A/N: Long time, no see. Now that I have summer holiday, I had finally time to write a new chapter to my Muse album challenge story. It might not be the best, but I hope you'd review and tell me what is wrong, in grammar or otherwise.
Disclaimer: I do not own Hogwarts, the Marauders, Lily Evans or other characters you might recognise. I also do not own the song Darkshines. It's a song by a fabulous band called Muse. I'd recommend you listened to it :)
3. Darkshines
I cheer up every time I see Lily. She's my beauty, my future wife, the mother of my future child. The only problem is that she isn't mine. Not yet. I'm going to do everything that's under my control to get her to go on a date with me, so that my dream would come true.
Her smile lightens the whole Hogwarts. She's happy. Our seventh and final school year has freshly started and of course she has been made Head Girl. Surprising thing is that me, James Potter, a Marauder of the Marauders has been made HEAD BOY! The best part in this is that I share the Head students' common room with Lily. But I don't think that's why Lily is happy. He yelled at me in the train when I told her I was the Head Boy. As astonishing as it might be, she didn't believe me. Lily must be happy to see her friends after a long summer vacation.
Passing by you light up my darkest skies
You take only seconds to draw me in
So be mine and your innocence I will consume
In the middle of my dreams I notice that Lily has started making her way towards me. That's confusing. She never, and I mean never, comes voluntarily to me. She loathes me. I wish she liked me. Deep inside she loves me, but it's so deep, she doesn't know it herself.
"Potter," she says with her beautiful voice, "are you ready? I thought we could go together to our common room…"
"Of course!" I answer, maybe a tad bit too enthusiastically and get leaving my stunned friends behind me. This certainly wasn't an expected turn-up.
Dark shines
Bringing me down
Making my heart feel sore
Because it's good
Hold your hands up to your eyes again
Hide from the scary scenes, suppress your fears
So be mine and your innocence I will consume
"James," Lily says after we have walked a while. Wait a second! Did Lily just call me James?
"Yes, Lily?" I ask shyly.
"Could we from now on be at least polite towards each other? You know we are Head students and everything, and we shouldn't be showing a bad example for the kids by fighting and yelling in the corridors," she asks.
"I completely agree. Friends?" I suggest reaching out my hand as conciliation.
"Friends," she agrees.
Dark shines
Bringing me down
Making my heart feel sore
Because it's good
You're dark shines
Bringing me down
Making my heart feel sore
Because it's good
Did we really just make conciliation with Lily? I wonder smiling to myself. I glance at Lily, who also seems to be smiling. Maybe she will soon realize she loves me. Friends. It's a great advance in our relationship. I can do nothing but smile. Lily likes me, there's no other way she'd propose conciliation. Is there?
Dark shines
Bringing me down
Making my heart feel sore
Because it's good.
