-1Chapter 2: New Girl

Over the next few weeks, Lily was thinking about what Makiya said; she was so confused about her feelings. She knew she hated James, but she couldn't help thinking about him. That morning at breakfast there was nothing out of the ordinary going on, just same old same old. When a girl walked in. she hade light brown wavy hair, jeans and a big cote on, and was carrying a backpack, Lily hade never seen her before, she walked up to the staff table and said something to professor McGonagall. She got out of her chare and walked out of the hall, and the girl went and stood in the corner. A few minutes later, McGonagall returned with a stool and the sorting hat, and she put the hat down on the stool and said

"May I please have you attention? We have a new student joining us from America, her name is Samantha Hunters"

People where whispering to there friends. And once every one settled down the girl sat down on the stool, and put the sorting hat on her head,

"Hmm… now let me see," it said "Vary brave, that's good. But not the sharpest crayon in the box, so I think that rules Ravenclaw out, so I think I'll have to say, GRYFFINDOR"

The Gryffindor table erupted with clapping, the girl got off the stool and went and sat down next to the marauders, James smiled at her, and Lily could feel her cheeks getting red as James started to talk to her. He pushed his hair back like he always did when he tried to look cool.

"Who dose he think he is, flirting with the new girl like that" she said

"I don't think she mines it" said Makiya

Lily looked at her agen, it was true, she was laughing at his stupid jokes and flipping her hair back, she was intern, flirting with him

"Sorry Lily, but I think you have some competition" said Makiya. Lily got up and said

"I'm going to be late for class" and stormed out of the hall. But she in fact was not late at all, and was the only one in her Defense against the dark arts class room when the professor came out of her offices. She was Lily's favorite professor, she was only twenty five, and she could explaining thing to them better than there books could. And she never had them call her professor, but Katie

"What are you doing here so early Evans? Class doesn't start for fifteen more minuets" she said putting a black sheet over a big fish tank.

"I'm sorry professor" said Lily "I'm just not hungry, so I came down here"

"I know that's not it" she said looking down at Lily "Boy problems?" Lily didn't say any thing to her; she just stared down at her desk

"Look, I know for a fact that you like Potter" Lily Looked up at her in surprise "I'm not stupid, I was you're age not to long ago. I know Potter. And you're not going to get his attention by playing shy, you have to get in his face and get him to notice you" Lily was surprised how much Katie knew about this

"But how do you-?" asked Lily "I may have eavesdropped once or twise" she said "but that's beside the point, just get his attention and I bet you any thing he'll like you, you're a really nice girl Evans"

She's right, I cant just sit back, I need to do some thing

"Thanks Katie" said Lily
