CHAPTER TWO - Good Friends Turned Sour
Now it was only James and Lily left in the common room. (A/N: sorry if I already said that!) James got up from his chair and walked up to Lily.
"Lil, come for a walk. Down by the lake," he said.
"Um...I'm actually kinda sleepy..." she lied. She was wide awake.
"Please?" She looked into his eyes and stopped protesting.
"Ok."
It was a beautiful night outside. It was clear and the stars were twinkling brilliantly. James sat down on a log by the lake and Lily copied reluctantly because she knew what was coming.
"Lily, can I ask you something?" James said hesitantly after a moments silence.
"Oh James...please don't.." But James ignored her.
"Lil, will you go out with me?" he asked, waiting desperately for an answer which came only milliseconds after he asked it.
"OH JAMES!...I - CAN'T!" she cried.
"Wh-Why not?" His face had suddenly lost all its blood and his expression was lifeless.
"Because...because...oh because I don't feel that way about you," she cried despairingly. They sat in silence for what seemed like eternity until Lily couldn't stand it anymore.
"C-Can't we still be friends?" she asked almost pleadingly.
"Friends?" he said bitterly. "I don't want your friendship Lily, I want more than that. And you say that I can't have that...how can I ever be just friends with you?"
A tear rolled down Lily's cheek. James stood up and Lily tried to grab his arm.
"James..." She missed - he was too fast.
He looked at her once more and then turned and ran back up to the castle.
She woke upp the next morning feeling very sick. She checked the dorm clock. She had missed breakfast.
Good she thought, at least I won't have to face him.
Just then, Diana walked in with a piece of toast.
"Hey Lil. You missed breakfast but I thought I would bring you some-" she stopped abruptly seeing the look on Lily's face.
"Honey what's wrong? What happened? Are you ok? Who did what?" Diana was very concerned. Lily was like the most cheerful person she knew. She didn't think she would be this upset about anything...unless...
"James," croaked Lily. She had started to cry again, but silently.
This confirmed Diana's suspisions.
"He asked you out and you said no?" she asked without really needing an answer. Lily nodded.
"Why?" asked Diana as if it was the most absurd thing in the world to do.
"I told you!" she cried, on the verge of yelling, "I don't like him like that!"
Diana rolled her eyes. "OK," she said, though Lily didn't pick up the sarcasm.
"Come on Lil. I have the answer...Hogsmeade!" Diana grinned, but her grin was replied only with a weak smile.
Lily felt numb as they walked to Hogsmeade. James would never talk to her again.
"I don't; want you friendship..." Those were his exact words. No James in her life anymore. NO JAMES IN HER LIFE ANYMORE?! She didn't think she could survive.
When they got to Hogsmeade they shopped for a little bit. Then they went to get some butterbeer.
She felt a litlle bit happier by then. At least she had Diana. She didn't know what she would do without Diana. Her whole life would fall apart.
"Thanks Di. You know, for being there."
"Hey, you would do the same for me," Diana replied. They hugged.
"You know, I reckon we should do more shopping. Shopping is best remedy for saddness."
So they did. First they went to a ew dress robes shop filled with the latest fashios from Paris.
Diana was trying out deep purple ones while Lily was trying out emerald green ones which matched her eyes exactly. Whilst oing so they saw a very pretty fellow 5th year walking up to them. (A/N: did I say they were in 5th year? Well they are.) It was Georgina Hobson from Ravenclaw. She really didn't like Lily much because Lily always beat her in Charms which was also happened to be Georgina's favourite class.
"Hey Lily! Hey Diana!" she said with mock sincerity and happiness.
"What do you want Georgina?" snapped Diana. She knew Georgina was going to insult Lily.
"Oh I just wanted to say hi. But if you don't want me here..." she said pretending to look hurt .
"Piss off Hobson," retorted Lily.
"Oooh strong words for such a weak girl. You know those robes really make you look like your eyes are bulging out of your head." And with that she gave a sarcastic smile and walked off.
"Bitch," muttered Diana under her breath.
The bought the robes and left the shop. Next they went to load up on sweets. They were waiting in the queue chatting quietly about Remus when:
"Ahem..." said a familiar voice. The girls turned to see who it was. Remus was standing there grinning mischieviously.
"I heard my name mentioned?" he said still grinning.
"Hi honey," said Diana giving him a quick peck on the cheek.
"Oh Remus...do you mind? Today is a girls only day. You know, secret women's business," said Lily.
"Oh...ok," he said with the disappointment ringing in his voice. He kissed Diana, murmmured a goodbye to Lily and walked away.
When he was gone Diana said, "Why'd you do that?"
"Because if Remus is here then so is-"
"Oh," said Diana with realisation. The queue moved on a little further. Everyone headed for the sweet shop (A/N: sorry, ive forgotten what it is called.) on Hogsmeade weekends.
"Ahem..." said a strange voice behind Lily.
"Remus if that-Oh!" she exclaimed. Standing behind her was not Remus but a tall, dark and very handsome 6th year Hufflepuff. He was about 5'9, with gorgeous brown hair and amazing eyes. Lily managed to get over her shock and said:
"Um...hi..."
