Chapter 3

In the Library


Lily sat in bed thinking about what she heard. Did Potter really agree to back off. I mean he is deeper than thought. Not that I like him just he seem to realize he was bugging me. I just wish he had noticed this some four five years ago when he started. It's just so hard to imagine James Potter didn't ask me out all today. He didn't hint either. Wow, if for some strange reason I start liking him, which will not happen, but if I have to thank him.

Alice looked at Lily. Yes Lily he really does have that much will power he went almost 24 hours with out as much as a hint as a date. We know it's not because a new love from what we heard earlier. Maybe he is deeper than you give him credit for.

Alice knew she didn't have to say the thoughts that were traveling through her head. Lily was having the same thoughts.The only other girl in the dorm was Marlene. They shared almost all there secrets with her, but since she wasn't part of the bet they had decided to keep quiet to her until hogsmead. They would have know choice once the school knew Lily and James had gone out. Marlene knows how Lily feels about Potter and would demand the truth. Until then mums the word.

Lily seemed to have finished her thought and stood up, "I'm going to the library, anyone care to join me."

"Naw, I just finished that DADA assignment and I want a break. Maybe I'll join you later." Marlene said.

"Sure" was the one word answer that came from Alice before she to stood up and headed towards the door.


Sirius glanced at the clock. "Just a few more min. till you will have gone a full day without asking Lily. Nice job, I still liked the idea of hexing Snivillus. Maybe if you do get a date we could do some to celebrate."

James shrugged it off. So what, I went a day without asking Evens. What difference does it make. F I had asked her she would have said know. Now I have the same results without any harm to my ego.

James knew he was lying to himself. He felt as if he had wasted the day.

Remus decided that the conversation might upset James so avoiding it might be a good idea. He decided to go hide In the library. "I am going to the library" he informed them.

"Have fun bookworm" Sirius joked.

He walked out and bumped into to 6th year girls, Lily and Alice.

Alice found herself almost bumping into Remus.

"Oh hello, Remus" Lily said.

Surprisingly enough noone looked startled. Without saying where they were going they all took the same route to the library. They found three chairs and sat down and began writing.

Occasionally someone would mutter something, or ask a question that someone would quickly answer. Once in a while someone would walk across the room pull out a book and then come back and look through it and then go back to reading. This is how it went for a good half-an-hour.

Remus looked up from his paper. "Finished" he said. "Someone care to proofread."

Lily smiled. "Of course, but tell me why James didn't ask me out today."

Remus seemed shocked. "I thought you didn't like him."

"I don't, I'm just curious."

"Alright" Remus handed er his paper.

Lily began reading every so often muttering something.

"Okay, you see he decided that you were sick of his questioning and gave up for now."

"Anything else."

"No"

"Your paper is fine just a few things..." She began showing him.

"I'm ready to go back." Alice said.

"Me too" Remus and Lily said together.

Lily looked at Remus and said "I herd the conversation this morning."

Remus smiled "Then why did you ask me."

"Wondering what you would tell me and if there was more than this morning."

"Nothing more and Do you not trust me?"

"Of course I trust you but sometimes your too loyal."
