Chapter 4
The next day, Lily woke early. She got up, dressed, and put on her school uniform. Then she went and sat in her common room. She took her purple journal with her.
Dear Diary,
I've haven't written in a while...The past week has been...eventful. Potter, who has never noticed me before, is now bugging the hell out of me. Thankfully, he hasn't done something like ask me out.
He's cute and all, but he's not my type. You know? He's stuck up, arrogant, and a prat. He's also an airhead. I mean, who plays pranks on people for no reason. Okay, so most of the Slytherins deserved it, but still. The poor little first years didn't.
It's kind of early. I wonder if Amanda and Jasmine are up...They'd be in here looking for me if they were. I hope James doesn't get up any time soon. I kind of like the quiet. I haven't heard from my parents in a while...I wonder if they're okay.
OH SHIT! Potter is up. Gotta go.
-Lily
"Good morning, Evans."
"Potter."
"What's that?" James asked, pointing to the book.
"Nothing."
"Is it a Diary?"
"No." Lily said.
"Is there anything about me in there?" James asked reaching for it.
"NO!" Lily shrieked, grabbed the book and running to her room.
James sighed and left the common room. Another day of school.
-----------
Lily sat in her room, angry.
What the hell does he think he's doing? He has NO right to read my diary. None at all. He's such a stuck up, concieted, arrogant, air-headed prat.
You like him though.
What am I saying? No I don't.
Yes I do.
NO!
Yes... His hair is awesome, his smile is adorable, and he likes me.
No, I don't like him. I can't. He'll just break my heart. I know it.
No he won't. Just trust him.
I can't.
You can. You just don't want to.
Fine. I DON'T WANT TO!
Fine. I'll leave you in denial. For now.
Good. Leave. I hope you never come back.
I'll be back...eventually.
A knock on her door pulled Lily from her thoughts.
"Come in!" she called. Jasmine and Amanda entered her room.
"Yeah?" Lily asked.
"Are you coming down to breakfast or what?" Amanda asked.
Lily looked at her watch."Oh, crap! Let's go."
They ran down to the Great Hall and ate quickly.
The bell rang, and they raced off to Potions.
When they got there, Lily sat down next to Amanda, while Jasmine went over and sat next to Remus.
"Aw. They look so cute together." Amanda said.
"I know." Lily agreed.
"You know who would look even cuter together?"
"Who?"
"You and James." Amanda said.
"NO WAY!" Lily shouted.
"Oh come on. You know you would."
"I don't care if we would or not, it's not going to happen." Lily said.
"You'd still look cute together."
"Can we get off this subject?"
"Fine." Amanda said.
Professor Slughorn called the class to order. He said that they would be working on Wisher's Potion. If you drank some, and wished, your wish would come true.
Lily and Amanda worked together, while Jasmine worked with Remus.
When the bell rang for lunch, the three girls walked up together. They looked out a window and saw snow.
"Christmas is coming!" Lily said, twirling in circles.
"Guess who I'm going with to Hogsmede this weekend?" Jasmine asked.
"Hmmm...Remus?" Lily teased.
"Yes! He asked me during potions. I could tell he was nervous though..." Jasmine said.
"Of course he was nervous. Any guy who asks you out will be nervous." Amanda said.
"Shut up."
"No thanks." Lily said."I wish I had a date to Hogsmede..."
"You would if you'd say yes to me." James said, coming up behind them.
"Not you again. Besides, don't you have a girlfriend?" Lily asked.
"Not anymore..." James said."She broke up with me."
"Why?" Jasmine asked.
"She doesn't like the fact that I hang out with Lily and chase after her..." James said.
"Who would?" Amanda asked. James shrugged.
"Come on Lily. Go to Hogsmede with me." he pestered.
Lily thought about it.
"Okay." she said finally, surprising even herself.
"YES!" James shouted. He ran off to find Sirius and Remus.
"I shouldn't have said yes." Lily groaned.
"Yes you should! And you did! Finally!" Amanda shouted. She started towards the Great Hall again, Lily and Jasmine following.
