James wasn't stupid. But he was beyond confused.
" he left." He mumbled, unintelligible to anyone else while tapping his pen on his notebook.
It was one of those rare days where he had a class in the morning so he was sitting in the back while his teacher droned on.
" oh. You actually came."
James turned his head towards the source of the laugh and saw Lily with a big smile standing by him.
She took a seat next to him and opened the textbook James had thrown out barely a month into classes.
" How've you been?" Lily asked and James shrugged.
" Decent. You?"
" Good." Lily said simply and James nodded.
There wasn't much conversation to make, James had his own thoughts to sift through and Lily was focused on taking notes.
But then a thought occured and he turned to Lily.
" Hey Evans?"
" Hm?" Lily hummed and James struggled to word the question right.
" you know how me and Severus...."
" Are dating? Yeah of course."
" And you're his..."
" best friend? Yeah i know."
" So do you...."
" Potter are you gonna tell me or are you gonna make me keep guessing?" Lily finally turned to him in frustration.
" I think you just got stuck."
" You're about to ask what he thinks of you. Nice try Potter but i'm a very smart person." She tapped her temple and James scrambled to lean forward.
" so."
" so?" Lily feigned ignorance and James pursed his lips.
" his thoughts about me?"
" hm." She said and her eyebrows did a weird thing.
What was that weird thing? It was like a very slight quirk.
" what was that?"
" what?"
" you did a thing."
" I didn't say anything."
" you didn't have to cuz you did a thing."
James gestured at Lily's eyebrows and she just swat his hand down.
" that wasn't a thing im just..."
" just?"
" contemplating." She shrugged.
James rolled his eyes and sighed.
" yeah same."
" whats up with you. You never care about what others think." She changed the subject which made James roll his eyes.
" If i didn't care about what others think, would i have dragged Severus into a weird dating scheme?" He said and Lily shrugged.
" Touché."
James sighed and slumped back on his chair.
Lily noticed his incredibly sour mood and finally gave in, turning to face him.
" Severus thinks you're cute. He likes your hair and your stupid abs." Lily said and James' eyebrows raised.
" He does?"
