Sketches of New England

based on a semi-true story


Summery:

Lily Evans has always loved him. She has been there at the darkest of times, and been his comfort. It's only once her female Quidditch team from another school, goes against all the others in his school. The problem: 'men' play sports. What will happen once the love of his life and his favorite sport, go head on head? War, that's what.

James/Lily


A/N: I really don't have the world's greatest excuse, but I can only say homework and other problems caught up with me- along with a few writer blocks that severely frustrated me for days. Also, It's kind of hard to spend even 5 minutes on a computer chair when you just got a tattoo down your back lol It's japansese kanji, if you're wondering, I absolutely love it :)

Also, I've been working on a new Inu/Kg story, which also took up some time and helped unblock some areas of this chapter I continuously worked on. Without further ado, please enjoy this lovely long chapter!

Please read this mushy chapter before slaughtering me :)

And don't forget to read the new very first chapter, it's now re-written!

Chapter Six


Spring: it's cold, there's snow guck everywhere, the tree's have sticky budding leaves, vicious baby animals are becoming apart of the ecosystem, and spring cleaning comes in numbers of chores. Students from Hogwarts had been given the ten days of May off, and most of them ran for the hills. Once Lily had returned back to her real bedroom, she began to realize how lame the peach walls were once viruses took over; A.K.A. 'The Flu'. This consists of a week in bed watching a black and white TV screen, and an average of seven days with pathetic show re-runs. She should have just stayed at Hogwarts, and been suckered into helping Miss McGonagle cleaning classrooms. It would have been more interesting then her pathetic peach bedroom walls, which seemed to be closing in around her.

It was around the fifth day of her mini vacation when a plague arrived; James Potter of course. What had her delightful parents and his planned of course? A deadly weekend with the jerk face watching over her, while the 'rents went to Fiji.

She wanted to go to Fiji! Apparently, to her disgust, it was for business and James was just as bored at his own house. Lily remembered how she screamed until her throat became raw, and her parents hugged her goodbye. Why did not the Potters leave their lovely son at home? She would have been much better off with the house to herself (Petunia was at some beach in some remote location or whatever), calling over the girls for a huge two day sleepover- which had alcohol and tubs of chocolate ice cream in it.

'But nooooo! I get stuck with jerk face, his rules, and his ability to make sure I only get out of bed for the loo!'

A pout creased her lips as her bedroom door was opened. James stood there with a clinging black muscle t-shirt, and a pair of red swim shorts. From the looks of it, mainly his glistening skin and wind tossed hair; he had been playing Quidditch out back. Lily ignored him, trying to find interest in the TV at the foot of her bed. She knew perfectly well why the girls swarmed around him, and she did not want to fall into that trap again. Lily remembered when she seriously fell for James, during a small Quidditch match in his monstrous back yard. It seemed now that everything was about Quidditch - Quidditch, Quidditch, Quidditch, Quidditch, and QUIDDITCH! She would not be surprised if she named her kid after some Quidditch player, and not opt for something lame like Harry (even her peach walls weren't that lame).

"You know, 'I Love Lucy', has become the Muggle's newest popular family show. Glad you joined the band wagon."

"Oh, go fuck yourself."

"Tsk, tsk. Does your mother know you use such nasty words?"

"Of course, I learned them from you."

"You always have had horrible come backs."

"I can see your point, but I still think you're full of shit."

"I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth.."

"Too bad you used most of it with your pool boy last night."

James walked into her room with a piercing glare, his fists clenched on both sides of his body. Lily's worst horror then came into focus. James leaned over her and raised his pulsing fist in the air, ready to swoop down and into her face. Her heart began to lurch as his arm moved.

BAM!

Dust fell onto her head, and the weight from his body lifted off her. Lily gasped, blood rang through her ears, fingers clenched the bed cover, and bright green eyes glistened with fear. A sob reached her throat and one by one, tears fell onto her pajama top. If you had gotten to know this girl, you would have realized how traumatized and weak she felt about emotional fighting. She couldn't hold a tear back to save her life.

A soft voice echoed above her, "The color of your walls always calmed me."

With that note, the door softly clicked shut. She laid there in her room, her sick immune system taking a wail on her heart. James had a fearsome personality when he became mad, so much anger she remembered, could shatter glass. Hours passed, and she waited until James left her house before moving a muscle. Once she heard the front door lock downstairs, she rose from bed wiping her puffy eyes. Her soft purple toe-nailed feet, silently padded across the blue carpet and into the cold hallway.

Fingers flipped the bathroom light on, blinding rays ripping into her retinas. Groaning, Lily wrinkled her eyes shut before slipping into the hallway to get a towel. Opening the small closet in the corridor, she reached for a large fuzzy maroon towel. The folding closet door shut, and Lily gazed into her parent's room on her left.

Her arms gathered behind his neck, creating little space between their bodies. A soft tune came from the T.V. as the couple swayed slowly, their skin softly brushing another's. They danced, their first one, and to an unknown song. The redhead lifted her eyes and stared at herself in her mother's dresser mirror, a little smile spreading across her lips.

Lily's reflection in the mirror stood still, in her pajamas and a towel pressed to her chest. Her eyes spilled, dripping onto the maroon cloth. The glowing light from the bathroom thinned out as the door closed shut.

The clock struck two P.M. when Lily had finished blow drying her hair, and the used towel lay damp in her hamper basket. Plugging in her curling iron and flicking the switch, the redhead rose from the seat and playfully raced out of her room. In a better mood, she skidded into the kitchen doing a rock star pose, a large grin adorning her profile. Within seconds a large bowl filled with chocolate ice cream, and Smarties were up to the rim, a large metal spoon right in the middle.

"Mmm, mm, mm!"

Licking the spoon, Lily walked into the living room towards the couch. Settling on the cushions and placing the bowl on the coffee table, she reached to the side table for the phone. Her finger settled on the number five once she stopped moving, realizing none of her magical friends lived in her neighborhood- let alone owned a phone. Now what was she supposed to do, fly over? A smile grew on her face, and then faded once she remembered her Beu 203 was at Hogwarts.

"You shouldn't really talk to yourself out loud, especially when your ideas are really stupid."

The energy inside Lily had been formed into the loudest scream, one so loud her ice cream bowl cracked on the table. Once the screaming stopped, a figure peered over the coffee table, and blinked at the surprised red head. Lily's eyes narrowed once she caught sight of the person hiding.

"Eva, you're ridiculous!"

The brown eyed friend stuck out her tongue at Lily, once she rose from her hiding spot. Her freckles were softer looking than ever, and Eva had chopped that wavy dark brown hair to her chin. Grinning, Eva gave an innocent look and scuttled over to the red head. The girls settled calmly onto the couch again, only to hug each other in fear and screams interlaced when another girl apparated in front of them. The suddenly appearing person fell over backwards in shock, making the girls on the couch scramble against its back.

"MERLIN!"

Miisa rose to her feet after her tumble, and stood with hands on her hips. Lily groaned and covered her ears, mumbling something about screeching.

"Okay", Miisa rumbled, "Eva, I'm going to kill you for beating me here first, along with SCREAMING YOUR BRAINS OUT!"

Eva glared from her pathetic looking position, and walked up to her twin.

"I wouldn't have SCREAMED, if you hadn't pushed me down the stairs and into mom!"

"What does screaming out your brain; have to do with what I did at home? You screamed because I scared you, admit it!"

"You didn't scare me! You surprised me is all.."

"Pssh, BS, sis. You get scared when you're in the shower and someone walks in to grab a hair brush off the sink."

"That only happened once!"

"Shut up! It proves you're pathetic!"

"'Am not!"

"Are so, Miss Beauxbatons!"

"So we're French and Irish, big deal!"

"In your school, girls die when their nail polish gets a freaken chip!"

"YOU GUYS! SHUT UP!"

The two twins snapped their mouths shut and stared wide eyed at Lily. Waving around the ice cream spoon in her hand, their friend pointed at them with it.

"Okay, I love you girls, but stop your sibling bickering. As you well know, jerk face is babysitting my pathetic ass and I want out of here. So, do you guys have any ideas where we could hang out till tomorrow when my parents get back?"

The twins grinned at Lily, and at once spoke two words: "Dra Den."

Lily could only return the mischievous smile.

SONE

Smoke filtered through the dance club, glittering lights and the loud live band filled the room. The smoke was disturbing Lily's nose, and which caused her to sneeze frequently. Sniffling, she juggled the three overflowing drinks, in her arms over to her table. Miisa and Eva stopped arguing once Lily sloshed the drinks down on the table, earning a hoot and holler from them. Grinning drunkenly, the redhead sat down in a chair, instantly draining her Blue Z drink. A buzz went through her body, and the twins were laughing over their already empty glasses. Suddenly Miisa stood up and declared loudly, she wanted to go dance with some hot boy. Eva stared as her sister went off into the moving crowd, like she had been pulled into sinking sand.

Before Lily could even utter a "What the hell?" a boy walked over to their table, his brown eyes set on the last twin. The band got louder, the moving pit of sweating bodies screamed in joy, and Lily still heard the teenage boy ask Eva to dance. Eva stood and started to walk away, hand in hand with the random boy, before turning around and yelling at Lily to come with her. Smirking, Lily sauntered with Eva into the crowd.

Shoulders were brushing everyone else's, laughter deafened her, and hands randomly touched Lily's back as she moved into the group. Before she realized it, Eva had been pushed into another sector of the crowd, completely abandoning the witch. Confused, she wondered if she should just go back to the table, or just stay in the rowdy pit. Fate, however, had a different plan for that night. A warm hand touched her shoulder, and a body rubbed close against Lily's back. Sparks shot up through her spine, flowing through her arms and lingering in her pounding heart. Spinning around, a pair of bright blue eyes stared lusciously back at her. It was her newest interest, the Italian god, Aidan Mavreen.

His auburn hair was straight, falling over his eyes, she noticed with immense interest. Aidan wore a grey t-shirt with "Board Games" printed in red lettering and dark blue jeans, which most likely showed off his beautiful ass. Lily was not a feet, eyes, neck, or chest fetish girl.. she loved the asses. Trying to keep in her drool, she smiled as seductively as she could muster. In her drunken state, all Lily could think about was kissing this man. She needed to be kissed.

"Hey Evans," he spoke, his voice sending wonderful chills between her legs.

"Hey."

He flicked his hair out of his eyes, "Did you want to sit down at a table with a few friends of mine? I promise they're not from Slytherin- they're muggles."

Lily looked at him in surprise, "Muggles?"

Aidan laughed (Lily wanted to molest his mouth), "Yeah, I'm a 'mudblood' for lack of better words, and I have a few friends from my home town with me tonight. So you wanna come?"

"Sure, it's getting too stuffy in this crowd anyway."

Aidan winked and grabbed her hand, softly pulling her back out from the growing mosh pit. Once out the two continued to hold hands, as they weaved in and out of people. Blush heated Lily's face, and before she knew it she was in front of Aidan's muggle friends. Though drunk, Lily wondered if his friends had known of Hogwarts-

"Do they know-"

Aidan smiled at her and shook his head, "Nope, just our little secret."

Lily blushed again, and the table of friends laughed. There were two couples sitting at the round table, in which Aidan introduced them as Couple A and Couple B. Once they all began to become comfortable and chat, Aidan announced he would get a round of drinks. Once leaving them, Lily was quickly turned into a gossip parade.

"Are you dating him?" The girl from Couple A, asked. This girl was named Amanda, she had short black hair, a blue tank top and a long grey skirt on. So far, Lily really liked talking to her. Amanda's boyfriend (who's lap she was sitting on) was Jeremy Lock, a cute boy with long light-brown hair and a red t-shirt and faded jeans.

"I wouldn't be surprised; Aidan goes after what he likes- quite the persistent bugger."

Lily laughed at Shane's comment, who was the boy of Couple B. Shane had buzzed-cut blonde hair, and he was wearing a black shirt. Shane's arm was wrapped around his girlfriend's shoulder, who was sitting next to him in a chair. Her name was Brandy Cotidiano, a bubbly girl with long blonde hair.

"You may just be his next girlfriend you know," Brandy cooed.

Aidan came back with their drinks, and they all cheered happily. Lily began to lose track of the time and her other friends, more focused on her Italian god and the drinks that kept coming her way. Her vision began to become tipsy, so did her hand, and it was only three a.m. when the couples decided to head home. Aidan and Lily waved goodbye to their friends, and they went into a quiet place in the dark street. Being the gentleman he was, Aidan helped Lily apparate home, and walked her up to the door. The night was cold, but the night could not have been any more amazing. Aidan's arm was wrapped around her, and he turned to her under the porch light.

"Do you have keys-"

Lily pounced. Her mouth covered his, her warm needy lips pressed, and her tongue slid into his mouth. Aidan moved closer against her, his arms reaching under hers and his hands firmly pressing her shoulder blades towards him. Lily's inner thighs tingled, and she continued to wrap herself closer. Lily tilted Aidan's head back and began to ravish his moaning throat. Her hands began to rise under his shirt, curving around his soft flexing abs. The redhead hummed against his throat, which earned a gasp from Aidan-

And a pissed-off ex boyfriend opening the front door.

Lily could only remember being pulled from Aidan's melting touch and shoved harshly into her empty house. The front door slammed shut, shaking the walls as Lily tried to stand from her fallen position on the floor. Someone was yelling, cursing, and pulling her to her feet. Her green eyes tried to focus, but the alcohol had already taken over her. There was something about this furious boy in front of her, his gripping hands cold, not warm like Aidan's. Suddenly Lily was thrown against a wall, the boy talking to her riotously, holding her arms on either side of her head.

She was not scared of him, in which she should be but was not. This confused her; any person would be scared if they were thrown to the floor, yelled at, and now being held against their will. Lily's eyes fell onto his lips, and her mind wondered why they looked so familiar. Maybe she knew this person? He seemed so customary to her daily life, and for some purpose she could not place a name to his face. All she knew was-

Lily looked into his eyes and leaned forward slowly, pressing her intoxicated lips to his. Quickly she began to memorize his lips with her own, and slowly his own began to move with hers. It was when they began a furious French kiss when her arms were released, and in which they envelope around his warm neck. Lily moved her mouth from his suddenly, inhaling, the pounding of her heart blasting in her ears. This man.. he.. was so exhilarating. His kisses were smoldering her lips, his aroused body was creating a sexual knot in her stomach- he was everything Aidan was not.

It finally hit her hard then, and her eyes opened in surprise.

"Oh Merlin, I can't believe it's you Ja-"

"Obliviate."

All Lily remembered that night was going out with her friends, meeting Aidan, making out with Aidan in front of her house, and waking up the next morning with no one home.

SONE

Miisa's head was throbbing, as she sat up a wave of her drinks dizzied her. It was morning, and from her surroundings, she seemed to be sleeping in her back yard on the veranda swing. Groaning in pain, she forced herself up to a sitting position, her hand was pushing on something warm and soft. Turning her head, she could not contain her scream of horror. As the mysterious boy woke and tried to calm her down, she just continued to yell before apparating out of there.

Lily stared at her ceiling in pain, not only did her knees hurt, but so did her neck and head. She never usually had a head ache after being drunk, she actually was normal after a drinking night (no matter how many drinks she had). Sitting up, she tipped backwards back onto her bed. There was no way she could survive another day without an Advil, especially with Potter around. Blinking, the redhead sat up, where was that jerk anyway? He usually was up here making her life hell by now.

Shrugging, Lily got out of bed and struggled to get to her dresser mirror. Inspecting herself, she noticed a round mark on her neck.

"Is that a hickey? What the hell, it looks like someone stabbed me with a stick."

A flash of Aidan's warm body captured her mind, however she did not remember him sucking her neck.. Lily struggled to remember the night, starting from when Eva and Miisa came over, till she got home with-

"OI, STOP YOU, GET BACK HERE, WE HAVE TO TALK!"

Lily stared at her open bedroom door, wondering who the hell was running downstairs- was James awake or something? Walking over to her door and into the hallway, she was attacked by Miisa, and a dark-haired boy in hot pursuit.

"Merlin Henly, let me explain?"

Lily stared in shock,"Eh? What the hell Sirius!"

Sirius glared at Miisa behind Lily's back, panting heavily, and mentally making note of how fast that girl could run. Clearing his throat, he wiped his forehead and dusted off his jeans.

"Okay, Henly, you didn't let me explain-"

"PERVERT!"

"Would you shut up?"

"I'm sorry, but I don't usually wake up with a hormonal boy sleeping next to me!"

"Only on weekends."

"Oh, you bastard-"

Lily screamed, gaining attention from both parties.

"What the fuck is going on? Someone explain!" The redhead pleaded, her head starting to pound.

"Last night little whore here went out partying, and I was going to your house Lily to check up on you- however I was knocked over by a running girl, heading over to a bush to vomit. I was gonna just walk away, but I noticed it was Miss Bitch puking her insides out and I wanted to get her home or something- Plus I knew if you found out Miisa was alone and drunk, you'd kill me for not helping her out-"

"True, I would strangle him," Lily commented.

Sirius continued, "Any how, Miss Bitch continued to vomit, and once I asked her where she lived, etcetera, she began to.."

Miisa studied Sirius, narrowing her eyes, "What did I assumedly do?"

Sirius smirked, "You told me you needed chocolate, because your 'ta-tahs' told you so."

The brunette turned a bright shade of red, Lily already began to laugh until her body hurt and she plopped onto the floor with tears in her eyes.

"Ta-tahs?" She laughed weakly.

"Shut up!" Miisa barked, covering her face, mortified.

"Ah, that's nothing compared to what she confessed when I got her to her house," Sirius laughed, "She said she had a crush on her Headmaster, and that Lily went to shag a Slytherin at the club."

Lily stopped laughing and Miisa continued to hide her face, while Sirius began to laugh. Mumbling, the girls walked past Sirius and downstairs into Lily's kitchen, to find something sugary sweet to take away the memories. What a horrible school break it had been, Lily realized, looking into her ice cream empty freezer.

The entrance door clicked and clanked, the locks being opened by a key. Lily heard the noise and left the kitchen, just in time to see the front door swing open. Four laughing adults sauntered in, their luggage's hovering, and their skin darkly tanned. Lily blinked at them, taking in their new appearance. Her mother turned to her, beautiful white flowers in her hair.

"Lily! Are you all better? We missed you!"

Her mother enveloped her in a bear hug, which Lily tried to protest with embarrassment. Lily's father just smiled and ruffled her hair, while the Potter's looked on.

"Lily?" Mrs. Potter asked, "Is James around? We thought to collect him before we left for home."

"Actually, no, I haven't seen him since yesterday morning.."

"You know, 'I Love Lucy', has become the Muggle's newest popular family show. Glad you joined the band wagon."

"Go fuck yourself."

"Tsk, tsk. Does your mother know you use such nasty words?"

"Of course, I learned them from you."

"You always have had horrible come backs."

"I can see your point, but I still think you're full of shit."

"Really?" Mrs. Potter continued, "Well, I guess so- anyway, see you guys later!"

The Potter's grabbed their luggage's, held hands, and waved good bye as they apparated home. Two soft pop's in the air was the only thing left of them. Lily sighed as her mother released her, already starting to talk about their trip in Fiji. The teenager just stared at the entrance door, wondering where James had actually gotten to. Sure, the guy was a jerk through and through, but he wouldd never abandon a sick person- accept Severus. Did he hate her that much, or did something happen?

SONE

The engine steam ran through her auburn hair, as she stood with her luggage beside her. Sirius stood beside her as well, looking at her with worried eyes. Since her parents had come home, Lily had been in a daze till now. She wore her own school uniform, everything neatly in place, besides her very loose necktie. Her willow wand was between her fingers, in which she played with it absentmindedly.

"Sirius?"

The boy nodded to her.

Lily sighed, her eyes still on the train, "If I asked you a question, would you lie to me, or tell me the truth?"

"Depends."

Lily turned to him, her eyes misted in thoughts, "Why was James carrying an invisibility cloak the night of the full moon? Along with the fact I saw a werewolf outside, and he came back through the front doors bleeding? Is he just an idiot or is there something else to the story?"

"Lily I.. I'm sorry, I can't tell you. I promised-"

The redhead glared at him, quickly picking up her things," I knew it, even though you're just as mad at James, you still protect him. I never even knew he had an invisibility cloak, let alone why the fuck he goes out on full moons! I guess I really wasn't that important, yet I brought him out of depression and suicide, spilled my heart to him, and yet he can't even do the same? I'm glad we broke up, and along with him, you can't just leave me the hell alone!"

She left, so furious she growled at anyone near her, and loudly made her way onto the train. Sirius stood on the platform of 9 ¾, his body in shock of what just happened. Though, even more so at her words: "-I guess I really wasn't that important, yet I brought him out of depression and suicide, spilled my heart to him, and yet he can't even do the same?-"

"Depression and suicide?" Sirius questioned out loud.

The redhead stumbled onto the chattering train, picking up her feet; she searched for an empty compartment. She passed through foggy glass doors, peaking through them as she continued on. Lily's ambition started to fall as she reached one end of the train, but before she could turn around, a hand tapped her shoulder. Turning around, ready to bite someone's head off, unbelievably she faced the last person she expected: Aidan Mavreen. Ocean blue eyes sparkled down at her, catching the breath in her throat. This boy was always so gorgeous. Always so tasty looking-

"Are you looking for a compartment, Lily?"

She melted at the sound of his voice, just like chocolate left in the sun.

"Well, I-"

Aidan smiled, his eyes shimmering, "Don't worry about it; I don't have anyone to sit with anyway. It'd be my pleasure to be with you."

Nodding dumbly, Aidan picked up her trunk and turned into the compartment on his left. Lily followed closely behind him, not getting enough of his cologne. His dark auburn hair glowed in train light, and the witch became entranced with the color. The train shuttered and lurched, starting to move out of the platform. This quick movement sent Lily to her knees, flailing as she hurled downwards. She closed her eyes, and when she realized she was not eating floor she opened them again. Aidan had dropped her luggage on the seat, to just grab her before she fell. His strong arms were wound around her, and hers lay lifeless at her side. The moment broke when the glass door rattled open, showing a disgusted Slytherin.

"Mavreen, I thought you had more dignity than this."

"Malfoy."

Indeed, a young handsome man stood before them, his long blonde hair pulled back. His black school cloak lay folded in his arms; he was obviously looking for somewhere to change.

"Once again, Mavreen, dignity."

The teenager left, with a girl trailing behind him. Lily stared, wide-eyed at the sudden intrusion.

"Don't mind him," Aidan spoke, standing up. "He's always cold hearted to those who associate with Gryffindors."

Lily blinked at him, "Gryffindors?"

"Yeah, since you were dating James Potter, and he's in Gryffindor-"

"Well, that's just stupid."

Aidan looked at her, "Stupid?"

"Well yeah," she spoke, lifting her luggage onto the above rack. "Anyone who hates anyone that is in a different House, is just stupid. It's like saying I hate you, because you're a god- Oh Merlin, I did not just say that!"

Aidan stared at her before laughing loudly, Lily's horrified expression fueling it. Squeaking, Lily rushed out of the compartment, in search of the girls' washroom. Once locked into the small room, Lily looked at herself in the mirror.

"Are you stupid?" She screamed at herself, "Do you know you're an embarrassment to women world wide right now!"

After a half hour had passed, feeling that her punishment to herself was enough, Lily wandered out of the washroom. She had not even blinked before a sudden object shoved her aside, crashing her into the wooden wall.

"Oi! Jackass!" She spluttered out, standing back up.

Lily seethed as she felt pain, blood coming profusely from her skinned knee. Whipping out her wand from her skirt pocket, she aimed it at the figure walking away.

"DIFFINDO!"

The person's sweater slit in a large rip, the sleeves and back falling apart. The person whirled around, their wand already out.

"INCENDIO!"

Lily's skirt caught fire, in which she quickly muttered a spell for water. Her anger grew like fire; she dropped her wand, her eyes facing the opponent. With a quick pop, she disappeared in thin air. The other stood silent, looking around them for Lily. The redhead apparated in front of her attacker, and her heavy fist smashed into the side of her opponent. The person dropped to the floor, and doors in the corridor opened up, students rushing out to see the fight. Lily looked down in astonishment.

"Potter?"

James stared up at her, his glasses broken, and his nose was bleeding dark red.

"CONJUCTIVITUS!"

Lily's eyes became pink, and her vision started to dim.

"Potter! You may have blinded me, but I can still kick your arse!"

Lily dropped to the ground, reaching for James blindly, and once she grabbed his collar she broke his nose with her palm. The pair continued to physically hurt each other, yelling and kicking. It was halted when Sirius, Remus, and Peter pushed their selves into the cheering crowd. Sirius managed to rip Lily off James, while the other two held back their friend.

"I HATE YOU!" Lily screamed, blood coming from her cut lip.

Older students began to push away the younger ones, telling them it was over. The crowd began to quickly thin, and once only five people remained, the pair calmed down. Lily, losing her power to kill, she still cursed James.

"I hate you, I hate you so much. I hate you more than Petunia loathes me, more than any Slytherin or more than anyone else. I hate you since you left me behind, I hate you for being a selfish brat. I hate you for being a sexist man; I hate you for not believing. I hate you for not believing!"

"Not believing in what?" James laughed weakly.

Lily opened her eyes, their white color now red.

"I hate you, for not believing!"

"Spit it out, Princess!" James spat furiously.

Lily lifted her legs in the air, her back pressed against Sirius as he held her. Her thick athletic legs rose and smashed into James's face, crushing his nose and sadistic laughter.

"I HATE YOU FOR NOT BELIEVING IN ME!"

Sirius pulled Lily down the train hallway, her arms flailing as she screamed that she would kill James. The redhead continued to scream loudly, her voice beginning to become hoarse. She kicked and screamed until she lost her voice, and then she began to sob loudly. She cried until Sirius hugged her, and yet she continued on. Then she started to wail in pain, as if someone had ripped her heart out. Her pain continued on, and even when the compartment door opened, she still cried. Aidan Mavreen had walked in, and moving closer to her, ignoring Sirius, he called her name softly.

Lily turned her head towards him, tears clouding her vision. She did not know Aidan that well, but in her desperate and shattering break down; she jumped and clung to him. Her pale arms wrapped around his neck, and Lily clung to this man with all her strength. She needed love, she needed him, she needed someone..

The pair sat down on the ground, Aidan leaned against the bench as Lily curled in his arms. Aidan looked to the astonished Sirius Black.

"I know she's one of your friends, I know you don't like me, but I can please have a moment with her?"

Sirius agreed gruffly, and walked out of the room, to only stand outside the door.

Aidan laid his head upon Lily's, giving soft sshing sounds.

An older woman walked in, her own red hair messed from slumber, and tenderly held the young girl in her lap. The little girl's mother, with her soothing sshing noises calmed her down, until her cry had become tearful hiccups.

-

James hugged her, making soft sshing sounds to calm her down. The gash on her leg remained, but the pain inside subsided. Sad tearful green eyes looked up into his.

Glittering green eyes tearfully opened, salty tears slipping through her blinking eyelashes. Aidan held onto her tightly, his voice still making those soft soothing sounds. Her cold fingers moved to his white button-up shirt, and they curled inward until they gripped the material. Aidan moved his head to look down at her, and Lily looked up with red puffy eyes.

"You smell like cookies." She babbled, tears in her eyes.

Aidan just laughed softly, bending his head down and kissing her forehead.

SONE

"Ferula." Lily muttered, waving her wand.

Her cut up leg instantly healed, tiny white threads sealing her cut. Lily sighed, flopping back onto her Hogwarts bed. Once again, she still lived with Miisa and three other Gryffindors girls in the large dorm room. Alice Longbottom who had just entered the dorm, looked at Lily who had cuts and bruises all over her. Alice had talked to Lily a few times, and she took half of her courses as well. Setting down her trunk by her bed, Alice walked over to Lily. Lying down in opposite direction, Alice relaxed on Lily's bed.

"Did you win?" Alice asked.

"Win?" Lily spoke hoarsely.

"From your appearance, I can only guess you had a quarrel."

The redhead sighed, "Yes and no."

"Oh?"

Lily sat up half way, looking down at her socked feet.

"I did win the fight on the train, but I never one over all."

Alice sat up, crossing her legs under her.

"Girly issues, eh? I'm here to listen, and you don't have to tell me-"

Lily turned to Alice, her green eyes blinking back tears.

"Can I tell you everything? So I can have your opinion, maybe some advice?"

Alice nodded, adding it with a smile. Lily smiled back. Lily waved her wand at the four-poster-bed curtains, closing them closely together. Lily kneeled over the edge of her bed, bringing out a large jar. Swirling silvery strings were moving in the glass jar, just like liquid mercury. Lily set the cup between Alice and her, the attached lid on the jar's side.

"This is my pathetic Pensive. I haven't gotten around to buying a proper one yet."

Alice laughed, " I think it's cute, at least you thought of having one."

Lily blushed while scratching her head, "I guess.. Anyway, I thought I'd show you some of the main events, rather than telling. If I told you, you'd probably never know since I'd be blubbering the whole time."

Alice and Lily leaned over the glowing jar.

Three girls sat on a log within a shaded forest, their bare feet just reaching the tinkling brook below. Pink wildflowers surrounded them, glittering as streams of the sun hit their glossy petals. Two of the girls appeared to be twins; their hair cut the same, along with their matching summer dresses. One of the girls was away from the rest, carving letters into the old fallen over tree.

"So yeah, Lily I think you should meet him. He's a lot like you, you'd be surprised. He likes to write and read, watch muggle movies, and most of all Quidditch."

A fourteen year-old Lily smiled back at the twin, "Well, I guess, he does seem nice."

"Did you want me to send letter to him for you? Since you don't have an owl?"

"Hey, Missa, wait. I don't even know him though, and plus even if we like each other- it'll be impossible to spend time together. I mean he goes to Hogwarts while we go to Amina Amora, and we barely have long Holidays besides summer."

"So?"

Lily looked down at the shimmering stream, "Distance is hard for a relationship, so why even try?"

"Well," Missa spoke, "It doesn't hurt to try does it? And like every other love sick teen girl says, 'it's better to have loved, than to have loved at all.'"

"That's just total crap and you know it!"

"Yeah, but we have to follow in their footsteps."

"Ridiculous!" Lily shouted, laughing.

"Common, at least get to know him- Tell him to bugger off if he wants a relationship, at least this way you can know someone who likes a lot of things you do."

"Fine!" Lily agreed, getting up.

Lily and Alice rose back up from the small pensive.

"I take it you were talking about Potter?" Alice asked, tugging on her loose ponytail.

"Yeah, it was when Miisa had met him through her other friends- she instantly thought him and I would be the best of friends."

"I see."

"Okay," Lily spoke. "The next one is about four months later I think. I had started to write letters to Potter through Miisa's owl, and the relationship progressed so much that I wrote to him during school. Even though we had never met, Potter had asked me to be his girlfriend, which I wearily agreed to. He had sent me an early Christmas gift later on, which was a journal. Actually it was one of those magical ones, which had two or more notebooks that could be linked. It was like an instant conversation, I'd write something on my notebook, he'd receive the message in his, and then write back his reply. It was much easier than letters, and we could always instantly talk to each other. I could even pretend to be taking notes, but I'd just be talking to him. Alright, here we go."

Alice nodded and leaned in again, towards the shimmering pensive.

"I can't believe my mother suggested this.."

Lily looked through the house window, snow was falling heavily through the streets of London. It was a few days away from New Years Eve, James's Parents and hers agreed for the two to meet and spent the rest of the holiday together. Excited as she was, even though they exchanged photos of another, Lily was nervous beyond belief. Since her family was spending New Years with her relatives in London, James would be spending the week and a half with her here.

"They have the instructions to get here, right?" Lily's father asked, joining her at the frosty window.

"I wrote down the instructions, I even sent him a good map, marked the path in red pen."

A loud scream came from the backyard, where four of her younger cousins were. Lily's father left her and went to see what the racket was about. Turning away from the window, Lily went into the kitchen to look out the window, which stared at the backyard. Lily's eyes gazed out the window- suddenly her body completely froze and her heart almost stopped. There out in the snow, on broomsticks of all things, were four completely dry people. A black cloak was wrapped around a certain messy-haired boy, and he looked around in amazement. Lily squeaked in shock, ran out of the kitchen, and bolted up the stairs nervously.

"Lils, dear, you're boyfriend is here!"

"Mom!" Lily cried, getting red from embarrassment. Lily had stopped her race upstairs, her mother at the bottom with an all-knowing-grin.

"And where are you getting off to? Aren't you going to let them in?"

"What?" Lily's eyes widened, "You didn't let them in!"

"Well.. no."

"Mom!" Lily cried again, bolting back down the stairs.

Turning around the corner panting, Lily stood petrified at the scene. Her mother had let them in, and the three visitors laughed and talked with her relatives. Wait, where was James?

"Boo."

Lily shrieked loudly and a hand shot out from behind her, covering her mouth. Her voice was muffled by her attacker, and she was drug into a near by washroom. Once the door was shut, Lily was about the give the person a piece of her mind- until she saw two gorgeous chocolate eyes staring back. Here stood James Potter, he was wrapped in a clinging black turtleneck sweater, and black business slacks. Lily loved the color black on guys- outlined their muscles so well. Before Lily could speak, she was roughly shoved against the bathroom door.

"Talking, later." He spoke.

His mouth was instantly on hers, creating a large wave of tingles through her body. A warm luxurious feeling filled through her mouth, down her throat, and into her heart. Her mind completely fell into a blank mess, and it could only operate few words for her.

'He tastes like black lickerish.'

The two girls pulled back out of the pensive, interrupted by the rest of the girls coming into the dorm room. Lily smiled halfheartedly at Alice, who leaned over the pensive and hugged Lily tightly.

"Let's get some food from the Kitchen, preferably chocolate. We can talk about this later, okay?"

Lily agreed with a nod, and the two girls got off the bed. Lily shut the lid on the jar, muttered a locking charm, and placed it back under her bed. The glowing liquid lay on its side, radiating like a candle flame in the dark- until it was taken out again from under the bed.

SONE

Sirius sprinted through Hogwarts corridors, quickly searching down each hallway he passed on his way. He needed to talk to James, promptly. His dark eyes burned in anger, his previous conversation with Miisa fueling his search. He had bumped into her from his way back from the showers, and of all things she had been carrying a stack of papers.

"What the hell are these for anyway?" Sirius asked, helping Miisa pick the papers.

"They're letters and notes." She grumbled.

"Of?"

"Of none of your concern!"

"Seriously, you can tell me."

Miisa stopped picking up the papers, and looked up at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Well I guess, you might even be help to me."

The couple stood, Sirius's towel over his shoulder, and Miisa's papers back in her arms.

"I think I found out there's two Dawn's."

"What? Two? James is dating two people named Dawn?"

Miisa rolled her eyes at him, "No, he is only dating the one. Dated, or whatever."

"Even though she's easy, she's disgusting."

"Easy? You're the disgusting one. Anyway, as I was saying, there is two Dawn's- or so my evidence tells me."

"Evidence?" Sirius questioned.

Miisa waved a letter in front of his eyes, "Yes, see, evidence!"

"You're are really a busybody.." Sirius spoke, snatching the letter from her hand.

"I don't care; I'm trying to figure out this mystery. Lily told me there were two Dawn's, and since then I've been wasting my allowance on finding evidence, since she won't speak."

"Two Dawn's you say? Who's the other one?"

Miisa chewed her lip, "I have concluded who she is, but I don't really want to say- I mean I could be completely wrong, or I can get seriously killed for this."

"Just tell me."

He pulled himself up the staircase, one stone step at a time. He went passed the entrance of Dumbledore's office, and up a small wooden staircase. His footsteps became slower as he reached the top floor of the Astronomy tower. A dark figure stood looking out the classroom window.

"James!"

James turned around, his nose covered in a large bandage, and his bruises were slowly fading away.

"What, Black?" He growled.

Sirius seized him by the shoulders, gripping James's white school shirt harshly. His dark eyes glared into his friends, wishing it'd be so easy to make someone understand. The curiosity was so thick and urgent; he needed to know who Dawn was, no matter what it took. Lily had said it was why James was so mad at her, forsaken their relationship. He knew Dawn was a former Gryffindor student, Head girl, very smart, and was the missing puzzle piece to James's reason of hatred. Miisa even said, not telling him her full opinion, that this Dawn was very close to James when he was younger. He shook his friend, shook once, then twice, and began to speak in a gnarling manner.

"Who is Dawn?"

James's eyes hardened.

"Why do you want to know, Black?"

Sirius dug his nails into the flesh, "Because I hear she's important!"

"Piss off!"

He was past his limit, and in that split second, Sirius began to punch James in the stomach. Knocking the wind out of him, James began to hunch over in pain, gasping for air. A painful grunt came from his mouth, and James began to curse Sirius for being a nosey bastard.

"Sirius, for fuck's sake, she's-"

A raspy hollow voice cut in, a sound so heart wrenching and deathly soft.

"-Right here, thank you very much."


A/n:
