James/Lily pairing.
They weren't friends, they weren't enemies. They were very different, they thought they had nothing in common. They called each other by their last names. They bickered, they didn't fight though. They just disagreed, a lot.
This is the story of Lily and James.
James Potter couldn't sleep. He'd woken up at one o'clock in the morning with a thrashing headache and had been awake since. So he'd quietly crept downstairs to place himself in front of the warm fire in the common room.
Lily Evans was crying. She was out past curfew meeting Severus when they'd had a huge fight. When she got to the door she silently murmured the password and the Fat Lady swung open the door.
"Lily?"
"James?"
"Were you just out past curfew?"
"Um, yeah…"
"Wow, Lily Evans, breaking the rules. Wait, Lily are you crying?"
"No…"
"Lily."
"Maybe…"
"Come and sit. Tell me what happened." Suprising herself, she did. She told him everything. About Severus, about their fight, about her sister Petunia. James returned the favor by telling her everything. About his headache, about the Mauraders, about Remus being a werewolf. They talked, laughed, and never bickered. When they decided to go to sleep, they even hugged.
"Lily! Wake up!" Her best friend, Alice said.
"No."
"You're going to be late for classes." Alice warned. Lily's eyes peaked open.
"Ugh. Fine."
"C'mon, let's go get breakfast." The two went downstairs, to find that Peter, Remus, Sirus, and James were about to leave the common room as well. Everyone waited for the bickering to start, but instead something surprising happened.
"Hey," James smiled.
"Hey," Lily said back, smiling back, giving him a hug. Sirus's eyebrows shot up his forehead, Alice's eyes widened, Remus cocked his head to the side. James and Lily didn't, or pretended not to, notice. They merely walked out of the common room.
Alice and the rest of the Mauraders started talking immediately.
"Did we imagine that?" Alice asked.
"Nope, I'm pretty sure that just happened." Remus answered.
"What happened? They were arguing in Charms class just yesterday!" Sirus exclaimed.
"Let's go see what happens at breakfast." They all entered the Great Hall.
"They're sitting by each other now? What is going on?" Alice inquired. The four sat down in front of the pair, looking suspiciously at them.
"What?" Lily asked innocently.
"What is going on here?" Sirus demanded. James and Lily shared a smiling, knowing glance. James just shrugged. Lily merely replied,
"Nothing, Padfoot." Sirus gasped, looking at James. Remus and Peter gawked at Lily. James just laughed.
"Okay, this is really weird." Alice said. James smirked, throwing his arm around Lily.
"What? Me and Lily can't be good friends without it being weird?" The four turned to each other.
"He called her Lily."
"He called her a friend."
"He called her a good friend."
"He put his arm around her!"
"Guys, we're right here." Lily rolled her eyes. They all turned back to the pair.
"Sorry." They all mumbled. Now James rolled his eyes.
"They are just so-"
"I know! Completely -"
"Seriously."
"Now they're finishing each other's sentences." Remus mused.
"Maybe we're in an alternate universe?" Sirus suggested. Peter looked at James and Lily, considering.
"That would explain a lot."
