GIRLERY
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Harry Potter (or Lily and James). I don't have anything fancy to put in my disclaimer. Deal with it.
This will probably Be a series of one shots. This is the first one. Reviews will get me to put up part two!
"Can I talk to you, Lily?" asked Robert Resod, walking up near her and her friends.
"Uh, yeah sure." said Lily, confused. She and Rob walked to the corner of the hallway they were in. She gave him a questioning look.
"I was wondering," he began and flashed her a million dollar smile "Do you want to go to Hogsmead with me this weekend?"
"Ummm..." Lily wasn't sure "I don't know. Can I let you know later tonight?"
Rob shrugged "I guess, but I might already have another date by then."
"No, Rob, I do want to go, but I might already have plans with the girls. I can't remember." she covered. It was a lie made up on the spot, but if Robert noticed he didn't say anything.
"Oh, ok, talk to you later tonight then?" he flashed her another dazzling smile.
"Yes, definitely." Lily nodded her head once, firmly, as if to say that the conversation was over, then she turned and walked back to her girls.
"Well that was strange." she said.
"Oh?" Her best friend Adrienne said.
"Yeah...he asked me out." she said slowly. Adrienne and May, Lily's other friend, jaws dropped.
"He..."May started, but stopped. "What?"
"I know...its was weird."
"Hey. Hey, LILY!" a voice called form behind her. She recognized the voice as belonging to James Potter. She turned, her face instantly setting into her angry face.
"What do you want now?"
"I need to talk to you he said, and grabbed her arm, pulling her back towards the corner.
"James, James! I can walk on my own!" she said as she tripped a little.
"Rob's gonna ask you out. Don't say yes!"
"You're a little late, and why does it matter to you if I said yes?"
"Because he isn't going to do anything except hurt you." He explained she just looked at him. "He is a...he has a...what's the term...Girlery." When Lily and James were in their first year a third year girl coined the term Girlery. A Girlery was a collection of ex girlfriends. Rob had dated about half the girls in the school.
"He has a girlery? That's your reason for not wanting me to date him! You have a bigger girlery then he does, but you want me to date you!" she yelled, she was furious at him. Every time someone asked her out James had a reason why she shouldn't date him.
"I know..." he aid and hung his head. "That why I stopped asking other girls out about two months ago, or hadn't you noticed?" She had noticed, and she knew he was doing it for her. She found it touching, btu she wasn't going to let him know that.
"No, I hadn't noticed. So now is it no more proper girlfriends and just one night stands?"
"No Lily! Don't you understand!" his voice sounded desperate.
"Understand what?"
"I...I really Like...I love you, Lily." he said. He felt unsure of what he just aid. He knew he felt it, but was it ok for him to say it, out loud, to her. He took a deep breath, and told himself 'no secrets.'
"James?"
"Huh." James had been completely off in his own little world. He tilted his head down to look at her, and his hair fell into his face. Lily smiled at him. She knew that if he had dared to tell her that he loved her, that he really must. She knew James well enough to know that he didn't say things he didn't mean from the bottom of his heart. She knew he had never told another girl that he loved them.
"You should keep your hair out of your eyes." she said. She brushed it back, and walked off, leaving him standing, confused, in the hallway corner.
