Author's Note- So, last night I was reading a ton of Lily and James fics and I decided they were really cool and I needed to write one. Anyway, here it is.
James and Lily's Seventh Year
Chapter One
Lily's Journal
October Fourth, 8:00 p.m.
I hate James Potter! Hate with all capital letters! Hate in size 72 font. Hate.well, I think you get the picture. I hate him. Well, it's probably something beyond hate. I'm too mad right now to think of a better word. So, what did the wonderful James Potter do this time?
To quote him, "he exists." That's already enough, but no, he had to do more. That's right, he had to embarrass me in front of the whole school.
Here's what he did:
Alice and I were just sitting at the table minding our own business and eating dinner. James (who's been asking me out at least once a week for the past year and a half) pulled out his wand and whispered sonorus, and all of a sudden, in front of the entire student body, plus all the teachers, he says "Lily Evans, will you go to Hogsmeade with me next weekend?"
As if. James is a big prat with his head reaching out of the atmosphere. It's way past the clouds. I'll bet it's somewhere around Mars now. Maybe he can tell us if there really are Martians there. Well, anyway, he asks me out in front of everyone 100 times louder than normal.
Why couldn't he have just stuck to his normal method and asked me out in person? No, he had to make my face turn crimson first. It's already bad enough when he asks me out in private.
This is a drastic time, and drastic times call for drastic measures. Very drastic measures.
I'm going to flirt with James and make him think I like him. Then, I'm going to ask his friend Remus Lupin out.
I know it's a mean, horrible, low-life plan, but this has gone on for too long, plus, I really like Remus.
He's a prefect and one of those "never breaks rules, gets good grades, is nice to everyone" kind of people. And, he is totally cute.
The only problem is he's one of James's best friends. Yup, big problem. If my plan works right, everything will be fine. I'll be with Remus, James will hate my guts and he'll stop asking me out. Problem solved.
James's Journal October Fourth
Okay, so I probably did one of the most tactless, stupid things ever. The good news: It got Lily's attention. The bad news: I think her hate for me just increased by 10 percent. What else was there to do though?
Here's the problem: Lily Evans is the coolest, nicest, prettiest girl I've ever met. I've been asking her out for years now but she always says no.
I think that under the circumstances, it was fine to do it.
So what is she's mad at me? It's one of those things she'll always remember. Any other girl at Hogwarts would have been overjoyed for James Potter to ask her out over dinner. Not Lily, all she did was turn the same color as the Gryffindor banner behind her and leave the Great Hall. Her best friend Alice was glaring daggers at me the rest of the night.
I need a new plan to get Lily to like me. Maybe I should be nicer, sorta like Remus. Then again, that would be hard, he hasn't gotten detention all year.
I'm definitely going to put that plan on hold for now. Severus Snape just walked by. I'm gonna go have some fun.
Lily's Journal October Fourth, 12:00 a.m.
I can't sleep right now! It's about midnight, but I think the sandman's somewhere in China because I haven't felt the least bit of sleepy. I think I'm going to go down to the common room and get something to drink and try to take my mind off the embarrassment.
James's Journal October Fifth, 12:30 a.m.
Score one for me! I was sitting in the common room, feeling depressed because Lily hates me so much. When, speak of the devil, Lily showed up.
Since it was around midnight, I was too tired to make myself act more mature. So, here's the conversation between Lily and me:
Me: Hey, Evans, like the little show I put on tonight at dinner?
Lily: You know I didn't.
Me: Well, you never answered my question, will you go to Hogsmeade with me next weekend?
Lily: In my nightmares.
Me: Suit yourself.
Lily: Whatever, I'm going back to bed. See you around.
See you around. Lily Evans said she's see me around. I'm in shock. She didn't tell me to get lost, no, she said see you around.
Lily's Journal October Fifth, 12:30 a.m.
The plan is officially in action. I just had a conversation with James that somewhat resembled normal. I made sure I said something nice and friendly when I was leaving. I told him I'd see him around. I wanted to say, "get lost, creep," but I restrained myself and acted somewhat civil. Gosh, he is going to be so shocked when I ask Remus out.
Well, I gotta go, I have a major test in charms tomorrow. .
