Disclamer: I do not own Harry Potter
To love, or not to love
Chapter 6: Cold, cold Christmas – part 2
Lily sat at her desk, staring blindly at the window. She always got a little bit depressed at Christmas time. Not that she had any reason for it, things just was like that. She sighed and bite herself in the lip. Outside everything was grey. It hadn't snowed that Christmas, and the grey landscape didn't exactly cheer her up.
Maybe I should write a letter to Barb, she thought to herself.
It has been a while…
Nah… I'm not in the mood…
Maybe some chocolate would help.
Yes, chocolate would definitely help!
She got up from the chair, and went to her secret hide of a (quite big) amount of chocolate bars.
She picked one with some very purple wrapping.
She opened it, and took a bite with an expression of deep enjoyment.
Oh, there was nothing in the world as good, fat chocolate!
She thought of some words Barb had once uttered (and clever ones too…) ; "Chocolate gives you the feeling of being in love".
In love… with whom?
Well… she did have some admires at school.
It wasn't like she was ugly or anything…
But still. Not one of them would be a choice for her as a future boyfriend.
And especially not him! James Potter didn't have the shadow of a chance with her.
She didn't even want to think of him.
Well, he WAS handsome though… and well trained (almost sexy). And all the other girls at school seemed to like him.
But that still wasn't enough! He was a brat, and an idiot.
As soon as she had made that conclusion, she sighed and went back to the window-staring.
Then suddenly, something cached her attention.
Was it a plane?
A bird?
Yes. A bird.
A big and strange looking one.
Flying exactly towards her window.
It came closer, and now she could se that it was an owl.
And the reason why it looked strange, was the cone-formed package in its claws.
She opened the window, and waited for the bird to entrance.
The owl (a big brown one), landed at her desk, pushing several books and quills at the floor, and stepped a little away from the strange formed package.
Lily took it, and weighed it in her hands.
It was quite light, and smelled familiar.
She made a big sneeze, and unwrapped slowly the package, having an idea of what it would be.
And she was right.
Flowers…
Of cause it was flowers. And Lilies too.
Why did boys have such a small romantic imagination?
She couldn't count all the times she had gotten lilies for valentines day, birthdays and so on…
Well… it was nice to get presents and all.
And flowers looked nice.
The only problem was, that she was allergic to them…
hay fever could be a pretty mean thing.
She sighed heavily, and put the flowers in the furthest corner of the table, knowing that her eyes would begin to swim over and that her nose would swell like a potato if the lilies was to near her.
"well.. better see who's it from…" she said to herself, taking the parchment envelope that came with the package.
And as she read the card, her face turned more and more read for each sentence.
"OH MY GOD! He HAS to be kidding!" she said furiously, raising her voice by every word.
She get abrupt up from her chair, kicking it over, and ripped the flowers to her in an angry movement.
She went directly to her dustbin, and threw the (now quite damaged) flowers in it.
"Oh that POTTER" she spat.
"first he embarrass me in front of everyone! Then he god help me, send me some bloody flowers! That PRAT!"
How could he even THINK that she was ever going to forgive him?
And she already hated him in the first place.
He didn't have a chance.
And no matter what he did, he could NEVER get one!
At least that was what she thought…
New chapter (finally…)!
Know it's a bit lame and all, but I promise that there will be a plot in it! Its not just some long description of how much they hate and/ or love each other…
