So much for logical thinking

Sup peeps! Don't get too excited! There is still much more to come! Enjoy!

— Lily's POV —

I was told a new day brought new happiness, but in all truth it only amplified yesterday's unsolved problems. Ugh. Considering I woke up with my face buried deep in James's scarf at 6 in the morning. There was no school for the next two days. That was the good part, very few people would be awake right now, or today at all. For all practical reasons I am praying hard James decides to stay in today.

I pulled on a coat as I walked silently through the room, not wanting to wake up Emma or grace. Saunders and Carrie never made it back last night, probably in some corner of this school with some sad unknown guy.

The common room was a mess. I feel bad for Marley and Wentor, the poor house elves have a lot of work to do. I stepped out into the halls, where the steps were lazily moving. I waited for the right one to stop, and took slow soft steps down towards the great hall.

The morning had a familiar chill, and smell of early dew. (Not to mention James from the scarf still around my neck. Merlin only knows how the smell is still here. It's just here to taunt me.)

The sky was a beautiful array of orange and red, merging into the blue. I aimlessly walked around letting my thoughts take over my head.

Okay Lily, The best way to face this problem is logically, and like a mature young lady so let us take this step by step.

problem number 1.  James Potter fancies me. 

Okay I know it seems like I am jumping to conclusions but I mean come on. He has been asking me out since the fifth year. I always thought it was a joke, but I suppose it is actually true. I mean I could never imagine James Potter ever liking me, but it is what it is. You know what is even worse? Everyone on the face of this earth seems to have known except for me.  

He let me cry on his shoulder. Twice. He gave me the most awesome hair brush ever and he prevented me from failing transfiguration. Lent me his lucky scarf. The bloke even carried me bridal style! I mean how blind am I?! Ouch. I just realised how much heartache I put the sad guy through. I mean he literally wouldn't leave one weekend without asking me out. Ouch. Mates! What nonsense. Stupid Lily. And trust your real mates to tell you. Grace and Emma are really going to get it from me. Well one problem at a time.

But what about that stupid Saunders? If he liked me why was he going out with her? Was he trying make me jealous? It would explain how he thought she was good looking. But then again he thinks I am good looking. On top of that, it is actually working. I'm not going to lie. I am slightly jealous of Saunders right now. They aren't even dating anymore though, thank Merlin. Wait. Did I just say I was jealous of Elizabeth Saunders, and then thank Merlin James Potter is single? What is happening to me?! 

This brings us to our second problem. I fancy James Potter.

No big deal.

Who the heck am I kidding it is the biggest deal ever! I mean I should have seen it coming. Every girl in our grade has had a crush on him if even for a week. I mean there are girls doodling his name all over their books.
