He flung his bag across the floor and threw himself on the bed. Another day. Another rejection. Why? Why wouldn't she like him? He had done all he could, hell, he had even stopped cursing Snape. Yet , with each day , she seemed to hate him more .He thought he had seen a ray of hope when they both became Heads and had to share dorms together , maybe she would see that beyond all the pranks there was a guy , a guy who was in love with her , and would do anything for her. Instead she went off with that Diggory.
He ran his hand through his hair, frustrated and then slowly fell into a deep slumber.
He awoke to the sound of music .Yawning, he managed to stand up and walk towards the source of the sound.
Lily's door was wide open and she stood there flinging a scotch bottle around, dancing (quite absurdly) to music.
'Lily, um are you drunk?'
'I'm bringing sexyback YEAH' said Lily, singing along with the song.
'Guess that answers my question' said James.
Lily Evans. Drunk. James widened his eyes in shock. 'How she managed to get herself alcohol, let alone consume it is beyond me' thought James as he watched Lily wave her hands around and yell out the lyrics.
Exhausted, Lily collapsed on her bed, giggling.
'Lily. Are you sure you're ok?'asked James, filled with concern.
'Ohh I'm fine. Never been better.'
'Um that's goo-'
'I'm actually AMAZING, considering I don't have to put up with that Diggory anymore' said Lily interrupting James. 'He dumped me!'
James mouth dropped in shock. That idiot had dumped her? How anyone could ever let go of an amazing person like Lily was beyond him.
'He said I was no fun.' said Lily, as she recalled the days events 'that I was boring and prissy and way too goody for him.'
James gazed into Lily's eyes and caught the sadness in them .A sadness that made his heart ache.
'Am I boring James? Is that why I have barely any friends? Is that really why he dumped me?' asked Lily, a couple of tears forming in her eyes.
James leant over and brushed her tears away. 'Of course not Lily. I think you're wonderful. You're loving and caring, not to mention you're unbelievably beautiful. And Diggory, well, he's an idiot.'
Lily let out a small laugh. 'He is an idiot, isn't he?'
James rested his forehead against Lily's and let out a little sigh. For a moment everything seemed so perfect. He reached out and took Lily's hand in his and entwined his fingers with hers.
'You know what James; I think you're way nicer than Diggory.Way way nicer.'
James was finding it hard to breathe. Having the girl you're in love with so close to you made it kind of it difficult for James to think straight.
Lily leaned forward and captured James' lips with her own. It was a soft kiss, filled with tenderness that took James aback. Unsure of what to do, James slowly closed his eyes and deepened it.
Suddenly, Lily pulled away, breathing heavily. James looked up at her .He expected her to deny everything, to push him away .Instead she smiled and said 'You know what James; there's still hope for you yet.'
With that she fell asleep in his arms.
Te next day, at breakfast James tried to catch Lily's gaze.
He watched as she blushed and avoided him, obviously recollecting the previous nights events .He walked up to her and cockily yelled out his daily morning proposal and watched as she coldly turned him down and walked away.
Yet somehow the usual ache he felt after her rejection was quite less that morning. For somewhere deep down him knew that he stood a chance, just like she had said. And one day she would say yes.
Till then, he would wait.
