Stupid Moments

Everything seemed normal as everyone entered the Great Hall for the beginning of term feast. The ceiling still looked like the sky, the ghosts were floating through the walls and it still gave me the warm feeling in my heart, the feeling that told me I belonged. Some people didn't think I belonged though.

"Mudblood, get out of my way" said an evil voice from behind me. It was Severus Snape. No friends as per usual. I felt sorry for him, but why did he always call me that. I was going to yell back at him, but I didn't get a chance. 2 boys with black hair jumped in front of me to face Snape.

"Well, well, well . . . Looks like someone didn't take a shower all summer" barked Sirius.

"He looks paler and greasier than ever. What you been up to Snivellus? Hiding in holes or something" snarled a furious looking James.

This was another normal thing that always seemed to happen. James and Sirius versus Snape. I knew what would happen next, James or Sirius would draw their wands faster than Snape and send him upside down or into a wall, something like that. But before anyone could do anything a familiar stern face made an appearance.

"What's the hold up? Everyone to their tables" order Professor McGonagoll.

James, Sirius, Remus and Peter sat next to each other on Gryffindor table and Bec, Em, Bell and me sat across from them. After the sorting the food magically appeared and everyone dug in. The girls and I watched the boys across from us eat. We were discusted. They were having their usual eating competition. I was surprised none of them ever choked, really these boys amazed me.

"Ey' don't look at us like we're dogs" said Sirius between chewing some chicken and lamb chops.

"Padfoot my friend, you look and smells like a dog so get use to being looked upon like a dog" said James.

The girls and I started to laugh, along with Remus, Peter and James, but Sirius just ignored the remark and kept eating.

After the dishes disappeared Dumbeldore stood up and addressed the entire hall.

"Tuck in. Sweet dreams and Goodnight" loud applaud was followed by his short and sweet speech. "Oh yes, can I also have a word with the new Head Boy and Girl. James Potter and Lily Evans"

I blushed as everyones' eyes were on James and me. I wasn't surprised by James' reaction. He started bowing and posing. "Sometimes I just wanted to kill him, or kiss him. No I didn't just think kiss. What's going on with me?" I thought.

James and I made our way to the staff table as the students deserted the hall. When we reached the table Professor Dumbledore and Professor Mc Gonagoll were waiting for us.

"Congratulations to both of you" said Dumbledore with his eyes as twinkly as they ever were.

"Thank-you Professor" we both replied at the same time. We turned to each other, then back to the Professors stifling our giggles.

"Ms. Evans and Mr. Potter I too would like to congratulate you. But would it be possible if Professor Dumbledore and myself have a private word with James for a second. You can return to Gryffindor tower if you wish" said Mc Gonagoll.

"Goodnight Professors" I replied "Ja-Potter do you want me to wait for you"

"Sure, if you want Levans" he gave his reply while suppressing a smirk.

"Ja-Potter, Levans" said Dmbledore thoughtfully "those are nice names"

I exited the Great Hall, my face burning red with embarrassment. Why couldn't I just call him James? Was Dumbledore just making fun of me, us? Oh this has been a long day. 5 minutes later I was waiting on the steps when James walked out of the Hall with a stupid grin on his face and making his hair messier than it already was. Why did my knees have to get weak now? He grabbed my hand and pulled me off of my butt. He abruptly let go of it when he noticed he had been holding it for the past 10 minutes.

"So" I mumbled.

"I'm Quidditch Captain" he said "I mean if you were going to ask what they were talking to me about? They also gave me a lecture about responsibility and being a good role model. Mc Gonagoll did most of the talking. Dumbledore looked like he was stifling a laugh."

The awkward silence returned until I, until I did something so embarrassing, clumsy, stupid and soooooooo unlike me. I stepped on a trick step. My right leg was trapped and sinking. I grabbed James' robes and he fell back slightly. When I mean slightly I'm talking about his face was inches away from mine. Our eyes met. I realised my leg was still in the step so I broke 'the moment' we had just shared.

"Ouch. Help please" I pleaded.

"Sure" he replied. He put his arms around my waist and lifted me from the step. He let go once I was on the next step.

"Thank Japotter" I said. I said the word 'Japotter' on purpose. I think I just gave him a nickname.

"No probs Lilikins, or would you prefer to be called Levans" he replied.

"I would like to be called Lily"

"And I would like to be called James"

We reached the portrait of the Fat Lady. And I said the password "Fortuna Minor" and entered the common room.

"Goodnight James" I said.

"Nightie night Lily, sweet dreams" he replied as we took our separate ways.

That night I didn't get much sleep. I stayed up thinking about the day I just had. James' parents liked me, my parents liked James, his mother thought I was beautiful, he told his mother I was pretty. What was going on with me and James? We're just friends. I'm really glad we're friends. JUST FRIENDS!
