Sirius looked around the familiar sight of the great hall. The four long house tables were in the center, with the staff table at the front. The four boys walked forward to the Gryffindor table where a group of three girls were deep in conversation, did not notice them approaching.
The first on, Lily Evans, had beautiful, dark red hair that reached a couple inches pas her shoulders. She was pretty, very pretty, but did not like to flaunt it. She wore her hair in a simple ponytail and her skirt an inch longer than required to hide her long legs. She had smooth ivory skin and a flawless face. The second girl, Rayna Adams had curly brown hair that reached her shoulders. She was a little taller than Lily, at 5'5, and was built along the same lines. Slender, beautiful, and intelligent. The last one was definitely the most exotic of them. She had hair so blonde, it almost seemed white, which reached to mid back. It was also straight as a board, naturally. Though very beautiful, she was quiet, shy, and studious, much like Lily. Her name was Alexandria Pontes, though she was known throughout the school as Alex.
As the four boys approached, Rayna nudged Lily, who looked up, immediately regretting it. She was staring into the face of James Potter, in her opinion, the most arrogant, egotistical, self-centered boy ever to come to Hogwarts, and let's just say, she hated him with an absolute passion. He was constantly bugging her, trying to chat her up, and asking her out almost on a daily basis. It annoyed her to the ends of the earth, and she hated him for it.
So, she decided to leave. Subtly of course. "Hey, Alex," she said, "I've got to get my transfiguration book from the dormitory, so I'll see you when class starts." With that, she quickly stood up from the table, shoved passed the boys, and made her way out of the great hall, aware of the six pair of eyes staring after her.
"Oh come on Evans," James yelled at her retreating back. "Am I really that bad!" He asked jokingly, trying to make the best out of a bad situation. As she slammed the doors of the great hall closed behind her, she rolled her eyes. You have no idea, she thought angrily.
Meanwhile, back in the great hall, people were resuming their conversations as if nothing had happened. These fights were about as common around the school as a bee in a beehive. "Tough luck Prongs," Said Remus sympathetically. But, James wasn't to be disheartened.
"She'll come around eventually," he said. "After all, who can resist the James Potter," he said, flashing the girls a winning smile. They just rolled their eyes and continued eating.
"Ya know, mate," said Sirius. "I reckon you should just move on. I mean, once Evans has her mind set on something, there's usually no changing it."
"Ahh Padfoot my friend. You underestimate me," he said. Though in his mind, he was thinking along the same lines. Would Lily Evans ever be his?
