Fire to Ice
Ugh the wifi is trying to kill me.
Chapter 5
Lily started plotting right away on how to kill– I mean….get rid of Alex.
She was sure her plan was going to work.
"Hello, Alex!" she beamed at Alex in classes and whenever she saw her.
"Hey, um, Lily," she would say nervously.
Lily's plan was to get close with Alex and somehow convince her to stop dating James.
Alex was sitting under a tree one day when Lily sat down next to her.
"Hey, Alexander!" Lily smiled.
"Hey, Lils, how are you?" Alex asked.
"I'm fine," Lily fibbed, "what about you?"
"I'm good," Alex said.
"Funny," Lily said.
"What is?"
"The fact that you're doing good."
"Why?"
"You don't know?" Lily said, hoping her plan would work. "You're dating James Potter, Alex."
"Why is that bad?" Alex asked.
"Oh, he's a terrible boyfriend."
"Why is he?"
"All he does is get down to business with the girl and then it's over and he breaks up with them."
"What, really?" Alex looked scared.
"Of course!" Lily cried. "I can't believe you never knew, Alexander!"
"I just can't–" Alex got up, muttering something. "Um, thanks, Lily." She walked back to the castle.
Lily grinned to herself appreciatively. She had done it. She had gotten Alex to hate James. Well, maybe. If it worked.
Lily was proud to say her plan worked.
The very next day, news reached out to the school that Alexander Jane broke up with James Potter the night before.
Lily would hear people whispering about all the time.
"Did you hear?"
"…and he didn't even try to stop her!"
"Alex told me–"
"The poor girl was so angry!"
"Of course, she would be, Jillian! She realized James just wanted–"
"I saw Alex glaring at Potter all through Herbology!"
"And lunch, too!"
"…..doesn't deserve him, that Potter bloke!"
"Jane is so mad at Potter!"
Lily grinned all through every lesson she ever had. She was proud to think she had gotten Alex out of the James business.
But the thing was, James was quieter over rounds and all their Head duties.
One night, throughout rounds, Lily decided to ask him if he cared.
"Do you care about Alex breaking up with you?"
"Of course I care, Evans! I'm not entirely heartless!"
"So you had more with her?"
"What?"
"You think she was the 'one?' As in the true love of your life?"
"No. I love someone else really."
"Does she love you back?"
"Not in the least."
"You poor bloke."
"I appreciate your sympathy, Evans."
Lily grinned at James' sarcasm. "I appreciate your company too, Potter."
"I'm the one to be with, aren't I, Evans?"
"Sure you are. You sure are giving me the time of my life."
"I wish you mean it."
"Maybe if you weren't such an arrogant selfish prat, I would mean it."
"That's exactly what Alexander called me," James said. "An arrogant, selfish prat."
"Aw, I'm so sorry about that, James."
"I appreciate–DID YOU JUST CALL ME JAMES?" James' eyes went wide.
"Oh, um," Lily was at a loss for words. Why did she do that? More importantly – HOW did she do that?
"I guess I did," she said.
"Can I call you Lily?" James grinned.
"Well, I guess," Lily shrugged. "I've gotten bored of the Evans thing."
"This is a historical moment!" James grinned wider. "Someone put this in the history books! Lily Evans and James Potter are actually being a bit civil!"
Lily rolled her eyes. "Right," she said. "I'll put it in the history books of the next generation. Or the next. Or the hundredth generation after this."
"Great idea, Lily," James said.
Lily sighed and face-palmed.
