Anyway, i hope you enjoy the new chapter.
Breaking News
Few weeks had gone by. Katelin and James were apparently the "Hottest Couple" in Hogwarts.
Everyone talked about them as they watched them admiringly and wanted to be like them.
Except the, "I Love James Potter Club" and, "Sirius Black and James Potter Lovers Club", who didn't hesitate to throw death stares and hexes at Katelin.
Allanah also seemed to be hating Katelin. She would follow the couple around and when they were least expecting it(when they were about to kiss), she would jump out of her hiding place and start chatting away about random things.
But other than that, everyone admired the couple.
On the other sideof the story, the professors noticed that Lily was strangely quiet and didn't practically leap up to answer a question.
Jenny and Amy seemed to notice this, as well. They would look at Lily and then look at each other, worriedly. Then, they'd remember and turn back to whatever they were doing as they sighed.
Anyway, Lily was walking to her dormitory after Transfiguration. Her head was in her textbook, concentrating on Animagus transformations.
"-To make an Animagus Transformation Potion take unusual skill and talent. Most wizards cannot make the potion or perform the complex spell after drinking the potion.
That is why the Ministry of Magic keeps close watch on ones that make the potion, since anything could go wrong.
After the transformation, it is a demand that you register at the Ministry of Magic to give them details on the characteristics of the animal you turn into.
If you are an unregistered animagus, it is a life-time sentence in the grimmist wizard prison, Azkaban, which is located in the British territory in the North Sea.
Also, it is crucial that-"
"Oh! Doesn't James and Katelin make the BEST couple? They are so good together!-"
Lily was interrupted in her intense reading as she heard the name,"James".
Her head snapped up from the textbook she was reading and she turned around do fast that she pulled a muscle on her neck.
She had done alot of this, these days.
She frowned as the two giggling Hufflepuff girls kept going on about James and Katelin.
"I know! Katelin is SO pretty! I wish I could be just like her!"
Lily's frown turned into a glare that could kill Voldemort on the spot.
"They look good together! James is so handsome and Katelin is, like, the prettiest girl in school!-"
Lily's patience finally snapped and she let out a scream of frustration.
"ARRRRRRGHHHHH! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! YOU KNOW NOTHING BITCHES!"
The everyone in the corridor stopped and turned around to stare at her. People in classrooms came out to see what was happening.
As everyone's eyes stared at her, she felt her face turning bright red.
Eventually, people started snickering.
Lily took this as a cue to run away as fast as she could.
She ran to the safety of her dormitory and flung herself on the couch, cursing herself for having an uncontrollable temper.
About 5 minutes later, James walked in.
The relationship between them wasn't as weary as before. To Lily, James seemed to be cheerful these days. So even though they weren't best friends, they were still on speaking terms.
James sat on the couch in front of her.
He didn't say anything. Lily didn't either. She kept her head between the two cushions. For a few seconds, there was a silence.
Finally James spoke."Hey, Evans, what's all this about you running around, screaming random and offensive things in the corridors?"
Lily's head seemed to fly up.
She looked at him in shock."How do YOU know about that!"
"Everyone knows about it. Apparently, it's going to be Breaking News in the 'Hogwarts Gossip Times'. It's supposedly going to be titled,'Evans' Crazy Outburst Habit'."
Lily's face looked horrified as if she saw herself in the mirror, bald as an egg.
"WHAT! THAT'S ONLY HAPPENED ONCE! AND WHY ARE THEY PUBLISHING IT, ANYWAY! WHY CAN'T THEY MIND THEIR OWN BUISNESS!"
James took a look at Lily's face which looked like a tomato being boiled.
He smirked as he said,"Well, they are the press after all and they seem to think that the "Evans Incident" was interesting. Oh, and I know for a fact that it wasn't your first time."
Lily's horrified face moulded into a confused one."What do you mean I did it more than once?"She demanded.
"Well let me remind you...the last time you had an outburst, you yelled,"I HATE JAMES POTTER! I HATE HIM, I HATE HIM!", in the middle of Transfiguration Class. Then, in sixth year, you happened to scream out, "PETUNIA DURSLEY IS AN IMMATURE, DISCRIMINATING, GOOD-FOR-NOTHING FREAK!". Then, in fifth year-"
"OKAY! OKAY! No need to remind me! So I have a bad temper! But that doesn't mean everyone in the freaking school needs to talk about it!"
James smirked even more.
"Well, I happened to do somre research, a while ago, on tempers. The article in the Daily Prophet said that, 'Counceling is an effective way to treat mental illness. Divination also helps cut down bad tempers and raging fits.'"
Lily looked like she was about to throw something."I DO NOT NEED COUNCELLING! AND I HAVE NOT GOT A MENTAL PROBLEM AND I DON'T THROW FITS, EITHER! AND IF YOU THINK I'M GOING TO THAT OLD BAT WHO PRETENDS SHE'S A SEER, FOR ADVICE, YOU MUST BE OUT OF YOUR MIND!"She yelled at the top of her voice.
James looked serious and said,"Dear me. Sounds like you're throwing a fit. Mabye I should call St Mungo's Department for Mental Illness."
Lily glared daggers at him. She opened her mouth to snap something but she suddenly noticed the sparkle in James' eyes that had been there all along.
Then, she realised. Then, for some reason, she began to laugh. James burst, too and joined in the laughter.
"You know, I actually believed you about the Breaking News thing!"
James laughed even harder."I know! You actually fell for that! You should have seen your face when I said it!"
He was clutching the couch for support, as he continued laughing.
Then, unexpectly, a cushion flew at him hitting him directly on the head.
He looked up, sharply and saw Lily's laughing face.
He grinned and grabbed her. Then, he attacked her with tickles.
She shrieked. She collasped in his arms, laughing.
They fell onto the couch. Suddenly, everything went silent.
After a few minutes of silence, Lily spoke."James, does this mean we're friends?"
James was quiet for a minute but said,"If you want us to be."
Lily smiled,"Of course i want us to be friends! Listen, James...about the time i yelled at you. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have burst out like that, I-"
James put his hand up, interrupting her."Forget about that. I was a jerk, too. Let's just be friends."
He smiled at her and stood up."Well, I'll be going to bed. Goodnight."
"Goodnight."She said back. She watched as he walked into his room and shutting the door, softly.
She tried to ignore the feeling that the thought of him gave her.
They were friends now.
Friends.
That was a good thing, wasn't it?
But why was there a aching and gripping pain in her heart?
Then she knew she wanted to be more than friends.
But it was hopeless.
She sighed as she stood up and retreated to her room.
She lay on her bed but didn't sleep. She just lay there, staring at the ceiling.
All night.
