Choices
Choice twenty eight: James
Okay so there I was on the train to Hogwarts sitting in the prefect's compartment and I swear that everyone was staring at me like I was a complete fraud. Remus was there making me laugh with his comments that he was muttering under his breath but we had to wait until the Head Girl arrived.
That's right Lily Evans little miss perfect was late. I couldn't really believe it she was never late but then the door opened and she walked in with Scarlett. I was wondering what Scarlett was doing here and then it hit me Lily was Head Girl not prefect so they needed another seventh year Gryffindor for that and she was really the only choice when you look at the Gryffindor girls.
Lily's face was a picture though when she saw me, I honestly thought she was going to die I had to hold in all this laughter and Remus could tell that I was holding it all in so he stood up and said a stupid joke and I just laughed.
It was a good thing that Scarlett had found it funny too otherwise I would have looked even more the fool, not that I'm much of one really. Anyway we had this meeting and all the while Lily was sending me daggers with her gorgeous eyes.
Well as the weeks passed I tried really hard to get to know her and I was trying. I stopped flirting with her and had conversations instead. We had loads in common because of our option choices and loads of differences that kept our conversations fun.
She taught me quite a bit mind especially with charms which I was finding difficult but she also taught me about muggle things especially books and I have to say I read a few of them and although they didn't have any Quidditch or unusual pranks they were good.
In return though I taught her about Quidditch, its weird really she had been in the wizarding world for seven years and nobody had taught her about Quidditch, well we had fun. I even had her play with us, of course Sirius fell off his broom, the boy has no balance but it was fun.
Lily fitted in with us so well she became a good friend and with her came Scarlett it was so much fun having two girls added to the mix. We'd always said that we wouldn't let girls come in between us and we weren't they were becoming part of us.
Lily was great with Sirius as well she really helped him with her his muggle studies. I don't know what changed really maybe it was the fact that I was made Head Boy, or the fact that Lily was forced to work with me.
What ever the cause I'm glad that I chose to get to know her because she has become one of the best friends I've ever had.
Okay so another chapter and I'd just like to say thanks to DavidLopin for that lovely review and I hope that you will enjoy the rest of the story
