Chapter Two
The Chance
Dedicated to Flying Fawkes815
James looked from the great hall doors to his friends, each giving him quizzlingly looks, James shrugged then looked at Em and Lexia, who were glaring hard in James's direction. James gulped knowing he was just about to get this ego deflated by the two Gryffindor girls.
"James Potter have you no tack?" Em bellowed, causing many of the heads to turn towards the Gryffindor table.
James gulped again and has the nerve to look at the girls ashamedly.
"No" James offers meekly
"Of course you don't, you prat!" Lexia cries out
Sirius and Remus shuffle down the table away from James and eye the girls cautiously. Peter had by now run off, un-noticed by the others.
Lexia stands as Em does; both swing their bags over their shoulders. Em walks away but Lexia stays and looks sadly at James.
"Listen James, Lily doesn't hate you per say, but you really need to get to know who she is…"
"How am I going to get to know her when she never wants to talk" James says mournfully
"James, just tell Lily you want to get to know her, the real her and for gods sake don't hit on her!" Lexia sternly says
James looks at Lexia with thankfulness and Lexia smiles at James.
"James, Lily is, on the inside, very different then who she appears, because of her…never mind" Lexia stops and looks up at the head table quickly then back at James "…you have a lot of common interest, even if you don't see it." Lexia says and then picks up a piece of toast "See youse in Potions" Lexia says, smiles once more and walks up the Gryffindor table and out the large golden doors.
James walked into potions, early, much earlier than what is natural for him. James scoped the room and at once saw Evans seated in the back of the room, had it not been for her flaming red hair she would have went un-noticed. James walked over to her desk, where Lily had her head rested on the table her hair surrounding her. James cautiously sat down in the empty seat beside her and placed his bag on the table.
Lily groaned into the table "Go away Potter"
"No" James answers
Lily lifts her head from the table and glares at James, trying to rid him with her famous 'death' stare. James notices Lily's eyes are just a bit two red for normal, and falls guilty at the thought of making Lily cry. Lily sighs.
"Please, can't you just leave me alone?" Lily begs
James shakes his head and Lily brings her head down to the table once again.
"Why" Lily asks James weakly
"Because" James stats
"Do you have to be so difficult?" Lily moans
"Lily, you said I don't know a thing about you right?" James asks
Lily just hits her head on the table.
"Well, I was thinking…"
But Lily muttering, "Did it hurt?" cut of James from continuing.
James ignores the come back that is thumping inside his heading willing itself to come out, James shakes his head trying to rid his brain of it. 'Come on, you don't want to stuff this up do you?' He thinks to himself before trying to resolve things with Lily.
"I want a truce," James says
Lily looks up at James from the table her eyes watching him from her underneath strands of hair.
"What?" She asks surprised
" I want a truce, to get to know you, stuff like that," James repeats
Lily still looks at James confusingly from underneath her hair, her eyebrows knitted in thought.
"I want to be friends," James elaborates
"So no more hitting on me, no more flirting, or annoying me with futile attempts at charming?" Lily asks lifting her head off the table.
James heart sinks; he had not been expecting that. James mentally slaps himself.
"I guess if that's what you want," James slowly says
Lily looks at the top of her desk face distorted in concentration, thinking; running possible scenarios inside her head. All the while James starts to get nervous. Lily looks up at James with a hard glare, that James thinks is far too intimidating.
"One chance, that's all, you stuff it up its bye bye birdie, got it" Lily says in final tone.
James gulps and nods his head rather stupidly
Lily smiles softly, she thinks for a second and then she extends her hand towards James, James looks confusedly at Lily, and Lily just rolls her eyes.
"Lily, Lily Evans, nice to meet you!"
James smiles and clasps his hand in Lily's
"James, James Potter, a pleasure to meet you too."
Lily smiles at James, and then turns to the front of the room as the class piles in. Sirius and Remus make a beeline for the seats in front of the two new friends. Em and Lexia sit on the other side of the room. And give Lily a secretive glance.
Lily pulls out her black ink and phoenix quill from her bag, her potions book, a parchment book and another piece of parchment with gold outlining the edges. Lily herself had charmed this piece of paper as well as the other two pieces that Lexia and Em had to last for ten years without damage; it took Lily months to find the spell. Lily dunked her quill into the ink and wrote on the gold lined paper, known as the 'vixens secret' to the three girls.
In black shiny ink, the words ' La Chocolat a Moi, La chocolat a tou' appeared in Lily's handwriting.
A few seconds later the words 'when do we get chocolate' appeared. Lily smirked to herself. Lily missed James look of surprise as he watched the girls and Lily write on identical paper, and communicate with one another.
Professor Slughorn walked into the room and the class went quiet, Lily heard him say something about reading chapter thirteen.
Lily paused before dunking her quill in the ink again.
'exus'e, non chocolate a tou'
' What no chocolate? How propitious, we must kill the evil ficklefairie'
'Kill me all you like, you will never find my chocolate'
'My poor lily has to sit with the snake hating person"
"I know, our poor baby'
'Shut it you two'
'Yes ma'am'
Lily smiled and noticed James looking curiously at the paper and quickly wrote down 'brb'
and turned to her curious…friend.
"Yes?" Lily asks
"What is that?" James asks pointing to the parchment
"Oh, it's a piece of parchment" Lily stats
"I know that!"
"Then why asks" lily smirks
James rolls his eyes
"How you get it to communicate between three people?" James tries again
"A magician never reveals her secrets"
