I Love Her, I Hate Her
Dani Wheeler-Kaiba
All right, chapter seven…Sirius' POV, thankfully, I'm sure you were all missing him ;)
Sorry it took me longer than usual to update – I had a major mental blank while writing my other story and couldn't give up until I'd finished that last chapter of it. But this one's up now, and I'll try not to take that long again!
The usual disclaimer, you know how that goes…
How am I today, you ask? Well of course you don't ask, you're a diary.
But how am I today, you hypothetically ask?
I am not well.
Not well at all. Sure, I'm as handsome as ever, but that's neither here nor there at the moment (because there's no girls around).
I am not well because my plan seems to have not worked as well as I'd hoped. You know, the plan where Lily reads one of Jamesey's diary entries, and she realises he is hopelessly in love with her instead of just liking to annoy her. Thus, she would fall hopelessly in love with him too.
But something hasn't worked out right, and it will be an insult to my great planning skills unless I find out why!
Lily has been keeping extra security on her diary, so unfortunately I haven't received her views on the matter, but it isn't too hard to see that she has been giving poor Jamesey the cold shoulder – I mean, more than usual. My only explanation is that she read the entry and decided that he was even more deluded than she thought!
She is so heartless.
But that wouldn't explain why she cried when James told her he loved her. Maybe she's cracking up? So much love being forced upon her that she can't take it any longer? How melodramatic! I want to turn it into a book someday.
I haven't been bothered looking at James' diary again yet. No time to read about, "Boohoo Lily's been sad therefore I am sad because I love her so much boohoo." Yawn. It wouldn't help any.
Well, I am not going to just stand around while one of my master plans is being foiled before my very eyes! I need to come up with a different plan, a better plan. One that will make Lily fall in love with James, and every other girl in the world fall in love with me. Personally I'm hoping for an American one (their accents are so hot). But back to the real issue…what should I do?
I suppose I could go for the old, send-each-one-a-note-saying-it's-from-the-other-one, but I don't think that would help anything. James sends Lily notes all the time and she only screws them up and throws them away.
Enchant some mistletoe so that whichever pair goes underneath it are FORCED to kiss each other? Could have nasty repercussions. Must keep in mind for next Christmas, though.
Hmm….
…
…
…
AHA!
And the light turns on! I know EXACTLY what to do!
I knew my brilliant mind wouldn't fail me.
Now, this new plan of mine…
Well, my original plan was for Lily to read James' diary, correct? Why am I asking you; you're my diary…But ANYWAY. So I'm assuming she did read it, because she's been acting really different towards James all of a sudden.
So my fantastic idea is…I am going to write MY OWN diary entry, created for the sole purpose of being read by Lily!
Allow me to explain. I write something – I fill it with stuff saying, "James is too over-the-top about liking Lily, he should tone it down a bit. But he DOES like her, and he's a really nice guy," blah, blah, blah – and then leave it somewhere for Lily to read. Seemed to work last time. God Lily's a snoop. Honestly, reading other people's diaries!
And Lily will never know that I did it on purpose. She will realise James really loves her, and will come running to him declaring her undying love in return.
I'm so brilliant.
Now, to write that diary entry…
James has been really sad lately. It's obvious why: Lily's rejecting him with even more force than before. Shame, really – I know he's a bit over-the-top sometimes when it comes to that girl, but he really does like her. Love her, in fact.
Lily seems to think that he just says that to annoy her. But it's not true; he does it because he can't think of any other way to make his love known. Lily should loosen up a little and give him a chance.
She should really make sure that she takes James seriously. HE REALLY DOES LIKE HER..
So no matter what she thinks, she has to understand that James isn't just an annoying idiot. He's a very nice guy, and Lily should be very happy that he loves her and return that love.
I know, it's fantastic, isn't it? I'll leave it in the same place as last time…that way she's bound to find it.
Why is it that my ideas are always so amazing? Sometimes I startle myself.
Ahem All those who find Sirius the slightest, tiniest bit egotistical, raise your hand.
Now, all those who think he made it the slightest, tiniest bit unsubtle?
I thought as much.
And just so you know, I'm not American. The American girls comment had nothing to do with me.But in so many things I've seen, English guys really love American girls, especially their accents. I don't know if it's actually true, but anywho...
