Love, Lily-Chapter 3
'Prince CHARMing? Not!'
-----------------------------------
A dark haired boy with glasses was watching. Watching a girl. But not just any girl. This girl was special. This girl was Lily Evans. Of course, she didn't know he was staring at her, because she in turn was staring at her Arithmancy homework, and he SHOULD be staring at his Charms homework. But, now, we've explained why he wasn't.
'Lily, Lily Evans,' he said.
'Yes?' she said, finally looking up from her homework.
'Do you know who the only person is in charms that is above me?' James asked.
'Yes, of course, why?' Lily replied.
'Who is it?' said James.
'Me,' Lily replied.
'Exactly,' he said.
'I don't catch your drift there, Potter,' she said, looking back at her homework. *Wow, he's handsome,* she was caught thinking.
'Tutor me,' he muttered.
'What?' Lily was beginning to get annoyed.
'Tutor me,' he asked again.
'Why? Sirius is good at Charms too,' she said busily.
'Well, yes, but you're the best,' he said, and Lily swore that she saw Sirius wink at James.
'Allright, fine, now I have Transfiguration homework,' she said, and with that, the conversation was over. She couldn't believe she was going to tutor James Potter. She gathered up her books, quills, and parchment and went up to her dorm. She sat all her stuff at her desk, and sat down, when she heard someone behind her. It was Arabella.
'What happened? I heard you talking to James,' she said. Lily frowned.
'He just asked me to tutor him in Charms,' Lily brushed off the subject.
'What?! Since when does James Potter ask for help?' Bella exclaimed.
'Since now?' Lily replied. She was trying to finish her homework! Now it would never get done. Arabella rolled her eyes impatiently.
'I'm trying to finish my homework,' Lily said.
'Do you know why he asked you for help?' Arabella asked innocently.
'Why?' Lily was tired of guessing games.
'Because he...LIKES YOU!' bella shouted, and ran, because by that time they were having a pillow fight. *Why do friends have to meddle in things?* Lily thought. But someone though back! *Its just cause we care* Bella thought back. They stuck out their toungue at each other. They laughed. Arabella and Lily would always be best friends. Always....
-----------------------------------------
Lily felt someone tap her on the shoulder. She said 'Huh?' and turned around. No one was there, but they had dropped their notes. No, it was a letter!
Lily
Charms, transfiguration classroom, 9o'clock.
-JP
Lily looked up and saw James sitting down from her they nodded at each other and he smiled. Lily smiled back. She gathered her books and walked out of the Great Hall. She was supposed to be in Herbology in ten minutes! *uh oh,* she thought. Herbology was with the Hufflepuffs today..Amos was a Hufflepuff! She would never hear the end of it. She finally reached Herbology, and cleared all of her thoughts out of her mind. Amos walked up to her and grabbed her hand. Ugh.
'Whats that sticking out of your Charms notebook, Lily dear?' he said, smoothly.
'I don't know,' she said, clearly not paying attention to him. He grabbed James's note and started to read it.
'Lily, Charms, transfiguration classroom, 9 o'clock, JP,' he read off the note.
'JP? Isn't that James Potter?' Amos asked. He didn't know James was behind him.
'What about me, Diggory?' James said.
'Stay away from my girlfriend, Potter,' Amos said.
'It's not my fault she's smart,' James muttered.
'Lily, are you going to tutor him?' Amos asked.
'Yes, I am,' she said.
'And why?'
'Because he asked!' Lily exclaimed. Now they were drawing a large crowd around them.
'I thought I said not to hang around riffraff like that,' He pointed to James.
'Amos, I will talk to whomever I please. I am a big girl now,' Lily retorted.
--------------------------------------
Lily ran into the classroom, looking for James. He wasn't there. She sighed and sat down at a desk. Something poked her on the should.
'What??' she wondered.
'Talk to Remus lately?' the voice asked of her. She knew that voice. It was Potter.
'James Potter, stop it!' She demanded. He took off his cloak. He grinned widely.
'If you want help in charms you'd bett---' Lily was interrupted.
'Okay, okay, let's get started,' James said.
'Let's try a few easy ones first,' she said, locking the classroom door.
'Try, "Alohomora!" ', Lily suggested. James unlocked the door with the simple spell.
'Now, good job. Try "Mobilarbus!" ' Lily said. He did it, and made a peach hover in air. Lily nodded her head, and they smiled at each other. Lily took out a broken bracelet.
'Ok, good. Now point at the bracelet and say "Reparo!", and don't forget to swish and flick!' She instructed. He passed with flying colors.
'Nice! Now, let's try something more advanced,' she suggested to James.
'Okay, like what?' James said.
'Shout "Serpensortia", that will make a snake come out of your wand,' Lily said.
'Serpensortia!' James shouted, and sure enough, a large red snake bursted out of his wand. They laughed.
'Now try "Waddiwasi!",' said Lily. He did, making a quill zoom across the room. After that, they tried the Banishing Charm and the Cheering charm before they quit for the night.
'So, that's it?' James asked.
'You just need to hold your wand right, and say your charm with more emotion,' Lily instructed. James nodded. He was taking her seriously!
'I'm lucky to have you for a tutor,' James said. 'Not many people would like to stay up at midnight to teach someone spells.'
'It's nothing,' she smiled.
'We'd better get under the Cloak,' he said. 'I saw Peeves on my way down here.'
'Okay,' she agreed. So they got under the cloak. It was a tight fit, but cozy, Lily admitted to herself. James was tall, 6'2, and she was short, 5'6. He was muscular too, and she was petite, though if you called her that to her face, you'd get something coming to you, she said. James knew how much she could hurt someone, through experience. They soon arrived at the portrait hole. They climbed in and Lily took off the cloak.
'Thanks,' they said at the same time. They laughed lightly. His chocolate eyes met her green ones. They kissed quickly on the lips and he murmured in her ear, 'Guess who figured out who Remus's friend was.' He briskly walked to his dorm. She just stood there, clueless. What had happened? She realized she hadn't given back the cloak. She decided she would wait until the morning to give it to him. She walked back to her dorm also, much happier than she had been the last time she was there. Bella was waiting for her.
'What happened with James?' Arabella asked.
'Oh, Bella! I have so much to tell you!' Lily exclaimed happily. 'But you'll have to wait until tomorrow!' Lily put on her pyjamas and brushed her teeth. She laid down, hugging up to the Invisibility Cloak. It smelled like James, that strong, masculine smell.
