Arithmancy went alright, and so did Potions, the walk up to the dorm wasn't bad, and Lily wasn't complaining when she drifted of to sleep without a thought of James Potter in her head. She didn't dream about him either she realized when she awoke the next morning. How long had it been since se had a Potter free dream? Weeks. She showered and got ready for class before heading down to breakfast. Lily sat in her usual seat between Alice and Lucy, her two best friends, neither of whom knew about the crush just yet. Lily helped herself to some French toast and orange juice before even speaking. Soon the three of them were wrapped up in conversation. Lily looked up at Alice, but her line of vision went past Alice's face and slid to the one and only James Potter. She stared for a good moment or two before he looked up to meet her eyes. She quickly looked down and blushed. Her motion didn't go unnoticed. Alice and Lucy looked over to where Lily had been staring and caught the eyes of all four Marauders looking down the table at them.
"Lily, is there something you want to share?" Alice asked.
"Ummmm. No! I-uhh-don't believe so…Why do you ask?" Lily stated quickly trying to cover herself.
"Well it's just that you were staring at Potter. What's up with that?" Lucy asked.
"Nothing, I zoned out for a minute, you know staring into space…and when I focused he was staring at me, that's all." Lily lied with ease.
"Oh, alright, just makin' sure." Alice said happily, drinking in the lie as truth, Lucy however didn't look so convinced.
"I swear!" Lily exclaimed noticing the look Lucy was giving her. Lucy sighed but turned back to her breakfast no the less. Lily lent forward slightly letting her hair fall in her face. She watched James through the fringe, making sure to not let her friends know what was going on by nodding and "Okay"-ing at just the right places. Hoping her day wouldn't be filled with James Potter, although she knew it probably would be.
