Chapter 2: Daydreaming at Night

AN: Hiya! I have good news and bad news! Good news: this is the second chapter, and in it is James' POV. ((the last one was Siri's POV)). Bad news: I'm going to Gatlinburg with my dad tomorrow, so I'll be gone until Friday. ((That's when I'll be back home, Fri.)) So, don't get mad for a lack of updates for two or three days! Oh, and thanks to all my reviewers so far! (( i luv u guys!!! ))

DISCLAIMER: I do NOT take any credit for the characters in this story, they all belong to the bright, clever, and intelligent J.K. Rowling! I, however, DO own the plot!

James could hear his mum and dad snoring two rooms away. He lay wide awake, daydreaming of his crush, Lily Evans. He had loved her since he first saw her, brushing her brilliant red hair out of her face nervously, attempting to get in a rocking rowboat that would carry her ashore to Hogwarts Castle in their first year.

He sighed heavily. "Why won't she go out with me? I've asked and asked, but she says, 'No, no, no, and let me think about it….NO!' It must be because I've been so…..so…..me." He sighed again, and rolled over to turn on his bedside table lamp. Light washed over his bed and he blinked in it's brighness, allowing his eyes to adjust to the change. 'This year, I'll do it! I'll be more 'mature' and see if she likes me then. I won't ask her to be friends, at least not yet. I want her to first notice my change, then talk to me about it. Yeah, that's what I'll do! She'll have to fall for me then! And after I have her, I can finally smell her beautiful, shiny, red hair. I can gaze into her deep green eyes, and do all this without her yelling at me once.'

Thinking of Lily made him want to go back to school. Wanting to go back to school made him want to see his friends. Wanting to see his friends made him want to be mischievous. Wanting to be mischievous, made him miss Lily more, because he knows she notices him then, even if she is yelling at him.

"I wonder when our Hogwarts letters are coming? Hmm…maybe I can meet up with Sirius and we can go to Diagon Alley together." Just then, a large black, orange, and white owl pecked at his window. Opening the window for it, he realized it was Sirius' owl. He untied the letter, gave Devlin an owl treat and let him eat it while he read the letter.

Hello, Prongs! It's Padfoot! Have you gotten your Hogwarts letter yet? I haven't. I suppose it will come soon. Anyway, I was wondering if you would like to use our "diary" to talk again. Just get it out and start writing! I KNOW you're awake, daydreaming about your precious Lily! Ha ha ha! C'mone man, I've heard you mumbling in your sleep before, you can't hide it anymore! If you like her so much ask her out! Anyway, just start writing, I'll be waiting.

So, James did just that. He went to get their 4-way 'diary' and filled his favorite quill with green ink and began writing.

Hey Padfoot, what exactly didja want? And, yes, I admit it, I like/love Lily Evans, but don't rub it in, okay mate? So, wassup?

Awaiting Siri's reply, James sucked on his quill. ((It was a sugar quill, which is why it was his favorite.))

After Padfoot said he needed to go, because it was getting close to morning, James asked him if he'd join him in Diagon Alley to do school shopping when they get their letters. He replied immediately, "YES!!!"

James tucked the diary safely under his pillow, and turned out his light. It took a while for sleep to come to him, for he was still daydreaming of Lily Evans, James Potter's future girlfriend.
