Can't Buy Me Love
Summary: Lily paid James for him to pretend to like her, to impress a boy. Well, James isn't pretending anymore, but how will she ever know with HIM in the way?
Disclaimer: As always, I own nothing but the plot and optional characters.
Chapter One- WHAT?
"You want me to what?" James yelled at the girl.
"Please?" She asked.
"No." He said in disgust.
"It's 300 Gallons." She said.
"Why?" He asked the redhead that was standing before him. He was enjoying planning a prank until she came in. She was Head Girl with him, but still he only had to put up with her.
"Amos." She whispered silently.
Not fully understanding what she said, "What? Couldn't hear you."
"Amos." She said a bit louder. Who was she kidding why would James Potter help her?
James went wide eyed. "DIGGORY? No, especially if its for him!" He spitted in disgust.
This girl sighed and walked back up the stairs to her dorm, which she stayed in there for the rest of the night.
James laughed bitterly and shook his head. She was clearly below him. He could never help her.
That evening at dinner, James spotted Lily sitting with a few girls at the other end of the table chatting quietly, as his group did not do so quietly. Her red hair was frizzy and curly, as it was back in a ponytail. She could use a little make up he decided, but was fairly pretty. Her robes were a bit big, but she had a cute figure. Note: CUTE.
"Prongs?" Sirius asked waving his hand in front of his face.
Sirius repeated this a few time, okay maybe not just a few but Paige got fed up and walked over. "JAMES!" She screamed in his ear. She was famous for her loud mouth, but her laughter filled the room with warmth and her smile was a "light in darkness" if you will.
James jumped, while everyone laughed. "What?" He asked.
"Why were you staring at Evans?" Sirius asked.
"She's a total freak." Molly said.
"I wasn't." James said and continued eating.
"Sure." Remus replied, eating as well.
"HEY EVANS!" James yelled.
"What?" She asked bitterly.
"I'll do it." He said.
"Potter, I don't want your sympathy." She said, and turned.
"I'll do it." He said with more meaning this time. She stopped and faced him.
She sighed, "Okay."
That next morning, Lily spoke for the first time since yesterday. "Why did you change your mind?"
James shook his head. "Why does it matter?" He said, not wanting to answer.
She smiled. James noticed how she glowed when she smiled, and smiled too.
"So, what do I do?" He asked, wanting to get this over with.
"I don't know, never thought you'd agree." She said.
James smiled and said, "Why don't I walk you to charms?"
