GREEN EYES

CHAPTER SIX-THE BUDDING ROMANCE

The next day Lily woke up very early. She looked to where Jamie's bed was and was suprised to see that she was not there, but Lily didn't care that much. She had Sirius and that was all she could ask for. Lily quickly got dressed and went into the common room. There wern't that many people in there because mostly everyone had sleept in becasue of the dance. Lily enjoyed the peace and quiet in there. She took a seat on one of the loveseats and opened her book. It had barely been ten mintues when Jamie ran into the common room.

"Oh my God James is the greatest," said Jamie. She took the seat next to Lily. "I totally am over Fredrick. I just want him. I'm so glad that Fredrick didn't come, because now I have feelings for James and he is wonderful! Well, I am going to take a long bubble bath. This has been the most perfect day. Toodles!" Lily watched in awe as her friend ran into the girls bathroom. She started reading her book again, but was interrupted 15 minutes later by the arrival of James. He sat down next to her.

"Hey," he said.

"Hey, what did you do to my best friend? She's all smiley! She ran in here all happy and hyper and scared the hell out of me!" said Lily. James laughed.

"I could ask you the same thing about Sirius," he said. "So do you think that I have a chance with Jamie?"

"Do you have a chance? She totally wants you and that is a direct quote. She even said toodles." said Lily.

"Ok, I will take that into consideration. She really said toodles?"

"Yeah, really she did. So, what did you do that made her so happy?"

"I just went down to breakfast with her. We talked a lot. She is a great person to talk to."

"Well that would be a reason that she's my best friend. Where's Sirius?"

"I think that he's in the dorm still. I'll tell him to come down. Bye, or should I say toodles." said James, laughing as he bounded up to the boy's dorms. Lily didn't have long to wait. She saw as Sirius came down the stairs and then she ran up to him and gave him a hug.

"Good morning," he said.

"Well now that I have seen you it is a very good morning. Do you want to go down to get breakfast?" said Lily.

"It would be my pleasure," said Sirius, putting his arms around Lily's shoulders. Lily looped her arm around his waist and they walked down to the great hall.

"Lily, Lily get over here. I need to talk to you," called a voice. Lily looked behind her and saw a very distraught looking Nancy.

"Hey Nance, what's up?" Lily asked.

"Oh, this is all Jamie's fault," bellowed Nancy. Lily was confused.

"What do you mean? What did she do?"

"What did she do? I can't believe that you even asked that. She took my date away from me!"

"What? James told me that you guys were just going as friends."

"Yeah, but I really like him. I wanted us to be something more."

"Well, you could have told him that."

"Jamie used me. She used me to get to him!"

"Oh, come off it Nancy! She had no intrest in James before the dance and you know it. You're being unfair."

"Well, she's the one that stole my boyfriend!"

"Nancy, chill. He was not your boyfriend. Don't talk like that."

"You know what, I don't want this from you. Good bye and good riddance!" and Nancy stormed off into the other room.

"Hey Jamie, can I talk to you real quick?" as James, looking extremly nervous.

"Sure. Go ahead talk," said Jamie.

"Alone," said James, motioning to his friends playing exploding snap on one of the common room tables.

"Oh, ok," said Jamie, sounding intrigued. James led her over to a quiet corner of the common room.

"Well Jamie, you know after that dance I have been wanting to talk to you all day."

"Uh huh. Why is that?"

"Well, because I really like you, and I'm hoping that the feeling is mutual. So I want to ask you a question." Jamie smiled. She already knew what was coming.

"Yes James," she said.

"Will you go out with me?" he said, and a smile spread across Jamies face.

"Of course I will," she said. Then, without warning, James lifted her chin and kissed her. That was when Nancy, crying, fleed from the common room.

A/N-Hello again. Thanks for all of the great reviews. Ronniekin's Sweetheart asked when it would turn L/J. I really don't know exactly, but it will be sometime soon. It is extremly weird typing L/S. I really appreciate the reviews cuz then I know that there are people out there reading my story. Keep em coming. Oh, Happy New Year.
