{A/N YO what's up YO. Lo siento, yo no quiero habla contigo. That means I'm sorry, I don't want to talk to you, in Spanish! Hehe! Okee, that last chapter- huh? What went wrong there? Oh well! Haha! We'll find out now! Hehehehehehehehe!}
Soul Mates… or Playmates? Part 9
What?"
"Why? What happened?" said all of Lily's friends as she was enveloped in a hug.
"Nothing happened, he just didn't want to be my boyfriend anymore, okay?" Lily said as she stormed over to her bed, and flopped down on it. Then she wrenched the hangings shut, and said in a muffled voice, "Can you guys please leave me alone for a while?"
"Sure, Lil," Suzanne said, and she, Lucy Nadia filed silently out of the room.
Lily rolled over, with tears streaming down her face. Why couldn't she just tell him? What was so wrong? It's no big thing, she's told it to a lot of boys before, without meaning it. Why couldn't she say it to James? And James. He was such a jerk. But he's wonderful in everyway. He's the best boy, nicest - he was just so nice. She sat there going through the evening in her mind. It started out so nicely...
~**~**~**~**~FLASHBACK~**~**~**~**~
The evening has started out with a nice candlelit dinner at the most romantic place in the world. Of course, this was only Lily's opinion, so many may not agree.
The name of this particular restaurant was, Hoggy's.
Then again, Lily wasn't all for fancy restaurants.
When they got there, they were led into the romantic section. It wasn't too romantic, but it certainly was enough for her. Lily smiled at James, as he handed her a lily.
"A Lily for a Lily." He had said.
~**~'What went wrong there?' Lily thought as she remembered the evening~**~
"Aw, that is so sweet. I didn't get you anything, I don't why, and I should have."
"Shh... It's all right; this is your special evening. Nothing will go wrong."
Lily smiled. Pretty soon they were finished with there meals, (Pasta for Lily, and a steak for James), and James announced he had a special place to bring her.
This was about one hour and a half later.
James paid for the whole meal, (20 Sickles, 7 Knuts.)
He led her away through the woods on the far side of Hogsmeade, which is near Hoggy's, and when they emerged Lily gasped.
$$
But, this is when we must stop and ask ourselves, is it a horrified gasp? Or is it an adoring gasp?
For those of you who guessed horrified, you are incorrect.
$$
On the other side of the woods was a beautiful scene. There was a sparkling brook, surrounded by the beautiful trees. The only sound around them was the faint, faint chatter of people, which was very faint. {I did that on purpose. To be funny.}
And of course, the bubbling brook.
"Lily, you are so beautiful. There's something that I want to tell you. Just, be quiet for a second, I need to get this out. Lily, I - I love you. This isn't just a rushed 'I'll owl you later' type of I love you. This is sincere. You are the only girl that I've ever loved, and the only girl I'll ever love."
Lily just stared at him. "I -" she quickly avoided eye contact, "I love… I love this place! How did you ever find it?"
James leaned forward. "Lily, did you hear me? I said I love you."
Lily looked at him with a hopeless look in her eyes. "I heard you James, I just -- don't know how to respond, or react. I like you a lot. A REAL lot."
James looked crest-fallen. Disbelieving. Even outraged. "So, you don't love me too?" he said this very sadly.
Lily looked at him. "Well, it's hard for me to say, I've never really said it before, I mean -"
"Save it Lily." James said, his voice was sharp.
"James, please don't be mad, I really like you - maybe someday, I'll have the courage to tell you that I love you, but it just can't be now."
"Fine. Come on, I'm going back, are you coming?"
"Yes," Lily mumbled.
As they were walking through the woods, James stopped very suddenly, causing Lily to walk into him, and she fell over. James didn't do much to help her up, he just held out his hand, but he didn't pull her up.
"Thanks," Lily said sarcastically.
"Lily, since you don't have feelings for me, I think we should break up. I don't want to be your boyfriend anymore, I'm sorry, but that's just the way it is."
Then he walked the two-minute walk back to Hogwarts by himself, leaving Lily there, looking very, very sad.
~**~**~**~**~**~END OF FLASHBACK~**~**~**~**~**~**~
Lily, was crying by now, but went to sleep, before she could really notice.
When everyone woke up, they all got dressed, like every other day.
Lily pretended to be fine, laughing, acting cheerful, but the cheerfulness did not reach her sad eyes, or sad smile.
They went down to the Great Hall, taking a detour, because the normal way was the way James usually went.
When Lily got to the Great Hall, she didn't want to go. She finally gave into the many protests of her friends. ("Come on Lily, you'll starve!" "Who cares? You can eat can't you?" "Psh, boys suck anyway.")
When Lily walked in, her fellow students didn't trouble themselves to lower their voices. ("She looks sadder than usual doesn't she?" "I wonder if it's true…" "Ooh! That means James Potter is free!")
Lily pretended to ignore them, but each gossip word struck her hard. When she sat down, she made note to sit with the First Years, because James never sat there.
"Come on Lily! James didn't sit there because it's the worst place for us 6th years to sit!"
"Fine."
Lily reluctantly followed.
Of course, Suzanne plopped herself right next to Sirius. THEY were still an item. James wasn't in sight, so Lily sat down next to Lucy, who was next to Suzanne, and across from Peter, who sat next to Remus, who was across from Nadia. {woo!}
"So, Lily! What did you do to James now?" Peter said.
"Shut up Peter." Sirius said.
"Sorry, Lily." Peter said, somewhat ashamed.
Lily just ignored him, and continued loading up her plate with toast and scrambled eggs. She didn't why, she wasn't very hungry. She supposed it kept her busy.
Just then the mail came. A large tawny owl came swooping right in front of Lily - holding a Howler. Lily's eyes widened, but they were very impassive.
"You better just open it up Lil, it'll be over in a few seconds…" Nadia said cautiously.
"Yeah, I suppose you're right… but I wonder what it's all about?"
Lily carefully picked up the flaming red envelope. Very slowly, she ripped it open…
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO JAMES POTTER?! IT'S NOT A WONDER, YOU PROBABLY DID SOMETHING HORRIBLE, BEING THE HORRIBLY STUPID PERSON THAT YOU ARE!" shrieked Pulchra's voice. Nearby, Pulchra was looking at Lily with a smug expression on her face. "YOU PROBABLY TRIED TO SLEEP WITH HIM, YOU WHORE! YOU'RE A LITTLE PROSTITUTE, I SAW YOU PAYING SOME GUY TO SLEEP WITH YOU THE OTHER DAY! DON'T DENY IT! POTTER PROBABLY FOUND OUT HOW GROSS YOU ARE, YOU - YOU-MUDBLOOD!" Then the Howler crumpled up into a pile of ashes.
Lily sat there in shock. Everyone was straining to look at her. She was shaking with fury. Her eyes however, were very sad. All the other girls around her were whispering to each other.
Pulchra stood up and sauntered over to the Gryffindor table, where everyone was staring at Lily. When Pulchra got there, she bent over.
"Looks like Potter wants to go out with a nice pure-blood, instead of a filthy Mudblood like you." She said, not bothering to lower her voice.
The teachers were too shocked to do anything, so they just sat there.
Lily stood up, and was now face to face with Pulchra.
"I hope you rot in hell, you bitch." She said in a dangerously quiet voice.
"You can tell me what its like, because it looks like you're already there." Pulchra replied.
Professor Mcgonagall finally came to her senses and stood up, but Lily, her anger boiling up inside of her, snapped.
"FUCK YOU!" She screamed, and punched Pulchra right on the nose, and then ran out of the room sobbing.
"Lily! Wait! Lily Evans…" she heard all of these shouts, but didn't stop for any of them. She just wanted to die. She ran across the Entrance Hall, past James. He had heard the whole thing. He looked disbelieving.
"Lily," he called.
She stopped cold, and whirled around. She was glaring at him, with tears running down her cheeks. "Don't ever talk to me again. I HATE you."
Then she turned around, and ran as fast as she could out of the castle and ran into the forest. She ran, ran and ran.
She ran for about an hour.
She wanted to die. She wanted to die.
She stopped dead.
It looked like she was about to get her wish…
{A/N: soo… did you like it? I'm in a writing class at my school, so my writing is improving. Did you notice? J I hope so. I try hard, but it's getting to be the end of the school year, so it's busy for me. I wrote this in English… so be happy! J okee, please review!
