Chapter 3: Ignoring Potter

"Oi Lily, why aren't you talking to me!?" James asked Lily for the tenth time that morning angrily.

Lily started at her lunch defiantly, willing herself not to look at James. She didn't know why but ever since she had found out that James was her partner, she had started to completely ignore him, and to her great satisfaction James didn't seem to like this.

"LILY EVANS!!" James spat. "YOU DO REALISE THAT I'M TALKING TO YOU!!"

By now the whole hall had turned to watch the show. Lily's face was burning with the attention but she still didn't talk let alone look at James. Instead she took a bite out of her meat pie. It seemed to be more then James could take.

"Prongs, why do you want to talk to her so badly, just calm down." Sirius said hastily.

But James completely ignored Sirius and whipped out his wand. Muttering something under his breath, he waved his wand and Lily's meat pie suddenly was infested with maggots and slugs, and Lily dropped her pie on her plate with a shriek of surprise. Breathing heavily, she turned grudgingly to look at James.

"Ha ha Evans, I knew that would-" SPLAT! James' meat pie was now dripping off his face, which was contorted with anger.

"EVANS, POTTER! BEHAVE YOURSELVES!" Professor McGonagall screeched as she stomped towards them.

"Really, I expected more from you Evans, YOUR HEAD GIRL!" she bellowed.

"He started it Professor! He put-" "I don't care Evans, that's no excuse.

Until now James was looking quite smug because Lily was the one in trouble in him.

"And Potter" she said rounding on him, 'explain yourself!"

"Sorry professor," James said "but I was just trying to get her attention."

"And you couldn't think of any other way of achieving this!" she barked. "Surely your brain isn't so small that you couldn't fit the alternative option of talking to her!" she cried sarcastically.

"Well she was ignoring me professor" James whined.

"Well next time try not to resort to INFESTING HER FOOD WITH MAGGOTS AND SLUGS!"

With one last huff, she stalked back to the staff table. James rounded on Lily who was having fits of laughter, and stared daggers at her. Lily returned it with an evil smile before helping herself to another meat pie. James stomped out of the silent hall fuming.

It was free time and James, Sirius, Remus and Peter were all hanging out in their dormitory talking.

"I just don't understand," James fumed, "Why does she hate me so much?!"

Sirius opened his mouth to reply- "Wait," James said grudgingly "don't answer that."

Sirius smiled, "smart move Jamesie!" Sirius sang. "But seriously Prongs," Sirius said thoughtfully, "why do you even care?"

Remus snorted, turning to Sirius pityingly. "How thick are you Sirius, isn't it obvious? He likes her!"

"You still like her!" Sirius said incredulously. "Even after she's rejected you about a million times! Sorry Jamsie but that's just beyond sad" Sirius said, shaking his head pityingly.

"Shut it Padfoot" James said irritated. "I do not still like her!" He looked up to face three unconvinced faces. "What! Seriously guys I don't!" he spluttered indignantly.

"Yeah, and I'm the Headmaster of Hogwarts." Peter said sarcastically.

James scowled at his so-called friends. "But really, what have I done to her?"

Sirius opened his mouth again, "don't answer that either." James said dully.

There was silence in the room for a couple of seconds until, "But-"

"SHUTUP JAMES!" Sirius, Remus and Peter chorused.

James gave up and fell down onto his bed, "I hate women."

"God, he is the most annoying brat in the whole of Hogwarts." Lily cried as she Lokini, Leisha, Erin and Mia entered their dormitory. "I mean seriously, why won't he ever leave me alone?"

"Because he likes you Lily." Lokini said.

"I mean I already told him that I didn't like him, so why does he keep pushing it?" Lily ranted on.

"Because he likes you Lils." Leisha repeated.

"Seriously, why would he think I would ever like him? Can't he just drop it?" Lily continued ignoring the last two comments.

"Because he likes you!" Erin said through clenched teeth.

"Who in their right minds would want to go out with that pervert? Can't he see that I'm not interested, so why does he keep asking?" Lily rambled on.

"Because he likes you!!" Mia cried.

'Why-" Lily began.

"BECAUSE HE BLUDDY LIKES YOU!!!!!!!" They all shouted together.

"Lily, wake up and smell the coffee!" Lokini said irritated. "He's liked you ever since first year!"

"Of course he hasn't!" Lily said waving away any thought that James might like her impatiently.

The others groaned rolling their eyes as Lily started fuming again.
