Chapter 2
Ugh look at Potter, playing with that godforsaken snitch! Of course he forgot about our project. Huh… usually he would kill for some alone time with me in the library… whatever. The point is, he is bringing us down and I won't stand for this. Hmph. With that thought, Lily marched up to Potter and glared at him, arms crossed, tapping her foot menacingly.
James knew she was there. He knows where she is in the room without even looking for her. Sirius and Remus call it his "Lily Radar"
He looked up at her, uninterested.
"Yes, Lily?" He spoke as if he was tired and defeated.
Lily's eyes widened a little at his demeanor. This is not the Potter I'm used to. He looks so sad…His eyes lost his mischievous glint. I never noticed how hazel his eyes were. Wait… what am I saying? Ha! Lily…. Get your head clear.
"Potter. Did you forget we are meeting after classes for our project? Because it sure doesn't look like it." Lily watched as James slowly got up from the couch, grabbed his bag and look up at her.
"I didn't forget Lily, I know you want to do well. Let's go?" He motioned his hands toward the portrait entrance.
Confused by James's behavior, Lily turned and walked out, faintly aware of James trailing behind her.
At the library, James picked a table at random and began pulling out his Transfiguration books, spare parchment and a quill. He sat down and wordlessly began jotting down spells they learned about. Lily pulled out a chair and began to brainstorm out loud.
"We should just pick 5 spells that are similar and construct a diagram or a presentation with them. I don't understand exactly what Professor McGonagall wants us to do, really." Lily paused and looked up at James who had a list of spells on his parchment.
"I thought we could do our project on spells that deal with animals. Here, take a look." James passed his parchment to Lily.
It wrote:
Bird-Conjuring Charm: "Avis" – conjures a flock of birds from wand tip
Wand motion: Two bumps in the air; Left to right
Animal to Water Goblet: "Vera Verto"
Wand motion: Tap thrice
Avifors Spell: "Avifors" – turns target into birds
Wand motion: Point at target
Animagus- Reversal Spell: Homorphus Charm
Wand motion: point at animagus form
Lily looked up, impressed at her partner.
"But there are only four…Potter, we need five." Lily handed the parchment back to Potter.
James took the parchment, nodded and said "Yea that's as many as I could write down before you saw what I was doing. Do you have any idea for the last one?"
Lily thought for a moment, inspiration striking, and took the paper to write down one more spell.
Piscifors – turns target into a fish
Wand motion: point at target
"There… that should do it!" Lily put down the quill, satisfied with how their project was turning out.
With all the spells figured out, James began to wrap up his things. "So, I'll see you tomorrow and we can figure out the presentation?"
"Uh..Y-yea, tomorrow will be fine." Lily flustered, as she saw James brusquely walk out of the library, his head hung low.
That was the most foreign experience I have ever had with Potter. He didn't even ask me out ONCE. I might even be a little dissapoin- waitwhatno! My brain is experiencing some delusions… Maybe Remus or Sirius knows what is going on with Potter...
Lily collected her things and walked out of the library in search of Remus and Sirius.
What will Lily do to figure out what is wrong with James? And what will she do when she finds out? Read and Review and I'll post Chapter 3! R&R
