Although Christmas had passed and the castle was in a gloomy mood, Lily on the other
hand was rather excited. The next visit to Hogsmeade was coming up and she needed to
stalk up on her prank items. But in the back of her mind she couldn't get James out of
her head.
'Should I talk to him? I bet it was just a joke, the necklace really didn't mean
anything. He was just being nice I guess, Or was he serious??' thought Lily.
The days went on and Lily decided to ask when she felt the time was right.
Alex and Lily were coming out of the Transfigurations classroom with James
when they suddenly realized that Sirius and Kate were missing. Lily and James thought
nothing of it, but because Alex was so close to Kate, she decided to go and investigate.
She looked everwhere. In the commonroom in her dormitory, and even in the
Great hall. She was just about to give up when she saw Lucius coming her way. She
quickly ran into the charms class room to avoid contact with him, when she found teo
figures locking lips.
"Umm, I'm really sorry I didn't mean to walk in on anything" said Alex not
realizing that the two figures were Sirius and Kate.
"I'll show myself to the door,"Alex quickly rushed out of the room hoping that
the two people wouldnt notice her.
***********
"OH MY GOSH!"yelled Kate, "THAT WAS SO INCREdIABLY CLOSE!!"
"yeah I know I can't believe that she didn't know it was us"said Sirius calmly."Oh well
where were we,"
"Sirius we have to keep this a secret, if they find out about us then the teasing will not
stop! And what about James?" said an annoyed Kate.
*********
Alex quickly looked to see if Lucius had gone when she realized why she was there in the
first place.
She ran back into the room quickly understanding that the two figures and the reason why
she was there matched up.
"Sirius and Kate? "screamed Alex, " What were you doing?"
"Umm, nothing just studing for the next charms lesson." said KAte a little too innocently.
"If that was studing then I'd be doing it a bit more"replied Alex Tactfully.
"Look Alex, you can't tell James, you know that he likes Kate, ok?" asked Sirius
"Sure, BUT KATE! why didnt you tell me!" yelled Alex.
"lets talk about this later ok, come on were going to be late for herbology" said Sirius
trying to break the tension.
The tension grew between Alex and Kate. Alex was still really mad at Kate for
not telling her. She felt like she was being betrayed by her best friend. And KAte was
mad at Alex because Alex was mad at her .(a/n rather confusing dont you think?)
Lily really didn't know what to think becuase heither of the two girls could tell
her what they were fighting about becuase Lily might blab to James.
It was a Saterday morning and lily decided to get up early so the Alex and Kate
would have to come down to the Great hall together, niether of them ever went down to
breakfest alone. She noticed that hardly anyone was there yet accept for a couple of
Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs. JAmes included.
'Oh great' thought Lily. She guessed that now would be a good time to ask
about the necklace considering they were alone and Remus, Sirius, Alex, and Kate were
not their to tease them. She sat down across from James
"Hey whats up James?" she really was clueless on how to address her situation.
"Nothing much, wait.... why are you being so nice to me, wheres you normal good
moring hello." In a high pitched voice James imitated Lily "Potter, why are you sitting
in my seat? I see that you have not taken my adivice in using somthing know as a comb
this morning have you?"
"Im only kidding when I say that, and besides I have to ask you something," replied Lily
the last part she sort of mumbled.
"Well spit it out Evans, I've got a Wuidditch game against Hufflepuff in less then an
hour." said James.
"Ok, Ok, well for Christmas, you know how you gave me that necklace, well did it mean
anything?"asked Lily, her checks turning a slight shade of pink.
"Ummm, no, unless you want it to mean something?"said James his face also turning a
bit pink.
"No, Why would I want it to mean anything?"asked Lily even though she was thinking
that she really did want it to mean something.
"No, meant nothing I was just being a good friend and I thought that it would look really
pretty around your neck,"said James, who hadn't even realized what he had said.
"Oh, well thanks it really is beautiful," and with that Lily kissed James on the cheek and
left the table to see if Kate and Alex were talking to each other.
