How To Be A Heartbreaker | James Potter [COMPLETED]

Chapter Four: Snivellus' Revenge

"Ugh, she's such a little goody-two-shoes. Why does she keep acting like nothing she does is wrong," said Alice, stabbing her fork in her meat glaring at it. Sapphire, who was sitting next to Alice, snickered and pointed her fork towards Marlene McKinnon. Marlene, as Sapphire suspected, was.

"You know she'll do the honors of being my first prank and now want to prank her even more. Thanks to you, of course, my dearest Alice," she said, taking a sip of pumpkin juice. Alice giggled evilly and nodded.

"I want your evilest prank. I want her humiliated in front of bloody everyone. " Rubbing her hands together, Alice smiled maliciously and in that exact moment, Sapphire knew they'd get along extremely well.

"Sometimes I wonder why I'm friends with you guys and then remember just how evil you are " Sapphire chuckled, finishing her food. She felt eyes on her and looked up, locking eyes with the same black-haired boy. She smirked, raising an eyebrow at him, and he blushed. " Anyway, I heard there was a Quidditch team."

"You play?"

"God, no. I couldn't fly on a broom even if I actually put effort into it. I just like doing the commentary, I used to do them in Beauxbatons," said Sapphire, smiling. She took her DADA book out of her bag. Flipping some pages, then huffing, then putting it back in the bag.

It had already been four days since the Snape Incident, and Sapphire was slowly adapting to Hogwarts. She already had a favorite subject — though she wouldn't tell anybody, and it was Transfiguration with McGonagall. As promised. Sapphire kept her jokes in Minnie's class to a minimum, that didn't mean she didn't enjoy joking around. Surprisingly enough, Alice was no shy fly either. Most of the time, she would laugh or start the jokes, pile on after Sapphire started. Alice was a great friend, absolutely hilarious, and Sapphire already felt like she could tell her anything Alice was a pretty brunette with a killer smile and she had a major crush on Frank Longbottom, so you can imagine her fury when Marlene McKinnon her so-called friend, was shamelessly flirting with Longbottom

Lily, on the other hand, was waking up with a smile on her face nearly every day ever since her fight with Potter. For once, she was so happy she had yelled at him. She was so happy he got the message through his brain. A part of her wanted to feel guilty for screaming at him, but, frankly, she had had more than enough. When he had asked her out in the third year for the first time, she blushed hard and declined his offer. She had heard about his reputation and did not want to be mixed with him and his crowd. She had seen all the people he bullied, whether it was the first years or people of his year. She had been disgusted by how he and his friends treated people and promised herself to never be involved with him. Lily was tormented by him every day for two consecutive years, letters during the summer, bits of parchment thrown at her in classes, James fighting every male who talked to her, bullying Severus, who was once her friend. Oh. Severus. Lily didn't know what to feel about him anymore. At first, it was nice to have a male friend who wasn't arrogant or sarcastic or full of himself, but as the days rolled on, she had started to notice his change of behavior. Like how she ruffled his hair, which did not suit him, when he was around her, or how he made sure to look her in the eye every time she talked. Lily thought it was out of nervousness, but it was getting agonizingly uncomfortable.

She liked Severus, he was a friend, but she did not have any choice but let him go when she knew he fancied her. She didn't want to break his heart, she didn't want to look him in the eye when she told him she didn't reciprocate his feelings and she thought it would be better if they didn't speak to each other anymore. But yet, that's exactly what she did. She felt bad, it was normal, but she tried not to think about being the heartbreaker. Lily finally found some calm and peace, and she did not regret telling Potter off in a more fierce way.
