TO JAMES OR NOT TO JAMES
The door to the girls dormitories flew open and Lily Evans walked into the room. Three pairs of eyes were looking at her from her bed while she stood in the doorway. Her three friends waited for her to say something (she had being missing all day, since McGonagall had put both James Potter and her in detention for making a "love scene" as she had put it, in her class), but as it seemed that nobody was prepeared to say a word, Camila decided to start.
-"Welcome back, stranger. You´ve been on the run for about eight hours. You could have at least told us where you were and we could have gone to bed without worrying for you."
-"Sorry...I...I needed to be alone for a bit"-she answered
Maggie thought that now that her friend was back she could perfectly go to bed and so, excusing herself and saying that it had been a very hard day, she got up and walked over to her bed. In just two minutes she was snoring and probably dreaming.
-"It´s incredible! How does she do it?"-Lulu was staring in amazement at her friend-"This summer we were in a shop, really noisy, and I went to try on a vest, you know? And when I came out...She was sleeping on a couch!"
-"Well, she is right. It´s been a hard day, too much work, so I guess that bthe minute we get into bed we´ll find it as easy as her to fall asleep."- said Cami.
-"Then I´m going to bed too. I can´t keep my eyes open for one more second."-replied Lucia-"Goodnight girls"
Lily walked over to her bed and she climbed in next to her best friend.
-"Are you going to tell me what all that was about or you prefer to do it another day?"-asked Camila
-"I don´t know. But I can´t stop thinking about what Maggs said, about that girl and James going out. I can´t get him out of my head."
-"yeah, well, that´s what usually happens when you´re into someone, you know?"
-"What! Cam... I... I don´t like James Potter at all! He is.. he is, arrogant and conceited and..."- Lily cut off. She didn´t know what else she could say.
-"And what, Lil? Listen, the sooner you admit what´s going on in your head and the sooner you sort out your feelings towards him... the better. For you and for us."
Camila got our of Lily´s bed and walked over to her own. She was getting in when Lily spoke again.
-"But what if he really likes that girl and he doesn´t like me anymore? What if I have really messed things up and now he hates me? What if-"
"Lil"-Camila interrupted her-"Stop talking rubbish and get to sleep. And you should give all this a thought. If tomorrow morning you still feel that way, well... I guess you should talk to him."
Lily stared at the ceiling thinking about everything that had happened lately and trying to sort her feelings out, as Cami had told her to do. Out of the dark Cami spoke
-"by the way, the headmaster told us today about an event that´s taking place this Christmas. A ball... Snowball or some crap like that. I don´t know. Just make sure you get a dress or whatever for Christmas eve"- And she fell asleep.
A ball? A Christmas ball? Lily started to think about that, and immediately her thoughts drifted towards James: Would he go with that girl? She decided to try and make things up with James and thinking of a plan to win him back she fell asleep too.
