Chapter Twelve

Patience is a Virtue

DIVINATION

James mixed up the tea leaves gloomily. Remus and Sirius sat either side of him, sipping tea as flicking through the pages of the workbooks in front of them.

'And there was this one time when the giant octopus tried to eat me alive!' James listened to Peter as he chatted to Lily on the next table. She was sat with her head in her hand, swirling her tea in her cup.

James sighed, and sipped the tea, as Professor Trelawney swept over to her. (I know Professor Trelawney wouldn't of been there teacher then, but hush, hush!) Lily looked up, a bored expression on her face.

'You are going to meet swooned by the dark haired male!' Trelawney said, her voice going loud, her hands waving about. 'You say no, but deep down you know its right!' Lily sat up, her face going bright red.

'His best friend has the ways of a dog!' James glanced at Sirius, and Sirius smirked back at James.

'But the rat will betray-'

'Shut up!' Lily screamed, jumping to her feet. The whole class was watching her, whispering and muttering. 'You're wrong! You're just wrong you old fraud!' James was quite impressed.

'Wow' muttered Sirius softly beside him. 'Your nerdy girlfriend has quite a temper'

'She isn't my girlfriend. Well, not now'

'But it's true! I DO NOT LIE! I'M NOT A FRAUD!' Trelawney began to sob, as Lily stormed past her, bag swinging off shoulder. James jumped up from his chair.

'Good Luck!' muttered Remus as he moved past. James chased her down the stair way, grabbing her arm.

'Lily wait!'

'Let go of me!'

'Please, can we talk?'

'Leave me alone!' Lily whipped out her wand. James let her go, eyeing up the wand.

'It's never going to happen' she said, her voice quiet. 'It won't. Why can't you just accept that. I was actually looking forward to Hogsmeade with you... but then you just ruin it. You ruin everything' she was talking quietly, in an almost desperate way. 'I can't do it.' James gave a small sigh.

'I can wait'

'You can't. Move on'

'I'll be patient'

Lily went silent, and looked away for a moment. 'I really like you James. But we are so different, you and me' and with that, she walked off.


'So she likes you?' said Sirius.

'Yes'

'But... You're both different so she won't?'

'Yup'

'Aren't opposites meant to attract?'

'Apparently not' James sighed, putting his head in his hands. Remus patted him on the arm sympathetically. Peter smirked in his armchair, and Sirius turned to him with a snarl.

'What are you smirking at?'

'Nothing'

'Yes you were!'

'It's just... for once he hasn't got the girl he wants'

'And that's funny because?'

Peter shrugged and went quiet
