The Little Red Book: Chapter 2
Disclaimer: Everything you don't recognize belongs to me. The rest is J.K.'s wonderful work.
Sorry for the delay, but I've been really busy. I'm trying to update everything now so I don't feel too guilty when June comes around and I have all those year-end final exams. Aren't I a clever one? Now, I'll start writing before I get run over by one of you, for stalling time. Here goes! Enjoy and don't forget to review!
What Happened Last:
The last sentence Lily added only as a joke, as she had many fantasies. Little did she know what was going to happen next. As she sleepily dipped her ink into the inkpot for the last time, to write the P.S, her already half closed eyes jerked open. (A/N: She had used up two pages so Lily was looking at one written page and one blank.) On the page she hadn't used, a fancy scrawl-ish reply started forming in deep red ink. Her breath caught in her throat as she started reading the forming words.
Lily's half closed eyes jerked open. The green emeralds quickly scanned the page as the blood-red ink sank into the page.
Well, well, well. What do we have here? So you say you're Lilianna, eh? I'm Diary.
You're probably wondering if I'm possessed, but don't worry cause I'm not. I'm just a diary with a spell cast over it. This spell was cast by Dumbledore himself, over 50 years ago. I bet even he doesn't remember it. But, here I am.
No, I'm not evil. When Dumbledore cast this "spell", he was a very lonely wizard, still in school. He needed a friend to talk to, therefore I was created. Over the years, Albus Dumbledore became a very capable, yet powerful wizard and I was not needed. He forgot about me over the years and today I was dug out to be used again. I usually show up when someone needs me, and now I guess its you.
You talked about this "James" person…he doesn't seem too bad, but you must know him better than me. Well, you seem like a fun person, and I can't wait to really get to know you! Loads of Love, Diary.
Lily woke up early Saturday morning, and went to the bathroom. She noticed great, dark circles around her eyes, but with the diary, she hadn't been able to get much sleep. Maybe Potter wouldn't ask her out today? She didn't look too appealing…
Lily checked her watch after showering and getting dressed. Still over an hour left until Avril and Regina would wake up. She glanced over at Regina, whose long brown hair was draped in every direction all over her pillow. She was breathing deeply, so Lily was careful not to make a noise, as Regina Crawford was a very light sleeper. On the bed, on the other side of Lily, was Avril Stevens. Her short blond hair was neatly tied up in a ponytail as she lightly snored, sleeping more deeply than Regina. Lily sighed and looked into the mirror. She still didn't even understand why Potter liked her. She wasn't smart or pretty.
But she also wasn't dumb or ugly.
Her marks were all almost perfect, although Lily wasn't a nerd. Her deep red hair was in-between Regina's long hair and Avril's short. That's how she thought of herself. In-between Regina and Avril. She wasn't as tall as Avril, or as short as Regina. However, Regina wasn't that short and Avril wasn't that tall. Still. Her eyes weren't as blue as Avril's either. They were green. Regina's eyes were green too, but they were more of a deep colour. Lily's were more lighter. She'd always thought they didn't have any colour in them. Lily always wondered what Potter saw in those dull, lifeless, pale green eyes, and that ugly red hair.
Lily walked over to her closet. Since this was a Hogsmeade weekend, she wanted to look good for Amos, her boyfriend. Wait…was it even Amos she was dressing up for? Or was it more of her desire for Potte---some of the other guys? Nah…she shook the in-denial thoughts out of her head and quickly picked a light blue baby tee and denim Capri's to show her conscience that she wasn't dressing up for Jame---for any guy.
She sighed, not knowing what to do in this hour. Suddenly, she had this urge to pick up a quill. Her gaze flew to her Diary, and she grabbed it.
Lily started scribbling a reply to her Diary friend.
Hey, Diary!
My friends are sleeping right now so I decided to write to you. I'm going to tell you all my secrets, after all, if you have a spell over you, then it will be hard for Jam---people to break into. You said that people that have a problem end up with you, and I was wondering, what would my problem be? I'm a very happy girl, and I don't have a problem. But whatever. I'm glad to have a friend to tell secrets to. Gonna go grab something to eat, and then head off to Hogsmeade with Avril and Regina! Bye!
Lily
After writing that, Lily walked back to her closet and quickly changed into a black mini-skirt and a white sleeve-less shirt before heading down for breakfast.
