Lily stood helplessly and watched Sirius's antics, not knowing what to say immediately. She kept throwing glances at her best friend to see how he was taking this. He was holding up well; she hoped that he would not allow Sirius to hurt his feelings. Not that Severus ever would admit it if he did.
"Potter is vile. Why would I want to dance with an obnoxious toerag like him? He's arrogant and struts around like he thinks he's the best thing in the whole school," Lily said, getting angrier the more she thought about it. Why were they always trying to push James on her? "I think Severus has a point. If you think he's so great, you date him! Because I never will!" she shouted.
