Professor Samequil droned on and on today. I sat slouched in my chair as the professor showed some Slytherin girl on the other side of the room how to create todays assignment.
"Julie!" someone yelled at me. I snapped around and looked at Lily Evans, who was sitting next to me. "I need those hamstring tails. Did you finish cutting them?" Lily's bright green eyes seemed to eat away at me. I looked at the half cut tails then at her. She was steeming now.
"Sorry," I said, half meaning it. "I guess I was daydreaming."
"About Remus?" she asked, half interested.
"Yeah. I can't help it."
"That's alright, he's your boyfriend. I totally understand. But I can't understand how you could deal with his friends."
I picked up the knife and began cutting the tails. "You mean Sirius, James, and Peter?"
"Yes," she said. "Especially that big-headed James Potter, the high and mighty Quidditch seeker."
"It's funny you should mention James," I said slyly. I couldn't help stirring up trouble…but this was definitely the perfect time to get James a girlfriend. Then maybe he wouldn't tell me how lonely he was anymore. You see, James is one of those people who needs affection. If one person can give it too him, he's alright. But if he can't get that kind of attention, he starts trying to find it himself, usually by flirting.
"What about him?" asked Lily after a short pause.
"Well, you know…he rather fancies you."
"Ugh, are you serious?" Her face turned whiter than I had ever seen it. She tossed her red hair out of her eyes.
"Yes. He really fancies you. He said that he would give up any girl he ever dated just to have one date with you."
"Aww…that's so sweet." Her face turned hard again, "No, I don't care. He is so mean and arrogant. He's so awful to poor Severus and, and…"
"…and all of it is to impress you…" I said quietly. She turned her back towards me and gather up the remaining ingredients. "Well," she said quietly. "He' d better try something better than that."
Potions ended and I gathered up my books and found Remus. He and I had Runes next, while James had Arithmancy, and Sirius and Peter had Divination. As we all split, promising to meet in the Great Hall for lunch, Remus grabbed my hand. "How did yours and Lily's crying drought come out?" he asked in a caring voice.
"It was ok," I replied. "But our conversation was much better than the potion."
"What did you talk about," he asked interested; his gray eyes lit up.
"James."
"You didn't…" he said softly.
"Perhaps I did,
perhaps I didn't…" I said slyly again.
"Oh Julie…what did she say?"
"She pretty much said that she wouldn't even consider going out with him if he didn't become nicer."
"Well, shrinking his ego will be like having me catch the snitch against the Hufflepuff seeker."
I smiled, " Well, I'm glad to see that you don't think its impossible."
He squeezed my hand and smiled as we walked into the Runes room and picked up our Rosetta stone replicas.
