We got to the common room. I saw K8E and the other girls sitting with Sirius and Peter. Fake whispering to Kyle as he left us, I motioned for her to come over to me and James. James asked if he could leave the girl-talk session. I told him to.
I dragged K8E up to our dorm and to her bed--it was farther from the door. Pulling the two curtains that didn't face the window, I turned towards her with pure glee on my face.
"Guess who I am going out with!"
"Peter. No surprise there, Lily." I thought it was just me, but she talked kind of fast.
"Nope. We broke up--Actually, he dumped me."
"Then why are you happy? He's pretty cool, you know."
"Yeah, yeah. But someone else asked me out."
"James?" The true girly-girl shone through. "AH! You two looked sooo cute together!"
"How 'bout not. Okay, okay. You know the kid who was singing the rock Hogwarts song? Not the drummer or the guitar kid, but the one who was singing. Kyle Ratazak."
"Kyle Ratazak, the third year? I've heard of him. The preps think he's super cute, and I guess I agree. They said he was single, too."
"Not anymore."
"HE'S your boyfriend!"
"Yes!" We screamed and started giggling.
"That's great! And you know who asked me out?"
"Sirius?"
"No, Peter! Isn't it great? Now we can double-date."
I stopped giggling. "You're going out with Peter."
She did too. "Yeah."
"The same Peter who just dumped me."
"Well, I didn't know you two were like a couple till Sirius told me."
"When was that?"
"After Peter came back and asked me out and went upstairs."
"So you found out after."
"Yeah."
"Oh." We lay down and started giggling again.
