A/N: HELLO! This is my first story in a really really long time. So I'm a bit out of touch but hopefully you guys like it!
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters or setting, those belong to Jo but I do own the cheese! Hehe.
CHAPTER 1: A New Friendship
"Hey James!"
"Waaats up Lily?"
"Nothing much…just getting myself some cheese…you?"
"Just wandering. Mind if I accompany you for some cheese? I'm a sucker for cheese."
"….sure…let's go get ourselves some cheese James!"
"Alright then Lily!"
And now we're on our way to getting cheese. Now, is that weird? I mean, we just agreed to become friends after what felt like 50 million years of hating each other and destroying each other's lives.
But, going into 7th year, I'm a mature adult. And as a mature adult, I can't afford to jeopardize my future just because I tried to push James off the edge of the earth. So I ambushed him at the Head's meeting…figuratively not literally guys…where to my utter surprise, I found out that James Potter, my ex-arch nemesis is Head Boy. Meaning. He had to accompany me, the Head Girth, to EVERYTHING. Now, childish Lily would have stuck her tongue out at him, had a yelling match, thrown her bag at him, punched him and then would have gotten annoyed 'cause his stupid Quidditch toned body wouldn't be affected by my stupid 5'4 frame. Jerk.
But instead, mature Lily just said "h my. Well isn't this a turn of events?" And then explained to James that she was going to be nice and mature now. AT which point, said James Potter burst into laugher and made petty, immature remarks about how impossible that was. But. He relented because…well I don't know why but he did.
And so here we are, still the first day, testing out this new foreign friendship idea with James Potter, both of us wearing our pajamas and both of us heading down to the kitchens for some cheese.
JAMES
Lily's trying to be friends with me. Notice the use of the name Lily. Not Evans. Yea, I know. Don't worry, if you're still in shock, somehow let me know and I'll send Pomfrey to help you, check you out that sorta thing.
Anyway, we're on a first name basis now, we're both heads and we're both on our way to get cheese. That's right. Cheese. I mean, if I had to pick the weirdest first day of Hogwarts, I'd have to say the first day of 7th year, no doubt.
But I guess this is nice. I mean I did agreed to be her friend…I don't know why I mean I've hated her practically my whole life. But for some unknown reason, before I know it, my mouth said 'okay' to her plan, therefore stunning both me and Lily. Yep.
I'm currently walking with Lily to the kitchens right now. You can hear the rain pounding outside. It was nice…peaceful.
That is of course. Until Lily decided to start whistling.
WHO THE HELL WHISTLES WHEN IT'S RAINING??
Oops. I said that out loud. That echo of a madman yelling? That was me.
Lily stopped dead in her tracks and just looked at me. Slightly scared and slightly annoyed.
"Er…I'm hungry?" I tried.
"So am I! Why do you think I'm coming down here to get freakin cheese at 1 a.m. in the morning?! Because I wanna walk with you?!"
Now now…that was a tad bit rude wasn't it? What happened to mature Lily?
And so I asked her that.
"Oh. Right. Sorry bout that. It takes some time to get used to."
"Understandable. And I'm sorry about that little outburst of mine."
"You are forgiven."
"Splendid."
Our stream of apologies and random outbursts got us to the painting of the pear. Thank goodness.
A/N: So? What did you guys think? All the chapters are going to be this length, I know, weird considering I normally have really long chapters. But I'm going for a short and sweet kinda thing. And I'm only going to update if I receive an efficient amount of reviews. So review!!
