Attack of Allanah
James stared out of the window in the Marauders' dormitory. He saw laughing students, fighting couples and some reading books. He let out a sigh.
Ever since the incident in the Transfiguration Class, the week before, he had been very quiet and rather stiff.
His friends were become more and more worried about him. He didn't want to play pranks, he didn't... well, he didn't really want to do anything except look out of that stupid window.
"Prongs?"
No answer. More staring out of the window.
"Prongs..."
"I just need some time to think."
Sirius and Remus sighed.
"We'll come back later.
After they left, James closed his eyes. He fell back onto a chair and thought...
Why? Why did she hate him so much? Sure, he made fun of her in First Year but that was years ago. The past few weeks, they had been getting along very well. James had thought, mabye just mabye he had a chance somewhere.
But he knew, now, that it was impossible. Why couldn't Lily just give him a chance? She was the reason he got out of bed every day. His parents were gone and only the Maruders were left...and Lily.
He knew Lily never really liked him but he didn't imagine that she hated him. He had always convinced himself that she liked him back, but now? It wasn't working.
He had tried to forget about her and every morning, he would wake up and think to himself,"Today is the day when I forget all about Evans." But when he walked down to breakfast, he would meet her beautiful eyes and fall under her spell, again.
Away from all these things, he never imagined she hated him.
What she yelled out in Transfiguration echoed in his mind like some kind of ghostly record.
He had met her eye and he had seen some kind of pleading in them but she'd probably felt sorry for him. He had walked out feeling hurt and torn.
Since then, he had avoided her. Or rather, she avoided him.
Then he suddenly came to a decision. He would talk to her after the Prefect Meeting. Mabye she would give him a chance if she knew how much he cared for her. He knew his feelings for her were real. He'd never felt such strong emotions to anyone before. Before this year, they were little feelings but now he knew it was love.
With that, he stood up and went to join his friends for dinner.
He walked into the Great Hall and sat down next to Sirius.
"Hey! Get off that seat! That seat's reserved for James!" Sirius snapped without even looking at him.
James stifled a laugh and said,"It IS James."
Sirius spun around faster than Superman and yelled,"PRONGS!"
James smiled and helped himself to some bread.
"So, James, are you okay, now?"Asked Remus, smiling.
"Yup."James replied, cheerfully.
Sirius was about to say something but his happy expression turned to an alarmed one and he whispered, urgently, to James,"Allanah Alert!"
James yelped and dived under the table. Peter looked petrified. Sirius and Remus smirked.
A pretty Ravenclaw girl with white blond hair came over to the Gryffindor table. She had grey eyes and drew attention from everyone.
She stopped at in front of the Marauders.
She put a pretty smile on her lips."Hi, Sirius. Hi, Remus." She ignored Peter who was still shaking with fear.
"So, where's Jamesie?"She asked, smoothing her hair."I thought i saw him come in. I thought he might want to go to the next Hogsmead trip."
Sirius and Remus sighed with frustration. Sirius replied,"He's not here. We wouldn't tell you where he is, anyway."
Allanah pouted and then smiled."Ten Chocolate Frogs." She held some out.
"DONE!"Yelled Sirius, snatching them out of her hand."He's-"
"SIRIUS!"Snapped Remus."How can you do that to your friend! It's very inconsiderate, not to mention it's-"
"- under the table!"
Remus sighed. Why was he friends with these people?
There was a ruffling sound under the table as James crawled, desperately trying to get away. But Allanah caught him..
"Jamesie-Poo!"She shrieked."What on earth were you doing down there! My poor baby!They put you here, didn't they?"
When she said "They", she glared at Remus and Sirius. That was it. Remus needed new friends.
"I-I-I-"
"So, I was wondering if you had a date for Hogsmead. You can go with me, can't you?"
James looked pleadingly at Sirius, Remus and Peter. But Sirius was too busy eating chocolate frogs and Peter was still looking petrifed.
It was Remus who came to his rescue.
"James is very busy, that day. James and i were planning to go to Hogsmeade by ourselves."
He put lots of emphasis on "Ourselves."
Allanah huffed and stormed back to the Ravenclaw Table.
"She's gone."Remus said. James let a sigh of relief.
"Thanks, Moony. I owe you one."
Then he turned to Sirius and Peter and snapped,"Thanks a bunch."
Peter missed James' sarcastic tone and replied,"Anytime."
Sirius looked sorry and said,"Sorry, mate. But it was a good deal."
James let out a dramatic sigh."It looks like Moony's the only one i can trust. It looks like he'll be my Best Man if i ever have a wedding."
Sirius' jaw dropped."NO NO NO NO NO NO!"
Remus smirked."Alright!"
"I'm sorry, Prongs! Please forgive me..."
Sirius kept continuing. Remus smiled more widely each time.
Then bell went.
"James, it's time for the Prefect Meeting."Remus said.
"Oh, right."Said James."Let's go."
James and Remus went to the usual meeting place.
Lily entered and James tried not to meet her eye.
The meeting finshed and the Prefects practically ran out, eager to catch up with their friends.
"You go on. I'll see you later." James told Remus, who was waiting to walk back with him to the common room.
Lily and James were the only ones left in the room. Lily looked away and was leaving but James stopped her.
"Lily, I want to talk to you."
Lily stopped and turned around. She eyed him, nervously.
"I need to tell you something."
