Because of A Spider

"He's just so pretty, Marlene," Lily whined.

Marlene smirked. "You've told me."

"But he probably has a girlfriend." Lily said, "How can someone as gorgeous as James not?"

Marlene spun her chair around and faced Lily who was sprawled dramatically on her bed. "Honestly, I don't think he does. If he did, you would have seen her, or at least heard her through the walls."

Lily groaned, "Sure."

Marlene shook her head, "How have you even caught feelings? Have you guys even talked?"

"Of course we have! Well, kind of, we nod at each other in the hallways? Sometimes we even say hi. And, well, it's not like I can help it, but I hear him talking through the walls, so I know him pretty well."

Marlene shook her head again and sighed.

After a while, Lily let out a high pitched squeak, "What if he's gay?"

"Mate, are you alright?"

James gave Sirius an odd look. "Yeah, why?"

"I don't know. You've been off; I just won seven games of chess. I know I'm a genius, but you weren't even trying."

Remus nodded. "I noticed it too; you nearly burnt the cupcakes you were baking. I've never seen you so distracted."

James rolled his eyes. "That doesn't mean anything, it was just a mistake. Everything's fine."

"You sure?" Remus asked, putting down whatever book he was reading.

Sirius watched James with an odd look on his face, before gasping dramatically, "You like someone!"

James raised his eyebrows. "What? Where did that come from? No, I don't." He paused, and gave a little sigh. "Alright, how'd you know."

Sirius smirked with a look of triumph. "Sirius Black always knows."

Remus elbowed Sirius in the gut. "Don't be such a git."

"And you're always distracted from the real world when you have a major crush on someone," Sirius said. "I bet it's that bird in Minnie's class. Smith, right?"

"Smith? No, it's the girl who lives in 609. You know, the flat sharing a wall with my bedroom."

"Wait, the blonde one?" Sirius asked.

Remus shook his head, "No, I think that's just her friend, she doesn't live there. You like the redhead?

James nodded. "That's her. She has really pretty eyes. Emerald green."

"What's her name, again?"

James shrugged. "I never asked."

Lily woke up the next morning and was actually a little excited for the day. Her roommate, Mary, had left to visit her family the day before, which meant she'd have the flat all for herself. Not that she didn't like Mary, in fact she they had become pretty good friends. Lily just needed some peace and quiet for once.

Lily was heading to the washroom, definitely not thinking about her gorgeous neighbour, when she thought she heard someth—

"Hey, babes."

"Holy fuck, Marls." Lily turned to look at Marlene who was casually watching The 100 on the telly.

"Yeah?"

"How the hell did you get in?"

"I stole the extra key." Marlene turned the telly off. "Can you believe they haven't made Bellamy and Clarke kiss yet? I mean, come on, they can't hold off their sexual tension for much longer, it's been there since the first season."
