Chapter 2

"Here's the beat of my heart,

Here's my reason for asking"

-Wow... She's beautiful!-

James was staring at Lily Evans and trying to say a complete sentence but for some reason he couldn't.

'I... hmpfrl... I mean... I'm s-s-'

Then Sirius stepped in. –Great, just what I needed- 'What my friend here is trying to tell you is that he's sorry for making you fall because he, being the gentleman I know he is, wouldn't accidentally hurt such a lovely lady as yourself.'

-Why didn't I come up with that?-

Lily smiled and took the hand Sirius offered her. He helped her up and she said: 'That doesn't work with me you know, you're quite charming though,' she playfully kissed him on the cheek and took a few steps before saying: 'Oh, Brooke said hi by the way.' Then she turned around again and walked out of sight.

-She... she... she kissed him! Why him? Why of all people does she have to kiss my best friend? It was on his cheek, but still.-

James was still staring at the spot she'd only moments ago been standing. Then, when he realised Sirius had started walking again, he quickly followed him.

When they reached the Common Room two boys waved them over. One had lightbrown hair and grey eyes and the other was darkblond with watery blue eyes. The four of them sat down around a table near to the fireplace.

The one with the brown hair, being Remus Lupin, fellow Marauder and werewolf, asked them: 'What took you so long to get here?'

'Well,' James began, but was cut off by Sirius.

'James here bumped into the love of his life.'

Two mouths were hanging open as far as humanly possible after this statement.

'WHAT?!' the blondhaired boy, called Peter Pettigrew or Wormtail for being a rat in his Animagus-form, exclaimed.

'I DID NOT!!' James yelled and whacked Sirius on the back of his head.

'Ouch!'

'You deserved that.'

While Sirius was rubbing the spot James where had hit him, Remus asked calmly: 'Ok, so what did happen then?'

'Well, we were walking and then I bumped into Lily Evans, she fell, Sirius tried to used his well-known Black-charm on her and she left,' James explained.

'You forgot to tell them about how you were hmpfrl-ing and couldn't for a line of words also known as a sentence,' Sirius added grinning, 'And you even left out the part about staring at her the whole hour during Transfiguration!'

James blushed bright red.

Remus, now also wearing a grin which was identical to Sirius', said: 'Ooooh! Looks like Prongsie's got a crush on little Lily!'

'I do not have a crush on her!!' James yelled.

'Of course you don't,' Sirius said, still smiling evilly.

'And if you don't,' Remus added, 'Then you won't mind that Ben Davis is over there asking her out.'

'WHAT?' James turned around and saw Lily peacefully chatting to her friends, no sign of his dorm-mate anywhere.

He looked at his "friends", who where currently rolling on the floor almost laughing their asses off.

'UGH!!' he exclaimed and walked out of the Common Room. –Ok, now where can I go? Not the Great Hall, in about 10 minutes it will be filled with people who're early because they want a good seat... I guess I'll go outside then-

He made his way to the big wooden doors and stepped outside. He walked around the school, lost in his confused thoughts for a while until he reached the lake. He sat down in the grass and started throwing rocks into the water, scaring the ducks that were enjoying a nice swim in the sun.

-Do I like her? I don't know. She's really beautiful and she seems nice enough, but I don't really know her. Besides, she would never go out with someone like me. She has a whole fan club... She can just pick anyone and it won't be me. Ugh, why do I always feel so not interesting around people that aren't either close family or people I've known for a long time already? Why can't I be more like Sirius? But that's not really the point now. Do I really like Lily Evans or is it just something I think I do because Sirius can't seem to stop talking about it?-

He snapped out of his thought when his stomach told him it was time to go eat something. He got up and joined his friends in the Great Hall.
