Hello Hello! My 1st Harry Potter Fanfic! This is J+L Fic!! It is also based on the manga Peach Girl and the T.V. series Peach Girl. I don't own Peach Girl OR Harry Potter. Also the plot is based on Peach Girl, however not everything will be exactly the same! Enjoy! :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Sirius! Look at what you did! You had to hit my Quaffle with your broomstick! Now it's in the Atlantic OCEAN! A Quaffle is not the same as a Bludger you git!!!" Screamed a angry James Potter.
"Sorry James! Look lots of muggles go swimming in the Atlantic Ocean so I'm sure you can just change into your bathing suit and get it! It does kind of look like one of those muggle balls and the quaffle does float." Explained Sirius.
"ME? You want ME to get it?"
"PLEASE! James you know I'm afraid of the water. Besides your the only one that can swim the best out of the four of us!"
"URGG!! Fine. But you so owe me!" James Potter marched off into his Mansion and changed into a bathing suit. "Come you guys, lets fly to the shore of the ocean, no one is at the beach this early. It's only 6:00 AM I doubt muggles would see us."
"If you say so James" Remus replied. The gang flew towards the Atlantic Ocean. Once they got there, they put their broomsticks in a nearby forest. Seeing no one on the beach at such a early hour, James dived into the ocean in search of the quaffle. He was athletically built so it was easy for him to swim against the waves. Then all of a sudden a typhoon came crashing on top of him. He fell into the salty ocean, unconscious.
His friends didn't know what to do. None of them can swim very well so they decided to call for help.
"HELP!!!! HELP!!!!!" Yelped a worried Remus Lupin.
"Damn it! Where is a stinking Guard Lifer when you need one!" Proclaimed Sirius.
Out in the distance a girl with auburn hair walks up towards the beach.
'How I love the ocean. It makes me feel so free.' (A/N: ' means thinking)
She hears a distant yell.
"HELP!" Screamed Peter.
She runs towards the 3 people standing on the shore of the beach.
"What is wrong? Why are you guys screaming for help?"
"Our friend. He's in the ocean. Got knocked into wave! Please save him" Sirius spat out the information. Upon hearing this, the girl jumped into the ocean and started swimming desperately trying to find the body. Finally she saw something and indeed it was a body of an eleven year old boy. She grabbed him and hauled him back to the shore.
"Is he dead?????" Sirius said jumping up and down.
"No, he's just unconscious. He needs mouth to mouth. Well, which one of you boys is going to do it?" The girl asked.
"WHAT? Mouth to mouth? No way!" Sirius said.
"No matter how much James has helped me in the past I refuse to kiss him!" Remus answered the girl's question.
"I ain't touching his mouth!" Peter said.
"You guys are a bunch of sissies! He is one of your good friend isn't he? And you aren't even willing to do mouth to mouth?" She received head shakes from the other 3 boys. "ARGG! I guess I have to do it then." The girl leaned down and started to do mouth to mouth, hoping to save the boy. After a minute or so the boy they called James started to cough and spit water out. He slowly opened his eyes but quickly shut then again. He seemed to be blinded by the light, he did however see an outline of a girl with piercing emerald eyes who looked like an angel. This was the last thing he saw before passing out.
"Your friend is fine now. Probably a bit tired. You should take him home to rest. Next time don't go swimming is there isn't a Life Guard around." The girl told the 3 boys.
"Thank you SO SO SO SO Much for your help! Could you tell me your name?" Sirius asked.
"I'm Lily Evans you guys are...."
"I'm Remus Lupin, that is Peter Pettigrew, the other one is Sirius Black, and the one you saved was James Potter."
"Well good luck to your friend there. I'll be leaving now. Bye!" The girl said waving as she walked off.
"Come on boys, lets get Jamsie home." Remus, always being the reasonable one.

Lily's POV
Who would have thought that me, Lily Evans, saved the "great and mighty" James Potter 4 years ago. I remember that day clearly. I was almost 11 and taking a walk to the beach. I saw these 3 boys who now go to Hogwarts, yelling and screaming. Their friend was drowning in the ocean. I went and saved the boy from drowning since I was such a good girl. Now I'm currently in love with one of the 3 boys yelling for help. Remus Lupin. Remus and I became friends on the train. He recognized me as soon as he saw me, unlike Sirius and Peter. He's so nice and considerate, I've always liked him. He made me feel all warm inside. We've been good friends and now its our 4th year at Hogwarts. I'm determined to be more then friends with him. Speaking of friends, James Potter, the boy I saved, has not said much to me. I don't even think that he knows I saved him. Maybe his friends didn't tell him. Anyways, James is such a big flirt! I can't stand it. He's considered to be the most popular guy in our year. I think that he's an ass. The four of them are called the Marauders. They pull pranks every single day. It seems like there is always a Slytheirn that is being embarrassed during dinner.
My best friend Stephanie and I are currently in Hogsmeade looking at cute little bags.
"Hey Steph, I really like this bag. It's so cute! What do you think?"
"I don't know Lily, I don't think it suits with your hair color. Besides it looks tacky."
"Really? I guess I'm not going to get it then. Lets go to The Three Broomsticks for some butterbeer."
"Okay Lils." We arrived there and sat in a little corner. Rosmerta came and asked what we would like to have. Steph ordered for us- two butterbeers. "So Lily who do you like?"
Oh no not this question again. Steph has been bothering me for ages about this. I really can't stand her when she does this. She would ask me who I liked and then she would go out with that guy. Of course every guy would say yes to her since she is the most popular girl and the most desired. I agree Steph is very pretty, gorgeous even, but her personality ain't so great. I don't even know why I consider her my best friend. I decided to point to any old random guy that was sitting behind me. I really didn't want her to know that I liked Remus. So I raised my hand and pointed behind me, hoping it was some ugly boy. I was wrong. I just so happened to be pointing at James Potter. I think he saw me pointing at him because he looked at me and winked. OH GOD! I really can't stand him. James and Sirius are the biggest flirts, yet I manage to blush. And when I blush, I look like a tomato. I looked back at Steph to see her reaction.
"YOU like James? The most popular guy in our grade? Really? You know he does have girls falling for him left and right."
"Yes, I do know Steph. Anyways lets finish out butterbeer and get out of here. We have to get back to Hogwarts."
"Alrighty, could you wait for me for a second though by the carriages? I have to go and buy my mother a birthday present. Her birthday is next week."
"Okay, I'll be waiting by the carriages. I'll see you later." We exited out of The Three Broomsticks and went our separate ways.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day I saw Steph with a bunch of ditzy girls from Ravenclaw. I recognized them as Tiffany, Rachel, and Rita. They were such bitches I don't know how Steph can converse with them. Anyways on Steph's shoulders I saw the bag that I had wanted. The one she told me was tacky. Then how come she has it? I was fuming!
"Steph! I thought you said that the bag was tacky?" I inquired.
"Well, when I went back to get my mum a gift, I decided that it wasn't that bad. It's actually pretty cute." She gave me one of her innocent smiles.
"Yeah....okay."
"OMG! STEPH! That is like the cutest bag I've like ever seen!" Miss. Ditz Tiffany stated.(A/N: I have nothing against ditzy people, actually I'm sometimes like one!)
"Ain't it?" Steph replied. She was now posing like she was some kind of model. She then spotted something or someone in the distance. She waved goodbye and walked to her target. I looked and saw James Potter. She went up to him with a packaged gift, probably her "Mum's" gift. I can't believe her! She sure works fast. I couldn't take it anymore and I decided to go back to my common room.

End Lily POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hi James!" Steph smiled a cute and innocent smile.
"Oh hi Steph, how are you?" Replied James.
"I'm fine. I got you a gift."
"Oh thanks! I appreciate it. Hey that bag. Isn't it...What are you doing with that?"
"What do you mean James?"
"Well I saw you and your friend the other day while I was shopping for my sister's birthday present and I overheard your friend saying that she wanted it and you said it was ugly."
"Are you implying that I tricked my Best Friend???"
"All I'm saying is that I hate girls that lie especially in relationships. You really should be more like your friend Lily." Having said that, James walked off.
~Later That Day~
"Here Lily! you can have the bag! I don't want it anymore. It is too ugly anyways." Steph threw her bag onto the floor and stormed off.
"Huh? Wait Steph...Charms is the other way!!!" Lily yelled after her. 'Guess she didn't hear me.' (A/N: ' ' means thinking)
'What was that all about? Hey the Ditz, Ditzy, and Ditziest are talking about it.'
"OMG! Did you hear what happened?" Tiffany asked.
"Yes! I heard James blew Steph off! Can you believe it? All over some stupid bag" replied Rachel.
"He said that he wanted it for his sister. Wait a second. I don't think he has a sister!" added Rita.
'HAHAHAHAHA! GO JAMES! Someone FINALLY shuts her down. I swear after all of her love letters her ego was growing way too big. I guess that James ain't so bad. He did see through her act.'
~At Dinner that Day~
"Hi Remus! How have you been?"
"Hi Lily Flower. I've been great. Hey look I have a picture of me, you, Ashley and Mark from over the summer. They are going out now. Isn't that great?"
"Yeah! I really miss Ashley. I can't wait for this summer. Do you have a copy of the picture?"
"Yeah here Lily. Anyways I'll see you later. Dumbledore looks like he's about to say something."
"Hello students! I have an announcement. Our Head girl and boy have decided that we need to acknowledge the love in this school. Which I think is abssurde, since we have MANY couples wandering the halls. May I add that no students are allowed to be out of their rooms after curfew. Anyways we have decided to honor the love in our school by having a love scroll. You may write down the name of you and your lover. Their will be a cutest couple award presented at our Winter Ball which will be held on January 14th. Now BludderDash and eat!"
'A love scroll? I wish Remus and I could be on that. But that's not going to happen any time soon.' Lily was just sitting there daydreaming of all the possibilities. A certain boy noticed. (A/N: No not Remus)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey Lily! Like is it true?" Tiffany asked.
"What are you talking about?" I inquired.
"I'm sure you know what we are talking about. You were the one that wrote it. Like do you really think James would give YOU, a little bookworm, the time of day? Seriously." Rachel added.
"What ARE you talking about!!!" I was fuming. One because they had just insulted me and two they wouldn't tell me what they are talking about.
"The love scroll you freak! What else would we be talking about. Seriously." Rita said giving me a look that meant "I am much better than you and you are SO inferior to me"
"WHAT??" I was so confused. What are they talking about? I ran to the love scroll that was posted in each common room. Among all the small couples' names said:
LILY EVANS AND JAMES POTTER
'OMG Steph must have wrote it!'
"STEPHANIE!! Why did you write that on the scroll?" Lily points at Steph.
"What are you talking about Lillian."
"You wrote that James and I are a couple and we certainly aren't. Besides you're the only one that knows I like him."
"Why would I do something like that. Seriously you told me at Three Broomsticks, anyone could have overheard. You really shouldn't blame your friends" Steph gives Lily a cold look. She turns and walks off holding her head up high.
'WHY THAT LITTLE BITCH! I can't stand her anymore. With friends like her...who needs enemies?' Lily decided to go to her room and hide from all the gossip.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~In the halls~
"OMG! That Lily Evans thinks she's all that. She thinks that James would actually like her. What a whore!" Tiffany said to the rest of her friends.
"Like I know, James definitely can do better then that little skank. He should go out with me." Rachel replied.
"Yeah he's so hott! Does little Evans even think she has a chance." Rita said.
James was walking down the hall when he overheard those girls. 'O god! Give me a break. Those girls drive me insane.'
"Hey girls! Did anyone tell you what a great kisser Lily is?" Having said that James walked off. 'This will give them something to talk about. I hope they don't bother Lily.'
"See I told you guys she's a whore. She just pretends she's a good girl by acting like a book worm." Tiffany said angrily. She spots Lily walking down the hall. "Hey Whore! What are you doing to James!"
"Huh? What did you just call me?" Lily turned around and looked at Tiffany.
"A whore. Seriously you think you can just go out with James for a day and then move on to the next guy, just as long as he gives you gifts and treats you like a princess. Well you can't! We won't let you. Who do you think you are for kissing him!" Rita told Lily.
"What!? ME kiss HIM! Who's been telling you that. Steph?"
"No, not Steph, James. How can you blame Steph. She's such a sweet girl. What kind of friend are you?" Tiffany said.
"JAMES??? Uggg! You guys aren't going to get away from this. I'm going to talk to him!" Just as Lily was about to leave, Tiffany grabbed her arm. During the process, she rips off a keychain containing the picture Remus gave to Lily.
"LET ME GO!" Lily yelled. The Keychain now is on the ground and Tiffany steps on it. Lily sees this and looks pissed off. "Move your leg!" Lily said.
"What? STAY AWAY FROM JAMES!" Tiffany yelled at Lily.
"I SAID MOVE YOUR DIRTY LEG!!!!!!!" Lily now screamed at Tiffany and finally pushed her over. Lily was just about to punch Tiffany when a male voice was heard.
"GO Lily! Do it!!" Lily turned around and saw James Potter leaning against the wall with a smug expression on his face.
"WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING ABOUT! This is ALL your fault!" Lily yelled at him. She let go of Tiffany.
"James help us. You saw what she did to us. She's so horrible." Tiffany complained.
"Sorry but it's a girl thing." James replied. Lily now was in front of James. She then punched him in the stomach.
"OOOOF! What was that for? I thought you were going to beat them up. Not me!"
"Who do you think caused all of this!" Lily grabbed his shirt. "WHEN AND WHERE did I EVER kiss YOU??"
"Four years ago. When you saved me."
"That...That...That wasn't a kiss you idiot! I was trying to save your ass by doing mouth to mouth resuscitation!"
"It still counts doesn't it?"
"NO IT DOESN'T YOU FREAK!" The three other girls over heard.
"What it was mouth to mouth resuscitation? That's hardly a kiss." Tiffany said.
"Come on you guys. I'm hungry. That was such a bad waste of time." Rita said.
"So ALMIGHTY JAMES. Are you going to tell everyone that it was just a rumor and help clean this up?"
"Er..."
"YOU IDIOT! What else have you been telling people. That we had sex too?" Lily was seeing red. She looked at James who gave her a guilty look. "AHH! YOU GIT! I can't believe you!" Lily repeatedly hits James's head. 'Oh no! What if Remus hears about this. Of course Remus is going to hear about this. After all they are best friends.' "JAMES MIDDLE NAME POTTER! I HATE YOU! What am I going to do???" Lily looked like she was about to cry, she slid down the wall landing in a crouching position. James sat down beside her.
"Well, Lily dear, we could turn the rumors into the truth." James said. He looked at Lily to see a confused look on her face. He leans in and unexpectedly kissed her on her lips. He then slowly pulls away. Lily sits there shocked and stunned from the kiss.
"Lils?? hello?" James waves his hand in front of her face. "Wow was I that good? Must be, she is after all speechless. In that case how about another." James leans in for another kiss. This time Lily snapped out of it.
"YOU JERK!!!! ARE YOU STUPID IN THE HEAD OR WHAT????" She takes her books and whacks him in the head. "I SHOULD HAVE LET YOU DROWN! YOU ARE A....A... STUPID BUTTHEAD!"
"Woah, I've been called many things but never..butthead!" James pretends to look hurt. Lily runs off.
'I can't believe that JERK! That stupid kiss.' She wipes the kiss off. Then goes and drinks some water. 'THAT WAS NOT A KISS!! It definitely wasn't the way I planned my first kiss! I can't believe him! He took my first kiss! That git!'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~The next Morning~
'Thank God it's Saturday and we don't have classes. I don't think I could take anymore of the gossiping' Lily Evans thinks as she sits by a pond watching the sunrise. 'I wonder why James wanted me to come here and meet him. I hope he fix this whole big mess. I don't think I can deal with Remus not talking to me'
--Flashback--
"Hi Remus!" Lily said to him at the dinner table. Remus looks at her.
"Lily, I thought you weren't like that." Remus replied
"What! Not you too. Listen none of what James said is real."
"Lily, I don't know. I mean James is my best friend as you are, but. I don't know what to think anymore."
"But Remus......I see." Lily looks heart broken.
--End Flashback--
"GOD THAT STUPID BUTTHEAD!" Lily screamed in frustration.
"You called?" A voice called out.
"Finally you're here. Now what do you want? I have to go to the Library and study so hurry up." Lily asked impatiently.
"What do I want? You're the one that told me to meet here by the pond." James has a confused look on his face.
"huh? I got a note from you saying that you wanted to talk to me."
"I got a note from YOU saying that YOU wanted to talk to me." James told Lily.
"ARGGGG! you keep on wasting my time! What is wrong with you? I wished I had NEVER saved you from drowning!"
"Actually Lils, I've never thanked you for saving me. I'm actually scared of the water. When ever I'm near it, like now, I freak out. Its a miracle I haven't ran away. It must be you Lily. You make me feel calm. Maybe its because you were the one that saved my life." James confessed.
"Then why do you bother me so much! My life is ruined now."
"I'm sorry I really hadn't known that this would happen."
"I guess I can forgive you. I'm going to the Library now since neither of us have anything to say."
"I'll walk you there."
"Okay Thanks."
Meanwhile~
"Hi Remus! What are you doing outside?" Steph asked.
"I just like the cool air outside. It calms me. Anyways, do you know if it's true?" Remus inquired.
"What's true?" Steph asked.
"The whole Lily and James thing. I heard that they kissed and almost had sex too."
"I really don't know. Lily doesn't tell me ANYTHING!"
"Oh, okay I was hoping you would know. I don't know who to believe. My best guy friend or my best girl friend. I'm so confused."
"I'm sorry. hey listen. I think that's Lily and James." Steph pulls Remus down and into a bunch of bushes.
"So Lily why do you say I ruined your life?" Asked James.
"Because YOU stole my first kiss!"
"It was your first kiss?"
"Yes! And I was actually saving it for someone else."
"LILY HAS A CRUSH ON SOMEONE!! WHO WHO WHO???"
"If I tell you will you stop harassing me?"
"Maybe.." Lily hits his head.
"Butthead!"
"Okay, I might stop...okay most likely, its just that I'm so in love with you LILY!!!"
"OMG!" Lily responded.
"Okay I'm sorry I'll shut up now."
"Anyways I like Remus. I've liked him since first year."
"1st year? That's persistent! All those feelings for one of my best friends. Its really Remus?"
"Yes!! And you ruined it because you took my first kiss!" As Remus listens to this, he is shocked.
"Gee, I'm sorry Lils. Why haven't you asked him out yet? You guys are good friends."
"See that's the thing. Every time I see him I'm reminded that we are best friends but nothing more. It hurts when he always said. 'Lily, you're really the best friend a person can have!' I don't want to be friends. I want to be more then friends!"
'Wow, I'm sorry Lily I never knew how you felt about me. I'm sorry I hurt you.' Remus thinks still shocked at the information he has heard.
"Aww....Lils you like Remus. It's so cute. Even if Remus is my best friend. He hasn't said anything yet meaning I CAN STILL WIN YOU OVER! MUAHAHAHAH!"
"God James you are an idiot. Anyways I can manage my way to the Library so Bye."
"Okies c-ya later. I promise I won't say anything to Remus about your secret LOOOOOVVVVVE!" James and Lily disappear into the castle.
Remus still thinks to himself while Steph forms a coy smile on her lips. 'Lily my dear Lily. You've NEVER told me you liked Remus. What kind of friend are you? This is going to be interesting.'
"Steph, I'm going to go inside now. Bye" Remus waves and enters the castle.
"Very Interesting. This is going to be fun!" Steph talks to her self as she walks into the castle as well.

"Sirius! Look at what you did! You had to hit my Quaffle with your broomstick! Now it's in the Atlantic OCEAN! A Quaffle is not the same as a Bludger you git!!!" Screamed a angry James Potter.
"Sorry James! Look lots of muggles go swimming in the Atlantic Ocean so I'm sure you can just change into your bathing suit and get it! It does kind of look like one of those muggle balls and the quaffle does float." Explained Sirius.

She hears a distant yell.
"HELP!" Screamed Peter.
She runs towards the 3 people standing on the shore of the beach.

"Are you implying that I tricked my Best Friend???"
"All I'm saying is that I hate girls that lie especially in relationships. You really should be more like your friend Lily." Having said that, James walked off.
~Later That Day~
"Here Lily! you can have the bag! I don't want it anymore. It is too ugly anyways." Steph threw her bag onto the floor and stormed off.
"Huh? Wait Steph...Charms is the other way!!!" Lily yelled after her. 'Guess she didn't hear me.' (A/N: ' ' means thinking)
'What was that all about? Hey the Ditz, Ditzy, and Ditziest are talking about it.'
"OMG! Did you hear what happened?" Tiffany asked.
"Yes! I heard James blew Steph off! Can you believe it? All over some stupid bag" replied Rachel.
"He said that he wanted it for his sister. Wait a second. I don't think he has a sister!" added Rita.
'HAHAHAHAHA! GO JAMES! Someone FINALLY shuts her down. I swear after all of her love letters her ego was growing way too big. I guess that James ain't so bad. He did see through her act.'
~At Dinner that Day~
"Hi Remus! How have you been?"
"Hi Lily Flower. I've been great. Hey look I have a picture of me, you, Ashley and Mark from over the summer. They are going out now. Isn't that great?"
"Yeah! I really miss Ashley. I can't wait for this summer. Do you have a copy of the picture?"
"Yeah here Lily. Anyways I'll see you later. Dumbledore looks like he's about to say something."
"Hello students! I have an announcement. Our Head girl and boy have decided that we need to acknowledge the love in this school. Which I think is abssurde, since we have MANY couples wandering the halls. May I add that no students are allowed to be out of their rooms after curfew. Anyways we have decided to honor the love in our school by having a love scroll. You may write down the name of you and your lover. Their will be a cutest couple award presented at our Winter Ball which will be held on January 14th. Now BludderDash and eat!"
'A love scroll? I wish Remus and I could be on that. But that's not going to happen any time soon.' Lily was just sitting there daydreaming of all the possibilities. A certain boy noticed. (A/N: No not Remus)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey Lily! Like is it true?" Tiffany asked.
"What are you talking about?" I inquired.
"I'm sure you know what we are talking about. You were the one that wrote it. Like do you really think James would give YOU, a little bookworm, the time of day? Seriously." Rachel added.
"What ARE you talking about!!!" I was fuming. One because they had just insulted me and two they wouldn't tell me what they are talking about.
"The love scroll you freak! What else would we be talking about. Seriously." Rita said giving me a look that meant "I am much better than you and you are SO inferior to me"
"WHAT??" I was so confused. What are they talking about? I ran to the love scroll that was posted in each common room. Among all the small couples' names said:
LILY EVANS AND JAMES POTTER
'OMG Steph must have wrote it!'
"STEPHANIE!! Why did you write that on the scroll?" Lily points at Steph.
"What are you talking about Lillian."
"You wrote that James and I are a couple and we certainly aren't. Besides you're the only one that knows I like him."
"Why would I do something like that. Seriously you told me at Three Broomsticks, anyone could have overheard. You really shouldn't blame your friends" Steph gives Lily a cold look. She turns and walks off holding her head up high.
'WHY THAT LITTLE BITCH! I can't stand her anymore. With friends like her...who needs enemies?' Lily decided to go to her room and hide from all the gossip.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~In the halls~
"OMG! That Lily Evans thinks she's all that. She thinks that James would actually like her. What a whore!" Tiffany said to the rest of her friends.
"Like I know, James definitely can do better then that little skank. He should go out with me." Rachel replied.
"Yeah he's so hott! Does little Evans even think she has a chance." Rita said.
James was walking down the hall when he overheard those girls. 'O god! Give me a break. Those girls drive me insane.'
"Hey girls! Did anyone tell you what a great kisser Lily is?" Having said that James walked off. 'This will give them something to talk about. I hope they don't bother Lily.'
"See I told you guys she's a whore. She just pretends she's a good girl by acting like a book worm." Tiffany said angrily. She spots Lily walking down the hall. "Hey Whore! What are you doing to James!"
"Huh? What did you just call me?" Lily turned around and looked at Tiffany.
"A whore. Seriously you think you can just go out with James for a day and then move on to the next guy, just as long as he gives you gifts and treats you like a princess. Well you can't! We won't let you. Who do you think you are for kissing him!" Rita told Lily.
"What!? ME kiss HIM! Who's been telling you that. Steph?"
"No, not Steph, James. How can you blame Steph. She's such a sweet girl. What kind of friend are you?" Tiffany said.
"JAMES??? Uggg! You guys aren't going to get away from this. I'm going to talk to him!" Just as Lily was about to leave, Tiffany grabbed her arm. During the process, she rips off a keychain containing the picture Remus gave to Lily.
"LET ME GO!" Lily yelled. The Keychain now is on the ground and Tiffany steps on it. Lily sees this and looks pissed off. "Move your leg!" Lily said.
"What? STAY AWAY FROM JAMES!" Tiffany yelled at Lily.
"I SAID MOVE YOUR DIRTY LEG!!!!!!!" Lily now screamed at Tiffany and finally pushed her over. Lily was just about to punch Tiffany when a male voice was heard.
"GO Lily! Do it!!" Lily turned around and saw James Potter leaning against the wall with a smug expression on his face.
"WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING ABOUT! This is ALL your fault!" Lily yelled at him. She let go of Tiffany.
"James help us. You saw what she did to us. She's so horrible." Tiffany complained.
"Sorry but it's a girl thing." James replied. Lily now was in front of James. She then punched him in the stomach.
"OOOOF! What was that for? I thought you were going to beat them up. Not me!"
"Who do you think caused all of this!" Lily grabbed his shirt. "WHEN AND WHERE did I EVER kiss YOU??"
"Four years ago. When you saved me."
"That...That...That wasn't a kiss you idiot! I was trying to save your ass by doing mouth to mouth resuscitation!"
"It still counts doesn't it?"
"NO IT DOESN'T YOU FREAK!" The three other girls over heard.
"What it was mouth to mouth resuscitation? That's hardly a kiss." Tiffany said.
"Come on you guys. I'm hungry. That was such a bad waste of time." Rita said.
"So ALMIGHTY JAMES. Are you going to tell everyone that it was just a rumor and help clean this up?"
"Er..."
"YOU IDIOT! What else have you been telling people. That we had sex too?" Lily was seeing red. She looked at James who gave her a guilty look. "AHH! YOU GIT! I can't believe you!" Lily repeatedly hits James's head. 'Oh no! What if Remus hears about this. Of course Remus is going to hear about this. After all they are best friends.' "JAMES MIDDLE NAME POTTER! I HATE YOU! What am I going to do???" Lily looked like she was about to cry, she slid down the wall landing in a crouching position. James sat down beside her.
"Well, Lily dear, we could turn the rumors into the truth." James said. He looked at Lily to see a confused look on her face. He leans in and unexpectedly kissed her on her lips. He then slowly pulls away. Lily sits there shocked and stunned from the kiss.
"Lils?? hello?" James waves his hand in front of her face. "Wow was I that good? Must be, she is after all speechless. In that case how about another." James leans in for another kiss. This time Lily snapped out of it.
"YOU JERK!!!! ARE YOU STUPID IN THE HEAD OR WHAT????" She takes her books and whacks him in the head. "I SHOULD HAVE LET YOU DROWN! YOU ARE A....A... STUPID BUTTHEAD!"
"Woah, I've been called many things but never..butthead!" James pretends to look hurt. Lily runs off.
'I can't believe that JERK! That stupid kiss.' She wipes the kiss off. Then goes and drinks some water. 'THAT WAS NOT A KISS!! It definitely wasn't the way I planned my first kiss! I can't believe him! He took my first kiss! That git!'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~The next Morning~
'Thank God it's Saturday and we don't have classes. I don't think I could take anymore of the gossiping' Lily Evans thinks as she sits by a pond watching the sunrise. 'I wonder why James wanted me to come here and meet him. I hope he fix this whole big mess. I don't think I can deal with Remus not talking to me'
--Flashback--
"Hi Remus!" Lily said to him at the dinner table. Remus looks at her.
"Lily, I thought you weren't like that." Remus replied
"What! Not you too. Listen none of what James said is real."
"Lily, I don't know. I mean James is my best friend as you are, but. I don't know what to think anymore."
"But Remus......I see." Lily looks heart broken.
--End Flashback--
"GOD THAT STUPID BUTTHEAD!" Lily screamed in frustration.
"You called?" A voice called out.
"Finally you're here. Now what do you want? I have to go to the Library and study so hurry up." Lily asked impatiently.
"What do I want? You're the one that told me to meet here by the pond." James has a confused look on his face.
"huh? I got a note from you saying that you wanted to talk to me."
"I got a note from YOU saying that YOU wanted to talk to me." James told Lily.
"ARGGGG! you keep on wasting my time! What is wrong with you? I wished I had NEVER saved you from drowning!"
"Actually Lils, I've never thanked you for saving me. I'm actually scared of the water. When ever I'm near it, like now, I freak out. Its a miracle I haven't ran away. It must be you Lily. You make me feel calm. Maybe its because you were the one that saved my life." James confessed.
"Then why do you bother me so much! My life is ruined now."
"I'm sorry I really hadn't known that this would happen."
"I guess I can forgive you. I'm going to the Library now since neither of us have anything to say."
"I'll walk you there."
"Okay Thanks."
Meanwhile~
"Hi Remus! What are you doing outside?" Steph asked.
"I just like the cool air outside. It calms me. Anyways, do you know if it's true?" Remus inquired.
"What's true?" Steph asked.
"The whole Lily and James thing. I heard that they kissed and almost had sex too."
"I really don't know. Lily doesn't tell me ANYTHING!"
"Oh, okay I was hoping you would know. I don't know who to believe. My best guy friend or my best girl friend. I'm so confused."
"I'm sorry. hey listen. I think that's Lily and James." Steph pulls Remus down and into a bunch of bushes.
"So Lily why do you say I ruined your life?" Asked James.
"Because YOU stole my first kiss!"
"It was your first kiss?"
"Yes! And I was actually saving it for someone else."
"LILY HAS A CRUSH ON SOMEONE!! WHO WHO WHO???"
"If I tell you will you stop harassing me?"
"Maybe.." Lily hits his head.
"Butthead!"
"Okay, I might stop...okay most likely, its just that I'm so in love with you LILY!!!"
"OMG!" Lily responded.
"Okay I'm sorry I'll shut up now."
"Anyways I like Remus. I've liked him since first year."
"1st year? That's persistent! All those feelings for one of my best friends. Its really Remus?"
"Yes!! And you ruined it because you took my first kiss!" As Remus listens to this, he is shocked.
"Gee, I'm sorry Lils. Why haven't you asked him out yet? You guys are good friends."
"See that's the thing. Every time I see him I'm reminded that we are best friends but nothing more. It hurts when he always said. 'Lily, you're really the best friend a person can have!' I don't want to be friends. I want to be more then friends!"
'Wow, I'm sorry Lily I never knew how you felt about me. I'm sorry I hurt you.' Remus thinks still shocked at the information he has heard.
"Aww....Lils you like Remus. It's so cute. Even if Remus is my best friend. He hasn't said anything yet meaning I CAN STILL WIN YOU OVER! MUAHAHAHAH!"
"God James you are an idiot. Anyways I can manage my way to the Library so Bye."
"Okies c-ya later. I promise I won't say anything to Remus about your secret LOOOOOVVVVVE!" James and Lily disappear into the castle.
Remus still thinks to himself while Steph forms a coy smile on her lips. 'Lily my dear Lily. You've NEVER told me you liked Remus. What kind of friend are you? This is going to be interesting.'
"Steph, I'm going to go inside now. Bye" Remus waves and enters the castle.
"Very Interesting. This is going to be fun!" Steph talks to her self as she walks into the castle as well.
