Chapter 3: Inner Turmoil
Lily kicked herself mentally. God, what was her problem? She had just given the nicest looking boy in the school and his best friend practically a military nod. Since when did she do that? She blushed again at the memory of James' smile. And I smiled back at him, she thought. He really actually is hot, she thought, and for the first time, she smiled at the thought.
James Potter was hot, and all the girls in Hogwarts knew it. With unruly black hair that never lay flat and keen hazel eyes, there were more than just a few female glances directed at him wherever he went.
However, no one thought he was as hot as his best friend, Sirius. Except for Lily. She'd realized a long time ago why all the girls swooned over Sirius Black.it wasn't exactly his looks, although he was well-off in that department-it was more just the airs he put on around females that made him so charming and desirable. And he knew exactly how to play a woman's heart.Lily had walked into the girls' restroom several times to hear someone crying over Sirius Black.
Lily's mind drifted back to the problem of James Potter. He hasn't been as obnoxious this year, she thought. In past years he had been hanging all over her at every opportune moment, hoping to get a date. Lily wasn't sure if it had to do with her or her looks, although if James was a generic male, it was probably the latter.
Maybe he's grown up a little, she thought. Or maybe he doesn't like you any more, the little voice in her head whispered. Lily sat down in the Gryffindor common room, where she'd been walking to. Irritated with herself, Lily tried to ignore the voice to no avail. And why should I care if he doesn't like me? Lily, however, was figuring that out. She had a crush on James Potter.
And why is that so awful? The sensible part of her argued. Well.Lily couldn't come up with any reason. She tried to remember if anything had ever happened between James and herself to make him unlikable. Well, there had been that first day on the Hogwarts
Express way back in fifth year, but that wasn't much. Hmmm.
The small girl climbed aboard the train, fighting back tears as she looked back at her parents. "Bye Mommy! Bye Daddy! I'll send you an owl as soon as get there!" She made herself close the door behind her as she stepped inside and searched for an empty compartment. There weren't any empty ones, so Lily settled for a small compartment with only one girl in it, who looked just how she felt, lonely and nervous.
"Hi.I'm Lily, is it okay if I sit here?"
"Oh yes, please do. I'm Rose and I'm a first year, are you one too?"
The two began to talk earnestly and it wasn't long until Lily felt completely comfortable. The pair got up to go to the bathroom and on the way there, they passed several boys who were blocking the corridor.
"Excuse me," Lily said.
The boys parted and Lily passed through, but just as she had gotten between the boys she heard a loud Thump! Rose was sprawled on the floor, unhurt except for her pride. Blushing bright red, she scrambled to her feet and hurried to Lily. Lily was furious! She demonstrated a nice little gesture that she'd seen a few muggle boys on her block use, but she herself had never attempted. She simply raised her fist and gave the three boys a plain view of her middle finger. Stalking off to the sounds of laughter, she pulled Rose into the bathroom.
"Are you okay?" Lily looked at her new friend. "That was so low! I can't believe that hey had the nerve to trip you."
Rose nodded. "I'm fine, but I'm mad at those guys. Let's get them back."
Lily smiled. "You mean like, 'an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth'?"
"Yeah!"
Lily smiled at the memory. She and Rose had gotten Sirius, James, and Remus back, and she suspected that the last two had actually felt kind of bad about tripping Rose.
Anyways. What should she do about Potter? He hadn't asked her out since last year.and she definitely wasn't separate enough to tell her secret to Rose in order to learn the information she wanted through Rose via Remus. No. It would be better to just sit things out and see what happened.
