James
As I stood in the shadows of a nearby pillar, the guy put an arm around Lily's shoulders. Who the hell was he?
"James, I need to talk to you." I heard a familiar voice say quietly, just as Lily and the git turned the corner.
I let out a frustrated sigh as I rotated on the spot to face Sirius.
"What's up mate?" I queried, running a hand through my hair to get it out of my eyes. Which was stupid; seeing as it simply flopped back into place like every other time.
Sirius seemed to hesitate before answering me in the same quiet voice.
"It doesn't matter, I'll tell you at dinner." His voice didn't seem angry, so I didn't push the matter further.
Instead I thought back to the bastard who was all over my beautiful Lily.
"Sirius, did you see Lily with anyone just there?" I asked my now silent best friend who now simply stood beside me. Sirius shrugged and shook his head, beginning to walk down the corridor. I followed him, not really caring where we were heading as I tried to remember what the git had looked like.
He had been a Ravenclaw…That really narrowed it down…And he had brown hair…Didn't we all?
"Do you know any Ravenclaws with brown hair?" I questioned Sirius as he walked in front of me.
He turned round to look at me, a puzzled and curious expression on his face.
"Yeah, course I do, why?" He smiled, stopping in his footsteps as he saw me deep in thought.
"No reason…" I mumbled, not wanting to reveal the secret to him just yet. I mean, he might not be over Lily yet for all I know. He might be regretting ever being with Tasha as well…
"Sirius regretting sleeping with Tasha?" My mind scoffed, "Yeah, because Sirius always did have a guilty conscience."
At this my mind let out an amused snort before I told it to be quiet.
"Do you still like Lily?" I asked, my throat slightly dry as I blurted this out without particular thought.
"It's alright James, mate, I know…" Sirius sighed in reply, causing my head to snap up.
"What do you mean?" I queried cautiously, picking my words carefully as I watched his expression like a hawk.
"I know you like Lily…It's alright." He told me, raising an eyebrow as if seeing me visibly squirm…which was precisely what I was doing.
I swallowed hard and began clearing my throat, doing anything that would postpone me having to answer him.
"James…" He sighed, knowing full-well what I was doing.
I watched the ceiling so as to not have to look at him and noticed a crack which I hadn't seen there before. Not that I walked around staring at the ceiling all the time. That would just be weird, which is why I didn't do it. Going round looking at ceilings I mean. Which probably was the reason why I hadn't noticed the crack in the first place.
"James?"
I bet there were cracks all over the ceilings of Hogwarts, not that that was a huge deal or anything, I mean, who cares if there are cracks in the walls or whatever? At least they were able to be fixed easily…I mean, Dumbledore is the greatest wizard in the world! I'm pretty sure he can fix a few cracks in ceilings…Not that he would have to do it, I'm sure someone else could try and-
"James?!"
I snapped out of my daydream as Sirius shouted my name, taking hold of my shoulders and shaking them roughly.
I met his gaze, having completely forgotten what we had previously been talking about.
"I know you like Lily. And I know she likes you back. So stop going off into Jamesyworld and pay attention mate." Sirius snapped, making me remember exactly what we had been talking about before the ceiling had interrupted my thoughts.
"So am I right?" he asked me with both eyebrows now raised.
"Do you know a spell which mends cracks in ceilings?" I queried in reply, my gaze straying back to what it had been staring at moments before.
"James…" Sirius said in a warning tone.
"Oh alright," I sighed, "I'm in love with your ex."
There was a moment of silence as Sirius stared at me.
"You're what?!"
Sirius
James was in love with Lily…
Lily was in love with James…
Maybe James was just exaggerating, I mean, this is like the time he was obsessed with some muggle cartoon he had seen when in London. For hours on end he had told Remus, Peter and I how much he loved it. But by the time it had been cancelled because of too many low views James had claimed that he had always hated the thing.
"Yeah," My mind began to mutter, "Because James loving a cartoon and James loving Lily really is theexact same thing…" It finished sarcastically, just as we sat down for dinner.
Dumbledore made only one announcement before we all began to eat, and that was to announce that the third year Hogsmeade trip had been cancelled (causing a huge outburst of anger to erupt around the Great Hall) and then the food appeared on our plates and the usual chatter surrounded the hall.
I glanced at James as I continued to reply what he had said to me earlier, but I paused after seeing his stony expression.
"What's wrong?" I asked him curiously, following his gaze and seeing that he was staring at the Ravenclaw table.
"That's him…The git who was all over my Lily…" He told me, keeping his voice low.
I looked to where he was pointing and saw who he meant.
"That's Edward, the slimy git who hits on every girl he sees." I commented, turning back to my food and beginning to eat.
"Yeah, well, he's hitting on my girl. And I'm gonna fucking let him…" James murmured in reply, making sure that he wasn't overheard by any passing Ravenclaws.
"What are you going to do?" I queried, looking back up at him.
"Well…I'm…I'm gonna…I'm gonna beat him up! That's what I'm gonna do!" He announced, getting a few looks from Gryffindors who were sitting next to us.
"Well good luck, he's about a foot taller than you." I snorted, beginning to laugh at the thought of James trying to fight Ed.
"Shut up Sirius."
Lily
I glanced over at the Ravenclaw table, my gaze trying to find Edward. As our gazes met I smiled brightly at him, before turning back to the conversation raging between Celine, Jess and me.
"Eurgh! Are you kidding? You'd pick Malfoy over Snape? At least Severus doesn't try to be a smartass, he just is one." Celine laughed, shaking her head as she ate a forkful of chicken.
"At least Malfoy doesn't have grease dripping off his hair, even though he is still a complete slimeball." Jess retorted with a grin.
"We're never going to get anywhere with this. Lily, just pick one. Severus…or Lucius?" Celine sighed, turning to me for an answer. I wasn't listening though, instead my gaze and thoughts were still stuck on one messy haired Gryffindor boy who sat near the end of the table as if miles away from me.
I continued to watch him as he sat with Sirius, the two of them laughing together like before this whole mess started…
Maybe James had tried talking to me in Potions to tell me that he didn't like me anymore and simply wanted to be Sirius' friend…
I couldn't blame, he and Sirius had been friends since the beginning. Why would he choose a girl over that?
Especially when that girl was Lily Evans. Just Lily. Lily pathetically-in-love-and-probably-always-will-be-like-the-sad-loner-she-is Evans…
Wow that was depressing…
"Oh no…She's doing that thinking thing again, everyone run for cover!" Celine joked, having finished her food and watched me as I thought of and gazed at James Never-gonna-be-in-love-with-me-until-we're-dead Potter.
"Shut up," I grinned, hitting her lightly on the shoulder before returning to my now cold steak.
"So, Miss Evans, who is the lucky guy who you are currently thinking about? Could it be the most obvious Lover Number One- James Harry Potter? Or possibly Lover-Number-Two, the one and only, newly entered, sex god Edward…Something?" She continued, an amused grin on her face as Jess laughed along beside her.
"I wouldn't call Edward a lover, more like a friend and just a friend." I corrected her. Celine tapped the side of her nose as she continued to grin at me.
"So who would you pick? James or Eddy?" Jess asked, rather loudly actually.
I turned to look at her, but my gaze caught someone else's and I found myself falling into two very familiar eyes. I gritted my teeth and forced my feelings for him aside.
"Are you kidding me? Potter or Edward? I'm surprised you need to ask. Edward any day."
Take that James Potter…And then give back my heart which you took so long ago…
R/R Please! I hope you liked it! And thanks for reading! xxxNoemiexxx Sorry about any mistakes!
