Chapter 29: Stuck on You

"December 23,1977
Dear Diary,
Today was sooooo great! AMOS DIGGORY ASKED ME OUT! He was so cute when he asked me! He pulled me out into the corridor and started stuttering "W-will y-y-you go -o-o-out w-with me?" It was adorable!
I'm so exhausted. Julia and Alex pulled me with them to the library after lunch to talk about James. You should've seen the looks on their faces when I told them that I was going out with Amos. Haha, it was priceless.
-Your still laughing redhead, Lily"
Amos smiled. She thought he was cute. Lily Evans thought he was cute. Well, he was kind of going out with her, but still!
"Nothing but praises about me, I'm sure of it," Amos told himself. "It wouldn't hurt to read more... it's only going to be about me..."
(A/N: What an arrogant asshole!)
"December 23, 1977
Another thing that's been on my mind lately- James. It feels so strange when I talk to him. I really want to forgive him for the Tracy incident... I mean, everyone has the exact same story, and my friends wouldn't lie to me, right? So the truth probably is that Tracy lured him into the bookstore and kissed him. But I can't forgive James now. I already set it in everyone's mind that I hated his guts, and I can't just give that up now... or can I?
-Hopelessly confused, Lily"
Amos scowled. Lily couldn't forgive James! That would mean her getting close to James and further from Amos meaning a...
"Breakup," Amos whispered. He turned the page, hooked to reading about Lily's life.
"December 24, 1977
Dear Diary,
Happy Christmas Eve. I'm really not in a great mood. James has just... well, I'll explain my day, and then you'll understand.
So I woke up, bright and early. I walked down into the common room, when I received a letter. It was the first of a series of notes. They usually had a poem on them and a hint to where the next note it. I even got a rose! It was so thoughtful and romantic; I would've never expected it to be who it was.
So after a day or roaming the school, looking in the library, talking to portraits, I walked back into the common room... that's where the last note had told me to go. I had thought the person that set this up was Amos the whole day, but guess who it was...
You're right. It was James!"
Amos scowled again. James had given his girlfriend a rose? James had written poems for his girlfriend? JAMES had sent Lily on a trail of love notes? WHY had Amos never thought of this?! It was pure genius!
"So after James confessed, he asked for me to forgive him. He told me his side of the story and you know what I did... I forgave him! Did I do the right thing? I was kind of missing him...
-Still a little confused, Lily"
Amos rolled his eyes. He was being so silly. Lily wouldn't break up with him because she was friends with James again. He walked up into his dormitory, placed Lily's diary on the table next to him, and fell asleep.
The next morning, Lily woke up at around 7:00. She rolled out of bed and washed up in the bathroom.
"I guess I'll write in my diary until everyone wakes up," she muttered to herself. She searched in the storage box at the foot of the bed for her diary, but didn't find it.
"Uhg, I'll just write on paper," she muttered. Her diary was an InstaWrite Diary. This meant that you didn't need the actual diary in your possession to write in it. You could write on basically anything, tap it with your wand, and it would disappear off the surface and become a diary entry.
When Lily's friends woke up, she trudged over to them.
"Did you guys take my diary?" she asked them with one hand on her hip.
"Nope... maybe someone else snagged it. You know, they'll find out your true feelings about James if they read it-"
"Shut it, Julia," Lily murmured. "I didn't confess anything about James... especially things that AREN'T true."
"Yeah, you keep telling yourself that you don't like James..." Alex said as she rolled off of her bed and took long strides toward the bathroom.
At breakfast...
"Oy! Lily!" Amos called to his girlfriend. He took the seat next to her and messed up his hair. Lily flinched.
"Why do you do that?" she asked bluntly. He shrugged.
"Hi Lily!" James called. Lily turned around and smiled at him.
"Hey, James."
Amos frowned a bit and then hugged Lily tightly. "I love you Lily-kins!"
"That's what my dad calls me, Amos," Lily gasped, trying to pry Amos off of her. "Get off, you're hurting me!"
Amos finally let go. He glanced quickly at James (who had one eyebrow raised) and then sighed deeply.
After breakfast, Amos practically stalked Lily. He shouted random things at her in the corridors, such as "Love you!" and "You're my sweetie pie!"
Finally, by the end of the day he had calmed down a bit. He and Lily were in the library, working on their potions essay together.
"Look, right here," Lily said, pointing to the middle of the page. "That describes what Liviar is..." She started writing furiously. She could feel Amos watching her.
"Hey Lily, Amos," someone called. Both of their heads shot up. James walked over to them.
"'Sup?" he asked them.
"Nothing," Lily responded casually.
"Same," Amos said.
They were silent for a moment. Then James hit his head. "Oh! Are you too on a... er..."
"Yes," Amos said quickly. "We're on a date."
"Oh... my bad," James said. He started to walk away when:
"Wait, James, you can join us!" Lily called. James whipped around.
"No I can't... you guys are on a date. Anyway, I need to go seek revenge on Tracy and Samantha," he said and walked out.
In the common room...
"Truth potion?" Sirius suggested as he, Remus, Peter, and James discussed revenge.
"Nah," Remus said. "You did that to Snape already," he told James.
"Yeah... ooh! I got an idea!"
Later on that day...
Amos walked up to his dormitory after his date with Lily. He smiled at himself. If Lily had any thoughts of leaving him, they were probably gone by now. He happened to walk past the diary as it glowed a dull red. Amos spotted this and picked up the book.
"December 26, 1977 (A/N: is that the date at this point? I can't keep track)
Diary-
Christmas was, to say the least, weird. Amos was rather annoying the whole day. We were together in the library and he kept touching me and trying to get me to move closer to him. Uhg, it was so frustrating. James was nice today. I really hate to admit it to myself, but whenever he smiles, he's quite cute.
-Weirded out by my boyfriend, Lily"
Amos frowned. "Weirded out by my boyfriend"? Excuse him! He was her boyfriend for christssake! He could touch her if he wanted to! There was a fresh entry with still wet ink. 'This must be a InstaWrite Diary,' he thought to himself as he read on.
"December 26, 1977
Gosh, Diary, Amos is getting on my nerves! He's so clingy! Maybe I should dump him. But we were only together for three days... what should I do? I can't take this anymore. I even invited James on Amos and my date because it was so horrible. You know, talking to James might be the cause of this; whenever I talk to him, I get lightheaded and happy. Well, that's exaggerating, but I feel happy when I'm around him. He's matured a bit since the beginning of the year... thank the lord. Well, I have to go. Bye!
-Lily"
Amos threw the diary down.
"SHE MIGHT BREAK UP WITH ME?" he yelled. "AHHH!"
The next morning...
"Hello, Lily!" Amos called at breakfast the next morning. Lily flinched a bit and this time, Amos noticed this. He smiled slightly. "How's James?"
She frowned. "What do you mean?"
"I asked 'How's James?' There's no higher meaning to that."
"Erm... he's fine?' she suggested.
"Good!" Amos said brightly. He walked over to her and kissed her hard on the lips. There was an audible groan from her as her eyes became wide. She didn't do anything. She just sat there.
"Amos, this isn't working," Lily said when he stopped kissing her.
"Damn right, this isn't working out," he sat, slamming the diary in front of her. She squeaked.
"How... I mean, how did... what... why..."
"Why don't you go find James and snog him or something," Amos spat. Lily turned bright red. Thankfully, the only people at breakfast so far were her, Amos, and Sally.
"Amos, we're done," Lily hissed.
"You can't dump me, because I thought of dumping you first."
"No you didn't."
"YES I DID!"
"NO YOU DIDN'T!"
"YES I DID, EVANS!"
"DID YOU READ THE DIARY OR NOT? IF YOU DID READ IT, THEN YOU WOULD KNOW THAT I WAS THINKING OF DUMPING YOU FIRST BECAUSE IT'S WRITTEN THERE, DUMBASS!"
"DON'T YOU CALL ME A DUMBASS, YOU DUMBASS!"
"THAT WAS ONE OF THE WORST COMEBACKS I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY FREAKIN' LIFE!"
"SHUT UP!"
"THAT ONE'S RIGHT UP THERE TOO!"
"I SAID SHUT UP!"
"BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!" Sally yelled. Lily was even redder than her hair and Amos was pretty close to that color also. "Amos, why did you read her diary?"
"I-I-" he stuttered.
"AHA!" Lily screamed, pointing her finger accusingly. "You HAD no reason, did you? Did you, Amos?"
"Don't you talk to me like that!" Amos retorted.
"HA! You're telling me what to do?"
"Yes I am, as a matter of fact."
"Diggory, I swear, if you say one more word-"
"What are you going to do, huh? Poke me? Tap me? You can't to shit to me, Evans."
"Wanna bet?"
"SHUT UP!" Sally screeched. The two fighting people looked at her. Her face was as red as theirs.
"Whos side are you on?" Amos sneered at her. "Pick one."
"Amos, don't you dare tell me what to do," Sally shot back hotly.
"Whatever, I'm out of here," Amos huffed and he stormed out of the Great Hall.
In the common room...
"Ok, so when we go to breakfast?" Sirius asked James.
"Yes, for the millionth time!" James breathed. Sirius grinned.
"It's so fun to piss you off."
"It's great that my anger entertains you."
"I know."
They headed down into the common room where Remus was waiting with two tablets. "I get them!" he called.
They walked down, meeting Peter at the entrance of the Great Hall.
"Are you ready?" James asked him. Peter nodded. "It's all you," James reminded him. They proceeded into the Great Hall.
"Go," Remus hissed to Peter. He slipped the tablets into Peter's chubby hand and followed James and Sirius to the Gryffindor table.
"H-hi, Samantha," Peter said nervously as he walked over to the Hufflepuff table where Samantha was sitting with Tracy Greenburg.
"Uh, hi Peter," she said, not looking at him. He took a deep breath and stumbled forward on purpose.
"Oops," he said as he quickly dropped the tablets into their goblets.
"Watch it, Pettigrew," Tracy said to him. He started to walk away when he bumped Samantha into Tracy: on purpose.
"Oops," he repeated and walked away, satisfied with himself.
Breakfast went on normally. James and Co. were questioning Sally and Lily about the fight when...
"AHHHH!" Samantha yelled from the Hufflepuff table. Tracy glanced up.
"What's- AHHHH!" she yelled too as she glanced down at Samantha's arm. There was blue gook oozing out of nowhere and it was heading for Tracy's arm.
"GET THAT OFF!" Tracy yelled as she jumped up into the aisle. The blue ooze merely sped up and forced itself onto her arm. She felt herself being pulled back to the table towards Samantha. The blue stuff was already oozing from everywhere on Samantha's left side. Before they knew it, they were stuck together.
"EEK!" Tracy squealed. She tried to break free, but this made everyone in the Great Hall laugh louder.
"Holy moley!" Samantha cried. "WE'RE STUCK TOGETHER!"
They stood up and tripped all over the place. Samantha was taller than Tracy, so she needed to bend down in an uncomfortable position. Her legs were longer, which caused the trips and falls because Tracy couldn't move as fast as her.
"James!" Lily cried at the Gryffindor table. "Did you do this?"
James nodded as he wiped away tears. "With some help, of course."
Lily smiled. Then she did the only thing she thought was right...
----- Haha! Cliffhanger! Woohoo! Yay! Ahh! Haha! What's Lily going to do? Maybe some of you can guess...
Sorry for the bad word. Lily and Amos were in a fight, how do you fight like that without swearing a bit?
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Nada. Rien. Niente. Well, except for Samantha, Tracy, Alex, Julia, Helen, and Sally. Heehee.
