Lily and James: the Sixth Year Chapter Two love-ends-with-
hope
I apologise in advance for my language, there are 3 or 4 swear words in here. Sorry!
James turned on his heel and stormed up the stairs, followed by Sirius,
whose movements were hampered by the need to pause every other step to burst
out laughing.
"Padfoot, you moron," James said angrily. " This is not funny. I need your help."
"Sorry, Prongs, I can't do anything about the ink, you heard Lily, its permanent."
Answered Sirius, almost gleefully.
"Not with this, you git, I need your help getting Evans back." James replied.
"Oh, no. No way in hell Prongs. Last time I got involved with you and Lily was in the
third year, during your Pranks War. It took a year and a half to get her to talk to
me again! No way, am I doing that again." Said Sirius, very seriously (sorry for the
pun)
"But, Padfoot, old buddy, we make such a great team; you and me, humiliating Evans,
it will be like old times." James said, starting to get desperate.
"What if I didn't like the 'old times '?" Countered Sirius quietly
"Gone all soft for her, have you?" James replied coldly
"No, well, not like that. She's my friend, James, not only will I not help you, but I'm
telling you right now, do not do anything to her." Said Sirius, in a tone that told
James to back off. James, of course, being James, was not one to back off.
"Anything? Not even harmless little pranks?" He asked, almost pleadingly.
"Prongs, there is nothing 'harmless' in your pranks, they are cruel, and spiteful. So
don't you dare." Sirius said roughly
"God damn it, where the hell is the Padfoot I used to know? The one who always
helped me prank Evans? You used to be so much fun, now I don't know what you are."
James was beginning to wonder just what it was that had changed his best friend
so much.
" I am still that Padfoot, I just happen to look out for my friends now." Responded
Sirius, without even thinking about it.
"So, I'm not your friend anymore? Is that what you're saying? How dare you, you
were nothing until you met me, without me, you are nothing, you have nothing."
James responded with anger in his voice.
"You're wrong, James, I still have my pride, at least."
With that, Sirius walked calmly out the door and down the stairs. He sat on the
couch facing Remus (A/N: note the lack of Peter.burn in hell, rat boy!).
"How is he?"
"Well, you know James, Moony. Always in some type of mood or other, I thought it
best to leave him alone for a while. So, on a happier note, what do you say to a game
of Wizard's Chess? Moony, old pal." Sirius replied, not ready to inform his friend of
the hurt James had caused him.
"Feel like being beaten again, Padfoot?" Joked Remus, already summoning the game
from the table I had been left on last.
"Ah, well, you never know when my luck could change." Sirius said, with little hope in
his voice. Just then, James thundered down the stairs.
"What is it with that boy, making dramatic entrances and exits today?" Asked
Sirius.
"You're actually down here, not comforting your mudblood friend?" James asked
Sirius coldly.
"How dare you call her that, you self righteous son-of-a-bitch? Lily is better than I
am, and better than you can ever hope to become. You asshole, how dare you even
think for one second that you're better than her? You know, if she is what muggle-
borns are, and you are what purebloods are, I'm glad that I'm also muggle- born."
At this, James had the grace to looked surprised.
"Oh, that's right, I'm not a pureblood. That's some small detail for my 'best friend'
to forget. You stupid bastard, you never care about anyone but yourself, and you
never will. You know why, cause no one would give you the time of day. You aren't
worth it." Sirius's diatribe was cut short by a punch in the face from James.
" Don't you dare ever insult me, again, you damn mudblood. You and your girlfriend,
Evans, will be sorry you ever crossed a Potter. I will make you very sorry. By the
time I'm done, you'll wish you'd never been born at all. Goodbye, Padfoot." The last
word was said wish such venom, the entire common room went cold. With this, James stormed out of the portrait hole, only to run into Lily Evans herself. "Get out of my way, Mudblood," James said coldly "What did you call me?" "You heard me, Mudblood. That' what you are isn't it?"
For this comment, James was rewarded with a slap across the face. You'll be sorry, Evans," said James as walked passed her.

I'm going to end this here for now, I know it doesn't seem to fit the story now, but it will, when it's done. This chapter didn't turn out exactly how I wanted it to, but I seem to be slave to my keyboard here, what are you going do? Liked it? Hated it? Indifferent? Please let me know what you thought of it so far.
I'd like to thank my reviewers: OtterMoon: Thank you for being my first reviewer! You can't know how much it means to me. Glad you liked it, hope this chapter didn't disappoint you too much. Aurgia: Thank you for that, I hope this chapter worked better. Thanks for reviewing. BeCky: I'm glad you liked it, I'm afraid this chapter isn't quite so 'cute' but I can promise there will be cute ones in the future. Saloma: Thank you for the kind review! I'm wondering, do you mind if I use the idea about the ink??? It's much better than anything I thought of! Again, I promise more cuteness in the future. J.M Roliestar: I wrote more!! Yay! Thanks for reviewing!
