Cruel Words

Walking to the common room with the Maunders on a crisp Tuesday afternoon wasn't what James had wanted to be doing but pranks needed to be planned and Remus had homework, well.. They all did but it isn't due in till Friday, they've all Thursday to do it.

Turning the corner to the right corridor the group of boys stumble onto a rather interesting argument between a very angry Lily Evens and a still greasy looking Snape.

"I never meant to call you Mudblood, it just —

"Slipped out?" Lily interrupted "It's too late. I've made excuses for you for years. None of my friends can understand why I even talk to you. You and your precious little Death Eater friends... You've chosen your way, I've chosen mine." She turns a walks away briskly, Snape looking defeated turns on his heels and seems to slither back towards the dungeons.

"Looks like Snivellus finally took it too far" Sirius sniggered.

"Yeah, dunno why Lily ever bothered with him" said Peter joining him in laughter.

Continuing towards the common room in idle chatter, James spotted Lily's red hair flick around the corner down the corridor towards the kitchens.

"Hey, guys. I'll meet you in the common room yeah?" he said, already leaving them behind.

"Don't do anything I would do!" Sirius shouts after him.

"Well that doesn't leave me much then!" James shouts back laughing to himself.

Focusing his attention back towards the corridor, James begins looking for her.

As he comes upon the kitchens entrance, James finds Lily sitting in front on the door, head on knees sniffing slightly.

"I couldn't remember which one I was supposed to tickle to get in." she whispers, the smile heard before seen.

"Well that's an easy one, the pear right above your head." James says, smirking at her.

"Ah." She utters and lifts her head, blood shot eyes and a gentle smile James couldn't help but fall a little bit in love with.

"So, what happened?" he ask sitting down next to her.

"What? Didn't you hear?" she replied, sarcasm riddled her words.

"Well… yes, but I want to seem rude" he says, grinning back at her.

"James potter? Rude? " She gasped, pressing a hand to her chest in mock surprise.

"Ha Ha. Thank you." James mumbled, rolling my eyes at her.

"Sorry" she sighs, the hurt settling back in her emerald eyes. "I'm just upset right now"

"Well I can see that, he called you a Mudblood huh?" he nudges her shoulder, an attempt to cheer her up, and an excuse to touch her.

Flinching, she sighs.

"How can he says such cruel words to me." She whimpered.

"Cause, he's a bastard?" James could really punch Snape right now, for making her hurt so much. Magic be damned.

"James." She warned.

"Okay okay, sorry." he held his hands up in defeat. "He just didn't know what he had, thought you'd put up with it, but not you. No! Never the feisty Lily evens!" James lifts his arms up, exaggerating the point.

Laughing she stands, extends her hand and lightly touches the pear, the door opens suddenly, causing me to fall back.

"Ouch." James smiled up at lily rubbing the back of his head.

"Come on" she hold out her hand "I want a hot chocolate" James grabbed a hold of her and pulled himself up, not letting go of her hand just yet.

"Sounds good to me!"

A/N~ Hey guys! Ive not been here in a while, I wanted to write more, but I didn't have anything to write about (boo!) so I has a quick search of the forums and came across one called The Ultimate One Shot Challenge.

/topic/139280/94187517/1/Chapter-1

So, I decided to take each prompt, and put the pairings with them (in order, and adding a 19th- rain) and well, here I am! I hope you enjoy them and hopefully I'll upload fairly regularly, so... see you soon!

Edit: I changed from first person perspective cause it was really weird to write and read, I'm going to do this with the next two chapters and continue with the rest of the stories xD
