The silence was driving James crazy. He couldn't stand the library. The sounds of turning pages, pencils and quills scratching against paper, and wooden chairs moving on the hard stone floor simply irritated him. There was only one reason why he was spending his free period in the library.
None other than Lily Evans.
She was sitting a few tables away from where he was situated. She was busy doing her homework. From the looks of it, she had quite a lot to do, as shown by the fairly large pile of books next to her. James watched as she concentrated on her work. He smiled when he noticed that she bit her lip when she was focused on something.
James decided that it was the perfect time for him to make his move. The library was nearly empty; with the exception of him, Lily, the librarian and two other students. It was very quiet. The sounds of his shoes hitting the floor echoed around the room.
He took a seat in the empty chair at Lily's table. Through her red side bangs, Lily peeked up and sighed softly when she realized it was James Potter who was oh so generously gracing her with his presence.
She crossed her fingers and hoped that if she didn't acknowledge his presence, he would get bored and walk away.
To no such luck.
"Lily?"
Silence.
"Evans?"
Silence.
"So.. what homework are you doing?"
Silence.
"You're not going to talk to me, are you?"
More silence.
"I can tell by the way you're ignoring me that you want me.."
Lily's head snapped up and she fixed her glare on the raven haired boy who was now walking away from her. She just shook her head and went back to work.
James smirked as he exited the library.
"Well, she never denied it," he said smugly.
