Lily
"James was asking me who you were going with " said Alice to Lily.
" Was he now " said Lily. " And what did you say?"
" Nothing " replied Alice. " That whats you wanted isn't it?"
" Of course."
" James is going with someone else now."
" Is he?" said Lily a little startled.
" Yeah... I didn't hear who though."
" Well... I'm pleased for him."
" You dont sound it."
" Alice I dont get you or Molly or anyone else for instance. Everyone seems to think that if James or I date others. Its like a great scandal or something. I mean we have never went out together."
Alice nodded. " It's not that Lily. It just that you and James seem so perfect for each other."
" Yeah well... I wish I had a choice in that subject."
" You do " cried Alice. " And tell me Lily. Do you agree with what we are saying that you and James are perfect for each other?"
Lily didn't answer.
A smile crept over Alice's face.
" Your silence tells me you dont like him."
" I..."
Alice grinned. " Or else it tells me you do."
Lily laughed and threw a book at her.
" You do " cried Alice. " I knew you did."
Lily smiled. " I haven't said anything."
" It's only a matter of time " said Alice.
Lily picked up her books and walked towards the door.
" So he definatly doesnt know who I am going with?"
" Definatly " said Alice. " Infact he looks pretty annoyed by it."
" Excellent " said Lily as she swished back her red hair.
Lily looked at her watch.
" I dont believe it... we'll be late for potions. Come on..."
