Potter vs. Evans
by S. L
"Bite me," Lily said trying to pull away.
"Maybe I will," James said trying to go in the opposite direction.
Pulling at their limits, the bond snapped and they both went crashing into each other.
After nearly a quarter of an hour of arguing and pleading, listening while the class laughed, Mandrake had forced both of them into the spell. They had only just left class, and already they were sick of one another. They kept trying to get away from the other, but the harder they tried, the harder they fell.
"You guys should just give up," Sirius said, who was also on the floor. Except in his cause he was rolling about in laughter.
"Evil that woman," James said trying to stand up. "Positively evil." Then he fell back down, as Lily was still on the floor and he had tried to stand up.
"OUCH!" Evans groaned as James landed right one top of her. "Can't you be a little more careful?"
Remus sighed and helped both of them up. "I think you are both going to have to learn to be more careful."
"It can't be that bad," Anne said sighing.
Lily glared at her friend. "Of course you'd think so. Being chained to any guy is probably you biggest dream."
Hearing this, Sirius wrapped his arm around Anne's shoulder and smiled down at her. "Oh really?"
Anne giggled and pushed him off. Emily snorted. "Honestly."
"Fine, I'll be more careful," Evans tugged on his arm. "C'mon Potter, we're going to the library. I have some research to do."
He tugged back. "No we're going to Quidditch practice."
"No," she tugged back. "I don't like Quidditch we're going to the library."
"Don't like Quidditch," Sirius exploded. "You're insane!"
"So what if I don't like Quidditch, I want to go to the library," she tugged furiously on James arm, who pulled back.
"I'm not going to the library Evans," James made a face. "Who wants to study on a Friday night?"
"I do," she snapped. "We've a potions test on Monday. It wouldn't be a bad thing for you to study either you know."
"I do fine on my own thank you."
"Oh really? You probably cheat."
"Me- cheat? How dare you Evans. After all your the one who always asks me to do their Transfigurations homework."
"I don't ask you to do my Transfigurations homework! I tell you to do yours!"
"Oh... right- but that's beside the point!"
"Is it? It would do you some good if you actually worked. Though I know your used to being 'Perfect Potter,' don't worry, that won't last long. I've only been here a few months, but just wait until the end of this year."
"'Perfect Potter?' Really Evans, flattery doesn't get you anywhere."
"Flattery?" Evans said practically launching herself at him.
Sirius held her back loosely and smirked at Remus. "Like an old married couple already."
The direction of her wrath changed immediately and Evans spun around and began attacking Sirius. James found himself on the floor again as they lost their balance. Sirius jumped away.
"Tou-ch-y," he said fingering the red mark that was spreading across his face. Evans had hit him.
A little fed up with his friend as well, James freed his led and kicked him. "That's for saying I could ever marry a thing like that."
Amazingly Evans chose to ignore that comment. "Up Potter," she said, helping them both up. "I want to get as far away from your annoying friends as possible."
When they had both regained their balance they turned on their friends. Without knowing it, they both nodded to emphasize their point and stalked off, trying to stay steady.
The group burst into laughter behind them.
"Urgh!" Evans said letting off steam as they marched off. "I don't know how you can stand to be friends with that idiot Potter."
"Well you're friends with Snape aren't you?" He said just as angrily.
"Oh shove it Potter, I can be friends with whomever I want."
"Well, then me too."
They walked on for another few minutes then Evans stopped, causing James to run into a wall.
"Good one Evans real nice."
"Where are we going?" She asked, ignoring him.
He shrugged. "I dunno. I was just walking.
"Brilliant as always Potter."
James smiled. "Thanks."
For the first time since they had known each other Evans gave him a genuine smile. Then as if realizing what she was doing she scowled. "You really are an idiot sometimes."
"Only sometimes?" He complained as they walked off again. "Let's go to the common room then, but I'm NOT going to the library. Have you any idea what's in there?"
"Books?" She asked sarcastically.
James shivered. "Yes," Evans chocked. "It's the most horrible thing in the world."
Evans just laughed and dragged him off in the direction of the common room. James sighed, she had a pretty laugh...
"Pig snout," he woke out of his daze in time to hear Evans give the password. It had been 'pig snout' ever since she had cursed him on the train. The Head Boy's idea of a joke no doubt.
Their friends were all in the common room already. The Marauders all circled around the fire, and Evans' friends on the opposite side of the room playing chess. Both made to walk towards their usual groups and... once again landed on the floor.
James was really getting sick of constantly landing on his bum.
Hearing Evans' string of curses and James' own groaning their friends peered over at them and began laughing.
"Twits," he heard Evans say.
"What do you say we just go to our room then?" James said, not at all feeling like being nice to his so called friends right now.
"Best idea you've ever had Potter," she said.
James turned over and helped Evans up and they stalked up the stairs.
"Mandrake said our room was... Oh there it is!" Evans said pointing at a room that definitely hadn't been there this morning. They had only gone up one flight of stairs, and there in between the split in the stairs that led to the boys and girls dorms was a door. The plaque on the front read: Potter & Evans.
James snorted. "Potter vs. Evans is more like it."
Evans nodded in agreement and opened the door.
The room was a much smaller version of the dormitories. Two four poster beds lay head to head, a desk hat sat two was on the far wall and a door that opened to the closet lay to the left. The closed door to the right could only be the bathroom.
James sighed, this was probably where they were going to be spending a lot of time. He looked around again and noticed that their trunks had been slid under their bed.
"What time does this feast start?" Evans asked as both she and James threw themselves on their beds. He noticed that there was just enough room for them to sleep comfortably.
"In about forty minutes," he answered grumpily. He didn't like the idea of spending forty minutes, let alone who knew how many days. Suddenly feeling very sulky and very cheated he crossed his arms across his chest and pouted like he had when he was little. "This is so unfair!"
"Lily- take Harry and go!" She didn't want to leave, she wanted to stay here. He couldn't be left alone. She couldn't be without him.
"No, I won't leave you!" She hugged her baby, Harry.
"Hurry Lily he's coming, please!" He sounded frantic now, she couldn't leave him though. If she didn't go though, he'd get Harry. She couldn't let Harry die.
"But- I love you..." Pushing away her tears she ran from the room, looking for a place to hide.
The sound of shouted curses echoed through her ears, but she didn't acknowledge any of them. She knew the one that would end it all.
A cold piercing chill ripped through her at the sound of that high evil laughter. Then suddenly there was a blast of sharp green light. She clutched the baby closer to her chest and looked for a way to run.
"Step aside you silly girl!"
He'd found her. A chill ran down her spine, she knew what was next. She was going to die just as her husband had.
"Never!"
The laughter filled the air again, and he pointed his wand straight at her heart. She caught a glimpse of a pale snake like face and those hard red eyes. She knew what would happen. She would die like James, and Harry... Harry would be killed by the most evil beast in the world. Lord Voldermort.
"Avada Kedavra!"
The curse ripped through her, no matter how desperately she tried to hold on.
The last fleeting thought through her dying mind was Harry. She loved him with all her heart and soul.
Lily woke up in a terrible sweat, clutching her pillow to her chest. "Harry," she whispered, not even knowing what she was saying. "Don't die Harry." For no reason a few loose tears escaped her eyes.
It was just a night terror, she told herself. Nothing other than that, it was all a dream. She had eaten something bad at the Halloween feast, Potter had been getting on her nerves, and she was over stressed. That was all it was.
Panting she looked around the room to see Potter had woken as well. He held on e hand over his heart and was staring into the distance. He had a horrible expression on his face, one a fear and loathing, then he shook his head and the look was gone. He caught sight of Lily.
"What's your problem Evans?" He snapped in a much nastier voice than he usually used with her.
"I could ask you the same thing- what are you doing up?" Her voice, she found, was just as rude.
His mouth grew into a thin line. "None of your business."
They both snorted and fell back into their beds. Neither slept at all for the rest of the night, they were both thinking the same thing:
What did it all mean?
This is a shorter chapter, but it just seemed like a really good place to end things (don't be mad at me or anything) Oh and also if I spelled Avada Kedavra (or however I spelt it) wrong, just ignore that, I'm a terrible speller and I don't have my books to look it up. So... yeah just bear with me.
I hope you like my story, and I'm sorry if something doesn't make sense. If it doesn't then just say so in your reviews and I'll try and fix it or explain it to you. Like someone said that James was not a seeker, and oh well, I'm wrong, that's just the way I'm keeping it. It's nothing major after all and it doesn't really effect the story line, so I think you'll understand.
Oh and there will be as much more of Snape as I can work in, and I hope it doesn't sound too mean when Lily and James insult each other, it's just the way they are trying to feel. (lol) They are really not like that. Lily is usually quiet, smart, but she does have a temper. And James for the most part is good natured, funny, brave, (you know the usual clique character) and he's not supposed to really be arrogant. More or less, just like a sixteen year old boy.
So I hope I cleared some things up and I hope you enjoy! THANKS so much for reading and thanks even more to these people for reviewing:
