1.1.1.1.1 A/N: I'm gonna steal an idea from someone else (soz, cant memba
ur name!!!) so when lily's thinking, it'll be next to a ~.
1.1.1.1.2
1.1.1.1.3 Chapter Four - Her
Lily lay down on her bed and started crying.
~Why did he have to say all that? Why did he have to bring that up? I thought it was gone…he's gonna haunt me forever, isn't he? Why can't he just leave me alone! ~
Lily heard the door to the dormitory open.
~God, I don't wanna talk to anyone. ~
'Lily?' asked a familiar voice. It was Terra. Lily quickly wiped her eyes and opened the curtains to her bed.
'Yes?' she asked calmly.
'Lily, are you all right? What was THAT about?'
Lily bit on her bottom lip. ~Should I tell Terra? She's my best friend but… no, not now… not ever…I can't, it's too painful… ~
'What was what about?' asked Lily innocently.
Terra began to get angry. 'Come on, Lil'! I can see that you've been crying, I'm not stupid, and I did hear you and Potter talking you know!' When Lily started to cry again Terra's voice softened and she sat down next to Lily with an arm around her. 'I'm sorry Lil', I just wish you'd tell me what is going on between you and Potter!'
Lily looked up at her friend suddenly. 'What do you mean?' she asked too quickly. 'There's nothing "going on" between me and that scum!'
'Oh Lily, you know I didn't mean it like that!' Lily shook her off and Terra jumped up angrily. 'Lily Evans! I am your best friend, and if you don't tell me what's going on RIGHT NOW! I will make you eat onions for the rest of your life!!!' Lily smiled wryly. She hated onions.
'I wish it was that easy…' she whispered.
Terra's voice softened. 'Lily, why can't you tell me? Where does this hatred for James come from?'
Lily thought about it for a moment. 'Look, Terra, I…just leave me alone for a bit, ok? I need to think.'
Terra nodded understandingly. 'Of course. If you need me, then me, Fiona and the boys are going to Hogsmede, so I'll meet you here later, ok?'
'Is James going with you as well?' Lily asked suddenly.
Terra frowned confusedly. 'Uh yeah, I think so, why?' Lily sighed.
'Good,' she said. 'I can't deal with him right now.'
Terra frowned again and left Lily to her tears and thoughts.
* * *
'So, where's James then?' asked Terra. She, Fiona, Sirius and Remus were all sitting in the Three Broomsticks, drinking Butter Beer.
'I don't know,' said Remus shaking his head. He and Fiona were sitting quite close togther.
'Maybe he's gone to talk to Lily,' suggested Fiona. She kept looking at Remus then looking away again. Terra grinned. Fiona's crushes were non-stop and never seemed to last long.
'She won't like that,' said Sirius grinning. 'Someone's eye will be poked out by the end of today, and we know that for certain!'
Terra kicked Sirius under the table. 'It isn't funny you know!' said Terra angrily as Sirius rubbed a bruised leg. 'When I followed Lily back to the common room, she was in a seriously bad way. She was crying and everything and…' Terra sighed. 'I wish she'd tell me what was wrong.'
'I know the feeling,' said Sirius, getting serious again. 'I've tried talking to James about him and Lily for AGES, and I get nothing. The other astounding thing is how they're so alike and all.'
'Perfect,' mumbled Terra.
'Oh well, there's nothing we can do it about it, said Fiona. 'Might as well wait and see what happens.'
* * *
On Monday (everyone had practically slept all day on Sunday), Terra dragged Fiona and Lily out of bed. They weren't very pleased.
'Go away,' mumbled Fiona, trying desperately hard not to get up.'
'Oh come one Fi, get up. You too Lil'! We have to go see who gets to play what in the play!'
After 10 minutes or so, Terra won, and Fiona and Lily were up. They walked downstairs to see the marauders standing there.
'Dude, Terra,' said Sirius. 'How long does it take for them two to get up?'
'Some of us need our beauty sleep!' said Lily defensively.
James laughed. 'Oh, and it's done you a lot of good, I can see that.'
'Oh, you're so funny James!' said Lily in mock-laughter, and the six (leaving Peter behind-a/n: ha ha) went through the portrait hole and down to the great hall.
Even thought it had only been two days ago, the eruption between Lily and James had spread around the school. Everyone looked at the two cautiously as they passed, waiting for another fight, but Lily and James seemed to have an unspoken agreement.
Well, spoken, actually, as James had tried to talk to her the previous day.
" 'Lil', listen to me…' he had said.
'Oh, and since when did I say you could call me "Lil' "? That name is strictly for my FRIENDS.'
'But, we are friends…'
'No we are not, James. I tried to get along with you, but I can't! Don't you see? I can't get HER out of my head!'
'Lily, I thought you understood, that was a long time ago…'
'Only two years…' muttered Lily.
'…and it was a mistake! I never meant to hurt you!'
'Oh, so why are you always so mean to me?' asked a pained Lily.
James looked shocked at the question. 'Well…I, because you're always mean to me!'
'Well I hate you James Harry Potter, and as long as we're at school together, we're gonna have to try and "get along" but I'm sorry, we won't ever be friends. Lets just go back to how we were before Saturday. Ok?' Lily had tears in her eyes. James tried to protest but Lily shook her head softly and began to cry. 'No, James,' she whispered. 'But this is how it's gotta be. Just leave me alone,' and James left with tears in his own eyes. "
And that's what had happened. Lily had tried again and again to forgive James, but she couldn't. It was too hard. And even harder having to lie to her best friends about it.
The six had reached the top of the stairs leading to the entrance hall. Fiona paused and took in a deep breath. 'This is it,' she said. 'This is it.'
No one said anything for a few moments, then Sirius began to laugh. 'It's not like we're meeting the bloody queen or anything!' he said. Everyone else laughed as well, and they walked on down to the Great Hall.
Next to the door, posted on the wall, we're three pieces of parchment. One of them was titled: SOLO PARTS. Lily guessed that that was for the choir. Another was titled: DANCING PARTNERS. ~For the dancers. ~ Then, next to the dancers' notice there was a piece of parchment labelled: ROMEO AND JULIET.
Lily's heart quickened as she scanned the piece of paper. Then, she spotted it:
JULIET, daughter to Capulet – LILY EVANS
Lily jumped up and down. As soon as Fiona and Terra had read it as well, they jumped up and down with Lily.
'Oh my god! I am sooo jealous!' shouted Fiona.
'Yeah, well done LILY!' screamed Terra.
Sirius and Remus began jumping up and down and shouting girlish squeals. Terra hit them both on the head with the book that she was carrying.
Lily looked at Fiona and Terra's parts. Fiona was playing Lady Capulet, and Terra was playing Juliet's nurse.
'Well, that's kinda cool,' said Terra. 'Then I get to do all my scenes with you!' she added to Lily.
'Yeah, and I get to be in love with Remus,' said Fiona grinning at Remus, who was playing Montague, head of the Montague family.
'M' Lady,' he said holding out his arm.
Fiona grinned and took his offered arm giggling stupidly. Lily and Terra caught each others eye and sighed, grinning.
Sirius spotted his part. 'I'm playing Mercutio,' he said. 'Cool. Don't I get to die or something?'
Lily stopped jumping up and down to see what James' reaction was. 'What's wrong, James?' she said, seeing his deathly pale face. Then, thinking that had sounded too kind, she added, 'Not happy for me? Cuz no, of course not – I can't possibly be better than you!' She grinned.
James didn't. He simply stared at his friends surrounding him and muttered something. Then he pointed to a certain spot on the parchment. Lily read it, and swore that her heart had stopped beating for a full ten seconds.
ROMEO, son of Montague – JAMES POTTER
A/N: he he he…I love cliffhanger endings!!! James and Lily's parts were kinda obviously gonna happen, weren't they? Hopefully the others' weren't. I WOZ gonna make Lupin AND Black be Romeo's best friends, but then I thought that that would never happen in real life, three best friends in real life, three best friends in the play (not that the whole harry potter thing is believable anyway!) but I thort it'd be kinda cool having Fiona and Remus together…married…in love!!! Please tell me wot u think. I woz also gonna make lily Juliet and james someone else and…um…well, I hadn't thort that far ahead!!! So anyway, there's chapter four – please r&r! oh, and soz that this is SUCH along a/n, but I had lots to tell you, so Im gonna stop now b4 I make it even longer!!!
