Great Merlin.

I walk into the great hall with James not to far behind. The walk to the great hall seemed to last ages, in the meanwhile, James and I had some fun, talking and...well... basically, James was playing with my hair. 

Well like I was saying I walk into the lunch hall, and immediately pull away from James. Literally the whole hall is staring at us and whispering. James leans down to my ear, and cautiously whispers into it. "Lily, is something wrong? Everyone's staring at us." Without turning around I whisper back. "I don't know, but let's try not attract anymore attention by doing something stupid." Obviously right after saying that, I tripped over my own feet and actually fell on James. My cheeks burned as James helped me up.

We start walking towards the Gryffindor table, and my eyes automatically meet Emma's. She stare's at me for a few seconds, like she's planning my death. Then turns to Grace. They whisper for a few seconds, and then look at James, who is now standing a few feet behind me.

James take's a seat, and I sit next to him, still watching Grace and Emma. James looked across the table, his eyes meeting Black's. Even Black was eyeing him suspiciously.  I looked back at Emma, she sat there for a few seconds, like she might say something, but she then stood up, and walked out, all the while whispering to Grace.

Whether James was paying attention or not, I don't know, but as soon as they left, he spoke. "Still lost with them?" I turned. "Well, we never really got to talk you know." I said, taking a spoon of spaghetti, (my second favorite to rice) and fiddling with it.

I was trying to think of a way to talk to them when I felt a strong hand on mine. I immediately turned towards James. He leaned "It'll work out." He whispered, and then almost as though nothing had happened, he turned and took a big sip of juice from his glass.

I stared at him. He really is a lot more than I thought he was.

I looked around. at least all those people had stopped staring. I really want to know what that was all about. When I finished eating James spoke. " Unfortunately, for the next period, we'll have separate. So i'll be on my way. See you round though." He smiled warmly as he got up, and walked out of the hall.

"See you round." I said. But he had left by then so it was mostly to myself.

It's the end of the day, and I just can't take it anymore. The whole school is in on this "big secret" that everyone somehow knows about but me. 

People just won't stop staring at me.

I walk up the stairs and into the girls dormitory.

Immediately, I see Carrie and Sunders  standing together, and they're  the only one's in the room. I decide to ignore them, but apparently they had other plans for me because soon enough,, Saunders starts talking. "Hey Lilly, spending and awful lot of time with James lately. Are you sure it's only official work that goes on between you two?" I turn around to see Saunders walking towards me, and I step in front. I'm not going to sit back and listen to her and whatever pointlessly degrading thing about me that she just has to say. I've had enough that from everyone today.

"Well you know what Saunders, if you really want to know, why don't you run along ask your boyfriend, not that he'd ever tell someone like you anything personal." I smirked as I tuned around, and went on with my work.
