Hello,
my dear readers! How are you?
So, this is a story about Lily and
James (mostly James point of view), and how they got together.
It
was going to be a oneshot, but turned out to be longer. ;)
Anyways,
enjoy, and review!
Disclaimer: I still don't own anything Harry
Potter related, sob. All goes to Jo, HURRAY FOR
HER!
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Sirius,
you can't be serious!" I exclaimed as he told me it.
"I'm
sorry to break it to you, Prongs, but… I am, you know, on two
points. One, I AM SIRIUS! Two, you really should do it."
I
sighed and sat down at the couch in the Griffindor Common Room.
It was a beautiful night outside, dark sky, free from all kinds of clouds, and the moon was shining so brightly. But, in the common room, there was no thing called sleep, at least not for me, James Harold Potter, or my best friends, Remus John Lupin, and Sirius Orion Black (why the hell did I think the middle names?). They had come up with a 'wonderful, absolutely the best plan ever!', as Sirius said it. But, I'm willing to do anything to get Lily to like me. If Remus said it was risk free, that is.
Lily… Lily Sarah Evans… (seriously, what's up with the middle names?!) Isn't that just the prettiest name in the whole wide world? Lily Sarah Evans… There's only one better name. No, not Peter Patrick Pettigrew. Lily Sarah Potter… Admit it, it does have a sort of… clang in it… Lily Potter, Lily Potter, Lily Potter, Lily Potter, Lily Potter, Lily Po-
"JAMES HAROLD POTTER! HAVE YOU
LISTENED TO A WORD I'VE SAID TO YOU, YOUNG MAN?" Sirius, my dear
friend, screamed in my ear (as I assume) as he had heard me
whispering Lily Potter.
Hmpf, stupid git, doesn't hear the
beauty in it. Lily Potter…
"JAMES!"
"What, you're my
mum now?" I said, as he (once again) interrupted my thoughts.
He
sighed "Write that stupid list now, and go to sleep after." He
and Remus went up to our dormitory, where my other friend, Peter
Patrick Pettigrew, was a sleep.
I sighed and got to work.
-Next morning in the great hall-
"Lily,
I thing you've got mail!" Suzie said, pointing up at the owls,
seeing my brown owl, Cat, flying in the middle, carrying a letter.
"Yes, I think you're right. Maybe mum send me some money, or
something." I said, holding out my arm so that Cat could land on
it, wish she did. She held out her leg to me, and I took the letter.
She flew of with a piece of my bacon in her mouth. God she's cute
sometimes…
"Who is it from?" Suzie asked, as she took my
toast.
"Hey, my toast! And, I don't know…" I said, taking
my toast back (well, half of it).
I opened the letter, and read
out load to Suzie:
100 reasons
why I love about Lily Sarah Po-, hrm, Evans. By James Harold
Potter
"Yeah, I did hear what I read you
know." I said, rolling my eyes.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say
Lils. Let's read it!"
1. Your
hair. It's just bloody amazing. I mean, it's… red. "Wow,
he's such a genius…!" , James
2. Your
eyes (duh!). They're all… green, and, well… green. (God, I suck
at this, and I've only wrote 2 points… I hate Sirius…)
3.
The way you always have the same breakfast (bacon, toast, milk, a
little cup of coffee and an apple).
4. When you walk, it's like
you… walk, you know? You just… walk. Nothing like all the other
girls do, shaking your but like a maniac as fast as you can when you
see a guy. No, you just… walk.
5. The way you listen to music,
ALL THE TIME. I just wonder, what kind of music? Cause I personally
listen to a Muggle band called Fall Out Boys right now. Ever
heard?
6. You don't have a lot's of friends, "Hey!",
but you those you have are awesome
(anytime Suzie, anytime). I love you because of your friends! (…
that sounded a lots better in my head…)
7. Your phone. It's
nice. It's… (pst, Remus, what colour is Lily's phone again? Oh,
right, thanks buddy!) light heaven blue. And that's a cool colour!
Very cool, Lily!
8. The way you hold your pen. You hold it between
your thumb and … and whatever muggles call the finger next to the
thumb. That's cute.
9. I'M TIRED!!
10. –sleep-
11.
–sleep-
12. –sleep-
13. Ok, no I was just kidding! I didn't
sleep at all!
14. … seriously, a HUNDRED reasons why I love
you? I could make 10.
15. I mean, not that there isn't 100
reasons to love you, there is. But I'm a guy! I can't write for
that long! It's middle in the night, by the way… Very beautiful,
sparkling moo-… WAIT, I'VE GOT AN OTHER REASON!
16. The way
your eyes sparkle with emotions. If you're sad, your eyes sparkle
sadly. If you're angry, your eyes sparkle angrily. If you're
happy, they sparkle happily, if you're – oh, you get the point.
It's just very, very… cool when your eyes always sparkle.
17.
…
18. …
19. …
20. OK, I GIVE UP! I'm just gonna
write some silly stuff now, to prove to Sirius that I can write 100
things I love about you. Ha.
21. The way you always yell at
me.
22. The way you always tell me I'm no good, at all.
23.
The way you always yell at me, even thought I didn't do anything,
and you know it.
24. The way you seem to hate me (I know you
don't, Lily-flower, but sometimes I'm trembling on that
point)
25. The way you actually cried when I asked you out in 6th
grade. Sorry about that, didn't mean to make you cry, you know. Am
I really that bad? "Maybe not…"
26.
You always say that you don't care about me, and that you wish I
would be dead. Do you really mean that?
27. I… I
need to…
28. Yeah, I just… sniffles
29.
No I don't cry, it's Pumpkin Juice drops. Not tears.
30. …
31.
OK! Yes, it's tears. Me, James Potter, Quidditch-captain, Head-boy,
best-in-our-year-at-transfigution, cry.
32. I've actually cried
a lot lately. And it's all your fault.
33. You could give me a
chance you know. I'm not that a bad person as you take me for. Ask
Suzie, she's actually one of my best friends. Hah, didn't know
that, did you? Suzie, come over to me and Sirius, we're sitting at
the end of the table, nearest the door. Sure
thing, they did. Sirius looked over at Lily and Suzie, but James kept
his head low. Suzie walked over to them.
34.
Lily. I need to tell you this without anyone reading it. OK?
35.
I… I think you should know this…
36.
cries a little more
37. blows my nose
38. OK. Lily, why do
you hate me so much? Why do you keep pushing me away? Why do you keep
yelling at me, blaming me, when you know I didn't do anything?
39.
No, Lily. I'm not taking it anymore…I took this shit for 4 years
now, Lily, 4 years!
Do you know how much time I've wasted on you, on something I'm
surely not even gonna get. It's killing me, Lily. You keep pushing
me away, Lily. Why?
40. …And no, I'm not gonna kill myself, I
know it sounds like it, but no.
41. I'm just simply telling you
how I feel. Look over to me, do you see it? Do you see the tears on
my cheeks? Obviously not, since I've put a cover-up charm on my
face. You might think I look like I always do, always the same smile,
always the same hair, always the same eyes, so full of life. Look
again.
42. See it? No. But I'll tell you how I look.
43. In
a couple of weeks, I've got no sleep at all, so I have big dark
circles around my eyes.
44. I really don't feel like fixing my
hair anymore, so it looks worse than usually. Hah, like that's
possible... But it is, since I look my self in the mirror every
morning and don't recognize my self.
45. I do brush my teethes,
since I hate the bad smell. But I don't wear a smile. My lips are
just… lips, you know?
46. Ok, so it came a lots complaining all
at once, heh, sorry bout that. But, seriously, I need you to know
this, so I might have a chance to move on.
47. …
48. Why are
you crying, Lily? Oh, I know! Cause you know this is your fault.
49.
You think, that if you had just given up your pride a long time ago,
and actually followed your heart and not your brain, and had said Yes
when I asked you out the first time, this wouldn't have
happened.
50. You think, that if you hadn't screamed at me all
the time, this wouldn't have happened.
51. You think, that if
you would've smiled as I walked up at you, and not have hidden you
face in your hands, thins wouldn't have happened.
52. I don't
know, but I think that it would've changed it all. In a bad
way.
53. Since,
54. I love you for your pride,
55. I love
you for thinking with your brilliant brain,
56. I love you for
screaming at me, that's what kept me fighting,
57. I love you
for not smiling, since then your eyes sparkle in a very odd kind of
sparkle.
58. Don't judge me, Lily. I'm just trying to move
on.
59… Yeah, and that's gonna work out very good, haha,
not.
60. Honestly, I can't figure out 100 reasons why I love
you, so I'm just gonna say one more thing:
61. I love you Lily,
I don't care that you scream at me sometimes, I don't care that
you have a seriously wicked personality. I don't care about all
your flaws,
62. Cause I love you, and since you read this letter,
I know you love me to (since I putted a truth charm on it).
63.
Lily. Come over to me and make me the happiest man on the earth.
Please, don't push it anymore, forget about your pride. Just follow
your heart, for once.
"Oh
my…" I couldn't say anything else, my heart was pounding like a
maniac. I did cry, and I did feel sorry for him. But I would never
have expected that he loved me for being such a monster to him.
J.
"James, she's on her way…"
Sirius whispered to me, and I swallowed hard. It's now or
never.
"H-hi, James." She said, looking at me. I set my eyes
at her, and looked into those beautiful green, emerald, eyes.
"Hi
Lily."
L.
"Hi Lily." Why
didn't he say something like "Hi my lovely love-Lily! How are
you?"?
"James, I… I didn't know…" I said, feeling
tears rolling down my cheeks. I swallowed hard and took a deep
breath.
"I thought you… I thought you were just playing with
me-"
"Playing?" He looked up, meeting my eyes again, and I
could see that he wasn't sad, he was just plain mad.
"Playing?
Playing?
Lily, I love you, for God's sake! Haven't you realized that yet?
Lily, I… You're so stupid! You're like a… you're… Argh!
Lily, I love you. I have never played with you, I have never played
with any girl. I wrote that letter, with all of my heart, Lils, I
ment every word. And you have the guts to come over here and say that
you thought I was just PLATING with you?" He screamed, and I felt
the whole Great Hall turning around under my feet's. James had
never screamed at me before, ha had never been this mad, at
anyone.
"James, I think she meant-" Remus begun, but James
shoot him a glare, and he went silent.
"I don't care what she
meant! What she meant, and what she said are two different things.
Lily, I… I got to get out of here…" He stood up, and started to
make his way out of the Great Hall.
All eyes were on me.
J.
I didn't mean to scream at her. I didn't, but what she said,
it just… I lost it.
"James!" I heard her shout behind me,
and I stopped and turned around, facing her.
"I'm so sorry…
I'm sorry, but I… I…"
"Oh stop it! Lily, say what you
mean. Follow your heart. Until you figure out how to do that, don't
talk to me."
I walked away and left her alone, standing alone in
the Great
Hall.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
