Prompt #7: superstar
That arrogant, no good, dirty, rotten, bullying toe rag!
Thought Lily Evans as she walked briskly down that corridor that would lead her to the Gryffindor common room.
Would does he think he is? Some goddamned superstar? For God's sake I don't know what I even bother with that jerk! He had no right to do that, absolutely no right!
Lily thought back to the fight she had just broken up between the head boy James Potter and a Slytherin named Serverus Snape. The two had been enemies since they first set foot in Hogwarts, but really! She'd just finished telling him that he should be setting an example as head boy and not a minute later, he was rolling on the floor with Snape trying to strangle him.
Lily sighed, when was that idiot ever going to learn?
She reached the portrait of the pink lady and muttered the password (fairy dust) and climbed through… only to find the last person she wanted to see sitting by the fire, waiting for her.
Upon seeing her enter James waved her over to him watching as she reluctantly headed over in his direction.
"What do you want Potter?" she asked.
He winced, "Ouch, that was a little harsh Evans."
"Potter, I'm not in the mood right now, ok? So what do you want?"
"Well… I wanted to apologize."
Lily froze. James Potter… James-I-think-I'm-the-greatest-thing-since-sliced-bread-Potter… wanted to apologize to her?
"Erm… why?" she asked, not entirely sure that she wasn't talking to an imposter.
"Well, we agreed to try and get along this year since we're both Heads, right?"
She nodded.
"And I had told you that I wouldn't get into fights and play as many pranks this year, I was going to set an example remember?"
Again, she nodded.
"Well… realized that I made a huge screw up and thought it would be best if I apologize, so, I'm sorry, I'll try to do better."
Lily just stared at him in shock, and a long silence ensued.
After a while, James finally said, "Well say something!"
Lily said the only thought that was going through her mind.
"Who are you and what have you done with James Potter?"
James scowled, "I'm being serious here, Evans."
Lily chuckled and sat down next to him, "I know Potter, but this isn't like the Potter I've known for the past few years."
"You ever stop to consider that I might have changed ion seven years?"
"No, I've considered it, I've just yet to see proof of it."
James nodded, "Yeah I guess you're right."
"I don't suppose you could keep the whole 'I'm a responsible and model student' thing up for a while, could you?"
He smirked, "Oh, I think I could, I just might need some motivation."
Lily had a bad feeling about this, "What kind of motivation?" she asked cautiously.
"This kind," he said and leaned forward to kiss her.
She tried to pull away only to run into the armrest on the couch, there was nowhere to go.
Taking this as his only chance, James closed the distance between them and kissed her. It was a short chaste kiss, but from Lily's reaction to it, any passerby would've thought it was something much more. James just grinned as he watched her sputter.
"Well that should help me behave for a week or so," he said scrambling off the couch and darting towards the portrait hole.
There was a brief moment when he thought that Lily might not come after him, until her heard her scream.
"POTTER!!! YOU'RE GONNA WISH YOU WERE DEAD BY THE TIME I'M THROUGH WITH YOU!!!"
James quickly sped up as Lily came barreling after him, hot on his heels, laughing the whole way.
A/N: and there you have it! A different twist on James/Lily. I hope you all enjoyed it! I'll post another one once I get back from vacation! Much love to all!
