James had tried to find her after his outburst, but she had made herself invisible somehow on the train.
After a long search he decided to return to his friends who were still entertaining Hestia Jones.
He walked in slowly, feeling bad about embarssing Lily and sitting down in the seat next to Sirius with a thud.
"Hey, dingus what is wrong?"Sirius asked as he poked James in the head.
"Stop it you dumb ass." James snapped, his face clouding in anger.
"Did you piss off Lily again?" Hesita asked as she shifted in her seat. James nodded.
"Way to go you idiot. Was that a part of your plan?" Sirius asked. James shook his head.
"What plan?" Hesita asked her eyes questioning James.He shrugged.
"His plan to get Lily Evans to love him." Remus spoke up, laughing. "LIke that will happen."
James jumped up in anger. "It will just watch!"
"Yeah right, James. She hates your guts. Believe me, I'm her best friend. She tells me everything." Hesita said, laughing her head off. It sent all of the guys laughing at James. James sat back down, feeling as if he had been betrayed by his own friends.
"Ah, come on buddy I believe in you." Sirius said as he went over to sit next to him. James sighed and shrugged.
The train stopped allowing them to get off. The First Years looked around like deer in the headlights.
"Head Boy and Girl please come here!" Yelled a familiar female voice. James looked around for Lily, but didn't see her. He walked ahead just as Lily did the same. They walked and stopped in front of Professor McGonagall.
"You must lead the younger grades to their towers and tell them the password to Gryffindor. Also you need to make rounds tonight at least once. You must do this every night. Aid the First Years by getting them into their boats and join them in the front boat." Professor McGonagall told them. They nodded and headed towards the boats.
"First Years Follow Us!" Lily announced as she got up to the front of their group and started towards the lake. James walked beside her, his hand itching to hold hers. He grabbed her hand and held it tight.
"Potter! What are you doing?" Lily said, trying to keep her voice down.
"Holding your hand."
"Well Stop!" She tore her hand away and hurried forward, helping First years into the boats. James sighed. This was going to be a very long year indeed.
Remus, Sirius, Peter, and Hestia had gotten into one of the carriages. Sirius brought out a parchment of paper, a quill,
and his wand.
"Alright, who wants to make bets?" He asked with a devilish smile.
"About what?" Peter asked in confusion.
"About how long it will take for James to finally capture Lily's heart." Sirius replied, looking around.
"I say it will take until Easter holidays." Remus said.
"I say it will be graduation." Hestia piped up.
"I say it will take until Valentine's Day, myself. What about you Peter?"
"I don't want to bet." Peter said meekly.
"Ah come on, don't be a whimp Peter." Hestia chastied. Peter sighed.
"Alright, I say Halloween."
Sirius wrote down the bets of the time, then looked up expectantly.
"Twenty Galleons," Peter, Remus, and Hestia said at the same time. Sirius nodded and wrote it down. He brought forth his wand and tapped the paper.
"It is set in stone pretty much. We stick to this. Let the games begin! MWAH HA HA HA HA!!" Sirius laughed weirdly.
"You need mental help." Peter said, looking at him as if he had the plague.
"Yes, yes I do."
After a long search he decided to return to his friends who were still entertaining Hestia Jones.
