remus and Sirius,' Alice volunteered.
'We knocked but there was no answer, so we started guessing and Marlene got it,' Remus finished.
'Okay, come in and take a seat,' James said. We went into the mini kitchen to get some snacks that we had been collecting. I stared at James. He has really nice eyes. We got the snacks and came back.
'This is so cool, guys,' Marlene said.
'Thank you,' I said smiling, 'at least we don't have to wrestle with the first years to get to the good chairs.'
'But that's my favourite part,' Black said. Everyone laughed.
'Lily, I heard that Amos wanted to talk to you,' Marlene said. The boys tensed up slightly.
'Really? What about?' I asked.
'I thought that would have been obvious,' Alice said raising her eyebrows.
'I suppose, he's quite nice,' I said smiling.
'Right ladies, we're off,' James announced.
'Try not to miss us to much,' Black said, though it missed some of his usual energy.
'Bye!' we called as they left. We sat in silence for a while.
'What's up with them?' Marlene said.
'Who knows,' Alice replied.
'Do you want to stay here tonight? I've missed sharing a room with you,' I asked.
'Yes!' they shouted. They got their stuff. We talked for the rest of the evening.
'What are you going to say when Amos asks you out?' Alice asks.
'We don't know if he's going to ask me out,' I said blushing.
'Sure,' Marlene said sarcastically. The night passed quickly. James didn't return. Well, we didn't see him at least. He probably stayed with the boys. It's weird having my friends with me this late but it's nice. We talk to the little hours of the morning. Good thing it's Friday. At around two o'clock we fall asleep in my room, cuddled up together.
We wake the next morning at ten. The sunlight shines through the curtains. I yawn widely.
'I hate the sun sometime,' Alice says grumpily.
'So do I,' I agreed.
'Come on guys, get up, if we do we can get some breakfast,' Marlene suggests. How can she be this awake? We groggily get up, dressed and brushed our teeth. I apply a thin layer of makeup. I add some mascara, eyeliner and lipgloss. I brush my long red locks and grab my wand. I put my wand in my skinny denim jeans and put on my gold necklace that Petunia had given me on my tenth birthday. It rested on my green long sleeved t-shirt. We walk down to the Great Hall and take our usual seats. Alice nudges me and looks up. I see Amos Diggory walking towards me.
'Hello Lily,' he says flicking the hair out of his eyes.
'Hi Amos,' I smile. Amos is in Ravenclaw and a prefect. He is a bit taller than me but smaller than Marlene. He has dirty blonde hair that hangs just over his eyes, which he constantly flicks back. He has blue eyes and is very handsome.
'I was wandering if you would like to go out with me?' he asks confidently. This grabs a few peoples attention. I blush furiously.
'I would like to,' I replied. A couple of people around us smile but some do not. In fact some give me some glares. One of these people is Sirius Black.
'Do you want to go for a walk?' I ask wanting to escape the looks I'm getting.
'Sure thing,' he smiles taking my hand. We walk out of the Great Hall and go outside. We walk around the castle for a while before returning. I give him a quick kiss on the cheek.
'Bye Amos,'
'Bye Lily,' he smiles. I go off to find my friends and tell them about my day. I'm glad I'm going out with Amos. At least that's what I tell myself.
I had fun writing this, let me know what you think please
