Disclaimer.. I don't own HP, its character, places or story. Only various plots, scenarios and the odd character or so… There's some OOC, but other then that we're coolio. So, this is where the character P.O.V's come in.. only small amounts atm… And on we go!
"Brilliant." James grinned widely.
Lily:
As I wandered to the Gryffindor tower in a daze, I walked into something solid. Looking up I saw Snape.
"What do you want? This is the Gryffindor tower." I pointed out coldly.
He swept his greasy looking hair out of his eyes.
"What are you doing with Potter?" He said James's name as if he would have said Mudblood back in the day, when we were younger and he hated the term with a burning passion.
"Its really none of your business Severus." I told him stiffly.
"Of corse it is! I'm still going to look out for you. He'll only hurt you, I'm trying to protect you!" Snape exclaimed.
"I don't not need or want your 'Protection' Severus. Nor do I care what you have to say about James, he isn't that bad you know so leave me alone and get out of my way." I said, glaring at him.
As I tried skirting around him, to go up the stairs leading to the Gryffindor commons, he grabbed my forearm.
"I cant let you do it! It's a mistake! He's leading you on." Snape said frantically.
"Let go of me now Snape." I hissed, trying to jerk my arm out of his grip but he held tight.
"Lily you have to listen to me! I cant let you do this!"
"I don't need your permission. I am not your little mudblood that you think you can control! Let go of me now before I hex you. I am not afraid of you Severus, not you or any of your wanna be death eater friends. So get off of my arm before I do something I may regret." I tell him spitefully.
"You wouldn't hex me." Snape sneered.
"But I might." Came a calm, colleted voice behind him.
I looked over his shoulder to see Sirius.
"Now, I believe Lilybean told you to let go of her so here." Sirius flicked his wand lazily and Snape's hand jerked off my arm as if he'd received an electric shock.
I moved quickly around Snape, toward Sirius before he recovered.
"Thankyou." I whispered.
"No problem Lilybean. You think I'm going to let Snivellus grease you up? Nah.. Prongs would kill me." Sirius winked.
"You'll regret that Black!" Snape scowled.
"Not as much as you might if you don't leave my best friend and my boyfriend alone. I know as many dark spells and curses as you do Snivellus and unlike you I wont use them unless I have to now move on." Came Carla's dark threat.
"You make me sick Rosier. You and you blood traitor boyfriend will get what you deserve when the dark lord comes. You wait and see." Snape spat.
"We're waiting." Carla snarled.
"Just leave Severus. Now before I hex you." I snapped.
"Fine. But don't say I didn't warn you. When you come crying I wont be there." Snape growled.
"I wont. And I don't need you to be there because unlike you, James wouldn't do anything to hurt me." I sneer, turning away from him and walking up the stairs to the portrait of the fat lady.
James:
"Nah, come off it Padfoot. Snivellus wouldn't." I shrug as Sirius recapped the events of around, ten minutes ago over our two way mirrors.
"Honest Prongs. He had a hold of her arm and was trying to tell her to stay away from you. But boy did she fight back. Really, she was going to hex him.. But I knew she wouldn't want to, so I did it for her." Sirius grinned.
"Alright mate. Oh.. Here she is, I'll go talk to her." I told him hastily as I heard the portrait open.
"Good luck Prongs." Sirius sighed.
3rd Person.
"Lily? Is that you?" James called, appearing at the top of the stairs.
"Yeah. Its me." She called back to him.
As he thundered down the stairs, Lily sat on the window seat and lifted the sleeve of her shirt to reveal a purplish bruise from where Snape had grabbed her arm.
"What is that?!" James yelled, gawping at her arm.
Lily hastily pulled the sleeve back down.
"Nothing. Its nothing James." Lily told him.
"Is that what He did?" James asked, looking ready to kill.
"James please. He didn't.. he thinks he's helping!" Lily pleaded as James started towards the door.
"Helping by Hurting you?!" James yelled.
"James he doesn't understand, he thinks you're the same arrogant toe rag you were back in first year. He thinks your going to hurt me. He wants to think he's trying to protect me!" Lily said frantically.
"I'll show him hurt. Who does that greasy wanna be death eater think he is bruising you? I'll tell you what he is. Dead." James seethed as he reached the portrait.
"James PLEASE!" Lily cried flinging herself infront of the portrait.
"I cant LILY! HE HURT YOU!" James yelled.
"HE HURT YOU AND I WASN'T THERE TO HELP! I WASN'T THERE TO PROTECT YOU. HE COULD HAVE DONE WORSE AND I WASN'T THERE! HE HAS TO PAY FOR THIS!" James cried.
Lily's eyes were brimming with tears, here was the boy she had once hated, going to defend her. Blaming himself for not being there to save her. He had done this once before, but Lily though he had done it to prove a point. Now, he really was proving a point… He loved her and he wanted to do anything to protect her.
"James, please. He isn't worth it. You'll get in so much trouble. He really isn't worth it. I'll be fine.. I cant let you do this James. Not over me." Lily whispered.
"But, It is worth it. I'd do anything for you Lily, I- I love you." James told her hoarsely.
"Oh James!" Lily sighed, then she leant forward and kissed him.
That night, Lily fell asleep cuddled up with James on the sofa. They had stayed up late discussing everything and came to one solid conclusion. They would have a trial go at being a couple then after a week they would sit down and discuss it again.
James had fallen asleep not long after Lily, he had one arm locked around her slim frame, the other had been resting on the arm rest as he stroked her hair. Her head was laid on his chest and one of her dainty hands was resting on his shoulder.
And that was exactly how Sirius and Carla found them the next morning when they didn't answer the door for breakfast.
They had knocked and yelled for a good five minutes, Sirius tried the mirrors, Carla was screaming in 'girl code' but nothing worked so, as she deemed it an emergency Carla said the password and rushed in, only to stop dead in her tracks.
"What is it?" Sirius asked, alarmed, then he stood beside her and his jaw dropped.
"You so owe me!" Carla sniggered as James stretched and then wrapped his arms tighter around Lily.
"Whatever." He grumbled, then lent down by James's head and yelled, "OIT PRONGS! STOP WITH THE WET DREAMS AND GET UP!"
Lily cried out in alarm and tried to sit up at the same time as James had tried to move her, so she was out of the way in case of danger, so they ended up tumbling off the couch and landed in a head on the floor.
"Really Padfoot? Really?" James huffed as he stood and helped Lily off the floor.
"Really." Sirius winked.
Carla swatted him around the back of the head, then turned to Lily.
"So?" She asked.
"So?" Lily grinned.
"OH MY GODRIC!" Carla shrieked happily.
"Carla! Tone it down!" Lily laughed as she covered her ears, protecting them against her best friends happy squeals.
"OH MY GODRIC THIS Is sooooooooooooo exciting!" Carla giggled as she stopped jumping on the spot.
"Yes Carla. Now I'm going to get washed and dressed and I will meet you in the great hall. Bye now Carla." Lily smirked as she pushed Carla back out of the Portrait hole.
"Laters Prongs." Sirius winked and followed a rather grumpy Carla.
"Well.. That went well." James ginned as he pulled Lily into a hug.
"I think it did. Because knowing our friends, it couldn't have gotten any better." Lily sighed.
"Your right. As you always are." James grinned.
"Kiss ass." Lily rolled her eyes, kissed James's cheek and hurried upstairs to get ready.
James followed slowly, to get to his room where he smiled to himself.
He'd finally got his girl.
