REVIEW.
Disclaimer: No it's not mine
"Lily, are you alright?" Mary asked, waving her hand in front of my face during breakfast the next morning.
"Am I?" I asked her, and Mary rolled her eyes
"Honestly you're such a carrot," she said, and I raised my eyebrows, the corners of my mouth twitching
"A carrot?"
"Yes, you're a carrot. Because they're vegetables. And vegetables are boring and nasty," she said, and I giggled, "And I haven't seen you do that since last night," she said.
"That's because I haven't done that since last night," I said, violently stabbing my bacon with a fork.
"So…what went down between you and Potter then?" she asked, leaning forward and winking at me. I bit my lip. No, I hadn't told her yet, "What?" she asked, and I looked at her, knowing that I looked guilty, "Lily Evans if you don't tell me this second-"
"," I said quickly. Mary just looked at me. I noticed that she had dropped her fork.
"Hello," Black said, sitting down next to Mary and kissing her on the cheek. Mary was still frozen
"What's up with Mary?" Remus asked, sitting down next to me, frowning at Mary.
"How come we're sitting here, you ask?" Pettigrew said, sitting down on my other side, "Well, now that Padfoot is dating Mary, and he's going to be sitting here, we figured we'd join you, since we like you Lily," he said. I smiled slightly at him. I looked over at Black, who was looking at me curiously. I wonder if Potter had told him about last night.
"Have you seen James?" Remus asked me, and I shook my head. The mention of him seemed to snap Mary out of it.
"YOU DID WHAT?" she screeched, standing up, causing the boys to jump and me to shrink back in my seat, "Lily-you-I cant- stupid- URGH!" she screeched, "Come with me, now!" she yelled, pointing imperiously towards the entrance of the Great Hall. I groaned and stood up.
"See you later," I said to the boys, who were looking between the two of us, bewildered
"No you wont, you'll have to come to her funeral," she said to Black, who grinned. She grabbed my wrist.
"OW!" I yelled, as she dug her stupid nails into my flesh, but she ignored me, and dragged me out of the Great Hall. Just as my luck would have it, I ended up bumping into Potter, who was walking in with Stella, "Oh sorry!" I said, and then realized who I had bumped into.
Potter hand a hand on my waist to steady me, and I flushed deep maroon. Potter glared at me. And I mean, glared at me. Stella, on the other hand, laughed
"Lily, you're so funny," she giggled, "Come on Jamie, let's go," she said, and Potter looked down at her and smiled, allowing her to drag him away.
I stood frozen, and Mary looked at me sympathetically, before giving my arm a tug. She opened the door to a broom closet and shoved me in. Yes, I found this extremely awkward, incase you were wondering, "Explain," she said, sitting down in front of me, and I sighed, sitting down.
"I snogged Potter last night," I said, and she nodded, smiling slightly
"When?"
"When he was helping me with the Transfiguration homework," I said, and she nodded, gesturing for me to continue, "and then, he turned me to face him and asked how I was, and I said fine, and next thing I knew-" I cut off then, sighing
"He was snogging you," she stated, and I nodded, flushing, and Mary squealed, "NO. WAY. This is fantastic!" she said happily, clapping her hands, "Merlin, but, wait," she said quickly, "Why did he walk into the Great Hall with Stella?" she asked, and I bit my lip
"Because he asked me out after we snogged…" I said, and I saw Mary narrow her eyes
"You idiot!" she hissed, whacking my arm, "You said no?"
"You don't have to hit me!" I hissed back, whacking her arm away, "You think I'm not upset about it? And actually," I said, and her head snapped back to me, "I didn't say no," I whispered, "I didn't say anything while he was there. I just kind of…sat there. And then he jumped up and ran away, and then, I said yes," I said quietly, and Mary shook her head
"That is the worst possible time to ever freeze," she said, and I gave her a sarcastic look, "Don't look at me like that Lily Evans," she said sternly, and I felt a smile twitch at my face, "So, you want to go out with him," she said, smiling, and I groaned, which, she obviously took as an affirmative, and instantly started to squeal happily
"Mary shut up!" I hissed, but it was no use. Just then, the door to the broom cupboard opened and we were greeted by no other than the James Potter himself.
"You know, I usually have to pull couples out of here," he said, and I noticed he was talking to Mary, and not to me.
"How do you know we're not a couple?" Mary retorted, throwing her arm around my shoulder once we had stood up. Potter's eyes flickered to my face and then back to Mary
"Er, Sirius," he said, and her eyes widened
"Merlin, please don't tell him about Lily and I doing the dirty in here!" she squeaked, and I snorted very unattractively, naturally.
"I'll try," Potter said, "Evans," he said, nodding stiffly at me, before walking away, "You better hurry up Mary, or you'll miss Hogsmeade," he said, and Mary nodded, jumping out of the closet, shutting the door behind me
"You must've seriously hurt him Lils, because he won't even look at you," she said, and I threw her a deadpan look
"Really? I hadn't noticed," I said bluntly, and she giggled. Just then, Black came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her middle.
"Hello there," he said, and she giggled, "Problem," he sighed, and Mary looked up at him, "Turns out, I'm not allowed in Hogsmeade today," he said, and Mary frowned, "McGoogles is irritated at me," he said, winking at me for the use of my nickname.
"Oh, okay," she said, and then turned to look at me
"I'm not going," I said, and Mary huffed.
"Fine! Remus!" she called, and he turned around.
"Yes?"
"I'm going to Hogsmeade with you," she said, and Remus chuckled as she stuck her tongue out at me, threw Black a nasty look, and then linked arms with Remus.
"So, Evans," Black said, looking at me. I turned to look at him quickly. I had been watching Potter kiss Stella on the cheek, "What shall we do today?" he asked.
"Er, I was going to do homework," I said, and he rolled his eyes. He snaked his elbow through mine and then dragged me out of the door, "But I thought you weren't allowed in Hogsmeade!" I squeaked.
"We're not going to Hogsmeade," he shrugged, turning me so that we were heading to the Quidditch Pitch
"But I don't want to go there," I whined, and Black chuckled.
"We're not," he said simply, and then pointed at the infamous oak tree next to the Black Lake, "We're going there," he said, and I smiled. That I could do, "So Lily," he said, sitting down at the base of the tree, leaning against the trunk. I sat down next to him and looked out across the lake.
"Yes Black?" I said, and he sighed
"I'd appreciate it if you called me by my first name," he said, and I looked at him blankly, "What?"
"Yes Sirius?" I said, and he grinned, putting his arm around my shoulders.
"How was your snog last night?" he asked, and I felt myself stiffen. So Potter had told him.
"Erm," I said, twirling the end of my hair.
"Don't worry, I know how it ends…I didn't really think of you as a slut," he said, and I turned sharply to look at him
"What?" I asked weakly, and he looked at me, his eyes blazing
"How could you?" he asked angrily, "Don't you know how much he wants you?" he hissed
"Not anymore," I said glumly, and Blac-Sirius's eyes widened
"What?"
"You heard me," I said, and then looked up at him, "Don't call me anything. Did Potter tell you that I said no?" she asked, and Sirius shook his head
"Er, no, he said your reaction was enough of a no for him," he said, and I bit my lip
"I was scared," I said, and Sirius continued to look at me, "Because I was going to say yes," I whispered, and Sirius's eyes widened.
"WHAT?" he yelled, causing the birds to fly out of the tree we were leaning against.
"You heard me," I said defiantly, and he looked at me sympathetically, "And as soon as he left I said yes," I said, sounding kind of choked, "And then he walked into the Great Hall this morning with Stella," I continued, feeling my eyes prickle. Sirius put his arm around my shoulder and pulled me onto him, so I was leaning against his shoulder.
"Don't cry," he said, and I rolled my eyes, "you know, James always said he'd get you to like him," he said, and I smacked his chest, albeit, half-heartedly.
"Well bloody fantastic for him," I muttered, and Sirius chuckled, rubbing soothing circles on my back.
"We should go inside," he said, as a few students walked outside. I nodded and allowed him to pull me to my feet.
"And then- You wont believe this- and then Dumbledore, that's right Dumbledore- came up behind us and told us to use porridge instead!" Sirius choked out, leaning against the wall of the corridor leading to Gryffindor Tower. I had spent the whole day with Sirius, and, I could understand now, exactly why everyone loved him. He was entertaining, sweet, and genuine. And his looks were just a bonus.
I was laughing, holding onto his arm for support, holding my sides, "Dumbledore?" I asked incredulously, "But he'd never!" I laughed, and he nodded, still laughing
"Exactly!" he laughed, "And we took his advice!"
"I remember that," I giggled, "Best end of year feast ever," I said, remembering how the graduating Slytherins had all had pudding dumped on them.
"I don't think Dumbledore minded much, Lucius Malfoy was graduating in that year, and I don't think he particularly liked him," Sirius said, and I rolled my eyes
"I don't think anyone did," I snorted, and he grinned at me.
"You know Evans, you're not bad," Sirius said, and I smiled at him.
"You're not bad either," I said, and he grinned at me, clasping his heart dramatically
"Why Lily dearest, this moment cannot pass without a hug," he said, holding his arms open. I giggled and walked into his arms, throwing mine around his neck and his arms hugging me around my waist. I giggled and leaned back, but he didn't release his hold on me, "No! It's not everyday I get to hug an attractive girl," he winked, and I laughed.
Just then, Potter walked around the corner, "Sirius! Mate I was-oh," he said, looking at the two of us. Sirius let go of me so quickly I might have been on fire. Well, my skin certainly felt like it. If Potter was glaring gat me this morning, it was nothing compared to the look of pure hatred he was giving me right now, "I see you two are busy," he said, glaring at Sirius, who shrunk back slightly
"James, mate-"
"I'll see you later then," James said, turning around quickly and walking away. I've never seen him walk so fast.
"Shit!" Sirius said, leaning against the wall, "Damn it!" he yelled, kicking his toe against the wall, "he's going to murder me!" he said, and I frowned
"Why?"
"Why Lily!" Because you're off limits!" he hissed, and I frowned. I didn't like being property
"What do you mean 'off limits'," I said irritably, and Sirius sighed, shaking his head
"You have always been James's," he said, "We've been forbidden from fooling around you and- bloody ARGH! Do you know what that looked like?" he asked, and I bit my lip. I saw his dilemma.
"I'm sorry," I said softly, and he looked at me with soft eyes
"Oh Merlin I'm sorry Lily. I don't want you to feel bad. Don't be sorry," he said, "I feel bad now that I've made you feel bad!" he said, and laughed at his confusing sentence, "We're okay," he said, hugging me quickly, "I'll see you later, yeah?" he said, before grinning at me and sprinting off in the direction James had just gone
"Lils," I turned around quickly to see Mary standing there, arms crossed
"I swear I wasn't doing anything!" I said, holding my hands up, and she raised her eyebrows
"What? No, don't worry I've been standing here since before you two hugged, I know what's going on," she said, and I relaxed considerably. She walked over to me and put her arms around me, "Are you alright?" she asked, and I shook my head, "Come on, let's go back to the Common Room," she said, and took my arm, leading me back to the Common Room.
I walked inside the Common Room and jumped at the screaming that greeted me. Mary groaned.
James Potter and Sirius Black were screaming at each other in the middle of the Common Room. I looked around. The first years were frightened. As I watched, James pulled his wand out and pointed it at Sirius, who yelled something and pulled his own wand out. James shot a spell at Sirius, who put up a shield charm. I watched as the spell bounced off the shield, and promptly hit a second year girl in the back, causing her to shriek and fall over.
"ENOUGH!" I screamed, walking inside the room. Come on, I wasn't Head Girl for nothing. Oh right, forgot to mention that, yes, I'm Head Girl, "Look at what you did!" I said, gesturing to the second year, who Mary was tending to gently.
"Lily-" Sirius started, and James hissed at him
"OH AND YOU SAID-"
"YOU KNOW WHAT JAMES? MAYBE-"
"STOP IT!" I screamed, "Silencio!" I said, pointing at the two of them, both of whom who looked down at me, glaring, "If you don't shut up right now I'm going to put you both in detention," I said, looking angrily between the two of them. I flicked my wand and the charm lifted off both of them.
"Fine," Sirius said, and then looked at James, who was glaring at me.
"Fine," James said, looking up at Sirius.
"Thanks," Remus said, putting his arm around my shoulder. James glared and me and I felt my bottom lip quaver under the intense hatred
"Excuse me," I said, and walked swiftly up the stairs to my dorm, followed by my best friend.
Hey! Review PLEASE!
