Hey! It's me again! I need to ask you a favor, guys. Want to know more? Then keep reading.
This is another story about my favorite pairing ever created, James and Lily Potter. But I have a small problem: I have no idea how I should name it. Could you please help me?
Names for the chapters are also welcome!
The red curls floated to him. When he managed to stop staring, he saw those magnificent, staring, green eyes. They looked loving at James and she smiled. Those perfect, red lips smiled at him. She came closer slowly, like it was in slow motion.
"Prongs! Wakey-wakey!," Sirius screamed cheerfully. James woke from his day dream and looked at his best friend.
"What?", James asked innocently. They were sitting at the lake. It was Saturday and it was 30 degrees outside. Everyone sat at the lake today. Lily Evans was no exception (if you don't speak about her incredible looks, of course). She, Mary, Marlene and Alice sat at the bank and it seemed like they had a great time.
"You're drooling," Remus remarked dryly.
"I'm not," James protested. To be sure, he whipped his thumb over his chin, but obviously Remus was only joking. That would explain his ridiculous grin on his face.
"Yes, you are," Peter played along.
"And don't deny it; you were looking at Evans," he added.
"Lily," Remus and James corrected him. James, because he liked her and Remus 'cause he was Lily's friend.
"Hey, guys! See who's coming!," Sirius laughed suddenly. Nea Milson, a pretty seventh year Slytherin, made her way towards the Marauders.
"Hey, handsome," she said flirty. She looked James straight in the eyes.
"Nea," he said with a short nod. James knew she fancied him, but he didn't respond her 'feelings'. He fought for Lily, and if he couldn't get her, he would live the rest of his life as a bachelor with 20 owls to keep him company. And a cat, he always wanted a cat.
"How was your summer?," she asked. Her fingers stroked his face and he smacked them away like they were annoying flies who were attacking a piece of meat.
"Great." He refused to be friendly to her. She had called Lily a Mudblood last year. Nea hadn't said it in her face, but cowardly behind her back. That only made it worse.
It was the last day of their fifth year. James and his friends had organized a fun evening for the whole fifth year at the lake. Everyone, except some Snakes, was there. When they had drunk a lot of Firewhiskey, they decided to play Truth or Dare. Lily chose dare and she had to kiss Sirius. With a lot of reluctance she did it, and James had turned away his face.
"I know, it really is disgusting," Nea had said. "A pureblood kissing a Mudblood, it's making me throw up."
"If you call her that one more time, I swear you wished you were never born," he had threatened, while looking at her like he wanted to throw up and walked away. Instead of sitting next to her, he sat next to Remus, Peter and Mary. They were chatting about their Potion's homework.
Anything better than Nea, he had thought.
After two minutes, Sirius and Lily broke the kiss and Sirius took the seat next to James.
"Bloody hell," he muttered.
"What, Pads?," Peter had asked.
"She... I… Wow," he had muttered. "She snogs like a goddess…"
"Goddesses don't snog, Sirius," Remus had remarked.
"Yeah, well, like Prongsy always says, she looks like a goddess, she talks like one, and apparently she kisses like one too." James had jumped straight up, tears beneath his eyes. He had stormed back to the Gryffindor Tower, but Sirius had stopped him.
"Oy, mate. I didn't mean to hurt you," he had whispered. James said nothing and punched Sirius in his face.
"Okay, guess I deserved that one," his best friend muttered with his hand on his cheek.
"Jerk." That word was the last thing James said to Sirius for two months. After that they made up, because it wasn't Sirius' fault.
To be short, Nea called Lily a Mudblood and she had reared him so much, Sirius and he almost weren't friends anymore.
Nea didn't take the hint and kept sitting with the Marauders like she was one of them. And she absolutely wasn't. It struck James that every time Lily looked in their direction, Nea was touching him and it seemed like she loved it when Lily looked hurt.
"Will you stop that?!," James yelled suddenly.
"What?," she said, shocked.
"Touching me to make Lily jealous! I'm not interested! When will you ever understand that?" Nea's eyes became wetter with every word he spoke and when he finished, she ran away, crying.
"Bad move, Prongs."
"Sod off, Sirius," James snorted.
xXx
Lily saw how Nea kept touching James when she looked at him. Last summer she admitted she had feelings for him. Lily knew for five years he had feelings for her, but she never was interested. Not until now. She thought she had a chance, 'cause her friends told her he really, really liked her and he wasn't as bad as she thought for four years, but now he sat there with that tramp, she wasn't so sure any more about the fact that James fancied her. She had waited too long.
"Lily, you need to tell James how you feel about him," Alice said as she saw how Lily stared at him.
Busted, Lily thought. "No, I don't. And besides, he doesn't like me anymore. He likes that Nea - I have boobs, please shag me – Milson." Alice, Mary and Marlene burst out laughing. "What? It's true!"
"Sweetie, first, that Milson-name was hilarious, and second, James still likes you," Marlene laughed.
"Marley's right, y'know," Mary said, choking with laughter.
"Oh, shut up, all of you. And how do you know he still likes me?," Lily snarled.
"Will you stop that?!," James yelled suddenly. Lily turned, surprised.
"What?," Nea said, shocked.
"Touching me to make Lily jealous! I'm not interested! When will you ever understand that?" Nea's eyes became wetter with every word he spoke and when he finished, she ran away, crying.
Lily's body froze by hearing her name in his sentence. He wasn't interested. Her friends were right! She still had a chance on winning his heart!
"And that's how we know it," Marlene said victorious.
'Oh, shut up!," Lily laughed. Her day was good. And it was getting better when she caught James
staring at her. He smiled at her. She returned his smile and it looked like James was about to faint.
Just what I wanted, Lily thought. Let operation 'My boyfriend's James Potter' begin.
She grinned at her friends, and they all knew what she was on about.
"Ready?," she asked.
"Go for it," Marlene grinned.
So, what do you think? Should I continue? Let me know! R-E-V-I-E-W
