Chapter 3
James POV
I walked into the Great Hall, happy about the successful prank last night. I walked over to where the other Marauders were, Sirius smirking, and Peter eating. I didn't see Remus, though.
"Prongs, you have to see this!" he laughed, and gestured to the end of the table where Lily usually sat. There she was. With Remus! He told her something and she laughed, kissing him on the cheek. I stood up, furious. I thought Sirius knew I liked Lily.
"WHY WOULD I NEED TO SEE THAT?" I yelled. I could tell everyone was looking, but I didn't care.
Sirius looked at me. " I thought you would be happy for Moony! It's only a little crush!"
"A LITTLE CRUSH! A! LITTLE! CRUSH!" I yelled, and ran all the way to the Quidditch pitch.
I stopped just outside the place where we kept our brooms. I grabbed mine then, a shining Cleansweep 13, brand new, and I jumped on it, grabbing the nearest Quaffle. The wind raced through my hair as I zipped to the goal and angrily through the Quaffle. It hit the rim if the goal and bounced off, nearly hitting my face.
"Poor Quaffle, what did it ever do to you?"I turned around to see Lily Evans looking up at me.
Lily POV
Here I was, standing on the Quidditch pitch, cold and starving, just to console Potter. Of all people!
"The Quaffle dated someone else!" he replied.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing." he turned around.
" I know this is about Remus and I."
He turned around, facing me. "You knew about that?"
"Gryffindor knows! You yelled in front of everyone!"
"I might of yelled.. a bit."
"Why do you care so much? We are basically mortal enemies!"
He looked up at me, his hazel eyes looking into mine. James looked at the ground, looking hurt and ran away. "James!" I called, and when it didn't work, I walked back to Gryffindor.
"Weird!" Molly said, after I told her what happened.
"I know! I haven't seen him anywhere!"
The Marauders swaggered in, James walking up to the boys dorm, and Remus coming toward me.
"Hey sweetie!" he smiled.
I went over to him and sat in his lap, giving him a quick kiss.
"To much romance! I'm out!" Molly yelled and left.
Molly POV
I strode over to the Quidditch pitch, my favourite place for a private meeting. Yes, that's right. I have a life.
"Hey!" Arthur yelled from the opposite edge of the pitch. I ran over and enveloped him in a tackle hug.
"I missed you!" I said.
He kissed me on my head.
"Then why don't we meet IN PUBLIC?" he asked.
"How many times do I have to tell you? Lily thinks you are annoying. You're always pestering her about Muggles!"
"I'm fascinated by them!"
I sighed. "Yes, yes you are. I wouldn't change you any bit!"
Then we were kissing. The slightest romantic thing set it off.
"ARTHUR!" someone yelled from inside.
"I have to go," he said.
"Aww! We only got a minute!"
He kissed me on the cheek and left, leaving my heart to sigh. We never got to meet anywhere, or anytime. I walked back to Hogwarts, staring at the ground. Grass, grass, note, grass. Wait. Note? I picked it up, my nosy side taking over. It read,
Lily, I... Love... You.
-Potter.
What?! I have to hide this! BURN IT! I know Potter. If he gets Lily, he will lead her on, and stomp on her heart. I couldn't let that happen.
