Tainted Blue
by Mauve Lipgloss
AUTHORS NOTE: Okay, I want to answer some reviewers questions/comments:
Celtic Ember: I apologize about the short chapter last time, but it will work into the plot. I don't feel like revealing too much at once. Most of the other chapters will be somewhat longer than the one in Chapter 10.
Others: Thank you!
G.D. Jade: My pleasure! I strive to make life un-boring for all of you!
OTHER AUTHORS NOTE: Out of curiosity, for all of those British readers out there, I want to know, it football actually football over there, or is it soccer? I need it for one of the chapters in "I never knew what they meant until now…"
DEDICATION: To any of the 17 people who have reviewed "Kareoke Night II: Take Two" or the 40 "I never Knew what they meant until now…"

"YOU HORRIBLE LITTLE CHILDREN! DISRUPTING MISS EVANS LIKE THAT!" Madame Pomfrey was full of herself.
James, Sirius and Remus stared at her like she was insane, which she most likely was. She simply glared at them.
"Madame Pomfrey, we are hardly children…we are Professors at this school and deserve to be treated as so!" Remus said suddenly. Madame Pomfrey started at them, and Remus prepared to be yelled at, but it never came.
"I see…I'm sorry I said that boys. I guess I never really noticed that you three grew up from those little pranksters you once were-" She was interrupted by a series of coughing from Sirius.
"We haven't changed *that* much yet, Poppy!" Everyone laughed. Lily began to cough as she laughed, and immediately Madame Pomfrey rushed over to her.
"DIDN'T I TELL YOU BRATS TO LEAVE?"
Lily smiled apologetically at them, but they shrugged it off, they were used to the insane Matron and her odd tempers.

Professor Dumbledore was pacing around in his study, trying to figure out what exactly Voldemort wanted from Lily and James.
James. There was something about him that made Voldemort angry, and Dumbledore wanted to know what that one thing was. He was still waiting for their family records from his grandmother. Once he saw those he had no doubt his suspicions were correct.
Lily, however, was a bit harder to figure out. What Voldemort wanted from a Muggleborn was beyond his knowledge, especially seeing how Voldemort hated Muggles and muggleborn wizards and witches.
He paced around his office, lost in his thoughts. After a few moments had passed, he heard the slight tapping noise.
A beak, Blanch had returned from the Potters.
This was the moment, it was time to see what was so special about James.

"WE ARE GOING TO BE TAKING WHAT?" Four – count that FOUR – angry voices yelled at the trembling prefect.
"P-Professor D-D-Dumbledore and M-McGonagall request that all students in their s-seventh year take c-charm and b-beauty c-class." The prefect repeated, before fleeing the room in complete and utter terror.
Alex, Christmas, Liyana, and Joanne stared at each other, utter horror and revolt etched on their faces.
"Us? Charm and Beauty classes?" Alex questioned, pale-faced.
"Why would we need them? Aren't we already charming AND beautiful?" Liyana asked worriedly, running to the mirror.
Christmas laughed, "I think they just want to fix out manners…right?"
"How should we know?"
"Yeah!"
"We asked YOU, Christmas!"
"Oh, that's right!"
"Ugh…" Three voices muttered.

Lily emerged from the Hospital wing twenty minutes later feeling better than she had in weeks. She was fit, happy, and Voldemort/Deatheater free at the moment.
However, she was not free of James. She was stuck with him everyday for the remaining three months of school. How she would survive was beyond her.
Oh, it wasn't that she didn't like him –no– it was the exact opposite, she ADORED him. Ever since the night she was attacked and he had saved her, she had been getting some odd feelings whenever she thought of him.
She had always been attracted to him…who wasn't? With the looks he had, he could have anyone he wanted -- girl or guy. Even guys were attracted to him. With two gay best friends, Lily was ready to bet that James preferred guys as well.
'Oh well, one can wish…' she thought dreamily as she turned the corner.
* * *
James had been in his classroom working on some papers when the door opened to reveal Professor Flitwick.
"James, Dumbledore wants to see you, he said it's urgent. I'll take over you're classes today, it's most likely you won't be back until tomorrow."
James studied the shorter man. "What is going on?"
"Dunno…said it had to do with your family though…"
In a flash James had bolted out of the room towards the Headmasters office.
* * *
James groaned as he walked down the corridor. First Flitwick comes to his room, going on about Dumbledore. Then, he had to meet up with Sirius and Remus, the two were trying to think of ways to hook him up with his dream match. What a day he was having.
Funny…they had never asked him whether he preferred guys or girls. They probably assumed guys, not that it wasn't the natural thing for them to do.
He did know, for a fact, however, that he liked girls.
Girls like Lily.
'Bloody hell, where did THAT come from?' James thought to himself.
How could he like Lily? She was a year younger, a Ravenclaw, cunning, swift, and ambitious. She was too polite at times, she was quick-tempered, arrogant, and…and…
Perfect. He couldn't describe it, but he had feelings for her whether he wanted to admit it or not.
Snorting to himself, he turned the corner.
* * *
"OUCH!"
"OUCH!"
"GERR-OFF ME!"
"AHH!"
Two bodies collided at the corner and rolled along the corridor. When they stopped rolling, the redhead female and raven-head male tried to untangle themselves.
Green eyes meet Brown.
"Lily?"
"James?"
* * *
In a clearing miles and miles and miles away from Hogwarts, a large gathering of hooded people began to laugh.
Tome Riddle in the lead.
* * *
BWHA! Okay, the next chapter will be some more action, and James realizes he loves Lily…but Lily is still confused. Also, Sirius and Remus get a nasty shock when they learn James likes girls…and James gets a nasty shock when he learns he is related to…[SURPRISE]
Most of you will guess anyway…but there are TWO OF THEM! [No, not Voldemort!]
AUTHORS NOTE: For those of you who are wondering, I changed my pen name to Mauve Lipgloss instead of Nari-chan.
