Yay, another chapter! This one is probably one of my favorites, yet I love all of them :) Enjoy, and please REVIEW afterward!
Lily didn't realize just how addicted to his love she was, until he stopped paying her constant attention. Instead of flirting with her, he had moved his affections to another girl, a Ravenclaw with long, honey blonde hair and twinkling blue eyes. Apart from these obvious differences, this girl also seemed pleased with James's attention, the exact opposite that Lily was, or, at least, thought she was.
Lily looked down the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall, her eyes instinctively searching out Potter. He was twisted around in his seat, looking behind him, winking at the Ravenclaw girl, who seemed, at a glance, to be giggling and waving back at him.
Lily felt an extraordinary sense of jealousy build up inside of her, threatening to explode. She didn't even know where it was coming from, but she knew that if she watched that girl and her sickeningly sweet smile for a moment longer, she possibly would explode.
So she got to her feet, abandoning her full plate, and strode towards the door, robes billowing dramatically behind her. As she passed James, she treated him with a cold glare, and he stared back, bewildered, but Lily only saw his face for a second before she was out of the Great Hall and storming up the moving staircases to the Gryffindor common room.
As she walked, Lily felt hot tears well up in her eyes, and she furiously brushed them away. Since when had James become like a drug to her? Since when had she needed his constant flirting and teasing to survive? As she crawled through into the common room, she realized that she could never stand to see him with anyone else but herself, yet she didn't want to be with him at the same time. He was so arrogant.
She flopped down on a couch and glared into the fire, arms folded over her chest. She hadn't realized just how addicted to him she was.
