Changing Lily

Chapter 1 : Meeting Lily


James watched... that was all he could do. He watched as she walked out of his life...

His thoughts came like a brick falling from the top of Gringott's bank. 'She's gone James... they're all gone... you fucked up this time. You always screw up James. You're a nothing...'

He looked down at his arms... his wrists littered with many black plastic bands, spikes, shoelaces, his watch, and her hair band. Her... hair band. It stood out from the black and silver, and the dark blue... it was brown... Muddy Brown... just like her eyes.

He didn't bother to look for her... she was gone and he knew it.

He took the band off, and shot it into the crowd as bodies swayed and bumped and grinded...

The music pumped out of the magic speakers. Techno... James hated it. He could hardly stand it. He sat down on the couch next to some prep chick wearing a green top that said 'Goddess' and a khaki skirt that was short... almost sluttily short. He red hair was curled, falling down around her shoulders. She wore contacts... Blue ones that hid her Emerald eyes. He looked over once, then turned his head back to the crowd, his hand rested against his cheek, and his elbow on the arm of the sofa.

She looked over at James. He was dressed in a pair of black pants, black Chuck Taylors, and a black Slipknot shirt, his disheavled black hair messily falling, down infront of his eyes, some infront of his glasses, some behind.

James sighed, then walked up the stairs, to his room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That night, James dreamt of her... the person who was sitting beside him... but it wasn't the same person. This person was dressed in black, with straight red hair and emerald eyes. Somehow, he knew it was her though. It shocked him... and he awoke covered in sweat.

'It's a sign James... someone's telling you something.'

He went back to sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the morning, James stumbled out of bed into his clothing, then exited the room with his buddies, Sirius and Remus...(Yay, no Peter! That damn rat!)

Sirius was about 6'2"... Skinny, but muscled. His black hair was pulled back into a ponytail, running down between his shoulderblades, however, leaving his bangs in front. The bangs fell to his chin, on either side of his face, halfway covering his black eyes. He dressed similar to James... black pants, black Chuck Taylors, a KoRn t-shirt.

Remus... was 5'10 1/2"... sickly pale, as he always was, his almost white hair spiked up, with black streaks in it. He was thin, not very muscled, his eyes a cobalt blue color. He dressed like Sirius and James. Black pants, black Chucks, with a Linkin Park shirt.

James... was 6' flat... Skinny... more muscled than Remus, but not as much as Sirius.

Anyhow, they entered the Great Hall, that last ones to arrive, but not late... so all eyes diverted to them. James grunted, taking a seat about 10 chairs from the nearest person, Sirius and Remus sitting with him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anyhow, we'll skip ahead to the good part...(Thanks to my buddy Callie Faye who said "What needs to happen is ACTION... I know you need descriptions, but hey, I want to hear bout lily more..." and also "I dont have DUE time, life is short, im almost old enough to drive, BRING IT ON... I aint got time").

James came down from the confines of his room, heading towards the kitchen for a snack, when he was stopped by a noise from the couch. He walked over, knowing it was against his better judgement. What he was was a long slender figure laying on the couch, a pillow clutched against the white oversized t-shirt, her legs bent slightly, the shirt stopping at mid-thigh on her. Her chest shook with silent sobs, an occasional loud one. Her curly red hair was wet with tears in one spot.

Now James... being the softy he is, spoke up.

"Are you okay?"

The flame-haired girl was shocked so much she stopped crying and sat bolt upright, looking at him. Her emerald eyes glistened with tears, he face stained with streaks where the old tears had fallen. " Who a-are you? " She stuttered out.

James frowned... "I asked you first... what's wrong."

"My boyfriend left me for my best friend... and all my other friends sided with her." She sniffled again, clutching the pillow against her chest. She sobbed again...

James couldn't help it... he laughed. She was red with fury...

"WHAT'S SO FUCKING FUNNY YOU REJECT!?" She yelled at him.

"Sorry... " He chuckled shortly... " But I think you don't have any friends judging by that story... " With that he sat beside her...

" I guess you're right... uh... what's you name? "

"James... Potter..." He spoke clearly. " What's your name?"

"Lily Evans... " She said...
