I'm sure this has been done somewhere, but here's the first chapter in my version of Lily losing her memory, with a twist ;)
Disclaimer: Harry Potter characters aren't mine
"He's staring again." Anna told her friend.
"For the twentieth time, I don't care!" Lily snapped back, "Potter can stare all he wants."
Lily, Anna, and their friend Miya, were sitting at the Griffyndor table in the main hall, and as usual, James Potter was finding it hard to keep his eyes off of Lily. Anna rolled her eyes running her hand through her thin blonde hair.
"I don't see why you can't give him the time of day. I mean, he's fancied you since second year and we're halfway through our sixth."
Lily turned to her, "Anna, you know why I wont go out with him! He's so cocky about everything, it annoys the crap out of me." Lily stated, but Anna still pressed her point.
"He's only like that to try and impress you. I think it's sweet. Not to mention the fact that James is super...well..." she giggled, sneaking another glance at him.
"Whatever, I love you guys, but I seriously have to do more than listen to yet another female praise James' body." Lily grumbled, standing up, "I'm going, I'll see you in Potions."
"Fine," Anna sighed, hiding a small smile.
Lily quickly exited through the wide double doors and entered the huge hallway. She still felt a little annoyed. Her friends should know her well enough by now to understand that she and James had no future what so ever. Sure he was good looking, but he knew it, and tried to use it to his advantange. It was infuriating and she wasn't just going to sit there while Anna made excuses for his behavior. Unfortunately for her, she gained some company during her musing.
"Hey Evans, where you off to?" James asked, suddenly right next to her.
His three best friends, Sirius, Remus, and Peter, appeared too.
"Nowhere you need to know about." She responded, picking up her pace.
"Oh come on! Don't be that way," he called, hurrying after her, the others tagging along.
"Can't you leave me alone for a simple day? Or at least until after the holidays?"she complained, coming to a stop.
"What fun would that be?" James asked with a smile.
Lily glared at him before asking, "What is with you?! Don't you have someone else to follow around?" The irritation was strong in her voice.
Sirius stepped up to James. "Come off it Evans, give 'em a break, he can't help that he's not all 'there', if you know what I mean..." He told her, ruffling James' already messed up hair, to which James shoved him off. Sirius just laughed. Lily rolled her eyes and began to walk off. Waving goodbye to Remus, she made her way down the hall.
"Hey Evans!" James shouted after her, "Go out with me?"
"In your dreams Potter," she yelled back, not even bothering to glance at his hopeful face.
He smiled, "Every night!"
He watched her retreating figure as she turned off into a different corridor. Sirius threw his arm around James shoulder. "Tough break, Mate, maybe next time."
James only shrugged him off again. "Oh, shut it, would ya?"
"Oi, Moony, Why does she wave at you, but grill us?" James demanded of his friend.
"Easy," Remus replied, "I attempt being nice to her, not annoy her."
James brows furrowed in thought.
"Nice?" Sirius feigned confusion, "What is this foreign thing in which you speak? Do you know what that is Prongs?"
"Probably more so than you would," James half-smiled, then he sighed, "Come on, we should probably at least make an appearence in class."
The others followed dutifully as they headed toward Potions.
Lily kept walking at her quickened pace until she reached the girls dormitory.
"He's so..Ugh!" She mumbled as she reached over to exchange her Transfiguration book for her potioons book. It was really unfortunate that Proffessor Slughorn allowed them to choose their seats. Thank goodness for her, Anna and Miya had claimed both sides of her, but Potter still angled himself at a close distance behind her. The perfect way to ruin her favorite class for the entire year. She found it hard to believe that he had even gotten the O.W.L's to move on to the N.E.W.T potion class. Then again, Potter actually did his work. She made her way to class arriving a little early, but people began to file in before too long.
"Alright class, today I am going to assign you partners and together you will be working on an aging potion," Proffessor Slughorn announced. "Thomson, you're with Adams, Reynolds, your with Davis, Prewett, your with Abbott, Snape, your with Mulciber, and Potter, you're with Evans."
He finished calling out the names then began to give instructions. Lily's mouth dropped open. Was Slughorn off his rocker?! There was no way that she was going to be able to work with Potter! James sat next to her as everyone began situationg themselves with their partners. She wanted to smack that smug little smirk off his face. She did her best to ignore him as she turned her book to the page Proff. Slughorn had instructed. James just watched her as she began to pour ingredients into their shared couldron.
"Need any help with that?" He asked, grinning at her.
"No, thank you, Potter, I want to actually get good marks on this project." She replied acidly.
James rolled his eyes. "Oh come on, it's not like I'm gonna ruin everything I touch."
Lily sighed. "Look, just let me do this, okay, I work better alone." Then she proceded to add a strand of unicorn hair to the boiling pot.
"Here, just let me-" James began to lean around her.
"No, Potter! Stop this immediately!" She pushed at him.
"Oh come off it, Evans!"
Suddenly the couldron tipped over, covering Lily in the burning liquid.
"Ah!" she screamed as the potion began to sting.
Then her vision became blurred and she heard a voice yell "Evans!" before everything went dark.
Please Review! Will upload next chapter soon!
