Chapter Two: Frustration
Two months later...
James Charlus Potter was utterly frustrated. It was nearing the eind of seventh year and Lily sitll would not go out him. He was getting desperate. Prongs had tried everything from flowers, candy, sonnets, to publicly declaring his love for her. Yet, she was not moved. Why won't she give me a chance?
It was dinner in the Great Hall. Lily had just finished her meal and was outside the Heads'common room. Whe he cornered her. She rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"What do you want, Potter?" she asked exaperatedly.
"A chance."
"A chance?"
"Yes."
"No." Lily said simply and bluntly. She turned to go but James grabbed her arm.
"Let me go!" she said as she struggled against him.
"Please, hear me out."
"Why should I?"
"I would do anything in my power for you."
"Potter, let me tell you this in the nicest way possible." He looked hopeful. "We are not compatible. I want, no need, more that what you can offer me."
"What would that be?"
"A soul mate. Do not interrupt me."
"Sorry, please, continute." Lily glared at him.
"Anyway, I crave fulfillment of the highest degree." James eyes widened. "I did not imply anything remotely sexual, but that too, I suppose." He pouted. "I have only platonic feelings for you, at best. That is only what my feelings about you will ever be. I do not wish to hurt you." James looked depressed, but then enraged.
"Yeah, right. I don't want your friendship. I want to be something more to you."
"I cannot give you what isn't yours."
"So there is someone else!"
"No."
"C'mon! You just said that your heart isn't mine."
"I meant, I'm waiting for the One."
"And that would be..."
"Shut up." Lily was beginning to feel nauseous.
"No, I won't. Tell me, who do you think you'll have after you refuse me?" There was a short silence. "Exactly."
"There is someone else."
"Aha! And who is this mysterious man? I'll murder him, I swear..."
"He's better than you."
"Oh, really? How would that be?"
"He..he..OH MERLIN! MOVE OUTTA THE WAY!" she screamed as she ran to the bathroom. James could only stare bewildered after her. That good, eh?
Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue by Gayle Crystal
Don't know when I've been so blue/ don't know what's come over you/ You've found someone new/ and don't it make my brown eyes blue/ I'll be fine when you're gone/ I'll just cry all night long/ Say it isn't true/ and don't it make my brown eyes blue/ Tell me no secrets/ tell me some lies/ Give me no reasons/ give me alibies/ Tell me you love me and don't let me cry/ say anything but don't say goodbye/ I didn't mean to treat you bad/ didn't know just what I had/ But honey now I do/ and don't it make my brown eyes/ don't it make my brown eyes/ don't it make my brown eyes blue
