Lily and James' Best Years

Chapter 2-A piece of advice.

Lily, Kayla and Millicent arrived at the library to find James, Sirius, Remus and Peter sitting. It seamed as though Remus was the only one studying now, "Oh, hello Ladies!" smiled Sirius at the three girls. "Hey Sirius!" smiled Kayla as she sat down across from Peter. "Hey guys." She added to the three other fifteen year olds across from her. "Hello." Answered the three boys. James smiled at Lily. "Beautiful as usual, Evans." He said, smiling. Lily ignored James, sat down and took out some books.

As they were studying, it seemed that James knew all the material. "Why did you even want to study?" asked Lily as she asked James a question and he answered in light speed. "To get a good score in my O.W.L.s?" tried James. "You know everything in here!" Lily got annoyed "You give me all the 'easys'" said James, trying to defend himself. Sirius smiled at his best friend. "What ever." Said Lily, looking at Millicent, she was flirting with Sirius and playing with her hair. "Still hasn't asked me." Lily Whispered to Kayla. "It isn't over 'till it's over, Hun." Kayla whispered back.

As they were packing their things, James looked at Lily- "umm-Eva-Lily-d'ya want to go with me to the dance?" asked James. "You're asking again?" asked Lily- well, she knew what this meant- she had to. "Well, alright, I suppose- but only because they're making me." Said Lily, pointing at the two girls who were laughing so hard that the librarian* had to make them get out of the library. James was the happiest he had been in a long time. "Yes! Thank you!" and he hugged both Millicent and Kayla and ran after Lily, still smiling.

"I can't believe you're actually going out with Evans!" said Sirius two hours after it happened. "Well, it has nothing to do with him. So I wouldn't be so impressed." Said Remus from the top of the book he was reading this week. "Will you stop reading for a minute?" said Sirius, taking Remus' book. "Give me that! Padfoot! You Idiot" Remus shouted at his friend as Sirius through the book out of the window. "What do you think you're doing? Acciu Book!" Sirius groaned as the book came to Remus's hand. "Come on, Moony, stop reading for a minute." James Said. "Well, alright. So what do you think? Are you going to really make Lily go with you to the dance?" asked Remus "What?" James, Sirius and Peter all asked. "Well, it's obvious that she doesn't want to go with you. If you-" "Oh, here we go." Sirius said, not noticing the look Remus was giving him. "- If you tell her that you know she doesn't really want to go with you and that you're not going to make her. She'll see you are able to be nice, and fall for you.when time comes." Remus added as Lily passed them, giving James a horribly dirty look and going up the stairs to the girls' dormitories. "He's right." Said Peter, the four of them stared into the fire. "Alright, but-but if she comes with me- than she would see how wonderful I am." James said. The four friends smiled. "So you're going with Moony's plan?" asked Sirius, knowing the answer as they all did. "Yep" James answered as they all laughed.

*** "Hey, Yo! Evans!" James shouted as Lily went into the Great hall. She didn't even look at James even though it was obvious that she had heard him. "Go!" Sirius pushed him as he got out of his chair. James went strait to Lily and put one hand on the back of her chair. "Hey. Is anybody sitting here?" asked James, pointing to a chair in front of Lily. She didn't answer.

"Alright.well, I've been thinking.out loud.with Moony and Padfoot listening." James smiled and thought, for just a second, that he saw Lily smiling too. "Well, anyway, I'm not going to make you go with me to the dance- so- since it's obvious that you don't want to go with me.well, I guess I'm going to go now, goodbye ladies." He added to Kayla and Millicent. "Bye James." Kayla and Millicent said together, both smiling. When James sat down they both started laughing. "He is so cute!" Kayla almost screamed. "And he likes you so much!" Millicent said, not able to stop herself from laughing again. Lily looked at James. He was looking back at her. "It's probably some selfish thing." She said. But she didn't really think that.

Maybe he DOES like me.yeah, as if James could ever feel something as deep as love.wait, who said anything about LOVE?

Lily was scaring herself; she found herself thinking of James Potter.

"Lil, Lil? Hello?" Millicent tried to wake Lily up from her day dream. "YO! LIL!" Kayla woke Lily up in a second. "What? Oh, sorry" Lily looked at her two friends. "You were day dreaming about JAMES weren't you?" Kayla smiled as she saw Lily reddening. "I was not!" Lily protested. Lily's face started to match the red color of her hair. "Riiiight." Kayla and Millicent smiled to each other. After eating

Class was just about to start as Lily, Millicent, and Kayla waked in. Lily caught James eyeing her as she entered. She sat with Claudia Sperlock and class started. "Hello, class. Today we will practice for the upcoming O.W.L exams. Take your wand out and we can begin practicing. First I want you to practice some defensive spells." Said Professor Filtwick, and in 2 minutes' time they started. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Sorry- I forget the name!
