Just To Make Them Jealous
Chapter 5
Unanswered Questions
James sat in Arithmancy staring at the ceiling. He usually was on task and never really daydreamed during Arithmancy but something bothered him. ‘Why was Lily so upset during breakfast this morning? When she got that letter it looked like she was going to cry.’ James thought as he sat there.
James sat and thought about what it could be but he didn’t know that anything could make Lily cry. It just didn’t seem right.
He was sure he only thought about it for only a minute but it soon was the end of the hour and all he thought about was Lily and what could be bothering her.
He gathered his books and headed to Potions in a memory less blur. All he could remember was walking into Potions to find Lily waiting with an empty cauldron next to her. He smiled at her and she smiled back but there was a sort of sadness in her smile as she tucked something into her robe.
‘Probably the letter… I wonder what it says.’ James thought as he walked over and stood next to her. This was another part of their plan. Sirius would be extremely jealous if he saw this and James knew it too. James only hoped their plan worked fast. He needed Amanda. He couldn’t live without her. He was just so empty without her.
James blinked. ‘Empty… did I say that about myself? What is wrong with me?’
"James."
James looked up with a start at Lily. She giggled and gave him a small smile. "We better get started on our potion."
James blinked. "Umm… what are we supposed to be making?"
"A love potion." Lily giggled and James smiled as they started cutting up ingredients.
James leaned over and whispered in her ear. "Ready for part two of our plan?"
Lily smiled. "Of course, James."
James smiled then whispered, "I want you to start giggling… Now!" Lily started giggling as if James had told her the funniest joke in the world.
CRASH! Everyone looked up to see that Sirius had dropped a bottle of pixie blood needed for the potion. He had a look of shock on his face but Lily and James continued with the plan.
Lily leaned over and whispered to James, "Would playing a prank on Sirius help our cause?"
James laughed. "Are you kidding me?" Then he leaned down and whispered, "He would come running back at full speed if you pulled a prank on him."
This sort of thing continued all through potions and by the end, when their test subject, Peter, was chasing after Snape, James picked up Lily’s and his books. He smiled at her and they both walked out together.
The rest of the school day passed in a blur of whispering, laughing, and planning until… that night when they went to the library. "Why are we here again, Lily?"
"Well, one, Amanda comes here to ‘study’ every night…"
"Are you trying to say that she isn’t studying?" asked James.
"I’m just saying look at her grades and tell what you think. Anyway, you need to think up a prank for Sirius and I need to check something." Lily said matter of faculty.
"Okay, I’ll be back." He said as he walked off to look for prank ideas.
Lily sighed as she walked over to the Book of Animagus. She opened it and looked through it. "Stag… stag… stag…" Lily muttered to herself. She went through the book several times but there was a problem. "There are no stag Animagus… but then how can my soul mate be one then?"
Lily leaned on the bookshelf behind her. ‘Maybe my prediction was wrong.’

James walked through the library. He had been looking for the perfect prank for Sirius but he just couldn’t find one so he started to wonder around thinking about Amanda. He ended up wondering into the independent reading section, the section where they kept books to read just for fun.
James picked out Amanda’s favorite book in the section. He smelled it. It smelled of Amanda’s sweet perfume. He opened the book and… a piece of paper fell out. He picked it up and started to read it.
The Empty Void
An empty void…
that’s what I see…
an empty space that can’t be filled…
but I still try…
to fill the empty void…
to put love in the empty place…
but it’s only lost in the darkness…
I can’t fill that place without losing myself too…
even if the empty void draws me to it…
I can’t be the void’s world…
the empty void…
that is you.
James let his arms fall down from his face. It was in Amanda’s hand writing… it was her rough thoughts of him and the emptiness he felt.
He leaned on the bookshelf behind him. "The empty void…" He whispered as the room got a little colder just then. "That is me…"
