Arcadia , PT. 2

A/N - SORRY OMG FOR TAKING SO LONG BUT HERE U GO!!!

Sad and lonely, the poor girl watches as the entire school gets ready for the upcoming Valentines day. She had heard from one of her closest friends, Andromeda, that this year Hogwarts would have more preparation for the loved holiday.

"I'm surprised you're not with James, you still like him don't you?" Andromeda questions her, taking a bite of her biscuit after. She stares at the girl in front of her, waiting for an answer with raised eyebrows.

The girl sighs and looks back into her tea, trying to formulate a response for her friend. "I don't know Andy, I think he likes Lily Evans. They've been talking a lot this past month. He might as well ask her to be his Valentine!" She pouts, complaining.

Andromeda considers the weight of her words for a mere second, "Well, I've heard that the Rosier, Evan was his name wasn't it? Yes him, he's been glancing at you quite often in the hallways! Why don't you see if you like him?" She turns to look at the girl, waiting for a response.

She however, smiles before responding, "Perhaps. He's been nice to me so I don't see why not? Maybe he'll take my mind off the boy I've liked for almost 4 years." She says. The two girls stand up to put their trash away as they exit the Three Broomsticks.

. . .

I freeze. I was truly stupid to come to the Three Broomsticks without expecting a couple. But, I didn't know that I'd be faced with James Potter accompanied with an annoyed looking Lily Evans. Andy looks at me staring the two down. She grabs my arm and we quickly make our way back into the campus.

"Stay unaffected." She tells me when we walk through the hallways to the library. I smiled at her, entering the library.

My face morphs into one of surprise as I find a now awake Evan Rosier staring back at me, smirking while sitting in one of the many chairs that we have.

My luck just keeps getting better, doesn't it?

Andy smirks, "Well, go to him!" She whispers to me, pushing me towards the man. My face is still stuck in the surprise I had when I first saw him.

"What a pleasure, lovely to see you darling." He says in a nonchalant way, still smirking at my smitten face. I quickly regain myself, patting my hair down.

I stare at him nervously, flashing him one of my smiles. "Can I sit here?" I say, pointing to the seat next to him.

. . .

Evan and I had been getting along for the most part, we had shared mostly similar interests. Currently we were talking about Slughorn’s new project in Potions. “That’s amazing! How long did it take for you to finish the brew?” I asked him. He thinks, trying to remember.

“Erm, I don’t think it took much time! I mean, I did also have Snape as my partner..” He finishes off with a chuckle, adjusting to face me in his chair.

I smile softly at him. “Of course, Snape’s amazing at Potions! I’ve never seen him not make a potion perfectly. Need to ask him his secrets!” I laugh along with him.

Soon, a comfortable silence falls over us as I turn to my homework for Slughorn, writing “The Draught of Living Death” in underlined letters. I continue to finish up my essay and go over it with Rosier, who doesn’t hesitate to help me. We both peacefully look over each other’s essays and homework. Suddenly, we are interrupted by a loud slam against the outside of the library door. I furrowed my eyebrows as I then saw Sirius, Remus, James and Peter emerge through the library’s old wooden doors.

I smile brightly as I look towards them. They however, fail to return my advances as they look confusedly between me and Evan Rosier. “Hello you guys! Come sit with us.” I scan all of them with a smile, faltering my movements when I see James.

“Hey, can I talk to you in private for a second?” The brunette I was staring at asks me, I nod wordlessly as he pulls me out the library.

It had been so much fun, honestly, but if there would be one thing the young girl would change it would be that her friend, James had not brought along a woman that none of the friend group had known fully. "Lily Evans, pleasure to meet you!" She had said to the group, who was awestruck that James Potter, someone who they had thought only had eyes for the girl in the friend group, had thought that Lily Evans out of all people would be a perfect fit inside their tight-knit friend group.

She had been greatly surprised, having known Lily personally, well as personal roommates can get in the Hogwarts experience. Not in a million years would she have ever expected her to go after James Potter. Of all the boys our year, she had chosen someone she described in her own words to be "Egotistical, narcissistic bastard!" So, you could definitely say that she was nothing short of surprised when she saw them talking together at the muggle amusement park, having fun at that!

"So.." she says, trying to break the awkward silence that had fallen within the group.

Sirius is too busy messing around with Peter, and Remus too busy scolding them and trying to avoid the tension between the trio. "Lily and James, how did you two meet? I've never noticed Lily mention your name, not in a good light that is." she chuckles softly, turning to look at them.

James looks at her, a glint in his eyes she could not decipher at the time. Lily notices this and says, "Well, really, he asked me one day if he could get help on the Potions essay that we had assigned to us a while back. I mean, I couldn't say no. He was devilishly handsome!" She smiles at the girl, expecting her to laugh. Although she frowns, remembering that she herself had helped him with the Potions essay, not knowing which one Lily was talking about.

"What do you mean? I think you might be confused.. I remember precisely that I had helped James with the essay, the one about Liquid Luck right?" she goes on to say, confusion running through her words.

Lily's expression now consists of widened eyes and she turns to look at James. "Oh well, Lily must be talking about Transfiguration. Remember, love?" He turns to look at her threateningly.

"Right, yes!" She tells him. The girl sighs and looks at Sirius, Remus and Peter. They've somehow managed to get into a argument with the guy selling popcorn,

"Not even ten minutes have gone by! You guys are so immature. I expected more from you, Moony." She runs towards them, furiously scolding them, and then apologizing to the innocent shop-keeper.

. . .

"James, you can't keep on doing this to her!" Lily tells him, furrowing her eyebrows.

She moves to sit next to him, plopping down on the couch. "Seriously, it is so obvious that she's absolutely insanely in love with you! How hard do I have to get it through your thick skull?!" She pleads to him.

James holds both of Lily's hands in his, "Lily I promise that one day I will. One day I will-" He is cut off as the girl they were talking about walks into the room.

"Oh hey there, what a surprise!" She approaches them in the big red decorated common room.

She soon notices their hands still interlocked and stares at them blankly, "Terribly sorry, I didn't know I was interrupting you two." Her voice remains emotionless, but her mind and heart slowly turn into a thunderstorm.

James stands up, "No it's nothing! You're not interrupting anything!" His pursuits fail though, as she is already out the door before he could even finish his words. Lily comes up behind him and grabs his arms, giving him a look of encouragement.

"See what I mean? You need to tell her soon, otherwise you will lose her."
