Chapter Seventeen
Lily managed to successfully avoid James for the rest of the evening. Alice brought some dinner up to her room. The next morning James got up two hours early and waited in their common room for Lily to come down for class but she never showed. He waited as long as he could without being late to class. He rushed down to potions, knowing he would see her there.
James pushed through the door just as Professor Slughorn was calling attention from the room. He quickly grabbed his regular table, noticing Lily was not in class. They usually sat next to one another, so when Lily showed up five minutes later, James had to hide his smile. There were only two seats left and he knew she would never choose the other one. He took a deep breath, preparing to talk to her. James looked up, expecting to see Lily advancing towards him. His jaw dropped however as he watched her walk in the opposite direction and take the seat next to a greasy haired Slytherin. His heart dropped, Severus. Lily Evans chose to sit next to Severus Snape over him.
His brain was reeling and his emotions were going bonkers. James went through a range of them quickly, first rejection, then sadness and disbelief at once. For a split second he was angry. Angry that she was acting like this. Angry that she would so easily give up their friendship. He realized suddenly that he was still staring at her, and the rest of the class was staring at him. James quickly looked away but not before catching the expression on Snape's face. He was looking straight at James, a smug smile on his face. James experienced boiling rage for the remainder of class.
