The End of Another Year
Lily Evans has disliked James Potter ever since first year when he and his friends turned her skin purple during Transfiguration. Ever since then she has despised him with all her might. In their #rd year James came up to her and asked her out, Lily thinking this was a sick joke said no and continued to say no after that. As the years when on James asking Lily out. It became a routine, he would ask her out and she would say no. So at the end of 6th year James promised himself that he would for the following and last year and make Lily realize they were meant to be.
"Moony I think he has gone off his rocker this time" Sirius Black stated as he watched James stare uncontrollably at Lily.
"He doesn't even realize what he's doing. It's like he isn't even here!" Remus Lupin said as he moved his hand over his friends face to see if he was totally out of it.
"Hey, Lily, I guess my brother hasn't come to his senses, he is still drooling over you" Kaylee Potter announced as she watched her brother focus all his attention on her best friend Lily.
"I don't know how to make it any clearer to him, I mean he has been following me around all year. Can you talk to him over the summer maybe try to talk some sense into him?" Lily asked her friend desperately.
" No can do Lils, that's your job not mine. You should feel lucky you don't have to spend the summer with those crazy lunatics all summer. Oh, that reminds me Lily. Do you, Alice, and Jamie want to spend some of summer at my house? We could go swimming and play Quidditch. Mum said she could take us all to Diagon Alley to get our things while you're there too."
"It would mean getting away from Petunia, so I'm in." Lily proclaimed.
" I bet my parents would let me" Alice unsurely said to Kaylee.
"I'm in," Jamie said "My brothers drive me crazy over the summer."
When Lily turned her head to see if James was still staring at her, their eyes locked for a moment until Lily broke the connection slightly pink in the cheeks. Lily didn't know why James was always staring at her, maybe he did really care for her.
"No James doesn't like you, he's just playing with your head. All you are to him is another notch to his belt" Lily thought is disgust.
When Lily turned back around she scowled and took a bite into her bacon. Why would she even think that James Potter was sincere he was Marauder, a player and everyone knew that.
"Hey Kaylee babe I can't wait till we get to your place and have some summer fun" Sirius Black said while giving Kaylee a sexy grin and putting his arm around her.
Kaylee had long dirty blonde hair with a slim body. She had baby blue eyes that guys couldn't resist. She was hit on by a lot of guys but could never keep a lasting relationship. Like Kaylee, Sirius went out with every girl he could but never made a attempt to make a relationship last. The only girl that had ever turned him down was Kaylee and he intended on changing that. Unlike Kaylee, Jamie had black hair with hazel eyes. She had a killer smile that lit up every room. Alice on the other hand was shy and had short blonde hair. The only guy she ever liked was Frank Longbottom who liked her too. Lily with her fiery red hair and her emerald green eyes got some boys attention but not as much as Kaylee.
" Get away from me Black just because we are living together doesn't mean I have to be nice to you" Kaylee said while kicking his shin and moving to the other side of the compartment next to Jamie.
" Padfoot leave my sister alone before she does some real damage to you" James chuckled while watching Sirius hold his shin in pain.
" You know I won't give up on you Kaylee like how Prongs won't give up on Lily" Sirius said making Kaylee scowl in disgust. "By the way Prongs where is Evans anyways?"
"She and Moony are patrolling the train with the other prefects." James proclaimed knowingly
"Have you ever thought of finding someone that actually likes you James?" Jamie asked.
"No I haven't, trust me next year Lily will see how much I've changed" James stated.
"So Alice, are you and Jamie coming to my place this summer?" Kaylee asked changing the subject.
"I can't mother wants me to spend as much time with her over the summer." Alice murmured.
"My parents are leaving next week for France for 2 months so yes I'm allowed to go" Jamie said.
"Of course the more the merrier maybe we can convince Lily to come then too." Kaylee said happily.
"Ask me what?" Lily said walking into the compartment with Remus.
"If you can come for the whole summer" Kaylee said.
"How bout I come in 2 weeks so I have some time with my parents. Is that alright?"
"Yeah. Also, Alice why don't we meet up in Diagon Alley so at least we have some time during the summer to hang out together." Kaylee asked eagerly.
"I'll see what mum says and I'll write when I know." Alice said hopefully.
"Good" Kaylee said cheerfully.
When they came out of the platform they said their goodbyes. When Lily came to say goodbye to James instead of giving him a hug like everyone else she put out her hand and he shook it in disappointment.
"See you soon Evans" James said letting go of her hand.
"I guess so Potter" Lily said thinking to herself how warm his hand was.
As Lily turned as was walking towards her mom, dad, and sister Lily thought
He didn't even try anything. At least that's a start!
"Lily dear I've missed you so much" Lily's mom sobbed pulling her into a tight squeeze.
"I've missed you to mom!" Lily said "But the thing is I'm leaving in 2 weeks for my friend Kaylee's house so I can spend the time with my friends. Is that ok?"
"Of course it is sweetheart we were your age once we understand your friends are very important to you" Lily's dad said giving her a hug.
"Thanks daddy I'm glad you understand. Hi Petunia, how are you" Lily said focusing her attention on her uncomfortable looking sister.
"I got engaged to Vernon and the wedding is next summer" Petunia said bragging thinking it would get to Lily because she didn't have a boyfriend.
"That's wonderful Petunia1 I'm so happy for you" Lily said looking at the smirk on Petunia's face fade.
"Well lets get going shall we" Mrs. Evans said putting her arm around Lily's shoulder.
" So Lily what do you want for dinner, your choice?" Mr. Evans asked after starting up their car.
"I don't care, it's up to you." Lily said shrugging her shoulders.
"Lily honey you seem distracted is there anything wrong?" Mrs. Evans asked with concern in her voice.
"No just thinking" Lily replied.
I wonder what James is thinking about right how?
James POV
When Lily held out her hand James wasn't surprised but he was surprised how good it felt to hold her hand. He could see her slightly blushing when she turned around to find her family.
"James Potter get over here let me take a good look at you" Mrs. Potter demanded while James spun around for her. Joan Potter had raven black hair like James but with baby blue eyes like her daughter.
"Hey mom, I missed you" James said while giving her a hug.
"Joan give the boy a break. Hey there James how was school?" Richard Potter asked James while giving him a light hug.
"Hey dad. It was good, still have good grades and everything." James proclaimed while his mother was fussing over Sirius.
"Hi Mrs. Potter, thank you so much for letting us stay for the summer" Sirius said while being given a tight squeeze by Mrs. Potter.
"Nonsense your practically family to us. Kaylee you said 3 of your friends were staying some point this summer correct?" Mrs. Potter asked Kaylee while trying to tame James's hair.
"Only 2, Jamie is coming next week and Lily is coming in 2 weeks but Alice's mother wouldn't let her stay at all" Kaylee said while giving her dad a hug.
"Ok I will make sure the house elves have their rooms ready by the time of their arrival. Remus dear where have you been I haven't seen you?" Mrs. Potter asked giving Remus a hug.
"Sorry Mrs. Potter I had to check in with the Head Boy telling him if any one got in trouble on the train" Remus said breaking away from his hug with Mrs. Potter.
"So lets get going boys we need to feed you" Mrs. Potter said "Oh yes and you too Kaylee" after Kaylee gave her a dirty glare.
"Hey Prongs do you think I have a chance with your sister" Sirius asked James during dinner at the Potter Mansion.
"Not a chance Padfoot. My sister dates a lot of guys like how you date a lot of girls. She doesn't go out with guys like you. She is the one who breaks the heart not the guy" James said taking a sip of his pumpkin juice.
"James honey is there something wrong, you haven't touched you food all night?" Mrs. Potter asked with concern in her voice.
"Fine mother just thinking" James replied
I wonder what Lily is doing right now?
