Chapter 176 2nd suitor
As soon as he heard this name, Sirius then raised his hand and slapped James on the back of the head fiercely, as punishment for calling him “Little Claw”.
Everyone knows that Sirius hates the nickname because it makes him sound like an elf.
“Hey!” James exclaimed, raising a hand and rubbing vigorously over his head.
Apparently his scream caught Lily’s eye, but he wasn’t sure if it was a good thing.
When he found out she was looking at him, he immediately began to brush his hair suavely, as if he had been doing it all the time, and threw her what he thought was his most charming smile.
However, the slight concern in Lily’s eyes a moment earlier vanished at the sight of his actions, and she quickly turned back to rejoin the conversation with her friends, continuing to ignore him.
James pouted again angrily: “Why are you abusing me every time she looks at me?” He sighed and continued to touch his head again, which still hurts.
“Abusive?” Sirius repeated suspiciously, then paused, shrugged, and waved his hands. “Anyway, you should thank me. I swear I saw Lily’s eyes just now. Can I say that?” I care about you.”
Hearing this, James immediately cheered up and glanced at his sweetheart again, his eyes glittering with hope.
His eyes brightened again, and he said with a smile, “Let’s change our minds. Maybe you should abuse me more, Bigfoot.”
The little Sirius rolled his eyes and murmured, “Believe me, I really want to do this, fork, but I don’t want to risk being stunned by Lily. Professor’s idea.”
James nodded in agreement.
Not long after the fourth year, he saw her wand and fist against a group of Slytherins who were bullying Gryffindor first-year students.
Even assuming he hadn’t been fascinated by her at the time, he would have fallen in love without hesitation when he saw her punch that punch.
Even now, when he rested his chin on his palm and stared at Lily with dazed eyes as he recalled the scene, he still sighed like a girl.
Lupin kicked him from under the table and said, “Wake up, prongs. You’ll freak her out like that.”
James snapped back to his senses after being kicked, and was opening his mouth to respond when Peter said, “Oh, Lily is here.”
Although, in fact, considering his mouth is stuffed with French toast – at least he could have something with maple syrup, it sounds more like it.
“Oh, Nini Gunara.”
Fortunately, after four years of friendship, all the predators were proficient in Peter’s various dining languages and immediately understood what he was trying to say.
James’ head jerked up, almost as if someone had been whipped.
Quickly turning his head to the hall door, his freshly restored bright eyes became more pleasant when he saw Lily Evans walking in front of her usual group of friends.
Lupin sighed and tried to eat faster, not sure if he really wanted to stay and listen to Jaime’s chatter–just seeing Jaime’s reaction to his latest love poem.
Peter is now fully aware of what’s coming, and he’s ingested enough sugar, that he lifts his head off the plate and proceeds to gulpe down the French toast eagerly.
“Ah, just in time.” James smiled smugly, no doubt referring to the group of owls that delivered the morning’s letter, which would arrive any moment now.
More students crowded into the auditorium, and now there was a throng of people around, and the silverware was clinking.
The four predators watched as Lily walked to a long table for a girl and sat down, her three roommates huddled around her.
Three of her roommates, James knew their names because they were all in the same grade, and one of them was technically his relative, and they were laughing at something.
Lily sat down and made herself a cup of tea and got some sliced fruit.
Her seat is facing him, which is good, because it means he can better observe her reactions.
Across from him, Lupin said dryly, “You’re staring at her.”
James barely blinked. “Of course I’m watching. I don’t want to miss anything.”
Sirius sneered and said slowly: “The trustworthy hasn’t been delivered yet. Are you sure you’re not staring at her because you think she’s dead beautiful?”
Remus chuckled lightly.
Peter looked a little uncomfortable.
Sirius continued to smirk.
James rolled his eyes speechlessly, “I think I should die first,” he told them sarcastically.
Sirius suddenly laughed.
“Ah, well said!”
Sirius admits, and he’s willing to admit, that James does have a surprising response from time to time – more often than not, it’s a blunder.
Lupin shook his head and said, “She’ll be **** if she finds out you’re staring at her like a stalker.”
Who is Lily Evans’ most hated person in the wizarding world?
I believe that many Gryffindor students will turn their attention to James Potter at the first time.
Hearing this, James restrained a little, turned to frown and protested to Lupin in a low voice: “Moonface! I’m not a stalker!”
Lupin glanced at him.
James immediately asked, “How can I be a stalker?”
In hindsight, he shouldn’t have asked.
As usual, Lupin gave the answer almost without thinking.
“You talk about her all the time, you’re always looking for her in class, you’re always trying to make her the target of our pranks, even if it wasn’t the original plan. You write her love poems. Just to make her—”
“Okay, okay, I got it, thank you, you can stop now.” James hugged his head in pain, “You think too much, Moon Face, I really don’t understand how to write a love poem to her. It’s not a good idea.”
“It’s not a good idea because it gets you on fire,” Lupin told him in an almost lighthearted tone, as if it should be common sense, as if to think that James would be an idiot if he didn’t know it.
“You’re in pretentious mode again.” James rolled his eyes, he still felt that writing love poems was a genius idea, especially this time he was more confident, even Reggie gave him guidance, he I really can’t think of any other reason not to impress Lily.
Reggie has always had a good relationship with Lily. Since he said it was no problem, Lily would definitely like it.
Lupin replied calmly, “No, I’m talking about logic.”
“Very well. Since you know everything, please tell me why I’m on fire?”
Lupin raised his eyebrows.
Sirius leaned over, resting his chin on his hand, watching their exchange as if he were watching a Quidditch match.
Peter had stopped eating, too, but stared curiously at his friends, waiting like Sirius to hear Lupin’s answer.
“Did I tell him, or did you tell him?” Lupin asked, and Sirius raised his hands in surrender.
“Oh, don’t, don’t get me involved!”
James’ suspicious eyes wandered between the two, and then he raised his eyebrows: “What bad idea are you two playing behind your back?”
he asked suspiciously, but didn’t seem to really care.
Sirius said with a smirk, “Oh, Merlin’s stinky socks! Fork, you are so worthy of our remarks.”
Normal people can hear that this is not a good thing.
But James is clearly not in the realm of normal people.
Hearing Sirius’ answer, James smiled smugly, brushed off the dust that didn’t exist on the red school robe, picked his nails, and finally shrugged and exaggeratedly said: “Oh, of course I know, after all I’m so charming.”
Sirius held back his laughter, Peter nodded happily, and Lupin rolled his eyes.
“It gets you on fire anyway, because once Lily finds out that those letters were done with Reggie’s help – there are two potential outcomes, both of which work against you.”
James tilted his head when he heard this, and said slowly, “Okay. Suppose she’s smart enough to make the connection—in fact she can’t—and she eventually finds out it’s me—in fact She can’t find out – what are the two possible outcomes, Moon Face?”
Lupin shrugged and explained: “The first result is that she will be very angry, and then frantically fight you, and you will end up in the school hospital for a few weeks.”
Hearing this, James moved uncomfortably in his seat. He could clearly imagine this scene and think of Lily’s points in the duel club.
James nodded, clearly foreseeing this possibility, too: “What’s the second outcome?” As he thought, he raised his coffee cup and took a sip.
Lupin shrugged: “The second result is that she’ll be heartbroken. Because if she knew it was done with Reggie’s help…Anyway, she’d still frantically fight you, and then Take you to the school hospital.”
James stopped and stared at Lupin.
Lupin stared back and waited, and he had to wait a few minutes.
But when James turned his eyes to Sirius, they both laughed, as if Lupin’s words were the funniest thing they had ever heard.
Just a fool, a laughing fool.
“Broken heart?” James laughed wildly, pressing one hand on his stomach, leaning forward with a trembling body.
“To the hospital?” Sirius yelled, his excited elbow nearly spilling the cup of coffee.
James’ laughter stopped and he turned to Sirius, glaring at him.
“Hey! But Moon Face, why did you know it was done with the help of Reggie – Merlin’s smelly socks, why did you still send me to the hospital?!” James was furious.
Maybe the words themselves
Perhaps it was the way he questioned him in anger—that made Sirius laugh again, and even Lupin let out a few chuckles, though he looked a little annoyed because no one took his words to heart.
However, he was not surprised.
Let’s be honest, everyone knows that James and Sirius, two slutty friends, take almost nothing to heart — well, except maybe Lily Evans and the Marauders.
Oh, and Quidditch.
The noise they made was too loud, especially when Lily’s name was mentioned, James was a little loud, causing the people next to him to look at Lily on the other side with gossip eyes from time to time.
“Can you be quiet?” Lily said mockingly from a few seats away from everyone’s eyes, a little annoyed.
As she spoke, she leaned against the table so that she could see them clearly around her friends.
She frowned and said, “We all know that Potter is often hospitalized—you don’t need to say it out loud, like it’s a big secret!”
The predators all turned their heads and stared at Lily with their mouths open, and their laughter died suddenly.
After Lily finished speaking, she rolled her eyes, leaned back, and turned away.
Lupin grabbed his pumpkin juice goblet and nearly smashed it to his mouth to hide his grin.
Peter tilted his head, as if weighing James’ character, looking for some human sparkle in his character to understand the whole conversation more clearly.
Sirius rarely stared at Lily with admiring eyes, and his evaluation of Lily had apparently improved a little after Lily had unknowingly contributed to their favorite hobby, teasing James.
James’ mouth was still open, obviously not expecting her to say such a direct-to-the-point thing, and he didn’t know how to answer for a while.
A eloquent, fearless student, the student who gave all the professors at Hogwarts a headache – James Potter, who only became speechless when facing Miss Lily Evans , with no resistance.
Even Professor McGonagall has heard of this.
His speechlessness pushed Sirius to the brink of collapse again, and he couldn’t help bursting out even more laughter~www.readmtl.com~ He laughed so hard, his face flushed with laughter, even Slytherin couldn’t help glancing at him in that direction, and he couldn’t give them the usual fierce look.
Much to James’ dismay, Lupin was dying, too, and he soon joined Sirius in laughter.
Even Peter giggled a few times, apparently finding the situation really funny.
The fact that he even pushed breakfast away while giggling was a telltale sign.
James started protesting, “Hey, stop laughing! It’s not funny at all!”
But then the arrival of the owl saved him the need for further action, and his friends automatically stopped laughing when they saw the owl.
“Oh, it’s finally here!” James straightened up and looked up as the owl began to unapologetically throw letters and packages at the recipient.
The predators, whose eyes were on Lily’s long table, watched as an owl swooped down and tossed an envelope into Lily Evans’ fruit bowl, but before they could get excited, another owl flew over to give She dropped the second letter.
