The True Reason Chapter 1
"LILY!!!" Petunia screamed, "YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHAT!!" Lily rolled her eyes good naturedly.
"Let me guess, it has something to do with a boy." Petunia was very predictable; she, unlike Lily, was extremely girly and boy obsessed. Lily hung around guys all the time and some of their habits had rubbed off on her: she didn't bother much with appearance and didn't care about shopping. Lily wasn't boy obsessed as she already found the one; she just needed his to feel the same way.
Petunia looked upset "How d'you guess?"
"All you care about is guys" Lily joked
"Well it's not like you like anyone!" Lily hadn't told Petunia about James or any of the Marauders, she didn't want them to know about her home life and she didn't want Petunia to make a fuss.
Lily rolled her eyes again, "All right, tell me about this guy!" She already regretted her decision!! Petunia launched excitedly into a detailed description:
"He's absolutely gorgeous!! He has this amazing messy hair! And his eyes, OH MY GOD HIS EYES!! I could stare into them for years!" Lily smiled as Petunia continued.
"Alright," Lily interrupted, "Where did you meet this drool-worthy guy?"
"You will never believe this but- he saved my life!!" Lily raised an eyebrow, "I'M SERIOUS!!" Petunia shrieked, "A car was coming at me and he pushed me out of the way!!!"
"Wow!!" Lily was impressed, "He does sound perfect!!" Petunia playfully glared,
"Don't you dare steal him!!" She said only half joking, "I saw him first!!" She giggled and skipped out of the room.
No chance of that. Lily thought sourly, there's only one for me and he has no idea!
Lily sighed, it was hopeless!! Why would someone as brilliant and amazing as James Potter choose his Mudblood best friend? And not just a Mudblood but one with an abusive father as well!!! What made it worse was that every week she'd see him with another girl, each one more beautiful and definitely more stupid than the last!!
Suddenly her mobile rang, Lily brushed away a small tear that had crept its way out of her eye and picked up the mobile, "Hello?"
"Hi Lils, its Remus." Lily smiled, Remus was the only one who knew that she loved James.
"Are you okay?" He asked concerned,
"How did you know I was upset?"
"I know you too well!!" Lily managed to choke out a laugh.
"How's James?" She asked
"Just dumped his bimbo of the week!"
"So he's available?" Lily joked.
"Yup! I suggest you wear that green shirt; he said it matched your eyes!"
"There's no point," Lily sighed, "He would never be interested in someone like me."
"Lily." He said sternly, "You are one of the most kind and beautiful people I have ever met!!"
"You're my friend you're supposed to say that." Lily muttered, hanging up before he could retort.
"Lily!" Petunia said from behind the door, "One more thing, I invited the hot guy to dinner tomorrow, could you make spaghetti?"
JRK: I hope you enjoyed and I hope the people who read what used to be the True Reason agree with my decision to make that the prequel!! So I'm actually getting to the point in this story!!!! If you have just started reading the True Reason it isn't absolutely necessary to read the prequel but it would tell you how Lily and James met and a bit more information about the abusive father.
