"This is so weird." Sara said. "It's like the last Hogsmeade trip when Lily wanted Sirius to like her so much and James was annoying. It is exactly the opposite."
"One thing is the same." Norma said, looking at Lily rummaging through her closet. "We're ready and Lily still isn't."
"Okay, how about the white skirt with the blue top?" Lily said holding the clothes up.
"With what shoes?" Sara said.
"My regular sneakers." Lily said. "What else?"
"I was thinking you could borrow my rhinestone new sneakers." Sara said.
"Your feet are way smaller than mine, Sara." Lily said. "You know my big feet."
"Mine are bigger." Norma said.
"I hope Remus won't mind." Sara teased. Norma blushed.
"So what if I like Remus? He's sweet." Norma said.
"But not much to look at lately." Sara said. "No offense, Norma, but he's been a bit pale lately and seems...weak."
"Weak? Well, I guess." Norma said. "Bt this is about Lily." Lily walked around the room in the blue top and white skirt.
"Well?" Lily said.
"Perfect. James will be really jealous." Sara said.
"I don't want him to be jealous," Lily said. "I just want him back."
"Knock, knock! Can I come in?" Delia's voice said from the other side of the door. Sara made a big no shake with her head that made Norma burst out in giggles. She put her head under the pillow to make it less audible. "Hello? Lillers?"
"Lillers?" Lily said. "Delia, did you just call me Lillers?"
"Yeah. James said you liked that nickname." Delia said. "Don't you like it?"
"Sure, just let me call you Dillers." Lily said sarcastically.
"Kay." Delia said missing the sarcasm. "We'll be like twins!"
"Delia, we're saying bad things about your boyfriend. You don't want to be here." Sara said. "In other words, go away."
"You know something, Sara?" Delia said. "I don't like you."
"Ouch, I'm hurt. Whatever will I do." Sara said in a monotone voice.
"Fine, I'm leaving." Delia said.
"It's really a bad match for James." Norma said, finally stopping her laughter. "I really don't know why he's going out with her."
"That's what I wanted to tell you yesterday, Lily!" Sara said, remembering something important. "Lily, Sirius told James that you didn't like him, so James should go out with another girl to make you jealous. Then he comes to you to tell you need to go out with him to make James jealous. Sirius was just trying to get to go out with you again! James really does like you."
"Where did you hear that?" Lily said suspiciously.
"I may have overheard Remus telling James." Sara said.
"I hope it's the truth." Lily said. "Let's go. We're late."
Down in the common room, James was pacing back and forth. "James! James!" Delia called. She walked up to him and she was mad. "Lily Evans and friends just insulted me. What are you going to do about it?"
"What am I supposed to do, Delia?" James said, frustrated.
"I don't know! Something!" Delia said. "You're my boyfriend, aren't you?"
"No, Delia, I'm not." James said smiling. "Buh-bye." James walked away.
"James! James, come back here! Come back here right now! James!" Delia said, with no response. As James walked away, Lily walked in with Sara and Norma.
"Hi, James." Lily said, smiling at James for the first time in about a week. "Where are Sirius and Remus?"
"Oh, they can't make it." James said.
"Why?" Norma asked, disappointed not having a date with Remus.
"Why? Oh, Remus isn't feeling well." James said.
"What about Sirius?" Sara asked.
"Sirius, oh, he uh, needs to finish that Potions essay." James said.
"What about Delia?" Lily said a little too coldly.
"We broke up." James said.
"Wow, I'm so sorry." Lily said.
"I'm not." James said. "Shall we go, Lily?"
"I guess." Lily said. 'A date alone with James? This could be interesting.' Lily thought.
