No Chance!
Remus stepped across the threshold of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was right again in the universe. The planets had aligned, the birds had migrated, and Remus was finally home. He smiled; it was good to be home.
As the foursome walked into the Great Hall for the Welcome Feast, all thoughts of mysterious beings who sang in towers were forgotten at least for the moment.
Lilly Evans sat a little bit down the table eyeing the boys curiously; they were quite a group. Their friendship was so strong it was poetic really. The red head sat back in her seat, how she longed for friendships. He closest friendship was with one of the members of that group actually, Remus Lupin. She knew that she wasnÕt his best friend or anything, but he was hers. Or at least he was the one she could talk to freely. Most other girls concerned themselves with little more than trivial matters.
The poor girl sighed. She needed to speak freely to her friend again, just the two of them. She had been through a horrible time that summer when her parents decided that they were going to divorce. Lilly decided to take the whole matter maturely like the adult she practically was. But alas, even adults need friends at times. But she could not bring herself to write down what she was feeling in the letters that they had exchanged over the summer.
While Lilly was thinking, the Feast decided to end and when she snapped out of her thoughts, she realized that there were people around her standing and leaving. In no real hurry, Lilly stood and climbed over the benchÉand straight into somebody.
Lilly looked up and her eyes locked with the chocolate eyes of the bespectacled Gryffindor seeker, who caught her easily. He smiled the smile that would make her go weak in the knees had she decided to let it. But as it were, she didnÕt. Yet she could not rid herself of that all too familiar feeling.
ÒAlright Evans?Ó
Lilly straightened up. ÒJust peachy Potter.Ó She said spitting his name before walking away. If there one thing she learned from her parentsÕ failed marriage, it was that relationships were not to be trusted.
James turned to his friend as he stared at the red headÕs disappearing back. ÒWhat do I have to do?Ó
ÒYou could start by using her first name,Ó Remus began smiling, Òor maybe you could have an actual conversation some time, or maybe if you stopped hounding her to go out with you, she might stop running from you every time you open your mouth.Ó
James looked indignantly at his friend but he knew everything he said was true. For some reason James had been entirely smitten with the girl since he was eleven and she wouldnÕt give him the time of day.
Remus clapped him on the shoulder, ÒTalk to her! ThereÕs a lot about her you donÕt know.Ó
James sighed.
Lilly was the only one in her dorm, and she was thinking to her self. ÒStupid Potter! What is he thinking?Ó
A giggle came from the corner, ÒItÕs more like what your thinking!Ó
Lilly approached the old mirror on her dresser. It was exquisitely decorated. Around the glass there was a long pattern of leaves of ivy, very pretty. But in the ivy, lived fife women, who were annoyingly right about everything. The girls had bought it in third year at Hogsmede thinking it was adorable. Now they all nearly picked a fight with it every day.
ÒOh?Ó Lilly put forth, Òand what am I thinking?Ó
ÒHow dreamy his eyes are!Ó
ÒAnd how lovely his smile is!Ó
ÒAnd how strong his arms are!Ó
ÒAnd how much you like him!Ó
ÒTo put it lightly.Ó Each woman answered in succession. It was one thing to be told you were wrong, but this was five against one.
Lilly laughed, ÒThatÕs outrageous! I donÕt like anybody; least of all James Potter!Ó
ÒOkay dearie!Ó
ÒWhatever you say!Ó
ÒWe believe you!Ó
ÒHonest!Ó
The last mirror nodded in agreement and Lilly sighed.
ÒIf thereÕs a prize for rotten judgment, I guess IÕve already won that! No man is worth the aggravation, thatÕs ancient history, been there, done that!Ó
But the mirror women had quite a different idea, ÒWhoÕd you think youÕre kidding? HeÕs the Earth and Heaven to you. Try to keep it hidden, honey we can see right through you. DonÕt try to conceal it, we know how youÕre feeling, who youÕre thinking of!Ó
But Lilly disagreed, Òno chance no way I wont say it oh no!Ó
ÒYou swoon you sigh donÕt deny it oh oh!Ó
ÒItÕs too clichŽ, I wont say IÕm in loveÉÓ Lilly crossed the room to a picture Remus had given her of all four boys, but she only saw the tall raven haired boy in the middle. ÒI thought my heart had learned itÕs lesson, it feels so good when you start out. My head is screaming get a grip girl! Unless youÕre dying to cry your heart out!Ó
ÒKeep on denying, who you are and how youÕre feeling! Baby were not buying, cause we saw you hit the ceiling! Face it like a grown up, when you gonna own up that youÕve got, got got it bad?Ó
ÒNo chance, no way, I wonÕt say it oh no!Ó
ÒGive up, give in, check the grin your in love.Ó
At this point Lilly slammed the picture on her bed, ÒThis scene wont play I wont say IÕm in love!Ó
ÒYou do read lips? Read our lips your in love!Ó
ÒYouÕre way off base, I wont say itÉGet off my case, I wont say it!Ó
ÒNow donÕt be proud, itÕs okay your in love.Ó
Lilly picked up the picture once more and stared at it deeply before letting a sigh escape her lips. ÒAt least out loud, I wonÕt say IÕm in love.Ó
ÒSha-la-la-la-la-la ah!Ó
And as Lilly looked at the picture, her eyes began to close and she fell asleep.
Later that night, Remus opened JamesÕs trunk as the rest of the boys slept. He simply could not forget about the mysterious creature in the window, and he decided that it was high time to find out what it was.
