chapter 2.
"So, whatcha doin'?"
James looked up from Quidditch Through the Ages. His head bumped someone's jaw.
"Ouch!" the person exclaimed as James apologized. He turned around, but he didn't need to. He had already assessed the voice to belong to Lily Evans.
"Lily?" he asked, looking at her.
"Yeah," she replied.
"What're you doing?"
"Do you always ask questions?"
"No."
"Apparently so. Well, I was talking to your buddy Sirius the other day."
"You mean he was talking to you."
"Same difference."
"Uh-huh?"
"Yeah. Anyways, he told me that you don't really care about me."
"That's true. Just wondering, but are you going to stand there the whole time?"
"No! Can I sit in your lap?"
"Certainly NOT!" James exclaimed indignantly.
"That's exactly what I mean," Lily explained, sitting on an arm of James's chair.
"What is?"
"Most guys would scream with pleasure if I asked them that."
"They would scream in the LIBRARY?"
"Well, maybe."
"So, then what's your problem?"
"My problem? No, it's yours."
"I do NOT have a problem!" People looked at James. He ignored them.
"No, you don't," Lily said.
"Then what is it?"
"Well, you don't *like* me."
"So? That just means that I'm normal."
Lily laughed. "I guess so. Guys go sort of crazy around me."
"You noticed."
She laughed again. "Okay, James; I'll get to the point. Since your not, like, obsessed with Hogwarts' most eligible bachelorette, I was wondering if you wanna be my friend."
"Your friend? Why, do you have none?"
"Yes, I have friends, just no guy friends."
"Oh, well, I never really thought about that."
"Well, think fast. So, you gonna be my bud or not?"
"You're not used to asking this, are you? Well, I guess I'll be your friend."
"Thank you so much!" She hugged him. He hugged back reluctantly. "So," Lily continued, "can I sit by you at dinner tonight? My so-called friends get annoying."
"You're kidding me."
"Nope. See ya at dinner!" she called as she left the library. Everyone in the library looked at James. All the boys shot him daggers. Luckily, magic wasn't permitted in the library.
*Oh, great,* James thought. *They think I'm her new boyfriend.*
He left the library as quickly as he could, leaving Quidditch Through the Ages on his chair. Even the librarian shot him a dirty look. As he walked through the halls, he wondered if his new friendship would be worth all its trouble.
