We Found Love
052. I See Fire

The first thing Alice Monroe noticed about Lily Evans was her read hair. It wasn't like Weasley or Prewett red hair. It was a vibrant red. It was loud and resonant and bright. It was a color Alice had never seen before, and it was a color she wouldn't soon forget.

Something about Lily's har made Alice think of fire. It was like her hair was kissed by fire.

Soon after formally meeting Lily, Alice found her personality matched her hair as vibrant: bright, passionate, and strongly opinionated. One person that really got Lily going was James Potter. Underneath all her words and anger was a spark that Lily felt for Potter. It was a spark no one else shared with Lily – including Snape. Luckily, Lily didn't know it was there.

"The arrogance of t-that toe-rag," Lily said, pacing up and down their dorm room. "The very nerve of him! Why would I ever be interested in someone like him?"

As she listened to Lily rant and rave about Potter, a thought crossed her mind that caused her eyes to light up.

"You should show him," Alice suggested, "that you aren't – now or ever – interested in him."

Lily stopped pacing, turning to look at her friend. "You're right. How do I do that?"

Alice thought for a moment. She needed to be careful since this was delicate situation. "You should date someone else?"

Lily frowned. "I have no interested in Severus."

"I didn't mean Snape. And you don't really have to date them."

"Like pretend to date someone?"

"Yes."

"But who?"

"Someone who knows the truth and will go along with it. Someone you're close to so it looks real, and you'll be comfort around."

Lily frowned. "I guess I should go for a friend that doesn't like Potter or any of his friends."

"Good idea."

"I can only think of one person."

"Frank."

"As in Frank Longbottom?"

Lily nodded.

Alice frowned. She wanted Lily to pick her. She was so much better than Longbottom.
