Lily is in her third year here.
Lovelorn
I gazed at him across the Great Hall, as he sat with his Ravenclaw friends. He was laughing and eating. My eyes were full of desire.
"Lily!" Marley snapped her fingers in front of my face. I woke from my reverie.
"What?" I asked, irritated.
"Look, sweetie, why do you like him so much?"
"He's so handsome…" I replied dreamily.
"But you don't know what his character is like! He could be really mean."
"How could he? His face is so…"
"Lils, if you like him so much, maybe you should tell him," whispered Vera from across the table. Then a thoughtful expression came into her eyes.
"Or maybe not…no, don't." But my mind was made up. Already I was imagining being held in his strong arms, riding behind him on his broomstick.
"Lily, no!" Vera and Amber said together. But they couldn't stop me. I was too lovelorn to see things as clearly as I usually did. My practicality had vanished when I really needed it. I didn't think about how popular he was, how many girls he had ditched, how much older than me he was, how insignificant I would seem to him. I knew we had a free period after lunch, so I wouldn't be late for a class. Ignoring Marley's following warnings and Amber's head-shakings and Vera's pleading eyes, I got up from my seat and walked across to where he was sitting at the Ravenclaw table, with the rest of the quiditch team which he captained. I walked up to him shyly and tapped his broad shoulder. When he turned around and looked me in the face, I almost melted. He was sooooo cute. I summoned up all my Gryffindor courage and said softly,
"I-I love you, Drake." I was blushing profusely as I said this, and my heart was thumping against my ribcage. He must have heard this line many times from other girls because his reaction was just to smirk.
"You're a pretty little girl," he said. He was so much taller than me that his head was level with mine, even though he was sitting. He slowly leant forward until his lips were touching mine. It was soft and burning at the same time. My heart was in my mouth but I was happy. My first kiss….
