CHAPTER 8
THE NOTE
LILY POV
James pulled back from Leah and stared at me in shock before exclaiming,
"What the bloody hell?!"
I opened my mouth and then closed it, feeling like I was going to explode.
"You chased after me for seven years James Potter. Did you know that? Of course you don't remember. Of course not." I said to him with a rueful smile.
"What do you mean I 'chased after you'?! I don't even know you Evans!" James replied, utterly bemused. All the while Leah watched us, her big blue eyes flying back and forth as if she was watching a particularly interesting quidditch game.
"Yeah well, you used to." I said, turning and walking away. I was tired of games right now.
SIRIUS POV
James came huffing into view with a serious look on his face. Oh shit, that look usually means bad stuff. I wondered vaguely what the hell had happened as James leaned his palms on his bent knees, catching his breath.
"Padfoot…" He panted, "I…kissed…Leah…" He gasped. My eyebrows shot up and I slapped his back, roaring,
"Good one Prongsie! We should celebrate! I bet Gideon can get us some fire whiskey if we ask real nice!" I said, getting excited. However, James shook his head and muttered something that sounded an awful lot like "Evans". I cussed silently, watching him closely. He seemed just as clueless as ever.
"I was kissing her, right" James started, waving his arms animatedly while looking like a troll doing ballet, "And it was bloody great! I mean, we were getting pretty far and then all of the sudden WHAM!" At this point, he hit his palm with his fist, demonstrating the sound effects, "And you know who walks in?! Lily bloody Evans mate! Walks in and is all "You're a pig potter!" and I'm all "What the hell" y'know? Cause I mean, what did I even DO to her?!" He exclaimed, eyes wide and still panting but more from the story than anything else. I gaped at him for a moment.
"You know mate, it sounds like you should have a word with Lily-flower, about personal boundaries." I said, making a 'man' face. James nodded and said,
"Yeah, yeah I think I'll do that mate. Thanks Padfoot." And then he walked away with a grin. I was really starting to miss mushy lovey dovey crazy Prongs.
ALICE POV
I was sitting in my dorm, on my bed with Lily (Lily was pretty much back in our dorm since James wasn't sleeping in the Heads dorm anymore either). Our books and notes were spread out so that they would be of more use for our studying. Just then, the door opened and in walked Potter. I wasn't sure whether to laugh or groan, so instead I watched Lily look up veeeery slowly and meet his eyes with a strange expression. Oh my Merlin! She loves him! Well, at least she really likes him.
"Evans" He grunted, her eyebrow rose, "We need to talk." He said. Lily rolled her eyes and sat up, her legs hanging over the edge of the bed.
"What is it?" She asked, sounding weary. I wondered what exactly had happened when she went to talk to him earlier.
"Well…uh…you can't come barging into my room anytime you want, for one, and you can't just go saying things about how I've been 'chasing after you' when I hardly know you!" He exclaimed. This time I laughed. Lily was blushing slightly, but said,
"Well you did. Look…" And she pulled a crinkled sheet of paper out of her pocket, standing and crossing the room to hand it to him. He looked down at it, reading slowly. His face changed colors as his eyes continued down the page. He made a grab for it, but Lily snatched it out of his reach, carefully tucking it back into her pockets.
"Where did you get that?!" He exclaimed. I leaned back against the pillows, waiting to see what would happen next.
