Hey all you Fan Fiction readers! Here's a story I've been working on for a couple weeks. I imagine that this takes place around late fall of the Marauder's sixth year.
Disclaimer: I do not own any Harry Potter characters/settings/etc. except my OC. All characters belong to J. K. Rowling, a truly fantastic author.
Lily POV
"Hey, Evans!" James Potter strolled over to where Lily Evans and her best friend, Rebecca Hall, were sitting. Lily turned to Becca and rolled her eyes. "When will he ever stop this?" Becca looked back at Lily and smiled. She nudged her. "Come on, Lil. You know perfectly well that James doesn't bother you that much…" Lily narrowed her eyes, then looked over at James. "What do you want, Potter?" She crossed her arms and scowled. However, James wasn't fazed for a moment. Laughing, he asked, "How does Hogsmeade sound? The next trip is in two weekends!"
"As if I would go with you."
"Lily dear, what's wrong? Are you alright?"
"You pig! Is showing off all you good for?" James just grinned. "Only if it impresses you, Lily dear." At this, Lily stalked off toward the castle, muttering curses under her breath. Instantly, the smile disappeared off of James's face. "Hey, wait! EVANS! I'll stop annoying you! Please?" For a second, just a second, his face was pleading with Lily's. Then, almost as quickly, it was gone and replaced with his usual look of mischief. Lily spun around, then gave James a long, calculating look. She didn't know if he was just joking, but she wasn't going to take any chances. "Well, Potter, the sight of you annoys me. So why don't you head up to the castle instead of me?" For a minute or two, James looked like he didn't know what to do. Then, looking crushed, then slowly walked up to the castle, leaving Sirius, Remus, and Peter by the lake. Right before he went inside, however, he turned back around and pretended to tip a hat, calling "Good day, my fair lady!" Then he was gone.
Becca glared at Lily. Uncomfortably, Lily squirmed under Becca's gaze. "Lily!" Becca was almost screaming. Then, as if she remembered where she was, she whispered, "Go inside and talk to him! You know you fancy him…" Becca smiled. Lily, on the other hand, looked incredibly annoyed. Becca tried again. "He's all alone…" Sighing, Lily stood up, threw an exasperated glance Becca's way, and walked haughtily towards the castle doors.
Becca POV
As soon as Lily left, Becca smiled to herself and started to pack up her bag. However, before she could completely pack up, Sirius walked over. "Does this mean James can stop pining for Lily constantly now?" Becca looked up and smiled. "It should, Sirius. It should. At least, I hope it does…" Sirius laughed, sending shivers down Becca's spine. She packed up, then they walked over to where Remus and Peter were still sitting. "It's good news!" Sirius said. Everyone cheered. Becca sat down and laughed. Soon, they had all made plans to head to Hogsmeade together, whether (this brought a round of laughter shared by everyone) Lily wanted to or not. Later that night, Becca walked back to her dormitory surrounded by laughter and James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter.
