A/N Well here is the third chapter, thank you for the good reviews (I
didn't really had bad ones!) Please review! I want to know your opinion
about it.
You can write me if there is something bad in the story but please don't be
very hard. It's only my first fanfiction! And now. the story:
Is It Love?
Third Chapter: Back To Hogwarts as Sixth Years
The summer vacation went pretty boring for both Lily and James.
The Marauders didn't really meet because Sirius was on a trip with his father to America, Remus was in St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries (they tried on him new potions to make him less dangerous, all of them didn't really work) and whenever James tried to meet with Peter he said he was busy.
One time he was so bored he was even ready to see Evans but then he decided that it was better to be bored then to be with her.
Lily's time was very boring too. She couldn't meet her friends because they lived far away and she didn't have a connection to the Floo Network. As for her sister Petunia. she wasn't really an option. Every time Lily went near her Petuina gave her a look of disgusted and she often murmured under her breath "Freak".
So when it was time to go on the Hogwarts Express Both Lily and James were very excited.
On the way to Hogwarts Lily, Kathleen, Anne and Emily had a whole compartment for themselves. So did the Marauders.
The journey went quiet normal, if you didn't count that the Marauders made Snape hang upside down from their compartment ceiling, it was their opening prank of the year.
The train arrived at Hogsmeade station as the sun went down.
When Lily came out of the train she noticed Hagrid, the Hogwarts grounds and keys Keeper, who was gathering the first years around him so that he would be able to take them to the lake. When he saw her he waved his giant hand towards her, she quickly waved back at him and then she saw that somebody else was waving towards him too.
It was Potter. He obviously noticed she was waving to Hagrid too because he turned to her and said: "Evans, we meet again".
"Indeed Potter" she answered.
For a second they just glared at each other but then Black came to Potter and said: "Prong come on, the sooner we get there the sooner the ceremony starts and the sooner it starts the sooner it ends and the sooner it ends there sooner there will be food!!!".
"We just ate Black" Lily said.
"And?" He asked.
"Oh, I give up!" Lily said frustrated.
"You always do." Potter answered and with that he went with Black to the castle before she could say anything.
Lily just ignored them and went to look for her friends so that they will be able to go to the ceremony too.
James and Sirius went to the Entrance Hall, they found Peter and Remus and James's mood got even better after insulting Evans because half of the Gryffindor girls were saving them a seat.
When the sorting ceremony started James started his plan. He decided that if he wanted to pull the ultimate prank on Evans he should get to know her, especially her weak points, he should spy on her! And that's exactly what he did. It wasn't hard to find Evans - Her carrot head was standing out in the Gryffindor table. She wasn't sitting near him and he couldn't hear anything she was saying. He decided that next time he will have to sit close to her, he wasn't really happy about it but he knew it will pay off when he will pull the prank.
Lily, meanwhile, was looking at the new first years and the old sorting hat. She remembered her sorting, it was very exciting. She laughed when she remembered how worried she was about it, She was half sick when McGonagall read her name.
When the ceremony and the dinner were over Dumbledore stood up and everybody went silent. Then he said: "Welcome to a new year!" He seemed very thrilled about this "I wanted to remind everybody that entering the Forbidden Forest is strictly forbidden, and that everybody should go to sleep." With this everybody got up and started to walk towards the doors.
"Sixth years prefects please show the first years their common room" said Dumbledore and went outside too.
Lily, who was a prefect, started gathering all the Gryffindor first years around her when she remembered who was also a Gryffindor prefect -
"Potter!" she yelled so that he will come and help her.
She needed to make a good impression on the teachers if she wanted to be Head Girl next year and for that she needed Potter to help her.
He heard her and came to the first years quickly. Together they went up the marble staircase and stopped there so that the first years will have a look.
Then she said: "This is the shortest way to the Gryffindor common room, follow me."
She started to walk to the right corridor, after a few steps she realized that she was alone, she turned around and saw that Potter was in the middle of the left corridor while saying to the students to follow him. Then he turned around and saw that nobody was behind him too.
All the first years stood in the middle looking puzzled and were wondering which way they should go.
"Potter, what do you think you are doing?" Lily asked pissed.
"That is exactly what I was about to ask you!" he said looking also pissed.
"Well I am showing them the shortest way to the common room." She said.
"Well why are you walking that way?" he asked.
"Because that is the shortest way!" she said, her redhead temper raising.
"No it's not" he said, his Potter temper raising. (A/N I know that there is no such temper, I made it up!).
She really didn't want to argue with him like that, but she also didn't wanted to say she was wrong, because she wasn't! So she just said to the first years: "Ok, everybody will go with the person they want to go with."
She waited a second and then started walking. She looked back and saw that all the boys were walking with her and all the girls with Potter.
When she didn't saw him anymore she started running. She wanted to prove that she was right. When she arrived to the painting of the Fat Lady she saw that he got there at the time she did.
"Password?" the Fat Lady asked.
"Unicorn horn" she and Potter said together. They exchanged angry looks and went in. they showed the first years their dorms and then went up to their own.
At first they walked in silence but then Lily asked: "We never agree on anything do we?" her temper was slowly getting away and she felt better.
"I totally agree." He said and suddenly the bad mood was gone completely and they were both laughing like old friends.
When they stopped laughing they both smiled and suddenly Lily realized what had just happened. But she didn't know what to do, so she said: "Good night." and ran quickly up to her dorm.
James was shocked. He just laughed with Evans!!!
What did it mean? He didn't know.
He thought about it while going up the stairs. When he reached the door of his dorm he decided that it was nothing. *We can't always be the worst enemies.* He thought.
He went in to his dormitory where he found Sirius and Remus sitting in the middle of the room talking, Peter was already snoring in his bed.
"Prongs! Where were you?" Remus asked.
"Were you with a girl?" Sirius asked curiously "in a closet or something?" and then laughed.
"Sorry to disappoint you Padfoot my friend, but me and Evans were leading the first years to the common room and kind of lost our temper on each other." James answered.
"What's new?" Remus asked sarcastically.
The three boys were starting to talk about pranks and stuff and James totally forgot about Evans and all.
Lily didn't really thought about the 'thing' with Potter. The 'thing' wasn't really something, it was only a laugh. She laughed because it was funny! That's all!
When she walked into her dorm she found all her three friends sitting on Kathleen's bed gossiping.
"Hey Lily!" they all said.
"Hey, what are you girls doing?" she asked and sat on Kathleen's bed too.
"We heard juicy gossip!" Kathleen explained.
"Really Juicy!" Emily said.
"Well? What are you waiting for?" Lily asked, "Tell me everything!"
"Well, I just heard."
And by that we leave the girls to their gossip and the boys to their pranks and.
End the chapter!
Hope you enjoyed it. I will try to post the next chapter quickly but it could be that my teachers will be extra annoying and will give me tons of homework. But anyway. Please write reviews!!! I need them!!!
