Lily, If (when) James And Carlotta Break Up Would You Be Willing To Go To James About Your Feelings?

Lily, if (when) James and Carlotta break up would you be willing to go to James about your feelings?

…

I don’t know.

That’s awfully official.

And scary.

And hypothetical.

Ahem.

Lily: when are YOU going to buck up and get yourself a lay... from james potter that is?

Hmmmm, a bit outta my hands, I think.

Sadly.

I didn’t say that. You heard nothing.

Excerpt, Chapter 32

Especially these patrols. This was her third time patrolling with him, and Lily was always left feeling guilty.

He had a girlfriend.

Couldn’t she just… just… forget that she fancied him? Then, spending time with him wouldn’t make her feel like—well, honestly, like the Carlotta to James’s Frank Longbottom.

Damn it all.

Perhaps she’d better steer clear of James Potter for a few days.

Carlotta, how do you plan on dealing with all this Shelley nonsense?

You know when there’s a fly in your room, and it’s really annoying, and it’s buzzing, and you think you just can’t ignore it, but you can’t find it either? 

Well, if you pay attention to something else, eventually, you just tune out its futile, meaningless buzzing. And if it should land anywhere near you, you can smash it with a book.

Hint: Shelley is the fly.

You shouldn't give me this free reign on asking questions. I'll flood your inbox. But this one is to Lily: If you though James loved you back, would it be worth getting him if you break someone else's (Carlotta) heart? Does Carlotta have this coming, since she did it to Alice/Frank first?

Don’t get me wrong–I believe in karma. But I thought it was wrong when Carlotta did it to Alice, and it would be wrong if I did it to her. Is it slightly gratifying that Shelley’s trying to? Yes. Although, it’s much more obnoxious.

Donna Shacklebolt had beautifully angry eyes. Clear and brown—well, not exactly brown… orange-ish, really, almost like amber—they could traverse the distance between burning rage and cold spite in the time between blinks, and there was something fascinating about that.
