A/N: After reading all of the L/J stories, I felt angry that all of the 'girlfriends' of James before Lily were portrayed as horrible people. I wanted to give them some recognition and show that they aren't all bitches.
Disclaimer: Only Melody is mine.
I am me
"I'm sorry Melody, it's just not working." I heard the sincerity in the voice of James Potter.
"That's okay, I knew this was coming. I was counting and enjoying the time I had with you." I slowly got up and brushed the grass off of my skirt.
"I really am-" I cut him off.
"Look, the whole school knew that you were meant to be with Lily Evans. I guess I just had a silly notion that maybe I could break that." I was not going to shed a tear.
"You are a wonderful person; there are tons of guys waiting to be with you!" James was sweet.
"Thanks for the time, I enjoyed it greatly and, Lily is in the library, you might want to go to her." I put on my best fake smile.
I walked away.
James and Lily were meant to be.
Down the hill, straight through the city and up the Hogwarts courtyard, I walked silently thinking.
I, Melody Finch, thought that I could get James Potter to be fully mine.
How silly.
I knew after a few weeks of dating James that he was never mine.
He was and always will be in love with Lily Evans.
I was just the filler, the plot- thickener, the girl- who- got- in- the- way, the wrong one.
Sure I was upset, but I knew that it was my "job" to make James realize that he loved Lily.
I was not jealous; I was in a weird way glad.
I did my job.
My heart was broken in the process, but I saved the "golden- couple".
I was smart, pretty (to an extent), and I was a kind person.
I was not the bitchy, slutty whore that got in the way…
But, the average girl.
I had friends, and I had some boyfriends.
But, I was nothing super…
I am just Melody Finch, the brown haired, brown eyed average girl.
I am me.
