After a day of classes and dinner, they hung out in the common room.
Lily's point of view
"So what did you guys do on the way to class?" Sirius asked
"Nothing" I said
"Really?" Sirius asked
"Really" James said
"Although James was acting very weird," I said
"I was trying to be nice for once," James said
"Are you saying you're not nice?" I asked
"No, I" James started before shutting himself up
"She got you there" Sirius said
"Shut up" James said
"Guys" Remus said. He was looking rather pale
"Yea moony?" James asked
"I'm going to go to bed, I don't feel so well" Remus said
"Feel better Remus" I said
"Night moony" Both Sirius and James said
"Night" Amanda said
"Night" he said silently
"Is he ok?" I asked
"Yea, probably catching cold," James said quickly
"He gets sick a lot," I said
"Yea" Sirius said
"Poor guy" Amanda said
"Yea" James said
"Well I'm going to bed" Amanda said
"Night" we all said at the same time
"I'm going to go to the kitchens" Sirius said
"You just ate" I said
"You should know I'm always hungry" Sirius said
"And yet you keep such an excellent figure" I said
"You should see me with my shirt off" He said winking at me
"Maybe later" I said laughing
"I'll remind you" Sirius said
"Go eat" James said
"Night" Peter said after Sirius left
"Night" Both me and James said at the same time
"So" James said
"I'm going to bed" I said. I wasn't tired though
"Cant take being in the same room alone with me can you" He asked
"What?" I asked
"You always leave or do something when we're alone together" James said
"Don't mean to" I said
"Don't lie" he said
"Goodnight James" I said
"Goodnight sweetie" he said
"Don't call me that" I said
"Ok, goodnight hunny" He said
"Don't call me that either" I said
"Ok, night Evans" He said
"Night potter" I responded
James' point of view (again fighting with the voice inside his head)
'Well at least she's not being hostile towards me anymore' 'yea I wonder what going on' 'maybe she's starting to like me' 'yea right, what am I thinking, lily would never like me' 'Anyway then why is she acting weird' 'I don't know' 'Well there has to be a reason' 'I think you just think there has to be a reason' 'Just shut up!'
"I'm going crazy" I said silently to myself walking up the stairs. Thankfully Remus was still awake
"Remus, do you ever get a little voice inside your head that fights with your thoughts?" I asked. He looked at me for a minute
"Yea, why?" Remus said
"Cause every time I think something, it's like I have another side that argues with what I thought" I said
"Yea that happens" Remus said
"Ok, just making sure I'm not going crazy" I said laughing. I laid in bed thinking. I remember Sirius come in in about an hour later. But I don't remember anything after that.
"Prongs get up" Sirius said hitting me over the head with a pillow
"What?" I asked
"We have class" Remus said
"Ok, ok I'm going" I said
Lily's point of view
'I wonder where James is.' 'Wait why am I wondering that' 'why do I even care.' 'Because u like him' 'I don't like him' 'yes you do' 'no I don't' 'admit it lily' 'no I wont admit it' 'then your saying its true' 'no I didn't say that' 'But you didn't say you denied it either' 'just go away' 'why' 'cause'
"Hey lily" James said sitting down,
"Hi James" I said, I could feel my cheeks turning red. Why am I blushing! It's just James, that annoying little prat!
"What's up?" He asked
"Nothing" I said calmly. I don't think he noticed.
"Hey lils" Sirius said sitting between us. Yes! Sirius is here!
"Hey Sirius" I said relieved
"What's going on?" he asked
"Nothing" I said quickly
"Guilty conscious?" he asked
"What, why would you say that?" I asked nervously
"Calm down I was just joking" He said putting his arm around me. I moved his arm
"Touchy today are we?" He asked
"Just don't feel good" I lied. Why did I remove his hand? I know he was just being friendly, he does it almost everyday
"Aww, you should go get some sleep" Sirius said to me
"No, ill be fine, wait where's Remus?" I asked
"Sick" Sirius said
"Oh" I said
"I'm going to go to class" I said getting up
"Yea me too" James said following me. I really wanted to be as far away from his as I could be.
"So…" James said
"So what?" I asked
"I need to ask you something" James said. Oh no I thought he learned not to ask me out
"What?" I stopped walking and looked at him carefully avoiding his eyes. He ran his fingers through his hair. No, don't do this, no!
"Did you do the potions homework?" He asked
"What?" I asked
"Did you do the potions homework?" He asked speaking slower this time
"Yea why" I asked thinking
"Because I forgot to do it" He said
"And you want to copy mine?" I asked
"Please?" He asked
"Fine" I said pushing the paper into his hands. He tapped it with his wand and handed it back
"Thanks" he said walking the other way. Wait he's got class too. Where's he going?
"What about class?" I asked
"I'll be there" He yelled not looking back. I watched him walk. Maybe he is cute. No I didn't just think that, I didn't think that. Wait yes I did, why. Well he is cute. Stop thinking that! Oh my god I need to go lie down. What about class, should I go? Yea I have to go. But that would mean spending the class with potter. I'm so confused. Just go! I walked to class and took my usual seat. After the bell rang and everyone was in class there was still no sign of James.
"Where's James?" I mouthed to Sirius across the room
"I don't know" he mouthed back
"Mr. Potter, your late, 5 points from Gryffindor"
"Sorry Professor" James said taking the seat next to me. Does he have to sit next to me?
"Told ya I'd be here" James whispered in my ear
"Guess so" I said
"Miss me?" He asked
"Oh so much" I said sarcastically
"Its ok sweetie, I'm here now" He said putting his arm around me
"James get off" I said but couldn't get out of his grip
"Is there a problem miss Evans?"
"No sorry professor" I said
"See what you did?" I said
"I didn't do anything" James said
"Ow!" he said after I kicked him under the table
"Mrs. Evans and Mr. Potter"
"Sorry professor" We both said
"Lily" He whispered in my ear. A shiver ran up my spine. Yet I ignored him
"Lily" he whispered again
"What James?" I whispered back
"I love you" He whispered
"What?" I said
"Mrs. Evans I'll see you in detention" The professor said. Detention? Me I never get detention
"Professor that was my fault" James said taking the blame
"Well then, you can join her" we were silent for the rest of the class.
"I can't believe I have to spend detention with you, because of you" I said after we got out of class.
"Come on, we can do a little bonding" James said
"Yea, right" I said sarcastically
"Come on, you know you want me" he whispered in my ear before he caught up with Sirius. He so immature! I can't believe I have to go to detention with him. This is going to be hell!
