A Little Bet
Chapter Seven: Library
As the next day came to a beginning, it came to realization to James and Sirius that it was the last day until vacation, which brightened their spirits a bit up.
"Atleast we won't see girls at my house, except my mum." said James to Sirius, who were on good terms now, as they walked to breakfast together.
"Hear Hear." said Sirius nodding gratefully as they took seats.
The usual Owl Post of hundreds of owls came swooping in, of final christmas news and such. The Potter's owl landed gracefully right on James's shoulder, nipping his ear as James untied the letter. "Thanks, Chip." as the owl took a bite of toast and flew away.
"What does it say?" asked Sirius, looking over his shoulder
Dear James,
Last minute, we are going to America to visit your Great Uncle Boris and Great Aunt Heini, I know you hate them and don't want to go, so your staying at Hogwarts for Christmas.
Love,
Mum
"Were staying here." said James bitterly. "For CHRISTMAS!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" shrieked Sirius, falling off the bench and onto the ground, his arms over his head.
Everyone was silent, staring at him.
"Mr. Black." said a stern voice. "I think I, and the rest of the school, has recieved enough outbursts from you to last a lifetime." Mcgongall was passing him.
Sirius didn't reply, but stayed on the ground for a few more minutes, and than took his seat sulking
"How are we going to get through this?" said James angrily, Remus and Peter came to join them.
"Through what?" asked Peter
James took his mum's letter and handed it to his other friends. They read it and Peter frowned, Remus looked a little sorry for them.
"On the bright side, Were staying." offered Remus.
They sighed.
"And most of the girls will be gone."
"Watch Lily stay here."
"Watch all the hot girls stay here."
-------
It was their free period and Remus, Sirius and Peter ran off without him to the Gryffindor Common Room, He was shuffling his feet slowly after them, wanting to take his time. When someone tapped his shoulder.
The beautiful Lily Evans stood there, of all his luck.
"Hi, Lily."
"Hi."
"Listen." added Lily. "Can you help me with that..um...Transfiguration Essay? It's due next period..."
"Yeah." said James automatically, motioning her to follow him to the library.
------
Sirius was sitting in the Gryffindor Common Room with Remus and Peter, Remus was tutoring Peter on Summoning Charms he just couldn't get the hang of and Sirius was staring at the ceiling boredly.
Ten minutes past and Sirius said. "I'm going to the library."
"What?" gasped Remus, Sirius never went to the library unless he dragged him there.
"Yeah." said Sirius sighing, getting up and heading out the potrait hole, leaving a stunned Peter and Remus
------
Transfiguration was James's best subject, and he was often asked for help, but Lily never asked for help before to James.
James often offered, but Lily never accepted. But, why did she ask James?
However, James wasn't thinking of that just yet, He was trying with all his might not to ask Lily out or flirt with her.
James explained The Laws of Transfiguration and all that, when a thought struck him. Lily could have got this all from a book.
"Lily." started James curiously.
"Yeah?"
James just grinned. "You could have got this all from a book, correct?"
Lily didn't reply.
"Lily?"
No reply
"Lily...?"
Still no reply
"Oh...Lily?"
"Yes." answered Lily quietly. "I could have got it all from a book."
------
Sirius saw Lily and James at a table in the back, and he smirked. If he could just get James to cave, The bet would be over...
However, should he do this to his best friend? The person who was with him since day one? The guy who helped him through his rough times and was there with his good times? No admitted Sirius in his head.
Why should he cave though? It's not fair that I had to walk around in a bikini of James's choice when he laughed about it. Nope.
So what was the obvious choice? And than, it hit him like a Bludger.
-------
James stared at her. "Why did you come to me?"
"Does it matter?" snapped Lily.
"I'm just curious." James quickly said.
Lily glared. "Well, I'm curious about alot of things too, Potter." She said, using his surname which made James sad. They were getting along so well...
"Like what?"
"Why are you acting so weird?"
"I can't tell you." said James quietly.
"So why should I tell you?" asked Lily.
-------
Sirius walked to the direction of James and Lily, they were looking angry, or rather, Lily was. Did James cave?
"Pro-James." said Sirius.
James slowly turned his head towards his best mate. "What?"
"I need to talk to you." said Sirius quickly.
James nodded, and Lily was getting up to leave.
"NO!" shouted Sirius, making Lily's things fly and James jump. "Sorry, just, stay here, Lily."
Lily glared at him.
Sirius dragged James off.
"Did you cave?"
"No, did you?"
"No."
"So thats it?" muttered James.
"No. I have an idea, we should cave together."
"Why?"
"So." said Sirius like it was obvious. "We lose together."
James sighed.
"Alright."
"So, who are you going to cave on?"
"I don't need a girl. We can just talk about the bet to Evans."
"Right." said James running a hand through his messy jet black hair. "But, Here comes Hansin..."
Sirius beamed. "OK. One two three." muttered Sirius.
They ran off.
"Hi Gorgeous." said James beaming and kissed her on the mouth.
Lily blinked a few times. "What the heck?"
-----
Emily was sitting down her books and Sirius ran up and just kissed her, letting go five minutes later and saying. "Damn, I missed that."
