I Love Her, I Hate Her

EN: Wow, the response has been great! Everyone who reviewed, thank you sooooo much! You guys are great, and just for you there's a Part 4!
The usual disclaimer, you know how that goes…
Good day, I'm James Potter, absolutely smitten by one Lily Evans. I'm in love with her, always have been, always will be. I want to hug her, kiss her, stalk her, and have babies with her.
Okay, I'm sure you've established by now that this isn't James Potter, and that it is in fact Sirius Black.
I've been doing a little light reading of my second favourite novel, James' diary. It's ten times more enthralling than Peter's diary, yet it's just not up to the standard of Lily's – that thing is great, and it's in my pocket right now (she's probably freaking out looking for it). Let's not even get into Remus'…all the werewolf stuff is pretty disturbing written down. Poor guy. But back to my reading James' diary. It was SICKENING! I've never seen a guy write how a girl's name looks with his surname. I think the Bludgers got him a bit too often this year.
I am legitimately worried about him. I think he's stalking Lily – she doesn't even like him! Truth be told, Prongs, she likes ME. I pitched him that idea last night, and he speared me with his antlers. If your name isn't Moony, Wormtail or Prongs, then that is purely metaphorical.
But he only antlered me because he didn't have any evidence otherwise, whereas I had read dear Lily's diary. Is it true she likes me? Of course not. She hates me. She likes Snape. Shudder. Okay, I won't even joke about that anymore – imagine a girl preferring Snivellus to me! Intolerable!
Okay, back to James' diary again. I must say, James' perceptions of us all need some serious second opinions. Especially all the stuff he wrote about ME. He said I have fleas! How dare he! I'm insulted. I'm the cleanest little animal at Hogwarts and he knows it. And how dare he also suggest that I read his diary! I know I did, but it's one thing to do, quite another to suggest! And I didn't do it because I'm a sneak; I did it because I have Jamesey's best interests at heart. Plus he left it on his bed last night when he took a shower.
I must admit, I found it quite intriguing to find out that he actually hated Lily at one point. Well, for one day anyway. I just knew something was wrong when they were paired up in Charms and nothing at all went wrong! That is, until I made it go wrong. I thought little Jamesey was ill, and asked Remus if he remembered biting him the day before. Even when he's in the hospital wing, Remus can punch pretty hard.
Ha! I can see little Lily tearing about the Common Room looking for something. I wonder, could she be looking for a certain diary? I wonder, if I rip a page out of James' diary and leave it lying around, will she find it? Let's give it a shot…
Success! She picked it up! But – oh, she didn't read it. She – oh god I don't believe it – she's writing on the back! She's made a makeshift diary! Unbelievable! Was it so hard to just turn it over and read?
Ah well. She'll discover that it has James'entry on the other side sooner or later. Hopefully sooner. I wonder, what will she do when that happens?
Ooo, so now there's a bit of a storyline happening...how do you like it?
