Alice was the first to arrive to the Head common room, quickly making her way up to Lily's room. Lily had called an emergency girl meeting, meaning only one thing. Something happened with her and James Potter.
For as long as Alice had known, the source of Lily's issues, nine times out of ten, revolved around the boy. He always managed to get under her skin, always made her mad. But only a fool would believe she didn't fancy him. It was quite obvious to Alice that her best mate was head over heels with James, but was much too hard headed to admit it.
That's the trouble with redheads, Alice thought, as she knocked on the door. Whatever was ailing her friend, she would do her best to help.
