::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Week after week went by. Neither James nor Lily attempted to speak to one another. But they still snuck glances at one another in class and during their time in the Great Hall. James was absolutely miserable. His temper was uncontrollable and he had gone back to his hexing kids in the hall and snapping at anyone who accidentally bumped into him. His friends were worried as well, so one day, as they sat in their dorm room, they decided to confront him.
"James, seriously, you're not the same. I mean, all last year, you were obsessed with the girl and even though she didn't like you, you were always happy. Now you're just...miserable," Sirius said.
"You guys, you just don't understand," James sighed.
"What don't we understand? We haven't played one prank yet, all because of you! What happened to the Maurderers, James? What happened to Moony, Padfoot, Prongs and Wormtail? You've barely said two words to us!" Remus blurted out. Everyone stared at him. Remus was usually the soft-spoken one. "Sorry, but I'm just angry."
"You know, Remus, you're right! I'm sorry, I've been a total prick! Lets go out! Have a butterbeer and then come back and do some pranks! What do you say?"
They all grinned, this was the James Potter they knew.
"Defiantly," Peter said.
So, the four boys did go to The Three Broomsticks.....and then after a few butterbeers.....they went to The Hogs Head......and after a few shots of firewhiskey......to the shrieking shack.....and then went and set up some traps and tricks around the castle. Enough to get them laughing hysterically in the middle of a deserted corridor, anyway. They ran into Filch, of course, and since they were all under James's invisibility cloak, gave him a few kicks. "For pure revenge," Sirius had told them.
When the boys got back to their dorm, they simply collapsed on their respectable beds and fell asleep.
..........................................................................................................................................
The four boys were seriously hung over the next morning. So hung over in fact, that when they entered the Great Hal and were greeted by the bright sun, from the ceiling, they practically fell over each other.
"Waaaaay to bright," James had said.
Lily had stared at them when they had entered.
"The nerve of them! Coming into the Great Hall like that, with everyone to see! Especially James! He's head boy and should know better! What a horrid example!"
"Oh Lily, you're just jealous, since they didn't ask you to go with them!" Coppelia Dorington said, smirking at Lily.
Coppeilia was Lily's best friend, in the entire world. She was absolutly gorgeous. She looked exactly like Snow White, with her long black hair, white skin and cherry red lips. She had bright blue eyes and no freckles and her eyelashes were the envy of most girls, since they were so long.
"No I'm not! Maybe on a weekend! But it's a weekday!" Lily insisted, although what Coppelia had said, was true.
Usually, when the boys went out. They always invited her and Coppelia along with them. Sometimes Summer went to. Lily supposed that James didn't want her there. She looked down the table at them. Remus was sitting next to some fifth year, his head on her shoulder. She didn't look unhappy about it either. Sirius, who had large black sunglasses on, was insisting that he hadn't kissed anyone last night, while Peter was laughing and talking to Frank Longbottom about how he had snogged some girl in The Hog's Head. James was swaying in his seat, holding his head in his hands, complaining about how much his head hurt.
James felt someone watching him, he raised his head and looked around. Lily was watching him. When he looked at her, she blushed and quickly looked away, but James continued to stare at her. She was so beautiful, so tempting. Yet, he knew he would probably never speak to him again. He put his head back down.
/////////////////////////////////~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~///////////////////////////////////~~~~~~~~~~
Lily was absolutly lost in thought, she didn't even realize that her book-changed-into-mouse was running around her desk, nibbling on her quill. Instead she was imagining that she was a princess in a tower and that Amos was the lovely, but arrogant prince, and that James was the gorgeous, passionate, and kind outcast who she loved and loved her in return.
"But why give James the better role?" She thought to herself.
"Well, he is more handsome that Amos. And Amos is a bit conceited.....and James does really love you," She said to herself.
"True, true," she mused. "Yes, I'll keep James as the kind outcast. HE fits the part much better."
She imagined herself escaping her castle and getting away from Amos to visit James in the forest. She imagined him whispering sweet nothings in her ear and kissing her passionately.
"Whoa! Where on Earth did that come from?" Lily said to herself, furrowing her brow and then smiling. "Who cares?" And she went back to dreaming.
"Ms. Evans," Professor McGonagall's shout called her back to reality," What in Heaven's name are you doing? Please, try to pay a little more attention or I will have to give you detention! This is the fourth time that I've had to reprimand you!"
"Sorry Professor," Lily mumbled. She let her eyes wander around the classroom and they settled on James, who was already watching her. They stood staring at each other for a few seconds, before James turned his head away. Lily sighed and bent down to write about the transfiguration spell they were working in.
"So, what's going on between you and James, anyway? You never talk, but you're always staring at each other." Coppelia questioned her.
"You really want to know, Copper?" Lily replied, using Coppelia's nickname. Coppelia nodded.
Lily brought her voice down to a whisper, "We snogged....and I basically slapped him in the face by telling him that I would never like him in return."
"You what! Lily! How could you? That's so - so horrid!"
"Oh, Copper, don't scold me! I....we can't."
Coppelia sighed, "Well, I suppose you know best."
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Lily roamed down the halls. She scuffed her heels, she reached the spiral staircase and began climbing it slowly. Mid-way through, though, she stopped and sat down on a stair. She felt depressed. A heavy feeling was always on her chest. She had hardly smiled since the who fiasco with James had happened.
James.... She really had no idea what to do with him. She knew that deep inside her, that she was very keen on him. But bring herself to admitting that would basically be defeating what she had always worked for, which was to show James that she wasn't like everyone else. That, unlike all the other girls he had courted, she would never fall for him.
Suddenly, Lily heard footsteps. She looked up and saw James walking down the staircase, his invisibility cloak slung over his shoulder. He stopped, looking like a deer caught in headlights.
"Oh, sorry, I must be in your way," Lily said quietly and she quickly stood up.
"Yeah, thanks."
He walked past her and never looked back.
"Well, at least he acknowledge you," she muttered under her breath
Lily had seriously forgotten how much fun her friends really were.
When she had gotten back to the Common Room, she had run into Summer, who had insisted that she come up to the dorms.
The ? girls were running around, jumping on the beds, and dressing up, looking like whores, with music blasting from some wizarding radio. Piper Adams, one of Lily's good friends, had some tiny black miniskirt on and a bright pink bra on. Her face was decorated in pink and blue pastel colors and in her hair, which was pinned on the top of her head, she wore a huge feather. Right now, she was standing on the bed with Summer, who was wearing a very short pink halter-top dress and huge silver platform shoes, singing "Like A Virgin."
After some persuasion, Lily had dressed up herself and was now dancing around with Coppelia. She was wearing a strapless red bra, a blue miniskirt, and some huge trashy knee-high black boots. Lily was in an outfit that could have been considered lingerie, considering that the pale pink material was mostly lace and barely covered her. On her feet were a pair of black kitten heels.
The other girls in the room were running around laughing, throwing pillows, and dancing along with Lily and Coppelia. The whole site was very comical, well, that is until the door swung open. Thankfully, it wasn't Mcgonagall. Actually, the people standing there were much, much worse.
James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Frank Longbottom, all stood standing there, their mouths hanging open.
The girls had all frozen and stood there, barely dressed. Lily, who had been standing right next to the door, practically smashed the "off" button on the radio and turned to look at the boys. She crossed her arms over her chest.
"Couldn't you knock?"
"Er.....we did, but I suppose you could hear us. You guys were being pretty loud, you know," Siruis said, slowly.
"Oh," Coppelia said, "Well, what was it you wanted?"
"Erm...well, we kinda wanted to see what was going on in here," Frank said, looking Emma Thomas up and down.
"We have a meeting with Dumbledore, Lily, we should have been there ten minutes ago," James whispered, his eyes were transfixed on Lily.
"We did!" Lily squealed. "I totally forgot about that! Oh my God!"
She grabbed some clothes and a black robe and dashed into the bathroom, to change. The rest of them stood there uncomfortably, sneaking glances at one another. Until finally, Coppelia began too laugh, hard, and soon the whole room was laughing.
"You- you guys..should've seen the looks," Summer said, or rather laughed, while clutching her stomach.
"Us! You looked like complete idiots!" Sirius said, smiling at her, "Although, you do look rather sexy in that dress, Summer. Wanna snog?"
Summer shrugged, "Sure why not."
She hopped off the bed and walked out of the room with Sirius, they held each others hands.
"That was kind of random," Coppeilia said, a look of puzzlement on her face. "Summer can be such a ditz."
James was still standing there, his hands in his pockets, waiting for Lily. The rest of the teenagers slowly departed and the girls politely asked if they could excuse them and shut the door, so they could get dressed. About five minutes later, Lily rushed out of the dorm room, running into James.
"Oh, sorry. Well, lets go."
"Right."
The walked out of the Common Room and began their walk to the headmasters office. Lily was busy tying her hair up as James watched her. He had almost forgotten he was supposed to be mad at her. He shoved his hands in his pockets and sighed,
"Look, Lily. I'm really sorry. About what happened, I....I've been a real jerk."
Lily had stopped walking and was looking at him, she looked like she was about to break down and cry.
"Oh, that's okay. It's actually my fault. I'm the one who went in and snogged with you and then practically slapped you in the face."
"Yeah, you did, but I shouldn't have kissed you in the first place. You have a.....a.....boyfriend."
"Oh, Amos," she laughed, "I don't even know what I'd call him. I haven't really talked to him lately. Although, we are going out to The Three Broomsticks tonight. I'd invite you, but I know how much you two hate each other."
James laughed, "Yeah, well. It's a guy thing, I suppose."
"James, although I don't think anything will ever happen between us, can we be friends?"
"How about friends with some privileges?"
Lily laughed, "You idot, I'm not going to snog you!"
"All right, all right. I guess I should take what I can get, right?"
"Right."
The two people laughed for a while. Lily smiled, and looked down, unable to look him in the eye. When she did look back up, James laughed again, and picked her up and swung her around.
"Man, it's good to not be fighting anymore! I was beginning to think we would never talk again!"
"Oh, I don't think so. I'm to forgiving. Come on, we're going to be late."
"We already are late, Lily."
"Oh.....well, let's not be even later!"
She grabbed his hand and began pulling him down the corridor, both were smiling bigger than ever.
