The Evans-Potter Let-Down

Lily Evans, Melissa Jones, Julie Finnagin, Elizabeth Thibodeaux, and
Kathryn Smith were seated at the Gryffindor table with their heads together,
like any other Thursday morning. "So, I'll just tell him that I'd date
Frankenstein, before I'd date him?" Lily asked Elizabeth. "Oh, yeah, he'll be
too busy tryin' to figure out who Frankenstein is, and then we can focus on
how Melissa blushes when Sirius looks at her cross-eyed," She replied with a
glance towards Melissa. "Hey! I only blush when he actually talks to me!"
She retorted. "Oh, well, at least, Sirius actually speaks to you once in a
while," Julie sighed. "Oh, Julie, Anthony will speak to you eventually," Kathryn
said, trying to comfort her. "Yeah, right. The most conversation I get out of
him is when he nods and says hey," Julie replied with a snort. "Oh, Julie, he's
just shy," Elizabeth reassured her. "Yeah, right. When he says 'hey', it's more
like a 'hey, I think I might know you' kind of nod, not a 'hey, i like you, but
I'm too shy to ask you out' kind of nod," Julie said, with a long, dramatic
sigh. "You know, Julie, you'd think you were the southern with your Scarlett
O'Hara act," Elizabeth teased, "Oh, Anthony, Anthony, I know you love
me!" "Shut up!" Julie said, trying not to laugh. "Shhh, you guys, here he
comes!" Lily whispered. "Good morning, Anthony," Elizabeth called out
causing Julie to blush and turn away, missing the look he gave her. "Oh my
God! He's so into you!" Elizabeth squealed. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, so you tell
me," Julie said, rolling her eyes. "Hey, Good-Looking! How's it been going
my love?" An ever-so-arrogant James Potter asked Lily. "God, Potter,
shouldn't you brush your teeth before you hit on a girl?" Lily retorted without
a pause. "Hmmm, Lily's feisty this morning, but don't worry, Lilykins, I'm
feeling lucky today!" He continued on like she hadn't said anything. "Oh, so
your not going to spill anything on yourself today?" Lily asked with an arched
eyebrow. "Nope! Sorry, Lils, I know you find me so sexy when I've got food
all over me," James replied with a grin that would've scared a female football
player. "Oh, shut up, James," Lily told him, while she got up and
'accidentally' spilt pumpkin juice all over his pants. "Oh, oops! I hope you're
not late to Transfiguration, that would be so-very-awful! Ta ta!" Lily called
out with the fakeness of Professer Umbridge. "Hey, Lily, don't you think
Sirius is especially hot, when he's trying not to laugh at James' expense?"
Melissa asked with her face turning pinker with every word she spoke. "Uh,
Melissa? Where did that come from?" Lily asked her in utter confusion. "Oh,
well, I just thought that Sirius looks cute when he's trying not to laugh at
your jokes," She said, turning bright red. "Come on, Julie, I know for a fact
that Anthony will be dropping his books in the third corridor. We'll see y'all at
lunch!" Elizabeth said, pulling Julie along to the third corridor. "How do you
know that, Liz?" Julie asked her, suspiously. Well, you see, Jul, there's this
thing called a wand, and I know a spell for that very purpose," Elizabeth
retorted sarcastically. "Lizzzzzzzz, do we have to?" Julie whined.
"God, she's such a bitch!" Peter said, while James was trying to magic
the pumpkin juice off of his pants. "Yeah, but she's so hot!" James said with
his normal Thursday-like breathlessness. "Damn, Potter, you've got it bad,"
Anthony, the fifth boy in their dormitory said from the doorway. "Me, I don't
get involved with the girls I like," he said, causing the other boys to laugh.
"Yeah, right, Tony, you've got it so bad, you won't even talk to Julie," James
pointed out, "What are you doing up here anyway?" "Well, I was walking up
to my class, and my bag started ripping. It was really weird," Anthony told
them. "Sounds like a girl's work to me," James said. "Man, you're like
paranoid about girls," Anthony told him. "If you had looks like this, you'd be
paranoid too," James told him, completely serious. "Whatever, Man, you've
asking Lily out again this afternoon?" Anthony asked him. "Hell, yeah! I'm not
giving up until she says yes. Are you going to be there?" James replied.
"Wouldn't miss it. See you later Man," Anthony told him.
"And, Mr. Potter, where have you been?" Professor McGonagall asked. "Well, Professor, I had a
bit of a mishap at breakfast, and I needed to get cleaned up," He informed her. "Luckily, for you,
Mr. Potter, I'm in a generous mood, but if you're late again thsi month, I swear, you'll wish you
were never born. Is that clear?" She asked him, in a booming voice. "Miss Evans?" Professor
Mcgonagall said. "Yes, Professor," Lily answered. "If I so much as hear you and Mr. Potter flirting
I'll make sure you two get detention for a week, together," She threatened. "Professor! If you ever
hear me flirt with Potter, I would hope you would throw me to the Giant Squid!" Lily exclaimed in a
melodramatic way. "That hurts, my Lily Flower! That gets me right in the heart!" James exclaimed.
"One more word out of you,Mr. Potter, and I'll make sure, Miss Evan's grade depends on how
badly she turns you down on Thursdays!" She yelled. With that she began explaining how very
important it was to picture what you wanted to turn into an eagle before you
actually did it. By the time the bell rang, nobody had heard a peep out of the
two love birds, and were quite thankful. "So, how do you feel about Lilies,
Lily?" James asked. "Oh shut up, you're so annoyingly..." Lily couldn't even
think of a word awful enough to say. "Sweet, sexy, hot, cute, adorable?"
James tried to finish her sentence. "Hey, James, Lily, what's up?" Anthony
called. "Hey, Anthony, will you walk me to class?" Lily asked him. "Uh, sure,
somebody?" Lily asked, innocently. "Yeah, where's this going, Lily?" He
asked, still totally clueless. "Oh, nowhere I was just wondering if you had
your eye on a particular girl?" She asked, trying to hint at him. "Uh, yeah, I
like a girl," He said, the idea still not formed. "Okay, Anthony, I'll cut to the
chase. Do you like one of my friends?" She asked him bluntly. "Oh, yeah. I
do," He answered, still not getting the point. "Well, which one?" Lily asked,
rolling her eyes. "Oh! I like Julie," He finally got what was going on. "Oh,
that's great! Are you ever going to ask her out?" Lily asked him. "Oh, well,
the thing is, I'm afraid she'll say no," Anthony said, not looking Lily in the eye.
"Well, you'll never know unless you ask her to Hogsmeade this weekend, but
I've got a hunch it'd be affirmative," Lily said, with a twinkle in her eyes.
"Okay, I think I'll ask her at lunch then," He said, with a huge smile on his
face. "Well, thanks for walking me to class, Tony," Lily said with a smile.
"Hey, Lils, how was your morning?" Kathryn asked. "Oh it was okay,
how was yours?" Lily asked. "Oh my God! I met thecutest guy! His name
is Joseph, and he looks like he's into me! How completely terrific is that? Oh
my God! Look! There he is!" Kathryn exclaimed. "Oh, wow, heis cute," Lily
said with a smile on her face. "Hey y'all! Guess what!" Elizabeth exclaimed.
"What?" Lily and Kathryn asked in unison. "Hey, Julie, could I talk to you for a
minute?" Anthony asked, catching everyone by surprise except for Lily. "Uh,
sure, Anthony," Julie said, hardly able to contain herself. "Oh my God! I
thought that he'dnever ask her! Anyway, I met a totally adorable guy
today!" Elizabeth exclaimed. "Really? What's his name? Joseph!" Elizabeth
exclaimed. The looks of horror on Lily and Kathryn's faces would have made
anyone think someone had just died. "Oh my God! You should have seen
y'all's faces! I didn't really meet a guy named Joseph. I heard y'all talking. Oh
my God! That was such a good joke!" Elizabeth exclaimed. "Hey, guys!
Guess who's got a date this weekend?" Julie said. "Me?" Melissa asked. "No,
I do! Wait since when do you have a date?" Julie asked. "Since Sirius asked
me in the corridor. Since when do you ahve one?" Melissa asked. "Since
Anthony asked me a few minutes ago!" Julie exclaimed. "Oh my God! This is
so exciting!" They exclaimed. "Oh my God, look, here come's James,"
Elizabeth whispered. "Hey there, Lily, baby," James said. "God, James could
you just say, Lily, for once?" Lily asked. "Okay, Lily, would you like to go with
me this weekend?" James asked. "Hmmmm, let me think about that. No!
Get the picture! I don't want to go out with you! I'd rather date
Frankenstein!" Lily yelled. "Okay, okay, I get it! I get it! I won't ask you
again," James said. "Huh?" Lily asked, smartly. "Pysch!" James yelled. "God,
James, you're such a loser," Kathryn told him. "Okay, well, it was so
wonderful visiting you ladies, but we have business to attend to. I'll pick you
up at ten Saturday, is that okay, Melissa?" Sirius asked. "Yeah," Melissa said,
in between the giggles and blushes.
