This Is How It All Began

Chapter Two: An Outrageous Confession

3RD PERSON'S POV

James enters the great hall and makes a beeline to the Gryffindor table. But strangely, he doesn't even look at Evans as he strode and plopped in the seat next to Emmeline Vance.

"Oi Emmie."

"Yes James?"

"Do you want to go to hogsmeade with me?"

And there is was, the whole great hall fell into silence.

"Uh, of course James."

But we weren't nearly as shocked as Lily was. "What are you playing at potter?!" She spat. She stalked out of the great hall. I couldn't blame her for doing so, we were all surprised with James' sudden statement.

But Remus, Sirius, and Peter were looking somewhat happy. Why, I have no idea.

"Well done James, looks like you've finally moved on!"

LILY'S POV

It was the evening of another visit to hogsmeade. The on where Emmie and James are going on their date. I was waiting for her right now. Honestly! What was that girl thing when she accepted the brat Potter's she was in love with Tristan Wood for god's sake!

Ah! Speak of the devil!

"There are you Emmie! So how was your date? It was horrible wasn't it?"

"Of course not! On the contrary, I absolutely loved it. James was a perfect gentleman."

I asked, "But Emmie, what about Tristan? I thought that you were going to confess to him?"

She sighed, "I did confess, but he rejected me, horribly. I told James about him. He was so understanding. I have no idea why you refused his offer. Look, he even bought me a charm bracelet."

After about an hour of listening to Emmie blabbering about her date, I started to lose my temper. I could anger boiling inside of me and I know it wasn't a controlled emotion.

Arrgh!! Why am I getting angry over Potter? This is Potter we're talking about here, an immature, mischief making, four-eyed, attractive prat. Wait, why did I add attractive in that description? Anyways, I've gotta keep an indifferent face, I can't let Emmie notice that I'm jealous after all.

But, when she got to the part of when she put her face undeniably close to Potter's. I lost it.

"Oh shut up Emmie! I'm done with you gabbing about your date!"

"Oh! Looks like someone is jealous!"

uh oh, she found out. Why couldn't I control myself. I've gotta convince her that i'm not

"No, I'm not."

"Wow Lily, nice comeback, really nice, that'll totally convince her.", my brain said to me.

Shut up brain.

A sly smile was playing at her lips as she said, "Well, well, look what we have here, Miss brainiac likes marauder!"

Crap, I didn't have a snarky comment for that one.

3RD PERSON'S POV

Oh look, Satan himself has arrived. Potter and Sirius come sneaking into the common room, slowly creeping behind Lily and Emmeline, who were seated on the couch. it looked like he had some tricksters in his hands, probably got kit at hogsmeade today. The two girls, still intent in their conversation, (Who knows what their talking about.) hardly noticed the two devils right behind them.

Lily had really good intuition, I'll give you that. As though on cue she turned around to see her best mate's hair turn a freakish hue of red. (And it's a color that i haven't even seen before.) I can see James and Sirius air high-fiving each other, and the priceless look on Evan's face. Finally, they both turn around and casually walk back to their dorms as though nothing happened.

JAMES' POV

Man, i can't believe everyone actually thinks me and Emmie are a real couple. Well, I guess I can't blame them after I 'confessed' in front of everyone in the great hall today. However, no matter what happens, i would always see Emmie as a little sister. I couldn't possibly imagine the two of us together, and I know she couldn't either. And on that 'date' of ours, we discussed our problems, mine with Lily and hers with Tristan. But while we're still on the topic of Tristan, what the hell is wrong with him! Why, for god's sake, would he reject Emmie so harshly! This calls for revenge...
