Lilly Marie Evans…. All red hair, green eyes and smiles. His eyes followed her as she crossed the lawn and sat down on the bank near the lake. He'd spent most of his days at Hogwarts staring at her wondering why his eyes were always drawn to her. She wasn't the prettiest girl around to other people, but James found her stunning. Instead of curves and pouts she was light and air. She was sensible and did her school work dutifully. Not the kind of girl he'd usually date, so why was he so fascinated by her? Maybe because she HATED him. He stared moodily out the window again.

In the corner of the room Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew had created a little huddle. Snatches of their conversation were drifting over to the boy by the window but he was too occupied with Lily to listen.

Obsessed, I'm telling you, he's going to become one of those stalkers.

He'll end up with a restraining order or something, I think we need to snap him out of it.

What do you propose?

How about a little wake up call? We can get him to notice other girls, Annie's been throwing herself at him all day and he hasn't even noticed.

A love potion!

Those are dangerous

Well we'll water it down!

Nah, too messy, I think we need an attracting cloud….

A what?

Simple my dear Wormtail, it will cause our Jamsie boy to wake up and smell the coffee.

Coffee?

Girls you dope!

Oh

Right, the spells in that book from the restricted section, you know the one we used when we made the Slytherin's profess their love for Gryffindor's…

"Loaded with Love?"

That's the one Lupey!

Lupey?

Just something I'm trying, you know to tie in with the –ey theme of your name. And you can call me Paddy and we can call Pete Wormy and we can all live happily ever after…

THWACK

"OW!"

Half the commen room turned at Sirius's affronted yell. Looking innocent Remus replaced the advanced transfiguration tome on his lap and flicked through it, humming.

Rubbing his head and glaring mutinously at Remus, Sirius spoke again. "Right, who's gonna do the spell?"

"Don't you need to look it up first?" asked Remus. If possible Sirius's glare doubled in inensity, "NO. I know it off by heart".

He bounded up to James and prodding him with his wand, uttered the words of the spell. Unfortunatly for Sirius, he had rather a patchy memory, so when the large cloud from his wand dispersed it really should have been no surprise that instead of a love struck James, sitting primly on the windowsill, there was a a tiny, bewilderd, jet black kitten.

Like it?

Hate it?
