Chapter 10: Blue

It was a Friday afternoon and James was looking for Lily to talk to her. Just to talk, nothing special, but he couldn't find her anywhere.

'Where does she go?' asked James to himself. He went to his room to get the Marauders map when he remembered that Sirius took it. Sirius was just as hard to find as Lily so James continued his search without it.

'Umm, sorry Lily, but I think I should cancel our date.' said a voice nearby.

The first thing James did was nothing. He froze. A thought went into his head. Someone asked Lilt out. He was furious until he realized it said I should cancel our date. A wave of relief came over him and he just stood where he was listening in.

'But, why?' asked Lily to the boy.

James couldn't see the boy since he was at the corner of the hallway, but he saw a little bit of Lily's long wavy red hair.

The boy didn't say anything.

'Luke, tell me. And what happened to you? Who did this to you?' said Lily in full concern.

James took a chance and quickly peeked out. He saw a yellow hair boy in Ravenclaw's uniform, but the white bandaged outstand the blue robes. The boy was beat up.

'Nothing, I- I fell.' said Luke

'No, stop lying.'

'Lily, just please leave me alone.'

There was silence until Lily finally said 'Alright Luke.' and with that she walked away the other way from James.

The further the sound of steps of Lily fainted, the further James got angry.

This guy just hurt Lily! Just like the other one! With the same line! Go away.

Of course James used the same line with Kim, but at least they dated. This guy didn't even give Lily a chance! Poor Lily…

-

Why, why, why? thought Lily. Why won't anybody go out with me?

Lily was by the lake sitting down on the grass, thinking.

It was unfair that she was cursed with this horrible spell. Lily had a bad history with men, actually not even a history at all! They never gave her a chance! Always they ask, then they arrange a date, but right before the date they back out!

Am I THAT horrible? Maybe it's someone else's doing… I bet it's that Bellatrix. I bet she put on a curse on me! That'll explain why every guy who asked me out got hurt… Or maybe it's just me! I can't blame this on anybody… that won't be fair… but the world isn't being fair with me right now! I- I just don't know what to do….

Lily lay back seeing the clear blue sky with birds complementing them. She closed her eyes remembering her first and only date. It was fourth year and she was in the great hall one afternoon studying for a potions test when a blue hair boy walked past her table.

Flashback

She remembered staring at his hair because it was blue. Literally blue. Dark blue, he must have died it. Then, as if he read her thoughts he turned and stared back to Lily. Lily, being as well Lily, didn't turn away and blush likes some others. She starred right back. The blue hair boy smiled in a sly kind of way and came up to her.

'Hi' said the boy

'Hello' replied Lily

'What are you studying?'

'Oh, just potions…'

'Oh? What year are you in?' asked the boy looking down at the book.

'Four. You?'

'Oh, I'm older than you… I'm in sixth.'

'Oh, then that's great then! You can help me!'

The boy looked sort of surprised at first but then a smile came along. Sitting in front of her he began to ask what she was working on….

A week later Lily came out of her potion's class with a happy smile.

'Yo.' said a voice

Lily turned in seeing the blue hair boy, Jake.

'So….?'

'I did great! And it's all thanks to you!' said Lily waving around her A paper.

'I told you, you can do it!'

'Yes!'

'I think we should go celebrate! In hogsmeade this week!' said Josh walking up the stairs with Lily.

'You mean, like a date?' asked Lily.

'Yeah, like a date.'

Lily grinned with the reply of 'Sure!'

The hogsmeade trip was tomarrow and luckily for Lily, Peter had also had a date which meant that she didn't need to accompany with him when the others went with their dates.

They, of course, had a great time. They learned that they had many similar interests and they were both glad that they we're even in the house, so they talked about quidditch and whole loads of stuff. The two went into many different stores and had fun playing with anything they never saw before, like the popping rock candy that'll explode a hundred different kind of sweets in one pop. Or like the dancing musical box that has moving pictures on it. In the end they both agreed to go out again since today was so much fun.

But sadly there was no next time….

'Lily,' said Josh. 'Lily I-'

'Josh! What happened to you!' asked Lily seeing Josh covered with bruises.

'Oh these, it's nothing. Got attacked by er some… some bugs.'

'What!'

'Listen, I think we shouldn't meet again, I had a great time and all but err I have a girlfriend already.' said Josh all too fast.

Lily was in shock. She never thought this would happen so suddenly. So dizzy…

'What?' asked Lily, surprised she still had her voice.

'Yeah, I'm sorry.' said Josh looking down.

Lily didn't want his pity. Pity for what! For me! How- How can he… Lily turned and ran.

She didn't look back nor did he call out for her.

End

Lily sighed then opened her eyes. When she expected to see the clear blue sky, she saw a head blocking her way.

'Lily?' it was James.

'Oh hey.' said Lily getting up.

'What's wrong?' asked James

'Nothings wrong, why?' asked Lily looking away from James.

'Well, you seem, a bit tired and sad…'

'Oh it's nothing…'

'Lily, if you have a problem you should talk to us, to me.' said James with worry.

'It's nothing, really.' said Lily looking back at James.

'I know you have a problem Lily, but maybe you won't talk because… I'm a boy?' asked James

Lily looked at James with surprise, but all of a sudden she began to laugh.

'What?' asked James

'Oh James, you can be the most silliest person I know.' said Lily trying to stop her giggles.

'Even more than Sirius?' asked James with a grin.

'Even more than Sirius.' replied Lily.

'So, is that the answer?' asked James again. 'Is it because I'm a boy you can't talk to me about your problems?'

'Maybe…' said Lily with a sigh.

'Then let's get you a girlfriend, I mean a friend who is a girl…'

'James, I think you may be right… I will get a girlfriend! I mean a friend who is a girl. I just realized that I only had Vanessa as my girl-friend but it was worst of luck when she had to move away…' said Lily.

'Well it's time we find you a new one! You can't always hang around with boys you know…'

Lily began to laugh again then finally the two of them went back into the castle.

-

Three days later Lily finally found a friend. Alley. She was a Ravenclaw but that didn't stand in the way of both loving the same author of their favorite book.

'Umm excuse me, but is that a new edition of 'Killing Me'?' said a girl one day to Lily.

'Yes! I just love these series! Do you know them?' asked Lily to the girl.

The girl was quite pretty when Lily saw her face. She was almost the same height as Lily, but a bit shorter and had long black hair tied up into a one ponytail.

'Know them? I love them!' said the girl. 'Hi, I'm Alley and can I borrow this book sometime?'

Lily laughed with a saying of 'I'm Lily, and sure you can borrow it.'

That was the start but they came to realize they had more things in common. And soon after that they became good friends.

James saw all this. Lily now brought Alley into their room whenever they were all just hanging out. The group seemed to like Alley and Lily, James saw, was happy. And because of that James seemed to be happy too. So he moved on. He met Nicole. A French blonde hair girl that James just couldn't resist.
