It was a Friday night in October, Lily and James had been sitting in the Heads Common room and talking for hours, it was nearing midnight. Since the start of term lily and James had started to become closer, they were on first name basis now and they felt as if they could tell each other anything. In fact they had started flirting a lot. The marauders and Lily's friends were quite surprised when they had found out about that. But they were all use to it now.
"The look on Snivellus was priceless" Said James trying to control his laughter
"I know" Lily agreed laughing herself
They were currently talking about the latest prank they had pulled on the Slytherin's; one slytherin is particular, Severus Snape Lily's Ex- best friends and James' Enemy. They continued to laugh. After about 5 minutes of laughing they finally stopped. James' Hazel eyes met Lily's Green ones. Lily smiled but James had a Weird look on his face.
"James what's the matter?" asked Lily curiously
"Huh? – Oh nothing" James said.
Lily looked at him like he was hiding something, but she let it go and they went back to talking. At half past 2 they bid each other a good night and went to bed. Lily couldn't stop thinking about James; she was in love with him. After 4 years of him pursuing her, and her rejecting him she had fallen in love with, like he always said she would every time she turned him down.
James on the other hand was feeling a little guilty, He knew he should tell Lily, but he loved her and couldn't bring himself to do it. But in his defense he couldn't wait forever. Before he went to bed he decided that he would tell her tomorrow.
The next morning Lily woke up, she made up her mind she was going to tell James how she felt. What the worst that could happen? He wouldn't take her seriously. She could handle that. She made her way into their joint bathroom to find James already there brushing his teeth.
"Good Morning James" Lily said happily
"Morning" James replied.
They went back to brushing their teeth in silence, got ready and made their way to the great hall together. It was an unusually silent walk to the great hall. Once they got there they found their friends, Sirius, Remus, Peter (the marauders) Alice, Marlene and Dorcas (Lily's mates) They were all sitting together talking, James sat in-between Sirius and Alice and Lily sat down opposite him in between Marlene and Remus.
Lily said greeted everyone as she sat down, James on the other hand pilled food onto his plate and began to eat. Everyone just looked at him. James didn't notice until Sirius spoke up
"What's wrong mate?" James looked up to see everyone looking at him
"nothing's wrong" James replied and flashed his famous grin, everybody took this as a signal that he was alright except Sirius and Remus who gave him a knowing look and continued to eat, talk and laugh with their friends.
After breakfast all eight of them made their way to Transfiguration. Sirius and Remus hung back so they could talk to James more privately.
"Prongs mate, what's the matter?" asked Sirius
"I'm going to tell Lily about me and Amy" James stated
Sirius looked at him shocked, while Remus added
"Good! Prongs I think you should tell her too"
They continued on their way to Transfiguration.
After Breakfast Lily, Marlene, Alice and Dorcas were walking together to transfiguration the Marauders were following closely behind.
"Lily, why the devilish grin" Asked Alice
Marlene and Dorcas looked at Lily awaiting an answer.
"I'm going to tell James" Lily replied
Alice squealed and Marlene And Dorcas Smiled at Lily, Lily's face turned red at Alice's reaction.
"It's about time don't you think" said Marlene and Dorcas nodded in approval.
Professor McGonagall was lecturing them on Human Transfiguration. Lily was taking notes went she felt someone's eyes on here, she looked up and saw James looking at her. She smiled at him and James returned a weak smile before she looked back down and continued taking notes.
The rest of the day Past quiet normally except for James' usual cheeriness, But he'd add a joke here and there. They were walking back from double potions when Alice asked
"Lily, when are you going to tell him"?
"Now"
Alice, Marlene and Dorcas smiled and so did Lily,
The marauders left double potions together, Lily and her friends were just a little ahead of them but well out of earshot.
"Prongs, when are you going to tell her" Sirius asked
"Now"
Remus and Sirius looked at each other and then prongs, Peter completely lost in the whole conversation.
They caught up with the girls and started talking. Halfway back to the Gryffindor Sirius and Alice both said
"Don't you guys have to go to the heads common room" Sirius and Alice looked at each other a little shocked, Lily Blushed and James just Nodded. Before they departed Alice winked at Lily. They left their friends and walked towards the Heads common room.
"Lil-" "Jam-" they both spoke at the same time.
They looked at each other and both cracked a smile
"You go first" James said
Lily smiled and continued "James I need to tell you something"
James looked at Lily curiously "Oh? What?"
"Well it's not easy and you might not take me seriously, but promise me you won't laugh in my face"
"I promise" he said solemnly
"Well I know that everything that has happened between us has been so great until this year but I have rea-"
"Lemons" James said.
Lily looked confused until she realized that they had already reached the head common room. 'Lemons' was the password.
"Sorry Lils, you were saying"
"Yeah, Look this isn't easy for me so I'm just going to say it, James potter I have hated your guts for the best parts of the last 6 years but something has changed, I think about you when I shouldn't be I smile when I hear your name and I can't wait to come back to the common room to find you here and talk to you. I love talking to you and laughing with you and I think I have fallen in love with you" Lily concluded with a smile on her face.
James just started at her shocked. He could not believe this was happening Lily Evans the girl of hi dreams has just told him she has fallen for him and he is dating someone else. That's just great. He didn't know what to say. He open and closed his mouth until Lily spoke up
"Err- James?"
"Lily I like someone else" James blurted out.
Lily felt her face fall, she was not longer smiling she could feel her eyes burning, No she would not cry in front of James potter because of James potter. She would not.
"Lily I'm dating Amy. We have been dating for the past 2 weeks."
"Okay" Lily said trying to sound Nonchalant but failing miserably, she turned on her heel and walk up the staircase towards her dormitory as fast as she could without it looking like she was running.
"Lily wait" James said. Lily ignored him and continued walking the tears were on the rims of her eyes. She wouldn't let him she her like this. She walked into her room and locked the door and cried her heart out.
James followed after her and tried opening her door but it was locked he could hear her crying inside. He had made Lily cry. What was he going to do? She was never going to speak to him now.
He walked out of his Dormitory and ran towards the Gryffindor common room. The rest of the Marauders and Lily's Friends were sitting but the fire and talking. As soon as James walked in, they as turned to look at him, When Sirius saw the look on his face he immediately got up and walked over to where James was standing
"Prongs what happened?"
"Padfoot she told me, She told me and I'm with Amy and it ruined and she walked away and crying and I ran here and I don't know what to do. HELP" Said James, practically yelling.
"Wait, what?"
"She told me she had fallen in love with me, I told her I love someone else she walked up to her dormitory and locked the door I followed her up and heard her crying I told her I was dating Amy"
Marlene and Alice had heard everything about what had happened they threw James a dirty look and walked out of the common room together. Dorcas was in conversation with Remus looked up and asked what happened.
"Go to the heads common room. The password is lemons" Said James Dorcas looked at him but did as he said.
The four marauders went up to the seventh year boys dorm and James began to tell Remus what happened. Remus looked as shocked as James did when he had heard everything.
"What am I going to do" whined James
"Look calm down Prongs, You have been after her for 6 years she has turned you down countless number of times and made you hurt as well, why should she expect you to be free when it's convenient for her? You can't just do what she asks and you can't always do everything right. It is her fault that she realized that she was in love with you when you were dating someone else. So I say that you shouldn't do anything. Continue to date Amy cause you like her and Let Evans figure out what to do" Finished Sirius
The remaining Marauders just looked at him in shock. That Sirius Black had actually said something seriously.
"I think I kind of agree with Sirius" added Remus. Sirius smiled triumphantly
"Plus wasn't she dating that Thomas guy?" asked Sirius
"She wasn't really serious with him, he irritated her a lot" James said
"but she is still technically dating him?" Sirius asked
"Technically, but she hasn't spoken to him in weeks so according to her she's broken it off"
"Yeah But according to him?" Sirius added.
"Look Prongs you have done nothing wrong, I know you really like her but you have to show her that you're not always going to do what she wants give it a week and see what happens" Remus said "that is my opinion" he added.
"I think I'll just leave things as they are for sometime" James said as he walked out of the dormitory to the great hall for dinner.
'LILY, LILY OPEN UP. PLEASE. JAMES ISN'T HERE" Said Marlene, Alice and Dorcas.
Lily got off of her bed and went to unlock her door. She let them in and walked back to her bed and covered herself from head to toe.
"Oh Lils, what happened?" Alice said
Lily continued to sob in to her pillow. Marlene went and sat by her head and started to stroke he hair. "Come on Lils you can tell us" She said.
"I told him that I had fallen for him and he said that he was in love with someone else" Lily sobbed.
Alice, Marlene and Dorcas all started shouting obscenities. Lily let out a little giggle but went back to being miserable. Alice, Marlene and Dorcas stayed with her until dinner consoling her. When it came time for dinner she told them all to go on, and that she wasn't hungry. They gave her a knowing look but knew she wanted to be alone so left her to be.
Lily lay on her bed for a very long time thinking about everything that had happened that day, she thought about James reaction to everything she had said. It had hurt her when he told her he was in love with someone else, but it wasn't really his fault. He had chased after her for 6 years she couldn't really expect him to wait for her forever. But it really irked her that he was flirting with her while he was in love with Amy. She fell asleep thinking about James.
Lily hadn't been at the great hall with her friends. Whenever he looked towards them they would throw him a dirty look and look away, dinner was nearly ending an there was no sign of Lily so he got up and walked over to Marlene, Alice and Dorcas
"Where is Lily?"
"In her dormitory" replied Marlene
"is she not coming to eat?"
"Nope" Said dorcas
"Ok" said James as he walked back to the marauders, Remus looked up at his as he walked back
"What happened, Prongs?" Remus asked?
"She's not coming down to eat" said James uneasily. Remus just gave him a sympathetic look.
They left the great hall 10 minutes later and made their way back to the Gryffindor tower. Instead of sitting in the common room by the fire they went and sat in the seventh year boys dormitory. Peter went and flopped on his bed, Remus took out a book and sat on his, while James and Sirius sat on the floor at the foot of James' old bed. They were all just talking about random things when Remus reminded James about his rounds tonight.
James walked out of the Gryffindor common room and went towards the Heads common room. When he entered he saw Marlene, Alice and Dorcas sitting by the fire chatting away. He walked up to his room and got ready for rounds and came back down, he was just about to walk up towards Lily's room when he heard Marlene say
"Where do you think you're going toe-rag?"
"Err- I'm going to call Lily, we have rounds tonight" James said.
"That's not a good idea. I'll go ask her" Marlene said making her way past James up the stairs
James just looked at Dorcas and Alice, Dorcas glared back, while Alice shot him an apologetic look. Marlene came down within 5 minutes say Lily was sleeping and she didn't want to wake her up. James looked around wondering what he was going to do all alone, Suddenly Alice spoke up
"James' I'll come with you if you want'
"Cool" James said as they made their way to the portrait hole. Marlene and Dorcas shooting confused glances at Alice, Alice just smiled and said
"Hey you guys Lily's asleep now, I'll meet you guys back at the common room"
They started their rounds silently, about 10 minutes into the job Alice asked
"James, I know you Love Lily so why tell her you Love someone else?"
"Look I've loved Lily a long time, but nothings every happened and when Amy asked me out I thought why not, it would be nice to have a girlfriend"
"Oh"
"It's just my and her bad luck that everything happened like this"
Alice nodded and they continued in silence, James thought about Lily for the rest of rounds Making very little conversation with Alice, it was so stupid. He love lily! He always had and he had turned her down Because of Amy, whom he had barely talked to all day. By the time they finished it was 12:30 James Bid Alice a good night and made his way to the Heads common room. He walked in went up to his room changed and then walked into their adjoining bathroom, and started brushing His teeth. When he was done he walked out of the bathroom, not before he slipped "FUCK" James yelled.
"FUCK" … Lily awoke with a start; James had yell woke her up. She sat up in her bed and he stomach started rumbling. She looked down at her stomach, she was starving. She checked the time it was 12:45 Maybe she could sneak down to the kitchens and get something to eat. She got out of her bed and made her way down the steps the common room was dark, She had made it half way down the stairs when she tripped on a step and tumbled down the rest of the stairs. "OUCH" she yelled and crept out of the common room towards the kitchens.
Lily opened the door to the kitchens after tickling the pear and found Sirius sitting there with a huge tub of ice cream in front of him. Before lily could walk away unnoticed Sirius said "LILYKINS how nice of you to join me" Lily just looked at him as he motioned for her to sit down.
"Now first Lilykins what can the midgets get for you?"
"Dinner, I'm starving" Lily replied watching the house elves scurry away
"Yes, and why didn't you come to dinner with the rest of us?" Inquired Sirius
"Cause I wasn't in the mood too!"
"And why not Lily dearest?"
"Because I'm too embarrassed to show my face, top anyone, Including you. But here I am"
"Lily, it's ok! You know. Stuff happens"
Lily just looked at him. He looked back at her and said. "Look, Lily I know what you told James must have taken you a lot of courage and the way he reacted and told you about Amy was not exactly the right thing, but did you honestly think he would wait around for you forever?. He's loved you since first year and you've shot him down and embarrassed him ever since. In public might I add? I believe what happened between you and him, was only witnessed by you two."
"Yes I know Sirius I know what I did and I remember it clearly, and I'm not pissed that he's dating someone else I'm pissed that he was flirting with me while he was dating Amy. And I know that I can't expect him to wait for me. But I'm just hurt that I took me all this time to realize what's been in front of me for the past 6 years."
"Ok! I'm going to tell you what I think but don't get your hopes up okay?"
"okay" Lily replied with a little hope in her voice
"I think he is only dating her cause he couldn't get you, I think he is dating her cause he wanted to feel loved and cared about and he wasn't getting that from you, and I know that when he came to me earlier this evening I told him that he should make you suffer but honestly seeing you suffer shows me that you really do like him a lot and I shouldn't stop the both of you from being happy"
"You wanted me to suffer?" Lily asked
"Well yeah! You made Prongs suffer for all that time, I thought you should get a taste of your own medicine."
"Fair enough"
Lily and Sirius both finished their meals and walked towards their common room, before the parted way Sirius reminded lily
"Hey Lils whatever I told you, keep it to yourself, I'll kick James back to his original path" Sirius winked and walk away. Lily just smiled and walked back to her Dormitory.
