Summary: Lily wants to tell James that she likes him, but keeps getting interrupted. Watch how Lily keeps approaching James to tell him…..and fails every time.
R&R!
Disclaimer: See first chapter.
Alice Prewett
This is it. She HAS to tell him today. Tomorrow, everyone would be going home for Christmas break, and she'll miss her chance. By that time, he might come back to Hogwarts with some bimbo on his arm or something.
No, she has to tell him now.
This time, there will be NO interruptions, NO ranting, NO planning. She's just going to tell him.
Straight out.
No matter who's there.
Even Severus.
Or Professor McGonagall.
Even Dumbledore.
Argh, see? She was dawdling again!
Dammit Lily, go tell him already!
Right. But...where is he?
Lily burst into the Great Hall, expecting to see him there, but he was no where in sight.
Lily's brow furrowed. That's awfully weird. The Marauders usually never pass up a meal. Especially lunch.
But they weren't there. Lily had searched the whole Gryffindor table, even asked most of the students, but everyone had said that they haven't seen them.
Right, time for Plan B: Search for him throughout the whole school.
And so she did.
Transfiguration classroom: Nothing.
Dungeons (the best place for them to play a prank): Nothing.
Transfiguration courtyard: Nothing, although a very awkward sight of Molly Prewitt and Arthur Weasley snogging each other senseless.
Seventh floor: Nothing.
Hospital Wing: Nothing.
Library: Nothing (Of course. Why would they even go there in the first place?)
Finally, Lily found James and his bunch of monkeys in the Paved Courtyard, where they were pushing each other and joking around, talking about the Christmas holidays.
"So Prongs, have any special girls on your mind?" asked Sirius playfully.
James feigned thinking. "No one, actually. Why would you ask?"
"Oh, i dunno. You were saying something about the 'girl next door', if you know what I mean..."
James shoved Sirius playfully as Lily panicked.
Girl next door. Oh no.
Does he have eyes on his neighbour?
For the first time, fear crept into Lily's heart. What if he didn't like her back?
What if he had given up on her?
What if all he did was laugh at her face?
What if this day just brought public humiliation for the rest of her life?
No! she told herself firmly. I will tell him. James Potter will not let me down. I am sure of it. This was it. The big moment.
She will not fail.
Lily put one foot in front of the other, conscious of every step she makes. She combed her hair with her hands a little to make it tidier as she walked. She was just ten steps away when-
"Lily, there you are!"
What. The. Bloody. Fuck.
Another one of her friends, irritating her to no end. The last day and...
Here she comes.
Another one.
Alice Prewitt.
From The Interrupters.
That will be her new name for them. The interrupters.
Damn them to hell.
Yes, she was mean but hey, she had a very good reason to be.
Lily clenched her teeth as Alice came towards her, oblivious to her obvious anger.
"Lily! I need your help!" She said. "I have a date with Frank tomorrow"
Why do I care?
"And we're going to Hogsmeade"
Right. And you need me because...?
"But I have nothing to wear!"
Alice, have you actually LOOKED at your closet?
"But then I thought of that awesome dress you bought the other day,"
I hate that dress. You made me buy it.
"And I know that you don't like it,"
Understatement of the year.
"So I was wondering if I could borrow it."
You can keep it for as long as you live.
"Sure," replied Lily. "I don't mind."
Alice's face lit up. "Thanks Lily!"
Now, leave me alone so that I can tell James that I like him.
"But I need more help! I need the make-up and everything. I know that it's weird because the date is tomorrow but I really need the help! Besides, you're a make-up artist! And I can always put a spell on my face for it to return when I need it. Not to mention the accessories and the right shoes and everything..."
"Pads, I heard that Hestia is waiting for you in the Gryffindor common room," Lily heard James say.
Sirius nodded and grinned. "Ah, that girl can keep herself off me. Let's go, fellow henchmen!"
All four boys stood up and started to leave.
no no No No NO!
Lily panicked. No! This was her last chance! She will not let this slip from her fingers once again!
"...so I was thinking light green, but then it clashes with my hair, unless I dye my hair to match yours. But then I don't think red hair would go on me, since I'm nowhere as pretty as you. You know, I'm still surprise that Frank actually proposed to me! I mean, it was a total shock! But of course I said yes, since I love him with all my life. But I'm afraid that if I don't do well he might call off the engagement, and I'm just too scared to lose him! I really need your help Lily! Just yesterday I saw a couple of girls swooning over him, and I can't have that when we're getting married in nine months! What if I painted my nails? They do give off a shine..."
Lily rolled her eyes mentally and stalked off to the Gryffindor tower, hoping to catch James there and to lose Alice. Needless to say, the latter was impossible.
Alice followed Lily all the way through the corridors, ranting on about her relationship with Frank, something Lily has heard about a million and one times. Usually, she didn't mind, but now wasn't...a very good time.
By the time they arrived at the Fat Lady, Lily thought that her head might explode. After muttering the password to the Fat Lady (Fairy Lights) Alice continued on with her worries and plans for tomorrow.
"...so after the Three Broomsticks, I guess that we could get to Honeydukes, because you know how much he loves it there. Frank loves chocolate. I think he probably loves it more than Remus, and that's saying something! Then I guess that we could make it to Zonko's, because I know that he's dying to get something to get back at Sirius for stealing his Charms essay..."
It's when they entered the common room when Lily finally snapped.
"ALICE!" she yelled, turning towards her. "WOULD YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE ALREADY SO THAT I CAN GO AND TELL JAMES POTTER THAT I LIKE HIM?"
She froze, realizing what she had just said. A stony silence seemed to have captured the room. Alice's eyes widened in shock, and so did many others in the room. Many heads were turning towards her, including the Marauders's.
Bullocks.
"Lily?" said James slowly, approaching her.
She stood there, not responding. James held her hand.
Alice giggled softly. "I'll leave you two alone, then."
She skipped towards the girls' dormitories, no doubt waiting to pounce on Lily at the first opportunity.
"Lily?" called James again. Lily turned to him slowly.
"Did I just say that out loud?" she asked weakly. James nodded.
"Mate," said Sirius shakily. "She must be talking about another James Potter. There's no way- after six years..."
James ignored him and continued to stare into Lily's green eyes.
"Is that what you've been trying to tell me?" he asked again.
She sighed. "Yes, but then I keep getting interrupted! First, Professor McGonagall came, and then when I saw you outside I couldn't pluck up the courage to ask you, and when I did Hestia came, not to mention that during Charms it was me who made your bag split. But even then Mary came to find me. Then Sirius came to find you to get to the kitchens and then there was Remus during rounds and-"
Lily was cut off with James pressing his lips to hers, his arms around her waist. She froze for a moment before realizing what was happening. She closed her eyes and enjoyed it while thinking:
James Potter is kissing me.
James Potter is kissing ME.
James Potter is KISSING me.
JAMES POTTER IS KISSING ME!
OH MY GOD!
After several long moments, they broke apart, both of them breathing heavily. James leaned his forehead against hers, staring into her eyes.
"You talk too much," he told her, smiling before leaning in and kissing her again.
The common room erupted into a really looud cheer. Some people were collecting bets; some girls were glaring at Lily enviously; some boys were staring in disbelief, but many were clapping and cheering for them. A few were congragulating James on finally getting his girl, and Sirius was doing some weird jig while whooping and yelling, "That's my Prongs!" Remus was beaming at them, and Peter has appeared to have fainted.
The couple broke apart again, and silence fell upon the room. Lily and James continued to stare into each others eyes.
"Well?" Remus demanded. "Aren't you going to ask her?"
James grinned. "Lily Evans, will you go out with me?"
Her face broke into a big, wide smile. "yes yes Yes Yes YES!" and flung herself into James arms.
The crowd cheered again. Some even came down from their dormitories to see what was going on, and their jaws dropped when they saw Lily Evans in James Potter's arms.
"Finally," muttered Lily. "I've been wanting this for this whole week."
James grinned at her. "That's true Lily, but I win that contest. I've been waiting for four years."
