When Lily saw the castle doors open, she got a chill. She was full of jitters. Would she be in Gryffindor? Ravenclaw? Slytherin?! Or..Hufflepuff? She didn't listen to a word anyone said until everyone started moving again. She was so nervous, she could have *almost* cried.
"Lily..." Remus whispered "Good luck! I really hope we get put together!"
"Ya, me too!" Lily whispered back.
" LILY EVENS" boomed a voice.
Lily looked around and then pushed her way through the crowd, up towards a stool with a hat on it. She guessed she had to put it on
" Yes...very brave indeed... lots of energy...a keen mind too...well it'll have to be...GRYFFINDOR!" Screamed the hat.
Lily took off the hat and bounded down to the Gryffindor table where, to her surprise, Sirius was already sitting. Her shook her hand and motioned to give her a hug, but resisted
" Good job Lily!" he said energetically "I'm glad we're in the same house."
Lily felt herself...blush! "Ya...me too..." she said looking away. She couldn't look like she was...blushing!
" So... where do you think James and Remus will be?" she asked
"Well...I really hope Remus is in out house...I hope James is in Hufflepuff!" She said sourly
"Lily...James is a good guy...a little egotistical, but nice. Besides, I wouldn't want you to get lonely..." he teased
" I wouldn't be lonely." she said with confidence " Who needs him?"
"Who needs who?" said Remus from behind her
" Oh Remus! You're here too! This is great!" she said, playfully punching him in the arm
Remus sat down beside her and they talked with Sirius for awhile. Soon came a familiar voice that Lily dreaded...
"I'm in Gryffindor too!" James said, squeezing in between Sirius and Lily. Lily glared at him
" Oh wow..." She said flatly.
" C'mon Lily! He saved your life...with a romantic kiss!" Sirius teased, making kissy faces
"I gave her mouth to mouth...not a kiss!" James replied " I don't like her in that way! That is really disgusting! I shudder at the thought!"
Lily kicked Sirius' shins
" That's GROSS Sirius! EWWWWW! I'll NEVER like him in that way! He's...so...so....SO GroSS!" she cried, her flaming red hair flying in her face
James looked at her for a second "I'm not that gross...and what makes you think you'll never like me? I've very...likeable!" he said quite shocked
"Aside from being a jerk!" she replied
"Fine Evans, you play this game. One day, You'll like me and I won't give you the time of DAY!" James said loudly
" FINE!" she yelled back.
