"Oh come on Lily you don't like him."
"That is entirely not the point. You know how I feel about James; I don't want to see my best friend with him."
"You do realize that sentence sounds awfully suspicious. You could not want me to be with him because you want him yourself. You and I know better but who else would?"
"Ok alright, I get the point, have him if you want, be my guest. However there is to beno forcing me whatsoever to sit near him. Or talk to him" Lily added as an afterthought.
"It's not like I want to be with him. He was just a quick, well you know." Anne looked a bit sheepish and embarrassed.
"Alright then. Friends?"
"Always. He wasn't bad you know."
'Anne!' Lily slapped her friend.
'You know I like to tease you.' She grinned. They hugged and parted ways. Lily then continued on to Gryffindor tower.
Lily really had thought she would never make a friend, but in her fifth year, a girl she had never noticed had sat next to her in class, and they had talked and got on really well, and her bitterness had been forgotten.
When Lily reached the portrait of the fat Lady, she stood for a second, trying to remember the password.
'Shouldn't you be in the head dorms dear?' Lily started, and looked at her.
'I guess so, only I don't know the way. Could you direct me?'
'I can do better then that. Tap that brick over there,' she pointed across from her, 'with your wand.'
Lily walked to the other side of the room, and started to tap bricks.
'No! Up, across, up three more. There!' The brick in question popped out, and she looked inside the gap. There appeared to be a secret hiding place in there. Inside she found a blank piece of parchment. 'Bring it over here, and let me look at it.' She went back over to the fat Lady, and held it up. 'Right. What I believe you need to do is tap it and say where you are, then tap it again and say where you want to be. Then a map appears.'
'Should I put it back? Later I mean?'
'No that's ok. People rarely ask me where to go anymore. They only shout the password to me.' The fat Lady smiled weakly. 'Go on then; else you'll get no sleep.'
'Thankyou,' she tapped the map, and muttered where she was and where she wanted to go, and looked with fascination as the map started to draw. On the map, there was a dot saying: You are here, and a dot of where she needed to be. She started to follow the line on the map, and a few minutes later she was there. She tapped it clear, and put it away for later use.
'Mars Bars,' she said in a clear voice. The wall next to the statue slid down and made a door, and she stepped through. The common room was quite small, holding two arm chairs, a couch, a table and a few chairs, a bookcase and a fireplace. She looked to the three doors. They were clearly labelled, with Lily, James and Bathroom written on them.
She walked to her room, and saw her hand shape engraved into the middle of the door. She put her hand in it, and it fit perfectly. Strange. She thought to herself. The door swung open, and she looked at her room. It wasn't very big, but it was perfect. She had a desk full of little draws and nooks, with a squashy, comfy looking chair with it, a large double bed, and a wardrobe to herself, along with a side table. The whole room was decked out in black and white, and she realized it was the two absences of colour. No house colours here.
She sighed, and flopped onto her bed, setting the alarm, and then changed and went to sleep.
The next morning, she woke up to the alarm, and blinked. This surely wasn't her room. I mean for crying out loud it's bloody PINK! I hate pink. 'Potter.' She said. She sighed. 'I'm not good at charms for nothing I suppose. Prior Incantantum.'
Her room instantly changed back to black and white. She wondered how the hell he had gotten into her room. I won't let him know that it even bothered me. I'll ignore him.
She got dressed and headed out to breakfast, opening the door to leave.
'Hey Evans! Did you like your new colour scheme? I thought it was a nice touch myself.'
She just kept walking, continuing on her way.
James scratched his head. She had never ignored him before. Usually he fell privy to a lot of yelling. He ran after her. 'Hey Evans!' Why wasn't she turning around? 'Lily' he yelled.
She spun around with her wand pointed at him. 'Don't you dare call me that. You have no right whatsoever.' She flipped her hair and walked on.
James gaped at her. How could she not be talking to him? It was absurd. He decided when he wasn't going to talk to people. Not the other way around. He spotted a cupboard. Perfect he'd lock her in there until she spoke to him
'Expelliamus!' Lily's wand lazily floated towards him.
She spun around, her face turning as red as her hair.
He grinned. He loved seeing her all fired up like that. His eyes suddenly bludged out, and he looked at her with horror and realisation. He dropped her wand and ran. How? It wasn't possible. Sure he had asked her out in the past but that was a joke, an absurd joke. He would have laughed in her face had she said yes. He pranked her, and tormented her. He didn't sodding crush on her! He tried to shake the thought, but he wasn't one for denial, and it was firmly implanted in his mind. He sank to the floor and held his head in his hands. She hates me. Why did I have to go choose her? She will never go out with me. I just shagged a girl to make her hate me. Or was it to make her jealous?
