Chapter 13
Sirius Birthday
James POV
Jen and Amos have been going out for about 2 months, and Remus had been going out with Alisa for just about the same time.
I can't say I was expecting for Jen and Amos to brake up already since Quidditch season has just started… our tryout are…. well TODAY! I'll let you in a little secret (I am telling you all of this while we are SUPPOSED to be looking at the performance…but I don't need to Jen told me she would look and if there was anyone interesting she would tell me later…) Right now we just need a new beater, a keeper, and a seeker.
Lily is going berserk and is slowly noticing the nice side of me (but she forgets who I am when she sees Amos. In other words not any progress sign), Amanda has a new boyfriend, and Sirius has gotten like 3 quarters of the school to go to his party. Jen and Remus have been sleepless and have been working on making the 3 broomsticks for the party for today at 8:00 pm … I have helped as much as I can with the working but I have to take care of other things like 'Lily'.
It was breakfast and Lily agreed to sit close to the maurders (see progress going on) and said "what are the chances of getting in trouble the 3 quarters of the school in the party?" Sirius laughed, "You are talking to professionals! Oh and don't worry Minnie can't kill 3 quarters of the school at most she will yell at us" I interrupted Sirius gloating and told her "don't worry in any case I'll personally make sure to tell Macdonagal we dragged you against your own will there" Lily smiled at me and mutter a thank you (GO ME! SCORE!). To be honest everyone was worried about lily. She is slowly starting to like me…. (Maybe not as a boyfriend… but as a friend or acquaintance…. HEY it is possible!)
Anyway Jen simply said "oh Amanda how much time do you reckon it will take for you to get ready tonight" Amanda put her fork down and said "3 hours at the very least" Everyone who heard her simply went wide eyed and said "You take that long to get ready? Not even padfoot takes that long in the shower!"
Jen smiled and said "oh you seen nothing when it comes to the bathroom we are practically kicking Amanda out of the bathroom!" Lily laughed and nodded in agreement suddenly Sirius and Amanda said offended "DON'T compare me to-to that girl (Sirius) guy! (Amanda) I mean I am entitled to take long in the bathroom but him!"
We laughed as they started bickering to each other about who was more conceited.
After a while (Jen's POV)
It was finally time for Sirius HUGE party. By huge I mean amazingly big. (Sirius even got a bouncer! Some 3rd year that was Humongous, it looked as if Sirius had really gotten THE whole school to come…I was glad Remus decided Sirius might go over board and for precautions we decided to make the place bigger than necessary. Everyone had started to arrive I had told Amos that it would be a huge party and that at some point we might get lost and the best thing was to just talk to someone we knew...instead of wasting our time looking for each other.
When we got in I was amazed by my work.
This party was amazing. I was wearing some jeans and a dark purple tank top and a light jacket with a pair of silver hoop earrings and my hair as usual tied in a lose pony tail. Most of the time Amos and I sat talking until we started dancing for about 2 songs…. And I found out he was a terrible dancer. I came up with a lame excuse that it was so crowded… surprisingly he bought it and we started talking again until he said he wanted to go for some butter beer which I made sure Sirius didn't spike….
HEY you can't blame me for being cautious… I turned to start a conversation with Amos… until I found out there was no sight of him… although there was sight of Remus dancing with Alisa. He dances pretty well… but what do I know I never knew I was dating the worse dancer in history.
Later
I had waited for about and hour and Amos wasn't back so I decided to look for him. I had found James looking (or drooling) at lily. James had a chance but lily just wouldn't admit it. I suddenly looked at him lonely and believe it or not that is a strange thing. He normally has one girl begging him to dance with her…. is a nice change… I figured I would never find Amos in this crowd so I walked over to James and said "Hey stranger"
He laughed and signed "do you think she will ever like me" I rolled my eyes and said "well you can't expect all those years of you being mean to her to just go away…and lets face it your can't do things over night… all I am saying is that you should become her friend before you can expect anything. Well if it makes you feel better you aren't the only one with problems in the love department"
He looked down and said "what do YOU have to complain about you have a guy that you like and he likes you…. Um I don't see the problem" I smiled "well is not so simply dense one… I figured you already knew… well Amos isn't the prince charming I want… he is the perfect boyfriend and I thought I should get some experience, but he just isn't the guy I want... do you get what I am saying"
He signed "Yeah that happen to me last year… I don't know if you recall but I was talking to you one day and I told you I really liked Lily…. Well it happened because I had gone out with one of the most perfect girls I met… she was pretty, she liked Quidditch, she was smart, she was nice, you get the picture… she had everything but I eventually broke up with her because I realized that lily was the one I wanted all along" I laughed "love sucks" He laughed along with me "oh yeah…so who is the REAL prince charming"
I gulped and took a deep breath and said, "I am not sure I think it might be… um … it might be Remus but then again I like Amos but I just been so jealous of Alisa I don't know anymore… I don't want to brake up with Amos but at the same time I just want to scream every time Alisa is with Remus" He laughed, "WE ALL want to do that. I think you should just do nothing… one day soon you'll get some sign that tells you the answer you seek and then is up to you…" I smiled and said, "Where is lily?" James suddenly turned around and said, "I dunno…. do you think we'll find a replacement for our chaser who will be in the hospital because of that girl punching his well…?"
Lily's POV
I was incredibly bored… I looked like such a loser going to a party with no date and no friend to talk with. I knew James was drooling at me… but I wasn't desperate! I should concentrate on the future. I asked the bartender for another butter beer when someone said "one for me too" then when I turned around it was Amos! OKAY lily this is no time to lose your cool just breathe…. WHO AM I KIDDING I am so screwed. I tried to ignore Amos but he just made it impossible because he just HAD TO talk to ME! I tried to keep cool. He started making small talk "Hey lily" I turned and said "Hi" trying to keep my tone cool and distant. Then Amos then said "look lily I am tired of you pretending what happen didn't" I was surprised that he said it so in the open.
I simply gave up and said, "Fine you want to talk about it? It never ever happen, it didn't mean anything… period. WELL that was fun okay now bye" I got up and left. He was close behind me and said "I won't leave you alone until we talk like the mature students we are" I stopped turned around and said "fine but we need to talk some where private" Amos said instantly "fine come with me"
I gulped and said to myself "you are strong and courageous you are a Gryffindor you have nothing to fear he is a hupleffuf." I followed him at a good distance but it was hard to with so much people. I notice we came to a stop near the wall… okay…wait is- it's a BROOM CLOSET! I glared questioningly at Amos and asked "so why exactly did you bring me here?" he laughed and said, "You asked for privacy…. So get in…. I'll even let you have your wand out if it makes you feel safer" that made me relies he was provably saying the truth… I nodded and got in to the broom closet.
It was quite dark so I mutter "lumos" and got as far away from Amos as possible. We shared an uncomfortable silence… until he started talking and said "look I can't explained it either I have no clue what happen or what it meant but I know it did and I know I felt something… I don't regret it but I just need to know if you felt something" I looked around and took a deep breath and said "look I know it happen but I- I just don't know I- you. US I doubt it will…." And then he locked me into a passionate kiss… I hate to say this but I wasn't exactly jinxing him or killing him or fighting back…. OH GOD I am kissing my best friends boyfriend (OKAY fine it was more like making out!)! ….
Dun Dun Dun DA! So tell me was it interesting? Please comment… even if you don't like it just give me suggestions that aren't too harsh. OH COME ON REVIEW! -- Well just to give you some hints of next chapter:
