Chapter 3
Lily brushed her hair out of her face and stared out the window. Her bright green eyes sparkled as she stared out into the rain. Sarah and Ophelia had gone to get sweets and she was in the compartment alone. Although it was only noon the sky was black as night with the storm and the rain was falling in sheets.
Her thoughts were of him. He really is very handsome. She might have considered him if he wasn't so stuck on himself. She thought of his beautiful hazel eyes and the sparkle they had when he asked her out again only three days ago. She smiled to herself at the thought of it. It made her feel special that he, James Potter, had chosen her over all the other girls at school. If he wasn't always showing off she would have thought he didn't even know they existed. She hadn't heard about him asking anyone else out through all of their five years at Hogwarts, but he was always asking her.
She remembered the first time he asked her. It was in their third year. He had made the Quidditch team and proved he was cool enough for any of the girls. That was the year he got this cocky. He would strut around the common room with his chest stuck out, his hair always having the "falsely wind-blown" appearance that just looked stupid to her.
He would try to awe the girls with his recounting of his most recent victory. They would "ooh" and "ahh" at his narrow escapes and amazing dives again, even though they had all seen them at the game. He had always tried to impress them but he didn't seem to want anything except their admiration. Lily would never just sit there and listen but if he was telling his stories and she was in the room he would be sure to throw her looks that said he was just waiting for her to become interested. When he was sure that he had impressed all the girls in the room he would float over to where Lily was in the room and ask her out with a huge grin and his sparkling eyes shining at her.
She never took the bait but she realized how he had gotten such a huge ego, all the other girls in sight had been stroking his ego for two whole years now! That was her final thought before the door slid open and a giggling Sarah and a blushing Ophelia came into the compartment.
"What happened?" asked Lily, her curiosity piqued at the sight of her friend's face. At that point Sarah almost fell to the floor as her laughter increased two-fold.
"S-sirius," she stuttered through her laughter, "Ju-just - asked - her - out!"
Lily's expression didn't change as she looked from Sarah to Ophelia and back. "That doesn't explain you laughing like that, I mean James asks me out all the time and you've never laughed like this," said Lily, still not completely understanding what had happened.
"She said YES!" Sarah said as another fit of giggles riddled her body and tears came to her eyes.
"WHAT?!" Lily replied, half excited half confused. "You want to go out with that guy? He's just as bad, if not worse, than James!" she said hastily.
"He's not completely bad," Ophelia said with a smile, still blushing madly.
"And you know this how?" Lily asked, Sarah still rolling with laughter.
"He's never bothered me and he was just so cute when he asked," Ophelia said cautiously.
"He was a - - a - - bumbling fool!" Sarah said, trying to get it out between the giggling.
"It was endearing," Ophelia said with a smile, the blush fading from her cheeks.
"Only in your eyes, honey!" Sarah said, still smiling broadly but regaining enough composure to pull herself into a seat next to Lily.
"Ophelia Black," said Lily, voicing her thoughts, "Hmmm. . . not bad, has quite a nice ring to it, don't you think Sarah?"
Ophelia blushed crimson again at this idea. She wasn't about to tell her friends that she had liked Sirius for the past year, ever since they boarded the Hogwarts Express to go to the school for their fifth year. She had never told them and they had not noticed her subtle attempts at flirting, though the others would hardly consider all these things as flirting. No, Ophelia was just growing up, much like the rest of them.
