Glimmer
James woke up by falling off his bed and crashing on the floor.
Swearing and cursing the hard floor, he got up.
Sighing, he got ready for classes and walked down to breakfast.
Jenny, Amy and Lily were sitting at the Gryffindor table, chatting away, happily.
Or so it seemed.
At least Jenny and Amy were chatting away. They were talking about their dates and what dresses they were going to wear.
Lily on the other hand, was sitting still.
She was already regretting that she had accepted Diggory's invitation to the ball.
"Lily, you're so lucky, you're going with Amos!"Jenny suddenly said to her.
"Oh, yeah... I like blue dresses, too."Lily said, shaking out of her thoughts.
Amy and Jenny looked at Lily with their eyebrows raised.
"Um, Lily? We were talking about blue dresses 10 minutes ago."Amy said, slowly and carefully, as if Lily was dense.
"You weren't listening, were you?"Jenny asked.
"Sorry..."Lily sighed.
Jenny and Amy went back to talking about shoes, while Lily went back to her thoughts.
Lily looked at Amy and Jenny. They were happy with their dates.
If only she could be...
Not that she didn't like Amos. He was a nice guy even though he was a bit thick.
Amos was good looking, played Quidditch, was popular and loads of girls liked him.
But he wasn't James.
Lily sighed.
She decided not to tell Jenny and Amy about her feelings for James.
"So, Lily, what do you think of Amos?"Amy suddenly asked.
Lily took a deep breath and joined their conversation.
James was in Transfiguration.
For once, he wasn't interested in what McGonagall was saying.
He's attention was on Diggory and Lily.
He scowled as he saw Diggory lean over and kiss Lily.
He had a urge to kill Diggory on the spot. Or punch the living daylight out of him.
James was gritting his teeth and had his fists clenched.
"Mr Potter? I believe I asked you a question. Would you care to answer?" McGonagall was looking at him, sternly.
"DIE, DIGGORY, DIE!"James suddenly yelled.
There was a moment of silence, then everyone burst out laughing. Except for Amos Diggory who looked petrified that James Potter had turned on him.
James went red, embarassed. He cleared his throat.
"Well, I was acting. Know what I mean? I think I might want to be a actor when I leave Hogwarts."James said, weakly.
Hitting himself on the head, he turned back to his book.
But he couldn't concentrate.
The image of Lily and Diggory kept flashing into his mind.
James sighed and closed his eyes.
It was useless. Lily would never love him.
So he might as well, get over her.
Starting with this ball...
"Hey! Wait up!"James was running, trying to catch up with the person.
The person turned around.
"Oh, hey, James."Katelin said, smiling.
"Hey, are you going to the ball?"James asked, quickly.
"No. I was going to go with Matt Turner, but he's decided to go with Rachel Chang."Katelin said, gloomily."Now, no one's left."
"Well, do you want to go? With me, I mean. You know, as friends."James said, quickly.
"Sure! I'd love to!"Katelin said, delightedly.
James smiled."Ok. I'll meet you at the entrance hall."
"Ok."Katelin agreed, smiling back.
They both walked off to seperate classes.
Lily was sitting in History of Magic.
She was the only person actually listening to Professor Binns.
"I can't believe it! I knew they were a great couple! Katelin and James are going to the ball together!"A girl behind her squealed.
Lily spun around. The girls behind her looked suprised.
"What!"Lily practically yelled, in disbelief.
"I know! I thought it was just a rumor, but they got back together!"
Lily just sat there, in shock.
James was sitting on the couch in Lily and his common room, reading a book.
Lily suddenly came in through the door, looking determined.
James looked up, suprised, at her sudden appearance.
"Oh, hi, Lily..."He said.
"Hi, James!"Lily said in a cheery voice.
"So, what's up?"James asked.
"Oh! I just got back from History of Magic. Amos walked me, all the way, here! Isn't he sweet? Oh, and he even let me ride his broom! He's such a great Quidditch player! Maybe the best! I can't wait to go to the ball with him! Don't you think he's so nice? He's so handsome, too! He's everything I could ask for! I-"
Lily began talking non-stop about Amos Diggory.
James got up, closing his book.
"You know what? I'm going to go to my room."He said, a bit coldly.
He walked into his room, looking pained and angry.
Lily sighed. Maybe she shouldn't have said all that.
She wanted to make James jealous. Not mad.
She, too, walked into her room.
James was lying on his bed, staring up at the ceiling.
He had no chance with her.
She seemed so happy with Diggory.
Why the hell couldn't he stop thinking about her!
Sighing, he dragged himself off the bed and got out of his room.
On the way into the kitchen, he tripped over something.
Swearing violently, he picked up the stupid piece of paper.
He unfolded it. It was Lily's writing.
"She'd probably wrote a novel on how fantastic Diggory was."James thought, disgustedly.
He was about to crumple it back up, when he saw his name on it.
Curiously, he looked at it, carefully.
"Dear Diary,
Why do i have to be like this?
Why did i have to realise i love James, after he started going out with that bloody Katelin?
I'm so stupid. If only i hadn't been so stubborn and idiotic, James and I might be together!
The only person i want to go to this stupid ball is James. Though that's never going to happen!
You know what? I'm too tired to write..."
His eyes wide, he read the entry again. And again.
He finally looked up. His face was in an expression that couldn't be described.
He slowly grinned. He folded the paper, carefully, and put it in his pocket.
There was a glimmer of hope. Maybe a small one but just enough.
It was time to chase after Lily Evans...
A/N: Yay! I've finally done the 14th chapter! Wow...Time flies by when your writing! Anyway, please review and tell me what you think... Hope you liked this chapter:)
