Finally
Finally
Lily Evans flew a couple of complicated laps around the Hogwarts grounds on her Comet 360. It wasn't the newest or most updated brand of brooms there were but Lily was happy with it. Flying was one of the things that could actually take Lily's mind off of things, especially unpleasant things such as James Potter. He was an arrogant, stuck up, selfish little toe rag. If anyone could ruin Lily's day it would be James. When he wasn't making pitiful attempts at flirting with her, James was trying to show off to try to make Lily like him more. As if that would ever work, even thought James was considerably good looking Lily would never be caught with someone as conceited as him. One of the people that James, and his equally arrogant friend Sirius Black hung out with was Remus Lupin. Lupin was the polite on of the three friends. Lily constantly felt sorry for Remus that he decided to waste his time with James and Sirius, sometimes she thought that Remus only hung out with them was that he just wanted to feel accepted. Even if that was true, there are plenty better people to call friends. Lily did a couple more fast rounds then dived down to the ground and stopped short for the people she saw coming were that last that she wanted to run into. The arrogant toe rag himself, James Potter, came strutting across the field with Sirius Black not that far behind him.
"Oi Evans!" shouted Potter.
"Go away," said Lily, not even attempting to be civil.
"Oh come on Evans, don't be that way!"
"I'll be whatever way I want to be!"
By this point, James and Sirius had made it to the point where Lily was standing.
"Come on, how about you and I go take a walk?" asked James.
"I wouldn't take a walk with you if you were that last person in the world James Potter!"
"When will you realize Lily that deep inside you really actually want me."
"Yeah, way deep inside." Sirius said, snickering.
James took a step towards Lily, "You know you want me."
"In your dreams," said Lily taking a step back.
"Stop denying it." James said. He kept on taking small steps towards Lily until she was backed up against a fence.
"Get out of my way Potter! If I had my wand with me right now I swear I would hex you until you died!" shouted Lily.
"Ok well now I'm going to leave, I don't want to see James get beat up." Sirius said, laughing.
"See you later mate."
"James go away, I'm really not in the mood to deal with you right now." Lily said, after Sirius left.
"Just let me have my fun."
"Never!"
"Well now, you have no choice." James said slyly.
James put his hands on the fence next to Lily's face so she couldn't escape.
"James you complete idiot!" yelled Lily. Her anger boiled up in her and with all of her strength, Lily slapped James across the face.
"What the bloody 'ell was that for?" James shouted.
"You know perfectly well what that was for!" Lily screamed, she ducked under James arms and ran as fast as possible back to the castle. The shock of Lily's slap was still in James, though he was aware that now Lily Evans will never like him.
For the next few weeks, no the next few months, James was impossible. Instead of trying to flirt with Lily, now he was apologizing profusely. To James dismay, Lily never accepted nor did she even respond.
"Lily, please, I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you, I promise, I'll do whatever you want." James pleaded.
Lily turned around and faced him for the first time in months, he response wasn't exactly what James hoped for thought.
"Never in a million years will I ever accept your pathetic apologizes, save your breath and leave me alone!"
Somehow, James knew that it was over. Any other time James would of probably just over looked the harsh comment, but this time there was something in Lily's voice that assured him he lost.
"Hey mate, what's the problem?" Sirius said, noticing the crushed look on James face. "Did you finally get that Lily will probably never like you?"
"Shut up Sirius." James said, he turned around and walked uselessly down the hall.
