Just an idea I had so I started writing it.
FIGHTING FOR DESIRED LOVE
CHAPTER II: Flashback - Lily Passes Out
"James? Do you remember how much we would fight when we were young? Oh lord! That was such a naïve time."
"No Lily, I don't remember. I don't remember because we never fought. You simply fought me; I however only fought for my desired love."
"You have a point. Maybe I should have remained friends with Severus."
"Are you saying you would rather be friends with him, then be married to me?" he said shocked.
"I don't know. Maybe we could have worked it all out, so that everyone could be happy."
"Sure," he said sarcastically.
"You're right. That does seem a bit unrealistic," she said. "But I don't see why you had to be so mean to him all the time. He really wasn't a bad guy at all."
"Anybody who is keeping you away from me is a bad guy."
JAMES
Uhhh…there's Severus again, flirting with my Lily. Why can't he just leave her alone? Can't he see that she doesn't see him as anything but a friend? I wonder what he's saying.
LILY
"That's very interesting Severus. I'm sure that one day you would make a magnificent professor for Defense against the Dark Arts. You're very talented in that area," I said to my best friend.
"I hope I one day could. I'm sure Professor Dumbledore would find it appropriate, with my grades in that subject. He wouldn't be able to refuse it!"
"Well, what about Potions? You're great in that subject. Your grades are higher than anybody who's ever gone to Hogwarts. I don't know how you do it. If it weren't for you being my partner in that subject I'd probably be failing."
"Ya, well, Defense against the Dark Arts is much more interesting than Potions." And he said that last word in disgust. "I've been cursed with a gift in that class, my rotten mother's fault."
"Severus! Don't you say that! I've met your mother and she happens to be a wonderful person! I never want to hear you say something like that again. Goodbye, Severus. I'll talk to you later…much later."
"Oh come on, Lily! You know I didn't really mean it. Come back Lily," he said pulling my arm back.
I wrenched my arm out of his grip. The nerve! "Goodbye Severus," I said once again, but this time emphasizing each syllable. I walked away furiously, accidentally knocking into Potter on my way to the Gryffindor common room to be away from a certain Slytherin. My head hit his hard. I heard my books fell and thump I went down too.
JAMES
"Oh, Lily! Hello? Are you okay?" I said looking her up and down. "Hullo? Lily? Sirius get the nurse I think she's passed out."
"Alright mate. Wow, the only time you get her to be with you for more than half-a-minute she's passed out. Lucky boy you are," Sirius said laughing and leaving to fetch the nurse. I groaned at him, he knew how much I liked her; the least he could do is act like there was hope.
In a matter of minutes the nurse appeared with a stretcher, and it all seemed as though the hit had damaged some part of her instead of just having knocked her out for what would probably be only a few minutes. "James," she said to me, "how did this happen?"
"Well, she was walking, not looking where she was going, and looking very mad by the way, and she just knocked into me. It was a complete accident."
"Well you have quite a hard head there. She may be out for an hour or two. Can you help me lift her on to here?" she said trying to lift Lily's body, I bent down and helped her. I could not believe it I was touching her beautiful waist, lifting her beautiful body. She looked more asleep than having just bashed her head against mine. She looked beautiful sleeping.
"Then," she continued after having put Lily on the stretcher, "You can wheel her to the infirmary and help me out a bit."
"Alright," I said.
"You're going to have to be there when she wakes up, Potter. Explain the whole situation to her. I'll write a note to the professors telling that you are here with me helping until Lily Evans wakes up after having passed out. You don't mind that do you?"
"No, not at all," I said more casually than I really felt inside. The truth was I was ecstatic I should be there when she would wake up. The entire time I would be watching her, waiting to see when she would wake up; her luscious red hair against her fair-white skin-
"Well what are you waiting for?" The nurse said breaking me away from my thoughts of Lily. "Let's take her up."
I followed Madam Pomfrey to the location of the elevator, which was only used in these types of situations. And then when we arrived in the infirmary, she had me help all the others in the infirmary. I had to feed a few, and check some of their temperatures, it was really rather disgusting. Some would spit out their food and I was the one to have to clean it up. I awaited the moment when Lily would wake up. Why had it been taking so long? Didn't the nurse say she would be out for only an hour or perhaps two? It had now been three-and-a-half hours.
"Uhhhhhh…"
What was that was she waking up? Had that been Lily?
LILY
"Uhhhhhh…uhhhhhh…my head…Where am I? What happened?" I said trying to lift my head up but not succeeding. I felt so lightheaded. I couldn't remember what had just happened. What had just happened?
"Lily? Are you up?" I heard a voice asking me. I didn't recognize it, but I didn't want to open my closed eyes. I would surely feel even dizzier if I would open my eyes, right? Isn't that what usually happens?
"Uh huh."
"Lily? It's James. You slammed into me about three-and-a-half hours ago. Your head hit mine, and you passed out. Do you feel okay?"
"No, you're here. It is James Potter isn't it?"
"Yes."
"Go away then. I can handle myself," I said opening my eyes and trying to lift my oh so heavy head. I failed once again, and had to lay my head against the pillow again. "Could you get me a glass of water, please…?" I saw James getting up to get water. "I meant Madam Pomfrey. I don't want water from you, Potter."
"Madam Pomfrey went out to get more skelegrow, she's left me in charge until she returns. So if you really want water, I'll be the one to get it for you."
"Fine," I grumbled.
James went to the other side of the room, and filled a glass with water and ice. He came back with the water and handed it to me. "Here you go, my sweet," he said trying to be smooth. Well, he could keep trying but it would never seem smooth to me.
"Don't call me that," I muttered.
"Why not?" he said. "I thought you cared for me just as I care for you."
"In your dreams Potter. You can leave me to rest, you know. I think I'll sleep till I feel…less lightheaded."
"Have sweet dreams," he said. Yuck! Why did he have to have the biggest crush of life on me? It was just not meant to be. Clearly he could not see that.
"Well, I'll tell you one thing," I said and I saw interest in his eyes now. He must have thought I was going to change my mind now. Ya right! "If they have anything to do with you they won't be a bit sweet."
His interest was gone and a frown appeared on his flawless face. I snickered a bit and closed my eyes to fall asleep. This was much too fun. He would have to learn sooner or later that we couldn't and shouldn't be together…ever. I hope he would see that soon, it was too much work trying to run away all the time, when he just wouldn't stop. I felt my head being cleared and then…sleep.
JAMES
Why?! Why must she hate me so? I put so much work into trying to be the guy of her dreams, and she doesn't notice. Severus! He just gets in the way. Oh! Why doesn't she see that he is in love with her too? She doesn't see that. She'll never see me. I have to do something. But what?
I just started writing this and I'm not sure if it's any good so please review. I need to know if I should continue writing it.
