DISCLAIMER: I do not own Harry Potter. I own Alexis, Caroline, and Sara
though. Everyone else is J.K. Rowling's. Duh!
Chapter 1
Lily Evans slowly walked into the Great Hall. Just last night she was in here for the Start of Term Feast, which meant today was the first day of class. Lily waved at group of Hufflepuff girls who wished her a good morning as they passed her to leave through the double oak doors. She scanned the Gryffindor table up and down with her eyes, looking for her friends. Sure enough, at the middle of the table, sat Alexis, Caroline, and Sara talking and laughing over their eggs, toast, and sausage.
"Morning Sunshine!" said Alexis as she poured Lily a glass of orange juice. Lily took a seat next to Caroline.
"Morning." Replied Lily groggily, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. She drank the glass of orange juice that Alexis pushed towards her.
"Yeah, so anyways, my parents took me to America so I could learn more about the Salem Witch Trials. It's actually quiet interesting. Did you know that." Sara went on and on about her vacation. Lily stared at her, not taking every single word in.
"That's Sara alright! Always doing something so that she could learn something new out of it. She's so smart." Lily thought to herself. Unlike Lily, Alexis, and Caroline were listening.
"-of course, the people who were truly magical did a spell on themselves so they wouldn't burn."
"Lucky for me if they caught me and my family. It would be unfortunate for Petunia though. I don't know what I would do if they burned her.probably write a thank you card."
"Lily? Are you alright?" Lily looked up, only to see Alexis, Caroline, and Sara staring at her.
"I just don't see it," Caroline started. Lily gave her a quizzical look. "I just don't see what's so fascinating about your eggs. You've been staring at your plate for the longest time. What's the deal?"
"Oh.nothing.just thinking." Lily said, trying not to make the other suspicious. Alexis, Caroline, and Sara looked at each other. They knew what Lily was thinking about. She always thought about it. But, for once, she wasn't.
"Hello ladies!" said a deep manly voice behind them. They all turned around only to see James Potter.walk right past them, not even noticing them. Lily faked a sneeze and hid under the table. Behind James was Sirius Black, pointing his finger at James's back, his other hand cupped to the side of his mouth, mouthing "He said it." Alexis, Caroline, and Sara gave a small chuckle.
"Hi girls! Bye girls!" Said Remus Lupin, waving at them as he walked by.
"Hey sexy things!" Said Peter Pettigrew, a smug look on his face.
"Aw! That is just so-."
"-no." Said Alexis, finishing Caroline's sentence. They looked at each other, a devious look in their eyes.
"But I just thought that-"
"-No."
"Why can't we ever-"
"-No."
"But-"
"Why are you still here?" said Caroline rudely. Peter's smug expression faded and walked away, his head hung down in disappointment. The three girls laughed. Lily's head emerged from the side of the table. She was blushing. She looked back at the four boys walking away and taking a seat at the other side of the Gryffindor table. She let her head fall on the table with a loud clank, rattling silverware and dishes.
"James Potter." Said Sara, shaking her head. "Never even turned his head to us."
"Lily, you are such a disgrace!" joked Caroline.
"I know!" wailed Lily to the table.
"So, he still doesn't know you exist then?" asked Alexis. Lily made a small, but distinct nod. "Why don't you talk to him then?" Lily looked up at her friends.
"It's not that easy!" she said, rubbing her forehead. "Every time I'm about to talk to him, my whole body freezes up and next thing I know, I'm walking away! What am I supposed to say? ' Hi, you don't know me, but my name's Lily Evans and I've had a huge crush on you since the third year'."
"Well.not the exact wording, but something to that extent." Said Caroline reassuringly. A tear fell from one of Lily's piercing green eyes. She put her head in her hands and cried.
"I'm a hopeless case! James and I will never talk, let alone date!" Lily continued to cry. Caroline, Alexis, and Sara looked at Lily sympathetically, wondering what to say or do.
"Oh sweetie!" said Alexis as she put her arm around Lily's shoulder; "You're forgetting a very important fact. Sirius and Remus are really good friends with you." Lily looked up at her, staring to get interested. "Also note that they are best friends with James. I'm sure that they talk about you and he's bound to have noticed you when Sirius and Remus talks to you in the corridors between classes-even though James kind of wonders away, but that's not the point. Lily, what I'm saying is that James could be secretly in love with you just as much as you are with him." Finished Alexis, still hugging Lily. Caroline and Sara stared at Alexis in awe at her heartwarming advice. Alexis pulled Lily in front of her and look into her eyes. "There, no more tears." Said Alexis as she put a stray piece of Lily's flaming red hair behind Lily's ear.
"Thanks Alex."
"Anytime Lils."
"Anyways, does anyone know what our first class is?" said Caroline, trying to change the subject.
"Charms." Answered Sara.
"Well, let's go then! We don't want to be late now do we?" Said Alexis. Lily dried her eyes and got up. She followed the others through the double oak doors and they made their way to the Charms corridor.
