You'll Never Be Friends

It had only been a matter of days since Lily Evans had agreed to try and be friends with James Potter.

She had seen how he had made an effort to change his ways, and she knew it must be genuine or else Professor Dumbledore would not have seen it fit to make the star Chaser Head Boy. As clever as James Potter could be even he could not fool the headmaster.

As she relaxed in the shade of large Beech tree, keeping herself out of the late September sun, she caught sight of the aforementioned boy pushing his best friend in her direction.

It was only a matter of minutes before she was saw Sirius Black approaching her, carrying a bunch of white lilies, muttering something under his breath about how Prongs owed him big time as he came to a standstill in front of her.

"Hey McKinnon, we still on for Friday?" Sirius asked, addressing her best friend who was seated to her right

The other witch nodded her head and with the biggest grin plastered across her face replied, "Of course."

"Great," he answered flashing her, his trademark smile. "Umm, so Lily I actually came over here to talk to you."

Sirius cleared his throat and scratched the back of his head as he turned to Lily.

"You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love till it kills you both." Sirius told her, repeating almost verbatim what James had asked him to say, looking between the Head Boy and Girl, "You'll fight and you'll shag and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends."

Sirius flashed the shocked witch a grin, and then thrust the bouquet of flowers into Lily's arms.

"From James," he muttered before dashing off back to his best friend before she could even think of witty response.

One thing she knew for certain was that she would never allow Sirius' words to become fact. She wouldn't fall in love with James Potter.
