Lily Evans was sitting on the red couch by the fire, reading a muggle storybook, 'Harry Pooter'. She had shoulder-length fiery red hair, which many girls would die for, and beautiful emerald green eyes. All of a sudden, she felt something wet hit her head and slide down her neck. 'Curse those damned marauders,' she thought to herself. Whipping her head around, she saw what she had predicted all along. James and Sirius were laughing their head off while Remus just shook his head.
"POTTER! WHAT IT IS WITH YOU?! DO YOU SIMPLY HAVE TO PRANK BE EVERYTIME I BREATHE?!!" She yelled at James with a temper that matched her hair.
"Cool down, Evans, you don't have to get so agitated, look, your hair is already mad enough all your life."
"FINE WHATEVER. IM GOING TO GET YOU BACK FOR THIS, U JUZ WATCH OUT!" Lily stomped off to her dorm to find out what exactly had happened to her. "AHHHHH!!!" Lily shrieked as she stomped down the stairs again to the marauders' laughing. Her hair had been turned YELLOW! Oh, the horrors..
"Evans, seriously, you didn't have to make such a show of loving your new hair."
"Perform-the-counter-curse-NOW! AND I MEAN IT ABOUT GETTING YOU BACK FOR THIS!"
"Sure Evans. Anything for you. Oh, anyway, would you like to go to Hogsmeade with me?"
Lily glared at him.
"Would that be a 'yes'?"
"NO!"
"Right, I get the meaning."
"Good. And please get it through your thick head that I would NEVER go out with you." Lily stomped off, yet again, to her dormitory,
James watched as Lily went off in a huff. He just loved it when she was angry, with her cheeks flushed and her pretty emerald eyes flashing. Her eyes. He was totally in love with her eyes. They could express anything, and she didn't need to talk to show what she was feeling. Her hair.. how he wished he could run his hands through her wonderful silky red hair. They matched her temper perfectly. Her temper towards him anyway.
"Earth to James?? Hello, have you gone to Lilyland?" Sirius asked teasingly, waving his hand in front of James. He realized he had been in a daze staring after Lily and quickly snapped back to reality. Lily would never go out with him, not in a million years. She hated him to the core. Oh well. He just hoped this year things will improve between them. James turned to his best friend irritatingly. "Since you know I'm in Lilyland, the least you could do is leave me alone."
Sirius smirked. "I think you should just get over her, mate. She has refused you for like what, a million times?? Just find a new girl! There are tons out there!"
"She hasn't."
"Hasn't what?"
"Refused me a thousand times. Just 463 times."
Sirius sighed. Sure, Lily was drop dead gorgeous, but that doesn't mean he should like her for FIVE whole years! "You're hopeless, James."
"I want to forget her too, but I just can't. I can't get her out of my mind. She's not just any other girl. She's different. " James sighed and had this dreamy look in his hazel eyes. His friends sighed. He was thinking about Lily again. Next time, Sirius thought, I'll keep track of the number of times he thinks of Lily a day.
Unknown to the marauders, Lily was hearing the whole conversation outside the door of her dorm. Not just any other girl? Different? What did all that mean? Is it that... James did not ask her out just to complete his record, but because he truly liked her? Lily shook the thoughts out of her mind. No, it was impossible. James would never fall for her. But what did all those things he said mean? She couldn't help flushing at the thought. Lily went to the mirror and saw her cheeks redden. Did she like him? Her eyes widened. NO! She shook herself mentally. NO! This was Potter! Her worst enemy! She hurried to bed to put all those out of her mind.
Lily and James were sitting by the lake. She leaned her head against his muscular chest and sighed. James kissed the top of her head and she could feel him smile against her hair.
"Lil?" Lily looked up.
"Hmm?"
"I really like you, you know."
"That's so sweet, James."
James leaned in for a kiss and Lily found herself longing for it, and she too tilted her head up.
Lily woke up with a start. "What the?" she muttered to herself. What was that dream all about? She realized that these days, she just couldn't seem to get James Potter out of her head. Was she really falling for him? As she got out of bed, she noticed that she was wet all over. She shook her head and went into the shower. Gaia and Darci again.
Lily went down to the Great Hall for breakfast after her shower and found her best friends already sitting there. She took the empty seat they left for her and started eating. She remembered that she had yet to confront Gaia and Darci and turned towards them.
"You two twerps here! Why did I find myself all wet when I woke up just now? And what kind of friends are you guys, not even bothering to wake me up??"
Gaia nearly choked on her food laughing. "Well, we did try, that's why you were all wet, didn't you know already?? We gave up after that cuz you were murmuring something about Ja- " Her laugh turned into a cough. "about a certain someone, I mean." Lily felt her cheeks redden. Did they really hear her or did they make it up? She looked at James. He didn't hear their conversation, luckily and was talking and laughing with his friends. He was quite cute, actually. Lily realized what she was saying and mentally smacked herself. Where had that thought come from?
Darci followed her gaze and smirked. "You should know very well, Lilikins. A certain someone whom you adore but just won't admit it."
Lily frowned. "I don't like James Potter!"
Gaia and Darci turned their laughs hastily into hacking coughs as they said in unison "Who said we were talking about James Potter?"
Lily just glared.
