Disclamer: I do not own Harry Potter
To love, or not to love
Chapter 1: Oh, that young love
Sometimes life is confusing.
Sometimes deeply unexpected things happens.
And sometimes, it even makes sense.
"JAMES POTTER!" Lily Ewans cried angrily. "Let him GO for gods sake!"
James, ignoring her, made a flick with his wand, and made Severus Snape spin, with an extremely high speed, in the air, twelve food over their heads.
"LET HIM GO I SAID! Why do you always has to hex people on the most cruel ways, just to amuse yourself, your self-satisfied, insensitive IDIOT?" the last word was screamed out so loud, that even those ones, standing in the opposite side of the frozen lake, turned their heads to see what was going on.
Sirius Black, standing next to James laughed loudly. "You surely know how to make a good impression on the ladies Prongs. I actually never think that I've seen her that angry before!"
James just looked annoyed at the friend, and made a complicated series of swings with his wand, so that Snape was thrown around in all possible (and impossible) ways.
It was so typical for Lily to come, just as he was having a little fun, giving Snape a well deserved lecture.
Lily, who now has red in the entire face of anger, pulled her wand, and pointed it at James
"Do as I'm saying, or I am going to hex you in the most terrible way you could possible imagine!"
James gave her a fast look. It seemed like she was serious about the hexing-part, and for a short moment, he considered letting Snape go. She didn't say anything about from which high, or how fast, did she?
But on the other hand. He had her full attention, so why not take advantage of it…
"OK, I'll let him go" he said, and stopped the hex. Snape, who at that time was hanging high up in the air, screamed loudly, and flapped with his skinny arms, as if he was trying to fly, when he drooped down to the earth as a stone.
At the last moment (and it really was the last moment, Snape was so close to the ground, that his head got dipped in a big pile of snow) James made a quick flick with the wand, and Snape flew up high in the air again.
Lily, who had been paralyzed of horror, when Snape fell down, ran towards James "ARE YOU COMPLETELY INSANE?" she screamed, while she forgot all about magic and hit him hardly with her hands.
Sirius gave a roar of laughter "damn good observation Evans!" he grinned.
James scowled at the friend, and tried, with the left hand (the right holding the wand), to pull Lily away, while she was still beating him.
"I will let him – auch!- go, if you just promise to go out with – AUCH! DAMNIT EVANS! NOT IN THE HEAD!"
That night the atmosphere at the Marauders dormitory was very depressed.
James sat and hold his hand over his eye, who was extremely swollen, and had an interesting deep purple colour.
He occasionally moaned quiet, mumbling something about "incredible pain".
"gee James. She really got you there! Just be happy that she wasn't going for a more exposed and definitely more painful spot" Sirius said cheerful.
James scowled. "Shut up Padfoot!"
"er- guys. Would you mind not arguing? Some of us are trying to read in here"
"Moony, Moony. You are always trying to read" Sirius said.
Remus overheard Sirius´ comment, and buried again his nose in the giant book (it was at least two inches thick!), that laid on his bed.
James Moaned a little louder, when he tried to touch his swollen eye.
"Merlin! I´m getting crazy of this!" Remus said annoyed, and, without even raise his eyes from the book, he pointed at James with his wand, mumbled a few words, and then continued the reading.
James looked choked at first, and then ran towards the mirror hanging on the wall.
He stared deeply at himself a couple of seconds, as if he would make sure that none important parts of his face was missing. Then he turned to look at Remus. "how long has you been able to do this?" he said impressed, pointing his perfectly healed eye (A/N: I know that James properly just could have get his eye fixed at the hospital wing, put I supposed that he would like not to answering questions about how he got beaten in the first place)
Remus looked thoughtful, and then said "Since mid of June I guess"
"Thank you buddy! I owe you one" he said grateful as he turned back to the mirror to admire his hazel brown eyes, who now was normally skin colored, and both open.
Suddenly he turned around again with a speculative expression in his face. "why didn't you used that trick before now?"
Remus blushed a little, and then looked his friend in the eyes "because, I think that you honestly deserved to have that blue eye!"
James looked dumbfounded at the friend ""What do you mean with that Remus? Snape did seriously deserve to get that lesson. He always has to stick his long, slimy nose in everything"
Remus nodded "Yeah, he might deserved it a little… but i honestly think that it was kind of mean to Immobilise Lily".
James´ face turned red. "but she was beating the gods out of me!"
Remus shocked his head, and continued to read again. He knew you couldn't argue with James, when he was like that.
Sirius patted James at the back, and grinned "Well Prongsie, you have really messed it up this time. Ive never seen Evans that angry before! Maybe you should just have dropped Snivellius BEFORE Evans attacked you."
James gave Sirius a nasty look "well, thank you soo much for pointing that out. I feel so much better now. Not like I've sat and regretting just exactly that tiny detail for the past three hours!" he said sarcastic., and turned the back to Sirius.
Why could he never do anything right? Now, Lily hated him more than ever, and they weren't even halfway through the school year!
He had been so sure, that this would be the year. The year, when he finally would get a date with Lily Evans, after asking her frequently (which means something like every time he saw her), for four years!
He'd really started to believe that she soon would open her eyes for the charming, sexy and brilliant person he was, when they had reached their sixth year at Hogwarts, and she had become more mature.
Unfortunately the destiny had something else planned (oh, so much else!)
Wow!!! I actually posted a story!!! The second chapter will be up in some days (hopefully tomorrow!)
By the way, I'm so sorry for all of the spelling mistakes and weird sentences! English is not the language I'm grown up with (only had it as a subject in school). But there isn't any Danish websites where you can post HP fan stories, so I decided to translate it to English.
Hope you like it!!! Please review! I would love to heir what You thinks of my story (both good and bad)…
