That night; all four girls in the dorm stayed up late into the night, talking.
"So….do any of us have crushes already?" Liz asked after they had talked for about an hour about snobby Slytherin girls. They all noticed Lily turned bright red at this question, and cornered her.
"Lily…..you know you want to tell us something," Beth said, teasingly.
"No, I don't." Lily replied, shaking her head.
"Guys, stop it. Can't you see you're bothering her? Lils, we won't laugh at you, just tell us." Theresa tried a more conventional way of trying to get Lily to talk.
"Sorry, no-can-do Tesa." Lily replied, still shaking her head.
"Fine. Be a party pooper." Liz said, before continued, "Billy Wagner doesn't look terrible." She said with a smile.
"Oooo! Our little Lizzie has a crush!" Beth exclaimed, almost falling off Lily's bed.
"Yea, sure! I only said that he wasn't the worst looking boy around."
"Yea, and neither is Sirius Black." Beth said.
"Oho! See! I'm not the only one!" Liz exclaimed. During this conversation, Lily and Theresa just started at each other, giggling silently.
"All right! We've got the point! Lily, will you tell us now?" Theresa asked, again.
"Fine," Lily sighed, "James Potter," she mumbled out
"I knew it!" Theresa said, punching her fists in the air. "I knew there had to be a reason why you seemed so upset when you got laughed at in front of him today." She explained.
"Wow, was it that obvious?" Lily asked.
"No, Lils, but your best friends are just good at those kind of things." Theresa said.
"Who said you were me best friends?" Lily said, teasing them. "Of course you are! I can't imagine telling anyone else about this; or becoming this close with anyone this fast." She suddenly remembered Jade. Would she have told her? How fast had they become this close? Were they ever this close? Could Jade really tell 'those kinds of things' about Lily? Could Lily do the same for Jade? The answer to these questions: no. Lily and Jade were never this close. They never would be. Somewhere deep inside of Lily, she knew this; but she didn't want to admit it. She didn't even want to think about that right then. All that mattered to her was that she had suddenly gained three, amazing, fantastic friends. And no one could do anything to take them away from her. They were just that amazing.
A/n: Sorry it was such a short chapter! After about a week too. But I'm not getting many reviews; therefore I don't think I have many readers. So what's the point of updating? The story will just go unnoticed anyway. Please please PLEASE review! I really would appreciate it! And I really want to know if anyone is actually reading this.
