Hello again! My third chapter is up! Wuhoo! I'm trying to write a new chapter every night. This one is a little shorter than the others, but I'm so tired so I'll write longer tomorrow.

Chapter Three: The Rejection

You probably won't believe me, but I did TRY to get out of James' lap. I tried really hard actually. But Potter has this strop grip thing going on me and well let's just say I couldn't really feel my arms. But it's okay because after Anais and Abbey came and sat down no one really even noticed where I was situated or how uncomfortable I was.

Great friends, you know, they're just so observing.

Finally Anais noted dinner would be starting in a matter of moments and everyone stood up. Everyone except Potter and me. No, don't get me wrong. I tried getting up, but apparently Potter had something to tell me because he wasn't letting me leave.

I watched as my friend's walked away talking and laughing. Well flirting more like it. Remus and Anais had this 'flirt but don't commit' thing going on ever since third year and Abbey and Sirius...well one-sided deal basically. Sirius totally worships her but she just can't see it. Kind of like how she isn't seeing how frustrated and confused I was, sitting on my enemy's lap for a total of an hour.

"God, Potter, what do you want?" I finally asked as my so-called friends walked in the castle, not even noticing they left us behind.

"To look at you." He answered softly and I have to admit, that caught me off guard.

"Don't you do that everyday?" I said sarcastically and he grinned at me. The idiot was grinning, something's going on here...

"Lily Evans will you go out with me?" James asked and I raised an eyebrow at me. Wasn't he trying to change? That's what he said at the beginning of the year. The only change I had seen in him was that he had stopped asking me out constantly. But now that's down the drain.

"Are you kidding?" I choked out and he frowned.

"I mean come on, James, you can't go out with a girl for more than a day. I don't feel like having a one-time deal with anyone, especially the day before graduation." I told him simply, not mentioning the fact that he was an arrogant prick and I wouldn't touch him "willingly" for ten-billion dollars. Okay, maybe with a ten-foot broomstick, but that's not the point.

"I don't want a one-time deal, Lily." He confessed as I watched him suspisciously.

"Oh really?"

"Really."

"I don't believe you." I told him, shrugging and his frown deepened.

"Do you ever believe anyone?" He asked and I pretended to think about it before answering.

"Only if they have proof." I told him, grinning evilly. James smirked at me and my grin slowly faded.

"Well I'll give you proof."

"How?" I asked curiously as he continued to smirk at me.

"Go out with me and I'll show you it won't be a one-time deal." He countered and I glared at him.

"Ha Ha, Potter. Very funny, it isn't going to work." I said and he gave me a pout. I just gave him a smirk of my own before jumping out of his lap and skipping towards the entrance to the castle with James at my heels.

"Lily!" He whined and I just flounced into the Great Hall where most everyone was already eating. I sat between Remus and Abbey and happily dug into the food in front of me.

Remus gave me a side-ways glance.
"What'd you stay behind for, Lil?" He asked.

"James just wanted to ask me something." I answered, sticking a piece of chicken in my mouth.

"Oh, of course he did." Remus said, rolling his eyes.

"Shut up, Rem." I giggled and he nudged me in the ribs.

"Ow!" I pretended to glare at him while he continued to eat, innocently.

Innocent my butt.

I noticed as I finished eating that Anais glance up at Remus every now and then and Remus would do the same as her. I smiled to myself as I knew they would end up together somehow. Abbey would help me play match-maker but I had to set her up with Sirius first. I had some work ahead of me.

Abbey kept her eyes fixed on her plate as Sirius stared dreamily at the top of her head. How could she not see him?! He was like a puppy looking at a bone that lay just out of reach.

Sirius and Abbey had been off to a shaky start in first year. She believed him to be evil, like the rest of his family. But eventually they became friends, thankfully to the rest of us. Their fights would keep us up all night, literally.

Then around, maybe, fifth year Sirius began to like her as more than a friend. We could all tell, except maybe James. But he was always a little clueless when it came to the matters of the heart. Ask all the other fifth years and above.

I got up off my stool and waved goodbye to my friends as I went up to the Head's Room, where James would most-likely be, since he hadn't come down to dinner.

I came to the entrance of our room and it was a portrait of two dolls, sitting on a windowsill.

"Cockroach clusters." I said and the portrait swung open as the dolls smiled at me and waved.

I noticed immediately something was wrong when I walked inside. There was torn up paper all over the floor and a glass of pumpkin juice was knocked over and all over the carpet. A couple pillows from the couches were all the way on the other side of the room.

I frowned and put the pillows back on the couch before going to see what had happened. I walked up the stairs to James' dorm room and knocked twice on his door.

"James!" I called and there was no answer. This is just silly, I thought, I've rejected him so many times he should be used to it by now. Not throwing silly little fits like a toddler.

I opened the door, hoping to God, he wasn't changing. He wasn't. It was something much worse.

My eyes opened wide in surprise as I saw James Potter laying in the middle of the floor, sobbing into the carpet with his glasses broken in his hand.

What was going on?!
