Chapter 3 - Jealousy
After Lily returned from the prefects meeting, she went up to her dorm to finish her Transfiguration essay. When she opened the door, her best friend Kayla came up to her.
'Hey Lils,'
'Hey,'
'So, how was the Prefect meeting?'
'Boring, as usual,'
'Yeah, it must be really boring just staring at James while giving orders to the Prefects.'
Lily blushed. She knew that Kayla knew about James. She could always tell when Lily had her eyes on someone.
'Oh, guess what?' said Lily, changing the subject, 'In December, we're going to have a Christmas Ball!'
'Really? No joke?' asked her friend excitedly
'No joke,' said Lily, 'most of the meeting was planning it all out.'
'Hmm..OH MY GOD!' she exclaimed
'What?' asked Lily
'I don't have a thing to wear!' Lily rolled her eyes.

After the Prefect meeting, James walked into the common room, to find Sirius and Remus playing chess in front of the fire. Sirius was losing badly..again.
'Hey Prongs,' said Sirius
'Hey Padfoot,'
'How was your meeting?' asked Remus
'He probably doesn't even know! He was most likely staring at a certain redheaded Head Girl. Honestly.what was Dumbledore thinking? Putting a love-sick prankster in charge of the school?' said Sirius, while Remus chuckled.
'Hardy har har,' said James sarcastically.
'No, really Prongs, how did the meeting go?' asked Remus again.
'Fine,' he said, 'We're having a Christmas Ball in December. That's basically all we talked about.'
After hearing this, Sirius leapt up from where he was sitting and started for the portrait hole.
'Hey, where are you going?' asked James and Remus.
'To claim my girl!' he said with a grin before walking out.
*****
'You should ask him to go with you,' said Kayla, 'I mean everyone knows he likes you.a lot.'
I don't think he does anymore.if he ever even really did,' said Lily, 'Usually he would be asking me out all the time. He hasn't asked me out once this year.' She said sadly
'Rubbish!' said Kayla, ' Lil, he's in love with you! Yu can tell! He always stares at you during class like a lovesick puppy.'
'Your just saying that to make me feel better,'
'Yes, but it also happens to be the truth,'
*****
The following morning, Lily woke Kayla up, and they both went down to the Great Hall for breakfast. When she walked in, Amos Diggory came running up to her, and asked if Kayla would give them some privacy.
Lily looked at her friend for hello. But it didn't come.
'Sure thing,' said Kayla and she walked off to the Gryffindor table.
'So, Lily, I heard there's gonna be a Christmas Ball this year,' said Amos
'Umm.yeah,'
'So, uh, you wanna go with me?'
'Umm.thanks Amos, but I really want to keep my options open,'
He looked a little hurt by this statement.
'Okay, well if you decide to come with me, you know where to find me.'
*****
James looked up and saw Kayla and Lily walk in. Then he saw someone run up to them. Diggory. He then saw Kayla walk away. Lily looked as if she truly wished she could be anywhere else in the world at that moment. He turned away. He couldn't watch anymore.
Someone sat down in front of him. It was Kayla.
'Hey James,' she said
'Hi Kayla,'
'So, James, are you gonna ask Lily to the ball?'
'Doesn't look like it,' he said through clenched teeth.
'Why not?' she asked
'Diggory,' he spat out his name as if it were the most revolting thing in the world. Which to him, he was.
'Oh, you don't really believe she's gonna go with him, do you?'
He shrugged moodily.
'I know Lily.and I know she won't go with him.so, are you gonna ask her?'
'I don't know.she'll just turn me down anyways,'
'How do you know?'
'Because she hates me,' he said sadly
'She doesn't hate you,'
At that moment, Lily came over and sat down next to Kayla.
'So, did he ask you?' asked Kayla
'Yes,' she sighed heavily
'And.?'
'I said no,' as she said this, she looked at James and they locked eyes briefly, before Lily turned away, blushing furiously.
