Chapter 3

"Did she really say all that? Really?" James asks me the next night.

"James, you sound like an over-eager girl for gossip, you know?" This is kindly pointed out by our werewolf friend.

Wormtail sniggers at this, and we all turn to look at him.

"What? I'm just happy that I'm not the one who sounds like a girl for once!"

Need I mention that I'm very disturbed now?

"Yep. Evans told me all about you and how much she likes you. Personally, I was stunned, you know. It's not everyday that a guy listens to a girl cry over his best mate," I tell him truthfully.

"Cried? She cried? Good Merlin, I've got to go talk to her now. If I'm making her cry, I have to say sorry!"

Without further ado, he ran out of the library at an alarming pace and headed towards the Head Tower.

"Hey! Prongs! I didn't even tell you why she was crying!"

For all my efforts of helping my best buddy out, I get rewarded with a smack to the head from Madam Pince for creating so much noise.

Oh, and did I tell you that we were actually in the library that day? Wonderful how life works, isn't it?

"Owwww, Pete, stop stepping on my foot! It's hard enough to fit under this cloak with all three of us!" I whisper.

"Sorry!"

"Both of you be quiet! We shouldn't even be here! This is James's personal business, not ours!"
Righteous old Moony.

We were walking towards the Head Tower, only to see James and Lily talking outside in the hallway. Well, it was more like arguing, really.

"Lily! Am I that much of a git?"

Of course, more of those strange looks from the queen of facial expressions.

"What on earth are you talking about, Potter?" she asks incredulously.

Looking around, James then pulls Lily into the common room. Being the fabulously discreet people that we are, Remus, Peter and I follow the couple.

Taking a deep breath, James begins.

"Someone told me that I've been really idiotic lately."

Lily snorts.

Glaring at her, Prongs continues, "I'm really sorry. I didn't want to make you upset. It's just…"

Oh, nice. Now he's resorted to pacing around the room, idiot that he is. I never even said he was being a git!

"James, stop! You're driving me nuts with all that walking around!" Lily says, pulling him back towards the couch.

As both of them sit down heavily, James grabs Lily's hands in a final act of desperation.

"Please, Lily, just give me a chance. I promise I'll be a better person."

Sighing, Lily tells James that she really does fancy him. She just doesn't want to go out with a git like him. Honestly, neither would I. Then again, I'd have to be gay to go out with Prongs, right? Trust me, I for one, am not gay! I really couldn't say the same for every guy, you know.

Wait, what's this? It looks like Prongs and Evans are kissing! Why are they kissing? I thought Lily just called him a git!

"Correct me if I'm wrong, my fellow pranksters, but are James and Lily kissing?" I ask, mortified.

Both Remus and Pete nod their heads.

"So they're kissing even though Lily called James a git?"

The nodding of the heads continues. I swear, if they keep nodding like this, their heads will roll off one day, and then I don't know what they'll do!

Moony and Wormtail seem so immersed in watching this scene that I don't think they realise that their robes are burning. Is it my fault that I asked them to stand directly in front of the fireplace? I guess not!

Alright. You know the deal. I hint about the review thingy, and hopefully, you guys understand! Life's great that way, doncha think?

Oh yeah. And just to tell you, this is the last chapter for this story. It's supposed to be a short one anyway.
