Met in the Middle
Hey, people. This is my first Lily/James fan fiction so please don't go hard on me.
By the way, J.K. Rowling owns HP, as you all know, bla bla bla.
This meeting I wasn't looking forward to…
Lily's POV
"Uh, Evans? Hello-o? Are you there?" James waved his hand in front of my face. I pushed it out of my way, stood up, and brushed my robes off.
"Yeah. I'm fine. Let's go." I ran ahead of him, trying to avoid him, but I was too late.
"Evans, come on. Please?" He took my hand and put on a puppy dog face.
"I'm not falling for him. I'm not falling for him. I'm not falling for him." I muttered under my breath and yanked my hand out of his.
"How many times do I have to tell you? I'm not going out with you." I said persistently.
"Evans, you do know we have to share a dorm." He said. "We have different rooms, but we share the common room."
"What?" I asked. "No. This cannot be happening! Me? Share a dorm with you? Am I going crazy? This is just a hallucination of mine. Wake up, Lily!" I groaned, face-palming myself. "Whatever. Let's just go." I said. We ran over to the prefect's compartment, out of breath.
"Hey, guys. Sorry we're late. You guys know the rules, but James and I will explain them to you rookies…" I said, out of breath. After we explained the rules, I dismissed them and we were in the compartment, all alone. I was shaking.
"Uh, you're not so bad at this." I said. He looked up at me, surprised. "But that isn't changing my mind any bloody little bit, alright?" I said harshly.
"Yes, ma'am!" He replied. I laughed politely, plastered on a straight face, and straightened out my robes.
"Well, go on." I said. I started heading back to my compartment, but he grabbed me and kissed me, full on the mouth. It took all I had not to kiss him back. I held back mostly because I was getting really angry at him for doing that without even asking. I pulled back and went insane.
"WHAT IN MERLIN'S NAME DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING? DO YOU THINK YOU CAN GO WALTZING AROUND JUST KISSING PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY THE ONES THAT HAVE HATED YOU FOR 6 YEARS? I DON'T THINK SO, JAMES POTTER!" I yelled, spitting fire. I stalked off, leaving him dumbfounded.
James' POV
I was pretty sure that was going to work, and I'm not sure why it didn't. I thought kissing her would knock some sense into that girl, but obviously not.
I can't explain how much I love her. The first time I laid eyes on her, I fell for her. Her shimmery red hair and sparkling green eyes filled with ambition were just…dazzling. Ok, I know I'm being really corny, but it's true.
So I've been a little arrogant and big-headed here and there, but I don't know what she has against me. Padfoot obviously disagrees by the way he smirks when I say I'm not all that arrogant. I told him that I didn't think he should be one to talk. He smacked me across the face. I suppose I deserve that.
I have no idea what to do. I'm at the point that it's hard not to be with her, but she hates my guts. I hate that, if it makes any sense.
Lily's POV
I can't believe he'd do that to me. I just feel so torn. I guess I'll admit that I kind of like him. Ok, fine. The truth comes out: I really like him. I'm really scared to tell Em, Dorcas, and Marlene. They think I hate him to no end. I feel as if I'm in a mess.
For the moment, I'm just going to forget about him.
Keep telling yourself that, Lily. 'Cuz it's never going to happen.
